Master of Kaidan-Chapter 509: Epic Enhancement for Little Sister

...An hour later...

Feng Xue buttoned up her shirt, a slight smirk on her lips as she looked at the Pen Immortal, who appeared so limp as if she might melt away. She took a small wooden token out of her pocket and handed it over.

"What, what are you trying to do now?"

Watching Feng Xue handing over the wooden token, the school uniform ghost shrank back abruptly, although the plastic wrap had already been removed. She had no intention of running away, as if she had completely forgotten that she was a ghost.

"This is a good thing, a temporary work contract. After all, there’s no Heavenly Court here, and you’re not part of the Taoist system, so I can’t officially make you a Layman. This will have to do for now," fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Feng Xue casually explained before tossing the wooden token at the Pen Immortal.

The school uniform ghost watched the wooden token flying towards her, instinctively reached out to catch it, but the next moment, she tossed it up like a hot potato, not daring to drop it. She could only keep catching it with her hands.

After about fifty seconds of what seemed like a scene from a slapstick cartoon, the "high temperature" on the token finally seemed to dissipate. The school uniform ghost tightened her grip on the token, but her expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, the school uniform, which was an eyesore, was replaced by a flowing fairy gown, and her hairstyle also transformed into a classical bun.

"It’s the badge of the Lord of Destiny. Certified for the job, which involves settling people’s lifespans. Don’t write nonsense when you start working; with your habit of writing ’death’ for everything, don’t go killing people again."

"Ah, is this... the legendary hidden rule?" the Pen Immortal girl tilted her head slightly, looking at the wooden token with some confusion. Feng Xue’s face darkened as she said,

"How can you even say that? Weren’t you the one who insisted on merging with me?"

Upon hearing this, the Pen Immortal burst into tears: "Who would have thought you’d be such a scam! I’m just a Pen Immortal, and you lit the incense in the two-short-one-long pattern, you didn’t send me away, plus you lit white candles. And now you blame me in the end? You’re such a high-profile character, able to divine the secrets of heaven, calling a Pen Immortal for what? And you know I just write ’death,’ is giving me a position calculating lifespans hoping I make a mistake so you can knock me off?"

"Good grief, if I offered you the position of the Lord of Destiny, would you dare to take it? Are you a schoolgirl aspiring to be the God of Culture or the Ziwei Star Lord? Or maybe I should offer you the role of Judge? And then you’ll hook a monkey and bring it down?"

Feng Xue rolled her eyes and took out a few more wooden tokens from her pocket, with an air of ’dare to take, I dare to give.’ The Pen Immortal girl, who originally had no concept of the Star Lords, immediately cowered upon hearing these names. She hugged the temporary work badge of the Lord of Destiny to her chest and weakly said,

"This is pretty good; I’m not bad at math. Well, it’s just calculating lifespans; will I even get to use calculus?"

"Good girl~ Okay, come back into the pen." Feng Xue waved the expensive steel pen, and the Pen Immortal girl looked down at her new clothes, and finally, nodded her head. She transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and went back into the pen.

You’ve got to say, the transformation that comes with sealing a divine position is immediate and apparent. Apart from anything else, the chilly aura was gone in an instant, and even the special effects turned into wisps of blue smoke.

"Speaking of which, where is your ancestral grave? When I’m free, I’ll stick you in your family’s ancestral grave so it can be considered having smoke coming from it."

Feng Xue flicked her finger, and the steel pen agilely spun on her fingertip. The Pen Immortal residing in the pen was turned to the point of irritation but didn’t dare to speak loudly. Sh e could only say meekly:

"I don’t have any ancestors’ graves to speak of, okay? I don’t even know who I am, alright?"

"Aren’t you supposed to be good at divination? Can’t you figure it out yourself?"

Feng Xue fished out a bottle of Phantom Cola from Infinite City from her waist pouch and guzzled it down fiercely. The Pen Fairy girl, however, was completely thrown off by that remark. She popped right out of the pen like a genie, with half her body floating outside and exclaimed angrily,

"Don’t you know that Pen Fairies can’t be asked about their life before death or the cause of death? Don’t think that just because you can fight, you can disrespect taboos at will! Pen Fairies have dignity too!"

"Oh." Feng Xue responded nonchalantly with a nod of her head, which instantly made the Pen Fairy girl lose confidence. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke in an even weaker voice,

"Well then, how about you find me some meaningful work? Like predicting the weather for tomorrow? Or maybe what to have for lunch?"

"You can even predict what’s for lunch?" Feng Xue’s eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing this reaction, the Pen Fairy girl puffed out her chest and proudly declared,

"I wouldn’t dare claim to predict marriage prospects and the future, but such trivial matters are quite simple. Let me see... Hey? Do you want to have hot pot for lunch today? By the way, do they even serve hot pot around here?"

"Oh, then I’ll just have instant noodles for lunch." Feng Xue shrugged, clipping the expensive steel pen to her chest. The Pen Fairy girl wasn’t pleased at all and scolded,

"You’re being rather dull, you know. And I’ve already predicted it; you’re definitely going to have hot pot. Even if you want to eat something else, something will prevent you from getting it. Even if you decide not to eat at all, at the very least, a bite of hot pot will make its way to your mouth."

Feng Xue looked at the Pen Fairy girl with a hint of interest and checked the expensive steel pen again to make sure there were no new transformations. Then she voiced her skepticism, "Is it really that powerful?"

"It is. My power is divination. It might be inaccurate at times, but once it’s correct, unless there’s a power higher than my divination directly intervening, it will certainly come true. Like this, if I predict that someone will die on a certain day ten years from now, that person will live until that day, no matter if they are decapitated, have their heart dug out, burned, drowned, or even if you send them into outer space."

"That doesn’t sound very strong since your own power is just so-so." Feng Xue snorted and suddenly felt like bringing out the ghost hand for a stroll. After all, in the Mysterious World, the all-capable ghost hand was incredibly strong. The only problem was that it wasn’t quite under control.

"Don’t underestimate me!" The Pen Fairy girl became furiously angry. Her eyes widened with anger, and she tried to put on a menacing, ghost-like, life-threatening expression. However, she was now part of the Immortal system, albeit as a temporary worker, and there were appearance standards to uphold. No matter how fierce she appeared, it was merely an imposing shiver, lacking any spookiness or terror.

However, this Pen Fairy sister didn’t seem to be aware of that. She forcefully displayed an Immortal’s anger and scolded,

"Though my strength might not be much, divination doesn’t depend on the Divination’s power but on the Mysterious Divination System itself. I used to use Mysterious Divination, which employs the entire Mysterious System’s rules, therefore showing eerie behaviors like ’surviving dismemberment until the predicted death’. Now with this, I also have to factor in the Star Lord System. So to break through my divination, you’d have to break through both the Mysterious System and the Star Formation System of this world."

Listening to the Pen Fairy, Feng Xue didn’t retort further but started pondering to himself.

He was certain that this wasn’t the original setting for the Pen Fairy, or rather, the steel pen itself was akin to a death flag. By playing with the Pen Fairy, one would inevitably be assaulted by the Pen Fairy. The Pen Fairy was just a non-specific derivative, unlikely to possess such nearly "Power" prioritized traits. This was evident when he couldn’t even find a bit of "beep—" fluid after inviting the Pen Fairy in Infinite City.

"So, the reason why the Pen Fairy retains such a high level of anthropomorphism even after I’ve put away the Feminization Filter must be an issue with this world... Or more specifically, it’s some force in this world bestowing ’settings’ to ghosts."
