Divine Seal: I, the Grim Reaper, am kept by the yandere Cai'er.

Chapter 18 Phantom Tracking: The Transformation and Shyness of a Blind Girl

The journey from Exorcism Pass to the Holy City, the headquarters of the Holy Temple Alliance, is long and arduous. Even riding the finest scaled horses, it would take a full ten days to travel day and night.

However, not long after leaving the exorcism pass, Bai Ye gave Cai'er an "inhuman" order: she was not allowed to ride a horse and had to walk.

Beside the official road, Cai'er, dressed in a black outfit and blindfolded, stopped.

She tightened her grip on the bamboo cane slightly, her previously cool face immediately fell, her lips pursed, and her voice carried a hint of undisguised grievance: "You always bully me..."

In his mind's eye, Bai Ye, who was about to launch into a long lecture, was suddenly startled.

Looking at the pitiful, even slightly coquettish, blind little girl outside, Bai Ye's divine sense couldn't help but fluctuate.

This art style is off!

Where did the ruthless and invincible assassin queen from the original work go?

She looks like a little girl next door who has been wronged at home and is having a fight with her elders!

But then, a gentle smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips.

Yes, with him around, Cai'er shouldn't have had to endure so much coldness and despair.

Now, she truly embodies the vibrant spirit of a thirteen-year-old girl.

"Ahem," Bai Ye cleared his throat and explained gently, "I'm not making you walk to torture you. For the rest of the journey, I'm going to teach you a profound movement technique called 'Phantom Tracking.' This stretch of road from Exorcism Pass to the Holy City will be your training ground."

Upon hearing that it was a new unique skill, Cai'er's aggrieved expression vanished instantly, and a joyful smile couldn't be suppressed from spreading across her lips.

She always had the purest desire to become stronger.

Bai Ye didn't hold back either, immediately imprinting the spiritual energy circulation route and power exertion techniques of "Phantom Tracking" into Cai'er's mind.

This movement technique emphasizes being as elusive as a ghost and as swift as lightning. Once mastered, it not only allows one to travel in a fraction of an inch, but also makes it impossible for enemies to even touch the hem of their clothes in battle.

Cai'er's comprehension was already extraordinary. After closing her eyes and carefully comprehending it for a moment, she leaned on her green bamboo cane and began to practice it, albeit clumsily, on the official road.

Meanwhile, Saint Moon, who was secretly escorting her from hundreds of meters away, nearly popped her eyes out.

"What... what kind of movement technique is this?!"

Watching the blind girl's steps ahead, which had initially been awkward, become ethereal and eerie at an alarming speed, Saint Moon's heart was filled with turmoil.

This movement technique is so exquisite, it's practically a divine skill tailor-made for assassins!

"A self-created skill! This is definitely a self-created skill!" Saint Moon excitedly punched the tree trunk, overjoyed. "As expected of the Reincarnation Saintess of my Assassin's Temple, such monstrous talent is simply a gift from heaven!"

The poor Lord of the Holy Moon Palace had no idea that these so-called "self-created divine skills" were all taught by a "deity" residing in Cai'er's sea of ​​consciousness.

For the rest of the journey, Cai'er completely immersed herself in practicing "Phantom Tracking".

In just three days, her movement technique had been perfected, and she moved through the mountains and forests as fast as lightning, like a black ghost.

Three days later, her speed increased dramatically again, and each step she took carried a slight spatial fluctuation, almost like a flash!

"Bai Ye, your movement technique is amazing!" Cai'er cheered excitedly in her mind, like a child begging for candy. "How many more amazing techniques do you have up your sleeve? Quick, hand them all over!"

Looking at Cai'er's adorable "robbery" expression, Bai Ye chuckled indulgently, "Don't worry, you little greedy devil. As long as you can learn it, I will teach you all my secret techniques without reservation at the right time."

Hearing Bai Ye's promise, Cai'er felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and her steps became lighter.

……

On this day, Cai'er, weary from her journey, finally arrived at Amy City, which was only two days' journey from the Holy City.

"Alright, let's rest in Amy City for a day." In his mind's eye, Bai Ye teased with a mischievous smile, "These past few days in the wild, exposed to the wind and sun, our Cai'er is covered in dust and doesn't smell as sweet and soft anymore."

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Cai'er's face flushed red to her ears, and she retorted inwardly, embarrassed and annoyed.

Although she couldn't see, she could feel that her clothes were already soaked with sweat and dust.

She rarely bickered with Bai Ye, and their banter in their minds was filled with a comforting warmth.

Upon entering Le Méridien, Cherrie found a high-end hotel to check into.

After closing the door, she eagerly asked the waiter to bring her hot water.

Shedding her blood-stained and dust-covered black outfit, Cai'er slowly immersed her petite body in the warm bathtub, letting out a comfortable sigh.

Warm water enveloped my skin, washing away the fatigue of the past few days.

However, just as she picked up a towel to wipe her body, her movements suddenly froze.

Beneath the black veil, a tempting blush crept onto her delicate face at a visible speed.

As girls grow older, their bodies begin to develop, and the shyness that belongs to young girls finally awakens belatedly.

She suddenly realized a serious problem—Bai Ye was in her sea of ​​consciousness, which meant… he could “see” everything she did while she was taking a shower?!

"Bai Ye..." Cai'er bit her lower lip, her voice barely audible, filled with intense shyness, "You...were you watching me take a shower?"

In his mind's eye, Bai Ye suppressed a laugh and feigned innocence, asking, "What's wrong? Haven't you been doing this for the past four years?"

"what!"

These blunt words instantly shattered Cai'er's last psychological defenses. Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, she submerged herself completely in the water, leaving only half her head above water, and angrily cried out in her mind, "The past is the past! Now...now you're not allowed to look! Close your eyes!"

"Okay, okay, I'll close it. I didn't see anything." Bai Ye cooperated by cutting off his senses of the outside world, laughing so hard his shoulders shook.

Cai'er breathed a sigh of relief, but still emphasized with concern, "From now on... from now on, you're not allowed to peek when I'm taking a shower or changing clothes!"

"I know, I know," Bai Ye couldn't help but tease again. "Besides, what's so interesting about your skinny little body? There's nothing to see."

"You—!" Cai'er suddenly looked like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, popping her head out of the water in embarrassment and anger, waving her little fists, and declaring loudly and defiantly, "I...I'll grow up later!"

"Hahahaha..." Bai Ye's hearty laughter suddenly echoed in her mind, making Cai'er so angry that she splashed around in the bathtub.
