Bell was speechless upon hearing his father's words.

"Have you ever ridden in a car before? You're already feeling nostalgic?"

"Dad, don't you think this is super cool? It's like something Stand User."

Bell stared intently at the Ran Honglian behind Yomi, his eyes gleaming. He was now practically itching to get a Shikigami to raise.

"So cool! Dad, I want to ride this!"

Shanna also raised her hands high, staring at Ran Honglian with shining eyes.

If Yomi hadn't stood between her and Ran Honglian, the little girl probably would have run over and touched Ran Honglian's fur to see if this suddenly appearing giant was real.

"Where's the handsomeness?! It's hideous! And what's Stand User anyway?"

William, who was cursing under his breath, could only force a stiff smile and nod when faced with his youngest daughter's expectant gaze.

"It's all that Bell's fault! He's led my lovely, well-behaved little daughter astray!"

At this moment, William recalled the days when Shanna was just a baby. Back then, Shanna was tiny and loved being held by her father. Every time he picked Little Shanna up, Shanna would...

"Let's go, what are you spacing out for?"

Elena nudged her husband from behind. Bell and Shanna were already at the foot of the giant beast. They had to hurry and catch up to protect their son and little daughter.

"Oh."

William, whose thoughts were interrupted, could only leave it as "to be continued" for the time being.

"Please rest assured, Ran Honglian will absolutely not harm you."

Seeing William and Elena staring intently at Ran Honglian with tense bodies and unblinking eyes, Yomi was afraid that the two of them would launch an attack on Ran Honglian if they got nervous.

In that case, she wasn't confident she could stop Ran Honglian's instinctive counterattack in time.

Her job was to welcome foreign guests. If she seriously injured one of them on the first day and sent him to the hospital, she would never be able to face anyone again.

As for whether Ran Honglian will be harmed?

Yomi never considered it.

Ran Honglian is no ordinary spirit beast. Even in the entire Japan Curse World, Ran Honglian ranks among the top ten.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the ' Lion King ' sword in her hand is Ran Honglian's 'true form'. As long as the ' Lion King ' is not destroyed, Ran Honglian will be fine.

"Please hold onto Ran Honglian, we're about to set off."

After the Bell family was settled, Yomi ordered Ran Honglian to leap into the air with all her might.

After the initial novelty wore off, Bell was finally able to give an objective evaluation of Ran Honglian.

To sum it up simply in one sentence. "It's not as good as our own Flying Car."

I want to emphasize again that Bell did not destroy his own Flying Car! He didn't!

First of all, the Ran Honglian can't fly; it moves by leaping. This greatly affects the "ride" experience—it's incredibly bumpy.

Secondly, the speed is somewhat slow. It's still quite different from Flying Car.

Third, the space on your back is cramped. Let alone playing a Quidditch, it's difficult to even stand up and walk around a couple of times.

Fourth... um... Bell hasn't decided yet, I'll update when I do.

"Sister Yomi, aren't we afraid of being seen by others?"

Bell asked, puzzled.

He did sense it; when they set off, Yomi had erected a barrier. He guessed that barrier was probably for invisibility or something similar.

However, the barrier only enveloped a few people and did not include the Ran Honglian under their buttocks.

Yomi clearly understood what Bell meant, and she explained with a smile, "Ran Honglian is a spirit beast. Ordinary people without 'spiritual vision' cannot see Ran Honglian, so there is no need to worry."

Bell suddenly realized. It was a situation similar to Dementor; Muggle without magic power couldn't see them.

Although Bell complained that Ran Honglian too slow, it was still quite fast relatively speaking.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the group to reach their destination.

"Sister Yomi, is this a hotel?"

Looking at the small villa in front of him, Bell wondered if the hotel was a little too small.

The backyard looks quite large, though. Could this be the legendary guesthouse?!

Bell had heard of bed and breakfasts. However, as a poor, single man, he had never stayed in one before.

"No, this is my home."

Yomi explained calmly.

"Actually, it's like this. Recently, the activities of evil spirits have become more and more frequent. Not long ago, even the current head of the Tsuchimiya Family was attacked by an evil spirit and died from his injuries."

Therefore, for the safety of all our distinguished guests, the Countermeasures Office has specially chosen my home as your resting place. My humble abode is simple and unassuming; please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality.

Yomi bowed deeply to the Bell family, his voice filled with apology.

Yomi genuinely felt sorry for the Bell family. Of course, it wasn't because their home was particularly poor. As one of the top Onmyoji families in Tokyo, the Isayama Family, while not extremely wealthy, had never been troubled by money issues.

What truly filled Yomi with remorse was that her earlier claim of "thinking about the other party's personal safety" was actually a lie.

It is true that the activities of evil spirits have become more and more frequent recently, and it is also true that the head of the Tsuchimiya Family was attacked and died by an evil spirit not long ago.

The current head of the Tsuchimiya Family, who possesses the strongest spirit beast known as "Byakuei," is fatally injured in an attack by an evil spirit. This sends shockwaves through the entire Curse World, leaving everyone in a state of panic.

Therefore, the Bell family's decision to come to Japan to conduct "market research" at this sensitive time inevitably aroused suspicion from the Onmyoji of Yin and Yang).

Although the possibility was slim, just in case, the Countermeasures Office still dispatched Yomi to monitor Bell and the others.

Meanwhile, Tsuchimiya Kagura, the next head of the Tsuchimiya Family who had only moved to the Isayama Family a few days earlier, also temporarily moved to another place.

Yes, Yomi's mission, on the surface, was to receive the Bell family, but in reality, it was to monitor Bell.

Don't let Yomi's current status as a junior high school student fool you; she has been known as a "prodigy" since childhood, and her actual combat strength is among the best in the entire Countermeasures Office.

Furthermore, Yomi inherited the Isayama Family's treasured sword—the Lion King. Therefore, even among the younger generation of the entire Curse World, there are very few who can rival her.

Although her combat strength met the requirements, Yomi was still young. Kind-hearted and having always lived in a school environment, she couldn't yet comprehend the scheming and intrigue among adults.

So even though he hadn't done anything wrong, Yomi still felt ashamed to face the Bell family.
