Chapter 158 Sin Eating 3 (1/2)

Coux sensed something powerful happening upstairs and so did the other patrons. Some of the demons in the shop forgot about their food and paused to look up. The spike in magical energy lasted only for a minute or so but everyone knew that it couldn't be Qin Yun. the regulars knew the fox demoness well enough. Besides, even if they didn't, something of this level could only rival a Demon Lord's.

”It must be Lord Baal's guest,” one customer speculated. The rumours became wild and Coux was unable to stop the word from spreading. What's strange was how nobody seemed frightened of the short display of power. The half-succubus briefly considered if Hell was a better environment for Zero rather than Earth. If Half Moon village didn't welcome Zero back and apologise for their treatment, she would leave it for good. There are many places a Van Doux could settle down in.

Back upstairs, Zero burped and quickly covered his mouth sheepishly. Qin Yun looked a little different but Zero couldn't place a finger on it. Was it her hair? No, that had always been the same.

Qin Yun examined herself in the window's reflection. She felt a lot lighter and in a way, younger too. Whatever Zero did was amazing. The fox demoness wondered if this meant that she could become human faster than anticipated. That aside, King Yama would surely notice the discrepancy of sins in his books after what Zero did. Sins didn't simply disappear without a trace. She glanced sideways at Zero who seemed to be analysing something.

Zero stared hard at Qin Yun's new status. The experiment proved to be successful so far. Qin Yun's sins were reflected as zero the way it should be. The queer thing Zero noticed was how Qin Yun's race status changed. Instead of a snow fox demon, it now read as snow fox spirit. Still, the lady looked exactly the same as how he remembered her to be. What could possibly be different?

When he looked down, Zero understood what was wrong at once. Qin Yun's shadow was missing!

”Your shadow...” he pointed and Qin Yun looked down.

”Oh, this is normal for spirits. I guess your experiment must have been a success.”

The teen didn't know what to say. ”Does that mean you can't remain in the abyss any longer?”

The snow fox spirit smiled. ”I have a free-pass to Hell, courtesy of Lord Baal. I'll be fine. You should be able to use this to convince everyone of your plan now. I heard from Mii that you found a way to save both Schaf and Kerberos?”

Zero nodded. ”Yes! I'm going to eat away all of Schaf's sins. That way, he can return to heaven.”

Qin Yun didn't know what to say. ”You do know that Schaf has a mixed bloodline, right? What worked for me may not work for him.”

Zero waved her concern off. ”Don't worry. I'll just have to test this on more people to understand how it works. I'll ask Coux if I could set up a business here for redemption of sins. I wouldn't be cheating people if they paid me to do it. Although I might need your help to convince them that it is safe...”

Coux wasn't too sure that Zero's plan would work. In fact, she was worried. What about the demons who were pure-blooded demons? Would the consequences be dire? A demon without sin couldn't remain in Hell, they would be rejected. Still, she didn't shoot his plan down. Instead, she encouraged him. Coux should be more than capable enough to do damage control. It was better than encouraging Zero to randomly kidnap demons to test his new abilities out.

Zero left like the wind as soon as Qin Yun nodded. She trusted that the trader would be able to stop the teen from going too far if needed. For now, the snow fox spirit seized this chance to test if the demon part of her was gone for good. Summoning the familiar feeling of magic in her veins, Qin Yun found that she could not use the mana that existed in the abyss. In fact, she felt weakened by expending so much mana. The foxfire that appeared on the tip of her finger flickered and wavered so much that she had to call it off. Perhaps she should return to the village to recharge and help Lovina meet the never-ending demands for food. She could return once she has regained her strength after she'd discussed with Baal about her unplanned vacation.

A few dozen pairs of eyes stared at the mysterious fake sheep demon who came down the stairs. Murmurs filled the little shop and spread quickly when Zero bounced over to Coux in a beeline.

”Coux!” Zero grinned. ”Can I open a sin redemption business in your shop for a little while? The experiment was successful but I need to confirm something different...”

The secretary froze, unsure about what Zero was talking about until Mii interrupted to clear the questions in the air.

The moment they heard what the strawcherry fairy said, the whispers in the shop got louder until the patrons standing outside the shop were able to catch the drift of the commotion.
