American Exorcism Male God

Word Bonding? Xu Yi's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the system.

The conditions for initiating a Word Bond were extremely stringent, requiring not only sufficient energy but also a Loyalty Value or Favorability that met the standard.

The hardest part was that the object of the first Bond had to possess the Talent of Word Awakening.

This series of conditions could only be met by a series of fortunate coincidences, which made Xu Yi now recall how he had extolled the Goddess of Luck.

How could a feature that was unlocked under such stringent conditions be common?

"Confirm activation!" Xu Yi silently chanted in his mind.

You can devour Words at any time, but you may only get one chance to activate a new feature - even a fool knows what to choose.

[Word Bond function activation in progress, estimated time until completion: 10 minutes...]

Since the activation would take some time, Xu Yi could only wait patiently. He squatted in front of the wheelchair, starting to unwrap the bandages from Lisa's hands.

The bandage was so thick that his hands began to ache before he managed to remove all of it.

Xu Yi's brows suddenly furrowed when he noticed a cut in the palm of Lisa's hand.

While applying the hemostatic sticker, he had purposely placed the rounded part of the glass shard against her palm, but it still managed to cut her hand.

The wound was about a centimeter long, a minor injury that was hardly worth mentioning; normally, it wouldn't warrant any concern.

What made Xu Yi frown was the wound's unusually rapid healing rate; in the blink of an eye, the cut had fully healed.

Xu Yi gently caressed Lisa's palm, which was smooth, without a hint of roughness.

Ailent coughed conspicuously a few times.

Continuously caressing a young girl's hand in front of her parents, are you really not afraid of getting hit?

The parents, Cassie and Andrew, however, didn't overthink it since Xu Yi's expression was so grave that they didn't associate his actions with anything inappropriate.

Xu Yi found the glass shard attached to the hemostatic sticker; the glass was still there, but the trace of blood had vanished.

If it hadn't been he who had wrapped and unwrapped the bandages himself, he would have definitely suspected that they had been swapped by someone.

"Looking at it now, it's very likely that the trace of blood on the glass shard entered Lisa's body through the wound," Xu Yi sighed, releasing Lisa's hand.

For the moment, he wasn't sure whether it was a good or bad thing.

He suddenly remembered the system's warning of "Otherkind Energy".

If it was just an Evil Spirit, to the system that wouldn't qualify as "Otherkind". Could it be referring to the mysterious bloodstain?

The more he thought about the golden flame, the more he was convinced that was the truth.

The metal doors of the warehouse opened again, and a Bulldog charged at the crowd. Xu Yi glanced indifferently at the Bulldog.

The Bulldog whimpered as if it had encountered a ferocious prehistoric beast, instinctively turned tail, and ran away.

"Is this also a spell?" Ailent felt as though he was truly seeing the world anew.

"It's merely afraid of the aura on me," Xu Yi shook his head.

The residue of the Evil Spirit's aura lingered on him. These Bulldogs had once been controlled by an Evil Spirit and knew its terror. Now, facing someone who could vanquish such spirits, their fear was understandable.

Only two or three Bulldogs were left outside the door. With the Evil Spirit gone and no longer controlled, they naturally scattered.

Several security guards and the police who had arrived were running around with dog-catching clips, trying to capture the Bulldogs.

"Let's go. We should have a doctor look at her," Xu Yi said, pushing the wheelchair towards the hospital room.

The once-chaotic hospital room had been tidied up. Doctors were examining Lisa while Xu Yi sat by quietly, waiting.

[Function loading complete, Word Bond page opened!]

"Finally!" Xu Yi opened the system with excited anticipation.

The system originally had only two pages, "Personal Word Panel" and "Resurrection Coin Store".

But now, a new "Word Bonding" page had been added.

The page featured three functional buttons: "Bond Contract," "Entry Awakening," and "Word Gifting."

Suddenly, a stream of information flooded Xu Yi's mind, and he turned to look at Ailent beside him.

[Target "Ailent" Loyalty Value 78 points, unable to form a Bond Contract.]

Oh, you Ailent, with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes, looking so loyal and devoted. Who would have thought your Loyalty Value isn't even 80!

"Boss, is there something you need?" Ailent shrank his neck, feeling creeped out under Xu Yi's gaze.

Although he was much older than Xu Yi, their interaction over this period made it clear that Xu Yi was mature beyond his years.

And the more he interacted with him, the more mysterious Xu Yi seemed.

In the past, calling him "boss" was a way to get a meal ticket, but now, there was a trace of genuine feeling to it.

"Work hard! In the future, you'll drive fancy cars, live in mansions, be accompanied by bodyguards everywhere, and have supermodels by your side changing every day!" Xu Yi patted Ailent's shoulder, starting to draw a bright future for him.

As a mature leader, how could he not know how to entice his subordinates with visions of grandeur?

Now that he thought about it, a Loyalty Value of 78 points wasn't low. A score of 60 was passing, and anything over 70 meant they were unlikely to betray you easily.

Xu Yi felt that Ailent's Loyalty Value hadn't reached 80 or above probably because he hadn't made any money yet.

Once Ailent started living the high life thanks to his role as agent, his Loyalty Value was likely to exceed 80 points.

As for achieving over 90 points to meet the contract conditions, that would be a matter of luck.

"The first part sounds good, but forget about the supermodels," Ailent coughed twice.

Ailent was already married with two kids.

Xu Yi sighed, "It seems I'll have to take on the burden myself, including your share!"

Actually, Ailent really wanted to say, leave those supermodels to me!

Xu Yi's gaze shifted to others.

[Target "Cassie" current Favorability: 72.]

So high, could this be the legendary affection of a mother-in-law for her son-in-law, growing stronger over time?

[Target "Andrew" current Favorability: 79.]

Hasn't Andrew always looked at him unfavorably? What's with this high Favorability, even higher than Cassie's?

Could it be that he's been won over?

Xu Yi discovered a hidden feature of the new panel, which was to distinguish "good people" from "bad people" by viewing their "Favorability/Loyalty Value."

After the doctor had examined Lisa and administered two bags of glucose, Lisa slowly regained consciousness.

"Lisa, you're finally awake!" Cassie could hardly contain her joy, but she quickly froze, "What happened to your hand?"

Lisa indeed had awoken, but her hands and feet were numb, barely allowing her fingers to twitch a little.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?" Andrew asked anxiously.

The doctor looked puzzled, "I've checked her thoroughly, there shouldn't be any issues with her body."

Everyone's attention returned to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi stood up and walked towards the hospital bed, Lisa's eyes following his every move.

After a careful examination of Lisa's body and utilizing his Spirit Communication Ability, Xu Yi could vaguely sense where the problem lay.

Residual energy lingered inside Lisa, unquestionably originating from the mysterious bloodstain.

Most of the energy from the bloodstain had been extracted by the system to unlock new features.

However, a small portion of the energy, due to its close connection with Lisa, couldn't be extracted and thus remained inside her.

The energy from the blood was of a very high level, and although it was only a small portion, it was not something a common person could handle.

This was akin to a dilapidated tricycle trying to carry ten tons of goods, which could only end up broken down.
