At this moment, An Ye was nothing like the taciturn school janitor he once was. Dressed in a suit and tie, he was embracing a glamorous woman and ordering his subordinates, "Chen Xiao has already hooked up with Yumi! Our prey was originally that slut, Haruhara Yumi!"
Yui Yuigahama was trembling with anger, and Chen Xiao gently squeezed her hand to signal her to calm down.
Anno continued, "Once Sunohara Ikumi divorces her good-for-nothing husband, we'll make our move while Chen Xiao's not around." He added with a lewd grin, "Oh, by the way, her husband has a younger sister named Sunohara Shizuka, she's pretty good-looking too, let's start with her..."
"Wouldn't kidnapping be too risky?" the subordinate hesitated.
"Don't worry." Anno took a sip of his drink. "When Shizuka confronts Ikumi about the cheating, they'll definitely argue. That'll be the perfect opportunity!"
Yui Yuigahama looked at Chen Xiao nervously and mouthed, "Should we make a move?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and quietly pulled her out of the bar. Once they were back in a safe place, he explained, "It's better to protect Jingxiang secretly and catch them all when they make their move than to act now and alert them."
"But..." Yui Yuigahama twisted her fingers worriedly, "What if Shizuka-san really gets into danger..."
"I'm here." Chen Xiao smiled confidently, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, don't tell Yu Mei about this yet, so she won't worry."
Yui Yuigahama nodded, then suddenly threw herself into Chen Xiao's arms: "Brother Chen Xiao is so reliable!" She looked up, her eyes shining with admiration, "Are we going to protect Miss Shizuka next?"
"Leave the protection of Shizuka to me." Chen Xiao gently pinched Yui Yuigahama's cheek. "You go home first, okay?"
Yui Yuigahama lowered her head in disappointment, but quickly smiled again: "Yes! Brother Chen Xiao, please be careful!" She knew that Chen Xiao was protecting her from danger.
After watching Yui leave, Chen Xiao activated his Dimensional Eye and quickly located Sunohara Shizuka's position—an ordinary white-collar worker at a design company, who was currently working overtime.
On a rainy night, Shizuka Haruhara walked briskly down the street, holding an umbrella. The gossip and chatter of her colleagues at the office still echoed in her ears:
"Have you heard? Chen Xiao from Soubu High School... he... got together with Shizuka-senpai's sister-in-law..."
"Really? Didn't her sister-in-law get married?"
That's why it's so exciting!
Shizuka bit her lower lip, the umbrella handle creaking under her grip. She had to ask her sister-in-law face-to-face why she would do such a thing!
When she arrived at her brother's house, she saw a shocking scene through the window—Sunohara Ikumi and her brother were sitting calmly in the living room, with divorce papers on the table.
"Brother! What's going on?" Shizuka rushed in, raindrops dripping from her hair.
Yu Mei stood up, her expression calm: "Jingxiang, things have come to this point, and I don't want to hide it anymore. Chen Xiao and I are together."
"You...!" Shizuka trembled with anger, turning to her brother, "You just agreed like that?"
Unexpectedly, the older brother lowered his head and apologized, saying, "It's my fault for not being good enough... Yumei has the right to pursue happiness..."
Shizuka could hardly believe her ears. Yumi considerately avoided mentioning her husband's private matters, simply saying softly, "Everyone has the right to start over."
"Ridiculous!" Shizuka slammed the door and rushed out into the torrential rain.
In the dimly lit alley, raindrops splashed on the ground. Shizuka wandered aimlessly when she was suddenly surrounded by several dark figures.
"Miss Sunohara Shizuka?" Shiro Yasuno emerged from the shadows, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with a lewd light. "It's so late, it's dangerous for you to be alone."
"Who are you?" Shizuka retreated warily, but her back pressed against the cold wall.
An Ye's henchman let out a lewd laugh: "Boss, this chick is even hotter than in the photos!"
“Of course, after all, it’s for a ‘special movie’.” Anno licked his lips. “Don’t worry, we’ll film your most alluring moments for your good-for-nothing brother to enjoy…”
"Shameless!" Shizuka raised her hand to strike, but was easily subdued. The rain soaked her shirt, outlining her alluring curves, causing the men to breathe heavily.
Just as Anno's hand was about to touch Shizuka's chest, a cold voice came from the alleyway:
"How do you want to die?"
Chen Xiao's figure gradually became clearer in the rain. His black hair was wet and clung to his forehead, but it did not diminish his handsomeness in the slightest. With each step he took, the puddles on the ground parted automatically, as if making way in reverence.
"Chen Xiao?!" An Ye's expression changed drastically. "Quick! Grab that woman and take her hostage!"
However, his men froze in place the moment they moved—Chen Xiao had merely raised his hand, and time stood still. Raindrops hovered in the air, and only he and Shizuka remained in the world.
Shizuka stared blankly as Chen Xiao strolled over leisurely. With a flick of his finger, the thugs flew out like rag dolls, crashing heavily into the wall.
"It's alright." Chen Xiao took off his coat and draped it over Jingxiang's shoulders, the warmth instantly dispelling the chill.
Time began to flow again, and An Ye was horrified to find that all the people he had brought were lying on the ground, unable to get up. Just as he was about to run away, an invisible force grabbed his throat and lifted him up.
"Spare me... Spare my life..." Anno pleaded with difficulty.
Chen Xiao's eyes were icy: "You have a lot of guts to mess with my woman's family."
"Chen Xiao!" Yu Mei's voice came from the alley entrance, panting as she held up her umbrella. "Is Jingxiang alright?"
Seeing her sister-in-law's worried expression, Jingxiang suddenly felt a lump in her throat. What made her heart race even faster was that Chen Xiao was gently wiping the raindrops from her face, his deep eyes seeming to see right through her soul.
"Th...thank you." Shizuka lowered her head and suddenly noticed that Chen Xiao's body heat and scent still lingered on his coat, making her cheeks burn.
Yumi walked over and gently hugged Shizuka: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
In the alley after the rain, Yu Mei stared intently at Anno Shiro, who was being controlled by Chen Xiao, her voice trembling: "Three years ago... was my best friend's disappearance related to you?"
A flicker of panic crossed An Ye's eyes. He was about to utter a defense when Chen Xiao's Dark Bible power invaded his consciousness. His expression suddenly froze, and his mouth opened uncontrollably.
"It was...it was me...that bitch struggled too much, we went a little too far...in the end she jumped off a building and committed suicide..."
Yumi's face turned deathly pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. Shizuka also covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe the truth she had just heard.
“You beast!” Yu Mei raised her hand to strike, but Chen Xiao gently stopped her.
"Don't dirty your hands." Chen Xiao's voice was as cold as ice. With a flick of his finger, the power released by the Dark Bible instantly engulfed Anno Shiro. Amidst a shrill scream, the demon turned to ashes.
Shizuka stared blankly at the scene.
Logically, she should have felt fear, but for some reason, Chen Xiao's cold and ruthless profile made her heart race. That absolute power, that resolute determination to avenge those she cared about... all of it made it impossible for her to look away.
"Let's go." Chen Xiao put one arm around Yu Mei's shoulder and naturally took Jing Xiang's hand with the other. "Let's go get something to eat."
Shizuka should have shaken off his hand, but the warm touch made her follow him as if possessed.
In the VIP suite of a luxury hotel, a crystal chandelier cast a soft glow. Shizuka sat uncomfortably opposite Chen Xiao, watching his intimate interaction with Yu Mei.
"Shizuka, try this." Yu Mei considerately put some food on her plate. "You've lost weight recently."
Shizuka looked down at the exquisite dish on her plate and suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law...why did you choose him?"
A blush of happiness spread across Yu Mei's face: "When you meet someone who can see through all your pretenses and give you an unprecedented sense of security..." Her gaze met Chen Xiao's, "you'll understand."
Chen Xiao poured Jingxiang a glass of red wine at the opportune moment, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of her hand. Jingxiang recoiled as if electrocuted, but felt a strange tingling sensation spread throughout her body from the point of contact.
After a few rounds of drinks, Jingxiang's cheeks were flushed with a drunken blush. As she got up to go to the restroom, she stumbled and fell into Chen Xiao's arms.
"Be careful." Chen Xiao's deep voice sounded in her ear, his hot breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe. (De Zhao's)
Shizuka looked up and met Chen Xiao's eyes, eyes that seemed to devour her soul. At that moment, she finally understood why her sister-in-law had fallen for him.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the presidential suite, Shizuka was embraced from behind by Chen Xiao. Through the reflection in the glass, she saw Yu Mei kneeling at Chen Xiao's feet, gazing up at him with adoration.
"No...this isn't right..." Shizuka struggled with her last shred of reason, but when Chen Xiao's lips landed on the back of her neck, all resistance turned into a slight tremor.
Five hundred words omitted.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully conquering the hidden character in the world of "Lingru's Reincarnation"—Sunohara Shizuka, and you have received a special system reward:]
The improved version of the "Void Genome" ability from Guilty Crown:
It can extract the "void" within a woman's heart and materialize it into a weapon (without her consent) without any restrictions. The extracted woman's physical sensitivity is increased to the extreme, and she will develop a significant attraction to the man who extracted her. The extracted person will receive the "power of a king"—a 300% increase in physical attributes, and will develop a deep dependence on the host.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. This time the reward was even stronger. Chen Xiao directly reached into Jingxiang's body and a holy sword appeared in his hand.
Shizuka let out a soft moan, her gaze towards Chen Xiao growing even more yearning.
After a long time.
As Shizuka collapsed, utterly exhausted, into Chen Xiao's arms, a faint blue light shimmered at her fingertips—proof that she had been transformed by "the King's power."
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a shooting star suddenly streaked across the Tokyo night sky, as if foreshadowing an even greater storm to come...
Tokyo, Anti-Manin Branch.
Yukikaze looked at the information about the God and Demon City in her hand. "Does infiltrating require becoming a prostitute? But the person I love is Taro." Tears welled in her eyes.
With Chapter 62, Fallen Yukikaze and Rinko, Kill Tatsuro
Tokyo, inside the secret base of the Anti-Demon Ninja.
Xuefeng's slender fingers gripped the infiltration plan for the city of gods and demons tightly.
Tears welled up in her eyes: "Does it have to be this way? Does Taro even agree? After all, even Taro and I have never been intimate, not even kissed."
“This is the only way to get close to Yazaki Souichi.” Rinko placed her hand on Yukikaze’s shoulder, her black bodysuit outlining her lithe figure. “In order to find Shiranui-senpai’s whereabouts, we must infiltrate the ‘Paradise Hall’ at the very heart of the God and Demon City.”
Taro, Rinko's younger brother, a thin young man with tousled blue-purple hair, stood to the side: "Yukikaze, I...I don't mind. As long as you come back safely..."
Xuefeng looked up at his childhood friend who had always secretly loved him, and felt a mix of emotions.
She suddenly remembered what her mother, Shiranui, had once taught her: "Sometimes, the mission of a demon ninja requires sacrificing everything..."
"Three days." Xuefeng wiped away her tears. "Give me three days to consider."
Rinko nodded, her long black hair gleaming coldly under the lights: "I'll go with you. Among the VIP clients of the Paradise Pavilion, there are quite a few high-ranking officials from the God and Demon City."
Taro silently handed over a cup of hot tea.
Meanwhile, in Chiba Prefecture.
Chen Xiao was packing his luggage in his bedroom; he planned to go to Tokyo to deal with his final enemy!
Misako leaned against the door frame, her gaze following his every move with lingering affection.
"Xiao Xiao, why are you suddenly going to Tokyo?" she asked softly, her hands on her apron.
Chen Xiao stopped what he was doing, turned around and hugged his adoptive mother.
Misako's faint fragrance is truly unforgettable, just like when she was first taken in.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be back soon." Chen Xiao kissed her forehead, deliberately letting the scent of the Golden Rule (body) linger around her.
Misako's face flushed instantly, and her legs went weak involuntarily.
As her adoptive mother, she has recently become increasingly unable to resist Chen Xiao's charm, and his image fills her mind every night as she tosses and turns.
"Then...then you have to call me every day..." Misako whispered like a girl in love, then blushed with embarrassment at her lapse in composure.
Chen Xiao chuckled, his fingers brushing across her burning cheek: "Of course. When I get back, I'll have a gift for Mom."
Misako's heart raced; she couldn't imagine what the "gift" he was talking about was.
