One of these two is the leader of the "Fierce Demon Clan," known as the King General; the other is the codenamed "Dragon King," Genji.

The proprietress here is named Sakurai Kogure, the third-in-command of the "Fierce Demon Clan," codenamed "Ryoma."

Sakurai Kogure personally led them up to the fourth floor.

There, a dozen or so "ghosts" had been waiting for a long time. Their expressions varied, but they all revealed a firm determination.

Wang began to speak: "Gentlemen, we are all people abandoned by our own clan. They no longer treat us as family, leaving us to live in the shadows and become targets for our own forces to hunt down."

His words, filled with grief and helplessness, immediately resonated with everyone present.

This "ghost," who has witnessed seventy years of vicissitudes, is adept at manipulating people's hearts.

Seeing the anger and sorrow on everyone's faces, he continued, "However, now, we have finally waited for the perfect opportunity."

"The head of the Uesugi family of the Snake-Headed Eight Clans, with high-purity dragon blood flowing through her veins, has always been a powerful secret weapon against us."

These words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing the dark night sky and igniting the flame of hope in everyone's heart.

"But now, the Serpent Clan has lost her. If we can find her first, we can begin the path of evolution, become true dragons, and possess unparalleled power."

The king said seductively

"Once we find her, we can take control of our own destiny and live in the sunlight."

These words seemed to ignite a flame of hope in people's hearts. In an instant, the room was filled with cheers, and emotions soared like a burning fire.

Everyone was infected by this enthusiasm, their eyes shining with determination and resolve.

"Gentlemen, for our future, please do your utmost to find the head of the Uesugi family." His voice was full of strength and conviction, making everyone feel the heavy weight of responsibility.

"はい" (yes)

Everyone nodded in agreement, their voices coalescing into a powerful torrent, as if trying to break through all obstacles.

Then, the group quickly departed, like a pack of hungry cheetahs, eager to pursue their target.

They gathered their men, prepared their weapons and equipment, and embarked on their journey to find the head of the Uesugi family.

Genjiro, however, remained remarkably calm, seemingly unaffected by his surroundings.

He leisurely found a chair and sat down, like an elegant gentleman, while Sakurai Kogure naturally stood behind him and gently massaged Genji.

The king watched this scene silently, his gaze deep and complex, as if he were pondering something important.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Aren't you going to find your hope of evolving into a dragon?" Genji suddenly asked. His tone was very casual, but it contained a deep sense of sarcasm.

The king stopped, glanced back at Genji, and then silently continued on his way.

His figure disappeared through the doorway, leaving Genji and Sakurai Kogure in the silent room.

Chapter 36 An unexpected encounter with Uesugi Koshi

For a moment, only Genjiro and Sakurai Kogure remained in the room.

"You know, Kogure, sometimes I feel like killing him," Genji said in a low voice.

Sakurai Kogure, of course, knew that "he" referred to the King, the man who had brought endless pain to Minamoto no Witch.

For Genjiro, the King was not only an enemy, but also a persistent nightmare in her heart.

"You won't betray me, right?" Genji turned her head and gazed at Sakurai Kogure, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

“No, I am yours,” Sakurai Kogure answered without hesitation. Her gaze was firm and gentle, as if conveying an unwavering loyalty to Minamoto no Wakana.

Sakurai Kogure slowly approached Genji, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind, their bodies pressed tightly together.

She lowered her head slightly, gently bit Yuan Zhinv's earlobe, and whispered, "I will always be with you, no matter what happens."

Genji raised her head and kissed Sakurai Kogure's bright red lips.

This action was completely different from his usual elegant image; it was more like a long-suppressed emotion being released at this moment.

Sakurai Kogure closed her eyes, silently enduring it all, letting her body melt into Genji's embrace.

……

The next morning,

Sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.

Lin Yu and Erii got up early, ready to go out for a stroll.

They walked hand in hand down the street, enjoying the fresh morning air and warm sunshine.

As they passed a university, Lin Yu suddenly stopped, his gaze drawn to a familiar figure.

It was a ramen stall. The ramen vendor was dressed in simple clothes, and his face was beaming with a kind and friendly smile.

But upon closer inspection, Lin Yu could sense a high proportion of dragon blood in him; he was none other than the previous patriarch of the Snake Clan—"Shadow Emperor" Uesugi Kotsugi.

The same image Lin Yu had seen in his previous life

Is this fate? What a coincidence!

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation, he grabbed Erii and headed towards the ramen stall.

“Let’s go, Erii, let’s go have breakfast together,” he said gently, then turned to Uesugi Koshi and said, “Master, please give us two bowls of ramen, with braised eggs and char siu.”

Uesugi Etsu responded, raised his head, and his gaze fell on the two of them.

When his gaze fell upon Erii, Uesugi Koshi suddenly froze, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

He couldn't help but ask, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Erii gently shook her head, her gaze remaining fixed on Lin Yu beside her.

"Good girl!" Lin Yu affectionately reached out and gently ruffled Erii's hair.

He found himself gradually growing to like the feeling of being with Erii.

"Master Yue, can you hurry up and bring it up? We haven't had breakfast yet!" Lin Yu urged.

However, these words caused the head of the Uesugi family to tense up instantly. He stared at Lin Yu warily and questioned him in a low voice, "How do you know my name? Who sent you? The Snake-Headed Eight Family?"

Seeing Uesugi's nervous expression, Lin Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just came to eat noodles."

Uesugi Kotsugi's face clearly showed disbelief.

"Can we finish our meal first?" Lin Yu said helplessly, not in a hurry.

"Okay! Finish your meal and leave quickly, you're not welcome here."

Uesugi Echigo said that he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he, the "Emperor," actually felt threatened by the two of them.

"Let me tell you the truth later, and see if you still say that," Lin Yu thought to himself.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were brought over.

Looks pretty good; no wonder he's a "master chef" who's been making ramen for fifty years.

Erii ate with great concentration, as if she were eating the finest delicacies.

For Erii, this must be the taste of "family love"!

"Speak, what exactly is your purpose in coming here?" Uesugi Kotsuki sat down opposite Lin Yu.

"I've met the former head of the Snake Clan," Lin Yu said.

“It’s all in the past, why bring it up again?” Uesugi Koshi said, frowning.

"Alright, let's change the subject. Do you know who the current head of the Snake Clan is—Genjiro? The new 'Emperor' after you?"

Lin Yu looked at the other party and said

Chapter 37 Conversation with Uesugi Koshi (Part 1)

"A new 'Emperor'? Or from the Minamoto family?" Uesugi Etsu's face showed a hint of disdain and mockery. "These guys are really going too far. They actually dare to just randomly pick a child from one of the lower five families and adopt him into one of the upper three families, and then they dare to call themselves 'Emperors'?"

Lin Yu coughed lightly, cautiously hinting, "Is it possible that Genjiro is actually a descendant of one of the three upper families?"

Uesugi Koshi replied firmly, "That's absolutely impossible! Apart from me, the three upper families have all been wiped out!"

Lin Yu's gaze was sharp as he stared directly at Uesugi Yue, and he slowly said, "Perhaps... he is the continuation of your bloodline!"

Uesugi Koshi frowned and asked suspiciously, "Kid, what exactly are you trying to say? Could it be...?"

Lin Yu nodded firmly, his tone resolute: "That's right, the current 'Emperor' is your own flesh and blood."

Uesugi Koshi's eyes widened, and he retorted incredulously, "That's impossible! How could I possibly have a son? I had no idea myself!"

Lin Yu calmly explained, "Because only the bloodlines of the three upper families can produce an 'Emperor,' and as the last descendant of the three upper families, shouldn't you carefully consider this possibility?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and said

"Could it be..." Lin Yu noticed Uesugi's expression change and assumed he had guessed, but the next sentence instantly made Lin Yu realize he had overestimated the other man's intelligence.

"Could it be Naoko? Or Aya? It can't be Haruaki, the ages don't match!"

Lin Yu was speechless upon hearing this.

"No, to be precise, he wasn't born to you or any of the women you just mentioned," Lin Yu replied calmly, looking at Uesugi Yue.

"Boy, are you making fun of me?" Uesugi Yue's gaze turned hostile, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

"Ahem... I wonder if you remember, senior, that you donated blood once in the 1940s for research purposes?" Lin Yu coughed twice and continued to prompt him.

"You mean, with just that little bit of blood, a child was born for me?" Uesugi Yue stared at Lin Yu with disbelief in his eyes.

"Of course, they extracted your DNA and used it in test tubes to create a DNA sample," Lin Yu nodded, explaining.

For a moment, Uesugi Kotsushi was at a loss for words, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

"Is he... doing alright?" After a long silence, Uesugi Kotsushi asked in a low voice.

"Which one are you asking about?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"Which one...? What the hell? Do I have more than one child?" Uesugi Kotsushi stared wide-eyed at Lin Yu in disbelief.

"Of course, you have three," Lin Yu held up three fingers and waved them in front of Uesugi Kotsushi, answering confidently.

"Three"

The head of the Uesugi family felt like he was going to go crazy.
