Chapter 387 A Beauty as a Gift?

Kujo Yoshii said in a serious tone, "It is an image scanned from our family's ancient books and then restored using modern technology. It should have more than 90% similarity to the original, otherwise Captain Chu would not have been able to recognize it at a glance."

Chu Jiang nodded. "How about you take me there now?"

Kujo Yoshii paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "There's no need to rush. How about tomorrow morning? We don't necessarily have to be in such a hurry to go to Oni-Abyss. We can postpone it for a day or two and make preparations first."

After saying that, he gestured to the geisha woman with his eyes, "This is our Kujo family's daughter (hakoiri-ni-ko), or in your Kyushu terms, she's the apple of your eye."

"How about letting her serve you here tonight? Aino, introduce yourself to Captain Chu."

The beautiful woman dressed in a black geisha outfit first bowed to Chu Jiang with her hands placed on her forehead, and then said in a soft and charming voice, "I am Kujo Aino, and I hope Mr. Chu will take pity on me tonight."

Chu Jiang glanced at her, then at the others.

Kujou Yoshino seemed to have no dissatisfaction, her expression was just docile.

Kujo Yoshii looked very attentive, while the other high-ranking members of the Kujo family seemed puzzled as to why their patriarch was making such a sacrifice.

Kujo Kazuki remained expressionless, simply drinking his strong liquor alone.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "Alright, since Mr. Kujo is so enthusiastic, I won't refuse anymore. You should all leave and not be third wheels here."

Kujo Yoshii paused for a moment before standing up and saying, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you two any longer. Let's go back."

And so, the group left completely. Yamashita, who was initially resentful and wanted to do something underhanded, was silenced by a cold glare from Kujo Kazuki. He quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and strode away.

......

Looking at the empty living room, Chu Jiang stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling windows to admire the Tokyo night view. Countless lights adorned the modern buildings of varying heights, creating a dreamlike scene.

Kujo Aino waited in place for a while, and seeing that Chu Jiang showed no intention of moving, she put on her electronic earpiece, got up and carefully walked over.

She reached out and hugged Chu Jiang from behind.

With their bodies pressed close together, Chu Jiang could feel not only the warmth but also the slightly faster heartbeat of the other man.

However, he simply asked expressionlessly, "Are you really from the Kujo family?"

“She was adopted,” Aino answered softly.

“When I was seven years old, I was adopted by the Kujo family and have been receiving lessons in various dances, musical instruments, songs, calligraphy, tea ceremony, and even bowing and pouring wine ever since.”

“There are at least a hundred women who have had the same experience as me, and I am the best among them.”

"So there's nothing dramatic between you and that Kujo Kazuki, right?"

Kujou Yoshino listened to the translation in her earpiece and paused for a moment. "No, to be honest, he only looks like a human on the surface, but inside he's no different from a demon."

"Someone like him is no longer moved by the beauty of women in this world. In his eyes, I am just a lump of flesh that can be devoured."

"Then what makes you think I still have normal sexual function?" Chu Jiang asked without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

Kujo Aino seemed prepared for this question. "Our head of the family knows about the family behind Mr. Chu and knows that you can have children and continue the family line normally from generation to generation."

"Moreover, judging from Mr. Chu's behavior toward that girl from the Uesugi family these past two days, it can be inferred that you have normal male desires."

Chu Jiang hadn't expected this later on.

Looking back now, his attitude towards Hinagiku Uesugi was indeed different from how he treated others.

However, it was more the vibrant energy of the daisy that attracted him.

Chu Jiang was like a gradually cooling corpse. He liked to be around people who could infect others with their enthusiasm, which made him feel like he was still alive.

As for real physical desires, sorry, so far, only Belfast has made Chu Jiang feel like he's still a man.

If that's the case, then why is Chu Jiang staying tonight?

It's very simple. He suspects that the Kujo family not only prepared a trap within their family shrine, but that the woman herself is also part of the trap.

Now it's time to reveal the answer and see if Chu Jiang guessed right or wrong.

In Chu Jiang's left hand, a card depicting a white tiger appeared silently; then, with his right hand, he grasped Kujo Aino's hand and quietly placed a mark on her without any warning.

Alright, the prerequisites have been met, Chu Jiang suddenly turned around! Staring into the eyes of this alluring woman, he activated the [Chang Gui] ability.

In that instant, Kujou Yoshino saw Chu Jiang's eyes turn blood red, and the more she looked, the more she was drawn into them...

Suddenly! Kujo Aino's body trembled, and white marks with black lines appeared uncontrollably on her body. She struggled desperately, shook off Chu Jiang's hand, and stumbled backward.

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised to see that he had actually broken free from the restraints of the [Chang Gui].

It should be noted that although Chu Jiang borrowed power through the White Tiger Card, it was certainly no match for the White Tiger Ghost himself.

However, he had used this ability to successfully control the vengeful spirit inside Li Xiangtian, the leader of the Ghost Hunters Association; now dealing with humans should be even easier, but unexpectedly he failed.

Of course, this also confirmed Chu Jiang's guess from another perspective: this woman was indeed not simple; she possessed a strong supernatural power.

However, Chu Jiang couldn't understand the patterns that appeared on the other party's body. Why did they look somewhat similar to the White Tiger?

As Kujou Yoshino retreated, she looked at Chu Jiang with a face full of astonishment and panic. "You, you, how do you possess such power!"

As he watched the marks on the other person gradually fade away, Chu Jiang suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly. "You also possess the same source of power? Is that why you were able to resist the White Tiger and resist becoming a cougar under my control?"

"Well, I didn't expect the Kujo family and the Byakko family to have such a deep-seated cooperation. Let me guess, is Bai Congwu and Kujo Yoshii joining forces to deal with me this time?"

Kujo Aino shook her head repeatedly, her brows furrowed, and she bit her lip. "I don't understand what you're saying. What is the White Tiger Clan? And who is Bai Congwu?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that the situation was getting out of control and had deviated greatly from the original script.

Therefore, Kujo Aino immediately tugged at her clothes, trying to regain her composure. "Excuse me, Mr. Chu, please don't use supernatural powers to control me. Tonight, I am your most obedient pet; I will do whatever you ask."

Chapter 388 Tattoo

Seeing the person in front of him pretending nothing had happened, Chu Jiang couldn't help but shake his head. "You didn't tell me before that you were a Ghost Master."

Kujou Yoshino looked like she was about to cry. "Yoshino is innocent too. I was originally an ordinary person, but the Kujou family forced me to become an Onmyoji."

"Even so, Aino truly wants to serve Lord Chujiang."

"Really? Are you sure you're not trying to use the White Tiger's power on me during our intimate moments? Are you trying to hypnotize or control me?"

Although Chu Jiang did not fully understand the power of the White Tiger, one of the most important aspects was its control.

This is different from the domination of the Ghost Bride, which is to forcibly control your body to do things for me; the White Tiger's control is more like changing the target's perception, making the target willingly obey his commands.

What's even more peculiar is that the ghost master of the White Tiger family seems to have used some special method to borrow the power of this S-rank vengeful ghost, similar to how Chu Jiang borrowed the power of the card.

Therefore, more than one person in their family possesses this ability. Bai Congwu has this power; and Aina in front of them should also have a similar power.

However, since this doesn't accommodate the ghost, their potential cannot be compared to the Chu-Zui lineage's model.

Chu Jiang's words made Kujo Aino's expression stiffen for a moment.

She still can't understand why the other person possesses abilities originating from the same source as her. Isn't this her innate "talent"?

"Mr. Chu, you've misunderstood. I would never do such a thing to a distinguished guest of the Kujo family." Kujo Aino's words sounded utterly weak and powerless at this moment.

Of course, Chu Jiang didn't have any concrete evidence, because the other party hadn't even had a chance to take action yet; everything was still at the planning stage.

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t need your approval.” He stepped forward.

"Come on, don't resist, and don't think about asking for help. Just cooperate with me, and you'll suffer less."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang unleashed his ghost domain, completely enveloping the presidential suite.

Kujou Yoshino was slightly startled. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not offer any resistance.

She knew very well that Chu Jiang was so powerful that he could seal two S-rank vengeful ghosts in succession, and that she was definitely not someone she could fight against. If she were to unleash his ferocity, she might even die a gruesome death.

Having determined her course of action, Kujou Yoshino managed to calm herself down. She looked at Chu Jiang with innocent eyes and began to undress...

"Mr. Chu, please don't hurt me. I will behave."

As she took off all her outer clothing, Chu Jiang grasped her hand. "Don't move."

Although Chu Jiang's tone remained unchanged, Kujou Aino instinctively trembled and obediently stopped what she was doing.

Chu Jiang first used his extrasensory perception, combined with the abilities of the Ghost Domain, to thoroughly examine the woman's body from the inside out.

She is indeed a demon master; her demon resides deep within the blue dragon tattoo on her back. As for its type, that remains unknown until Kujo Yoshino actively uses her ability.

At the same time, Chu Jiang also discovered another very strange thing: there was another tattoo under Aino's blue dragon tattoo, but it was hidden in her flesh and blood and could not be easily seen with the naked eye.

The shape of this tattoo... is a lifelike white tiger!

Looking at the incredibly lifelike tattoo, Chu Jiang was somewhat incredulous. He muttered to himself, "White Tiger Demon, why do you have one too?"

With her back to Chu Jiang, Kujo Aino was a little nervous. "Mr. Chu, I don't understand what you're saying. This tattoo has been on me since I can remember."

"It did give me some special powers, but I never intended to use them against you."

As she spoke, Aino revealed her white tiger tattoo, which completely overshadowed the blue dragon tattoo.

“At first I couldn’t control it and was disliked and bullied by the other children in the orphanage; it was only after I grew up that I learned to control its power and hide it.”

"After I was adopted by the Kujo family, they learned about my special talent and found me a demon that was also related to tattoos..."

Chu Jiang frowned slightly upon hearing this. "You're really not from the White Tiger Clan?"

Kujo Yoshino said in a helpless tone, "I really don't know if this family is a demon master family in Kyushu? Maybe the higher-ups in the Kujo family know, but they haven't told me any information."

Although Aino's tone suggested she wasn't lying, Chu Jiang didn't trust her.

Since Kujou Yoshino can resist the [Changu], then what about using memetic infection?

However, Chu Jiang has never used this ability on a living person before, so he doesn't know if it will leave any aftereffects after corrupting a living person...

Seeing Chu Jiang remain silent, Kujo Aino worried that he might resort to some terrible methods, so she quickly said, "What I said is true. You can easily find out my background, including which orphanage I grew up in, by asking the Uesugi or Soga families for help."

Chu Jiang thought about it and agreed. It was something that could be found out in half an hour with a phone call, so Kujo Aino probably wouldn't lie.

So how could Kujou Yoshino possess the White Tiger Curse from a young age? Was she cursed since childhood?

More importantly, Chu Jiang still didn't know how this curse had affected him, and even asking the old man yielded no results.

What's even more absurd now is that Aino is clearly cursed, yet she can borrow the power of that curse? Does that mean I can do the same thing?

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang began to take off his shirt.
