He had a general idea in his mind: perhaps the White Tiger Clan was using this curse to indirectly obtain the power of the White Tiger.

As for Kujou Yoshino, she might have been cursed due to various accidents, just like herself.

Another possibility is that she was indeed a member of the White Tiger family, and that she was given this tattoo mark by her elders from birth; but for some reason, she ended up as an orphan and ended up in the island nation, so that she had no idea about her origins when she grew up.

Seeing Chu Jiang begin to undress, Kujo Aino inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

What she feared most was that the man had become sexually frigid, in which case her superior physical attributes would be completely wasted.

"Let me do it." Kujou Yoshino seemed to have regained the initiative. She turned around, spoke in an ambiguous tone, and took the clothes from Chu Jiang's hands.

Chapter 389 The Call of the White Tiger

Chu Jiang turned around and Kujo Aino saw a white tiger coiled up on his back!

This tiger was majestic and menacing, yet it also exuded a chilling and eerie feeling. Its eyes were blood red, and Kujo Aino was immediately intimidated when she saw it. Subsequently, some unusual changes occurred in her.

Before Chu Jiang could say anything, Aino clung to him, somewhat infatuated.

She seemed a little off; she hugged Chu Jiang, gently rubbing her face against his back, appearing very attached...

This made Chu Jiang frown, grab her hand, and forcefully pull her away from him. "What are you doing?"

Kujou Aino did not respond. Her eyes were unfocused, and white marks with black patterns reappeared on her body. After the marks were formed, a white light suddenly rushed towards her!

Chu Jiang immediately used his black flames to block it, but at the same moment, the White Tiger Card that he had previously put away shattered automatically, and the energy inside turned into a beam of white light that shot out from his left hand and merged with the white light outside.

The two collided and shot out at incredible speed! The white light bypassed Chu Jiang's obstruction and entered the tattoo on Chu Jiang's back.

Chu Jiang's expression changed. He felt a heat rising in his back and immediately used his time restart ability.

But for some reason, although time rewound a few seconds, the combined white light did not leave his body.

Soon, Chu Jiang felt his back go from warm to burning hot, as if something had been activated.

From a super-sensory perspective, Chu Jiang could see the white tiger behind him, which seemed to have "come alive" and was even shaking its fur.

As the White Tiger became fully active, Chu Jiang sensed a direction in the darkness. He looked west in disbelief; he could perceive a presence that felt "familiar" to him, which was entrenched in that location.

It is calling to itself to find it, to itself to liberate it...

After the white light shot out from her body, Kujo Yoshino returned to normal.

She took a few steps back in a panic, because she had no idea what had happened and was even more terrified that she had just done something out of control.

......

It took Chu Jiang about ten minutes to figure out what had happened to him.

First of all, he really wanted to drag that damned white tiger ghost out and beat it up, because it had tricked Chu Jiang.

In short, Aino, who possesses the power of the White Tiger, seems to have been remotely controlled by the White Tiger itself after seeing the White Tiger aura on her body.

Then, the White Tiger manipulated Aino and the White Tiger Card, combining their powers to activate the curse on its body.

This curse had been in a semi-dormant state for a long time; but now it has fully awakened and brought Chu Jiang both a benefit and a harm.

The advantage is that Chu Jiang will no longer need to rely on cards to use the [Chang Gui] ability, and like Kujou Yoshino, he can freely control whether the tattoo appears.

The downside is that Chu Jiang can now not only sense the location of the White Tiger's true form, but also feels an urge to go and find it and rescue it.

Chu Jiang can currently control this impulse.

However, he had a premonition that this impulse would grow stronger over time; in the end, Chu Jiang would probably become desperate to find Bai Hu.

This was a real headache for Chu Jiang. Fortunately, his impulses were building up slowly, and he estimated that it would last for three to five months. Otherwise, he would probably have to take a plane overnight to rush back and beat the other party up.

.......

Kujo Aino had been silent for a long time. She sat quietly to the side, looking somewhat helpless and scared, but she didn't dare to run away. She just looked at the man in front of her and tried out various tattoos.

Chu Jiang took a deep breath and said in a commanding tone, "Come here."

Kujou Yoshino obediently got up, lowered her head, and took small, quick steps closer.

“Look up and into my eyes.”

Kujo Aino bit her lip, not daring to refuse. Almost the instant she met Chu Jiang's eyes, that dreamy look returned to her.

"who am I?"

"It's the master."

"Then, whatever I ask next, you answer."

"it is good."

After the changes just now, it seemed that Kujou Yoshino could no longer resist Chu Jiang using his ability on her; because the white tiger power on Chu Jiang was now clearly much stronger than the power on Yoshino.

"Tell me about your background and your relationship with the Kujo family."

Kujou Yoshino recounted the events in detail, which were largely the same as what had been explained earlier, but with some changes in the details.

For example, she was indeed adopted by the Kujo family, but not only as a tool to please men, but also to be trained as a ninja, spy, and assassin.

Given Kujo Yoshino's special "talent," the Kujo family's task for her this time is to try to hypnotize Chujiang at all costs, so that Chujiang can gradually become a puppet controlled by the Kujo family.

Furthermore, Kujo Yoshii was also worried about being exposed too quickly. He told Kujo Aino not to rush things and to only make a move when she was completely confident, preferably when the opponent was completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, the Kujo family was also prepared to sever ties with Kujo Yoshino; once Yoshino's side was exposed, they would ruthlessly discard this pawn, and even divert the trouble to the Soga family.

Currently, among the three founding families, the Soga family is the most powerful. The Kujo family has always wanted to gain greater influence within the Seireitei and even throughout Japan.

Overall, this was within Chu Jiang's expectations.

He then asked Kujo Yoshino if the Kujo family's true goal was to control him. Besides this "honey trap," what other methods did they have in mind?

Aino said she didn't know the higher-ups' true intentions, but there would definitely be other methods, because given the head of the family's personality, it was impossible for him to only prepare one path.

Chu Jiang guessed that was also true. When he said he would go and get the Ghost Mirror overnight, Kujo Yoshii clearly tried to back down, which meant that the real killing move was not yet fully prepared.

Finally, Chu Jiang asked for some other information, but Kujo Aino knew only a limited amount. After all, in the eyes of the Kujo family, she was just a tool, and tools are not entitled to know too much.

Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang released his control over Kujo Aino. After Aino regained consciousness, her eyes first showed a look of fear.

But a few seconds later, instead of retreating, she advanced.

Kujo Aino stepped forward and hugged Chujiang, large tears quickly sliding down her cheeks. "Lord Chujiang, please save me! I have no choice; if I don't do this, the Kujo family will kill me."

"Now that I've told you all the secrets, if the Kujo family finds out, my fate will be worse than death."

"Then commit suicide now," Chu Jiang said expressionlessly.

Kujou Yoshino was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head vigorously, "I don't want to die..."

Chapter 390 Offering Up a Head

Looking at the tearful girl clinging to him, Chu Jiang remained calm. "Have you received any training? You can cry in three seconds. It's a shame you're not an actor."

Kujou Yoshino did not deny that she was not so easily mentally broken; she was simply choosing the course of action that would be most beneficial to her survival based on the situation.

“Aino still has value; I can help you punish the Kujo family.”

“No, your value doesn’t lie in that. I’m more interested in your background.” Chu Jiang said, patting her hand. “Let go.”

Kujou Aino obediently let go and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Let me ask you a question: If I wiped out the Kujo family, what would your country, or rather the Seireitei, do?"

Hearing Chu Jiang casually mention this, Kujo Aino felt a chill run down her spine, a sense of disbelief washing over her.

"I... I don't know, but I think their reaction will be very strong. After all, this is one of the three great families, and it involves the interests of many people, not just one family."

“If you really kill everyone in the Kujo family, then even the Soga and Uesugi families will not be able to stand idly by. This will even be seen as a declaration of war by hostile forces.”

"Even if the cause was the Kujo family's fault?" Chu Jiang asked again.

“Yes, even if the Kujo family is to blame, I suggest that Lord Chujiang need not go to such extremes. Let them apologize to you and pay the price,” Kujo Aino said cautiously.

However, Chu Jiang shook his head, "Those who dare to mess with me never have a good ending. And I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately; at least those decision-makers must die."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang made a direct call to Soga Sayuki. The reason he didn't call the Uesugi family was because neither Hinagiku nor Kazuya were people who held the power in the family.

After listening to Chu Jiang's story, Zao Xue calmly said, "The matter of Gui Yuan is more important. How about this? When Captain Chu returns victorious, I will accompany you to the Kujo family to present Kujo Yoshii's head."

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised; this was much more decisive than he had imagined. Could it be that the Soga family was also planning to take action against the Kujo family soon?

"I must do it myself."

“No problem,” Soga Hayashi agreed.

Chu Jiang quickly understood the crux of the matter: as long as they went to the Kujo family to kill someone, no matter what the outcome, to outsiders it would appear that the Soga family was using outside help to eliminate their rivals.

While this may seem unscrupulous, it is ultimately an internal struggle within an island nation.

However, if Chu Jiang were allowed to storm the Kujo family alone, they might be forced to stand against him due to pressure from various parties within the country, even if it was completely against their interests.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang shook his head, "What if I fail to defeat Ghost Abyss?"

"That's right. Hayashi just hopes that Captain Chu can focus on Onibuchi. As for the Kujo family, they're nothing but clowns."

"Since they are so tactless as to dare to make such a wicked move against the distinguished guests of Seireitei, then the selection of the three great families might as well be changed. There are quite a few people eyeing this position."

These words can be seen as Soga Hayayuki representing the official forces to give Chu Jiang, this guest, an explanation.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Tomorrow I'll proceed according to the original plan." Chu Jiang accepted the proposal.

"Okay, I wish you great success."

Because Chu Jiang didn't deliberately hide it from Kujo Aino, Aino could easily overhear the conversation, and the two of them decided the fate of the Kujo family in just a few words.

This left her somewhat stunned. To her, the Kujo family seemed like an invincible behemoth, one that had even determined the fate of her early life...

“Don’t be surprised,” Chu Jiang said calmly. “Don’t be fooled by that Kujo Yoshii’s eloquent speech. In fact, even he himself doesn’t realize that we are now in an era where great power belongs to individuals.”

"Or perhaps he was confident that he could withstand my counterattack and successfully control me, which is why he devised this plan."

"Since both sides are so confident, let's see who emerges victorious in the end..."

After saying that, Chu Jiang picked up his clothes, seemingly planning to take a shower and go to bed.
