He pressed his forehead against Erii's, his wings fluttering, hovering above the sea of clouds, reaching out to gently stroke the girl's cheek, and lowering his head to capture a touch of warm softness.
They answered each other's questions, pledged their lives to each other, and neither of them ever thought of backing down.
"Long time no see, old friend."
Below the bay, the boy, naked, climbed onto the rocks, cradling a huge embryo in his arms. A chill emanated from the embryo, but it did not harm his body.
"I originally planned to send you to the Arctic Ocean to recover without anyone noticing, but I didn't expect Xia Mu to interfere and leave a mark."
The boy sat down on the rock and gently stroked the surface of the embryo, his eyes filled with a tenderness as if he were looking at a pet he had raised for many years.
"I can't erase his mark either..."
He shook his head helplessly. "But we can still send you to the Arctic Ocean, where you can recover as quickly as possible, at least until you're strong enough to resist his attempts to take you back..."
Wow, boss, you're being so generous today?
Su Enxi emerged from behind the rocks with an umbrella, shielding him from the wind and rain. "Long Legs was injected with the serum and has fallen asleep."
The boy nodded: "You came to see me without having showered; you don't smell as nice."
"Why should I wash up to see you!" Su Enxi complained, tilting her head and muttering, "Besides, it's too late to say anything..."
The boy stroked the embryo, sitting calmly with a distant gaze.
After a while, Su Enxi couldn't help but ask, "Should we try to save Lu Mingfei? The branch has betrayed us, and Tokyo is not safe for them right now."
“No need, Xia Mu will do it,” the boy said softly. “Although I’m reluctant to let the other two guys be taken back by him, I’m really not his enemy.”
"Then we can relax and enjoy a good vacation." Su Enxi stretched.
“With Xia Mu here, there’s no need to worry about Bai Wang’s affairs. Let him handle it himself,” the boy smiled. “However, this is the last vacation I’m giving Lu Mingfei, so you guys should still work hard.”
Su Enxi showed no surprise, and sighed dramatically, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy... What do we have to do?"
The boy looked at the dim sky and the sea and said softly, "Let our chosen one, Lu Mingfei, have a wonderful memory. Perhaps arranging some beautiful encounters for him is a good idea."
Su Enxi's pretty face looked strange: "Won't the princess beat you if she finds out?"
"Uh…"
The boy scratched his head. "I forgot, she and Lu Mingfei got together..."
“Then…” he thought for a moment, then clapped his hands, “Let’s get a one-night stand!”
Su Enxi stared in disbelief: "The princess will kill you!"
The boy swung his legs back and forth, muttering, "Who told her to like someone else? Humph..."
"Lu Mingfei is practically your own son, how can he be considered anyone else?"
"Calculate!"
Chapter 283 After all, it's his own brother
"The Sheqi family will always remember this help."
Yuan Zhisheng raised his glass to Xia Mu, his expression sincere.
The two sat facing each other in the Japanese-style room, with several small dishes and many bottles of sake on the table.
"I did it for Erii, not because I wanted to help you." Natsuki downed his drink in one gulp.
Genjiro put down his wine glass and smiled: "Whatever your purpose is, you have won the friendship of the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"Don't you think something's a little strange? Why did Erii suddenly fall into the water?" Natsuki picked up a slice of sashimi, dipped it in sauce, and put it in his mouth.
Yuan Zhisheng's quicksword stopped in mid-air: "I don't understand either. What did you discover?"
Xia Mu glanced around: "Are there any security cameras?"
"Princess Kaguya, leave this place." Genji gave him a deep look and called out.
"Yes, this room is now outside my surveillance," Kaguya's voice rang out.
“That’s fine,” said Genjiro.
Xia Mu nodded and said in a low voice, "Eri later told me that a strange clapper sounded, and she felt a splitting headache. She was like a completely different person, becoming extremely weak and unable to use any strength."
"A clapper sound? A splitting headache? A change in personality?" Genji was shocked. "Is someone plotting this behind the scenes?!"
Xia Mu looked at him with a meaningful gaze: "Besides myself, Caesar, Chu Zihanglu, and Mingfei, the only people present are from your Snake Clan. Caesar and the other two are at the bottom of the sea, so I can't possibly harm Erii. That leaves only your people."
Genji frowned: "Could it be an invasion by the Mighty Demons?"
"Oh…"
Xia Mu sneered and handed over the phone, "Take a look at this photo first."
Yuan Zhisheng took it without explanation, then his expression changed: "Corpse Guardian!"
"Take a closer look at where this was taken, and the date watermark. See what day it is," Xia Mu reminded him.
Upon being reminded, Genji's pupils immediately constricted: "Genji Heavy Industries...the date is...your first day!"
Natsuki nodded: "Yes, when I reached the last checkpoint on Erii's floor, the entire floor was filled with corpse guards waiting for me."
Yuan Zhisheng's hands were trembling slightly, and his face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
How many people could orchestrate a zombie attack within Genji Heavy Industries? How many could secretly cultivate and control zombies?
Several names flashed through his mind, but after eliminating them one by one, he could only focus on the person he least wanted to suspect.
"No...impossible..."
Yuan Zhisheng's lips trembled, his face was gloomy and dark, like a silly tortoise that had been abandoned.
"boom!"
He suddenly smashed the low table, scattering dishes and bottles into pieces all over the floor.
Xia Mu jumped back in time to avoid being hit.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
He rushed up and grabbed Yuan Zhisheng, pulling him back from the doorway.
"What are you doing! I'm going to ask him!" Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were bloodshot and bulging.
He always regarded Tachibana Masamune as his father, so he took Masamune's righteousness as his own and was willing to bear these heavy responsibilities himself so that Masamune would not be lonely.
And what happened? Did I get scammed?!
He's keeping corpses as guards!
He attacked Erii!
He wasn't as righteous and awe-inspiring as he claimed!
The anger in Yuan Zhisheng's chest almost boiled over, and flames of fury rose from his eyes, as if to burn the whole world to ashes.
“You won’t get any results if you go to him now, and I also want to remind you of something else,” Xia Mu said calmly, looking at him.
"You mean, he definitely won't admit it?" Yuan Zhisheng's intelligence had recovered somewhat.
"Not only will he not admit it, but he will also give you extremely reasonable explanations, portraying himself as a great father who has endured humiliation and hardship. Even if you still feel that he has done wrong, you will choose to believe him for the time being."
Xia Mu said softly, "Because deep down you don't want to accept this fact either, you hope he will make up a lie to deceive you."
Yuan Zhisheng shuddered, his eyes glazed over: "Is...is that so..."
"Also, Erii has suddenly become extremely weak. Don't you think something similar has happened before?" Natsuki reminded her.
"Suddenly developed an extremely weak personality..."
Yuan Zhisheng was a little confused, feeling as if there was a deep whirlpool in front of him, pulling him step by step into it and into its depths.
"The sound of the clapper... a changing personality..."
The pain that had been hidden in his heart for many years was slowly revealed, and his memory returned to that heart-wrenching day when he personally executed his own younger brother...
"The sound of a clapper..."
Yuan Zhisheng's eyes became somewhat frightening, somewhat vulnerable, and somewhat terrified.
"During that time... I heard the sound of a wooden clapper..."
His body trembled uncontrollably, like a sieve shaking.
With a thud, Genji collapsed onto the tatami mat, his eyes vacant and lifeless.
Xia Mu leisurely sipped his wine, watching the fallen leaves drift outside the window and land on the wooden table. His gaze lingered there, tracing the veins of the leaves.
"Children...female..."
Yuan Zhisheng's hoarse, low growls sounded like a wounded little beast hiding in a corner, afraid to face the outside world, and even more afraid to face himself.
Xia Mu glanced at him, then realized that offering comfort was inappropriate, so she went outside and waved to Sakura, the female ninja standing in the shadows of the porch.
“Mr. Xia.” Sakura emerged from the shadows.
Xia Mu pointed inside the door and lowered his voice, saying, "He has suffered a great blow. Only you can help him, but don't let him see Tachibana Masamune. Trust me this once."
Sakura's expression changed drastically. She took two quick steps but then stopped, turned back to Natsuki, and whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Xia Mu waved his hand, smiling, "After all, he's my own brother!"
puff.
Despite being extremely worried about Genjiro, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Go check on your Yiyi, she seems to have suddenly become interested in kimonos and is struggling to choose one."
Sakura went inside, and the smile on her lips vanished completely the moment she saw Genjiro.
"what happened to you?"
She knelt down abruptly and hugged his curled-up body tightly. Only then did she realize that the usually strong and upright man was trembling all over and his skin was ice-cold.
"I…"
A hoarse voice murmured softly in her arms.
"I killed the wrong person... I might have killed the wrong person..."
