I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

“No need, I can walk by myself.” Kong Yinzi shook her head.

"Hmm... So, can you tell me what that angel said to you?" Luo Feng sniffed and chuckled, "What an unpleasant smell. Holy light and all that, it's too dirty, isn't it?"

“An angel…” Sora Ginko’s pupils contracted slightly: “What do you think she’ll say to me?”

"I guess she'll reveal my identity and then tell you not to do business with me, right?" Luo Feng said softly. "Angels and such have no real abilities. They can't give you the talents I can give you by breaking the rules, so they can only use this method to make you give up."

"Is there anything wrong with what she said?" Sora Ginko clenched her little fists. "If I make a deal with a devil like you, I don't know in what form my wish will come true!"

"But you'll still come looking for me, won't you?" Luo Feng opened his eyes slightly and looked to his right: "The angels over there can't stop me at all."

Kong Yinzi paused for a moment, then instinctively looked to her left.

Raffi was floating in the air, smiling as she looked over. She was at least a hundred meters away.

“Her location allows her to escape back to Heaven at any time,” Luo Feng said. “An angel who doesn’t even have the ability or courage to face the devil, are you really going to take what she says seriously? Is she saying, ‘If you don’t make a deal with me, I can’t do anything to you?’”

Kong Yinzi silently looked at Luo Feng.

"Actually, it's not a matter of whether I can or can't, but whether I want to or not." Luo Feng turned his gaze to Kong Yinzi, his eyes once again turning into harmless squinting eyes: "How about a bet? Let's see if I dare to break the rules set by the devil."

"No gambling." Kong Yinzi's heart tightened; she always felt that Luo Feng meant what he said.

"Tsk, this is boring. You're not even going to bet, so I don't need to do anything to prove anything to a kid like you." Luo Feng said helplessly, "That would be too boring."

"..." Sora Ginko didn't want to speak.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

"By the way, what she said is true." Luo Feng said seriously, "Your wish really could be fulfilled in a distorted way."

He extended his index finger and gently placed it on Kong Yinzi's forehead.

Just as Sora Ginko was about to dodge, she felt a tidal wave of memories rushing towards her.

The transaction Luo Feng made last night, the Yukinoshita mother and daughter who came to her door, and Yukinoshita Saori's worries while watching TV today—all of these clearly surfaced in her mind.

"You, you actually killed someone like that?" Kong Yinzi trembled, unable to accept it.

"Do you think that guy who replaced the rich kid had no chance of surviving?" Luo Feng said softly, "The fact that I didn't kill him directly means that I didn't deprive him of all his chances of life. If he had stopped the car and talked to his childhood sweetheart properly, wouldn't he have missed that bend? If he had turned around and taken his childhood sweetheart home instead of going to the nearest love hotel, wouldn't he have avoided the car accident?"

“Reversing this outcome and going back in time is not difficult for me, especially since it has not been discovered by anyone.”

"He died because of his greed; he turned to evil on his own, not because I made him do it. Do you think that makes sense?"

Kong Yinzi was stunned. She felt that what Luo Feng said seemed to make sense.

At that time, there was indeed an opportunity.

"Phew, does what I think have any impact on you?" Kong Yinzi felt that none of this would have happened if Luo Feng hadn't stirred things up!

Ultimately, he pushed someone when they were just impulsively thinking of jumping off a building, and handed them a knife when they were contemplating committing a crime.

The other person might have acted on impulse, but he went and actually helped them make it happen!

"Believe it or not, that woman who came to me yesterday, even if she knew her wish might be fulfilled in a distorted way, she would still come to me?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "Human desires and human pursuits are endless."

"She knew it might be a twisted way, so why would she still come to you? I don't believe it!" Sora Ginko said decisively.

After seeing all this, she felt increasingly unwilling to make a deal with Luo Feng.

If a few thoughts had flashed through your mind before, they are no longer there now.

"Don't believe me?" Luo Feng asked with pity. "That's because you've never despaired. When you see a glimmer of hope in despair, even if you know it's a trap, you'll willingly jump in because you have no other choice."

"..." Kong Yinzi turned her head away, not wanting to argue with Luo Feng.

"I just came out for a walk and to see you." Seeing that Yaichi Kuzuryu had already gone back, Luo Feng straightened up and said, "I have other things to do. Goodbye."

With that, Luo Feng turned and left without a second thought, leaving her with a strange silhouette.

Kong Yinzi opened her mouth, increasingly unable to understand Luo Feng's thought process.

Luo Feng revealed a slight smile.

When that woman makes a deal with him, it might just be the time when Kong Yinzi is desperate.

When she sees that woman is willing to make this deal, she might waver, right?

A robber kidnapped a group of people and made them line up to pay money. The first person paid 100, the second 200, and so on. So everyone lined up. The first person said smugly, "Look, I paid less than all of you!" In the end, everyone rushed to pay, forgetting even to resist.

Humans are creatures most easily swayed by trends; they'll criticize this and that, even if they don't know what happened, they'll still join in the criticism.

Seeing people queuing up to buy things and eat, even if they don't know if the food is good or not, makes them want to try it.

There's still a long way to go in training her; Luo Feng's life has no end, so there's no rush.

Whether it's useful or not, I'm just idling around anyway, so I might as well give it a try—it won't cost me anything.

Chapter 022 Departure

Kuzuryuu Yaichi returned to his master's house, looking preoccupied, which Kiyotaki Keika quickly noticed.

"Bayi, why are you back so soon?" Kiyotaki Keika looked at him in confusion.

"Senior sister doesn't need me to see her off." Kuzuryuu Yaichi gave a wry smile. "That boss is here to pick her up again. The two of them..."

"Hmm? Here we go again?" Kiyotaki Keika said thoughtfully, "How did he know that Gin would leave at this exact time..."

"Maybe it's because he's been waiting for his senior sister outside." Kuzuryuu Yaichi thought of a possibility.

"Phew..." Kiyotaki Keika had a headache.

Could it be that Yinzi really likes this older woman?

No, maybe he's just after money.

We can't let money fall into this kind of old man's trap. Who knows if he's a womanizer?

Yinzi is naive and easily falls for traps.

Thinking of this, Kiyotaki Keika said to Kuzuryuuya, "Let's go talk to him and see what he really means and what his relationship is with the money."

You won't get anything out of Kong Yinzi; you might as well go find him directly.

"Do you know where he is?" Kuzuryuuya was taken aback.

“He runs an izakaya (Japanese pub) and gave me his business card,” Kiyotaki Keika said. “If he’s really a bad guy and Ginja gets scammed, then things will be bad. We have to protect Ginja.”

"Yes." Yaichi Kuzuryu nodded vigorously.

"Stay calm, don't let them get away..."

Just then, two pure white feathers suddenly drifted down from the sky and gently landed on their heads.

A whisper seemed to echo in their hearts.

"But, won't my senior sister be angry?" Kuzuryu Yaichi hesitated. "My senior sister told me not to look for him."

"Is that so? Then I'll try to find a breakthrough with Gin." Kiyotaki Keika thought for a moment. Given Gin's temper, if Yaichi disobeyed her, he would definitely throw a tantrum, right?

At that time, Bayi might get another beating.

…………

With mixed feelings, Sora Ginko boarded the train and headed to the Kansai Shogi Hall.

She didn't think much about Yaichi Kuzuryu's feelings, because that guy was just too oblivious. She had confessed to him many times, but he was still unmoved.

Even if Luo Feng appears, I've explained things properly, so it shouldn't be a problem; he won't take it to heart.

Soon, she arrived at her destination and went up to the third floor.

When she arrived at the chess room, someone was already waiting for her.

"Sister Yinzi, please take care of me."

The source of the sound was a cute little boy.

Kuga is only eleven years old. He was previously a second-dan in the VIP program, just like Sora Ginko. He is a true genius.

The two first met half a year ago. In that game, Silver gave Xiangche a handicap, but still lost. Silver was a 2-dan player against Kaguya Souichi.

To put it another way, when Kugihara entered the rewards club as a level six player, Sora Gin was still a level one player.

He is a true chosen one by the God of Shogi, just like Yaichi Kuzuryu.

They can not only clearly visualize the pieces moving at lightning speed on the chessboard in their minds, but they can also perceive the function of each piece and easily understand it without needing to read it carefully.

Although Sora Ginko has temporarily gained this ability, she is still envious of their talents.

Today's match wasn't a formal competition; it was just a casual game between friends.

Because Sora Ginko wasn't well-liked, she had no idea who to play chess with.

She just wants to play a few more games while this feeling is still there, to experience the joy of being a shogi player, and to remember this feeling.

Once that despicable devil retracts his power, I will also be able to grow stronger.

People began to enter the room to watch the game; some were members of the awards club, while others were professional Go players who came to join in the fun.

The fact that Sora Ginko beat Kuzuryu Yaichi was not reported, but it had already reached the ears of people in this small circle.

"Please take care of me." Sora Ginko nodded and sat down in front of the child. This time, she was no longer the Sora Ginko she had been before.

As the two continued their game, the crowd quickly showed expressions of surprise.

This……

What a brilliant move!

These people weren't like Luo Feng, who was full of strange ideas; they were able to understand and clearly perceived Kong Yinzi's growth.

As Kong Yinzi continued to use her skills, her previous techniques became increasingly less noticeable to everyone.

That unconventional downward movement already bore the resemblance to her junior brother, Kuzuryuu Yaichi.

It wasn't an accident that she beat Kunisoto before!

The gazes of the crowd grew serious, especially those of the third-dan player and the professional Go players.

It's astonishing that a girl possesses such talent; no one can afford to ignore it.

If someone loses to her occasionally, they can find excuses, but if she wins against many people, it's harder for them to claim that they let her win or were careless.

"I lost, shall we try again?"
