Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

If Suzuki Seimei were an adult, Wei Zhuang would definitely be very wary of this guy with an unknown background and would try to find out his origins and background.

However, Suzuki Seimei was only a seven-year-old child. Even if Wei Zhuang knew the principle that one cannot judge a book by its cover, he could not possibly take him too seriously.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

After finishing her business with Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu didn't linger in his room. With a playful expression, she said, "After all, I accepted that young master's bed-warming fee, so I still have to warm his bed for him."

As soon as Zi Nu finished speaking, she swayed her alluring waist and walked with a seductive, mysterious gait toward Nong Yu's bedroom.

???

Just as Zi Nu reached the door of Nong Yu's bedroom, a chorus of seductive music reached her ears, causing her to freeze in place.

As the mistress of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu was all too familiar with such decadent music.

What Zi Nu couldn't understand was how Suzuki Seimei, that little brat, could make Nongyu make such a pleasant sound.

Zi Nu stood outside the door for a while, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and gently pushed the door open and went inside.

?????ω?????

When Zi Nu saw Suzuki Seimei enjoying a seafood feast, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she thought to herself, "As expected of a young master from a prominent family, he knows how to have fun at such a young age."

A thousand gold coins for a night's bed warming fee is definitely not so easy to obtain!

Seeing Nongyu's joyful yet delirious expression, Zi Nu couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave.

However, Zi Nu was a person who valued her word. Since she had already agreed to help Suzuki Seimei warm his bed, there was no way she could go back on her word at the last minute. She could only bite the bullet and go along with it.

Faced with a seafood feast offered to him without his consent, Suzuki Seimei naturally had no reason to refuse and began to savor it carefully.

Early next morning

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the wooden window on the fourth floor and gently fell upon Zi Nu's face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes.

"What a little rascal!"

Looking down at Suzuki Harumi, who was fast asleep in her arms with drool at the corner of his mouth, Murasaki affectionately reached out her jade finger and gently stroked the tip of his nose.

Zi Nu first brushed aside Suzuki Seimei's small hand that was clutching his conscience, and then instructed Nongyu, who was pretending to be asleep, "Nongyu, you stay and sleep with the little rascal for a while longer. I still have some things to take care of, so I'll leave him to you to take care of."

"Um"

Upon hearing Zi Nu's words, Nong Yu, her face flushed with embarrassment, responded with a soft, almost inaudible voice.

┐??┌

It's no wonder Nongyu is so shy; she was completely out of control last night because of that brat Suzuki Seimei.

The thought of how she had shouted wildly in front of Zi Nu last night made Nong Yu wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Seeing Nongyu's shy expression, Zinu smiled knowingly and didn't tease her any further. She got dressed and left the bedroom.

"Mmm mmm mmm"

While asleep, Suzuki Seimei perhaps sensed something was off about the touch and subconsciously waved his little hand to touch it. He quickly grabbed Nongyu's hand and snuggled into her arms to continue sleeping.

"Little Rascal"

Seeing that even in his sleep, Suzuki Seimei could immediately find profound truths, Nongyu couldn't help but chuckle and mutter a curse under her breath.

"Kakaka"

At the same time, as the city gate of Xinzheng slowly rose, the vendors who had been waiting at the city gate lined up in an orderly manner to enter the city, carrying fresh vegetables and fruits.

ε′ο｀ Sigh

Dressed in the robes of a Confucian disciple, Han Fei led his white horse into Xinzheng City. He looked around at the city's prosperous scene and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Han Fei had already left Xiaoshengxianzhuang more than a month ago, and he should have arrived in Xinzheng City more than half a month ago.

However, after entering South Korea, Han Fei did not rush back to Xinzheng City, but instead took a general tour of South Korea.

Compared to the prosperous city of Xinzheng, the people in most cities in South Korea are living in dire straits, with many in such areas suffering from hunger and lack of clothing.

The wealthy and powerful who lingered in the Purple Orchid Pavilion every night, spending lavishly, were a stark irony compared to the common people who couldn't even afford to eat.

Although Han Fei did not know what the gap between the rich and the poor was, he knew a principle.

That is, if more than one-third of a country's population is starving, then that country is not far from its demise.

If South Korea does not make changes, even if it is not annexed by other countries, the starving people will rise up and overthrow the current rulers.

Unfortunately, King Han An lived in the palace year-round, and Xinzheng City maintained a prosperous appearance, so he was completely blind to the suffering people in Han territory.

"elder brother!"

A melodious voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Han Fei's thoughts. Princess Honglian, dressed in a long palace dress, walked over with a group of guards.

"red lotus!"

Although the two had not seen each other for several years, Han Fei recognized Princess Honglian immediately when he saw her.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

Seeing Han Fei again after so many years, Princess Honglian felt no sense of unfamiliarity at all. She immediately opened her arms and rushed into his embrace, saying, "Brother, Honglian missed you so much!"

Feeling his beloved little sister's affection for him, Han Fei's slight sense of distance caused by time instantly vanished. He reached out and touched her hair, saying, "Since you miss me so much, how about a kiss?"

"clap clap"

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, Princess Honglian turned his face around and kissed his cheek several times.

"You idiot, I was just kidding! You actually took it seriously!"

Han Fei wiped the rouge off his cheeks with a helpless expression, and glared at Princess Honglian with annoyance: "You're a grown woman now. With so many people on the street, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Not afraid!"

Princess Honglian made a cute but fierce expression, opened her small mouth to reveal two adorable tiger teeth, and then raised her wrist in front of Han Fei: "Anyone who dares to laugh at me, I'll let snakes bite them!"

"It's a snake!"

Looking at Princess Honglian's outstretched wrist, Han Fei was surprised to find that a red and black striped venomous snake was wrapped around it.

If Han Fei hadn't looked closely, he would have thought that the brightly colored venomous snake was Princess Honglian's new bracelet!

After recovering from his surprise, Han Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "This is too dangerous! Throw it away right now!"

It's no wonder Han Fei was so alarmed; just from the snake's bright patterns and sharp triangular head, it was clear that it was highly venomous.

If Honglian were to accidentally get bitten by it, she would probably be in grave danger.

Moreover, snakes are cold-blooded animals, unlike cats and dogs. They can't be tamed at all, and they might suddenly go out of control.

"Brother, don't be scared! Little Red is a very good girl."

Seeing Han Fei's terrified expression, Princess Honglian quickly comforted him and then demonstrated her snake-controlling abilities to him.

"Little Red, dance for your brother."

As soon as Princess Honglian finished speaking, the red-striped venomous snake wrapped around her wrist slowly raised its upper body and began to sway gently.

Σっ°Д°;っ

Upon witnessing Princess Honglian's snake-controlling abilities firsthand, Han Fei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Wow! Honglian, when did you learn such a skill?"

"Impressive, right!"

Princess Honglian said proudly, "This is something my master taught me."

"Master? When did you get a master?"

"I'll tell you about my master later."

Princess Honglian took Han Fei's arm and said, "Brother, I've already had a banquet prepared for you. You smell so bad, we need to have a proper welcome feast to wash you away!"

"Am I that smelly? I just took a shower last month!"

"You just took a shower last month?! Ugh, brother, you're disgusting!"

"Hahaha"

Watching Princess Honglian and her companions depart, Zi Nu, standing by the window on the fourth floor of Zi Lan Xuan, suddenly asked, "That's Han Fei. What do you think of him?"

"We need to take another look."

Wei Zhuang frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Oh right! Tonight, the Farmer's Hidden Dragon Hall is holding a trade fair. Go and deliver a gift to them for me."

"Gift?"

Zi Nu was slightly taken aback at first, then said thoughtfully, "It seems you still think highly of him."

"I simply had no better choice!"

Wei Zhuang had only spoken halfway when he suddenly raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Who goes there?!"

"it's me!"

Suzuki Seimei, dressed in a black outfit, walked in from outside the door with his small hand raised. He looked up and stared directly into Wei Zhuang's eyes, replying without changing his expression, "I came to see Sister Zi Nu, not to eavesdrop on your conversation."

""

Wei Zhuang stared at Suzuki Seimei with icy eyes for a while, then suddenly said in a very certain tone, "You are a swordsman! And a master swordsman at that!"

Although Suzuki Seimei had never used any swordsmanship in front of Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang could still sense a unique aura of a swordsman emanating from him.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

Faced with Wei Zhuang's unwavering confidence, Suzuki Seimei made no attempt to hide anything, deliberately adopting an expression of admiration as he said, "I have indeed studied swordsmanship. The swordsmanship I practice is called the Dugu Nine Swords. My fifth uncle once told me that the Dugu Nine Swords is one of the most powerful swordsmanship techniques in the world, and it is said that this swordsmanship was created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai."

╬￣ dishes￣

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang's forehead veins bulged, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

In Wei Zhuang's mind, only the Ghost Valley School's swordsmanship was qualified to be called the strongest swordsmanship in the world.

Moreover, Wei Zhuang was very displeased with the name Dugu Qiubai. It was too arrogant to use the words "seeking defeat" in his name!

"You little rascal, how come I've never heard of the name Dugu Qiubai before?"

Zi Nu asked with some doubt, "If the Dugu Nine Swords is truly one of the most powerful sword techniques in the world, then the Dugu master who created it must not have been an unknown figure, right?"
