The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

She didn't understand why her husband had become so cold.

Could it be that he really lost interest in himself?

Qiuyuedai Huazi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the study, Akizuki Takashi was also unable to fall asleep.

He sat at his desk, replaying the scene he had seen in his mind.

His wife, Qiuyue Dai Huazi, fell into Xiuyuan's arms.

From day till now, this scene has been repeating in his mind.

He could clearly feel a slight reaction in his body.

Akizuki Takashi was ecstatic about this.

Just seeing his wife hugging Xiuyuan can make his body react.

If he could see with his own eyes his wife and Monk Xiuyuan getting closer, would he have a bigger reaction?

Thus healing one's own physiological abilities.

Thinking of that scene, Akizuki Kozo trembled with excitement. On the other side, the sisters Akizuki Airi and Akizuki Marina were enjoying the pleasure of taking a bath in the spacious bathroom.

In the huge round bathtub, a few rose petals floated on the steaming water, emitting a faint fragrance.

The warm water wrapped around the delicate bodies of the two little girls, making them feel extremely comfortable.

"Ah~ It feels so good!" Qiuyue Ai Li tilted her head back, and her golden ponytails were tied up high to prevent them from getting wet.

She stretched, her face flushed from the heat.

Marina sat opposite her sister, her small hands playing with the water, creating ripples.

"Ellie, this bathtub is so huge! It's many times bigger than the one we have!"

Marina's eyes sparkled with surprise.

The steam from the hot water filled the bathroom, blurring the mirror and making the two sisters' vision hazy.

Ai Li narrowed her eyes, her gaze inadvertently falling on the area below her sister's neck.

It's bigger than mine.

This discovery made Ellie feel an inexplicable sense of imbalance.

"Marina, your..." Ai Li hesitated for a moment, her little face flushed slightly, but curiosity overcame shyness.

"Why is yours bigger than mine?"

Marina looked down at herself, then back at Ai Li's, a bewildered expression on her face.

"Eh? Really? I don't know either."

Ellie pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. She straightened up, and drops of water slid down her slender body.

"That's not fair! We are sisters, so why is yours so much bigger than mine?"

Marina was amused by Airi's sudden seriousness.

"Ellie, this kind of thing is not something I can decide."

But Ellie refused to give in. She stretched out her hands curiously and touched her sister.

"I want to see what's going on!"

"Ah! Ai Li, what are you doing?" Marina exclaimed and tried to dodge, but the bathtub was so small that she had nowhere to escape.

"Well, that's different from how I feel."

Ellie studied it seriously, as if she was conducting some important scientific experiment.

"Aili! It's so itchy!" Marina struggled to push Aili away.

But Ellie persisted and continued her research.

"How did you grow so big? Did you secretly eat some special food?"

"No! Don't talk nonsense, Ellie!"

The two of them started to play and laugh.

Marina finally seized the opportunity and fought back.

Ellie screamed.

"Ah! You actually attacked me by surprise."

Chapter 32: Akiyama Rinko: Master, I will rub your back

Xiu Yuan, who was in the next room, couldn't help but smile when he heard the Ai Li sisters' playful laughter. The two little ones were adapting well to their new environment.

The steam rising from the hot water filled the bathroom, making the entire space hazy.

Xiuyuan closed his eyes and let the warm water wrap around his whole body.

He had saved many demons today and gained a lot of merit points, which made him feel very happy.

"knocking"

There was a soft knock on the door.

The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and Rinko Akiyama walked in wrapped in a bath towel.

The figure was vaguely visible under the bath towel, her long sky-blue hair stuck to her fair neck, with water droplets sliding down her hair.

She held a bath ball in her hand, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Master, let me rub your back."

Xiuyuan looked at her deeply, nodded, and turned away.

Rinko Akiyama walked to the bathtub and knelt down carefully.

She put the bath ball aside, squeezed some bath gel into her palm, and rubbed out rich foam.

"Master, you have worked hard today."

Xiuyuan could feel her nervousness, but didn't say anything.

The slender fingers gently fell on Xiuyuan's broad back, and began to massage gently with warm foam.

Rinko Akiyama's movements are very professional, her techniques are skillful and her strength is moderate.

Xiuyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable service.

As the scrubbing continued, Rinko Akiyama's techniques became bolder.

Her hand slowly moved from Xiuyuan's back to his shoulder, and then forward.

"Master, the back is ready."

The implication of her words was clear.

Xiuyuan didn't say anything, as if he agreed.

Then, Rinko Akiyama began to clean the vajra, a ritual instrument.

When facing this sacred weapon, Rinko Akiyama's movements became more gentle. She rubbed it with appropriate strength, and her technique was so skillful that it was hard to believe that it was the hand of a master swordsman.

"host"

Akiyama Rinko's voice became soft.

She leaned close to Xiuyuan's ear, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"I feel the dark forces in my body starting to act up again"

While speaking, the tip of her tongue accidentally touched Xiuyuan's earlobe.

"Master, please help me break the darkness."

Upon hearing this, Xiuyuan suddenly stood up from the bathtub, pushed Rinko onto the washbasin, and made her face the mirror.

He stood behind Rinko and said:

"Rinko, I'll help you conquer the demon."

His voice carries the compassion of Buddhism.

"Thank you, Master."

There was anticipation in Akiyama Rinko's voice.

The fog on the mirror grew thicker.

Shuen begins his demon-subduing ritual, pitting the Buddhist power within him against the dark forces within Rinko.

Sisters Ellie walked out of the bathroom, steam still lingering on their bodies, and the scent of roses lingered around them.

Drops of water slid down Ellie's long golden hair. She shook her head, letting the last drops of water splash out.

Marina picked up a towel and gently wiped her hair.

Just then, a sound came from the next room, penetrating the wall.

The voice was intermittent and obviously belonged to Rinko Akiyama.

"What's wrong with Sister Rinko?" Ai Li stopped and asked with her head tilted.

She blinked her curious big eyes, took a step subconsciously, and walked towards the direction of the sound.

The sound seemed to be in pain, and Sister Rinko might need help.

Marina was quick to act and grabbed her sister's wrist.

"Aili, let's go back to the room." Marina's voice was surprisingly firm.

Ai Li was stunned for a moment, then shook off her sister's hand.

"But I heard Rinko-neeko yelling, she might need help!"

She stood there stubbornly, her eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from.

Another suppressed sound was heard, and Ellie's brows furrowed even tighter.

Marina sighed and grabbed her sister's hand again, this time with a little more force.

"That's not something we need help with."

She lowered her voice and said it, with a tone that brooked no rebuttal.

Ai Li opened her mouth to argue, but Marina had already leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words quickly.

Marina's words struck Airi's mind like a thunderbolt.

His expression froze instantly, his pupils suddenly dilated, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked incredulous.

"Really?" Ellie's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

She looked at the room again, her eyes filled with complex emotions - shock, confusion, and a hint of an indescribable feeling.

Marina didn't answer, but simply pulled her sister's hand again, signaling her to leave quickly. This time, Ai Li didn't resist.

She let her sister take her hand and went back to their room.

Marina gently closed the door, blocking out the strange noises.

The night is getting darker.

The only sound in the room was the steady breathing of the two sisters.

Marina fell asleep quickly, but Ai Li couldn't fall asleep.

She tossed and turned, her mind replaying the voices she had just heard and the words her sister had told her.

An inexplicable feeling of irritation filled her heart, as if countless little bugs were gnawing at her insides.

Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, forming a silver band of light on the floor.

Ellie stared at the light, her thoughts drifting back to that night.

Xiuyuan rescued her from the dungeon that day, and the feeling of security she felt was still unforgettable.

As long as she was by his side, all her fears and anxieties disappeared, as if nothing in the world could hurt her.
