How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"I think you must have noticed this, so you were so bold and confident to compete with her one-on-one, and in the end, you deliberately pretended to be a step behind and lost."

"And it is precisely because of this move that she will surely be under lingering psychological pressure. It is possible that whenever she has free time, she will think about you."

"The one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. If we take the initiative to comfort her at this time, I think even the strongest heart will be softened."

"Therefore, I think your plan is quite perfect, and the possibility of success is at least about 80%. As for the remaining 20%, it depends on Long Feng's understanding."

Every word and sentence reflected his true intention. Suruga was worthy of being Suruga, with a very sharp insight.

And she acted quite quickly, because due to her past friendship, she also knew how to contact Long Feng secretly.

After finding out that Zhou Xuan shared the same ideals, he invited Long Feng to meet. The location was set at a small pub near the north gate, tonight, and it would be quiet and deserted.

"How are you, Longfeng?" Seeing that the room on the second floor had welcomed its guests, Suruga immediately stood up and walked forward.

He wanted to reach out and shake hands with Long Feng and exchange greetings, but she shook him off after she had reacted.

"Everyone has their own master. I have nothing to say to you, Suruga."

After leaving a cold word to draw a line between them, Long Feng stopped looking at her and turned to look at Zhou Xuan who was sitting quietly at the table, enjoying his tea comfortably.

"Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan, you are really lawless. You came here alone to keep the appointment. Do you know where this place is?"

"This is Gunma Prefecture, where our army is stationed. If we are really exposed, can you two escape?"

Rather than being sarcastic, it was more like a concern for his situation. It was inexplicable, yet spontaneous, and Long Feng really couldn't figure it out.

She moved closer to Zhou Xuan and saw that he didn't care and just kept drinking tea with his head down. She became even more angry.

Instinctively, I wanted to resist.

"Or, can you guess, am I going to this meeting alone? Is the downstairs of the tavern already surrounded by soldiers, waiting for you to fall into their trap?"

"You don't think that I came here without any preparation, do you? If so, that would be too naive!"

Long Feng tried to smirk, and in order to show his determination and unfathomableness at the end, he did not forget to add a few seemingly gloomy evil smiles, which looked quite interesting.

Finally moved by her, Zhou Xuan stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked up at her.

"Sit down nicely. I don't serve tea to rude people."

Suddenly, Zhou Xuan's tone became serious, and his dark and deep eyes stared at her, as if he could see into her heart.

Long Feng couldn't hold back his shock, his body tensed, and he sat down almost instinctively.

"I...I know."

If he behaved himself, things would be easier. Zhou Xuan stood up, poured tea, and slowly began to lay the groundwork.

"Why should I make guesses based on the options you gave me? Didn't General Long Feng ever think that since I chose to sneak into the city alone, I didn't have any follow-up preparations?"

"Or maybe General Longfeng is my best protection?"

"Stop it, I won't go along with you. I wish I could use your head to clear my name."

"Oh? Now you and I are facing each other, very close to each other. As long as General Longfeng intends to attack, I think I will have no chance to react. Why..."

If you ask why, Long Feng actually doesn’t quite know.

As an enemy with a different stance and a different camp, she should not have gone to the appointment without permission. She should have led the army in person, pretending to negotiate but actually setting up a trap.

In the end, nothing was done. A person just came here foolishly, and even the decision to draw the sword was based on the other party's suggestion. It was really unreasonable.

Under the soul-torturing questioning, Long Feng soon fell into the dead end of self-discovery.

And conquering the heart is the best thing, which is exactly what the two needed to see. Seeing this opportunity, Suruga took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Chapter 321: Troubled Times, Where Are the Wise Men?

"To be honest, Long Feng, we came here to win you over."

"Now that the situation is clear, why do you continue to resist and make unnecessary sacrifices?"

"The Lord is kind-hearted and this is the place where you can show your talents the most."

"enough."

Suruga's method hit the nail on the head. Long Feng was no longer confused and was no longer hiding in the horns deep in his heart.

Instead, he opened his fierce eyes, left his seat, and walked towards her step by step.

Then there was the sound of a sword cutting through the air, and the sharp blade that had never appeared before Zhou Xuan was placed on her neck.

The blade was deflected, and with a slight application of force, a tiny scar appeared on the already fragile neck, from which blood gradually oozed out.

"This is my bottom line, Suruga. This is also the last chance I give you. If you dare to mention it again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

It can be said that this was the most severe reprimand ever given to Long Feng in history.

However, in Suruga's opinion, there was a huge difference in treatment, which indirectly confirmed that her guess was correct.

Her real weakness, since some point in time, has become Zhou Xuan.

Unfortunately, she is in the middle of it and is completely unaware of it.

Seeing that the purpose of the test was achieved, Suruga stopped fanning the flames and promptly admitted her mistake and softened her attitude, thus coaxing her stubborn partner to the greatest extent possible.

"Okay, okay, Long Feng, I won't talk about this anymore. It's almost time for you to put away the knife, right?"

After all, they were old companions, and if they really started to act cute and beg for mercy, she really had no way to deal with it.

He just sighed for no reason and then put the knife back as she wished.

Looking back at Zhou Xuan standing beside him, at the cup of steaming tea he had just poured, he couldn't drink it no matter what.

"If this is why you asked me to come here, then I'm leaving."

"Listen carefully, Zhou Xuan. I will not agree to your request, nor will I be like them and become a servant who is willing to be driven by you."

"I am an official of the Qinghe Dynasty, and I am the sword of His Majesty Nagato. I will devote my whole life to her alone. I advise you... to give up the idea."

"As for our meeting tonight, as a token of my gratitude for your mercy, I can pretend that nothing happened."

"Go ahead, I've already called the North Gate."

It seemed to be her last instruction. After she finished speaking, she lifted her slender legs wrapped in black leather boots and walked out the door.

Suddenly, Zhou Xuan and his friend were the only ones left in the empty room. Not long after, they also left.

Unexpectedly, after they left, a tall figure suddenly jumped down from the roof.

She was wearing a simple and light red palace dress, her whole body was covered with brown stockings, and the fox ears on her head were jumping from time to time. It was the killer sent by Musashi, Kii himself.

She was searching here and there, and from her posture, it was obvious that she had heard the entire conversation between the two people.

The search at this time was just to find another clue about Zhou Xuan.

Soon, she set her eyes on the cup on the main seat, which was the one Zhou Xuan had used.

“The tea is fragrant and tastes surprisingly good.”

"It seems that Kyoto is not the only place that has such amazing delicacies."

"Hehehe."

Coming to the window, Ji Yi looked into the distance in the direction where Zhou Xuan and the other man left, smiling to himself.

Everything ended with her laughter, including the contact tonight. Everything seemed extremely natural, as if they just met by chance.

A three-day agreement was made, and during this period, both sides would actively prepare for war.

At the same time, thousands of miles to the south, other people's stories were also unfolding.

The purple and white colors complement each other, looking noble, cool and pure. The gorgeous clothes stand out particularly in the deep mountains and forests.

She was a special girl, and the most special thing about her was her eyes, one side was orange, like amber.

One side was covered by the slanted bangs, so her true face couldn't be seen clearly. All that could be seen was the blue butterfly resting on her hair.

"The world is in chaos, where are the wise men..."

The girl sighed and looked at the ink-black scabbard hanging around her waist. Before she could sigh, she heard the crying of children.

"Wow, what a big python. So scary. Woo woo woo woo..."

"Don't...don't be afraid, Huang Chao and everyone else, I will protect you!"

"But Asashio-nee, your legs are shaking too."

"Stupid... idiot, I'm just stretching my muscles. I'm not...my legs are shaking, and I'm not scared. Just be at ease."

Are you really not afraid? No...that's not true. The girl heard the news and saw everything with her own eyes. She quickly made her own judgment.

Looking at the python that is approaching step by step, it is dozens of meters wide. Perhaps it has exceeded the category of python and reached the level of giant snake.

At this moment, it was eyeing the four sisters Chaochao because it was looking for food. It moved its tongue from time to time. It was estimated that if it caught anyone else, it would open its mouth wide and swallow the few people it was circling around it in one gulp.

Events proved that the girl's judgment was completely correct. After confirming that it was correct and there were no other unexpected risks, the giant snake began to swallow.

The only pity is that, although it is fast, the girl is even faster than it.

Almost at the moment when it opened its mouth, the sharp blade hanging on its waist came out of its sheath, and an invisible sword light instantly separated its upper and lower body.

The action that was supposed to be swallowing actually helped to separate its head and tail. It split into two and the huge head fell straight down.

He was just one step away from the dumbfounded Asashio sisters, and he never understood why he was destroyed until his death.

"It's alright, little ones."

They were still in a daze when a voice suddenly came from the side. The stimulation from one end to the other was too sudden, and the four nervous people were frightened again.

Until the girl introduced herself and explained.

"It's alright everyone, I've killed the snake, your safety is guaranteed."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Yunxian. What should I call you?"

"I am Asashio, the oldest among the four. They are my younger sisters, Taishio, Manshio, and Arashio."

Chao Chao was still a step faster. She was the first to react from her daze and took on the responsibilities that she should have as an older sister.

Yun Xian couldn't help but look at her a few more times, showing great respect for this seemingly ordinary girl, and began to communicate with her peacefully.

Later, when she learned that they were looking for ingredients for lunch, she was worried that something similar would happen again, so she joined them and helped look for them.

With the help of the reliable adults, all the necessary ingredients were found and lunch was finally arranged.

Most of them are natural delicacies such as wild vegetables, and there are also some fish and shrimp caught from the river. It is barely considered abundant.

Finally, when Yunxian achieved her goal and was about to leave, Chaochao grabbed her hand and pleaded with all her heart.

"Thanks to Sister Yunxian for taking care of us. If it weren't for you, I'm sure we sisters would have become food for the giant snake."

"To thank you for saving my life, why don't you stay for lunch?"

"To be honest, Manchao's cooking skills are quite good. You will definitely like it!"

Her name was called out and she was put at the center of public attention. Although her face was red with embarrassment, Manchao still followed her sister's instructions in order to get Yunxian's agreement.

Together with the other sisters, they surrounded her and pestered her in a cute way.

Only Yunxian herself knew whether she was hungry or not. The roaring sounds just covered up the growls from her stomach.

After careful calculation, it was almost time to eat, so she just went along with it and said helplessly.

"It's hard to refuse such a kind offer, so I will respectfully obey your order."

Chapter 322: Zhou Xuan arrives, and the cherry blossoms are born.

"Wow, sister, the meal is finally ready, it smells so good... I can hardly hold it in, hehehe..."

It was like a disclaimer, and after leaving this sentence, the sisters rushed forward, led by Dachao.

There was no place left for Yunxian at all, and the sensible sister had to persuade her.

"Put down the dishes first!"

"Sister Yunxian is a guest, so we should put her first in everything. Besides, she just saved us, so we should be grateful and repay her!"

"Now! Put down your bowls and chopsticks, and make room for Sister Yunxian to eat first. Got it?!"

"I understand....sister."

Realizing belatedly that they had committed a taboo, the sisters, led by Dachao, lowered their heads out of guilt, and backed away, slowly giving up the seats they had occupied to Yunxian.
