Female Swordsman Training Dojo

Yuan Xueying became wary again, which made the Red Dragon Queen shake her head slightly: "You shouldn't be Ping Qingxin's wife, right? Why are you so concerned about him?"

“That’s none of your business, Red Dragon.” Yuan Xueying refused to talk. “I will pass on your meeting request to Qingxin. Until then, please do not do anything that could be misunderstood.”

"Hmm?" The Red Dragon Queen raised her fiery red eyebrows, and a sudden wave of pressure descended. The code of chivalry didn't forbid punishing the insolent who initiated the provocation. Moreover, she had been quite curious about Yuan Xueying while observing from afar; her swordsmanship was so strange that it made one want to spar with her…

"Miss Yuan, is everything alright?"

Hirayukiko jumped from the rooftop to Minamoto Yukisakura's side, first asking with concern, then nodding slightly to the Red Dragon Queen: "Your Highness King Arthur, what is this...?"

"I need to speak with Ping Qingxin about something. Is he available right now?"

Looking at Hirako, who was subtly protecting Minamoto Yukisakura behind her, the Red Dragon Queen shook her head regretfully. Although sparring with powerful knights was one of her great pleasures, it was somewhat unnecessary to offend Hiraharubu for it.

Hirako had already learned of Harunobu's condition through telepathy, and even relayed the Red Dragon Queen's request verbatim. Then, following Harunobu's reply, she said, "My husband is still on his way back. Why don't you come back with us?"

The Red Dragon Queen glanced around and asked, "Have you finished your business? If not, I can help you."

She came out because she had noticed the mechanical dolls causing trouble and was preparing to eliminate the evil ones.

"No, no need, it's all been resolved." Hirako smiled and shook her head. "All that's left is to finish up, and there are people specifically in charge of that."

Harunobu certainly wouldn't take all the blame for the huge incident that the Tongxin Society had quietly caused in Osaka. A detailed report had already been urgently sent to Tokyo, and it should have arrived some time ago by now.

Speaking of which, I wonder if that princess and her emperor father have been sleeping well these past few days since they learned about the existence of the gods.

Hirai Yukiko and others had quite a few complaints about Mitsuki-hime, who had repeatedly ordered Harunobu around.

The Red Dragon Queen didn't mince words and immediately clapped her hands: "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Chapter 436: The Red Dragon Queen's Compensation

At a luxurious hotel in Osaka, Harunobu, dressed in new clothes, received the Red Dragon Queen in the banquet hall. The Western-style banquet hall made the Knights of the Round Table more relaxed, but the most relaxed was the Red Dragon Queen, who hadn't stopped talking from the very beginning, making Harunobu exclaim that she truly lived up to King Arthur's reputation.

Since he wasn't one to fuss over etiquette, he simply pulled his wives down to sit and started eating.

So, in the magnificent banquet hall, the host and the distinguished guests sat facing each other, frantically eating as if they were holding some kind of gluttony contest. The most polite Sun Knight covered his face with his hands, unable to bear the sight.

After several rounds of meals, the Red Dragon Queen put the sixty-eighth large bowl aside and elegantly let out a burp—I know this is absurd, but that's how Harunobu felt.

"Your chef is really good, much better than Gawain's."

"Alright, Arthur, spare my poor cook." Harunobu stroked the soft Fujiwara Kaguya and Yakumo Kurenai in his arms. "What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

“I have told you about this, Harunobu.” King Arthur picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. “Regarding my attack on you based on rumors, I must make amends to atone for my sins; it is my duty as a Knight of the Round Table.”

"Just for this?"

Qingxin shook his head, somewhat surprised: "Then I'll say it again, you just need to pay the compensation. Pounds are very valuable here."

Although Harunobu is no longer short of money, he still prefers to receive cash directly rather than accepting meaningless compensation like beating up the Red Dragon Queen. If he really had to fight, he'd rather go back and "fight" Izanami.

"This is

Chapter 466

"That's the problem, I'm out of money." King Arthur was unusually embarrassed, but quickly regained his composure. Now it was Qingxin's turn to be speechless. If he didn't believe King Arthur wouldn't lie, he would have suspected that the red dragon in front of him was unwilling to spend money and would rather be beaten.

After all, it's a dragon.

But believing it is one thing, asking the right question is another. Qingxin said with a hint of sarcasm, "You're broke? The master of the sword in the stone, the destroyer of the dragon Vortigern; the lord of Camelot, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, the guardian of the Celts and Great Britain; the great King Arthur, tells me she can't even come up with a mere three thousand pounds?"

To everyone's surprise, King Arthur wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, his eyes lit up, his bright red eyes like two pure rubies, revealing a hint of smugness: "You've read 'Le Morte d'Arthur'? What do you think? It's a good book, isn't it?"

Harunobu had a bad feeling: "It's a good book, wait, don't tell me..."

"Yes! That's the book I wrote—see, you guys! I told you it was a good book!"

The Knights of the Round Table at the other table covered their faces, turned away, and seemed to have an urge to disappear into the ground. Harunobu understood them perfectly; after all, the vivid descriptions in *Le Morte d'Arthur*, combined with the sight of this man before them…

Harunobu couldn't help but ask, "So you really did have a queen?"

“Oh, no, otherwise I would have burned Lancelot to ashes long ago.” King Arthur waved his hand. “In fact, most of it is fabricated, especially the part about my death.”

What a shocking fact... Harunobu closed Fujiwara Kaguya's wide-open mouth. As the only British exchange student around Harunobu, her worldview was severely shaken.

“Alright, let’s get back to the point, Arthur,” Harunobu said helplessly. “Why can’t you come up with the compensation? The royalties from ‘Le Morte d’Arthur’ alone are more than that, aren’t they? Or is it that the current King of England is targeting you, the native king, to the point that you don’t have any extra money?”

This was the most reasonable speculation Qingxin could find, after all, the Celts and Anglo-Saxons were like the Native Americans and Americans. If one day a Native American king emerged, he would most likely go out in the morning, die at noon, be buried at night, and then have his cause of death determined by an autopsy.

However, Harunobu soon realized what it meant for the world to be full of wonders.

King Arthur calmly replied, "Because Merlin took all my money and was dragged into Avalon by Vivian, I think it will take at least five or six years before she can escape from her mother's dungeon."

Harunobu suspected he was under a spell: "What?"

"So..." King Arthur repeated, then emphasized, "So I don't have any money to compensate you right now, why don't you just fight back?"

"...Give me some time to think."

Haruno, rubbing the two little cuties, took some time to understand what King Arthur had just said, and couldn't help but complain: "Why is Merlin a girl? Why was she kidnapped by the Lady of the Lake? And why is the Lady of the Lake her mother? And why did she take all your money? Most importantly, you are the King of Knights of the Round Table, couldn't you have asked your knights to pay for you first?"

"I am the King of Knights, how can I let a knight be responsible for my mistakes!" King Arthur raised his head righteously and puffed out his chest, his considerable assets quite eye-catching, but Harunobu still looked speechless.

"As for Merlin, she's always been a girl—oh, she's the Dragon Speaker I discovered ten years ago, not the old man from Le Morte d'Arthur. Thanks to her, I was able to rebuild the Knights of the Round Table and completely defeat my evil uncle."

“And Vivian, well… maybe you know, or maybe you don’t… anyway, the Ladies of the Lake love to steal away lovely children to raise, like the first Lancelot, like this Merlin; and, unfortunately, all Dragon Speakers have some unusual quirks, and Merlin is just like you…”

Seeing King Arthur's hesitant manner, Harunobu suddenly understood her meaning: "She likes women?"

"Yes, just like you."

"How is this the same as me—"

"You like women too, don't you?"

Faced with King Arthur's innocent question, Harunobu was at a loss for words—he couldn't very well say that he didn't like women, who would believe that?

However, the repeated setbacks annoyed Qingxin, who deliberately made a condition targeting King Arthur: "Alright, since that's the case, why don't you just become my woman? You're quite to my liking."

Tall, fit, and dashing.

Big breasts, perky buttocks, pretty face.

The Knights of the Round Table cast excited glances at Qingxin, knowing they were no match for him, especially since King Arthur had brought this up first; otherwise, they would have already charged forward shouting "The King cannot be insulted!"

"Please allow me to refuse. Chivalry is not an excuse for a knight to degenerate." King Arthur's refusal was within Qingxin's expectations. Rather, if she had agreed, Qingxin would have had to consider whether this red dragon was after his vast wealth and was planning to outlive him and inherit his estate.

"So, let's consider the previous cooperation as compensation. You fought very hard, and I wasn't injured at all. On the contrary, you were the ones who suffered losses." Harunobu was ready to end this farce. He was busy. Osaka was in complete chaos, and he was the only one who could stop it.

But King Arthur didn't think so. After Haruno finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, Haruno. Although I can't be your woman because of this, I can give you a chance to pursue me—hmm, does that sound a bit off? What I mean is, maybe we can spend more time together?"

"what?"

The Knights of the Round Table and Harunobu were both nearly speechless. Hirako and the others, on the other hand, while somewhat surprised, weren't overreacting. After all, it was perfectly normal for a little vixen to have her eye on their man.

However, this time it is indeed a bit dangerous.

After a brief exchange of glances, the women surrounding Harunobu reached a consensus.

Chapter 437: The Great Purge

The bright morning light, accompanied by a cool breeze, swept through the streets and alleys of Osaka. The aroma of delicious breakfasts wafted on the wind, stimulating the appetites of those setting out early. Discussions about the samurai lords from Tokyo rose and fell in the bustling streets, with the towering mechanical giants and their extraordinary swordsmanship capable of summoning wind and thunder becoming the most captivating topics of conversation.

—It's a beautiful morning, but some people don't think so.

Those Chinese and high-ranking officials who lived in detached mansions or even spacious estates; those generals and marshals who rarely retreated to military camps or even warships; and even those eminent monks, priests, and priests who were usually kind and amiable and preached the Dharma, have all completely disappeared.

But it's not their fault, after all, in just three short days, half of their friends have died—and the remaining half is probably close to being killed as well.

They never imagined that the Tongxin Society, which had been rooted in Osaka for decades and possessed so many powerful individuals, advanced technology, and ancient magic, would be defeated by a mere samurai. Moreover, in less than a month, before they even had time to adjust their strategy, destroy evidence, or surrender, the Tongxin Society had already abandoned Osaka and fled.

Then, the samurai came to the door.

The merchants and officials who colluded with the Tongxin Society to maliciously inflict injuries and force victims to seek out the Tongxin Society's blood therapy clinic were all killed and their entire property confiscated.

Colluding with the Tongxin Society to cover up and exonerate its various illegal activities.

Chapter 467

Even officials and Yakuza who were involved in the crime were exterminated—their entire families were killed, all their property was confiscated, and their family names and status were stripped away.

Those who colluded with the Tongxin Society, providing them with guns, ammunition, and even various design principles, and even soldiers, scientists, and officers who participated in the research—were all killed, their entire property confiscated, their family names and status stripped, and their bodies cast into a Jingguan (a mound of corpses) to be paraded through the streets.

There were also those who provided equipment and supplies to the Tongxin Association; those who provided venues and manpower to the Tongxin Association; and those who provided…

In short—kill, kill, kill!!!

Over the next three days, Osaka was a scene of carnage, with heads rolling everywhere. Harunobu even grew tired of killing people. Mainly because none of them posed any real challenge, especially the officials and nobles; before he even entered their homes, they were either hanging themselves or drinking poison.

—It doesn't matter if you commit suicide and don't get into heaven, but where am I going to get my study points?

According to the side quest "Blood for Blood," Qingxin receives a reward of 50 points for each ordinary member of the Tongxin Society he kills, while a cadre-level member receives 100 to 500 points per kill. These rebels, who are deeply involved with the Tongxin Society, are all classified as ordinary members, with a few high-ranking members even being considered cadres.

So, Harunobu has been raking in points these past few days. The only downside is that there are too many of these rebels, and they're too spineless. To get the reward, either Harunobu or a disciple on the disciple roster must personally take action. In other words, only kills by Harunobu, Taira no Sachiko, Fujiwara no Kaguya, Yakumo Kurenai, and Tachibana no Seiko count.

This time, the number of rebels identified as guilty of "aiding and abetting internal strife" has exceeded two thousand. If their family and friends are included, the number may well exceed ten thousand.

They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.JPG

But he still had to try his best to kill. There was no other way; work was just that simple, unpretentious, and arduous. After failing to kill again, Qingxin glanced at the 10,000 study points he was still short, went out, got on his new little motorcycle, and turned on the throttle.

"Qingxin, are you sure you're okay with this? You've gone a bit too far."

Another motorcycle caught up, and King Arthur, riding on it, spoke with some concern. However, she wasn't suddenly a saint; the Red Dragon Queen of this world didn't have such weak thoughts. What worried her was whether Harunobu's rampant killing would affect her sanity—she had seen far too many knights who had fallen into depravity due to excessive slaughter.

"Don't worry about such useless things, you foreign red dragon." Izanami floated out of Harunobu on her own, saying with a hint of rejection and a touch of smugness, "Harunobu's spirit is protected by me, he will definitely be safe."

Since Harunobu partially disrupted the ritual to seal the Underworld, Izanami's ability to operate in the mortal realm has been greatly extended, and her energy consumption has been significantly reduced. Moreover, because Harunobu has established a connection with the source of the Underworld, she can now descend upon Harunobu at any time with almost no energy expenditure—Harunobu will now have his own spirit backing him.

Although this spirit behind him preferred to be in front of Harunobu, in any case, with the Mother of the Underworld as his spirit behind him, Harunobu's mental defenses were naturally very solid.

However, for the glorious and great Knight King, the existence of the Mother of the Underworld is far more dangerous. In her native tongue, Izanami is a true lord of hell; with her by Harunobu's side, he would be more easily corrupted!

"It is because you are here that I am even more worried, Evil... Mother of the Underworld."

Faced with the Knight King's straightforward questioning, Izanami's eyes darted around, her lips pouted, and she darted into Harunobu's arms, saying in a pitiful voice, "Harunobu, look at her~"

The Knight King's blood pressure spiked, especially when he saw that Qingxin actually went to stroke and pet this evil spirit, which ignited a nameless rage within him.

If you consider the motorcycle as a horse, then this scene looks too much like an evil spirit transforming into a beautiful woman to tempt the rider into depravity.

Moreover, although she was mostly joking, she did at least say that she was giving Haruno a chance to pursue her—is this how you pursue someone?

Or is she simply lacking in charm? Or perhaps there's something wrong with all these Dragon Speakers? Merlin is one, and so is this Hiraharu, surrounded by women yet seemingly showing absolutely no interest in her.

"Master, aren't you going to comfort her?" Izanami teased, biting Harunobu's earlobe. Even though she hadn't yet learned swordsmanship from Harunobu, that didn't stop her from flirting with him by changing her address. After all, she'd already called him "Dad."

"This is a real dragon girl! Even that half-finished black dragon has been feeling threatened lately."

"Then why are you deliberately trying to annoy her?" Harunobu slapped Izanami's butt. "You're deliberately asking for a beating, aren't you?"

"Mmm~" Izanami let out a soft moan, her seductive breaths arousing Harunobu, who could only glare at the little slut.

If I weren't driving, or on my way to run errands... ugh.

Izanami dissipated into a cloud of black mist, which entered Harunobu's trousers. Then, a soft, slippery, and tight cave swallowed Harunobu's dragon.

Although she couldn't fully transform without Harunobu's cooperation, simply changing the transformed form was still quite easy for the Mother of the Underworld.

Simply put, Qingxin's back spirit also has the effect of stimulating O-cup size.

All of this did not escape the Red Dragon Queen's notice, because Izanami did not try to hide it from him. Moreover, Harunobu's suddenly rapid breathing and slightly flushed face did not escape the Red Dragon Queen's observation.

This thing really is an evil spirit!!

Chapter 438: Shitennoji Temple

Two motorcycles stopped in front of an ancient temple. Before they even turned off the engines, two bald men approached and shouted from afar, "Amitabha! We are honored to have you two devout followers here. What brings you here?"

Qingxin got out of the carriage and smiled slightly at the two monks, one fat and one thin: "Don't be nervous, because being nervous won't help—which of you two is the abbot?"

The two smiling monks caught their breath and whispered, "Uh, the abbot is waiting for you in the main hall."

"As expected of the Shitennoji Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, they really have a lot of nerve." Harunobu said calmly, but the two monks felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but shrink back, cursing the abbot in their hearts.

"That old bald monk is indeed up to no good. He knows that Ping Qingxin, this god of death, is coming to his door, yet he still dares to put on airs. Does he think he can fool those ordinary people?"

"I'm going to die! I knew that old bastard was up to no good. Poor me, I still have over ten thousand taels of silver left to spend and enjoy, and now I'm about to go to the afterlife!"

Harunobu looked at the two monks with amusement: "Lead the way, I want to see how your abbot will persuade me, I hope it's not the same method as Honganji Temple."
