Female Swordsman Training Dojo

"Therefore, we hope that after you kill Ryuichi Suzuki, you can help contact mages or priests to help us deal with this..."

Nianzi's voice gradually lowered, but it was still full of hope, clearly not as carefree as she appeared. No one likes being imprisoned like merchandise, even if the cell is nicely decorated.

Qingxin nodded seriously: "I promise, I will definitely rescue you!"

Nianzi smiled and said, "Thank you—"

The words had barely begun when they were abruptly cut off. Nianzi's expression suddenly turned indifferent, her eyes blank and unfocused, as if she had suddenly entered a state of absentmindedness.

It took her more than ten seconds to return to normal, but her expression showed a lot more joy.

“My lord, I…” She suddenly stopped talking, then revealed a hint of helplessness, “I’m sorry, I can’t say, I’ll die if I do.”

Seeing the undisguised smile on her face, Qingxin waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Did you see me rescue you?"

Nianzi did not answer, but said, "I won't take up any more of your time. Suzuki Ryuichi should usually be in the Five-Story Tower at this time. The main hall is actually an experimental field, full of madmen with strange ideas in their heads."

"Also, you can go to the third floor now, you should—poof!"

As Nianzi spoke, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her whole body instantly slumped down, as if she hadn't slept for ten days and ten nights. She shook her head helplessly: "I'm sorry, sir, that's all I can say."

Qingxin nodded: "Thank you."

Turning around, Qingxin opened the door and walked up to the third floor.

Chapter 176: The Fox Demon

third floor.

Completely different from the second floor, this place has only one spacious room with the door wide open, allowing you to easily see inside from the doorway.

A desk stood against the wall in the middle, piled high with documents and adorned with a lucky cat figurine; a wooden chair with a thick cushion looked soft and comfortable. Besides that, there were only two bookshelves overflowing with books and ukiyo-e prints on the walls.

It looks like an ordinary office.

Qingxin followed the instructions and entered. The moment he stepped inside, the persistently high temperature within him suddenly spiked. If the temperature was originally only in the forties, it instantly rose to over sixty. This indicated that the barrier here was much stronger.

You've come to the right place.

Harunobu walked to his desk, casually picked up a few documents, and glanced at them. They were all ordinary papers, nothing special. Then he opened the drawers on either side of the desk. Of the six drawers, two were empty, and two contained tools and drugs that Harunobu disdained to use. In the last two drawers, one contained a loaded Mauser pistol, and the other contained...

Chapter 188

This notebook has a yellow cover.

Qingxin took out his notebook and casually flipped to a page.

A series of neat text appeared.

May 1st: 33 shipments

May 8th: Purchase of thirteen items

May 15th: Losses 2, Purchases 26

May 25: Total stock prepared: 51, with 1 lost; expected shipment: June 5.

June 5th: 55 shipments

June 6th: Eight items purchased

……

January 25th: A total of 77 items were prepared, including 8 rare items. Shipment is expected on February 12th.

Qingxin turned the page again, and the next page was blank; this was the last record.

Clearly, this is an account book.

Moreover, it was an account book that deliberately did not mention any unit or the name of the goods.

Qingxin's first thought was to take the ledger back, but he quickly thought of Nianzi. Even the "goods" were enchanted, so how could the ledger not be? Besides, even if he took the ledger back, it wouldn't be of much use, since it only showed the quantity of goods coming in and going out, and didn't even show income or expenses.

I can't even check the accounts.

"But at least we can be sure of the next shipment date." Harunobu looked at the last page of his notebook and wrote down February 12th.

Next, it's time to go find Ryuichi Suzuki.

Qingxin put the notebook back in its place, glanced at the Mauser pistol in the other drawer, hesitated for a moment but still didn't take it. It would be troublesome if that thing was also enchanted; he didn't lack another means of attack.

After restoring the scene to its original state, Harunobu returned to Nianzi's room. She was already asleep in bed; it seemed the previous vomiting of blood had indeed taken a heavy toll on her. Harunobu didn't disturb her and climbed out the window he had come in through.

With his Shimada-style stealth skills combined with Harunobu's current control, he silently passed through the conspicuous guards patrolling with lanterns and approached the five-story tower in another corner of the Suzuki Manor.

There were only two guards at the entrance of the five-story pagoda, but the atmosphere inside was quite tense, clearly indicating a relaxed exterior but a tight interior. However, it didn't matter; Harunobu had no intention of going inside.

Taking advantage of the absence of the patrolling guards, Harunobu jumped directly onto the first level of the five-story pagoda—the so-called five-story pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda with five layers of flying eaves, and the outer eaves are quite spacious, enough for people to run on, or even fight.

Then Harunobu used the same trick again, climbing all the way to the top of the five-story pagoda... and then returning to the next floor. There was no way around it; the fifth floor had no entrance, even though the first four floors all had windows.

Complaining about the strange building structure, Harunobu took advantage of the guard's turn and quickly rushed up the stairs to the fifth floor, arriving there without any trouble.

However, unlike the Japanese-style hall on the fourth floor, Harunobu was greeted by a closed door that completely blocked off the entire space on the fifth floor, leaving only a small area for people to stand in.

The layout was exactly the same as the third floor of the previous "warehouse," except the door was not open.

Qingxin stood at the door, the magical artifact in his arms beginning to heat up again, and he could hear strong breathing in his ear. There was someone in the room, and judging from the breathing, it was a very strong person, so strong that they seemed inhuman.

He reached for the hilt of Asauchi's sword, preparing for a dazzling entrance, but halfway through his hand, he suddenly elbowed someone behind him.

boom!

His elbow collided with the hand that had silently approached his back, producing a dull thud. The immense force of the impact made Harunobu frown.

Such power must be at the level of a monster! The Tongxin Society really did arrange for someone to protect Suzuki Ryuichi!

But does this skin feel like that of a female monster?

As Harunobu pondered, the person who attacked him was thinking the same thing.

Such immense strength, and yet no demonic aura about him—he's definitely a cyborg from the Tongxin Society! How could a normal human possess such power!

The hand that hadn't been smashed open had already closed its five fingers, grabbed his elbow, and twisted it, trying to break Qingxin's elbow joint. But Qingxin's body was far more resilient than the hand's owner had imagined; her hasty twisting move didn't budge Qingxin's joint at all.

In that brief moment of delay, Harunobu had already broken free of her grasp and turned around. The red Hannya mask met the white fox mask, except that behind the red Hannya mask was a normal human head, while the white fox mask truly had two furry, slightly trembling fox ears standing on it.

Not only that, but two fluffy golden tails also hung down behind her!

Beast-eared girl? !

wrong!

A two-tailed fox demon?!

Haruno didn't even notice his opponent's seven-foot-tall breasts and shapely legs at first; his attention was completely drawn to her furry ears and big tail.

good chance!

Although she didn't know why this bastard from the Dragon Clan was so curious about her ears and tail, even revealing blatant lust, the fox demon seized the opportunity. She swiftly stepped forward, her hands flashing out simultaneously, her fingernails extending rapidly into sharp claws, aiming for Qingxin's throat and chest respectively.

Having lost the initiative, Qingxin had no room to draw his sword and could only grit his teeth and clench his fist to meet the attack. However, compared to his swordsmanship, his hand-to-hand combat skills were only slightly better than average. As soon as he threw this straightforward punch, the fox demon burst into laughter.

She used her left claw to deflect Harunobu's heavy punch. The force of the blow made her gasp slightly, but her right claw, which was reaching for Harunobu's throat, was not affected in the slightest and continued to strike without slowing down.

Then Harunobu headbutted him, breaking off two of his claws.

Even a fox demon is not immune to the power of its own fingers. It immediately emitted a sharp, explosive sound. At the same time, its two tails lashed out from the left and right, attempting to entangle Qingxin's legs. However, Qingxin had already used the brief moment to create some distance, and seeing the two large tails attacking, he immediately bent down and drew his sword.

Flying Sword Style: Swift Sword Drawing Technique!

A flash of light appeared, and a few strands of golden hair fell to the ground.

At the last moment, the fox demon, who had shortened his tail, drew two thin-bladed daggers from his back and said in a deep voice, "Hira Harunobu?"

Qingxin looked at the fox demon and wondered if he was really wearing this mask for nothing, since everyone could recognize him.

At this moment, hurried footsteps and shouts came from inside the house and downstairs. It was clear that the commotion caused by the two of them fighting had alerted the guards, and it must have also alerted the people inside the house.

The fox demon took a step back and moved closer to the window: "Ping Qingxin, the person you're looking for isn't here. If you want to know more, come with me."

Before Qingxin could ask any further questions, the fox demon had already leaped backward and disappeared out of the window.

The door to the room on the fifth floor was pushed open from the inside, and a burly man stepped out: "Intruder—"

It is definitely not Ryuichi Suzuki.

Harunobu casually swung his sword, severing his head, and then passed through the window.

A group of guards rushed out from behind him: "Found it! It's here!!"

Chapter 177: The Fox Ninja Shiranui

The quiet manor was filled with the sharp whistles of war, and restless guards could be seen everywhere, shouting and brandishing their iron rods. But of course, they couldn't catch up with Qingxin and a fox spirit with two tails.

In fact, while they were still messing with each other and searching, Harunobu and the fox spirit had already left Suzuki Manor and arrived at a secluded corner.

The Sumida River flowed quietly by, its gentle murmur stirring the moonlight, which transformed into a thin veil, enveloping the two people on the bank. Harunobu had been completely blinded by the furry... I mean, the urge to kill, and hadn't carefully observed the fox demon. Now that the two stood calmly facing each other, he finally shifted his attention to the other parts of the fox demon.

My first thought was, "Tall! Really tall! Almost as tall as Harunobu!" If you include those fluffy ears, then...

Chapter 189

She's the same height as Harunobu, and if you include the [SR] rank, she's even taller than Harunobu. Naturally, her long legs are incredibly long and straight, probably even taller than a kitten.

—Of course, the kitten can't hear this, or she'll throw a tantrum.

Unfortunately, this vixen lady didn't resemble a vixen at all. Her attire was not revealing at all; on the contrary, it was unusually conservative. Pure black fabric tightly covered every inch of her skin, her hands and feet were hidden in leather gloves and boots, and even her face was covered by a white fox mask.

Logically speaking, such an outfit would likely blur the lines between male and female. But a vixen is a vixen; even dressed like this, every move she makes exudes a natural allure, as if she's deliberately provoking someone. Moreover, even this attire couldn't conceal her enormous breasts; instead, it accentuated her shapely, long legs.

In short, it's a super-sized vehicle, and the girl has fox ears.

Harunobu simply removed his mask, since the fox opposite him had already confirmed his identity with absolute certainty—that he was the one who had been exposed as the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.

“How about showing a little sincerity, Miss Fox?” Harunobu waved the red Hannya mask in his hand. “If you don’t even show your face, it’s hard for me to trust you.”

"Hmm..." The fox hesitated for a moment, then shook its head. "Sorry, I can't show you my face right now. I don't want to have another troublesome suitor like you."

"Should I call you narcissistic, or is this the confidence of a vixen?" Qingxin was speechless. "I'm not some... um..."

The fox demon shrugged: "You know it yourself, don't you? Lord Taira no Harunobu, the most lecherous man of the Taisho era."

"The Life of an Amorous Man," a erotic novel that circulated during the Edo period, tells the story of a man and his relationships with more than three thousand women.

"Would you believe me if I said this was slander?"

"Yes, of course I believe you, so let's get down to business."

Harunobu sighed helplessly: "Then at least give us your name, right?"

This time, the fox demon did not refuse, and generously said, "I am the sixty-fifth generation fire demon of Shiranui, and my name is naturally Shiranui Blue!"

"The fire demon from Shiranui...you're a ninja?" Harunobu asked in surprise. "Ninjas still exist in this era?"

And why are ninjas dressed so conservatively? Where's your seduction technique?

Fox spirits… Shiranui Ran seemed quite used to this, casually crossing her arms over her heavy chest: “The samurai are still alive, how could the ninjas disappear?”

"No, but after the Warring States period, ninjas practically disappeared, right?" Harunobu couldn't help but complain. "Even Fuma Kotaro was executed by the Tokugawa clan."

"The Village of Wind Demons doesn't represent all ninjas," Shiranui Ran snorted. "Besides, we're not here to discuss historical issues, are we?"

Someone got anxious.

However, Qingxin considerately didn't expose her, since he also wanted to talk about serious matters.

"Then let's start by asking why we attacked."

Shiranui Ran released her hands, and her full breasts trembled slightly under the pull of gravity, but ultimately maintained their firm shape. Normally, given Harunobu's character, he wouldn't have looked, but Shiranui Ran had said he was the most lecherous man of the Taisho era; wouldn't it be a disservice to her assessment if he didn't?

Hmm, she's still a bit behind Nako Tachibana, but she's already at Sachiko Hira's level.

Unfortunately, Shiranui Ran quickly realized something was wrong, raised her hand to protect her chest, and her angry gaze pierced through the white fox mask to land on Harunobu's face, but she couldn't penetrate the defense. She could only suppress her anger and say, "I treated you as a cyborg of the Demon Dragon Society, and you treated me as one of their subordinates, didn't you?"
