After hearing Dechuan Qianxiang’s words, Lu Tianxing glanced faintly at Dechuan Qianxiang and said coldly, "Miss Asaka, you should know, I don’t want to waste my time on these useless things."

"Lord Tianxing, I beg you to help me kill him, okay? As long as you help me kill him, Asaka is willing to serve you like an ox and horse for the rest of her life."

Dechuan Qianxiang looked at Lu Tianxing with a face full of pleading.

"Is he very powerful?"

"Peak of Mid-stage Mythical." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Dechuan Qianxiang’s eyes, and she said, "But, Lord Tianxing, don’t worry. I can create an opportunity for you."

Lu Tianxing did not immediately refuse but pondered for a moment, looked at Dechuan Qianxiang, and said, "How long until this person reaches the mountain top?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang knew that Lu Tianxing had already agreed. A look of surprise flashed across her pretty face, and she immediately said, "Fifteen minutes."

"Lead the way!"

Lu Tianxing nodded. Killing a Peak of Mid-stage Mythical is effortless, and there’s still a long way to the mountain top, so there’s no need to worry about Ashida Ikeda noticing this place.

Upon hearing this, Dechuan Qianxiang flashed an uncontrollable look of excitement on her face, said nothing more, and led Lu Tianxing straight towards a nearby small courtyard.

Soon, two figures appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was nestled halfway up the mountain, surrounded by fences, giving a sense of a hermit’s secluded retreat.

Dechuan Qianxiang stopped in front of the fence and said to Lu Tianxing, "He is here. I will lure him out, and then you can directly kill him."

"I know what to do."

Lu Tianxing glanced at Dechuan Qianxiang, "Remember, this is the last time. If it happens again, you should know the consequences."

"I promise this is the last time."

Dechuan Qianxiang felt the somewhat cold tone of Lu Tianxing, slightly wary in her heart, slightly bowed to Lu Tianxing, said nothing further, and pushed open the door, walking into the courtyard.

As Dechuan Qianxiang stepped into the courtyard, Lu Tianxing’s figure disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, Dechuan Qianxiang walked into the courtyard and stood in the center of the yard: "Shimada Ryunosuke, I, Dechuan Qianxiang, have come."

Dechuan Qianxiang’s voice was as crisp and pleasant as the call of a lark. Although not too loud, it clearly reached the room inside.

Before Dechuan Qianxiang’s voice fell, a voice had already come from the room.

"Miss Asaka, have you decided? Are you planning to become my bedfellow?"

A dry, exceptionally harsh voice came from the room.

Along with the voice, the light sword’s door was instantly opened, and a ghostly figure darted out from the room, appearing in front of Dechuan Qianxiang in the blink of an eye.

The figure wore a kimono, with a katana on his waist, a typical Japanese samurai attire.

If this attire were on a normal person, it might be handsome, but when placed on a hunchbacked old man standing at only 1.45 meters, looking like a dwarf, it was exceptionally ugly.

Lu Tianxing, hidden in the shadows, considered himself to have seen quite a few ugly people, but he had never seen someone as ugly as Shimada Ryunosuke. Standing next to Dechuan Qianxiang, he was no less than a toad beside a swan, and this toad was the ugliest of all toads.

As Shimada Ryunosuke looked at Dechuan Qianxiang, his eyes were filled with wickedness, with a bare gaze that seemed to strip Dechuan Qianxiang of her clothes, glowing cruelly.

Feeling Shimada Ryunosuke’s lustful gaze, Dechuan Qianxiang’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, a cold murderous intent flashed deep in her eyes but quickly vanished without a trace, hidden so well that even Shimada Ryunosuke didn’t notice.

"Asaka, I don’t know whether you’ve come to see me tonight because you’ve figured things out and plan to sleep with me?"

Shimada Ryunosuke’s lustful gaze lingered over Dechuan Qianxiang, "Asaka, I told you a long time ago, it is no longer the shogunate period. Your Dechuan Family isn’t as powerful as it was during the shogunate. Without my intervention, your Dechuan Family is bound to be annihilated by the Shankou Family. If you agree to become my woman, I can plead with Shankou Ikoh to spare your Dechuan Family once, what do you think?"

While speaking, Shimada Ryunosuke’s gaze uncontrollably roamed over Dechuan Qianxiang, and his breathing turned rapid. Dechuan Qianxiang is a beautiful woman, even called Tokyo’s number one beauty, and being able to pin down such an exquisite woman is undoubtedly the most proud moment of his life.

"It’s a pity that Mukogawa Emiko died, otherwise, pinning this mother and daughter down together, how delightful would that be?"

Regret flashed in Shimada Ryunosuke’s eyes. Otherwise, tonight would definitely be the most triumphant night of his life.

"Can you really help the Dechuan Family?"

Listening to Shimada Ryunosuke’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang bit her lip, her face showing a tinge of anxiety, as if she was genuinely seeking Shimada Ryunosuke’s help this time.

Lu Tianxing hidden in the shadows watched Dechuan Qianxiang’s performance and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Women, truly born actresses. If he didn’t know Dechuan Qianxiang intends to kill Shimada Ryunosuke, he might’ve almost believed Dechuan Qianxiang was seeking Shimada Ryunosuke’s aid.

Upon hearing Dechuan Qianxiang’s words, Shimada Ryunosuke’s eyes immediately radiated a brilliant light. He had been secluded here all this time without contact with the outside world, unaware of Tokyo’s situation, but now Dechuan Qianxiang appeared here, clearly indicating the Shankou Family has begun to formally suppress the Dechuan Family, otherwise, why else would Dechuan Qianxiang seek him tonight? As for why she came at night, she must be afraid of others’ peculiar gazes.

One must admit, sometimes men’s ability to imagine is scarier than women’s.

"Miss Asaka, I have said it many times. As long as you sleep with me, I can make the Shankou Family spare the Dechuan Family once."

"Really? Can you really ensure the Dechuan Family’s safety?" Dechuan Qianxiang asked again, with a touch of concealed vulnerability on her face.
