Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 254 Qingfang Master

"Mr. Mitsui, I wonder what may bring you here so late at night?" Chiba Yukio took a half step back and leaned against the screen, pinching his palms with his fingertips to barely keep his voice steady.

Mitsui Xuanyilang's greedy eyes swept over the undulating curves under her plain white tunic, and his Adam's apple rolled as he let out a hoarse laugh: "I heard that you had a guest here during the day. Who is it and where is it?"

Chiba Xuexi quickly shook her head: "You're joking, I just opened my business and I don't have any business yet..." She finally had a customer, a high-quality one, and she didn't want to have her business ruined by this old man.

However, she was rudely interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Haha, I have spies watching there. They said someone went in this morning and hasn't come out since. Since you don't want to tell me, I'll come and look for him." Mitsui Genichirō slapped his withered palm on the gilded incense burner, stirring up a few grains of scarlet ashes.

Several men rushed into the depths of the corridor like wolves and tigers.

"Don't wake my daughter..." Chiba Xuexi begged. She clenched her sleeves to hide her trembling and fear. She really didn't know how to deal with it. It wasn't that she didn't want to call the police, but it was useless.

Mitsui Xuanichiro has quite a background and can be said to be a bully in this county. She had called the police before, but this only led to the private bathhouse being closed down for rectification.

"Baby, as long as you promise me that you will serve me loyally in the future, everything will be over. Why can't you let it go?" Mitsui Genichirō stared at Chiba Yukio with envious eyes.

"Mr. Mitsui, please don't say such things again. I will remain faithful to my husband and cannot remarry." Chiba Yukio said.

Mitsui Xuanyilang said disdainfully: "I didn't ask you to marry again, I just asked you to serve me."

"Absolutely not, please don't force me anymore." Chiba Xuexi begged.

However, her pleading not only did not make Mitsui Xuanichiro feel sympathetic, but instead made him even more excited.

At this time, several men came back: "No one was found, sir."

"No one, sir."

"Have you been to that underground cave?"

"Uh, no." Several men said.

"Well, that's a secret place. It's normal that you don't know about it. It must be underneath there." Mitsui Genichirō said, and led the way to the underground cave.

Chiba Yukio's pupils shrank suddenly: "Really?" Although the gentleman is not here now, there are still traces of him living there. What if he is discovered by Mitsui Genichirō...

"He must be down there." Mitsui Genichirō laughed, but after taking a few steps, he stopped because Chiba Yukio didn't catch up.

"You two, catch her and bring her down! You, keep watch up there." Mitsui Genichirō ordered his men.

Immediately, two warriors held Chiba Yukio up on the left and right.

Chiba Xuexu struggled and begged for mercy: "No."

"Stop shouting! Your daughter will wake up if you shout again. You don't want to be insulted by me in front of your daughter, do you?" Mitsui Genichirō laughed.

"No..." Chiba Yukio was desperate.

"You asked for this. You refused to give in, so I had to use force. I gave you so many chances!" A vicious look flashed across Mitsui Genichirō's eyes. Originally, he hoped that Chiba Yukio would understand and serve him obediently and actively, but since the other party was unwilling, he didn't mind using tyrannical means.

In addition, he had coveted this private bathhouse for a long time. This private bathhouse has an excellent location, and the hot springs here have been famous for a hundred years. If he were to run it, it would definitely be popular all over Japan and become a high-end place, a goose that lays golden eggs. It would be a waste to leave it in the hands of Chiba Yukio, a widow.

Then, Chiba Yukio was covered with her mouth and dragged away. No matter how she struggled, how could she be a match for two strong warriors?

When she reached the underground cave, she cried out to the heavens and the earth for help, but no one answered. This place was very private.

Following Mitsui Genichirō's instructions, the two warriors tied Chiba Yukio to a stone chair beside the hot spring.

While struggling, Chiba Xuexi's hairpin fell into the hot spring, and her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded into the steaming mist of the hot spring like an inky waterfall.

Chiba Yukio had tears in her eyes and a towel stuffed in her mouth. As her clothes were taken off, she felt despair filling her heart.

Mitsui Genichirō's dry webbed hands stroked Chiba Yukio's smooth skin, as white as white jade, and his cloudy eyes glowed with animal light. When he leaned over and bit the knot, Chiba trembled all over. At this moment, an unusual roar suddenly came from the depths of the rock crevice, as if a sleeping earth dragon was turning over.

Mitsui and Chiba were both startled at the same time, thinking there was going to be an earthquake.

Chiba Xuexu felt a little eager and a little regretful: "If there was a big earthquake, I could bury this old man and keep my chastity. But what about my lovely daughters?"

Mitsui Xuanyilang was a little flustered, wondering how he could be so unlucky. Just as he was about to abandon the beauty in front of him and escape, a mysterious armored man appeared in the hot spring.

It was Li Xiang who came back.

"You are..." Mitsui Xuanyilang panicked. Isn't this the mysterious person who has been making a lot of noise recently? A suspected alien?
Chiba Xuexu: "..."

As Li Xiang raised his hand, a fine icy sword energy shot out, and Mitsui Xuanyilang fell to the ground slowly. No blood was seen.

This was a more covert method of killing that Li Xiang had figured out. The icy sword energy was like a thin thread that penetrated into the opponent's heart and cut off the opponent's life. However, the skin wound was only the size of a needle tip and was frozen by the icy energy of the sword energy, so that no blood could flow out.

It was called the Ice Sword Qi, but in fact it was just a sharp energy that could be thick or thin, large or small. Although he had not deliberately improved this ability, he was now at the eighth level, and his spiritual power was far stronger than that of the extraordinary people of the same level, so the power of this ability was quite impressive.

Chiba Xuexu: "..."

Li Xiang's sword finger lightly drew, and three elegant sword qi shot out, untying the shackles on Qianye Xuexu. Her hands were tied together, but her legs were tied apart on the stone chair, so three times were needed.

Chiba Xuexi was amazed. Li Xiang's supernatural power just now cut the rope without hurting her at all. It was simply a magical skill. The accuracy was even better than the frost blade used by the old craftsman in Kyoto to cut open a tuna.

She hurriedly bent down to pick up her clothes and put them on, then pulled the towel out of her mouth and bowed to Li Xiang: "Thank you, thank you..." Her eyes were full of tears and she was almost sobbing.

"What's wrong with this old man?" Li Xiang asked, sitting on the stone chair.

"Ah? You are..." Chiba Xuexu was surprised. Although she had vaguely guessed that it was Li Xiang before, she had never seen his true face after all. When she heard Li Xiang's familiar voice, she couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.

Li Xiang nodded.

Chiba Xuexi then knelt down beside Li Xiang and began to tell the story.

"I am a widow..."

Her original surname was Sakurai, but after getting married, she took her husband's surname and changed it to Chiba. She has a pair of twin daughters. As the saying goes, there are many troubles around a widow, let alone such a young and beautiful widow.

She is only twenty-seven years old, which means she is only one year older than Li Xiang.

"That man is called Mitsui Genichirō. He not only covets my body, but also wants to seize my family's ancestral private bathhouse. This man has some influence here, and his family is a member of the Niki Society."

"Nimukai? Is it the Mitsui Group?" Li Xiang suddenly laughed. Isn't this his next target?

"Well, they control the Mitsui Group, one of the six largest conglomerates in Japan, with a variety of complicated relationships and connections," said Chiba Yukio.

There are six major financial groups in Japan, namely Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa and Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank, which actually control more than 60% of Japan's economic lifeline.

Although they rarely appear directly in the name of a consortium, their influence permeates key areas such as finance, manufacturing, and technology, and they are the "behind-the-scenes manipulators" of Japan's economy and politics.

After World War II, the U.S.-led policy of dismantling chaebols forced the conglomerates to transform into modernized corporate alliances with cross-holdings, and surname control was replaced by shareholding and financial capital. In other words, there is no "behind-the-scenes boss" or single controlling family in the traditional sense.

"You just said your two daughters are twins? What are their names?"

Chiba Xuexu was stunned, not knowing why Li Xiang was paying attention to this, but she still told him the truth, because Li Xiang was her savior. If it weren't for Li Xiang, she would definitely be miserable tonight.

"One is called Chiba Chaolu, the other is called Chiba Xiwu, both are only five years old."

Li Xiang: "..." He sighed inwardly, what a fate. They are twins, and their names and ages match, so it's probably right.

"Sir, if this old man dies here, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble afterwards. Why don't you leave first?" Chiba Xuexu looked at the corpse on the ground, very worried.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I have an unreasonable request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"explain."

"I want to entrust my two daughters to you. You can adopt them as goddaughters and take them back to China, because... I will probably go to jail." Mitsui Genichirō died in her private bathhouse. She absolutely cannot get rid of the relationship. She doesn't care about going to jail or dying, but her two daughters are still young. What should she do? Entrusting them to Li Xiang is the best solution she can think of.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "Why are you afraid of a mere Mitsui Group? Wait for me for one night, and no one will come looking for you in the future."

Seeing Li Xiang stand up, Chiba Xuexu remembered something and said quickly: "There are three more warriors up there."

"It's okay." Li Xiang waved his hand, his figure flashed and disappeared into the rock wall.

Chiba Xuexi: "..." Then, she was horrified to find that the old man's body on the ground was gone.

"This gentleman is truly... a god." Chiba Xuexi sighed, and then he began to yearn: "If Chaolu and Yugiri can really worship him as their foster father, then in the future..."

Naturally, the body of Mitsui Genichirō was put into the system warehouse by Li Xiang just now. When he came to the underground several hundred meters away and several hundred meters deep, he threw out the body of the old man.

Then, escape to the surface.

The three warriors were still waiting in the corridor, whispering and talking about their boss's current good fortune. All three of them were very envious.

"Who is it?" The three warriors were terrified when they saw the mysterious armored man appear.

Soon, the three disappeared. Li Xiang crushed them like ants, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

The next day, a sensational news once again caused a stir in Japan.

The Mitsui Group collapsed overnight, and the families of the main members of the Nikikai were all looted.

When the top executives of the consortium are on business trips, they cannot take the same plane to avoid accidents at the same time, which will cause problems in the group's operations. But now, all the top executives of the Mitsui Consortium, including some middle-level executives, hundreds of people have died, which is much more tragic than taking the same flight.

Chiba Yukio was trembling with fear all day. She did not open the shop again, but planned to hide behind closed doors. During this period, the police did come to her house to question her, but they just took notes as a routine matter. She said that Mitsui Genichirō had come, but left soon after.

In fact, Mitsui Genichirō's status in the entire Nikikai is not worth mentioning. There are many more powerful people than him, but this matter just let it go.

Because no one would think that a weak widow like Chiba Yukio has that ability.

"I wonder if that gentleman will come back?" At night, Chiba Xuexu came to the cave bath again, looking forward to the appearance of the armored man. She felt that what she experienced last night was like a dream.

"Maybe, he has left and will never come back." Chiba Xuexu felt a little lost. When she was about to leave to see her daughter, the rock wall shook slightly. She turned her head to look and saw Li Xiang's figure slowly emerging.

"Sir..." Chiba Xuexi was inexplicably excited, and her plump body trembled slightly.

Li Xiang waved his hand: "Why don't you go to bed and wait for me here?"

"Well, yes, I'm waiting for you." Qianye Xuexu glanced at Li Xiang, lowered her head, and pursed her red lips. "Why don't I help you undress and serve you in the bath?"

Li Xiang was stunned and said quickly: "No need."

Chiba Xuexu gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt down, walked forward on both knees, and hugged Li Xiang's thighs: "I hope the master will have mercy on me and accept Xuexu and his two daughters."

As a widow, she ran a private bathhouse with her twin daughters, and the difficulties were beyond words. Now she finally met a strange man with such great magical powers, who was also the lifesaver of her and her daughter. Chiba Xuexu felt that she had to seize this opportunity no matter what. If she missed it, she might regret it for the rest of her life.

Li Xiang: "..."

In fact, he was somewhat tempted. After all, those were twin magatama, and in terms of qualifications, they might not be inferior to Luo Feifei.

He had taken away the special geological veins of Mount Fuji, and cut off Japan's national destiny. The twin magatama might not have the same fate as in their previous lives in the future, but it would be a waste to let such good material and beautiful jade be buried.

"Master, let Yukio help you bathe. Nothing to do, just bathe."

"Master" in Japanese is actually the name that the wife uses to address her husband. Of course, many new-age women are disgusted by such a name, but many women still use it.

The maid industry also calls male guests "masters", adding "御" as a respectful title. 御读goごしゅじん (御主).

It can be said that maid culture has always been a spiritual pillar in Japan's two-dimensional world. After all, Japanese comics are among the best in the world, and many maid industries have been born from this, such as maid restaurants, maid cafes, maid gyms, etc.

Chiba Yukio is experienced. She knows that as long as there is the first step, there will be the second step. It is impossible for the two of them to be naked and have nothing happen.

Faced with temptation, Li Xiang still resisted, waved his hand and said: "You go and have a rest first, let me meet your two daughters tomorrow."

Chiba Xuexu: "..."

"Sorry to bother you, Master, please have a good rest, see you tomorrow!" Chiba Xuexu felt a little ashamed, bowed repeatedly, and walked away in small steps. However, it was a good thing that the master was willing to see her daughter, and there might be a turn for the better.

At the same time, Chiba Xuexiu admired Li Xiang more and more, and felt that her master was indeed a gentleman. He would not eat such delicious food as hers, unlike that old man who was so lustful and evil.

The next day, Chiba Xuexu came down with her two daughters and asked to see Li Xiang.

In order to avoid trouble, Li Xiang has been living in this underground cave these days and has not gone upstairs.

He stayed here, firstly to have a place to rest, and secondly, he still wanted to see the quality of the twin magatama.

"What pretty little girls." Li Xiang couldn't help but like the twin babies when he saw them. They were delicate and beautiful, indeed little beauties.

"Call me godfather. From now on, this uncle will be your father." Chiba Xuexi taught the two children.

"Father."

"Father."

The two daughters are very well-behaved and have childish voices.

"Be good, come and hug your godfather." Li Xiang picked up the two little girls and teased them. Although the two girls did not understand Chinese, it did not prevent them from giggling.

Chiba Xuexi's anxious heart finally relaxed.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "I will teach you a way to save your life. Whether you can master it depends on your understanding."

He was unsure, after all, the twin magatama were so young, only five years old. But it didn't hurt to give it a try.

Chiba Xuexu was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. His eyes sparkled and he said, "Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, godfather." Chiba Chaolu and Chiba Yugiri also said repeatedly, their childish voices sweet.

Immediately, Li Xiang picked out a breathing method and taught them, while feeding them spiritual fruits.

To Li Xiang's surprise, Chiba Chaolu and Chiba Yugiri were fine. Although they learned well, they were still young and didn't know the right method. However, Chiba Xuexi quickly developed spiritual power.

"Oh my god, this mother is also a natural talent." Li Xiang muttered, and looked at Chiba Xuexu with a bit of admiration.

Over the next few days, Li Xiang trained the mother and her two daughters in the private bathhouse during the day, and went out at night to plunder all of Japan, continuing his previous plan, but he would rush back to rest before dawn.

After all, Japan is not that big, and its cruising speed is 2.8 Mach, so it won’t take much time.

Five days later, under the guidance and feeding of Li Xiang, Chiba Xuexu actually condensed the first spiritual power vortex in one fell swoop and became a first-level transcendent.

"What is your first superpower?" Li Xiang asked.

Chiba Xuexu didn't dare to hide it, and said immediately: "It's Master Qingfang."

"Master Qingfang?" Li Xiang was curious.

Then, Chiba Xuexiu showed up, and a nun with a graceful figure and unparalleled beauty in a green monk robe appeared in the room.

Only the right eye of this beautiful nun is exposed, with the pupil emitting a faint blue light. Her left eye is covered by a black lace eyepatch, like a pirate's eyepatch.

Actually one-eyed.

One-eyed nun.

There are golden scriptures and talismans on her neck, and she holds a giant wooden fish in her hands.

Li Xiang nodded. This shikigami was quite powerful and should be able to keep him safe. As for the twin magatama, when they get older, they should also enter the extraordinary realm.

"Master, let me and Master Qingfang help you bathe together?" Chiba Xuexu knelt down again and begged. She felt that only by truly giving herself to the master could she gain his trust.

Li Xiang waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. If you are loyal, I will know it. If you betray me, I will have my own way to deal with you."

"Xuexu would never dare to betray me." Chiba Xuexu thought to himself, how could I be so ungrateful to such a good partner? Unfortunately, my master was too upright and refused to take me in. Could it be that he didn't like my beauty? That shouldn't be possible, right?

"Master, can you let Xuexi and your two daughters see your true face? This way, Chaolu and Yugiri will remember you and won't forget you." Chiba Xuexi thought about it and settled for the second best.

"Okay." As the top fighter on the planet, Li Xiang didn't really care about his identity being exposed. He took off his mask, and Chiba Xuexu looked up and was stunned for a moment, thinking, "He's so handsome, more handsome than I thought."

Afterwards, she brought her twin daughters over. When Chiba Chaolu and Chiba Xigiri saw Li Xiang's true appearance, they liked him very much and felt closer to him.

Li Xiang picked them up. The two little girls were very well-behaved. They came up to Li Xiang at the same time and kissed him on the left and right.

Chiba Xuexiong couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"I will teach them to speak Chinese in the future. Master, please come back more often. Come and visit us when you are free, or even spend a vacation here." Chiba Xuexiong said.

Li Xiang nodded: "Now that you have the protection of Qingfangzhu, it's time for me to go."

Chiba Yukio and her twin daughters were immediately reluctant to leave.

Chiba Yukio said, "Let Yukio prepare a sumptuous dinner to thank the host."

Li Xiang nodded, then trained the two twins and guided them in their practice. The twin magatama were indeed amazing. They were only five years old, but very smart, and spiritual power had already grown in their bodies. It was estimated that they would become first-level extraordinary people earlier than Li Xiang expected.

Chiba Yukio showed off her cooking skills and made many delicious dishes, including prawn sashimi arranged in a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum pattern, maple syrup-colored tempura platter (shrimp + maitake mushroom + shiso leaf), salt-grilled mackerel, buttered scallops, salmon tea rice, ginger-roasted pork, tuna belly sushi, cheese baked toast, seaweed vinegar, pork bone ramen, clam miso soup, and she also warmed up a pot of plum wine. She served Li Xiang with utmost tenderness.

Unfortunately, Li Xiang eventually disappeared into the twilight. Chiba Xuexu looked at the deserted building, feeling lost.

The bamboo tube in the corridor was knocked three times in vain, and she finally reached out and touched the cushion where Li Xiang had sat, and hugged it tightly in her arms. Perhaps, she should carefully bury a few jars of fine wine, and wait to warm them up and taste them with Danna in the future.

Now that Chiba Yukio has Aoandon, he has never been bullied again. The quality of the hot springs in this private bathhouse is excellent, so the business has naturally become increasingly popular.

In her spare time, she hand-painted a portrait of Li Xiang and placed it in her bedroom, replacing the original portrait of her husband.
