Rena Mizunashi turned around in surprise, and Akatsuka Kaze was right behind her.

"You, what are you doing in the house?"

"Didn't I tell you that I had to complete a task this morning and that I wanted you to get up early? Who knew you would sleep for so long?"

Chi Chufeng pursed his lips and opened the door.

They arrived behind the large garbage bag that Rena Mizunashi had piled up next to the door last night.

"Little friend, you rang the doorbell just now, didn't you?"

Behind a garbage bag that was a meter high, a little boy, about seven years old, was looking at him timidly.

Chi Chufeng smiled gently: "Little one, don't be afraid. I'm just curious about who kept ringing the doorbell to wake her up. She wants to thank that kind child properly!"

"Huh? Is it true?"

Akatsukaze winked at the bewildered Rena Mizunashi.

Rena Mizunashi immediately understood and smiled, "Yes, little one, don't be afraid!"

Upon hearing this, the little boy finally hesitated before stepping out from behind the trash bag.

"Little brother, why do you insist on ringing my doorbell every Saturday?" Rena Mizunashi gently stroked the boy's head and asked softly.

“Because…” the little boy stammered.

“I think he must have misunderstood,” Chi Chufeng said with a smile. “The doorbell prank started two months ago, when Miss Mizunashi had just switched from the 7 a.m. news to the evening news.”

"This little brother didn't see Ms. Mizunashi on the 7 o'clock news, so he assumed she had overslept and rang the doorbell at 6:30 to wake her up."

"The reason it's on Saturday is partly because the 7 AM show airs on Saturdays, and partly because elementary school students don't have to go to school on Saturdays. If he rings the doorbell at 6:30, he can make it home in time to watch the 7 AM show, 'Miss Mizunashi, are you there?'"

Chi Chufeng laughed and said, "Every time he rang the doorbell, he would go back and find that Miss Mizunashi still hadn't appeared at 7 a.m. So he assumed that you were too tired and had poor sleep quality, so he couldn't wake you up by ringing the doorbell. So he gave you that bottle of sleeping pills."

"Is that so, little brother?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

The little boy nodded: "Yes! Because my mom said that eating this will help me sleep well."

"I see. Then why are you paying so much attention to me, little one?" Rena Mizunashi asked curiously.

The little boy lowered his head slightly, pouted, and said, "Because you look a lot like my mother!"

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes: "Last year, my mother died in a car accident, so, so..."

Suddenly, Rena Mizunashi placed her hands on the little boy's shoulders, gazing at him calmly and gently, and whispered:

"Little brother, I understand your sadness at losing your mother, but if you keep worrying about her, won't she be worried in heaven?"

The little boy stared blankly at Rena Mizunashi.

Rena Mizunashi rubbed the boy's head again.

"Since you're a boy, you need to be strong. You can't come here anymore! This is not only for your mother's sake, but also for your own. Understand?"

Rena Mizunashi's soft words gradually calmed the boy's heart.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, then flashed a bright smile and nodded emphatically: "Okay! I understand! Goodbye, sister!"

As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the stairwell and soon disappeared from their sight.

Rena Mizunashi stood up and watched from the balcony as the little boy walked down the stairs until he completely disappeared.

Rena Mizunashi slightly raised her hand and wiped away the tear stains from the corner of her eye.

Feeling Chi Chufeng's gaze beside her, she snapped out of her reverie and smiled sheepishly.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the past..."

Rena Mizunashi suddenly stopped.

She realized who she was talking to.

"Did you remember your younger brother?" Chi Chufeng asked casually.

"Wh-what? How do you know about the garden?"

Rena Mizunashi was stunned.

Looking at the somewhat panicked girl, Chi Chufeng said calmly, "I am an Onmyoji; no secret can escape my eyes."

Rena Mizunashi couldn't help but take a step back.

"Alright, the mission is complete. I should head back now. See you later, Ms. Minami."

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly as he turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Rena Mizunashi's heart couldn't help but churn with emotion.

What exactly does he know?

Chapter 374 Shuichi Akai, I want your life!

Back home, Chi Chufeng went straight to Vermouth's room.

Although she was always there, Gin and the others couldn't find her at all, and Vermouth herself couldn't get out either.

To put it simply, all you need to do is turn the door into a portal.

Gin pushed open the door and entered another room.

With the same layout everywhere, it was difficult for them to notice anything unusual.

Vermouth was putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

She was completely naked, and when she saw Chi Chufeng enter, she didn't try to hide herself, but instead deliberately put on a seductive expression.

This girl has turned back into the Thousand-Faced Witch.

I don't know if she was just giving up or if she felt that Chi Chufeng couldn't do anything to her.

After all, the Onmyoji is quite tolerant of his women.

Seeing her like this, Chi Chufeng helplessly pursed his lips.

"Pack up and get ready to go back."

He said calmly.

"Go back? You'll let me go?"

Vermouth's eyes widened.

"Correct."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about you?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Vermouth's eyes.

"Heh." Chi Chufeng chuckled. "Do you think I'm afraid?"

Vermouth paused for a moment.

Indeed, what we fear now is the Black Organization.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have required Rena Mizunashi to use a request to lure Akasoka away before Gin and his generals dared to enter the building to investigate.

"Besides, if I were to reveal all these things, I probably wouldn't be the one who gets hurt."

Chi Chufeng sat down next to the woman and smoothed her golden hair.

"Without my help, you wouldn't even be able to explain your whereabouts during this period, let alone gain the organization's trust."

Vermouth looked at the man in the mirror and suddenly asked, "Am I your woman now?"

Hearing this question, Chi Chufeng was somewhat surprised.

He thought for a moment and nodded.

We're not the kind of people who would eat something and then deny it.

Vermouth pursed her lips, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, seemingly a little pleased with herself.

"Then I'll listen to you. Anyway, I have no other choice."

She continued applying eyeliner, saying, "However, it's not easy to avoid arousing Gin's suspicion."

"Of course, so I've prepared a big gift for you."

"What?" Vermouth asked curiously.
