Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"Sister Xiaomu isn't exactly a true older sister either; we're both the same," Xia Mu said with a smile.

"That…"

Sakurai Kogure leaned closer, her hair brushing against Natsuki's face, and smiled alluringly, "Let's get to know each other again, under different identities?"

"Humph."

Jormungandr snorted coldly.

"Since I'm in your car, of course I'm prepared."

Xia Mu placed his hand between her and himself, winked, and said, "But this time we don't need to use seduction. We already have a basis for cooperation, don't we?"

Sakurai Kogure paused, then a smile curved her lips: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend?"

"Um…"

Xia Mu looked out the window and said slowly, "The Snake-Headed Eight Families are our common enemy, aren't they?"

Sakurai Kogure breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true."

Xia Mu gazed blankly out the window.

Two years later, he has once again entered the huge vortex of Tokyo. The difference is that last time he was a struggling fish, but now he is a great shark stirring up the storm.

Neither Tachibana Masamune nor Sakurai Kogure could have guessed from which angle he would intervene in this vortex.

"Is the extreme optimism still there?"

Natsuki and Sakurai Kogure got off the car and saw the familiar building.

"I've moved to three different places. The Snake Clan isn't just doing nothing; they're keeping an eye on me every day."

Sakurai Kogure led the way, her alluring figure swaying back and forth.

"Humph."

Jormungandr snorted again.

Xia Mu chuckled inwardly.

I thought Erii would be a shock to her, but I didn't expect Sakurai Kogure to be even more destructive.

"Huh? This room..."

Xia Mu followed her into the elevator and went up to the top floor, only to find that the room layout was almost exactly the same as the one in the basement.

"The decorations are all the same, and you're still living here. Are you satisfied?" Sakurai Kogure said with a smile.

"I'm satisfied, but you probably won't reserve the room for me, will you? Who is it reserved for?"

Xia Mu sat down on the sofa without any hesitation and stretched.

I was already tired, and after a day of walking around Tokyo, I'm even more exhausted.

"What does it matter who it's for? No one has stayed here overnight for two years."

Sakurai Kogure knelt down in front of him and reached out to help him take off his shoes.

Xia Mu watched in amazement as she gently massaged his feet to relieve his fatigue, and asked curiously, "Why do you always do this? Aren't we business partners?"

Sakurai Kogure paused for a moment, then continued, "I forgot..."

Xia Mu silently sized her up for a few moments, then frowned slightly: "He hasn't come back for two years? Why?"

Sakurai Kogure lowered her eyes and silently massaged his calves: "He's very possessive. Since he's using me to win you over, he naturally won't touch me anymore."

Xia Mu scratched his head.

Does Kazama Ruri only realize Sakurai Kogure is the girl he likes after he loses her? Or is he just a brother complex guy...?

"You seem very tired. Shall I give you a full-body massage?" Sakurai Kogure asked, looking up at him.

Xia Mu smiled enigmatically: "A divinely bestowed hand?"

Sakurai Kogure furrowed her brow and smoothed her hair: "Do you dare?"

"Come."

Xia Mu lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Give it your all, the task of stimulating Jormungandr is now in your hands!

His quick agreement made Sakurai Kogure a little suspicious: "You didn't come for Uesugi Erii? Is this really a good idea?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Mu opened his eyes inexplicably. "Isn't this a massage? What are you trying to do?"

Sakurai Kogure's pretty face slowly flushed red: "It reminded me of that massage..."

"Um... it was you who was supporting me..."

Xia Mu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shut his mouth.

"Holding on what?" Jormungandr asked.

"nothing…"

"Humph."

Sakurai Kogure took out ear-cleaning tools, essential oils, scrapers, etc. from the cabinet and arranged them next to the sofa. She knelt down under his sofa and served him in the most humble manner.

"You are the official leader of the Fierce Ghost Clan. Don't you feel ashamed to do such a thing?" Xia Mu asked with his eyes closed.

Sakurai Kogure gently massaged his shoulders, laughing self-deprecatingly, "I'm just someone the king is pushing out to take the fall. When it's time to give up, he won't hesitate for a second."

Her technique was very professional, which gradually relaxed Xia Mu's body.

Under the warm light, the delicate fragrance of sandalwood wafted from the incense burner, quietly wafting through the room.

"Kazama Ruri must mean something special to you, right? Is he the light in your heart?" Natsuki asked.

Sakurai Kogure paused for a moment while massaging his earlobe, her eyes slightly dazed, but she quickly recovered and continued her movements.

"Ghosts like us don't know when we'll go mad and die. The so-called path to godhood is just a pipe dream. If it weren't for that light in our hearts, we might have already burned ourselves out..."

Xia Mu closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment for a while, then asked, "Do many members of your Fierce Ghost Clan really go berserk suddenly?"

“Yes, every now and then a new batch of people will turn into Deadpools,” Kogure Sakurai said. “So it’s not just the Snake Clan that’s constantly eliminating Deadpools, we’re doing it ourselves.”

"I mean, have you ever seen someone suddenly turn into Deadpool?"

Sakurai Kogure paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No, it all happened overnight."

A mocking smile appeared on Xia Mu's lips: "So, everything is just what the King said, isn't it? He told you which people were transformed into Dead Servants, and you believed him."

Kogure Sakurai paused for a moment: "I had my suspicions too, but unfortunately those Deadpools really do have the faces of my former comrades."

"Didn't you ever suspect that someone created Deadpool?"

Xia Mu chuckled softly, "As far as I know, you've been researching bloodline enhancement potions. So let me ask you, don't you need test subjects during the research process? And if a test subject fails... what do you think is the most likely outcome?"

Deadpool!

Sakurai Kogure blurted it out.

Her chest heaved, and she remained silent for a long time.

Xia Mu didn't rush her.

"That's just your guess..."

Sakurai Kogure continued to massage his head.

"Let me remind you, with me here, neither the King nor Kazama Ruri can control you anymore," Xia Mu said.

Sakurai Kogure was taken aback, her eyes narrowing slightly: "So you're not here to cooperate with us, you're here to poach people."

Xia Mu smiled but remained silent.

Chapter 263 Sakurai Kogure's Stance

"You are nothing but a pitiful bunch, and of course the Snake Clan is the same."

Natsuki tilted her head to the side, letting Sakurai Kogure gently scrape her earlobe with an ear pick; the indescribable touch and sound were extremely comfortable.

"The same goes for the Snake-Headed Eight Families?"

Sakurai Kogure knew that his words were dangerous and that if she listened any longer, she might fall into an abyss, but she had a gut feeling, a gut feeling that could change her future.

“You originally belonged to the same side, even from the same family, but you were forced to separate and fight each other for more than ten years. Isn’t that pitiful?” Xia Mu said calmly.

Sakurai Kogure remained silent.

"Are you trying to say that all of this is a conspiracy? That we've been at odds with the Snake Clan for over a decade, and that we were actually being manipulated?" she asked in a low voice.

Are you sure you want to keep listening?

A mysterious smile appeared on Xia Mu's face under the warm light. "If you keep listening, you might not be the person you are now."

"What else can we do? It's just a matter of whether he's risking his life for you or for him..."

Sakurai Kogure ran her slender hand through Natsuki's hair, tucking the strands that had fallen onto his face back into place. She then took some essential oil in her hands, rubbed it to warm it, and gently pressed it against Natsuki's shoulders and neck, massaging downwards little by little.

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, Sakurai Kogure wasn't in his plan, because she would always be with Kazama Ruri, but now…

This woman lacks a sense of belonging, but Kazama Ruri is no longer giving her that.

It's like a pie falling from the sky!

"I took a picture at Genji Heavy Industries today, it's quite interesting, take a look."

He took out his phone, opened the photo album, and held it up to her eyes.

Sakurai Kogure glanced at it, looked away at him again, then looked at the screen once more, and said hesitantly, "Nice body... but I've seen it... live..."

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at his phone and his face turned red with embarrassment... It was a picture of his upper body muscles that he had taken out of a daze one day.

"She saw it? The live version? What's your relationship with her?" Jormungandr asked.

Although the voice was still calm and unremarkable, Xia Mu imagined it as the sound of someone gritting their teeth.

"Hey…"
