"it is good."

Xia Mu nodded.

Kazama Ruri extended a hand to him: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Xia Mu looked at his hand with curiosity: "Does shaking hands express friendliness?"

Ruri Kazama: "..."

"You continue to approach him, taking advantage of his cooperation."

Before leaving, he whispered instructions to Sakurai Kogure.

Sakurai Kogure was surprised and disappointed: "He was already prepared to cooperate, why do you still need me...?"

"Only what you have in your own hands is trustworthy."

Ruri Kazama left.

Sakurai Kogure was left heartbroken...

Chapter Sixty-Four: Teach Me Massage

[The opportunity channel is now open.]

After Sakurai Kogure saw Kazama Ruri off, composed herself, and swayed seductively towards him once again, she found Natsuki already fast asleep on the bed.

"What a child..."

She was both amused and exasperated.

She felt a sense of closeness to Xia Mu because they were both "ghosts" in the same family.

Meanwhile, Kazama Ruri, being a fellow victim of the Bangzi opera, developed a sense of identification with it.

In addition, his innocent and naive persona makes it seem even easier for him to infiltrate the Demon Clan than to integrate into the Snake Clan.

After all, the members of the Snake Clan only respected the head of the Uesugi family, but did not identify with him.

"Ugh…"

Sakurai Kogure sighed softly, pulled up the hem of her dress, sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned wearily against the headboard, and stared blankly at Natsuki.

Her gaze was in this direction, but it wasn't focused.

For her, life was nothing more than chasing a ray of light in the darkness; even though her heart yearned for the light, her body remained in darkness.

"I really want to bask in the sunlight..."

She curled up, burying her face in her knees…

"what--"

Just then, a scream woke her up.

Sakurai Kogure jumped up in a flash, pulled out a dagger from somewhere, and looked wary.

Then she saw Xia Mu rubbing his head, sitting up with a look of lingering fear on his face.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Sakurai Kogure awkwardly put away her weapon.

She sat down next to Xia Mu, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Um…"

Xia Mu nodded.

In reality, he was once again crushed into powder by Her Majesty the Queen.

That beautiful snake woman would never casually give someone a drop of blood, not even in her wildest dreams.

"Ugh...it's so hard..."

Xia Mu covered his forehead, looking pitiful.

"What trouble has Xiaomu run into?"

Sakurai Kogure's heart melted at the sight of him.

Natsuki imitated Erii and achieved a super high-level output.

In the end, it's really hard to say who will subdue whom.

He glanced at Sakurai Kogure, and a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Sister Kogure, I want to learn your divine hand." He put his hand down and looked at Sakurai Kogure.

Sakurai Kogure was stunned: "You want to learn massage?"

"Mmm." Xia Mu nodded repeatedly.

"Why?" Sakurai Kogure asked.

Xia Mu scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed: "Um..."

"Are you too embarrassed to say?"

Sakurai Kogure, convinced she had seen through his intentions, smiled and said, "Are you trying to curry favor with Karii?"

"Uh... um!"

Xia Mu nodded quickly.

Sakurai Kogure felt both amused and heartbroken, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek: "Massage is a useful method, but it can only make one person need you, not make one person fall in love with you... We are all pitiful people."

No, only you are.

Xia Mu thought to himself.

"Is it okay?" he asked eagerly.

Sakurai Kogure's bitter smile vanished, replaced by a seductive expression: "Do you remember what I told you? What did my master do during the teaching process? Aren't you afraid I'll do the same to you?"

Xia Mu's expression changed drastically: "Sister Xiao Mu, you can't do that to me!"

"Hehe, you're hypnotized, what can you do to me?" Sakurai Kogure laughed like a fox.

"Oh…"

But Xia Mu's reaction surprised her. He only hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay then."

"You... agreed?" Sakurai Kogure was a little incredulous.

This guy was clearly very resistant before, was it all an act, or did he actually want to... have some fun too?

Or perhaps, she had already ignited the young boy's hormones?

“Hmm, I still want to learn that,” Xia Mu said.

'System, if she comes to undress me after I fall asleep, please summon Erii for me.'

[Scheduled task successfully set.]

"What a silly child..."

Sakurai Kogure sighed.

She naturally had no idea what surprise Xia Mu had prepared for her.

"Come on, lean on my lap."

Sakurai Kogure helped Natsuki lie down, letting his head rest on her soft legs.

"Full body massage includes the head, shoulders and neck, limbs, chest and back, and even the ears and fingers. Each part has its own set of techniques."

She explained as she performed the procedure on Xia Mu.

"But techniques are just superficial. The so-called divinely bestowed hand has nothing to do with techniques, but rather a deeper principle. I can't explain it to you; you can only experience and comprehend it yourself over and over again."

Sakurai Kogure had no intention of keeping anything to herself; she was genuinely willing to share everything she knew.

Although both Wang Jiang and Kazama Ruri hoped that she could make Xia Mu completely forget about home and become attached to her, after spending these few days together, she wanted to treat him more like a younger brother.

Such a pure and lovely boy was a rare ray of light in her life.

She feels like the future Akira Sakurai when he saw the high school girl dressed as Sakura before he died. Although he wanted to get close, hug, and tear her apart at all costs, he ultimately wanted to protect her.

"Get ready, I'm about to begin using massage techniques to induce hypnosis."

Sakurai Kogure gave a soft reminder, and her technique subtly changed.

Xia Mu concentrated on feeling it.

But as her soft hands pressed down on his body, it seemed as if some signal rushed from the massaged area into his brain, like a hormone, numbing his head.

what is going on…

This was Xia Mu's last thought before he fell into a deep sleep.

Sakurai Kogure smiled as she watched him fall asleep, but did not stop. Instead, she continued to massage him, just as Kazama Ruri would occasionally do when needed.

She didn't do anything extra, at least not for the time being.

She wished she could stay in this moment forever, feeling as if she were dancing with light, and she was very happy.

"Well…"

About an hour later, Xia Mu naturally woke up.

At that moment, he felt completely refreshed; an hour of deep sleep was equivalent to a night of mental recovery.

"Amazing!"

He praised it sincerely.

Sakurai Kogure chuckled softly, "Don't you want to check if there's anything unusual on your body first? Maybe I did something while you were asleep?"

Xia Mu looked at her with pure eyes: "No, Sister Xiao Mu has no intention of doing anything bad."

Actually, he knew the outcome just by noticing that the system's automatic tasks weren't running...

Although he was also looking forward to Erii's appearance.

But Sakurai Kogure had no idea what he was thinking. Such simple trust and innocent eyes moved her deeply, and she almost couldn't help but hug his head.
