Bai Minhua blushed, took a sip, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Delicious!"
Just then, the shop door was pushed open.
Kazuha Toyama stood in the doorway, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt. "Um... I... I was just passing by..."
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow and deliberately shook the spatula in his hand: "Would you like a special 'Chen Xiao Fried Rice'?"
Kazuha's stomach growled loudly, and she stamped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance: "Who, who wants to eat?!" But her feet betrayed her and she stepped inside.
. ..... ....
The three sat around the dining table, the atmosphere subtle. He Ye stole glances at Chen Xiao's skillful cooking, then looked at Bai Minhua's gentle, tender eyes, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"Isn't your tour guide job over?" Chen Xiao suddenly leaned close to He Ye's ear, his breath hot. "Or... are you reluctant to part with me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kazuha leaned back abruptly, almost falling off her chair. She frantically straightened her bangs, trying to hide her flushed cheeks. "Heiji's been investigating a serial murder case lately, I just... I just find being with you more exciting..."
Chen Xiao chuckled softly, gently lifting her chin with his finger: "How exciting is it?"
Kazuha sighed, "Wasn't it thrilling to see you save me from the brink of disaster? What are you thinking? Honestly!"
Bai Minhua covered his mouth and chuckled, while Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes meaningfully.
"What is your relationship with Sister Minhua?" He Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Since you're so curious..." Chen Xiao suddenly pulled He Ye onto his lap and whispered in her ear, "Why don't you experience it for yourself?"
Kazuha's body stiffened, her mind went blank. She should have pushed him away, but her body was frozen in place.
Chen Xiao's scent lingered around my nose.
Just then, her phone rang abruptly. Kazuha snapped out of her daze and frantically pulled out her phone—it was a call from Hattori Heiji.
"Heiji?!" She jumped up as if grasping at a straw and ran outside to answer the phone.
A moment later, she returned with a complicated expression: "That... the serial killer has reappeared, and Heiji asked me to go help..."
Chen Xiao slowly wiped his hands: "Do you need me to come with you?"
Kazuha opened her mouth, but ultimately lowered her head: "...Whatever."
Seeing her insincere expression, Chen Xiao chuckled and stood up. He turned to Bai Minhua: "The shop is in your hands now."
Bai Minhua nodded obediently, and the moment Chen Xiao turned around, her fingertips lightly brushed across the back of his hand—a secret signal that only they understood.
Last night, Chen Xiao established a mental link with her through the "Void Genome," and no matter how far apart they were, she could sense his will.
On the streets of Osaka, on the way to the crime scene—
He Ye deliberately kept her distance from Chen Xiao.
"So," Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "what are the characteristics of this serial killer?"
Kazuha snapped out of her daze and tried to keep her voice steady: "The victims were all young, thin women who were dependent on men, and their bodies were arranged in... some kind of ritualistic pose." She hesitated for a moment, "Heiji suspects that the killer may be an extremist from a women's rights organization."
Chen Xiao seemed to be deep in thought. The young women's group, the servant youth group, the serial killer—the chaos in Osaka was far more interesting than he had imagined.
Just then, his phone vibrated. A message from Yuko Kambara appeared on his screen:
There are far fewer women in the group today, Chen Xiao, you need to be careful, Yamamoto Akatsuki is awakening his fully-fledged Tyrant Dragon bloodline!
Chen Xiao put away his phone, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "It won't hurt to cultivate a little longer." Chen Xiao completely disregarded Yamamoto Asaji, a piece of trash. Of course, compared to that, he was more interested in feminist organizations. 4.
Chapter 76 Manipulating Feminist Beauties, Chen Xiao Recruits and Serves the Youth Corps
The streets were filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and several female corpses lay in pools of blood in bizarre positions.
Kazuha covered her mouth, her face deathly pale: "It's...it's the same method again..."
"boom!"
A shell suddenly whistled in from the shadows. Chen Xiao instantly grabbed He Ye's waist and dodged like a ghost. The blast wave kicked up debris. He Ye looked up in Chen Xiao's arms and met his sharply defined profile—his amber eyes, illuminated by the firelight, looked like molten gold, making her heart skip a beat.
"Hold on tight." Chen Xiao's deep voice sounded in her ear, and He Ye subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
Three shells rained down in quick succession. Chen Xiao gracefully flipped through the air, each time precisely avoiding the center of the blast. He Ye's long hair danced in the blast wave. She had never experienced such a thrilling and captivating moment—death was so close, yet this man had so easily averted it.
"There!" Chen Xiao's eyes sharpened. As he landed steadily with He Ye in his arms, golden light from the Twilight Holy Spear condensed in his right hand.
The red-haired woman in the shadows narrowed her eyes and hurriedly set up her cannon to fire again. But Chen Xiao was faster—the Holy Lance ripped through the air, accurately striking the cannon barrel and blasting it to pieces.
"Damn it!" the woman cursed, leaping out from behind cover. She wore a modified police uniform, her long, deep red hair flying like flames.
"It's the Aesthetic Organization! This outfit and attire belong to someone from the Aesthetic Organization!" Kazuha exclaimed.
Judy wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and pulled a military knife from her leg hilt: "Men should... wait..." Her gaze suddenly froze when it fell on Chen Xiao's face, and her hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
A playful smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips, and his Bewitching Eyes activated silently: "An organization that specializes in killing men, yet develops feelings for its victims?"
"Shut up!" Judy's cheeks flushed an unnatural red, but her saber lowered slightly. "How could I... possibly... be with a filthy man..."
Chen Xiao walked slowly forward, each step feeling as if he were stepping on her heartbeat: "Then why don't you dare to look at me?"
Judy bit her lip, trying to stay awake, but the allure of her charm made her legs weak. As Chen Xiao's fingers touched her cheek, the military knife clattered to the ground.
"Name." Chen Xiao wiped her bleeding lips with his thumb.
“Judy… Calder…” she blurted out her real name uncontrollably, then turned her face away in shame and indignation.
Kazuha watched in stunned silence. She should have taken the opportunity to contact Heiji, but she found herself unable to look away—the sight of Chen Xiao conquering the dangerous woman stirred a bittersweet feeling in her chest.
"What is the Aesthetic Organization?" Chen Xiao pinched Judy's chin, forcing her to look up.
“It’s…it’s the sorority that’s purifying the world…” Judy’s breathing became more and more rapid, “Eliminating parasitic women who depend on men…annihilating all men…”
Chen Xiao chuckled: "So you specialize in killing weak women? What a noble ideal."
"They're traitors!" Judy suddenly exclaimed, "Willing to be men's playthings...!"
"Traitor?" Chen Xiao's fingers slid from Judy's cheek to the back of her neck. "Then what are you now?"
Judy trembled all over, unable to resist the burning heat from the man's fingertips. When Chen Xiao suddenly bit her earlobe, she let out a whimper, her legs completely losing strength.
"Come to the Chinese restaurant in an hour." Chen Xiao's whisper was like a devil's contract. "If you dare to run away, I will make you suffer worse than death."
Judy was horrified to discover that some more powerful force was rewriting her body's memories. She staggered back two steps, took one last look at Chen Xiao's handsome, godlike face, and then turned and disappeared into the alley.
On the still-smoky streets, Kazuha suddenly hugged Chen Xiao from behind: "Are you crazy! She's a serial killer!"
"It's alright. The person who truly controls her is the person behind her. Arresting her now won't give us the truth," Chen Xiao deliberately lied to He Ye.
Upon hearing this, He Ye trusted Chen Xiao, her tears soaking his shirt. "If it weren't for you just now... I almost..."
Chen Xiao turned around, cupped her face, and wiped away her tears with his thumb: "Heiji Hattori is really too much. He didn't even come to save his own girlfriend when she was in danger."
"She's not my girlfriend!" Kazuha jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "We're just... childhood friends..." Her voice trailed off as she suddenly realized how terrible her words were.
A hint of amusement flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes: "Oh? Then why was Miss Ye crying so bitterly just now?" He leaned closer, "Could it be..."
"No, could it be!" Kazuha blushed and backed away, but her lower back bumped into a telephone pole.
Chen Xiao braced his arm against her ear, trapping her in a small space. At this distance, she could clearly smell the mixture of gunpowder and fir wood on him.
"I'll take you home." Chen Xiao suddenly stepped back, as if the previous ambiguity was just an illusion.
Kazuha breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt inexplicably lost.
On the way back, Kazuha stared blankly at the fleeting night view outside the window.
Chen Xiao fiddled with the pendant he had taken from Judy—it was an exquisite cross with the words "Beauty and Immortality" engraved on the inside.
"They believe in some kind of twisted doctrine," Chen Xiao said thoughtfully. "Killing men is purification, while killing women who depend on men is eliminating traitors..."
Kazuha nervously twisted her skirt: "In the last three months, seventeen women have been murdered in Osaka. Heiji said the bodies were all arranged in a gesture of repentance..." She suddenly grabbed Chen Xiao's hand, "You have to be careful, they really will kill you!"
Chen Xiao chuckled and intertwined his fingers with hers: "Worried about me?"
"Who, who's worried!" Kazuha tried to pull her hand away, but it was held even tighter.
The bus arrived at the station just in time, and she jumped off as if fleeing, only to hear Chen Xiao say behind her:
"See you tomorrow, Kazuha."
The affectionate nickname made her stop in her tracks, but when she turned around, the car had already driven away.
On the second floor of the Chinese restaurant, Chen Xiao was sitting comfortably, waiting for his slave to arrive.
A soft sound came from outside the window, and Judy arrived as promised, but she had changed into a plain white kimono, and her red hair was loosely tied up with a silver hairpin.
"What a good girl." Chen Xiao opened the sliding door, but Judy knelt in the entryway, not daring to look up.
"Why...don't you kill me?" Her voice was hoarse. "I've killed so many people..."
Chen Xiao lifted her chin: "Because it's interesting. Now you're mine."
Judy's pupils contracted slightly—the Dark Bible's love-binding effect was eroding her will. When Chen Xiao unbuttoned her first button, instinct drove her to reach for the dagger hidden in her sleeve, but her body defied her will and pressed itself against it.
"Isn't it contradictory? She clearly hates men to the bone, yet her body craves my touch."
As the candlelight flickered, her kimono slipped off like snowflakes. Judy was filled with shame and indignation as she discovered that her body was betraying her faith of many years.
"Kill me...please..."
"No." Chen Xiao kissed away her tears. "I want you to live and experience all of this."
Moonlight streamed through the windowpane, resembling an oil painting of a fallen angel.
[Ding! Host has conquered "Judy Calder" and received the system reward - Rebellious Kiss]
[Effect: Kissing the target can temporarily reverse their beliefs and stance; the duration increases with the level of intimacy.]
Moonlight streamed through the paper window, and Judy curled up in her blankets.
Chen Xiao tied his belt: "It's time to go back."
Judy grabbed his wrist suddenly: "Can...can I do it again?"
Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "You can go back and be my undercover agent in the Weimei organization. If you miss me, you can come see me occasionally!"
Judy looked at Chen Xiao reluctantly, but still nodded.
Dusk falls on Gokurakukaku, the most luxurious brothel in Osaka's Minami Ward.
Yamamoto Akatsuki sat alone in a specially designed box, with 108 screens in front of him simultaneously displaying obscene images. The lower-ranking female members of the Serving Youth Corps were chained to racks and being abused by various men.
"Not enough...not enough..." Evil Si's pupils had completely turned into the vertical pupils of a dragon, and his military uniform was being torn apart by his bulging muscles. Every scream made the dragon scales on his back even more vivid, and every tear made his claws and teeth even sharper.
