Samui's words struck her most vulnerable and irreplaceable part with precision.

She can disregard her own dignity and even her life.

But she couldn't stand by and watch Omoi and her fellow villagers die tragically because of her "unyielding" spirit.

Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.

She slowly and with great difficulty withdrew her foot, her body stiff as a stone.

Several seconds passed before she slowly turned around.

Facing the emperor, who leaned lazily against the couch, like a demon.

And the former captain in his arms, who had become an absolute stranger.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with struggle, pain, and the despair of finally having to bow her head.

She opened her mouth, but found her throat so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

In the end, she simply stared intently at Di Yan, choosing silence over answer.

But her frozen posture already indicated that... she was forced to stay.

"Oh, you're not leaving? You're all talk and no action!"

Di Yan admired every painful and struggling expression on her face, as if he were watching a wonderful drama.

He knew that the first thorn of this stubborn black rose had finally been broken off.

Now it's time to enjoy...

...

128 Karui's predicament; the odds are against him.

Karui stood frozen in the doorway like a statue.

An internal struggle was raging within him.

Leaving means the death of a companion.

Staying would mean facing unimaginable humiliation.

She chose not to move.

This silent standing is a final, feeble protest.

Di Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry to force her?

Instead, he focused all his attention on Samui in his arms.

His casual remark almost froze Karui's blood:

“Karui doesn’t seem to know the rules. Samui, why don’t you demonstrate for him?”

"How can you please me here?"

Upon hearing this, Samui responded without the slightest hesitation or shame, simply giving a meek reply:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

She even adjusted her posture and obediently did as instructed.

“Karui, you must understand, here you are no longer a cloud person.”

Samui's face showed a hint of fanaticism, "Here, you belong only to His Majesty!"

then……

Karui stared in disbelief, “Samui…you…”

Karui's eyes widened.

It almost popped out of my eyes.

At that moment, she couldn't believe what she was seeing...

Samui, who was once known in Kumogakure for his calmness, strength, and even arrogance.

The captain she both admired and longed for?

actually……

It's so...so...

"Samui, how did you become like this..."

"Karui, you'll understand when you become like me?"

Samui01 didn't even look at Karui, and answered decisively.

"This is simply... simply... utterly absurd!"

Karui felt that this was completely different from the image she remembered!

The impact of this huge contrast.

What made Karui feel more devastated and confused was far more than direct violence.

She always thought that Samui might have been coerced or controlled in some way.

But the scene before me clearly shows that it was done willingly.

Even...enjoying it?

"how so……"

Karui muttered to himself.

Her voice trembled with disbelief.

She felt her worldview was collapsing.

If even someone like Samui completely submits.

So what kind of terrifying power or means does this Emperor possess?

She looked at Sam'i with such devotion... as if this were the most natural thing in the world.

A chill mixed with a strange bitterness welled up in my heart.

The will to persevere began to crack in the face of this highly impactful "demonstration".

She remained standing there, but her legs felt weak.

The fist that had been clenched tightly loosened slightly at some point.

Di Yan observed Karui's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

He knew how to destroy a person's will.

Sometimes, torture is not necessary.

All you need to do is let her see for herself what she believes in.

How it was completely shattered in front of her.

Karui's silence and wavering.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

This "lesson" has only just begun.

I do not know how long it has been.

When Samui looked at Karui again, she said haltingly, "Kalui, I hope... we can still be good sisters..."

"Now...it's your turn..."

Karui was on the verge of tears: "You're insane...you're insane..."

Therefore, Di Yan turned his gaze back to Karui, who had been standing frozen at the door.

Karui's state at this moment is very delicate.

Her dark skin seemed even more profound.

She was almost unsteady on her feet, her eyes darting around.

I dared not look directly at him... yet I couldn't help but steal glances from the corner of my eye.

That forced composure completely betrayed the inner turmoil beneath.

It seemed particularly interesting to Di Yan.

Just like a kitten that's greedy but tries to control itself.

Di Yan chuckled softly.

He casually pushed Samui aside.

then……

He walked straight toward Karui.

Karui was startled when he heard footsteps approaching.

He jerked his head up like a startled rabbit, his voice trembling with panic:

"You...what are you doing?"

Di Yan did not answer, but made his intentions clear through his actions.

He reached out and easily wrapped his arm around Karui's powerful waist.

"What do you say?"

Di Yan lowered his head and leaned close to her ear.

"What time is it? Once you're here, you're mine!"

Karui instinctively struggled for a moment.

But the force was so weak that it was almost negligible.

"Bastard... I'm not..."

"I am a ninja from Kumogakure, I am not yours..."

She stubbornly insisted, trying to strengthen her resolve.

But perhaps it's some unfamiliar longing that's been forcibly awakened deep within you at play.

She merely twisted her body symbolically.

They then completely gave up resistance.

Even as a ninja, he wasn't prepared with ninjutsu...

It's obvious they had no intention of making a move at all.

Seeing this, Di Yan chuckled with satisfaction.

Karui's eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes trembled violently.

Her heart was in turmoil... and her beliefs were shattered...

"I will never betray the village... Yes, I will never..."

"Even if he gets my body, I will not betray Kumogakure."

"I'll just leave first thing tomorrow morning..."

Karui thought to himself, trying to comfort himself.

And then she knew nothing more...

……

Inside the side hall, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Omoi and several other Cloud Village ninjas were restless.

They anxiously awaited news from Karui.
