Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

A slight smile played on her lips, and she was secretly delighted. She was truly worthy of her reputation!

"what are you doing?"

Zenji Jinsuke turned on the light and calmly looked at the sneaky Tsukumo Yuki with a strange look in his eyes.

With such a commotion, couldn't he feel it?

"What are you doing? You scared me!"

Yuki Tsukumo was startled by the sudden switching on of the lights, instinctively clutching her chest, trembling violently—quite a powerful sight.

"This is my room, why are you asking me?" Zenji Jinsuke was a little suspicious, wondering if this woman had some intellectual problems.

"Okay, I'll lay it all out. I did it on purpose. It's so obvious, do you want me to keep going?"

Having been caught red-handed, Yuki Tsukumo stopped pretending, put her hands on her hips, and looked like a rogue.

No matter what happens today, nothing can stop her. She's been eyeing this piece of meat for a long time, and she won't feel at ease until she's completely devoured it.

"you......"

Zenji Jinsuke's eyes were somewhat complicated. He had always thought that Tsukumo Yuki was joking with him, but he didn't expect that this woman was really after his body.

Now they don't even bother pretending anymore?

"We're not a good fit."

"How can it not fit? You haven't even tried it on, how do you know it won't fit?"

Tsukumo Yuki pouted and puffed out her chest, "Am I not pretty?"

"I'm not in good shape?"

"I'm not strong enough?"

"I know, you look down on me because I'm poor, right? I'll work hard to earn money from now on, okay? I'll let you live off me for the rest of your life!"

Yuki realized the problem and quickly offered his assurances.

"neither."

The Zen monastery's magistrate wasn't concerned about money.

Now that he has quit gambling, he doesn't care about how much money he has, as long as he has enough.

"What exactly is the reason?"

Yuki Tsukumo couldn't understand what was wrong with her compared to him.

Zenji Jinsuke scratched his head and tilted his head slightly. "Um... we're too familiar with each other, I feel awkward about making a move."

Yuki Tsukumo was completely dumbfounded; she had actually been defeated in such a place!

Is this why childhood sweethearts can never compete with those born from the sky?

"I don't care! You're embarrassed, but I am!"

Tsukumo Yuki pounced on Zenji Jinsuke, pinning him to the bed, and turned off the light, saying in a sweet voice:

"I don't feel familiar with it when the lights are off."

Zenji Jinsuke instinctively tried to push it away, but a wet patch had already been imprinted on it.

The frozen hand finally landed on the other person's back.

This was the first time he had ever been so passive.

She really is an unreasonable woman...

Chapter 36 Zhenyi is unhappy

As expected, because it was a holiday, Maki and Mai arrived in the yard early.

Seeing that the door hadn't been opened yet, Maki knew her master was still sleeping, so she took a heavy stick and started waving it around in the yard.

Meanwhile, Zhenyi skillfully found the key to the main door under the doormat, opened the door, and a wise smile appeared on her face.

"Hehe, Brother Shenjie is so lazy. Zhenyi is going to come and wake you up."

The small figure quickly ran upstairs, arrived at the door of Zenji Jinsuke's room, rubbed his hands together, and carefully placed them on the doorknob.

"Ta-da! The sun's already high in the sky! Brother, get up!"

Pushing the door open forcefully, Zhenyi ran to the bedside, kicked her legs, and jumped up, throwing herself onto the bed.

"Look, it's really like Mount Tai pressing down on you!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The small figure fell and bounced twice on the bed.

Who is it...?

Yuki Tsukumo groggily opened her eyes, pulled the blanket down a bit, and saw Mayu staring at her with a bewildered expression. "Oh, it's just a little girl."

Seeing that the person who came was Zhenyi, Jiujiu Yuki covered herself with the blanket again, hugged the person next to her with both hands, and nuzzled her head against the other person's chest.

It was her first time eating meat, and she was so excited yesterday that she was busy all night. At the same time, she underestimated the other party's fighting power.

No wonder he's been able to live off a woman for so many years.

It was practically a human pile driver; even she, a top-tier mage, almost couldn't withstand it.

She's so tired right now, she needs to sleep until the afternoon to recover.

"It's that older sister from yesterday! What are you doing in my brother's room!"

When Zhenyi saw the newly emerged Tsukumo Yuki, her expression froze. She quickly pulled the blanket down and discovered another figure beside her—her familiar older brother.

"Ah! My brother's here too!"

For a moment, Zhenyi's mind went blank. What was going on?

Why are the older sister and brother sleeping together? Is the older sister afraid of the cold?

"Mai, go out for a bit, your brother needs to get up and get dressed."

The Zen monks had no choice but to get up.

Did Yuki Tsukumo forget to lock the door last night? That's a bad habit.

Fortunately, he has an exceptionally strong recovery ability; even after fighting all night, he didn't feel too tired.

Zhenyi walked out of the room with a head full of questions, and closed the door behind her.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Mayi, still puzzled, told Maki what she had seen.

Upon hearing this, Maki, who was focused solely on becoming stronger, casually remarked, "Maybe it's too cold sleeping alone."

"Yay! My sister and I think the same thing!"

Zhenyi seemed quite happy; her sister actually shared the same thought as her.

She seems to be quite smart.

A short while later, Zenji Shinsuke casually called the two sisters to have breakfast.

The two little kids didn't understand anything, and he was too lazy to tell them.

For the next few days, Tsukumo Yuki didn't go anywhere; he just stayed there, eating and drinking for free. Not only that, but now even he was being taken advantage of by the other party.

Moreover, the money owed from before is probably indefinitely owed.

"Waaaah... I'm so touched."

Having just left the movie theater, Tsukumo Yuki linked arms with Zenin Jinsuke, reminiscing about the romantic movie they had just watched.

"Is it really necessary? It's just a movie."

Zen-in Shinsuke's lips twitched slightly.

It feels like dating is even more difficult than being a kept man.

"What do you know? You're just a clueless straight man," Tsukumo Yuki retorted.

Because she had never been in a relationship before, she did all the things couples do these past few days.

I finally experienced it; life isn't just about saving the world, there's so much fun in it too.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, otherwise the two little ones will say I kidnapped you again."

At first, Maki and Mai didn't care much, but these past few days, the two of them have been going on dates every day, which has made the two kids very unhappy.

They finally understood what it meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

When the two returned home, they saw Maki diligently practicing, while Mai was sitting on a stone by the door, pouting with a worried expression.

She used to hope her brother would find a girlfriend, but now she's furious.

She then realized that after her brother got a girlfriend, he didn't have time to play with them, or more accurately, he didn't have time to play with her.

This made her very depressed, and she even thought that it would be great if her brother never found a girlfriend, so that she, her brother, and her sister could stay together forever.

"Little Zhenyi is unhappy again? Look what your sister bought for you."

As soon as Tsukumo Yuki entered the room, she saw Mayu pouting unhappily.

"Hmph, even if you buy me delicious food, I won't talk to you, and the same goes for my brother. Don't even think about making me forgive you."

Zhenyi turned her head away angrily, but her eyes kept glancing at Tsukumo Yuki's hand.

They all went out to play without taking her and her sister along; she would never forgive those two cold-hearted guys.

"Okay, okay, Zhenyi, don't be angry. I'll give your good brother back to you right away."

Looking at the adorable Mai, Tsukumo Yuki couldn't help but pat her head.

She couldn't believe that a grown man like Zenin Jinsuke was actually quite popular with little girls.

"really?"

May responded, glancing at the cake in Tsukumo Yuki's hand, and swallowed hard.

"Of course it's true. My sister is going on a mission soon and won't be back for a long time. During this time, I can spend more time with you."

"Come on, let's have some cake to cheer ourselves up."

Tsukumo Yuki handed the cake, which he had bought with money from Zen-in-suke, to Shin-i.

"Remember to invite your sister to eat together!"

"Gulu, alright, I'll forgive you this time."

Zhenyi took the cake, looked at the strawberries on it, and swallowed hard.

For the sake of the cake, I'll reluctantly forgive these two people.

Holding the cake, she walked toward Maki, who was exercising.

"when are we leaving?"

Zen monk Jinjie inquired.

"Let's do it tomorrow. We've been here long enough, it's time to get down to business. If I stay with you any longer, I feel like I'm going to go astray."

Yuki Tsukumo realized in time that although the taste of love was wonderful, she could not forget her goal because of it.

She's the woman who's going to get rid of the source of the curse!

"Why don't you come and help me find a way to break the curse?"

Tsukumo Yuki looked at Zenji Jinsuke with anticipation in his eyes.

"Forget it, I don't want to be a great hero."

Zen monk Jin Jie resolutely refused.

Saving the world is something for the protagonist; he doesn't have that kind of ambition.

He just wants to become stronger and then do things that interest him.

Or, to avoid some regrets from happening.

For example, this woman in front of me—I can't just watch her follow the same path.

Yuki Tsukumo was a little disappointed by this, but she quickly recovered.
