I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke watched as the men stuffed the bags into the car, the doors closed quickly, and the car sped away.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to return to the dojo.

Then, his pupils contracted.

Under the moonlight, a stunningly beautiful woman with orange hair sat cross-legged on the edge of his dojo, taking a small sip of sake.

Her beautiful face was squinting, revealing an expression of ecstasy.

"Tsk, this wine seems to have improved since then..."

Then, she opened her one eye, looked at Atobe Sousuke who was staring at her, and raised the sake gourd in her hand.

"Would you like to take a sip?"

Sosuke smiled, sat down next to her, and took the gourd of sake from her.

"I'm warning you! If you dare drink any more this time—"

Yae Meixuan raised an eyebrow and gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist with her left hand.

"OK, OK, just a small bite, is that alright?"

Sosuke sighed helplessly and obediently only took a small bite.

With just a small sip, the intoxicating aroma of fruit and wine explodes in your mouth.

"It really is delicious." Sousuke exclaimed, handing the sake gourd back to the eye-catching Master Ooha, and smiled, "What's up? Why are you in such a good mood to see me?"

"Or is it that Master Sister is worried I'll be beaten to death by the Snake-Biting Stream people? She can't bear to see me like that?"

Yae Meixuan glared at him irritably.

Chapter 125 The moonlight is beautiful tonight

The beautiful master, Yae Meixuan, looked at Atobe Sousuke with a somewhat inscrutable expression.

After a long silence, she suddenly said, "I was hiding in the shadows and watched the whole thing."

Oh? So, this master craftswoman was covering for me the whole time?

Sosuke raised an eyebrow and urged with a grin, "So? Can you be more concise and stop dawdling?"

Yae Meixuan tilted her head and said, "Your opponent is a newbie in the Snake Bite Style—well, he's a newbie, but if you put him among ordinary people, he's already a genius close to the level of a boxing champion."

She paused, then continued, "In short, your initial fight seemed very rough to me; to put it bluntly, it was just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other, but..."

Yae Meixuan's expression turned serious: "Although you successfully killed this newbie, it doesn't mean the matter is over, you should know that, right?"

Atobe Sousuke naturally understood what "beautiful master" meant.

He nodded: "The guy I killed is already considered to be in the 'strongest realm' you mentioned. The disciples of the Snakebite School won't let me live like this, right?"

Yae Meixuan nodded: "I said before that the Snake Bite School is a secretive little school. As far as I know, there are only a few people left in the world. But they are always vengeful, especially after you killed two of their successors. For them, that's probably a fight to the death. Not to mention the higher-level experts, even the Snake Bite School member who participated in the Death Maniac Duel yesterday, are you confident you can deal with him?"

Sousuke scratched his chin and suddenly smiled at Yae Meixuan: "You should know very well whether I can defeat him or not, right?"

The beautiful master craftswoman stared at him for a long while, then suddenly sighed: "Indeed, I never imagined such a freak as you existed... Your basic skills are quite crude, but..."

She recalled the final gesture she had just witnessed from Sousuke, and her expression turned astonished again: "Your sudden outburst at the last moment was a bit over the top, wasn't it? I feel like even if I were to face you in that state..."

She immediately stopped talking and didn't continue.

Being so competitive, she couldn't possibly admit that she might be no match for a younger brother who wasn't even a martial artist.

Atobe Sousuke chuckled: "When we sparred before, I already said I wasn't using my full strength, and you didn't believe me. Now you do, right?"

"Tch!" Yae Meixuan glanced at him sideways and said calmly, "Stop pretending, okay? That state must have taken a lot of energy! Ask yourself honestly, how long can you maintain that state?"

She continued to be defiant: "As long as I avoid you when you explode, you'll be meat on my chopping block when you're exhausted."

Sousuke retorted defiantly, "How do you know I'll run out of energy? You can't even imagine my stamina. You think you can avoid me? I'll catch up to you and rub you into the ground, you believe me?"

"Heh, I don't believe you." Yae Meixuan gave him a disdainful look. "Do you think I didn't see it? After we finished fighting, you were panting like a dog. If I hadn't kindly given you a drink, you'd probably still be suffering from kidney deficiency!"

"I'm weak!? Are you kidding me..." Sosuke's eyes widened, and he was about to continue to argue when he subconsciously checked his body and found that the extremely weak and empty feeling he had felt before was really gone.

"Wait!" He looked down at the gourd in his hand. "What kind of wine is this? It's so potent!"

As he spoke, he uncorked the gourd and was about to take another swig, but Yae Meixuan, who had been on guard, snatched it back.

"Hey, don't be so stingy! Let me have a sip and savor it." Atobe Sousuke stared longingly at the sake gourd, almost grabbing it.

“Take another sip, and you’ll black out. Then I’ll strip you naked and throw you out into the street, ruining your reputation.” Yae Meixuan sneered, clutching the gourd tightly in her hand.

Atobe Sousuke paused, then withdrew his hand in obvious cowardice: "One more sip and I'll black out? You're kidding me, aren't you?"

He recalled the blackout he experienced last night and began to believe it to some extent.

"This is a special medicinal fruit wine brewed using an ancient secret recipe. Even an elephant would get drunk after drinking very little." Yae Meixuan chuckled. "The winemaker who brewed this wine is quite bold to name it 'Yashiotsuki'."

Eight salts for wine?

Sosuke's mind raced, and a memory of a Japanese myth or legend surfaced in his mind.

In the myth of Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi, the divine sake used to get Yamata no Orochi drunk was called Yashiotsu.

The fact that the winemaker dared to name it after this suggests that he had complete confidence in the intoxicating effects of this wine.

"Not only that, besides its miraculous intoxicating effect, the medicinal power in the wine is also very strong—" Yae Meixuan looked at Atobe Sousuke with a smile, "Because the medicinal power is too domineering, you can only drink a very small amount each time. If you drink too much at once, you will not be able to consume the medicinal power and it will damage your health."

"Putting everything else aside, Master Sister, can I have some of this wine?" Sosuke thought that he would probably need to use Liberation a lot in the future. This wine was so potent. If he took a sip and swallowed it slowly when he opened Liberation, wouldn't that indirectly prolong the time he could use Liberation?

Yae Meixuan glanced at him, then suddenly smiled brightly: "Okay!"

"Wait, I'll go find a bottle right away," Sosuke said excitedly.

"This gourd's worth is ten million yen." The beautiful master craftsman's smile carried a hint of smugness. "It's cost price. I swear I didn't make a single penny."

Sosuke froze, staring blankly at Yae Meigen's sake gourd, and stammered, "Ten...ten million? You must be kidding me!"

What the hell? Ten million yen, which is equivalent to 500,000 RMB, and this is all the wine?

"This is a price for acquaintances. If I hadn't gone to buy it, the price would have doubled, and it would have been basically out of stock." Yae Meixuan looked at Sosuke teasingly. "You don't actually think that a wine that can preserve youth and enhance physical strength without any side effects would be cheap, do you?"

Okay, you win, I can't afford it.

Atobe Sousuke, whose finances had just begun to improve, said that he was still a poor man.

With great determination, Sosuke turned his gaze away from Yae Baigen's sake gourd.

However, the beautiful master craftswoman had no intention of letting him off the hook: "Even if you don't buy it, you still have to pay me. You should remember... The night before last, you drank a third of my wine gourd. Let me round it up to three million."

As she spoke, she extended her palm to Sosuke.

Sosuke was drenched in sweat.

He looked up at the sky and said, "The moon is beautiful tonight."

“The wind is gentle—but it’s more suitable for paying off debts!” Master gave Sousuke a disdainful look. “You don’t think you can get rid of your debts by seducing me with Natsume Soseki’s sweet words, do you?”

Chapter 126 The Power of the Bench Vise

"You even know about Natsume Soseki!?" Sousuke looked astonished. "I thought you only liked chivalrous stories!"

"Koraaaa!" Yae Meixuan suddenly shouted angrily, "Stop joking around! Three million! Hand it over!"

"Are you crazy? Where would I get that much money!" Sosuke pretended to leave.

Then he was grabbed by Yae Meixuan and struggled to get up, but because he was guilty, he didn't have the confidence to really break free.

"I don't care about the money, you have to do something for me." Yae Meixuan straddled Sosuke's waist, looking down at him earnestly, her expression strangely uneasy.

Tonight, she witnessed Sosuke's unparalleled and domineering figure after activating his liberation technique, and the long-dormant flame in her heart quietly began to burn again.

If it's this boy with so much potential, he might actually be able to help her accomplish that.

Under the moonlight, a stunningly beautiful older woman with a voluptuous figure straddled him in an ambiguous position. Her revealing kimono couldn't contain her perfectly shaped cushioning, leaving Sousuke feeling parched.

He swallowed hard and said hesitantly, "What is it? Tell me first and I'll decide."

"If you have the chance, help me..." Yae Meixuan's eyes seemed to burn with intense flames.

"Kill one person!"

what?

Sousuke looked somewhat confused: "Kill whom?"

Immediately afterwards, his pupils contracted, and he turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to meet his master's gaze.

What kind of expression is that?

Yae Mei-xuan originally intended to earnestly recount her story of hatred to Atobe Sousuke.

But when he saw Atobe Sousuke looking away with an embarrassed expression, he felt something was wrong.

She sat up slightly on her own, then froze.

"hiss!"

Atobe Sousuke took a deep breath and swore to God that he was definitely not a pervert.

He was listening very attentively to what the beautiful master had to say.

The serious and proper kind!

It's all that bastard's fault for drinking salt!

As a result, after drinking a sip of the Eight Salts Wine, he not only quickly recovered the physical strength that had been depleted by the liberation, but the powerful medicinal effects also continued to take effect.

This directly boosted his energy levels.

As a result, being ridden in such an enjoyable position by the other party, with an astonishingly large European-style bread in front of you and a seat cushion with immense pressure on your waist.

Sosuke's inner demons were so strong that they grew wildly in the wind.

Then, through the thin fabric, it was precisely wedged into the gap of the seat cushion.

Inner demons, you're so accurate!

Unlike the widow's soft cushion, the beautiful master craftswoman's cushion was naturally very firm due to her years of cultivation and her body that had been tempered through countless trials.

Extremely high pressure!

It directly controlled the inner demons so tightly that they couldn't move them.

This has completely messed up Sousuke's life!

Yae Meixuan also realized that something was wrong.

She looked down blankly and saw Sosuke's slightly sour expression as he gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

"You fucking!"

Her face flushed red instantly, and she straightened her back as if to stand up.

However, Sosuke instinctively raised his hand and pressed down on his waist, causing him to fall back down as soon as he squatted down.

"hiss--!!"

Sosuke felt as if his inner demons were being clamped in vises and then scraped hard across him.

I almost got a chill.

"idiot!"

Yae Meixuan was furious and suddenly stood up.

As it turns out, she may have raised her voice too much in her haste.

"Sousuke-kun? Are you talking to someone?"

Inside the house, Kuno Maruko's puzzled voice came from after she had finished taking a shower.

Yae Meixuan kicked Sosuke through gritted teeth.

Then he quickly turned around and jumped over the dojo's wall in a few seconds, disappearing into the night.

Then, with the sound of footsteps, the dojo door was pushed open, and Kuno Maruko, wearing an alluring silk nightgown, peeked out, drying her wet hair with a towel.
