A strong sense of despair spread in Ohashi Yui’s heart. She wanted to leave here, but she didn’t know what she should do or what she could do.
Because once soone was regarded as the caretaker by the Eight-Forked Serpent, they would lose their life, no matter who they were.
Yes.
This was also the main reason why no one could consider the Eight-Forked Serpent as a Servant God.
She just didn’t understand why the Eight-Forked Serpent had its eyes on her.
"Do you want to be my caretaker or my food?"
A loud voice echoed in the depths of Ohashi Yui’s soul, making her tremble with unease.
"I am willing to be your caretaker!" Ohashi Yui answered the other party while enduring her inner fear. Although caretakers would also beco food, there was a process, and she could live for a while.
If she answered to be food, she would surely be devoured instantly.
And in the ti she had left, she could do so things she had never done before and resolve the regrets in her heart.
------
In a private hospital, Jingyu Huatian had just completed a full-body check, and his internal organs were damaged, along with several ribs suffering from different degrees of fractures.
This was simply a great humiliation for him.
After all, as a key mber of the Inagawa Sect, his identity was self-evident, but who would have thought he would be severely injured while collecting protection fees?
"Did you find out? Who was the person that attacked ?" Jingyu Huatian looked at a mber of the Inagawa Sect.
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "We found out, the person is called Yanagida Ryo, who is learning cooking with Ohashi Yui and doesn’t have any strong background."
"Yanagida Ryo must die, otherwise, the hatred in my heart can’t be dispelled." A cold gleam flashed in Jingyu Huatian’s eyes. He had to make the other party pay the price, or else he wouldn’t be able to stand his ground in the underworld from now on.
This would affect the influence of the Inagawa Sect.
The next day.
When Xu Wendong heard the sounds coming from the kitchen, he ended his cultivation and looked at the ti on his phone. It was already eight in the morning.
The ti wasn’t too late, but it wasn’t early either, considering that both of them had gone to bed almost at three in the morning yesterday.
He put on his shoes and walked out, only to see Ohashi Yui wearing a pink apron and preparing breakfast in the kitchen. However, her complexion appeared very haggard, and her eyes had lost their previous vitality.
It was as if she had been seriously ill.
Xu Wendong said, "Miss Yui, why did you get up so early? Although your back injury has healed, you still need more rest."
Ohashi Yui forced a smile, "Did I disturb Mr. Yanagida?"
"No, no." Xu Wendong looked her up and down and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell sowhere? Why does your complexion look so bad?"
As a cultivator, Xu Wendong could clearly sense that Ohashi Yui’s physical condition was terrible at the mont. There was a mysterious feeling of aging, as if sothing was devouring her life force, causing her to age significantly overnight.
If this trend continued, she would die in at most a month.
"I’m fine, just didn’t sleep well last night." Ohashi Yui didn’t ntion becoming the caretaker of the Eight-Forked Serpent, as such a thing was very fantastical, and even if she said it, others wouldn’t believe it.
Seeing that she didn’t want to say more, Xu Wendong didn’t press further and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he finished, Ohashi Yui had already served delicious miso soup and breakfast on the dining table.
"Mr. Yanagida, could you accompany to Great Xia?"
While they were eating, Ohashi Yui’s voice suddenly rang out.
"What do you want to do in Great Xia?" Xu Wendong looked at Ohashi Yui with curiosity. He also wanted to go ho. Although life here wasn’t dull and there were beauties around, in his heart, it couldn’t compare to his own country.
But now wasn’t the right ti.
At least he had to wait until he controlled the Ohashi Family.
As long as he could control the Ohashi Family, the Iga Clan, and the Yamato Kendo Hall, it would be equivalent to blocking the throat of Wa Country. After all, the influence of the three cultivation forces was extrely terrifying.
Ohashi Yui barely smiled, "I don’t know what to do in Great Xia, just suddenly want to go there and have a look."
She knew about Great Xia.
Knew that it boasted a cultural legacy of over five thousand years and was an ancient nation.
Also knew that there was lots of delicious food there.
Though always yearning for it, there had been no ti to taste it.
And now, she suddenly felt the urge to go.
She didn’t know if it was to fulfill a past dream, or to silently protest against the Eight-Forked Serpent’s actions since it had died there.
If she went to Great Xia, although it wouldn’t change her identity as a caretaker, it would sha the Eight-Forked Serpent...
Suddenly.
Ohashi Yui’s phone rang. She answered the call, and her expression changed dramatically. She imdiately said, "Okay, I understand, I’ll be right there."
After hanging up, she anxiously looked at Xu Wendong, "Mr. Yanagida, mbers from the Inagawa Sect went to the shop to cause trouble, I need to rush over now."
"I’ll go with you." Xu Wendong imdiately stood up. He knew that the Inagawa Sect was likely looking to cause trouble for him, but not knowing his whereabouts, they went to Ohashi Yui’s shop instead.
"Jiazi, I’m with Yui now. There are mbers of the Inagawa Sect coming to hassle . Can you make a formal request with the Inagawa Sect and ask if they’re looking to die?"
Xu Wendong called Iga Kako, then went downstairs with Ohashi Yui and drove toward the ran shop.
Before long, they arrived at Ohashi Yui’s ran shop. At this ti, a row of black sedans was parked at the entrance, and beside each car stood four middle-aged n in black suits and sunglasses with an oppressive aura.
Nearly a hundred people were gathered, making for a rather imposing scene.
Inside the shop.
Jingyu Huatian was sitting at a dining table, bowing his head to eat noodles. Seeing Ohashi Yui and Xu Wendong approaching, a sneer appeared on his face, "I thought you wouldn’t dare to co!"
"Didn’t you take my words to heart yesterday?" Xu Wendong sat across from Jingyu Huatian, fearless.
Seeing Xu Wendong’s nonchalant deanor, not considering him at all, the anger in Jingyu Huatian’s heart erupted instantly. He snorted heavily, "Yanagida Ryo, if you kneel and beg for rcy now, I can spare your life, or else you’ll know the consequences of opposing !"
Xu Wendong took a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and said lightly, "If you kneel and repent now, I will also give you a chance to nd your ways, or you’ll truly regret provoking ."
Jingyu Huatian slamd the table, glaring at Xu Wendong like an angry lion, "What gives you the right to act tough in front of ? Believe it or not, I can make you not see the sunset with a single word from !"
Xu Wendong’s lips curled upward, "So, you’re not cherishing the chance I’m giving?"
Jingyu Huatian: "Yes, I want to see how you’ll make regret it."
As soon as the words were out, his phone suddenly rang, displaying a number he feared.
Bam!
Xu Wendong lit the cigarette in his mouth, revealing an intriguing smile, "Go ahead, take the call. You’ll regret it after."
