Time goes back to last night.
The dead mud field at the easternmost end of the canal is a forbidden area where strangers are not allowed to enter.
The canals that criss-cross the Ring Stone City are important transportation and water facilities for both inner-city and outer-city residents.
The dead mud field in District 3 of the outer city is an exception. Due to its long disrepair, river mud has accumulated here, and mutated mosquitoes and mutated crocodiles have become the masters here.
The meat of mutated crocodiles is very unpalatable. How unpalatable is it? People would rather chew frozen mashed animals raw than eat them.
As for mutant mosquitoes, they are at least 10 times larger than mosquitoes on Earth. Being bitten by them is like being stung by a compass. "mosquitoes eat people" is not an adjective here.
The president chose the Dead Mud Field as the secret training ground for the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" and ordered Qin Jiandan to sleep here every night. It was perfect.
Mosquito stingers and crocodile fangs will attack Qin Jiandan at any time. He has to fall asleep in such a dangerous situation and be able to subconsciously use the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" in his sleep to be considered basically qualified.
"Ah... I'm so sleepy. It's too late to say hello to Linlin. I have a meeting tomorrow morning..."
Qin Jiandan returned to the outer city before 12 midnight, went directly to the Dead Mud Field, lay down on the familiar stone slab and fell asleep.
The jacket was hung on a dead tree, exposing the entire body under the half-sleeved tights to the needles and fangs.
In fact, according to the master's order, in order to maximize the training effect, you should also take off your pants. It's just that Qin Jiandan was a little lazy today - since the master is in seclusion now, he shouldn't come to make a surprise inspection and then punch me away, right?
The young master quickly fell into a deep sleep. The mutant crocodiles had broken many of their teeth in the past and did not know how to get close to Qin Jiandan. Only the brainless mutant mosquitoes returned without success from time to time.
After waiting for a while, a female ninja with a full sense of assassin appeared from the darkness.
It’s none other than Konatsu Miyamoto! There are two sabers, one long and one short, hanging from the wasp's waist. Although they are not unsheathed, they are still thirsty for blood!
The mutated mosquito flapped its wings and made a headache-inducing buzzing sound that could cover up the sound of voices. Miyamoto Konatsu was well prepared and stuffed two cloth balls into his ears.
"Hehehe! Thanks to Kazama, he helped me find the place where Qin Jiandan secretly practices. Now my father's revenge can be avenged!"
Walking to the stone slab that Qin Jiandan used as a bed, Miyamoto Konatsu couldn't help but talk to himself loudly, partly to be brave, and partly because there were balls of cloth in his ears, which caused him to misjudge his own volume.
Konatsu pulled down the elastic black mesh clothes that served as a ninja mask, revealing a murderous but not very smart face.
"Hahaha! Do you think that since this place is full of mutant mosquitoes, no one will dare to assassinate them? Today I will let you see my secret ninja technique: anti-mosquito ointment!"
Every inch of skin and every pore on the body is covered with anti-mosquito ointment. Although it is itchy and uncomfortable, this is the price that must be paid to avenge my father!
Because of the special floral smell of the anti-mosquito ointment, the mutated mosquitoes did not come near Xiaoxia, and by the way, they also stopped biting the nearby Qin Jiandan.
"Damn you! Do you think I'm your human mosquito coil? I'll send you to see the King of Hell soon!"
Xiaoxia, who once again confirmed that Qin Jiandan was asleep, stood directly on the stone floor with her feet apart, adopting a condescending stance that made Qin Jiandan suffer the humiliation of his crotch.
Although Xiaoxia's ninja uniform is very strange, with her thighs exposed between the hem of her top and fishnet stockings, and she can have an unobstructed view of the Absolute Realm from below, but Qin Jiandan can't see it even if he's asleep, right?
"Although, even though Qin Qi is the murderer of my father, killing that old monster is hard to achieve, so I have no choice but to kill Qin Qi's apprentice to vent his anger!"
"Since we want to appoint Qin Jiandan as the young master, it means that Qin Jiandan and Qin Qi have a good relationship. Maybe they are illegitimate children or something? In short, I must kill you tonight!"
Xiaoxia first drew out the long knife hanging from her waist.
"Shuramaru, my beloved sword! With the tragic wish of the ancestors of the "Luo Yinggumi", let's punish this evil man! "
"Crack!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh my Shura Pill!!!"
Aiming at Qin Jiandan's heaving chest, he stabbed down hard, expecting to make the opponent's blood splatter on the spot. However, what appeared in front of Xiaoxia's eyes was the tragic scene of Shura Pill broken into two pieces from the middle.
"Huh..." Qin Jiandan snored, not waking up at all. His body treated Shura Wan's attack as a mosquito sting.
"How, how could this happen..." Xiaoxia had tears in her eyes as she tied up the tragically dead Shura Maru with strips of cloth so that she could take it back for repairs.
"Could it be...could it be that Qin Jiandan slept here to practice the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique"? Is this rumor true? hateful! Fortunately, Kazama told me about the weakness of "Steel Armor Breathing Technique", and Shuramaru's death would never be in vain! "
Xiaoxia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out the short knife from her waist.
"I heard that in order to make the skin steel with the Steel Armor Breathing Method, you have to stop breathing at that moment! I just need to carefully observe Qin Jiandan's chest and find the moment when he must inhale, and then I can take his life!"
"Rakshasa Maru, my second favorite sword! With the tragic wishes of the ancestors of the "Luo Yinggumi" and "Shura Maru", let's punish this evil man! "
"Crack!"
"Ahhhhhhhh my Rakshasa Pill!!!!"
The two beloved knives were broken off one after another, but the assassin was still sleeping soundly. As Miyamoto Konatsu burst into tears, he began to understand that this was not an opponent he could deal with.
Not good! Although I am not serious about ninjutsu training, chopping melons and vegetables is more than enough to deal with the minions of the Nian Society... Isn't this guy Qin Jiandan pretending to be asleep? He is the apprentice of that old monster Qin Qi, so he must be vicious and scheming! He pretended to be asleep and didn't fight back, so he must have wanted me to confess who was involved in the assassination!
However, no one stipulates that you must speak loudly to yourself when assassinating others.
Almost dead, just when Xiaoxia was timidly planning to retreat, Qin Jiandan turned over and unconsciously grabbed the female ninja's ankle with his right hand.
"Hey!?" Xiaoxia felt like a black cat whose tail was stepped on, and her hair exploded from her ankles to the sky.
What is he doing? Want to kill me? Are you really going to kill me? Because I came to assassinate him on the day he was promoted to Young Master, do I have to be brutally killed so that other cadres would not dare to object? I heard that Qin Qi often tore his enemies in half when he was young. Wouldn't his apprentice also like to do this? No, no, no, I don’t want to be torn in half! Could it be that the Shura Pill and Rakshasa Pill were broken in half just now to warn me of my tragic fate?
Xiaoxia wanted to show her integrity as the next leader of the Luo Ying Group, but her trembling words turned out like this:
"R-spare me! As long as you don't tear me in half, I'm willing to do anything!"
The female ninja was so scared that her entire face dissolved into a simple drawing of a kindergartener in fear and tears.
Although he was in his sleep, Qin Jiandan's grip was extremely strong and he was completely unable to break free. Even if Miyamoto Konatsu suddenly had the determination to cut off the strong man's left wrist, both sabers had just been killed and were not enough to use.
"Well...even though we are enemies..."
"Eh……?"
Qin Jiandan talked in his sleep, but Miyamoto Xiaoxia regarded this as the condition for the young master to forgive him.
"...Although we are enemies, if you insist on marrying me, I will not object..."
Qin Jiandan dreamed of Chief Mu Yue whom he met today. For some reason, the policewoman's short skirt, stockings, and dignified uniform front made him unforgettable.
Miyamoto Konatsu's face turned red. She no longer held the knife in her hands, with her index fingers facing each other, looking extremely embarrassed.
"It turns out that the young master is pretending to be asleep because he likes me? This is really information that I didn't have before. Hehehehe..."
He tried to get away with a silly smile, but Qin Jiandan's ruthless iron hand did not relax at all.
"Well...if you act rashly, I'll kill you..."
"!!"
This was something Qin Jiandan said half-jokingly before he and the policewoman parted tonight, but to Xiao Xia's ears, it sounded like a real death threat.
"Young Master, do you have such a strong character... Sure enough, I will be torn in half if I don't agree? It seems that my current position has no room for rejection..."
Xiaoxia bit her lower lip in resignation, but when she looked down and saw the bodies of Shura Maru and Rakshasa Maru hanging around her waist, a weak sense of resistance still rose.
"Please...please give me some time to discuss it with my family! The young master is the next president of the Yelong Club. I am just the leader of the Luo Ying Group who has not been officially appointed. The president and the group leader get married before anything. This is unheard of. Young Master should also consider it carefully..."
The pressure on the ankle seems to increase.
"I-I didn't refuse, I just need some time to decide the details of getting married! Please don't tear me in half like a roasted duck in a hanging oven!"
Qin Jiandan's iron hand finally let go. This was just a natural reaction in sleep, but Xiaoxia took this as the young master agreeing to the agreement between the two parties.
The female ninja turned around and ran away. She looked back several times to check because she was afraid that Qin Jiandan would chase her from behind.
"I won't break my promise! Young Master, you can treat me as your unmarried daughter-in-law... Anyway, you must ensure that the unmarried daughter-in-law's body is intact!"
In a panic, Xiaoxia ran into several mutant mosquitoes, and the teeth of the mutant crocodile almost bit her heel.
At this time, she only had one idea in her mind: ask consultant Hotaru Kazama to give her an idea!
※※※
When they ran back to the Luo Ying group's stronghold, the sky was already slightly brighter. As soon as Miyamoto Konatsu entered the Japanese-style bedroom shared by the two of them, she threw herself into Hotaru Kazama's arms and burst into tears.
"Help, Kazama Ameng! Young Master, he can't kill me no matter how hard he stabs me!"
Xiaoxia buried her face in the knees of Kazama Hotaru, who was kneeling there. Because of Kazama Hotaru's lolita body shape, she felt like an older sister was acting coquettishly to her younger sister.
Even before going to bed, Hotaru Kazama didn't change out of her secretary uniform. She had a dull facial expression under her glasses.
"It seems that the assassination failed. How about I try to stab you instead, Young Master?"
"Damn it! Now is not the time to tell dirty jokes!"
"Now is not the time for you to play Nobi Nobita and be bullied outside, so you can come home and cry to Doraemon!"
Hotaru Kazama pushed Xiaoxia's tearful face away. Although it was not rough, she did not regard Xiaoxia's face as a precious and valuable prop.
"Don't be so heartless, Xiaoying! Aren't we two good friends who talk about life and death?"
The left side of Xiaoxia's face was pushed out of shape by Hotaru Kazama's palm, causing her voice to become funny.
Hotaru Kazama said seriously: "Don't call me so close. The Kazama family has been a retainer of the Miyamoto family for generations, and the relationship between me and the lady is just like this. Just call me Kazama."
"Why is this..." Xiaoxia pursed her lips, and then her expression turned angry.
"By the way, an intelligence expert like you Kazama must know that the Steel Armor Breathing Technique can make you invulnerable even when you're asleep, right? Did you knowingly let me die on purpose?"
"No." Kazama adjusted his glasses, "I have investigated and found that the new young master is a lecher. Miss, go and assassinate him. If you fail, you will be killed by Rip at most, and he will not die."
"Asshole, isn't it a big loss to be raped?"
In order to show Kazama the tragic situation of Shuramaru and Rakshasamaru being killed in battle, Konatsu used her mouth to tear apart the strips of cloth wrapping them. As she did so, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm not surprised that the young master is a lecher...but he actually forced me, a subordinate, into marriage! This is clearly an act of sexual harassment in the workplace!"
"Forced marriage?"
Kazama, who had always maintained a poker face, became interested.
"Miss, be sure to tell me everything in detail!"
So Miyamoto Konatsu talked passionately for a long time. Whenever she talked about how she was scared and embarrassed, Kazama would smile with satisfaction.
"Well, my hobby is to watch the young lady eat up the whole Yelong Society... no, to watch the young lady eat the entire Night Dragon Society and wash away the deep hatred of the Xueluoying Group being annexed by the Night Dragon Society. That's it."
"That's it!" Xiaoxia beat the tatami on the ground with all her strength, "I am being forced into marriage by the young master! What do you think I should do to make him let me go?"
With almost no time to think, Hotaru Kazama suggested in a calm tone: "Although I have doubts about the fact that the young master actually likes you, don't you think this is an opportunity?"
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"The Luo Ying Group is just the weaker one among the four major organizations of the Night Dragon Society. The next group leader is also a fool. The future can be described as a dark night of darkness..."
"Am I not the next team leader? As a retainer, don't always try to defeat the superior!"
Fengjian glanced at her with a serious look, and Xiaoxia shrank up tremblingly, kneeling down like a student to listen to the teacher's lecture.
"No matter how many misunderstandings there are about tonight, if you, miss, can seize the young master's affection for you and really get to the point of getting married..."
"Then--?"
Xiaoxia tilted her head with questions on her face. Fengjian deliberately paused to leave time for Xiaoxia to comprehend on his own, but this generation of family masters was insufferable.
"Then you can become the young master's wife, the president's wife, and the eldest sister of the entire Night Dragon Society! Compared to the assassination route, which is less successful and more likely to lead to failure, wouldn't normal people choose the marriage route?"
"!!" Xiaoxia made a fist with her left hand and smashed it into the palm of her right hand, as if she was just waking up from a dream.
"It's too late today, miss, go to bed now! I will go with you at the cadre meeting tomorrow. You must support the young master on all issues. At the critical moment when you don't know how to make a choice, I will wink at you. !”
