Sakai Kyoko was quite confident in the set of photos she had sent out, believing Cheng Xiaofan would be pleased. Not only pleased, but he should be captivated by her image in the photos. Hmph, he must be busy and hasn't seen my pictures yet. If he had seen them, he would have scrambled here to profess his love! Of course! Unless he's not a man! Sakai Kyoko kept reassuring herself, urging herself not to be impatient. By afternoon, or at the latest by tomorrow morning, Cheng Xiaofan would surely come!
At noon, the construction site on the back hill of Zhuxi Village was filled with the aroma of wild boar meat. Braised and clear stewed, it had to be said, the chefs here were quite skilled; the scent alone could greatly whet one's appetite. With delicious food at lunch, Po Tianying naturally did not leave. Taolibao, with his ten white swans, followed the scent, and the nine fiery-red Ground-Drilling Rats were not to be outdone, also rushing over. Cheng Xiaofan unscrewed the cap of "Qian Ri Zui" and poured a cup for Han Jie and himself. "Cousin, taste this wine!" Cheng Xiaofan raised his cup to him. With a gulp, they each took a sip. Han Jie's eyes immediately narrowed, he smacked his lips, and praised, "What a fine wine! Delicious. Where did you get it!" "Haha, a friend from the Northeast gave it to me!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Among baijiu, this is top-notch!" At the construction site, only Cheng Xiaofan and Han Jie were drinking; no one else did. It was clearly stipulated that no one was allowed to drink while working, for fear of mistakes or accidents. However, Han Jie was an exception. He was invited by Bai Yiling to help and had his freedom. Drink and then rest, don't wander around. "Xiaofan, you said you only took down over twenty wild boars today. Will the remaining wild boars retaliate?" As the main person in charge of the construction team, Han Jie asked Cheng Xiaofan with some concern. Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Cousin, you can rest assured. After these twenty-odd wild boars were eliminated today, they have been left with a psychological shadow that can never be erased. I estimate they will go out of their way to avoid anyone they see and won't dare to come and harass us." "Hearing you say that, I feel relieved!" Han Jie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. After lunch, Cheng Xiaofan returned to the bamboo pavilion on the back hill. He first boiled a pot of water, brewed a cup of golden tea for himself, then lay on the rocking chair, took out his phone, and opened the photos sent by Sakai Kyoko. When he saw the photos, Cheng Xiaofan felt a strong sense of shock. Each photo seemed to have been taken in a secret room. Sakai Kyoko was half-crouching on a bed, striking various poses, each exuding a palpable ambiguity that made one's heart flutter. A red bedspread. Pink gauze curtains. A dress as thin as cicada wings, draped over her body like clouds and mist. Various flowers were neatly arranged around the bed... Suddenly, across the phone screen, the scent of flowers and the fragrance emanating from Sakai Kyoko wafted towards him. Smelling this intoxicating aroma, Sakai Kyoko on the phone began to move. Excellent! What were originally still photos now transformed into a sound film. "Master, come on, come!" "Your slave girl is waiting for you, don't break your slave girl's heart!" "Master, you must learn to exercise your master's rights and command your slave girl!" "Remember, I am your slave girl for life, forever at your beck and call. I will do anything you ask. I am a very obedient cat!" "If you like, you can call me a cat slave too!" Her incredibly charming voice struck Cheng Xiaofan's heart again and again. At that moment, he found his heart softening into water. Even! He felt a dizzying sensation! His whole being was about to sink into a gentle paradise! "Damn!" Cheng Xiaofan exclaimed, sobering up. He quickly grabbed his cup and took a sip of tea. Immediately, he felt sweat drenching his body. What's wrong with me? He looked at the photos on his phone in confusion. The most captivating part of Sakai Kyoko's photos were her eyes. He found that once his gaze lingered on her eyes, he felt a dizzying sensation as if he were drunk. Merely looking at the photos could be so seductive as to bewitch him. What would happen if he met her in person? A female cultivator's charm technique? As these four words popped into his mind, Cheng Xiaofan shivered completely, becoming thoroughly clear-headed. This was an evil art of female ancient martial cultivation from the Land of Cherry Blossoms, specifically designed to deal with men. The higher the level of the female cultivator's charm technique, the more beautiful she would be, and the more powerful her allure. Therefore, once a man was bewitched by such a female cultivator, he would become like a slave, at her beck and call, eventually becoming her puppet. Upon understanding this truth, a barely perceptible flicker of anger crossed Cheng Xiaofan's eyes. This woman is truly wicked! She claimed to be my slave girl, but her ultimate goal was to make me her male slave! What was her purpose? To take me back to the Land of Cherry Blossoms to serve her forever? Suddenly! A thought flashed through Cheng Xiaofan's mind! He remembered that after Long Xiaotian seized the leadership position from Jiang Feijiao, he reported to him that a Sakai Nezumi from the Land of Cherry Blossoms had come to the Jiang family to propose to Jiang Xueyan. Could this Sakai Kyoko be related to Sakai Nezumi? Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan called Long Xiaotian. Long Xiaotian thought Cheng Xiaofan was calling about Tu Biao's matter and quickly said, "Master, I have handled Tu Biao's matter. I have absorbed him into the reclusive powerful families. With the background of the reclusive powerful families, no one will dare to touch him now!" "I forgot to report to you in time, this is my fault, disciple!" Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "You've worked hard, Long Xiaotian. I'm not calling you about Tu Biao this time." "I remember you told me that Jiang Feijiao had a very close relationship with the Sakai family from the Land of Cherry Blossoms. How much do you know about the Sakai family?" Long Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Cheng Xiaofan was interested in the Sakai family from the Land of Cherry Blossoms. However, since it was something his master was concerned about, there must be a reason. As a disciple, he shouldn't ask too many questions, just do his job well. "Reporting to Master," Long Xiaotian quickly said, "According to my understanding, Sakai Nezumi's father is named Sakai Kazuo, from Yamaguchi Prefecture. He comes from an ancient martial arts family and is also a famous wealthy businessman in the Land of Cherry Blossoms!" "Jiang Feijiao and Sakai Kazuo's business dealings led to closer contact." "Sakai Kazuo has one son and one daughter. The son is Sakai Nezumi, and the daughter is named Sakai Kyoko. It is said that because she was beautiful, she was once chosen as the national flower of the Land of Cherry Blossoms!" "Master, this is all I know about Sakai Kazuo." Cheng Xiaofan pondered for a moment and said, "After you took the Northern Commander position from Jiang Feijiao, did Sakai Kazuo have any reaction?" Long Xiaotian paused slightly and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Master, Sakai Kazuo seemed to have no reaction to this matter!"
