"Yiling, get some rest early. After all, Watanabe Iwao, who we'll be dealing with tomorrow, is a madman among martial cultivators!"
Cheng Xiaofan gently stroked Bai Yiling's head, secretly channeling a wisp of spiritual energy into her as he spoke.
Bai Yiling nodded. "Xiaofan, you should sleep early too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her beautiful eyes, nestled in Cheng Xiaofan's arms, and drifted into dreamland.
Cheng Xiaofan carefully moved Bai Yiling from his embrace and placed her on the bed. He quietly covered her with a blanket.
By this time, the night was deep. Downstairs, Matsuki Chiyoko made a phone call to Sakai Kazuo.
While she was on the phone with Sakai Kazuo, Cheng Xiaofan activated his Dragon Eye perspective, his gaze piercing through the second floor to the ground floor, fixed intently on her.
He absorbed their entire conversation into his ears, word for word.
"Mr. Sakai, tonight Cheng Xiaofan has arrived from Huaxia with his fiancée and is staying at my inn!" Matsuki Chiyoko said.
Upon hearing this, Sakai Kazuo's voice immediately came through the phone. "Haha, excellent. I predicted he would arrive tonight, and that he would definitely stay at your inn."
"Last time, that brat got the better of us and annihilated the Blood Demon Sect. But this time, he won't get away with anything. After all, Watanabe Iwao is so ruthless that even ghosts fear him."
"Furthermore, Yoshida Yasei is not only Watanabe Iwao's sworn brother, but he has long suspected that Cheng Xiaofan was involved in the annihilation of the Blood Demon Sect."
"Matsushita Koto transferred all the industries of the Blood Demon Sect under Cheng Xiaofan's name. Yoshida Yasei is not a fool; anyone with eyes can see it."
Sakai Kazuo couldn't help but laugh heartily at this point. "Cheng Xiaofan coming to our doorstep this time is clearly seeking death. If he wants to live, he must hand over all his Rejuvenation Pills to Watanabe Iwao for management."
"Watanabe Iwao has always had a good relationship with me since his debut. He said that once Cheng Xiaofan is under control, he will return half of the industries he occupied from the Blood Demon Sect to me!"
Matsuki Chiyoko said, "Mr. Sakai, Watanabe Iwao has always been insidious and vicious. He wouldn't be so kind as to return half of the industries he occupied from you, would he?"
Sakai Kazuo laughed. "You make a very good point. In the past, my good relationship with Watanabe Iwao was, frankly, based on mutual exploitation in the business world."
"This time, Watanabe Iwao, in order to control Matsushita Koto, has specifically captured her aunt, Matsushita Taiko, and is holding her in my temple."
"Matsushita Koto was orphaned at a young age and was raised entirely by her aunt. Her aunt even remained unmarried for the sake of her niece."
"It can be said that for the sake of her aunt, Matsushita Koto will no longer help Cheng Xiaofan, no matter what."
"Cheng Xiaofan has lost Matsushita Koto in Sakura Country. According to the regulations for registered joint-stock companies in our country, foreigners lose control of the company!"
Matsuki Chiyoko said, "What if Cheng Xiaofan simply admits defeat and gives up ownership of the companies registered here?"
Sakai Kazuo coldly sneered. "Since Cheng Xiaofan has come this time, we won't let him escape back home. You see, Matsushita Koto has already publicized Cheng Xiaofan's Rejuvenation Pills. If he doesn't produce them, according to Sakura Country's laws, he will be charged with fraud."
"At that time, Yoshida Yasei can use this charge to arrest him."
"Watanabe Iwao's goal is to completely cripple Cheng Xiaofan when he appears tomorrow. Then, the joint-stock company can still be registered under Cheng Xiaofan's name, but he will be kept in Sakura Country to work for Watanabe Iwao his entire life!"
Upon hearing this, Matsuki Chiyoko laughed. "This Yoshida Yasei has ruthless methods. Cheng Xiaofan is in for a terrible time."
"It's a pity that the beautiful woman who came with him will probably suffer the ravages of Watanabe Iwao!"
Sakai Kazuo laughed. "It's laughable that this Cheng Xiaofan is treated like a mythical figure in Huaxia. Coming to Sakura Country this time will be the end of him!"
"Chiyoko, I'm very happy today. I'm about to open a bottle of champagne and have a big piece of beef to celebrate!"
Matsuki Chiyoko chuckled. "Congratulations, Mr. Sakai. Starting tomorrow, your biggest worry will finally be removed!"
"I won't disturb your pleasant mood!"
After hanging up the phone, Matsuki Chiyoko, feeling elated, began to twist her slender waist and hummed a tune as she danced the traditional Sakura Country dance, "Awa Odori."
"This pair of scoundrels, they're too pleased with themselves!" Cheng Xiaofan retracted his Dragon Eye perspective and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
However!
From the conversation between these two, Cheng Xiaofan gained a crucial piece of information.
That was that Matsushita Koto's aunt was being held in Sakai Kazuo's temple.
Matsushita Koto had an unusual relationship with her aunt, Matsushita Taiko. Upon learning that her aunt had fallen into Watanabe Iwao's hands, it would certainly affect her emotions.
Although his Dragon Power could exert absolute control over Matsushita Koto, under special circumstances, she might not be able to withstand the impact of losing a loved one.
In tomorrow's confrontation with Watanabe Iwao, he had to stabilize Matsushita Koto's mood and prevent her from wavering.
However, this was absolutely no challenge for Cheng Xiaofan.
They want me to end in Sakura Country?
Haha!
What I need to do now is to create a mythical persona in Sakura Country, making all of you bow before me and worship me sooner or later!
You want to fight me?
Are you qualified?
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and walked out of the bedroom.
After closing the door, he inscribed an attack talisman on it.
If anyone tried to open this door in his absence, they would be struck by a powerful blow.
At that time, Bai Yiling would surely be awakened and be prepared for self-defense.
Cheng Xiaofan wasn't worried at all about his "White Goddess" being harmed once she was awake.
Not only had her combat skills reached a certain level, but she also wore matching pairs of jade blood sandalwood bead bracelets on both her wrists.
Each string of beads possessed immense offensive power.
The reason Cheng Xiaofan dared to bring his "White Goddess" to Sakura Country for real combat this time was also due to the pair of bead bracelets she wore.
After setting up the attack talisman on the door, Cheng Xiaofan immediately walked to the balcony, pulled open the window, and leaped out.
Sensing his call, the Heaven-Breaking Eagle immediately appeared before him.
Then, Cheng Xiaofan flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the Heaven-Breaking Eagle's back.
"Heaven-Breaking Eagle, let's go, take me to the temple we went to last time!" Cheng Xiaofan gently patted the eagle's head and commanded.
Tonight, he had to rescue Matsushita Taiko.
"Jee!"
The Heaven-Breaking Eagle merely responded with a soft chirp and flew towards their destination.
The distance from here to the temple where Sakai Kazuo resided was not far. For the Heaven-Breaking Eagle, it would take but a blink of an eye to fly there.
