Facing the hopeful look in Chikako Mochizuki's eyes.
Lu Jun pulled his hand back after thoroughly running it all over her, savoring the aftertaste, and said blandly, "If I help you, what's in it for me?"
The moment he said that, Chikako Mochizuki was about to explode he had groped her all over, and now this jerk still had the audacity to ask what benefit he'd get?
Bear! Bear! Bear!
She clenched her teeth and was about to speak, but then saw Lu Jun suddenly light the candle in front of the table. The faint, warm orange glow illuminated the room with an antique charm.
The next moment, Chikako Mochizuki felt her delicate body go light, her jade-like back suddenly pressing heavily against the floor, and her chest violently bounced up and down.
Her entire body was forced into a supine position, looking up at Lu Jun from below, her heart racing like a startled fawn. Panic set in, and her breath quickened.
Originally, she thought sneaking into Lu Jun's room and seducing him into teaming up with her was a brilliant idea, but now it turned out to be the worst plan ever.
She hadn't expected this man to have eaten meat before he didn't fall for her charms at all.
Suddenly, Chikako Mochizuki realized her situation was extremely dangerous. Was he really going to do that to her? If things really did go that way, she wouldn't be able to resist at all, and even if she cried out, no one would believe her.
She was a girl who had taken the initiative to sneak into someone else's room in the middle of the night even if she was in the right, there was no way to explain herself clearly.
Especially in Japan, a society that often casts judgmental eyes on women.
Now, no one could help her even if she cried out it was her own fault for being reckless.
As Chikako Mochizuki trembled inside, Lu Jun stood high above her, gazing down and examining this elegant and gentle yamato nadeshiko beauty with a mature allure.
The woman wore a light kimono robe, her face flushed red, her collarbones delicate, her skin glowing like milk, and her expression filled with a pitiful charm.
Chikako Mochizuki, on the verge of tears, softly pleaded, "Let me go."
Upon hearing that, Lu Jun shook his head but didn't do anything further. He stood up and walked to the window.
Seeing this, Chikako Mochizuki was momentarily dazed, then slowly calmed the worries in her heart. She shyly tidied herself up, feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over, wishing she could take a bath immediately.
But she didn't dare to move not even daring to get angry over being groped.
After a moment of silence, Chikako Mochizuki asked, "Lu Jun, what do you want?"
Lu Jun smiled slightly, knowing this woman was now completely under his control, and said nonchalantly, "Go take a shower and change into that outfit."
Hearing this, she looked toward the bathroom door at the black tactical outfit hanging there, instantly understanding his intention. She felt a flicker of joy in her heart he had agreed to go with her and infiltrate the Eastern Guard Pavilion.
Then Lu Jun said flatly, "But I have one condition. Everything gained from the Eastern Guard Pavilion belongs to me."
Chikako Mochizuki was confused. It's just a prison, what could possibly be gained from it? But right now, she didn't care she agreed immediately.
It wasn't until she entered the bathroom that it hit her she was bathing in a stranger's home? And that stranger was a foreigner she had only met once and could leave at any time.
If Lu Jun outside decided to do something, wouldn't she be…?
Standing at the door, Chikako Mochizuki was filled with wild thoughts. She gritted her teeth and stepped into the shower no time to be a prude.
Lu Jun leisurely listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom, easily imagining the beautiful scene inside.
Yet he stood tall and steady, his mind occupied with thoughts of his Women. It was already tiring enough juggling between the three women—at least they knew each other and had some mutual understanding.
If he actually brought home a Japanese woman none of them knew, he'd definitely get beaten to death.
So even though Lu Jun was feeling hot all over, he didn't dare act rashly. Besides, Chikako Mochizuki simply hadn't reacted yet once she did, she'd surely come after him.
Not long after, the sound of the shower stopped. Chikako Mochizuki emerged with a flushed face, her long black hair damp and clinging to her back.
Lu Jun's eyes lit up the woman now wore a sleek black tactical outfit, exuding the aura of a female investigator. The outfit had been placed in his portable space by his sister, and it happened to fit perfectly.
You could say an older woman's figure was just naturally curvy.
At this moment, Lu Jun admired her for a while, then turned his gaze back to the window. Behind him, Chikako Mochizuki hesitated to speak, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Finally, he saw a shadow wriggling in the hallway Mo Fan's anxious figure appeared.
"Old Lu, I've got something strange to tell you."
Then, Mo Fan quickly explained everything he had seen.
Mo Fan had also seen the gray-blue bellflower vines that had killed the guards at the Eastern Guard Pavilion, and he suspected Chikako Mochizuki.
Because Chikako, as one of the National Institute instructors, had used the same kind of plant magic when guiding students after their defeat, he had decided to tail her.
Coincidentally, this time Chikako Mochizuki had approached Lu Jun herself, and when Mo Fan went to check the other woman's room, it was empty, which led to a misunderstanding, so he came to speak with Lu Jun.
"It's someone else's country. Why do you care so much?"
Lu Jun first ridiculed Mo Fan, then tilted his head back, motioning behind him: "You misunderstood. She's here with me."
Only then did Mo Fan see the beautiful Japanese female instructor inside the room, now dressed in different clothes. When he noticed the kimono on the ground, he was dumbfounded.
Anyone would easily get the wrong idea.
"Impressive!" Mo Fan was convinced. He gave a thumbs-up and said, "Seriously impressive."
He and that good-for-nothing Zhao Manyan were still arm-in-arm, boasting about how they'd sow seeds around the world, but in reality, they hadn't taken any action at all. Even if they did, it would just be to visit a red-light district.
There was no comparison to Lu Jun casually hooking up with a noble Japanese lady from an influential family National Institute instructor no less. What a thrill.
Chikako Mochizuki's face turned red with anger. She wished she could tear Mo Fan's mouth apart.
Lu Jun didn't bother explaining. Smiling, he said, "Weren't you looking for a method to unleash power like the Demon Remains? There's something like that in the Eastern Guard Pavilion. Interested in going in with us? She's a local she can lead the way."
Truthfully, without Mo Fan's Shadow Magic, it would be very difficult to get into this kind of restricted zone. The Night Thunder Dream Beast's size was too big and couldn't squeeze through the gaps in the formation arrays.
Besides, the guy had helped him before Lu Jun was happy to return the favor.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and after a brief hesitation, he nodded.
Chikako Mochizuki beside them raised her eyebrows. She didn't think it was appropriate to bring a third person along so casually, but the moment Lu Jun gave her a glare, she had nothing more to say she still needed his help, after all.
The three of them quickly packed up and stealthily headed toward the cliffside where the Eastern Guard Pavilion was located.
On the way, Chikako Mochizuki briefly explained the situation with her older brother, Iwada, to Mo Fan, and Mo Fan finally understood.
Soon, with a guide leading the way, the three of them smoothly avoided the restrictions and infiltrated the Eastern Guard Pavilion.
Mo Fan and Chikako Mochizuki still appeared quite tense only Lu Jun remained calm. With his identity as the Team Captain of the Kyushu National Institute, even if the local military commander noticed them, he wouldn't be able to do much.
Besides, Japan wasn't clean to begin with. If the Red Demon incident were to be exposed, even the Holy City would come to investigate.
As soon as they stepped into the Eastern Guard Pavilion, they felt a wave of discomfort in their bodies. The air was filled with a faint aura of curses.
Before Chikako Mochizuki could say anything, Lu Jun spoke up: "This is a Cursed Domain. It constantly drains the soul origin of the imprisoned criminals, but we're only staying a short while it won't affect us."
Down the dungeon corridor, they had barely taken a few steps when four guards approached head-on.
Mo Fan immediately used Shadow Magic to cloak their presence. Lu Jun secretly activated a mid-tier Psychic spell, Mental Invisibility. The group narrowly avoided detection and, without alerting anyone, found the stone chamber where Chikako Mochizuki's elder brother, Iwada, was held.
Chikako Mochizuki hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. She quickly looked into the stone chamber and, seeing the man inside, immediately became emotional.
