His gaze held a hint of aggression as he stared directly into Aishu's alluring eyes.

“Anne Lorze is sleeping right now, and it’s just the two of us in this room. Aren’t you worried I might hurt you since you’re so close to me?”

"Heh, if you've got the guts, then..."

Ai Xiu's fawning smile had just appeared, and his provocative words were not yet finished.

The next instant, her figure vanished from the spot without warning, and when she reappeared, she was back in her office chair.

The witch's intuition told her that if she really said those words, the man would definitely attack her without hesitation.

interesting.

Aishu re-examined the black-haired youth in front of him, and his contempt and amusement lessened considerably.

It seems that easily defeating the White Snake Li Meifeng was indeed no fluke.

She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped lightly on the table.

"Boom."

An invisible wave spread out and reached Annerose's ears precisely.

"Well……"

The witch on the sofa stretched lazily, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and sat up.

"Aishu, you've finally arrived."

She yawned, then stood up and said to Jingu Makoto, "You two talk amongst yourselves, I'm going back now."

"Oh, by the way, remember to pay me the final payment at the detective agency later."

After saying that, the sleepy witch swordswoman left without lingering, as she needed to hurry back to catch up on her sleep.

Once again, only Makoto Jingu and Aishu remained in the large room.

The atmosphere, however, was completely different from before.

Ai Xiu abandoned his nonchalant attitude, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and revealed a section of his round and firm calves encased in leather pants.

"So, Mr. Jingu, what brings you to me specifically through Anne?"

She added with a smile, "By the way, would you be interested in participating in my arena? With your skill level, the prize money would be very generous."

Jingu Makoto didn't respond to her immediately, but instead leisurely walked to the huge sofa and sat down.

He raised his eyes, looking at the Red Queen with great interest, and slowly began to speak.

"The Philosopher's Stone."

He uttered a noun.

Then, another name was mentioned.

"Barud Barut".

The moment the words fell.

Aishu's confident smile vanished instantly.

Chapter 139 Divination

In the darkness, a deadly sense of crisis coiled around Aishu's heart like a venomous snake.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in her heart, and stared intently at Shingu Makoto with her narrow, fox-like eyes.

"What exactly do you know?"

Seeing her like this, Jingu Makoto knew that the fish had taken the bait.

He chuckled, leaned back on the sofa, and said casually, "My information doesn't come cheap."

Upon hearing this, Aishu's tense body relaxed a little.

Having requirements is a good thing.

"What do you want?" She regained her Red Queen demeanor, lightly tapping her fingertip on the table. "Anything I can do, I can give you."

She was quite generous in keeping her own life.

“I’m very interested in magic and arcane arts,” Jingu Makoto said without mincing words. “Oh, and artifacts are pretty good too.”

He believed that the collection of this Amitabha's original richest woman would not disappoint him.

"can."

Aishu nodded without hesitation.

The two quickly signed a contract.

As the contract was established, the magical light flashed and disappeared. Feeling the faint connection between the two, Aishu felt much more relaxed.

She looked at Jingu Makoto, a charming smile returning to her lips: "Now you can speak, my partner?"

With a wave of his hand, Makoto Jingu created an invisible magnetic field barrier that enveloped the entire room, preventing any possibility of prying into the room.

Then, he briefly explained Barut's plan.

After listening, Aishu closed his eyes.

After a long while, she opened her eyes again, her expression very solemn.

"Besides the magician you mentioned, other forces have also made their moves."

Oh, there are experts too?

This surprised Jingu Makoto somewhat.

Could it be that his appearance caused Barut to change his plans?

"Mr. Jingu, have you had any contact with that magician?" Aishu asked.

Jingu Makoto thought for a moment and nodded.

When the slave caravan was destroyed, Balut's clone was secretly watching from the shadows.

"That's it, I understand."

Aishu seemed to have made up her mind. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "As a witch, my source power is related to fate, so I am very proficient in divination."

"I was completely unaware that the enemy had attacked me this time. This means that either there is a powerful diviner in the opposing camp, or their status is extremely high, beyond the scope of my regular divination."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to Jingu Makoto.

"Therefore, I plan to use my strongest divination technique—fluid divination."

"This technique requires obtaining bodily fluids through the most primitive form of adhesive bonding. I have never used it before, but this time, I have to make an exception."

As expected, it has come to this.

Jingu Makoto recalled that in the story, Balt subdued the Red Queen by smearing poison on a gun.

However, since Tachibana Rikuro is no longer here, there is no danger.

He looked up and met Ai Xiu's gaze: "Are you sure you want to use this kind of secret technique on me, whom you've only just met?"

"It's a matter of life and death, I had no choice." Aishu bent down, his warm breath brushing against his face. "Besides, with a handsome guy like you, I might be the one who's lucky."

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Seeing that Jingu Makoto's expression remained unchanged, she straightened up, her face returning to a serious expression. "The reason I chose you is because you have had contact with Balto. Using you as the medium will make the divination most effective."

Of course, there's another reason Aishu didn't mention.

That is, she trusted Anne-Lorz's judgment.

The fact that the proud witch swordswoman was willing to bring a man to her place, and even fall asleep in front of him without any defenses, was itself a silent act of trust.

“I understand.” Jingu Seiya didn’t refuse; he was equally interested in Bart’s future plans. “Shall we begin?”

"Wait a minute."

Ai Xiu sniffed him lightly with her pert nose, then narrowed her fox-like eyes and said with a hint of disdain:

"Go take a shower first. You smell like another woman, which will affect the accuracy of my divination."

After saying that, she turned around first and walked towards the door, swaying her hot waist.

Outside the door, the female secretary immediately came forward: "Your Majesty, is there anything you need?"

"Go and prepare, I want to take a bath."

"Yes."

“Let’s go.” Aishu raised an eyebrow at Jingu Makoto.

Makoto Jingu followed her into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator stopped and the doors opened, a misty spray mixed with the scent of roses rushed out.

Before me was a huge bath, about the size of a hot spring, with water that was a pale milky white color and countless bright red rose petals floating on the surface.

Several maids were pouring some liquid that emitted spiritual energy into the pool.

Makoto Jingu watched this scene and sighed.

They really know how to enjoy life.

"Two of you come and help Mr. Jingu and me change our clothes," Aishu instructed.

Two maids immediately came over.

One of them walked up to Jingu Makoto and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Jingu, please come with me."

Makoto Jingu followed her into a changing room.

The maid's movements were very professional and gentle.

But when Makoto Jingu's assets were exposed to the public, a look of amazement and a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

No wonder... Her Majesty the Queen, who never gets close to men, made an exception and bathed with a man this time.

Jingu Makoto was unaware of the maid's ulterior motives. After changing into his bathrobe, he left the room.

At the same time, Aishu also came out of another room.

She changed into a very thin red gauze dress, her brown skin faintly visible beneath it.

The pair of rounded, full peaks stood tall and proud, their two dark spots peeking through the thin gauze, appearing exceptionally alluring.

Aishu looked at Jingu Makoto's well-defined, muscular body and unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Okay, you all go down."

"Yes."

The maids bowed and withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the vast bathhouse.

The two stepped into the warm pool together.

Rippling water, rose petals gathered and scattered around them as they moved.

Aishu slithered over like a beautiful snake, almost clinging tightly to Jingu Makoto's body.

She stretched out her slender fingers and deftly untied the belt around his waist.

Her hand traced down his firm abdominal muscles...

"Hiss, you..."

A hint of speechlessness appeared in Ai Xiu's eyes.

"Are you really human?"

Jingu Makoto was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You two really are best friends. Annerose asked me the same question. Let me make it clear, I am a genuine human."

"Ahem, I see." As his fingers traced the surface of such a ferocious beast, Aishu felt a strange mix of nervousness and curiosity.

What would happen if we put something like that in?

Ai Xiu decided to test the waters first.

She raised her head, her alluring fox-like eyes sparkling with a unique charm.

"This is the most important medium for the divination later, so it needs to be cleaned properly."

Before she finished speaking, she slowly sank into the water, leaving only her long, light purple hair floating on the surface.
