A journey through the underworld, starting from the Tsubakihara family.

Page 96

Already frustrated from her wasted trip, she went out again today to look for clues, only to unexpectedly run into her most unwanted nemesis.

The witch retorted without backing down: "Is that so? It's much better than some guy who tries to cover up his filthy and twisted personality with all white."

“You really dare to say that, Annerose.”

"You're the same, Li Meifeng."

"Hehehe..."

"Giggle..."

Both of them were laughing, but there was no real joy in their eyes.

The tense atmosphere seemed to solidify into a tangible force, making it hard to breathe.

The feud between the two was common knowledge in Amitabha Plain, so passersby on the street were running as far away as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Anne-Loz raised her hand and drew the demonic sword Vajra Yaksha, while Li Mei-Feng also held a long whip.

War is imminent.

Just then, a discordant voice abruptly broke in.

"Gentlemen, could you do me the honor of not fighting today?"

Chapter 134 White Snake

Huh?

The sudden sound caused Anne-Lorze and Li Meifeng, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, to stop what they were doing at the same time.

The two looked toward the source of the sound.

A figure strolled out from the street corner at a leisurely pace; it was none other than Makoto Jingu.

Upon seeing who it was, the two powerful women experienced drastically different emotions.

Li Meifeng's snake-like eyes suddenly narrowed, a mixture of murderous intent and vigilance swirling within them.

She was completely unaware of this person's presence, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

This shows that this person is a strong person.

Such an unpredictable variable is enough to change the course of the battle.

On the other side, Annerose looked at Jingu Makoto with curiosity.

The faint sense of connection deep within her soul made her realize that the boy before her seemed to be the contractor she had sensed.

"What do you want to do?" Li Meifeng spoke first, wanting to understand the visitor's intentions.

"Didn't I already say that?" Jingu Makoto shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"I'm here to mediate the fight. By the way, I have something to discuss with both of you."

Li Meifeng's eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea instantly took shape.

“Oh? Then how about this?” She licked her scarlet lips, her tone full of temptation, “How about you join forces with me to take down this eyesore, Annerose?”

"Once she falls into our hands, whatever you desire from her will be readily available. The Kowloon Society will also reward you handsomely afterward."

Upon hearing this, Annerose gripped the Vajra Yaksha tightly, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.

She stared intently at Makoto Jingu, wanting to see what he would choose.

"Hmm, that sounds like a pretty good suggestion."

Shingu Makoto nodded solemnly.

A smug smile curved at the corners of Li Meifeng's lips.

However, Jingu Makoto's next words instantly froze the smile on her face.

"But the problem is, I want to ask Miss Annerose to do something for me. If you really manage to capture her, she'll be lucky to escape with her life, and then how will I be able to complete the task?"

"So, you're determined to help this woman?"

Li Meifeng's voice turned cold.

“That’s right. And your suggestion just now gave me a great idea.”

Makoto Jingu turned to look at Annerose.

"How about we join forces and take down this white snake first?"

Seeing the gaze from Makoto Jingu and feeling the connection between their souls, Annerose made almost no hesitation.

"Okay!" she readily agreed, even giving a playful wink.

"If you can really win her over, I can give you a 50% discount on this commission."

Li Meifeng, standing to the side, felt like she was about to explode with anger, and her already impressive bust seemed to have grown even larger.

"Fine, very well. Since you two are so eager to become a pair of doomed lovers, then I will grant your wish."

She suddenly waved her hand and commanded:

"You guys get him! Hold that Rust Witch back!"

"As for him, I'll take care of him."

As soon as she finished speaking, the group of well-trained assassins behind her moved immediately.

They spread out like ghosts, their footsteps intertwined, instantly surrounding Annerose.

"Be careful of that woman's poison; it's very troublesome."

Anne-Loz remained completely calm and even offered a reminder to Makoto Jingu.

As Jingu Makoto watched Li Meifeng walk towards him step by step, his expression became slightly strange.

Choosing me as your opponent? You've picked the wrong person.

Li Meifeng's witch power is poison, but she is not a witch; she is human.

During an assassination mission, she captured a witch and transplanted the source of her magic onto herself in the form of a "tattoo," thus gaining the witch's power.

What Jingu Makoto was after was her ability to plunder the essence of witches.

Li Meifeng knew that her opponent was not simple, so she went all out from the start.

Swah——

Her figure suddenly swayed, and dozens of identical figures materialized on the spot, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The next moment, countless darts, shimmering with an eerie green light, shot towards Shingu Makoto from all directions, blocking all his escape routes.

At the same time, she flicked her long whip, which transformed into a ferocious, roaring giant white serpent in the air, lunging straight at Shingu Makoto.

The white poisonous mist spewed from the giant snake's mouth, before it even hit the ground, began to sizzle and emit plumes of smoke as it corroded the hard stone street.

"His movements, hidden weapons, and poison attacks are quite comprehensive."

"What a pity, you ran into me."

Ninety percent of Li Meifeng's strength comes from the white energy snake that was transplanted into her body.

However, Makoto Shingu is the host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet.

How dare a snake compete with a dragon for glory?

A dragon's roar that shook the mountains resounded, and Li Meifeng felt her soul tremble violently. The white energy snake within her body let out a mournful cry, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Her momentum crumbled instantly.

Then, Makoto Jingu slowly raised his right hand.

He didn't even strike any complicated pose; he simply pushed his hand forward casually.

A thick, crimson beam of light swept through the entire street with overwhelming force!

"Pfft——!"

Taking the aftershock of the attack head-on, Li Meifeng felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. She let out a shrill groan and flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"A dragon... damn it."

Her eyes were filled with horror and resentment.

"How could this rust be so lucky?"

Li Meifeng dared not linger for a moment. She endured the excruciating pain, and with a "bang," her body transformed into a thick cloud of white poisonous mist, rapidly fleeing into the distance and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jingu Makoto wasn't in a hurry to give chase. After all, the attack he just delivered had left a mark, so it wouldn't matter if he came looking for him later.

Meanwhile, Annerose's battle had also ended.

Those assassins were quite skilled, but they were no match for her and were easily dealt with in no time.

Recalling what had just happened, Annie Rose walked up to Makoto Jingu and asked curiously, "Are you a dragon?"

Since Jingu Makoto had only activated a wisp of the Gauntlet's aura and had not fully unleashed it, coupled with his obvious human characteristics, Annerose subconsciously categorized him as a dragon-human among demi-humans.

Upon hearing this, Makoto Jingu smiled and shook his head: "As for me, I'm human."

Such powerful dragon might... could it be human?

A thought flashed through Anne-Lorz's mind.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and since the other person didn't want to talk about it, she didn't bother to ask.

"Anyway, thank you for your help this time, but it's a pity that the earth snake still got away."

She sheathed the demon sword and extended her hand to Shingu Makoto.

"By the way, let's get to know each other again. My name is Annerose, and I'm a detective."

“Makoto Jingu.” He gently squeezed her hand. “An ordinary high school student.”

A regular high school student?

Anne-Loz's lips twitched violently, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back.

"You said you had a request for me, what exactly is it?" She decided to get down to business first.

“It’s very simple,” Jingu Makoto said succinctly, “I want to see the Red Queen Aishu.”

Are you looking for Ai Xiu, that woman?

Anne-Lorze gave a "I knew it" look.

She and Aishu were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, which was no secret in Amida.

However, she really didn't want to take the initiative to go to that guy.

Every time they met, he couldn't help but be teased from head to toe by that nasty woman.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Makoto Jingu didn't say a word, but took out a check from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of money."

Seeing the string of zeros on the check, Anne-Lorze immediately stopped hesitating.

"Leave it to me. I'll take you to see her tomorrow."

There was nothing I could do; he gave me just too much!

"Very good. There will be a reward after the matter is done."

With system points available anyway, money is just a number to Makoto Shingu.

"Ahem..." Seeing how generous Jingu Makoto was, Annerose felt a little embarrassed. "Well, to show my gratitude, how about I treat you to a meal?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jingu Makoto take a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost.

“Huh? What’s this…” Anne-Loz was stunned.

“No need,” Jingu Seiji refused firmly. “I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to. I’ll come to the detective agency to see you tomorrow.”

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Just kidding, he didn't want to experience that devilish maid's culinary disaster.

Anne-Loz stood alone on the empty street, staring blankly at his disappearing figure.

It took her a long time to realize what it meant.
