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

Then he cheered and pounced on it.

"If you don't get up soon, the sun will be shining on your bottom, Rinko-nee!"

"Well!"

Akiyama Rinko felt a chill on her body, and then a petite figure bumped into her arms.

She opened her eyes, looked at Yukikaze who was laughing like a little fox in her arms, and sighed helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'll get up."

The girl secretly resolved to finish the task quickly and efficiently.

As Akiyama Rinko was about to get up, she suddenly noticed that Mizushiro Yukikaze was staring at her with wide eyes and a look of surprise on her face.

"Rinko-nee, I remember we always wore pajamas when we slept, right? How come you..."

Her gaze shifted downwards, her voice filled with shock.

"And what are these red spots on your body?"

?!

Rinko Akiyama then remembered that she still had evidence left on her body by that bad guy after he committed the crime.

The girl's mind raced, and in a split second, she came up with a brilliant idea:

"Ah... well, it's because I felt a bit hot yesterday, so I took it off."

"As for these mosquitoes! There are just too many mosquitoes in the middle of summer."

After saying that, Akiyama Rinko practically scrambled off the bed and fled towards the bathroom without looking back.

"I...I'm going to wash up first!"

Ouch...it's so sour.

Watching Akiyama Rinko's almost fleeing figure, Mizushiro Yukikaze's lips twitched involuntarily.

Who are you kidding?! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

This isn't a mosquito bite; it looks like it was chewed by a dog!

As Mizuki Yukikaze thought about it, her cheeks involuntarily flushed, but fortunately, her skin tone was a healthy wheat color, so it wasn't very noticeable.

……

After a while, the two finished washing up and went to Shizuru Kousaka's room together.

The blonde woman immediately noticed Akiyama Rinko's peculiar outfit, and a knowing smile instantly appeared on her lips.

You're still too young, Rinko.

Unlike her, as an intelligence expert, she needs to disguise herself to obtain intelligence all year round. If she wants to eliminate certain combat traces, that's a piece of cake for her.

Thinking this, she looked at Akiyama Rinko and asked with a smile, "Rinko, why are you dressed so warmly today?"

On the other side, Maika Kamimura also looked over curiously.

Although everyone is dressed quite conservatively, isn't Rinko-senpai's high collar a bit too exaggerated? It's summer now!

"Because Amidahara is a very dangerous place with many criminals, I thought I should dress more conservatively so that I wouldn't get into trouble."

Rinko Akiyama inwardly groaned, but could only grit her teeth and continue making excuses.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off." Kousaka Shizuru stopped teasing her and clapped her hands as she spoke.

"Yes!"×3

……

Meanwhile, Makoto Jingu arrived at one of the Kowloon Society's strongholds.

In an elegant tea room, he sipped fine tea while looking at Li Meifeng sitting opposite him.

"Little White Snake, I heard you have some news."

Hearing him address her like that, Li Meifeng rolled her eyes in annoyance and then said:

"The magician you asked me to keep an eye on, my men reported that he had previously appeared in Muscle Group's territory."

"A muscle mass?" Makoto Jingu raised an eyebrow.

How can these be connected?

“Yes.” Li Meifeng picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and continued, “Muscle Gang is a force that has recently risen rapidly in Amitabha Plain, especially their Nine Dragons Powder, which is extremely popular on the black market.”

"After taking Jiulong Powder, one can significantly enhance their physical potential in a short period of time. For those of us who live on the edge, it is a powerful tool for survival and counterattack."

"In a short period of time? This seems to be different from what I've heard about its effects."

Makoto Jingu raised his own question.

“The kind you’re talking about is sold specifically to ordinary people,” Li Meifeng explained. “This is an enhanced version, specifically for use in lawless areas like Amidahara, the Kingdom of Tokyo, and the Underground Yellow Springs Plain.”

Jingu Makoto nodded, another crucial piece being added to the puzzle in his mind regarding Balt's conspiracy.

To open the gate to the Demon Realm, Balt needs to meet three conditions.

A vast number of souls, the Philosopher's Stone, and the Demoness who served as its vessel.

The purpose of selling the Nine Dragons Powder is likely to incite more intense struggles among various forces, thereby efficiently collecting the required souls.

Moreover, in Aishu's divination at that time, the identity of that powerful demon was still unknown.

Now it seems that this might be the so-called muscle mass.

Everything is becoming clearer and clearer.

Jingu Makoto looked at Li Meifeng and instructed, "Have your people keep a close eye on the muscle mass's movements in the near future. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

He had barely finished speaking when he noticed that Li Meifeng's face had become increasingly flushed and her breathing had become somewhat rapid.

"What's wrong with you? Are you poisoned?"

“No, I…” Li Meifeng saw Jingu Cheng reach out his hand, wanting to feel her forehead, and immediately thought to herself that something was wrong.

For some reason, ever since he stepped into this tea room today, the white snake inside him has been restless and unusually excited.

She herself also felt a strange sensation.

As Jingu Makoto drew closer, that feeling grew stronger and stronger.

"Well……"

Li Meifeng let out a muffled groan.

The next moment, a pure white energy snake emerged uncontrollably from her chest.

It affectionately flicked its tongue, wrapped itself around the arm that Jingu Makoto reached out, and then climbed up, gently licking his cheek.

So enthusiastic?

Jingu Makoto was taken aback at first, but then he understood what was going on.

It's probably related to the dragon aura emanating from him.

This aura is indeed exceptionally attractive to creatures associated with dragons.

The two looked at each other.

The White Snake Demoness immediately looked away guiltily, a strange heat flowing down her lower abdomen, and she squeezed her legs even tighter.

Seeing this, Jingu Makoto tentatively stroked the white snake's smooth body.

Well, it feels cool to the touch, and the scales are smooth and delicate; it really feels quite nice.

However, while he was enjoying himself, things weren't going so well for Li Meifeng.

She and the white snake were one being; to her, Makoto Shingu's seemingly ordinary caress felt like a large hand roaming over her skin.

"You...you stop moving!" Li Meifeng gasped for breath, her voice trembling with pleading.

Jingu Makoto smiled and lowered his hand, looking at her almost broken state, and spoke leisurely.

"Little white snake, do you want to become stronger?"

"You probably haven't fully absorbed the witch's original power yet."

After all, if she had fully embraced this power, no matter how attractive it was, she wouldn't be in this state, unable to control her own power.

Li Meifeng nodded subconsciously, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.

“I can help you,” Jingu Makoto’s smile was full of temptation. “However, I have one small condition.”

"What conditions?"

Li Meifeng was somewhat anxious; this problem had indeed troubled her for a long time.

Instead of answering immediately, Jingu Makoto suddenly said, "Speaking of which, according to the contract, what should you call me again?"

Li Meifeng was taken aback, then inexplicably found it somewhat amusing. She said helplessly:

"Okay, Master, what are the conditions?"

Jingu Makoto nodded in satisfaction and stopped keeping him in suspense.

"Most of the members of your Kowloon Society fled overseas from the Nine Provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, so you should know the story of the White Snake Lady, right?"

He paused, looked at Li Meifeng's phoenix eyes filled with doubt, and revealed a meaningful smile.

"I'd like to be Xu Xian for once."

Chapter 148 Snake Tail

Xu Xian?

Having understood what Jingu Makoto meant, Li Meifeng looked at him with a strange and disgusted expression.

Having spent so many years in Amitabha Plain, she has seen all sorts of vicious and eccentric people.

But even a powerful figure like Makoto Shingu...

No, this guy doesn't seem to be a normal person.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Makoto Jingu seemed completely oblivious to her strange expression.

He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

That "you know what I mean" expression made Li Meifeng grit her teeth inwardly.

Ultimately, her thirst for power overwhelmed her pitiful sense of shame.

The witch took a deep breath and cleared her throat.

"Cough... Come on."

"That's right."

Jingu Makoto reached out and gently placed his hand on Li Meifeng's back.

The dragon's energy slowly flowed into her body.

The white energy snake let out a joyful hiss the moment it came into contact with this aura.

It proactively approached, greedily absorbing this higher-level power.

Li Meifeng gradually felt that the power she had not yet fully mastered had become incredibly docile under the guidance and manipulation of Jingu Makoto, and began to undergo a deep integration.

This process was much faster than expected.

When Jingu Makoto withdrew his hand, Li Meifeng's demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

The previous chilling, venomous aura vanished without a trace, replaced by a profound stillness.

She sat there quietly, her eyes lowered, looking even somewhat gentle and harmless.

But Makoto Jingu knew that this was not because the snake's fangs had been removed, but because it had learned how to perfectly conceal its venom, only to deliver a thunderous blow to its prey at the most fatal moment.

"How is it?" He looked at the transformed white snake with great interest.

Li Meifeng slowly raised her head, her red lips parted slightly, and her bright red tongue unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, bringing out a strange and alluring glow.

“Very…fantastic.”

She could clearly feel that her control over power had reached a whole new level.
