Japan.
Koizumi Junichirō held a young, playful woman in his arms. She was feeding him grapes, only two left.
(Proper grapes.)
Ring, ring...
The phone rang. Koizumi Junichirō released the woman in his arms, picked up the phone on the table, and answered:
"Asō Ichiro, I want to inform you that I have arranged for someone to go to Huaxia. They should be seen tomorrow."
"That's good. Then I'll prepare to support your family's bid for prime minister," Asō Ichiro said in a deep voice.
"Pleasant cooperation."
Koizumi Junichirō happily hung up the phone.
He was very happy today. With the Dark Spirit from Thailand handling it, capturing a Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine practitioner was as easy as catching a chick. He wasn't worried at all about not succeeding.
Therefore, he felt it was necessary to celebrate this matter in advance.
Bang, bang, bang...
At this moment, the outer door was knocked upon.
"Come in," Koizumi Junichirō called out.
The sliding door was pushed open, and an elegant man walked in first, followed by two men who looked somewhat sleazy.
Koizumi Junichirō quickly pushed the woman in his arms away and exclaimed, "Who are you?"
As he finished speaking, he reached under the table, preparing to grab a handgun.
"No! No! No! I advise you not to do anything foolish. I mean no harm," Pope Paul shook his head repeatedly.
But how could Koizumi Junichirō let it go? These three clearly meant trouble.
Being able to break through heavy security and find him in his own home meant they were definitely enemies.
Only when he held the pistol in his hand did Koizumi Junichirō feel secure.
"Get out, now!" Koizumi Junichirō shouted angrily, pointing the gun at the three. With his other hand, he quickly dialed a number.
The number was dialed, but no one answered. Koizumi Junichirō realized something was wrong.
The three ignored Koizumi Junichirō and continued to walk forward.
Midway, Paul stopped and looked at the Dark Spirit, saying, "He has a gun, I'm scared. You go first. You should be extra furious when enemies meet."
Dark Spirit: .....
"Can you be any more shameless?"
Frightened of a handgun.
He was utterly speechless at Pope Paul's shameless behavior.
He had no demeanor of a master.
Dark Spirit gave Pope Paul a side glance and continued to walk forward.
"Baka..." Koizumi Junichirō yelled, then pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang....
A three-round burst, the bullets flew towards the Dark Spirit walking in front.
The Dark Spirit raised his hand, and the three bullets froze in mid-air as if under a paralysis spell. Then, with a flick of his hand, the bullets fell to the ground, losing all momentum.
Koizumi Junichirō's eyes bulged out as he watched, and he retreated in terror.
"Your spirit control is not bad," Pope Paul commented appreciatively on the Dark Spirit's actions.
Dark Spirit ignored Pope Paul and continued to walk towards Koizumi Junichirō.
"You... Who exactly are you?" Koizumi Junichirō asked in horror.
"Oh my god! I forgot to introduce ourselves. Let me grandly introduce you. This is Dark Spirit, you should know him because he is the Thai fellow you contacted."
Pope Paul rushed to introduce Dark Spirit.
"Dark Spirit?"
Koizumi Junichirō almost spat out upon hearing this.
"Didn't this guy go to Huaxia to help me abduct someone?"
"How did he end up here?"
"Was he turned?"
"As expected, no backbone. He's a traitor, isn't he?"
Koizumi Junichirō thought of several possibilities, then finally said, "You... you've been turned? How much did they pay you? I'll double it."
"Heh... Today, I will make you wish you were dead. I will leave none of your Koizumi family alive," Dark Spirit said, grinning widely.
"You almost got me killed. If I don't wipe out your entire family, I won't rest."
As Dark Spirit laughed sinisterly and exuded dark energy, Koizumi Junichirō fainted from fear.
"You two go out. It's going to be a bit brutal. I'm going to strip his soul and make him suffer for eternity," Dark Spirit said, turning to Pope Paul and King Hughes.
"Alright. Anyone who disrespects the master deserves the harshest punishment in this world. Hurry up, we still need to go to the Asō family. Today, we will turn Japan upside down."
King Hughes finished speaking and turned to leave.
Pope Paul shook his head and said, "You are all bad people."
After the two left, Dark Spirit immediately killed the woman curled up nearby and began to strip Koizumi Junichirō's soul.
The torment had just begun...
...........
"Lin'er, let's go shopping tomorrow. We're going to Kunlun Mountain the day after tomorrow. We need to get some cotton clothes, or we won't be able to stand it," National Young King suggested to Xia Lin.
Upon hearing they were going to Kunlun Mountain, National Young King specifically checked the temperature on his phone: 8 degrees Celsius.
This was only what he could find. The places Xia Shao took them would certainly be more mysterious, likely deep within Kunlun Mountain. That would surely be several degrees below zero!
If he didn't prepare cotton clothes, it wouldn't do.
"Okay, let's go shopping tomorrow," Xia Lin agreed.
A group of people chattered and discussed, excited about the sudden trip to Kunlun Mountain.
Especially Liu Jingru. The previous day, when she learned that Xia Feng was a cultivator, her heart had thumped wildly.
If Xia Lin hadn't told her herself, she would never have believed it.
After all, it was beyond human comprehension.
Now she finally understood why Xia Feng was accompanied by a group of influential figures. That was the original reason.
"Should we get some thick quilts to take along? Otherwise, how will we sleep at night?" Jiang Xin chimed in.
"No need, I think. If we need these things, my brother would definitely have instructed us," Xia Lin thought for a moment and said.
"Just wear warmer clothes. How can so many people carry quilts? If the environment is harsh, Young Master Xia will naturally be prepared. I think you are worrying about nothing," Ma Yuqin said with a smile at Jiang Xin.
"You guys don't seem to be afraid of the cold. When you get to Kunlun Mountain, you'll still be wearing black stockings," Qin Dou remarked.
"Are women creatures afraid of the cold?"
"Absolutely not. Even at minus a few degrees, they'll still be in black stockings and short skirts."
"Nonsense, why don't you wear them then?" Qin Wen scolded.
"Haha... Qin Dou, if you wear black stockings, I'll carry you up the mountain," National Young King burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He still had the image of Qin Dou wearing black stockings in his mind, the scene vividly appearing.
"Are you serious about what you just said?" Qin Dou turned to National Young King and asked earnestly.
"If you dare to wear them, I dare to carry you," National Young King affirmed.
"If you dare to carry me, I dare to wear them," Qin Dou also said seriously.
"Alright, Xiao Wen, lend your brother a pair. I'll personally carry him up the mountain," National Young King gritted his teeth and agreed.
Qin Wen's face flushed slightly, and she glared at Qin Dou and National Young King, shouting:
"Get lost! I don't have any."
