Looking at Xiao Yefeng, Mo Fei shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: Do as you wish! The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beauty. With so many romantic debts, you will eventually have to make a choice. Wanting to please everyone is impossible; you cannot have both fish and bear's paw!
However, he also admired Xiao Yefeng. After all, Liu Yiyi and Consort Mi, the embodiment of fish and bear's paw, had already been won over by him!
Meanwhile, time was passing second by second. How were Li Ji and Abe Nobuyuki progressing?
In a room adorned with various portraits of men and women from Wa Country, Li Ji, having already shed her outer garments, wielded a whip and relentlessly struck Abe Nobuyuki. Yet every time the whip hit him, Abe Nobuyuki would press a button in his hand, causing Li Ji to convulse as if electrified.
It was hard to imagine the scene at that moment; however, Abe Nobuyuki was not the powerless Abe Royu. With just this playful whip, Li Ji could not harm him at all. An eerie energy surrounded Abe Nobuyuki, emanating from his Shikigami, making Li Ji hesitant to approach!
As time ticked away, Li Ji was putting in effort while Abe Nobuyuki seemed uninterested in her body. He appeared to revel only in this mutual tormenting sensation, leaving Li Ji no choice but to take action!
With a swift motion, she lashed out with the whip glowing pink, dispersing Abe Nobuyuki's eerie energy. The whip left a deep crimson mark on his back. The sudden strike caught Abe Nobuyuki off guard; it shattered his belt. In Wa Country's attire, the outfit relied on the belt for support—without it, he was left with merely two pieces of fabric. As a result, Abe Nobuyuki's clothing completely fell away.
Now exposed, Abe Nobuyuki seemed stimulated and stirred by thoughts of Consort Mi. However, this wasn't truly his desire; rather, it was the allure of the Shikigami behind Li Ji—a figure draped in tattered cloths and holding a cherry blossom paper umbrella.
In terms of strength, Li Ji was slightly inferior to Abe Nobuyuki at that moment. Yet when it came to manipulating desire, she had him outmatched by several streets. Her Shikigami was none other than Sakura Woman—the strongest support type in Demon Tower!
The drifting cherry blossoms came from the spinning paper fan. Sakura Woman herself was barely covered by a few sheer fabrics as she slipped into Li Ji's body. At that moment, Li Ji's tight-fitting attire transformed into countless layers of light gauze that brushed against Abe Nobuyuki's cheek like gentle hands, stirring his soul.
Because Li Ji and Sakura Woman were one entity at that moment, the Xuan Corpse Shikigami within Abe Nobuyuki succumbed to their charm and lost its will to resist for a brief period. Step by step, Li Ji and Abe Nobuyuki drew closer together until her hand almost reached his chest. At that moment, her gaze sharpened as she prepared to poke towards his heart.
Outside Demon Tower, several minutes had already passed since their agreed-upon time. Xiao Yefeng and the others could no longer wait; after all, the next wave of patrollers would soon arrive. Time was running out.
"What should we do?" Mo Fei asked.
"We can't wait any longer! We need to sneak in. Li Ji must have left some traces behind. Once we enter, everyone should focus on their tasks and create distractions throughout the Demon Tower!" Xiao Yefeng commanded. The group quickly entered the Demon Tower, each employing their own methods. All of them had achieved over forty percent in Gene Fusion, and under Beastification, they had developed instinctive reactions. With agility like tigers and eagles, they each showcased their unique skills as they rushed toward the key points marked on the map provided by Li Ji.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was supposed to infiltrate the location of the Demon Tower Master or the Emperor. However, he was worried about Li Ji. Since she hadn't arrived by the agreed time, it meant she must have encountered trouble. After eliminating Abe Royu and Abe Nobuyuki, it was likely something had gone wrong in Xinyu. After contemplating for a moment, Xiao Yefeng turned back and headed toward Abe Nobuyuki's room.
What kind of problem had arisen in Abe Nobuyuki's room? Hadn't Li Ji just dealt with the Sakura Woman's enchantment over Abe Nobuyuki?
The answer was clear! If she had succeeded, then according to the timeline, even if she had taken her time, Li Ji should have already reached their rendezvous point. At that moment in Abe Nobuyuki's room, Li Ji was bound in a large cross shape by four iron chains originating from each corner of the room. The chains on her arms suspended her in the center of the room while those on her legs forcibly spread them apart, stretching her limbs almost into two parallel lines!
Moreover, Li Ji's Shikigami, Sakura Woman, was not faring much better; she was bound by a black-red line above Li Ji's head. Meanwhile, Abe Nobuyuki stood naked before Li Ji, who was supposed to be lured into a surprise attack.
With a barbed iron whip striking down upon her, there was hardly any unblemished skin left on Li Ji's body; blood covered her delicate form.
"Did you really think your plan would succeed? My father's maid would willingly come to my room for my pleasure? I, Abe Nobuyuki, am not as foolish as my brother! If you want to please me, fine! Today I'll show you what my woman must endure to bring me joy!" Abe Nobuyuki exclaimed as he thrust the barbed whip directly into Li Ji's tender abdomen.
Li Ji's cries of pain were heart-wrenching. She realized she had failed; just moments ago, when she had nearly touched Abe Nobuyuki with her fingertips, he had revealed a cruel smile. The Xuan Corpse Shikigami erupted forth and instantly dispelled Sakura Woman. In that moment, Li Ji found herself captured by Abe Nobuyuki. Her strength came from controlling male desire; however, she had encountered Abe Nobuyuki, who showed little interest in women.
And so this was the outcome! At this moment, Li Ji could only describe her situation as utterly tragic. Yet she did not mourn for her own state but rather felt sorrow for being unable to fulfill Xiao Yefeng's instructions! Nevertheless, she had killed Abe Royu and sealed his Shikigami; that counted as completing her mission. She had also left enough markers behind. At this moment, clarity filled Li Ji's mind.
She knew that after this incident, she could no longer remain in the Demon Tower and that following Xiao Yefeng back to Huaxia would mean he would not keep her by his side. Living for him and dying for him! At this moment, Li Ji could see her fate clearly; thus she had resolved to face death.
"Why did you try to deceive me? Even going so far as to use the Kiyuha Family's abilities? Is someone forcing you to do this?" At this point, Abe Nobuyuki suddenly paused and pondered aloud: "You are the mole within the Demon Tower all these years, aren't you? No! My father's plan for tonight!" With that, Abe Nobuyuki dropped the bloodied whip and turned to pick up his clothes before heading out the door.
He had already guessed what was going to happen tonight. His father planned to hand over the ancestral Rubbing to Perfect World, thereby gaining the favor of the God of Sorcery. Li Ji must have been ordered by someone to deceive him, making it impossible for him to use the Ghost King Technique in conjunction with the powers of the Four Ghosts when the attack on his father occurred. Therefore, there must be enemies within the Demon Tower now!
Abe Nobuyuki was undoubtedly the wisest of this generation, even stronger than Abe Luoyu. Just from Li Ji, he had deduced so much. Given time, he would surely surpass Abe Rain and become the new Demon Tower Master. However, he was wrong to make an enemy of Xiao Yefeng!
Just as he turned around, a gleaming sword pierced his heart. The Xuan Corpse Shikigami hadn’t even reacted before the sword had already penetrated his Heart, taking Abe Nobuyuki's life. The Xuan Corpse was not the same Shikigami that Abe Luoyu had, which had become disabled. Upon realizing that its master was dead, it transformed into a Specter and attempted to flee toward the main building, but Xiao Yefeng would not allow a Specter to escape.
With a flick of his hand, the Bagua Mirror enveloped it. Naturally, the Xuan Corpse Shikigami raged and resisted, but under the Apricot Yellow Flag, it could only be sealed along with Abe Nobuyuki's ghost within the flag! Xiao Yefeng had just arrived and realized that Li Ji was captured and tortured; he knew that something had gone awry with their plan. Thus, he chose to quietly enter the room. Just as Xiao Yefeng was about to strike, Abe Nobuyuki unexpectedly turned around!
The Yin-Yang Sword did not respond to Xiao Yefeng's control; its sharp blade pierced through his Heart due to Abe Nobuyuki's sudden movement. The Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet possessed an invisibility ability that earthly technology could not detect. With the ability granted by the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet, Xiao Yefeng successfully killed Abe Nobuyuki and revived the Xuan Corpse Shikigami!
At this moment, after breaking the chains and rescuing Li Ji, Xiao Yefeng took out a pill from his Jade Ring. This was a healing elixir specially made in Huaxia. Although it lacked the powerful capabilities of ancient Bone Resurrection elixirs, it worked well for external wounds. At this point, aside from looking a bit disheveled, Li Ji's external injuries had mostly healed!
The greatest disparity in life is between life and death. Li Ji had prepared herself for self-destruction when Xiao Yefeng swooped in like a savior and brought her back to life once more. Overwhelmed by such a drastic change in fate, Li Ji began to cry excitedly and even embraced Xiao Yefeng while sobbing uncontrollably.
Although Xiao Yefeng acknowledged that he held her soft and fragrant form in his arms and felt somewhat distracted, he remained resolute in his principles regarding right and wrong. After gently patting Li Ji's bare back, he took out a set of his own clothes from the Jade Ring and handed them to her. "Put on your clothes and leave the Demon Tower first!" he instructed.
With that, Xiao Yefeng turned and vanished from Li Ji's sight—thanks to the ability of the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet. He needed to head to Abe Rain's room immediately; no matter what happened, he had to either steal or return to Rubbing. This was the mission for both him and Mo Fei! Having taken nearly two minutes detouring to rescue Li Ji, Xiao Yefeng could not afford any further delays.
Holding onto the clothes infused with Xiao Yefeng's scent, Li Ji felt immense happiness as she wiped away the blood on her body. She put on Xiao Yefeng's clothes; at this moment, returning to her own room was no longer an option. The only choice left was to slip out of the Demon Tower through a back door. She understood that from this moment on, there would be no safe place within the Demon Tower because the impending battle was beyond what she—having just entered this initial stage as an Onmyoji—could intervene in!
