Xiao Yun did not expect that when he laid Inoue Kyoko down on the ground, her lifeless body would tremble slightly, and her face would struggle to turn toward the direction of Fukuda Hideo's grave.
Two streams of crystal-clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Sweat, this woman is already dead, yet she still cares for her beloved!
Sigh, isn't he better than Fukuda Hideo?
What kind of vision does this woman have!
Xiao Yun clicked his tongue, appearing as if he were in deep despair.
But the beauty had already passed away; there was no chance to reason with her now.
Forget it, everyone has their own preferences. She only holds Fukuda Hideo in her heart; why should he feel jealous over a dead person?
Alright, you may not cherish your beloved, but I have the heart to fulfill your wishes, so let’s bury you two lovers together.
Thinking of Fukuda Hideo lying in the coffin, Xiao Yun shook his head and sighed. Inoue Kyoko, you poured a cup of Thousand Day Drunk and brought down your beloved. You had the life to put him in a coffin but not the life to save him. Sigh, what is this? Regret for today and wishing you hadn’t fought with me back then.
Xiao Yun picked up Inoue Kyoko from the ground and walked to the edge of Fukuda Hideo's grave. After thinking for a moment, he placed her down and went to pick up her clothes to dress her.
Looking at Inoue Kyoko lying on the ground, though her complexion was pale and frightening, it could not hide her beauty in life. For a moment, a deep sense of regret suddenly flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes.
Xiao Yun had never personally killed a woman. Even when Bai Man, a good sister of Soft Red Silk, died by his hands back in Huaxia, it was Lu Jiutang who did it. He had scolded him fiercely for that.
In his mind, no matter how a woman may be, as a man, one should never easily take her life.
At first, when Xiao Yun discovered that Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo were targeting him, he thought he had to eliminate them to successfully find the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror. However, when he faced Inoue Kaori, his heart softened. Wasn't it too cruel to kill such a stunning beauty?
Because of this, Xiao Yun took the opportunity to sneak attack Inoue Kyoko, striking her with a wind ball containing Heavenly Spirit Essence into her femur. He intended to wait until the wind ball transformed into a blade that would pierce her bones, making her kneel before him in submission, at which point he would spare her life.
However, everything went against his wishes...
Now, the life of a vibrant woman had been extinguished by his hands, and Xiao Yun felt an overwhelming sadness.
"Miss Inoue Kyoko, you cannot blame me for your death; if you must blame someone, blame your master..." Xiao Yun truly did not understand who Inoue Kyoko's master was or what enmity existed between them that led him to send his disciple to kill him.
Looking at Fukuda Hideo lying in the coffin, Xiao Yun frowned. With his abilities, he only needed a dose of Heavenly Spirit Essence to force out the Thousand Day Drunk from within him and awaken him from his stupor.
However, the malice surrounding Fukuda Hideo was too heavy. If he saved him, it would be akin to a farmer saving a snake. Moreover, Fukuda Hideo was an agent of the island nation.
"Forget it, Fukuda Hideo, fate has deemed you and Takahashi Yukiko incompatible. Besides, you swore in the Sakura Hotel that you liked Inoue Kyoko, so I will grant you both the chance to be lovers in the afterlife!" As Xiao Yun murmured these words, he moved Inoue Kyoko's body into the coffin to lie beside Fukuda Hideo.
With a loud thud, Xiao Yun closed the coffin lid.
Next to him lay an iron shovel, likely left behind by Inoue Kyoko's two friends.
Grabbing the shovel, Xiao Yun quickly piled up a mound for the grave.
After handling everything, dawn broke. Master Xiao glanced at the new grave before him, recalling Inoue Kyoko's breathtaking beauty and exquisite figure. He couldn't help but sigh; what a pity for a beauty from the island nation!
Xiao Yun used his hand to channel a dose of Heavenly Spirit Essence, wiping away all traces of blood on his clothes.
As he tidied his disheveled hair and prepared to turn away, he seemed to remember something. He struck down a large tree with one palm and then swiftly carved out a wooden plank using his hand as an axe.
He inserted a wooden board at the graves of Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo, raised a finger, and soon carved a line of words on the board:
Grave of Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo.
After thinking for a moment, he added a few more words below—
Erected by: Xiao Yun!
……
At Daoxiang Zhenyuan's home.
It was hard to tell how much alcohol Daoxiang Zhenyuan and his wife could handle, but there were already three empty one-kilogram liquor bottles beside the table.
And they were all strong spirits.
“Father, it’s already bright outside. Why hasn’t my Yun… Brother Yun come back yet?” Inaka Hiraiko asked, her eyes hazy from drunkenness as she stomped her feet.
Yamaguchi Kumiko also said anxiously, “Yes, dear husband, you said your sworn brother went out at night to do something important. What exactly is he up to? Is he in any danger?”
“Sigh—”
After hearing his daughter and wife’s words, Daoxiang Zhenyuan shook his head and sighed, “You women really are bothersome. Do you think I’m not anxious? Honestly, I feel like an ant on a hot pan right now. Alright, just wait a little longer; I believe my brother will be back soon!”
Upon hearing Daoxiang Zhenyuan's words, the two women seemed to realize something and almost simultaneously asked, “You’re not hiding anything from us, are you?”
“You women, why would you say such things? What could I possibly have to hide from you?” Daoxiang Zhenyuan glared at the two of them.
Yamaguchi Kumiko said, "Husband, tell me, what is your sworn brother doing out at this hour? You must know."
"Uh, well... I really don't know!" He recalled what Xiao Yunlin had instructed him before leaving and certainly did not dare to reveal the true reason for his departure to the mother and daughter.
It was a joke; the two people Xiao Yun was dealing with were sent by the Military Agent. As the Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture and a sworn brother to Xiao Yun, if this got out, even though he had a good relationship with the current Prime Minister, he would likely find himself in trouble.
Of course, even if he were to disclose the matter, it wouldn't be an issue; his wife and daughter would definitely not spread this information.
The problem was that if his daughter learned about Xiao Yun's true identity, he feared she would insist on following him wherever he went. He couldn't bear to have his precious daughter so far away from him.
Moreover, Xiao Yun came to the Island Nation specifically to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror. If his daughter got involved with him, she would become a burden and could endanger Xiao Yun's mission.
Weighing the situation, Daoxiang Zhenyuan felt that only after Xiao Yun left his home could he tell his daughter about his true identity.
Yamaguchi Kumiko was certainly dissatisfied with her husband's response. From his flickering eyes, she could tell that he was hiding something from her and their daughter.
However, Yamaguchi Kumiko also understood her husband's character; he wouldn't conceal anything from his family unless it was something significant. So what exactly was that Huaxia person up to?
"I'll go check if Lady Yun is awake," she said as she noticed the sky had brightened but Xiao Yun had not yet returned. Inaka Hiraiko hurriedly walked towards Long Yan's bedroom.
"Not good! Not good!"
Before long, Inaka Hiraiko rushed out with a pale face, shouting in alarm, "Father! Mother! Lady Yun is missing..."
