Chapter 287 A moth flies into the flame
But for Sakurai Kogure, since she followed that man, she had already forgotten the fear. The Snake Eight Clan has a bright future under the leadership of Amaterasu.

But she was born an evil ghost, and she could and would only stay in hell with evil ghosts. If she was not afraid of hell, how could she retreat because of her body's instinctive fear?

The expression on her face gradually calmed down. Sakurai Kogure showed a professional smile and walked towards Gu Ye with calm and graceful steps, just like the day when the Paradise Hall opened, when she slowly walked down the stairs, lifted her long skirt and bent her knees under the critical gazes of the men.

"It seems that my useless subordinates have caused trouble for you two. It doesn't matter... Paradise Hall still welcomes guests from afar."

As she said this, the charm on her face became more intense, her smile became more brilliant, and her eyes were like blooming peach blossoms. After slowly standing up, she did not forget to wink at Gu Ye.

"So... I haven't asked you two which family names you are from yet?"

"Why don't you try to show off your charm again?" Xia Mi said in a flat tone, her golden eyes sweeping across Sakurai Kogure's face, and the next moment the smooth marble floor tiles under her feet cracked without warning.

A gust of air suddenly spread out from Xia Mi's body, blowing up Sakurai Kogure's hair. This was the pressure from the girl in front of him.

"I forgot to tell you that my girlfriend has a bad temper, so put away your little tricks, they are of no use to me. Also... the family you mentioned, do you mean the Eight Clans of Sheqi?" Gu Ye showed a playful expression on his face.

It’s interesting that the fierce ghosts actually call the Eight Snake Families their main family... So over the years, the struggle between the two sides was actually an internal split?

This trip turned out to be correct. If this was the case, then Gu Ye had vaguely guessed something...something that the Eight Clans of Sheqi really wanted to hide.

Sakurai Kogure didn't care much about Gu Ye's previous words, but after he finished speaking, the expression on her face changed.

These two hybrids are not from the original family? Then where did they come from? There have been no foreign hybrids in Japan for decades, this is not good news...

"I didn't expect that you two are outsiders. What rare guests... So, what is your purpose for coming here?" Sakurai Kogure asked.

"This should be the headquarters of your group of fierce ghosts, right?" Gu Ye looked around Paradise Hall and his gaze returned to Sakurai Kogure.

"Call out your leader. I have something I want to know from him..."

"Since you know that this is the headquarters of the Demon Clan, you should also know the composition of the Demon Clan, right?" asked Sakurai Kogure.

"Of course...the fierce ghosts usually use shogi pieces as code names. The leader is the King General, followed by the Dragon King and Ryoma." Gu Ye recalled the information provided by Iwata Tsukasa and spoke.

"So your leader should be called the King General?"

"That's right. Since you know, let me introduce myself. I am Sakurai Kogure, the manager of Gokurakukan. I am also... Ryoma of the Oni Clan. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly." Sakurai Kogure smiled slightly.

She was very smart, so she was very clear about the strength of the two people in front of her. They could kill all the security personnel outside silently, which was not something even she could do easily.

Not to mention the show of force he showed before entering the room. This big guy was already terrifyingly strong physically. She could only buy as much time as possible to give the man time to evacuate.

Fortunately, the big guy in front of her did not lose his patience, which gave her more opportunities to display her skills. Maybe she could even get some useful information from him.

After all, Japan hasn't paid attention to the outside world for many years, and the arrival of these two hybrids might be a sign of something.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Ryoma of the Ghost Clan is actually a woman." Gu Ye was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that Sakurai Kogure would be one of the leading senior members of the Ghost Clan.

Of course, he had no intention of discriminating against women. In his eyes, the woman in front of him was simply pitifully weak. If the high-level members of the Ghost Clan were all of this strength, then Gu Ye really couldn't understand how the Eight Snake Families dared to use the Kassel headquarters.

"You must be wondering in your mind, how could such a young girl climb to such a high position among the ghosts? She must be someone's mistress, right?" Sakurai Kogure smiled.

"Am I right?"

Gu Ye was silent for a few seconds: "Your age is indeed not in line with your status, but I'm not so sure that pretty girls are trading their beauty when I see them."

"But this is Paradise, a place where anything can be traded." Sakurai Kogure still smiled.

"If you are the gambler who wins the most money that night, you can also ask me for anything, such as... being your woman."

Search! There was a sound of breaking air, and a trace of blood appeared on Sakurai Kogure's smiling cheek, which was scratched by the marble fragments that suddenly flew over.

Xia Mi didn't say anything, but just looked at her coldly with her golden eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person. It was obvious that the attack just now was launched by her.

Sakurai Kogure sighed, raised his hand to wipe the blood that had already overflowed from his face, and said helplessly: "It's just a joke. If this lady doesn't like it, then I won't say it."

The Eye of the Wind King? The girl's Word Spirit has already been detected, so what is the Word Spirit of the boy...

"Of course you can continue, but I can't guarantee that you can still stand here next. After all, I have already reminded you. If I didn't have questions for you to answer, you would be a dead man now." Gu Ye showed a sneer on his face.

He began to understand why this woman could become the dragon horse of the ghost group. If it were any other ordinary man, he might have been aroused by her and was ready to make a move.

But unfortunately, in Gu Ye's view, desire is just the scraps of life, and only true love is a precious sleeping pill. It's just a mere charm, not worth mentioning.

"What do you want to ask, Your Excellency?"

"How did you make the drug that leaked out of you, the thing called Molotov cocktail? What is your purpose in making this thing?"

"You already know this? But... according to the rules of Gokurakukan, you have to win if you want your wish to come true." Sakurai Kogure raised his head and looked at Gu Ye.

"Want to make a bet with me?"

"I wonder if you have made some mistake?" Gu Ye laughed dumbly and looked down at the woman in front of him.

"I never said I was discussing this with you. You only have two choices: either tell me, or be buried deep in the mountains along with this Paradise Pavilion!"

"I know that you are very powerful, but... you don't want the clue to be cut off like this, right?" Sakurai Kogure smiled and pointed to his cheek.

"The teeth here contain poison that is enough to kill a hybrid instantly. I can guarantee that as long as I don't want you to, you will not be able to get any information."

"Aren't you, the fierce ghosts, acting purely according to your own instinctive desires? How could you sacrifice your lives for such a simple rule?" Gu Ye was a little puzzled.

"Sometimes, even evil spirits have something to insist on. This place is everything to me, so I will not break any of its rules," said Sakurai Kogure.

Of course, there is more to it than just this one reason. There is another reason that Sakurai Kogure didn't mention, which is that the rules of Gokurakukan were not set by her, but by that man. She was willing to sacrifice for that man.

"Stick to your own rules. I suddenly admire you a little. But I never gamble, so I'm sorry to disappoint you." Gu Ye shook his head.

"It's okay, let's just bet on something that doesn't require props, such as... how long I can last under your attack." Sakurai Kogure spoke again.

She really wanted to bet on the outcome of the fight between the two, but she knew that she was no match for Gu Ye, so she could only modify the content of the bet slightly.

Sakurai Kogure was sure that the man in front of her would never refuse her request. His eyes were full of pride, and that was a disdain for everything. Sakurai Kogure knew that such a proud man would not allow himself to be provoked like this.

"Interesting, let me play with her, Gu Ye." Xia Mi suddenly stepped forward and looked at Sakurai Kogure. "It's a good time to stretch my muscles..."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Remember to leave him alive..." Gu Ye whispered to Xia Mi.

"I understand..." Xia Mi nodded and looked at Sakurai Kogure again.

"You should be curious about who we are, right? As long as you can withstand my attack for three minutes, I can satisfy you with one question."

"Obedience is worse than respect..." Sakurai Kogure nodded, took off his suit jacket, revealing a white shirt, and walked towards the VIP room with red glass.

A moment later, she walked out with a Japanese sword with a white sheath in her hand, her golden eyes lit up, and she bowed to Xia Mi.

"My words are hypnotic number 10, and they don't have any combat-assisting effects, so I can only rely on my weapons. Please forgive me."

“Tsk…Sequence 10?” Xia Mi frowned slightly.

"I won't make it difficult for you. I won't be using Word Spirits in this battle. I hope you can bring me some fun."

"Well, excuse me...!" The next moment, a flash of a knife appeared.

Sakurai Kogure was like a poisonous snake looking for prey in the dark. The long sword in her hand was her fangs. After locking onto Xia Mi, she attacked without hesitation.

"Too slow..." Xia Mi's voice sounded from behind Sakurai Kogure. The raised fist only slightly gathered power, and Sakurai Kogure flew out.

The strong impact caused Sakurai Kogure to subconsciously insert the long knife into the ground, causing violent sparks to fly. She managed to steady her body, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stood up again.

Looking at Xia Mi again, she jumped high, raised the long sword above her head with both hands, and slashed towards Xia Mi's head with a sharp blow.

"Haven't you realized the gap between us?" Xia Mi didn't move, raised her arm, and grabbed Sakurai Kogure's wrist from a very unexpected angle.

Immediately afterwards... Sakurai Kogure was punched in the chest again. The sound of the bone breaking was clearly audible, and she flew out again.

"This is less than one percent of my strength. If this is all you have, you'd better not insist on your ridiculous rules. This way you can suffer less."

"Go on... The reason why I can become the manager of Gokurakukan is because I don't break the rules..." Sakurai Kogure slowly got up, his body shaky.

"You should know, right? Even if you die, we can still look for other clues. You can insist on not telling... but what about the King General and the Dragon King? Will they? Is it really worth it for a ridiculous rule?" Xia Mi really didn't understand Sakurai Kogure's persistence.

To be honest, she was not the only choice. Just now, Xia Mi took action only because she kept talking nonsense to Gu Ye and wanted to teach her a lesson.

But now she was a little confused. Was this woman a fool? She didn't give up when the gap was so big? Her determined eyes were like a moth to a flame...

"You should understand this feeling of sacrificing one's life to achieve a goal." Sakurai Kogure shook his head and looked into Xia Mi's eyes.

Sakurai Kogure's tough and unyielding eyes made Xia Mi slightly stunned. She seemed to see something else in this woman's eyes.

"I see... you have already been poisoned..."

"Yes, I was poisoned by an incurable poison..."

There is only one poison in this world that has no antidote. It will change from sweet to corrosive over time. That is love...

Xia Mi knew it very well, because both she and Sakurai Kogure were prisoners of this poison, the difference was... Xia Mi had the antidote right beside her.

"There are still two minutes left. Next, I will use all my strength. Although it is only the full strength in human state, but... I hope you can bear it..." Xia Mi closed his eyes and made a punching gesture.

If we talk about the most exquisite boxer in this world, Jörmungandr claims to be the first and no one dares to claim to be the second. As for the third... there is definitely a huge gap. After all, no one can completely master stress, which is an elusive thing in mechanics. This is the realm of gods.

Although Xia Mi's current power would be greatly reduced if she used her human body, it was still not something that an ordinary hybrid could resist.

"I only throw one punch, you take it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Mi opened her eyes, and everything in front of her became traceable. She could see clearly the points where countless forces came from, including the points on Sakurai Kogure's body.

Sakurai Kogure took a deep breath, and the dragon blood in his body began to stir. Dragon scales vaguely appeared on his body, and his eyes became a little crazy, but he still did not choose to escape, but rushed towards Xia Mi.

Xia Mi didn't do anything fancy and threw a punch straight at Sakurai Kogure. Sakurai Kogure only had time to raise the long sword in his hand to block in front of him. The long sword collapsed into pieces the moment it touched Xia Mi's fist.

She moved her body slightly, and at the moment when the power was transmitted along the long sword, the bones in her body made a series of noises. Sakurai Kogure knew that they were all broken. She had no way to stop it, and her body softened and she fell to the ground.

"I didn't expect that the Word Spirit with serial number 10 has such a high bloodline level... You should be thankful that the defense brought by the high bloodline saved your life." Xia Mi turned her head and spoke to Sakurai Kogure who was lying on the ground.

"You lose...How to make a Molotov cocktail?" Gu Ye came to Sakurai Kogure and looked down at the woman.

"I don't know. Only General Wang knows its formula, and General Wang hasn't been here for a long time." Sakurai Kogure said with difficulty.

"So what about the Dragon King? He should have been here, right? Where is he now? Tell me."

Sakurai Kogure didn't answer, but just closed his eyes and didn't move. He should have evacuated, right? Then his mission was completed...

"You can't get the answer from her. Forget it, Gu Ye... give her a quick death and let's look for clues somewhere else." Xia Mi sighed. It would be harder to pry something out of the mouth of a woman who had fallen in love than to kill her.

Gu Ye raised his hand, and a platinum flame rose from his palm, approaching Sakurai Kogure.

"Tired, tired, the hairpin is a witness, the emperor gave it to me in the past; don't remember the love, just repay him, the favor I received at that time; return the hairpin and entrust your heart to Linqiong, three thousand weak waters flow east, the clouds are red again; the moonlight has long melted, the way to go is heavy; the way to come is lost, looking back is nothing."

On the second floor of the Paradise Pavilion, a figure was walking, chanting, and singing, his voice reminiscent of mottled ancient paintings. He was wearing a blood-red wide-sleeved kimono, embroidered with large clusters of red spider lilies, a plant of the Amaryllis family also known as Lycoris radiata. The flowers were as red as fresh blood, contrasting with the man's fair skin.

Sakurai Kogure closed his eyes and showed an expression of surprise and joy on his face, but the next moment it turned into deep uneasiness.

"Go!" Even though his bones were broken, Sakurai Kogure shouted with all his might, like a cuckoo crying blood.

Gu Ye raised his head and looked at the strange man in front of him, and the man spoke at the right time.

"If you want to know something, you can ask me directly. There is no need to embarrass my men."

"Oh? It seems that you are the Dragon King..." Gu Ye put away the flame.

"That's right, I am the Dragon King of the fierce ghosts. You can also call me Fengjian Liuli." The strange man nodded.

"I have probably guessed your purpose. I can tell you everything you want to know."
