Let Me Teach You
Back when she was still in the Hero Faction, she often teamed up with Siegfried for missions, so she had a deep impression of him, who was known as the "Demon Emperor."
Siegfried's signature weapons are various demonic swords, among which the Demon Emperor Sword Gram is used most frequently.
There are many cursed swords in the world, but there is only one Gram.
Based on her understanding of Siegfried's strength, it was impossible for him to come to the Himejima Family alone to seek revenge, especially since Siegfried's strength couldn't possibly be that great.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have been instantly killed by Ren in the first place.
'Could it really be Ren?'
Jeanne Arc was deeply shaken.
Although there was absolutely no way to connect the bespectacled mystery man with Ren, based on the information she already knew, the one currently ravaging the Himejima Family was most likely Ren in disguise!
However, she had absolutely no idea what was going on.
Why did Ren launch a surprise attack on the Himejima Family? And why did he also injure Suzaku Himejima?
Didn't Ren have a thing for tall, voluptuous beauties like Vermilion Bird?
Furthermore, Suzaku Himejima was gentle and treated Ren with great courtesy, and her captivating eyes often cast complex and ambiguous glances at Ren.
The more Jeanne Arc thought about it, the more her head throbbed with pain.
It hurts so much, I feel like my brain is growing out of it.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore!"
Jeanne quickly stopped her wild thoughts. If Ren did this, he must have his reasons!
With her mind cleared, Jeanne of Arc's backache and leg pain disappeared, and she joined Minagawa Natsume and the others in launching an attack on the mysterious bespectacled man.
Compared to the others who were actually knocked away, Joan of Jeanne's acting was quite clumsy. Fortunately, the scene was in chaos, and apart from Ren, no one noticed Jeanne's poor performance.
Less than a minute had passed.
All of the more than one hundred people besieged by the Himejima Family were wounded.
Everyone stared at the figure with expressions of horror.
One person alone completely overwhelmed the entire Himejima Family!
Despite the burning pain all over their bodies, no one cared anymore; they were now completely absorbed in the astonishing reality of one man taking on the entire clan.
"Who are you?! Why are you attacking the Himejima Family?!"
Suzaku Himejima stood up and shouted.
"I am Li Feiyu, and I have never changed my name. Your sect leader was killed by me. If you want revenge, come find me."
After saying that, Ren opened the system map, selected the nearest Teleport Anchor, and disappeared.
Soon after, members of the Himejima Family clan who were stationed on the outskirts of the city arrived one after another. They were shocked and speechless upon seeing the chaotic scene.
Some of the elders who arrived late had their chests heaving; they were extremely angry and astonished by the situation.
"Is Heaven determined to destroy the Himejima Family?"
"..."
Suzaku Himejima stood there in a daze for a long time.
She didn't look over until Minagawa Natsume and Jeanne came to her side.
She recalled what Ren had told her, and after calming down, she began to issue orders in her capacity as the successor to the sect leader.
Because Ren deliberately held back, the Himejima Family members only suffered superficial injuries; although painful, they were not unable to move.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and several charred corpses were found in the ruins. They had some identifying items on their bodies, so the news of Himejima Suou and the elders' deaths spread quickly.
The Five Great Houses were shaken, but there was no follow-up.
After all, the assassin's strength is undeniable.
However, most people pointed the finger at the Hero Faction. After learning of Himejima Suou's death, the leaders of the remaining four major clans were in a state of panic, and the number of guards assigned to their leaders was increased several times over.
Even so, my neck still feels cool.
After all, the overall strength of the Five Great Houses is roughly the same. If the assassin can kill Himejima Suou, he can certainly take action against the others.
As Ren predicted, the assassination of Himejima Suou had far-reaching consequences, and its effects continue to unfold.
Without any opposition, Suzaku Himejima was quickly thrust into the position of sect leader. Some people did this because they recognized her identity, while others simply wanted to find a "scapegoat" to draw attention away from her.
Chapter 235 I'll Teach You
Chapter 235
Regardless of whether some people have ulterior motives, Ren, the mastermind behind it all, is currently enjoying a hot spring in the Himejima Family's private area.
The only downside was that there wasn't a beautiful young woman with a deep cleavage to massage and rub his back, which took away a lot of the fun.
"I wonder where Jeanne went. Would it be alright to call her here?"
Just as Ren was considering whether or not to take Jeanne of Arc, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Miss Jeanne is with Xia Mei and the others, so she won't be here."
In fact, Ren had already sensed Vermilion Bird's presence, so he wasn't surprised by the voice behind him.
He turned around and looked back casually, then...
At first glance, Ren's eyes were glued to him.
Although the person appearing behind her was indeed an acquaintance, Suzaku Himejima, compared to her usual capable and meticulous image, she was now an unbelievably beautiful woman.
Bare feet trod on the rough stone slabs, the insteps white, the toes and the spaces between them a captivating pink.
The ten tiny toes were painted with bright red nail polish.
Like little Alpenliebe lollipops bursting with milky flavor.
Her shapely legs were long and slender, so white they were dazzling.
Above that was a thin white bath towel, but it was very form-fitting, the smooth material tightly wrapping around her breathtaking curves.
Her tall, voluptuous breasts made one involuntarily swallow.
Under the lights of the hot spring room, her fair and beautiful skin seemed to be emitting a faint steam.
Her jet-black hair, now free of hairpins, cascaded freely down her back, some strands clinging tightly to her delicate skin due to the dampness.
At first glance, Suzaku Himejima looks like a large, white steamed bun, fresh out of the steamer, emitting an enticing aroma that makes one want to grab it and take a big bite.
Suzaku Himejima noticed the way Ren was looking at her, and a blush instantly spread across her delicate cheeks.
However, she had already prepared herself mentally before coming.
Ren knew that staring directly at a respectable woman was impolite, but looking at a prepared guest with a sidelong glance would be even more ill-mannered. Therefore, he decided to keep his eyes fixed on everything about Suzaku Himejima without blinking.
"Speaking of which, the Himejima Family should be very busy right now. As the newly appointed clan head, shouldn't you have a lot of things to deal with?"
"The important matters have all been taken care of. The funerals of the former sect leader and elders will be held on an auspicious day a week from now. As for the rest... the most important thing right now is to recuperate and rebuild. We can consider things later."
Suzaku Himejima slowly walked up to Ren.
A pair of captivating phoenix eyes gazed seductively at Ren, and then, right in front of him, she untied her silk bath towel.
A body with perfectly proportioned features and a flawless figure lay out in the center of Ren's vision.
Even Ren, who had seen his share of storms, couldn't help but squint.
Suzaku Himejima sensed the other's heavy breathing and looked at him with a hint of worry. "Only now that I've become the head of the Himejima Family have I truly realized how heavy the burden on my shoulders is."
"You regret it?"
I asked Ren asked.
"No, the Himejima Family's rule that forces people to separate from their loved ones when something happens is too unreasonable. I was just expressing my feelings, so Mr. Ren, please rest assured that I will not regret my choice, nor will I blame you for this."
"Moreover, I must thank you for your efforts. If it weren't for your actions that night, I would probably already be guilty of murdering the sect leader and elders."
Suzaku Himejima gave a faint smile, then naturally stepped into the hot spring pool and sat down opposite Ren.
The moderately warm spring water reached above his shoulders, submerging the cleavage that Ren couldn't look away from.
"Soaking in hot springs can wash away fatigue. I used to come here whenever I felt tired."
"Besides, I still have some things I haven't accomplished."
At this point, a meaningful glint appeared in Suzaku Himejima's beautiful eyes as she looked at Ren.
"Mr. Ren, let me wash your back."
"Good."
Ren then got up and sat in the designated washing area, while Suzaku Himejima knelt behind him, rubbing shower gel on his back with both hands.
Slender fingers slid up and down his back, bringing a look of enjoyment to Ren's face.
Suzaku Himejima then spoke again, seemingly to himself.
"I lost my lovely cousin and my gentle aunt because of the family system."
"Even now, I still regret not being able to save them both. If I had greater power and talent, Akeno and my aunt wouldn't have ended up like that."
"This is my original intention for becoming the sect leader. After all, if similar things continue to happen, it will only accumulate resentment and pain, eventually leading to tragedy. And tragedy will bring new tragedy, forming a vicious cycle. The previous sect leader thought it didn't matter, that all he had to do was use brute force to settle things and cover up those shameful things."
"However, this idea was very far-fetched for me in the past, but thanks to your help, I had the opportunity to change the family's system, so... I'm truly grateful to you."
Just as Ren was about to say, "You're going to use this to test the officers," Suzaku Himejima hugged him from behind.
Her tone of voice had changed from calm to charming and alluring.
"Mr. Ren, you appeared and saved me when I was most lost, so I... I am really grateful now. You are a good person."
"Oh, I'm sorry... I don't know what to do right now. You must think I'm a strange woman, right? You've helped me so much, and I don't even know how to repay you."
However, Ren was feeling incredibly frustrated at the moment, and had no time to guess what Suzaku Himejima was thinking.
He grasped Suzaku Himejima's fair and soft wrist. "It's alright, I'll teach you."
Then, Ren slowly pulled away from Suzaku Himejima's arms that were wrapped around him, and then looked directly into the eyes of the girl with tears in her eyes.
Ren didn't say much, only gestured with his eyes, and then gently touched her beautiful red lips with his hand.
The latter understood immediately, her cheeks flushing even more.
But Suzaku Himejima slowly lowered his body.
Ren kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, gazing only at the stunningly beautiful woman before him.
Her fair, plump buttocks swayed gently, each movement seemingly capable of stealing one's soul.
Not long after.
Suzaku Himejima's neck skin rolled slightly up and down, as if she were swallowing something.
"Is this... all right?"
Her cheeks flushed, but she noticed Ren's lingering, unsatisfied expression.
Chapter 236 Fainted Again
Chapter 236
Putting everything else aside, Ren had a really comfortable night last night.
Although the women he encounters these days are all top-tier, with breasts bigger than their heads and buttocks wider than their shoulders, Suzaku Himejima is quite different from the other women.
Or rather, Akeno Himejima.
However, Akeno still retains some childishness and reserve, while Suzaku Himejima, who has been through many years in the Himejima Family's corrupt environment, can be said to be top-notch in terms of personality.
Moreover, Suzaku Himejima has always presented herself as a top-tier, aloof, and mature woman to others.
Everything was done in a professional and meticulous manner.
This is why, although Suzaku Himejima is admired by many of her clansmen, she has never been pursued by anyone else.
