Du Yu gave Shiranui Asuka a somewhat disdainful look and said, "A-Xiang, we're discussing serious business here. Don't make trouble."

"You're saying... it can solve every problem we're facing?" Du Yu faltered. "Including Lady Houtu's problem?"
"That's right." Shiranui Asuka nodded. "If this really works, Lady Houtu's problem
