Suzuki Kai’s pupils constricted as a hint of unusual color flashed through his eyes.
Suddenly, a thick fragrance drifted through the air of the night, accompanied by countless falling petals, a figure dressed in a white palace garment appeared here.
"Eh, what kind of outfit is this?"
Seeing this figure, Qijie expressed a face full of surprise.
The reason he was so surprised was that this figure in a white palace garment had the face of a man, yet that masculine countenance was adorned with women’s makeup, appearing both enchanting and strange.
Xiao Yifeng looked at this figure, whose gender was ambiguous, his gaze flickering with a peculiar light.
Beside this figure was a stunning woman—the one Xiao Yifeng had seen yesterday who could cast illusionary realms, Sakura Yue.
"King of Yin and Yang!"
Suzuki Kai looked at the androgynous figure and spoke coldly.
"Lord Suzuki, long time no see, ah!"
The figure with a man’s face issued a delicate and gentle voice, which immediately left Qijie utterly dumbfounded.
"Come on, is this a man or a woman?"
Qijie wore a bewildered expression.
"He is the currently strongest member of the Yin Yang Family, the King of Yin and Yang, a rumored hermaphrodite with terrifying power. In Japan, he’s considered one of the top-tier experts, skilled in Yin Yang Illusion Technique, capable of ensnaring people into death without them even realizing, beyond detection."
Liusheng Jian explained.
A playful smirk appeared at the corner of Xiao Yifeng’s mouth.
"King of Yin and Yang, what do you want by showing up here at this time?"
Suzuki Kai’s gaze was fixed on the King of Yin and Yang as he spoke in a deep voice.
The King of Yin and Yang pointed at Xiao Yifeng, speaking with a soft and gentle voice. If one didn’t look at the face, based solely on this attire and that voice, ninety-nine percent of people would think this was a supreme quality beauty.
"Brother, are you that popular? Even a hermaphrodite is interested in you. But I’m really curious, does he have male parts or female parts down there?"
Qijie expressed a genuinely curious and puzzled look.
"Remember you are a monk, and a young one who just came of age at that. Can’t you be a bit less crude?"
Xiao Yifeng rolled his eyes at Qijie.
"This isn’t being crude, this is being studious. Master said, ’If you don’t understand something, you should ask and learn more!’"
Qijie declared earnestly, with no trace of shame.
"Are you also interested in the Sharira?"
Suzuki Kai scrutinized the King of Yin and Yang.
"He injured my disciple, naturally, I must seek revenge!"
The King of Yin and Yang said softly.
"Alright, once I get the Sharira, I’ll hand the person over to you!"
Suzuki Kai spoke in a heavy tone.
The King of Yin and Yang immediately refused.
"What do you mean by this, King of Yin and Yang?"
Suzuki Kai’s face darkened, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes as he glared at the King of Yin and Yang.
"Isn’t my meaning clear enough? I want him, and you are to leave immediately!"
The King of Yin and Yang twirled his slender fingers with a coquettish bearing, but when paired with the male face, it made one feel nauseous.
"Brother, I can’t stand this!"
Qijie turned his head aside, unable to bear looking directly at the scene.
Xiao Yifeng, however, remained exceptionally composed, the corners of his mouth still holding an inexplicable smile.
"King of Yin and Yang, do you really think that I would be afraid of you?"
A cold glint flickered in Suzuki Kai’s eyes.
"Suzuki Kai, others may treat you as one of the Heavenly God Palace’s five Deputy Masters, but you seem to have mistaken yourself for someone important. Do you think you can match me?"
A wicked smile curled at the King of Yin and Yang’s lips as he twisted his fingers.
Intense anger flashed through Suzuki Kai’s eyes as a terrible aura surged around him, solidifying the void around him so that not even air currents could flow freely.
"Suzuki Kai, if you want to fight me, better have the other four Deputy Masters join you. Otherwise, you’re not even entertaining enough for me to play with!"
The King of Yin and Yang snorted disdainfully.
"King of Yin and Yang, do you truly believe your Yin Yang Family can stand against my Heavenly God Palace?"
Suzuki Kai’s eyes flashed with intense rage as he shouted.
"Then let those strong ones in your Heavenly God Palace take action and see if they can annihilate my Yin Yang Family!"
The King of Yin and Yang laughed coldly.
Suzuki Kai let out a heavy snort, glanced at Xiao Yifeng, and then left the place.
Afterwards, the King of Yin and Yang’s gaze swept towards Xiao Yifeng and he spat, "Are you coming with me voluntarily, or shall I take you with me?"
Xiao Han began to speak, wanting to say something, but Xiao Yifeng stopped him.
"Uncle, trust me, nothing will happen. You all go wait for my news at Yiyi’s place first."
After saying these words, Xiao Yifeng followed the King of Yin and Yang and left the place.
"Princess, please help Brother Xiao. He just saved me today!"
Liusheng Yiyi walked up to Zi Luo and pleaded.
"Falling into the hands of the King of Yin and Yang, it’s just his bad luck. No one can help him."
Zi Luo’s expression was indifferent as she spoke, promptly leaving the area.
"What should we do now?"
Qijie looked at Xiao Han and Liusheng Jian with questioning eyes.
"All we can do is pray for Brother Xiao’s safety. There’s nothing else we can do; the Yin Yang Family is a taboo in Japan, and even the Imperial Family and Heavenly God Palace wouldn’t provoke them lightly."
Liusheng Jian’s expression was solemn as he spoke.
In a certain part of Kyoto, there stood an ancient clan building, the residence of the Yin Yang Family.
In a palace-like room within the Yin Yang Family, the King of Yin and Yang lay slanted on a soft couch, with Sakura Yue standing by his side, and Xiao Yifeng standing in front of them.
"Boy, you seem very calm!"
The King of Yin and Yang’s eyes glinted, watching Xiao Yifeng closely.
"Killing me would be as easy as flipping your hand; what good would it do me to be otherwise?"
Xiao Yifeng replied with a light smile, then glanced at the King of Yin and Yang and said, "But as for you, ’King of Yin and Yang,’ even though you possess the beauty of a goddess, you insist on maintaining a male visage and even contrive a dual-gender identity. What an odd practice, truly curious!"
Hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, the King of Yin and Yang remained expressionless, but next to him, Sakura Yue’s expression changed as she stared at Xiao Yifeng with a cold voice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I wrong? Your body from the inside out is that of a female; it’s just that male face of yours that spoils the beauty."
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes roamed over the King of Yin and Yang’s body as if appreciating a piece of art.
Upon hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, Sakura Yue’s face registered shock, while the male face of the King of Yin and Yang showed a hint of crimson, flickering with uncertainty.
A terrifying aura erupted, sending Xiao Yifeng flying back, crashing heavily to the ground, a mouthful of fresh blood spurting out.
