Li Feng, upon being shone on by the flashlight, did not panic but instead cursed at the crew member. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
The crew member, utilizing the light from the flashlight, saw two people closely huddled together on the deck and let out a sneering laugh before turning away.
Yamada Sakura hadn’t expected Li Feng to speak Japanese, and moreover, in a genuine Kanto accent, which even fooled the crew member.
After watching the crew member walk away, Li Feng turned back, knocked out Yamada Sakura, and she fell right into his arms.
Li Feng then carried Yamada Sakura over his shoulder and left the Snow Ball.
Yamada Sakura suddenly gasped for air as if coming back to life after drowning, opened her eyes, and found herself not on the Snow Dragon Maru but inside an extravagant limousine.
Her gaze swiftly surveyed the interior of the car before settling on the man sitting on the sofa beside her.
It was Li Feng, who had kidnapped her on the Snow Dragon Maru.
Yamada Sakura instinctively bowed her head, her face immediately flushing red as she realized her blouse had inexplicably disappeared, and the bandage wrapped around her previously injured shoulder had evidently been changed.
Biting her teeth, Yamada Sakura looked up at Li Feng, "Where are you taking me?"
Li Feng, holding a wine glass and looking down at her, said, "There’s a party at the Shanshui Group tonight; we should still make it on time, and you’re lucky to be chosen as my companion. There’s a dress beside you for you to wear."
At his words, Yamada Sakura tensed up. A party at the Shanshui Group—wasn’t that Zheng Jun’s group? And she had met Zheng Jun since her teacher was the organizer of this operation.
What would happen if she appeared at Zheng Jun’s party as Li Feng’s companion?
"You wish, I will never agree to it," Yamada Sakura gritted her teeth; she would not submit to a man from Yan Country.
Li Feng squinted at the defiant Yamada Sakura, "So, you’re refusing me."
Li Feng smirked and shifted his body in front of Yamada Sakura, whose eyes coldly met his; she was an Iga Ninja after all, and no amount of torture would make her submit.
Li Feng squatted down, smiling as their eyes met.
Yamada Sakura coldly snorted, "I will not submit to you, a Yan Country man, whether you possess or torture me; you’ll never make me yield."
"Oh, then do you dare to stare into my eyes?"
Li Feng stared back at Yamada Sakura, who looked at him incredulously, "Hmph, why wouldn’t I?"
She wasn’t afraid of being assaulted or even tortured; why would she fear his gaze?
Yamada Sakura raised her head, defiantly staring into Li Feng’s eyes, but within seconds, she felt like she was sucked in; his gaze was as deep as a black hole, capable of devouring a person.
She tried to break away but couldn’t extricate herself.
As Li Feng spoke, a layer of mist seemed to cover Yamada Sakura’s eyes, but she mumbled, "Yamada Sakura."
"I’m called Yamada Sakura."
"Yamada Sakura, you will accompany me as my companion to the party."
"I will accompany you to the party."
Yamada Sakura repeated, "I must attend the party...!"
Li Feng smiled as he looked at the hypnotised Yamada Sakura; if Li Feng had assaulted or tortured her, Yamada Sakura might not have submitted, as she had set up mental defenses, and any humiliation wouldn’t have any effect, instead making her more resolute.
However, Li Feng took a different approach, bypassing Yamada Sakura’s most guarded defenses, like the Maginot Line; once bypassed, that was her weakest point.
A master hypnotist can sway your thoughts in just a few words, making you fall into a trap set by the mind; those scams are just a beginner’s psychological suggestive hypnosis. Additionally, props can induce an "Illusion Sleep" state.
And eyes can also be a medium for hypnosis, though not many hypnotists are capable of this.
Once Yamada Sakura kept staring into Li Feng’s eyes, she had already fallen into his hypnotic trap, and his use of subconscious hypnosis had turned her defenses into mere decorations.
Li Feng snapped his fingers, and Yamada Sakura woke up from her hypnotic state, her gaze still somewhat blank.
"Miss Sakura, please change into the dress and accompany me to the Shanshui Group party," Li Feng spoke again.
This time, Yamada Sakura did not resist Li Feng but instead turned to look at the dress nearby, her face flushing with embarrassment, "Am I supposed to change here?"
"What, are you still shy?"
