Her snow-white shoulders and slender thighs were exposed, and virtual-novel.net eyes were filled with tender affection.
Jared was taken aback when virtual-novel.net saw Yuri kneeling before him.
“Master, let me serve you tonight…” Yuri’s face flushed, virtual-novel.net gaze burning as virtual-novel.net reached for Jared.
Her breathing was heavy and feverish as if virtual-novel.net wanted to devour him.
Jared frowned slightly, his finger gently touching Yuri’s forehead, sending a surge of spiritual energy into virtual-novel.net body. Her fiery gaze vanished, replaced by a shy look laced with fear.
Quickly, Jared grabbed a sheet to cover Yuri.
Yuri took in virtual-novel.net own look, and streams of tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
“Go tell your father that since I’ve agreed to stay, I will free the Watanabe family from the shrine. There’s no need for this,” Jared said.
With that, virtual-novel.net closed his eyes and began cultivating.
The path of cultivation was endless, and Jared knew virtual-novel.net couldn’t rest. Many people and matters were waiting for him.
Yuri looked at Jared’s serene face and was momentarily dazed, virtual-novel.net heart pounding.
Initially, Yuri had been unwilling when Ryosuke had asked virtual-novel.net to accompany Jared. However, for virtual-novel.net family and parents, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to take some medicine to muster the courage to enter Jared’s room. To virtual-novel.net surprise, Jared had such incredible self-control, showing no signs of temptation.
Yuri slowly stood up, virtual-novel.net eyes fixed on Jared. After about ten minutes, virtual-novel.net finally left.
Jared opened his eyes and sighed heavily after making sure that virtual-novel.net was gone.
He was only human, after all.
How could virtual-novel.net not react to such beauty before him?
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net couldn’t cross that line.
Josephine was still suffering, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t do anything that would betray her.

The news of Asuka‘s and Masato’s deaths spread quickly throughout Jetroina.
Kawano, who had been by Masato’s side, had also been beheaded.
Many speculations arose, but with no witnesses, the people could only guess who was responsible.
Some believed Ryosuke was the culprit, but others argued virtual-novel.net didn’t have the power to kill Masato, who was protected by Kawano.
Others suggested it was an expert from Chanaea with a grudge against the Watanabe family, but why was Ryosuke, the family head, unharmed?
This theory didn‘t hold up either.
In addition to Ryosuke intentionally stirring up rumors, the identity of the murderer remained a mystery. However, someone sensed danger in the air.
That person was Kazuo.
Although virtual-novel.net didn’t witness Jared killing Kawano and the others, virtual-novel.net was sure Jared was the one responsible, as no one else would do such a thing. The only explanation for Ryosuke’s safety was his collusion with Jared.
This way, Jared could exact revenge, and Ryosuke would be able to eliminate his opponents and maintain his position as the Watanabe family head.
The partnership seemed normal, as both parties stood to benefit.
“Get the car!” Kazuo shouted hastily.

Meanwhile, at Thousand Crane Shrine, four people dressed in traditional Jetroinian attire were seated across from each other.
An old man among them kept his eyes closed and remained silent.
Of the four, there was a woman, with a beautiful face and a hint of coldness in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Seated at the head of the table was a middle-aged man, Hiroichi Ono, the president of Thousand Crane Shrine.
