Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 238 - 238 224 Where is Your Chastity Mark_2

238: Chapter 224: Where is Your Chastity Mark?_2 238: Chapter 224: Where is Your Chastity Mark?_2 Lu Chuan twisted his fingers to form a spell, releasing a wave of power that enveloped him, beginning his investigation of the curse that lingered on Kishimoto Haruko.

It didn’t take long for him to discover a contract within Kishimoto Haruko’s body; the so-called curse was in effect due to this contract.

“So it’s a contract-related technique, moreover, it’s a high-level contract.

No wonder it became the Kishimoto clan’s curse.”

Looking up at Lu Chuan, Kishimoto Haruko asked, “Lu Chuan, is there a way to break it?”

Lu Chuan smiled and replied, “Yes.”

Although a high-level contract was complex, his inherited memories contained many methods to unravel them.

However, with Lu Chuan’s current power at the Advanced Foundation Building stage, breaking this contract would be extremely difficult.

He would need to reach the Golden Core Stage to be assured of success.

Kishimoto Haruko’s face lit up with excitement, “Really?”

Lu Chuan nodded.

“However, we will have to wait until after we attend Kitahara Sousuke’s birthday banquet, then I can be sure.”

Once he reclaimed the remaining three dragon veins, he would be able to officially make a breakthrough.

At that time, he could easily help Kishimoto Haruko sever the link between the contract within her and Tamamo-no-Mae.

Kishimoto Haruko didn’t ask further, simply nodding earnestly at Lu Chuan, her face showing a hint of anticipation.

…

Evening.

After bathing, Kishimoto Haruko, dressed only in a kimono with nothing underneath, approached the door to Zhong Ling’er’s room.

She raised a hand and knocked on the door of Zhong Ling’er.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Who is it?” Zhong Ling’er’s voice came through.

“It’s me, Sister Ling’er.” Kishimoto Haruko answered.

After experiencing life and death together, the two had begun to refer to each other as sisters.

“Come in.”

Kishimoto Haruko pushed open the door, stepped inside, then closed and locked it behind her.

Turning around, she saw Zhong Ling’er had already buried herself under the covers; a nervous Kishimoto Haruko walked over.

Just thinking about how Zhong Ling’er was a woman just like herself, a strange feeling stirred within her.

But she had already promised Zhong Ling’er to accompany her in sleep as compensation for her wrongdoing, so naturally, she could not go back on her word.

“Sister Ling’er, I…I’m here to apologize.”

With that, Kishimoto Haruko let her kimono slide down to the floor.

Zhong Ling’er turned her little head, her eyes widened upon seeing the bare body before her, and then, with a crimson face, she exclaimed, “Sister Haruko, you…

why are you not wearing any clothes?”

Also red-faced, Kishimoto Haruko turned her head away, unable to make eye contact with Zhong Ling’er, “Don’t you like it?”

Zhong Ling’er thought to herself that it was all said in jest; how could she have known she would take it seriously!

A bit helplessly, but still, she reached out her hand and pulled Kishimoto Haruko under the covers, “Don’t stand outside, it’s cold.

You might catch a cold.”

Kishimoto Haruko’s body tensed up, her nerves at the breaking point as she said, “Sister Ling’er, I…I’ve always liked men.

I’ve never encountered a girl who likes other girls like you do.

So if I am a bit awkward, you’ll have to teach me.”

Zhong Ling’er burst out laughing and said, “Ah, Sister Haruko, what are you thinking?

I’m not going to make you do anything with me.”

Kishimoto Haruko was somewhat surprised, “Aren’t you into women, and didn’t you ask me to sleep with you?”

Zhong Ling’er replied, “That was just me speaking out of anger, who knew you would take it seriously.

But since you’re here now, let’s…”

Kishimoto Haruko breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought that tonight she might truly have to give her body to another girl.

But upon hearing Zhong Ling’er’s next words, she immediately tensed up again.

It seems there’s no escaping it after all…

Yet she heard Zhong Ling’er say, “Let’s…

talk about Lu Chuan.”

Kishimoto Haruko paused and glanced at Zhong Ling’er, saying, “Didn’t you dislike him?

Why talk about him?”

Zhong Ling’er showed a hint of embarrassment and said, “Ah, that was all an act on my part, and after what happened last night, I find that my feelings for him seem to have changed…”

…

Several days later.

Kitahara Sousuke’s birthday celebration arrived.

That evening.

Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er went together with Kishimoto Naoki and Kishimoto Haruko to the Kitahara aristocratic family to attend the birthday party.

The Kitahara family’s mansion was four to five times larger than the Kishimoto’s, almost rivaling the size of a prince’s estate from ancient Cathay.

At this time, the mansion was bustling with activity.

All the guests attending the birthday party were from the Island Country’s upper echelons, truly either wealthy or noble.

Of course, as Kitahara Sousuke was the first person in the Island Country’s Martial Path, the guests at his birthday celebration naturally included many martial arts masters from the Island Country.

Lu Chuan released his Divine Sense to observe those present and was somewhat surprised to find that among the friends Kitahara Sousuke had invited, there were actually five people with Transcendent Realm Level 9 strength!

Of course, given the small land area of the Island Country, these five Transcendent Realm Level 9 probably were all the top experts in the country.

“Kitahara Sousuke is the first in the Island Country, so it’s normal for all the Transcendent Realm Level 9 from the country to come and celebrate his birthday,”

After a while, Kitahara Sousuke appeared in the yard.

Everyone gathered around to talk to him.

Lu Chuan took a good look at this old man with white hair and an aura of authority surrounding his entire being.

The old man’s presence was profound and his eyes sharp, indeed he gave off a more oppressive vibe than the other five skillful Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts present.

However, Lu Chuan noticed that the old man seemed a bit weak in the kidneys, which meant that Suzumiya Ichikazu wasn’t lying about him still lusting after women at his age.

“This old pervert can be the first in the Island Country, it seems there’s a reason why the customs in this place are so improper,”

Lu Chuan criticized privately and did not rush to confront Kitahara Sousuke.

The other party was the first person in the Island Country’s swordsmanship, with formidable strength, and surrounded by five skillful Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts, so whether Lu Chuan could defeat him was a question.

Therefore, he planned to first find those three dragon veins and then see if there was an opportunity to kill Kitahara Sousuke, to fulfill his promise to Suzumiya Ichikazu.

He instructed Zhong Ling’er to follow Haruko and then found an opportunity to slip quietly into the house.

Because he had already absorbed one dragon vein, as long as he was close enough, Lu Chuan would be able to sense the other dragon veins.

As soon as he arrived here, he sensed the presence of the other three dragon veins.

Following the induction, he arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Since everyone was in the front yard celebrating Kitahara Sousuke’s birthday, and the servants in the house also went to join the festivities, Lu Chuan encountered no obstructions.

He turned his head to make sure no one had discovered him and then walked into the house in the courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Lu Chuan felt a majestic aura of power.

The room was empty, without a single item in it.

Immediately after, he saw three dragon veins located in the eastern, southern, and western directions, floating in mid-air.

“This old guy just leaves the dragon veins out like this, his heart is too big,” Lu Chuan said with a smile on his face, reaching out to take the dragon veins.

But the next second, an invisible barrier stopped him.

Streams of golden light appeared, and complicated patterns began to emerge on the floor and walls of the house, joining together to form a whole.

There was actually a Formation in this room!

Lu Chuan looked at the Formation with a frown, feeling its terror.

The power contained within it could probably instantly pulverize him.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded behind Lu Chuan.

“Who are you?

This is a forbidden area of the Kitahara aristocratic family, who allowed you in?”
