Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 259 - 259 243 Outsmart_1

259: Chapter 243 Outsmart_1 259: Chapter 243 Outsmart_1 Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan hastily said, “How could that be okay, Haruko?

In Cathay, we have an ancient saying: ‘Men and women should not touch when giving or receiving things.’ If I help you, wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you?”

Kishimoto Haruko, however, moved closer to Lu Chuan and said, “Isn’t it the doctor’s duty to try their best to fulfil a patient’s request?”

“Besides, only the two of us know about this, I won’t tell anyone else,” she added.

Lu Chuan’s face was full of hesitation, but he eventually agreed, saying, “Alright then, but I might have a bit of strength, so you’ll have to endure it.”

Kishimoto Haruko coquettishly said, “You’re such a tease.”

Then she climbed onto Lu Chuan’s body, leaned into his ear, and whispered softly, “Let me feel how strong you really are…”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, then immediately stood up and pressed Kishimoto Haruko’s hands against the sofa.

Kishimoto Haruko’s face turned pale, and frowning, she asked, “Lu Chuan, what are you doing?”

The drunken expression on Lu Chuan’s face had completely disappeared, and his expression returned to calm as he said coldly, “I noticed something was off with your grandfather at dinner today.

After I saved him at the airport earlier, I explicitly told him not to drink alcohol.

Yet today, he drank so much with me, as if he had forgotten what I had said.”

“And now you come over to seduce me; the Haruko I know is not such a casual person!”

“What on earth are you trying to do!” he demanded.

Kishimoto Haruko became visibly flustered and said, “I…

I really just wanted you to help me get treatment.

I didn’t have any other intention.”

Although she said this, her eyes began to shine with a bright light, clearly signaling that she had been exposed and was trying to send a message to Kishimoto Naoki.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately manipulated a hand gesture and took control of the power within Kishimoto Haruko’s body, preventing her from using it to send any messages.

He then discovered that the power inside Kishimoto Haruko was the power of Divine Soul, and that she had been seducing him because someone was controlling her mind.

Without hesitation, he applied a technique to extract the power of Divine Soul from her body.

The look in Kishimoto Haruko’s eyes immediately returned to clarity, and seeing herself pressed against the sofa by Lu Chuan, she exclaimed in shock, “Lu Chuan, what…

what are we doing?”

Once Lu Chuan saw that Kishimoto Haruko was back to normal, he let go of her hands and said, “You were being controlled by someone else, trying to seduce me just now.”

Kishimoto Haruko’s face changed as she recalled what Kishimoto Naoki had told her, and she quickly asked, “Did…

did I succeed?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “You were close.

You’re too beautiful, and you tried so hard to flirt with me.

If I hadn’t noticed something was wrong earlier, I might have really fallen for it today.”

Kishimoto Haruko breathed a sigh of relief, but as she realized that Lu Chuan was making fun of her, a blush of shame appeared on her face.

She quickly buttoned up the buttons on her chest and said with a flushed face, “I’m…

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Lu Chuan smiled and asked, “What exactly is going on?

Why were you being mind-controlled?”

Kishimoto Haruko quickly explained the abnormal behavior of Kishimoto Naoki and the fact that he had given her a Mesmerisation Pill.

“I don’t know why my grandfather has become like this.

Ever since you saved us from Kameda Ichiro’s hands, I have felt that he is a bit different from before.

I couldn’t believe he would actually ask me to seduce you.

I even started to doubt if he really is my grandfather.”

Lu Chuan pondered for a long time, unable to understand why Kishimoto Naoki had undergone such a change, nor why he had a Mesmerisation Pill, which only a Cultivator could concoct.

After all, ordinary people, even powerful Martial Artists, shouldn’t be aware of its existence.

He examined the power of Divine Soul that he had taken under his control and soon felt a familiar sensation from it.

“Grand Elder Huang Quan?” Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, and his expression became grave.

Kishimoto Haruko asked, “Did you find something?”

Lu Chuan said, “This power is very similar to what we encountered on Grand Elder Huang Quan in the volcanic cave.

I suspect that your grandfather might be under Huang Quan’s control.”

The color drained from Kishimoto Haruko’s face.

“Grand Elder Huang Quan?

Wasn’t he sealed?

Could he have escaped?”

Lu Chuan said, “I’m not clear about that, but it’s highly unlikely that he can break free from the seal.

Your grandfather is probably controlled by some other method.”

After all, Grand Elder Huang Quan was a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.

If he had indeed escaped, why would he need to bother with controlling others, even having Kishimoto Haruko seduce me?

He could simply lift a finger and annihilate me.

Worry clouded Kishimoto Haruko’s face as she asked, “Then, could something happen to my grandfather?”

Lu Chuan said, “Don’t worry for now.

As long as it’s not Grand Elder Huang Quan in person, there’s still a chance for everything to turn around.”

“Let’s counter their scheme with one of our own.

Later, you just pretend that you’ve successfully controlled me, and we’ll see what your grandfather will do.”

Based on his hypothesis, if the controlled Kishimoto Naoki had a way to deal with him, he certainly wouldn’t bother using things like Mesmerisation Pills.

Therefore, it’s highly likely that the opposition doesn’t have the power to defeat him directly.

Kishimoto Haruko nodded, ready to rise and head out.

Lu Chuan pulled her back, saying, “What’s the rush?

If you really had seduced me successfully, we’d be in the midst of that affair right now; how could we possibly go out so soon?”

Kishimoto Haruko, puzzled, said, “But I’ve read online that that kind of thing can be done in three minutes.

Does it really take that long?”

Lu Chuan, caught between laughter and helplessness, said, “With my physical condition, how could it possibly end in three minutes?

I feel like you’re somewhat underestimating me.”

Flushing with embarrassment, Kishimoto Haruko said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that.

I just don’t understand very well.”

“Then… what should we do now?”

Lu Chuan said, “How about I prove whether I’m a three-minute man?”

“Ah???

” Kishimoto Haruko’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Lu Chuan, her face turning red down to her neck, “Really…

really?”

Lu Chuan laughed heartily and said, “Just kidding, just kidding.”

“Did you forget that you volunteered to become a Lantern Bearer?”

Heart skipping a beat, Kishimoto Haruko recalled the several life-and-death experiences she’d had, her emotions having swung wildly, indeed she had forgotten about it.

Lu Chuan said, “I promised to help you solve this trouble, so let’s do it now.

It’s a good way to kill some time.

Lie down on the sofa.”

Kishimoto Haruko nodded and obediently laid down on the sofa.

Lu Chuan executed his methods, beginning to sever the contract connection within Kishimoto Haruko’s body with Tamamo-no-Mae.

After a long while, Lu Chuan resolved the trouble within Kishimoto Haruko’s body.

Having discussed their plan, the two of them walked out of the room together.

Coming before Kishimoto Naoki, Kishimoto Haruko said, “Grandfather, I’ve finished that matter with Lu Chuan.

He… has now become my slave.”
