Chapter 440

He leaned back in the bathtub carelessly.

Both arms were resting outside.

His strong body was clearly visible in the clear water.

Kujukuri Nanae looked at the bathtub, somewhat dazed.

A moment later, a red glow covered her cheeks.

She didn't say anything, knelt by the bathtub, and used a ladle to scoop some hot water to pour over Akaso Kaze.

Then she took the body wash, poured some into her palm, and used her soft little hands to help Akaso Kaze apply it.

"Lord Akaso, you should be able to do it, right..."

Kujukuri Nanae asked in a low voice.

"What?" Akaso Kaze looked at her.

"Keep Motoyasu's soul."

Kujukuri Nanae said while starting to help Akaso Kaze massage his shoulders.

This woman's technique seemed pretty good.

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up.

"I can indeed do it. If it's because of this, you don't have to do this, Madam. We can reach another deal."

During the meal, Akaso Kaze suddenly had an idea.

For those high-ranking officials and nobles, being able to keep their souls after death is like still being alive.

And for Akaso Kaze, it's nothing more than carving out a piece of space in his domain.

Since that's the case, why shouldn't he use such an ability to enhance his own strength and expand his connections?

Kujukuri Nanae's hands paused, then she continued to massage downward.

"Motoyasu offended many people when he was alive. Now that he's gone, only the two of us, mother and daughter, are left..."

"It's very difficult to keep this family business."

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but look at her with higher regard.

This woman is not simple; she knows her current situation.

Just look at Kujukuri Motoyasu's cause of death; he was so jealous of his disciple that he actually committed murder, which shows what kind of character he had.

Such a person definitely has no shortage of enemies.

Now that he's dead, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it; the remaining widow and orphan are like two little lambs in a pack of hungry wolves.

Sooner or later, they will be swallowed skin and bones.

Kujukuri Nanae coming to him at this time is not just about keeping Motoyasu's soul; I'm afraid she also has the intention of having him provide protection.

However, what good does this do for me?

Akaso Kaze was somewhat hesitant.

A wave suddenly came from the soul space.

Akaso Kaze peeked inside.

Huh?

When did Kujukuri Motoyasu's soul grow so big?

It's like an inflatable doll, almost about to explode.

Extract magic power.

Sizzle.

He shrank back down.

Looking at Kujukuri Nanae, Akaso Kaze's eyes lit up.

So that's how it is!

There's such a magical benefit.

Then that's easy to handle.

Akaso Kaze looked at Kujukuri Nanae with a smile.

"I can agree to your request."

"But you have to perform a magic trick for me."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Kujukuri family happily celebrated Ayano's birthday.

Of course, both mother and daughter were very happy.

As for Kujukuri Motoyasu...

He couldn't say anything anyway; he was just a decoration.

At 2:00 PM, near Akaso Kaze's residence, a car was parked on the side of the road.

Inside the car were an old man and a young man. The old man's expression was somewhat worried, and he asked the boy beside him anxiously:

"Young Master, are you really going to sneak into that mysterious Onmyoji's house to steal things? That's very dangerous. Why don't you tell me what to steal, and I'll go in for you."

PS: The author is also very helpless; the whole magic trick was cut.
