Chapter 265: Raiden Makoto's scheme! Sister-in-law and concubine!

That lingering grievance and hatred seemed to melt away with his words.

Raiden Ei's stiff body gradually became soft, letting him hold her without a word.

Seeing this, Luo Li had a rough idea, and his courage gradually grew.

A faint fragrance completely different from Raiden Makoto's, along with the scent unique to gentian flowers, lingered in his nose.

Compared to Makoto's softness, Ei was a bit more powerful, her skin tighter and more elastic.

"Let go of me!"

Before he could experience more, Ei began to struggle.

"Ei, forgive me, okay? I promise I won't lie to you again."

The intensity of the struggle decreased; Raiden Ei bit her lip where he couldn't see, her expression very hesitant.

Although the anger had been vented, she was still a bit unwilling to forgive him just like that.

It was too easy for him!

Seeing there was a chance, Luo Li hurriedly increased his efforts, continuing to speak soft words.

He had understood clearly hundreds of years ago that Ei ate soft but not hard.

Hearing his sincere admission of guilt, Raiden Ei's expression gradually softened.

Unlike before, when she knew the truth and listened to Luo Li’s nonsense while holding back her anger, the noble Raiden Shogun now seemed able to listen.

However, just as Luo Li was holding her tighter without a sound, Ei suddenly panicked and broke free from his embrace, turning into a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky and returned to the Tenshukaku.

Luo Li looked up and met Raiden Makoto's meaningful gaze.

"Cough..."

Almost forgot, her sister was still watching.

But regardless, the first hurdle was finally passed; after the process of being hacked over a thousand times, Ei's anger had been vented.

Even if she still had lingering anger and opinions about him later, it wouldn't be as exaggerated as before.

Staying in place to think for a moment, Luo Li followed her back to the Tenshukaku.

At this time, Raiden Ei, who had returned a step earlier, was already sitting high up, looking straight ahead, ignoring Luo Li's return.

In contrast, Raiden Makoto came up considerately and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Luo Li sighed and shook his head; possessing the core of the Herrscher of Thunder, he was almost immune to Ei's lightning.

It was just that for the two of them to return to their previous relationship, it would probably take some time.

Seeing that he was indeed unharmed, Makoto was relieved and stepped up to his ear to say: "Don't be discouraged. Letting you suffer a little bit first makes it easier to taste the sweetness after the bitterness."

"???"

Luo Li was confused; what exactly did that mean?

"Don't worry, leave Ei to me; you just need to wait for good news."

"!!!"

Luo Li couldn't hide his surprise; as expected of my wife!

I'll leave the sister-in-law and concubine to you!

Confirming that Luo Li's mood was high, Makoto rolled her eyes at him and returned to the high seat to whisper to her sister.

Looking left and right, Luo Li found that Mikoshi Chiyo was also kneeling on the side of the high seat, showing him a wronged expression.

"Uh..."

Luo Li groaned, indicating he was helpless.

It seemed that the news that she had gone to find him with a mission but had played happily and forgotten to return had been reported by Miko, and she was now receiving Raiden Ei's death stare, unable to get away.

Luo Li, who used to be the center of everyone's attention, suddenly found that there was no one around he could talk to, and he had the illusion of being left out.

Feeling helpless, he looked at the destroyed wall and gently waved his sleeve.

In an instant, as if time were flowing backward, the destroyed wooden materials returned to their original places until they were intact.

In just a few minutes, the damaged area was brand new.

At the same time, a familiar teasing voice came from the side hall.

"Oh my, it seems the fight is over; I returned just in time."

Kitsune Saigu was seen carrying a silver tray, walking in from the side door with a swaying waist.

A "fox siren" is exactly what she is.

Beside her, the little fox spirit Yae Miko swayed in almost the same way.

"Are the two lords tired? Come, try the tea I brewed and the snacks I made myself, won't you?"

Seeing the look Saigu gave him, Luo Li’s heart moved, and he immediately followed her to the table on the high seat.

This was an excellent opportunity to close the distance, and it couldn't be wasted.

Sensing Luo Li approaching, Ei, whose expression had softened slightly because of her sister, snorted, but ultimately didn't refuse him coming over.

Just now, because of the romantic and beautiful atmosphere of the sea of flowers, she had actually been moved and softened; Ei was angry at her own lack of resolve.

Wanting to forgive him after just a few soft words—she had no backbone!

Instinctively sitting in his previous position, Luo Li sat almost next to Raiden Ei, with only Raiden Makoto acting as a buffer in the middle.

No one had any objections to this.

Yae Miko, knowing she had been a traitor, wanted to escape, but at the Mistress's request, she first poured tea for everyone present, then sat on the side, quite uneasy.

Because she felt Luo Li's gaze sweeping over her from time to time, filled with the taste of "revenge."

Backstabbing is fun for a moment, settling the score is a crematorium.

Fortunately, Kitsune Saigu attracted the fire at this time.

"Now, Lord Luo Li, it's been so long, you wouldn't be a stranger to me, would you?"

Saigu, with a strange tea-like vibe, picked up the only string of three-colored dango from the snacks and fed it to his mouth.

Saigu, with a smiling face, had a sweet tone, and combined with the act of feeding him, no man could refuse.

"A stranger? How could that be? I’m afraid I’ll never forget the memories I have with Saigu for the rest of my life."

Luo Li didn't mind biting the three-colored dango, his tone meaningful.

The friendship between the two, if you think about it, was only slightly worse than with Raiden Makoto.

Back at the Tenryou Commission, the process of Kitsune Saigu scrubbing his back with her ample abyss was truly fresh in his memory.

Thinking about it now, it was still an endless aftertaste.

"Giggle, that's good. I thought you had forgotten about me, your tone wasn't affectionate at all."

Kitsune Saigu’s behavior of deliberately setting the pace in front of Raiden Ei was quickly seen through by Luo Li, and it caused Ei to glance sideways frequently.

Saigu pretended to realize: "Oh my, I forgot, Lord Ei seems to be very fond of this dango snack now, but I only made one and gave it to Lord Luo Li, what should I do?"

Raiden Ei's expression froze instantly.

It was true she liked dango desserts, but not now; the reason she cared was because you two were too intimate!

At the same time, Luo Li understood instantly and handed the half-eaten three-colored dango directly to Ei.

"How about... Ei, you reluctantly accept it?"

This move was a test.
