She gently waved her hand and spoke.

"Go down."

"After you finish this task, I will give you a small promotion as a reward."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared between Shui Shenglin's brows.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

After speaking, Shui Shenglin respectfully backed away.

Reaching the doorway, he gently closed it and then disappeared.

Then, Natsume turned her gaze to Himeko and spoke to her.

"Princess, you and Tamamo-no-Mae should return to Kyoto tomorrow. I'm afraid Natsumi Yoriyuki will come looking for you in a while."

Upon hearing this, Himeko Kamishiro was slightly puzzled.

"After a while?"

"Ah."

Summer flowers gently nod.

"Soon, soon."

"He'll come looking for you after he finishes that so-called core meeting..."

After she finished speaking, Xia Rihua's bright red, glass-like eyes shone brilliantly in the darkness, as radiant and ever-burning as the sun.

Her gaze passed through the wall to the towering tree in the center of the courtyard, which was reflected in her blood-red pupils as if it were burning.

Summer flowers gradually outline the cherry lips, and in the interplay of light and shadow, only the delicate cheeks, both bright and dim, reveal a faint smile, seemingly with profound meaning.

..........................................

..............................

The next day.

Wearing a delicate, backless kimono, Tamamo-no-Mae emerged disheveled from under the summer floral-patterned quilt.

Behind it, five fluffy pink and white fox tails swayed freely.

Her purple eyes, misty and glistening, shone with a crystal-clear luster, like a lotus emerging from the water.

She covered her pink lips, breathing heavily.

As she looked around, the unfamiliar yet familiar room layout gradually cleared her dazed eyes.

And the stares grew bigger and bigger.

She...it seems she slept in the mistress's bed last night?!

and……

Tamamo-no-Mae looked back and saw that her five pink and white fox tails were now covered in fur, instead of being completely bare as before. A look of joy immediately lit up her eyes.

But what about the mistress?

Did he give her the bed, and then go to sleep somewhere else by himself?

The thought of this filled Tamamo-no-Mae with a sense of guilt.

She stood up, and her kimono slipped down a little further, revealing half of her perfectly shaped curves and her delicate, fair skin.

Tamamo-no-Mae began to look around for Natsumi Hanae's figure.

Just then, a gentle and tender voice rang out from not far away.

"you're awake."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae looked around.

All I could see was Xia Rihua, dressed in a simple light-colored shirt, gazing intently at the towering tree by the window.

Then, without turning around, Natsumi Hanae continued speaking.

"It's been a long time since we slept together again."

"I still remember the first time I held you while you slept, you were only half my size."

"It's all fluffy, and it's warm and comfortable to hug."

"But now..."

At this point, Natsumi Hanae turned her head and looked at Tamamo-no-Mae's bear-like eyes. A trace of resentment rose in her beautiful red glass eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"It doesn't feel fluffy at all."

"Although it's soft, it's too slippery. Even if I restore your tail, it's still not quite the same. I definitely prefer how you looked when you were little."

"Can you change back?"

Tamamo Mae: "..."

She was speechless, but there was no going back. The growth of the Tamamo-no-Mae template had made her grow into this form.

However, Tamamo-no-Mae quickly noticed the blind spot, and her purple eyes immediately overflowed with unparalleled pleasure.

Last night, the mistress slept with me.

This isn't a pillow, it's the real, tangible Mistress.

How many years has it been? Tamamo-no-Mae was almost moved to tears, hugging her body pillow, because she had always wanted to relive this feeling.

What exactly was that feeling? It was incomparably...

do not know……

Last night, she was so engrossed in inhaling the scent of her mistress's blankets that she accidentally fell into a blissful sleep surrounded by her mistress's fragrance.

I have no idea what it's like to sleep with the mistress...

Rather, she didn't even know whether she had slept with the mistress last night.

Why didn't I wake up when I felt this once-in-a-lifetime sensation?!

Upon realizing this, Tamamo-no-Mae froze on the spot, her emotions collapsing, and her pupils losing focus.

Upon seeing this, Summer Flower Painting murmured softly.

"Ji Ming, you may come in now."

"Take Tamamo-no-Mae with you."

After she finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew through the room, and before she knew it, someone was standing beside Tamamo-no-Mae.

She straightened Tamamo-no-Mae's kimono, and stared at Tamamo-no-Mae's petrified, stiff body, her purple eyes filled with despair and gloom.

She couldn't help but purse her lips, admiring her mother's cunning.

The mother went to great lengths to ensure that Tamamo-no-Mae would leave without making a fuss.

Afterwards, Princess Kamishiro bid farewell to Natsume Hanae. A gentle breeze swept through, and the two figures, along with Tamamo-no-Mae, disappeared from sight.

After a while.

Chikuri Makoto's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Second Miss, the head of the family has ordered me to take you to the core meeting."

……

Chapter 228: Summer Flower Painting's Opposition

"Zhen, come in and help me wash and dress."

The moment the summer flowers fell, Chikari seemed to push open the door and enter impatiently.

She was dressed in a black uniform with an exquisitely embroidered golden oak tree on her chest, signifying her current status.

Chikuri's golden eyes sparkled, and a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

“Mom… Second Miss, look, I’ve now become the senior butler of the Summer Conglomerate.”

"You're qualified to attend the core meeting with me!"

Chikari's true pride didn't come from becoming a senior butler, but from having more time to spend with Natsumi Hanae.

Upon seeing that Chikari still addressed her in a way she couldn't shake, Natsumi Hanae slowly spoke.

“Shin, when you were in the West Gate, you could call me Mom. You could even call me that as long as you weren’t in front of Natsumi Yoriyuki. You don’t have to force yourself.”

Today, the Summer Zaibatsu has more than half of its assets under its control, so there is no need to be overly cautious.

For example, from the beginning, she called Chikari Makoto "Makoto" instead of using a title like "butler".

However, when Natsumi saw the golden oak on Chikari's chest, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

But seeing how happy Chikari was, she understood why he was so happy.
