The villainous second young lady becomes a god in a bizarre Tokyo.

However, the sense of incongruity disappeared from Shui Shenglin's words.

The mystery of why the package ended up in the hands of the water snake has been explained.

Given that it is almost certain that Tsukasa Chikuriya is a traitor.

So, it's likely that Summer Flower Painting used Chikuriya Tsukasa to deliver this gift to Mizuki Morinari, making him believe that something wrapped in a difficult-level extraordinary material must be extremely valuable.

Moreover, although Shui Sheng Shou Cheng is an A-rank, he is an A-rank with defense as his top priority. Furthermore, Xia Yuanliu previously saw Shui Sheng Shou Cheng's breakthrough to A-rank as a rootless duckweed, with a very weak foundation.

It's estimated that the attack power didn't even graz the edge of A-level.

Therefore, the package could not be opened.

Xia Rihua's actions were most likely intended to make her suspect Shui Shengshou, thereby provoking her to kill him in a fit of rage.

This is the current fate of the aquatic snake.

Unexpectedly, the package was stolen by a water snake.

Of course, Shui Sheng Shou Cheng wouldn't die from a normal strike, but if caught off guard, he would be seriously injured.

This could also create a rift between himself and the Shui Sheng lineage.

It must be said that Summer Flower Painting does indeed have a good plan.

Unfortunately, plans always change, and the package was stolen by the aquatic snake, who was at odds with Shui Sheng Shou Cheng.

From this perspective, I did gain a slight advantage.

Although this advantage is insignificant compared to the death of Natsumi Yosuke.

This advantage, of course, is that in the summer, Yuanliu is preparing for a full-scale war with Xiahuoshan, and Shuisheng Shoucheng, an A-level character, is naturally quite important.

Furthermore, the person in charge of the Beast Clan has likely now advanced to a level above mid-A grade...

Not to mention that Himeko-sama of the Divine Age came with a divine artifact.

With this, he was now 90% confident in defeating Xia Huoshan.

but……

Tsukasa Chikuri is already a traitor, and so is Makoto Chikuri.

So, the entire Thousand Hunt lineage.

Thinking of this, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Xia Yuanliu's light golden pupils.

The probability of betrayal from within the same lineage is very high.

Especially now that the Summer Consortium is short of B-level ability users, the betrayal of his faction has dealt him a heavy blow.

Hopefully, the situation hasn't deteriorated to that point.

After changing into a new brown kimono, Natsumi Yoriyuki walked out of the room.

Xiang Shuishenglin continued to ask.

"Natsuhi Hanae and Chikari should still be in their rooms."

Upon hearing this, Shui Shenglin nodded.

He had no reason to lie about this.

After all, Xia Yuanliu could easily have someone confirm this, and the fact that the Second Miss is still in her room indicates that it's her own decision and within the scope of her plan.

Xia Yuanliu nodded when he heard what Shui Shenglin said.

This was within my expectations.

After all, even if Chikuriya Tsukasa is a traitor and his combat strength is close to A-rank, he is still not A-rank.

It's impossible for them to have the means to rescue Natsume Hanae and Chikari Makoto.

It should be noted that there is also the A-rank Shui Sheng Shou Cheng, and the Shui Sheng lineage whose combat power is in no way inferior to that of the Qian Shou lineage, who are stationed together in the room of Xia Ri Hua E.

Not to mention, if Chishu Tsukasa forcibly goes to the rescue, once the real war starts, the commotion will attract other clans, and then they will be doomed.

As for the purpose of the summer flower painting, Natsumi Yoshiyuki knew it very well.

It was simply an attempt to win him over psychologically.

Furthermore, it would undermine the foundation of the Summer Zaibatsu. Once the last young master, Summer Akisuke, dies, the morale of the Summer Zaibatsu will inevitably plummet.

When the time comes, they will inevitably be unable to unleash their full strength against Xia Huoshan.

Some short-sighted external stewards might even flee because of this.

After a moment's thought, Xia Yuanliu immediately spoke.

"Shui Shenglin, do not tell anyone what I have said to you today."

"Also, kill all the maids and butlers in that room who know about Natsumi Yosuke's death, so that the news of Natsumi Yosuke's death doesn't get out."

"So as not to shake the morale of tomorrow's battle against Xiahuo Mountain."

There's an 80-90% chance that members of Xiahuo Mountain will come, and even the lord of Xiahuo Mountain might be among them.

This is Xia Yuanliu's experience in fighting against Xia Huoshan.

After all, the massive loss of B-level ability users stemmed from the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain's revenge against Xia Rilin.

Moreover, the death of Summer Tiger follows the same logic.

From this, we can conclude that the lord of Xiahuo Mountain is very protective of his own, and Xia Rihua, who has obtained the divinity of the Xiahuo Mountain deity, coupled with the wisdom he values, is no less important to Xiahuo Mountain than an A-level being.

Even when facing Natsumi Rinrei, who was only a B-rank student back then, Natsumi was still so protective of her.

Not to mention Natsume Hanae and Chikari Makoto.

Moreover, Mount Xiahuo is currently enjoying great power, with a deity appearing and destroying the Kujo Zaibatsu.

In their eyes, eliminating the Summer Zaibatsu is probably no big deal; they'll most likely come to Summer Mountain.

As long as he uses Natsume Hanae and Chikari Makoto's lives as bait.

As for...

Did Xia Huoshan know about this?

Summer Rinri, his good daughter, had probably already passed on this news to Xia Huoshan.

Everything has been arranged.

All he needs to do is go to the territory of the Mad Bone lineage in a little while and have the leader of the Mad Bone lineage fight alongside him tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanliu said to Shui Shenglin.

"After you've finished dealing with everything, go and get some rest to prepare for tomorrow's battle."

"Remember, don't tell anyone, not even your own people."

To prevent the news from leaking, Xia Yuanliu gave specific instructions.

Upon hearing this, Shui Shenglin nodded.

Xia Riliu was seen walking slowly towards the dining room.

Shui Shenglin lingered in place for a while, waiting for about ten minutes, before turning and leaving.

However, they were not heading to the aquatic tribe's territory to rest, nor were they dealing with the spread of the news.

Instead, they headed towards the room with summer flower paintings.

own people?

What Xia Yuanliu calls "one of our own" is not, in Shui Shenglin's eyes, "one of our own."

In that case, it would be perfectly acceptable to tell the second young lady, who is not one of Xia Yuanliu's own people.

He needed to quickly recount the details of Xia Yuanliu's conversation with the Second Miss to prevent any omissions and to make her plan more complete.

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

Inside the room where meals are served.

Half an hour later, Xia Yuanliu got up to say goodbye.

“Poor hospitality.”

"We'll capture Xiahuo Mountain in one fell swoop tomorrow, and then we'll host a banquet for Lord Ji Ming."

"After Lady Hime-no-Mikoto finishes her meal, a steward will be waiting at the door and will then escort her to her room."

"I still have matters to discuss with the leaders of the other clans."

"I'll take my leave now."

Upon hearing this, Himeko nodded and watched as Natsumi Yoriyuki walked out the door.

After eating for another ten minutes or so, Himeko spoke softly to Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, it's time for us to go to Mother's room."

However, figuring out how to get rid of the housekeeper arranged by Xia Yuanliu is also a troublesome matter.

The only way is to find a way to get into the assigned room, and then use some means to sneak out.
