Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

The giant snake asked with a grotesque face, its ugly appearance making it hard not to feel disgusted.

But Luo Xing's expression didn't show anything unusual; on the contrary, his tone was somewhat enthusiastic.

"Of course it's true. How could my father-in-law refuse the general's request?"

The giant snake was overjoyed and couldn't wait to ask, "Those strange human cells..."

Luo Xing reached out, interrupting the giant snake's next words, and laughed:

"This matter is of great importance; let's go inside the general's residence to discuss it further."

The snake and chick nodded repeatedly, like pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk about it, let's go inside and talk about it."

We entered the main hall of the general's mansion.

The giant serpent had already prepared a sumptuous feast.

On Luo Xing's side, only he and Plague Quinn were seated; the rest of the people were waiting outside.

Orochi didn't bring any guards, only his captain, Kyoshiro.

In addition, there is one more person.

The woman dancing gracefully in the center of the hall right now is Komurasaki, the courtesan known as the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.

Xiao Zi, dressed in a rainbow-colored gown, with her hair adorned with golden jewels, possessed snow-white skin and a graceful figure. Her appearance, half-concealed like a pipa player, truly evoked the feeling of a hundred charms blooming with a single glance.

She truly deserves the title of the most beautiful courtesan.

Even though he was used to seeing his wife Yamato's stunning beauty, Luo Xing had to admit that Kozuki Oden's daughter was a genuine beauty.

The dance ended.

The black charcoal serpent, seated on the general's throne, was completely mesmerized, while Queen the Plague's eyes were also filled with hearts.

Only Luo Xing maintained a faint smile throughout, without doing anything out of line.

Although Xiao Zi was meek and obedient, her more than ten years of experience in playing along with others had given her an ability to read people's expressions and moods far beyond that of ordinary people.

Her intuition told her that this newlywed prince consort seemed quite different from anyone she had ever met before.

At this time.

The serpent's voice further solidified her intuition.

"Xiao Zi, hurry up and serve wine to Prince Consort Luo Xing."

Normally, the snake would be eager for her to pour him wine.

But this time, instead of doing so, she was made to sit next to the Prince Consort of the Hundred Beasts, clearly showing her great flattery towards the latter.

"Your Highness, please have a drink."

Xiao Zi carefully concealed her true thoughts, revealing a gentle smile on her face, and softly spoke.

Luo Xing glanced at Xiao Zi.

With just one glance, Xiao Zi's heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably felt as if her whole being had been seen through.

"Thank you."

The man downed the drink in his glass and then looked away from her.

Xiao Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she knew it, the back of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

"General Orochi".

Luo Xing had no intention of revealing Hiyori's identity right now, and turned to Orochi, saying:

"The monster cells are incredibly powerful, enough to double your guard's strength. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the Shogun's majesty to the people of Wano Country!"

“I propose that we invite prominent figures from the six regions of Kuri, Nozomi, Udon, Ringo, and Hakumai to the Flower Capital to attend the ceremony, and at the same time, spread the video Den Den Mushi to all parts of Wano Country.”

"Under such intense public scrutiny, your guards have consumed monster cells and greatly increased their strength, enough to make everyone in Wano Country hold you in even greater awe!"

Upon hearing this, the giant snake jumped up with joy.

"Great idea, great idea! Let everyone see it, let everyone respect me even more, then no one will dare to rebel against me anymore!"

The giant snake danced excitedly, repeatedly toasting Luo Xing.

Luo Xing smiled slightly.

To kill someone, first drive them mad.

I'll let you be happy for a few more days, Kurozumi Orochi.

After the banquet.

Orochi ordered his men to prepare accommodations for Luo Xing, Queen, and the others, and at the same time instructed them to invite well-known figures from the six regions of Kuri, Nozomi, Udon, Suzuko, and Hakumai.

This "please" should of course be put in quotation marks.

Although Orochi has been in the position of shogun for more than ten years, he is still extremely unpopular in Wano Country.

If it weren't for Kaido being his powerful backer, he might have been ousted by the people of Wano Country long ago.

Orochi also ordered that an image Den Den Mushi be placed in every village in Wano Country.

Two days later, all the people of Wano Country will be able to watch the spectacle of his subordinates eating monster cells through a video Den Den Mushi!

The giant snake was so excited by the thought of that scene that it couldn't sleep all night.

Kurozumi Orochi wasn't the only one having trouble sleeping; two other people were too.

In the dimly lit, secret room.

The courtesan Xiao Zi, who was gentle and weak during the day, now had a resolute expression.

Opposite her was Denjiro, who had transformed into Kyoshiro.

Xiao Zi said worriedly:

"Denjiro, you heard it during the day, didn't you? That Beast Prince Consort brought a hundred monster cells. If Orochi's subordinates really eat them, then our day of revenge will be even more distant!"

Denjiro's face was also filled with worry as he sighed:

"This is my responsibility. I originally intended to sow discord between Kaido and Orochi, making them turn against each other. I never expected that Kaido would actually agree to Orochi's request!"

to be frank,

Denjiro really couldn't understand why the person he sent to find Kaido was acting so condescendingly and authoritatively.

Given Kaido's temper, how could he not be angry at all, and obediently offer up a hundred monster cells?

Xiao Zi comforted her:

"You discussed this with me back then, so we both share responsibility. The key now is, how do we stop the giant serpent and that beast prince?"

Denjiro thought for a moment, then slowly said, "There is only one way!"

"what?"

"That's stealing, stealing the monster cells!"

“Steal the monster cells…” Xiao Zi murmured, this was indeed the only solution.

"But how do we steal it?"

Denjiro stared intently at Komurasaki: "Then I'll have to trouble Hiyori-san."

Komurasaki immediately understood what Denjiro meant.

The idea was to have her use her beauty to seduce that beast prince, and then seize the opportunity to steal the monster's cells.

Xiao Zi bit her lower lip.

Honestly, she didn't want to go, and was even a little afraid to see that beast-wielding prince consort.

Because of that one glance from him during the day, she still feels lingering fear to this day.

but,

Thinking of the blood feud of her parents and the tragic plight of the people of Wano Country, what do her personal emotions matter?

“Okay, I’ll go!” Xiao Zi said firmly.

……

……

Looking at the luxurious decor of the room, Luo Xing's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Kurozumi Orochi probably gave him the best room in the general's mansion to curry favor with him.

"Great serpent, great serpent, to repay your kindness, I will use your head to thank you in two days."

Luo Xing thought to himself with a sense of leisurely contentment.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched, and he sensed with his Observation Haki that someone was heading towards his room.

"Hiyori Kozuki, what does she want from me?"

Luo Xing was quite surprised, and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.
