A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Yoshiwara Flower Street, Yanyanlou.

The captivating He Yitaifu was followed by two exquisitely handsome bald men, and the three of them walked together toward the last Japanese-style room at the end of the corridor.

Unlike other courtesans, she only wore clothes that exposed her neck.

Yan Yanlou's He Yi Taifu, with his unrestrained style of dress, would make even other prostitutes blush.

Her clearly defined collarbones, her exposed shoulders, her deep and alluring cleavage, coupled with her languid gaze, and the venomous snakes embroidered on her kimono, roaming among peonies and skulls.

All of this combined means that for everyone who sees He Yi, only four words come to mind—fatal allure.

"Alright, give me the food, you can just wait outside."

He Yi turned her head to the side, revealing her delicate jawline, and gave a charming smile to the two bald men behind her who only reached her waist.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The two bald men bowed in unison, then handed a small basket to He Yi, bowed again, and began to back away.

Nodding, He Yi pushed open the paper sliding door to the side and stepped into the room. The moment she did, her languid and dreamy expression changed instantly, and her eyes softened.

"Su Yi, it's time to eat. This time we have tuna sashimi, eel sushi, and..."

He Yi smiled at a boy who was leaning against the window sill, his hands resting on his arched legs. The boy's skin and hair were as white as snow, and he had a textured, layered hairstyle. He was looking out the window with his amber eyes.

Hearing the sound of the food box being opened, Su Yi let He Yi busy herself, her eyes not moving, her lips slightly parted:

"Didn't I say I wouldn't eat human food anymore..."

Upon hearing this, He Yi's hand, which was reaching for the food box, suddenly stopped, and his facial expression also froze.

But the next second, she regained her gentle smile and continued to take out all the ingredients and place them neatly on the small table.

Seeing Su Yi still gazing into the distance, He Yi walked to his side, knelt down beside him, raised his arm, and gently placed it on Su Yi's shoulder.

"How can you not eat? My sister went to great lengths to prepare this..."

Snapped!

"what!"

Her delicate voice revealed He Yi's pain. She was seen clutching her bruised wrist, her head down, and her lips tightly pressed together.

Su Yi turned her head, her brows furrowed, and stared at He Yi with extreme disgust, saying:

"Get your dirty hands off!"

After he said that, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze.

Tsk~

Seeing that He Yi did not refute her and still kept her head down, Su Yi turned her head back again and continued to look out the window at the bright full moon.

"I am indeed a bit hungry, I should go find something to fill my stomach."

After a period of silence, Su Yi suddenly stood up, twisted her neck, and made a cracking sound.

"No!" He Yi immediately raised her head and continued urgently, "Because of your initiative, the number of missing persons in Yoshiwara has suddenly increased a lot recently, which has already attracted the attention of the authorities. You are in danger of being exposed!"

"Suyi, don't rush, okay? Let your older sister handle it."

"I know many nobles; they can help me find people... to feed you!"

“As long as I use this method, even if the authorities investigate, those guests will help me cover for them, so that no one will discover your existence.”

Seeing that Su Yi hadn't jumped out of the window after her persuasion, He Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heh, how laughable! What can the yamen do? I can kill as many as they come!" Su Yi looked down at her sister with a disdainful expression and continued:

"Cover you up? Once they're done with you, who'll cover for you? Hmm? Tell me?"

He Yi's pupils contracted instantly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and even breathing became difficult.

Seeing her expression, Su Yi shook her head, walked over, leaned down, and said in a somber tone:

"Besides, how long will it take you to bring in another person? Do you think Lady Daki and Lady Gyu can wait?"

"I......"

He Yi opened his mouth, his face showing bitterness, but he couldn't refute it.

At the same time, just thinking about the two adults mentioned in Su Yi's words sent a chill down his spine, covering his entire body.

"Suyi, can't we escape? You're so strong, you can easily lead me out of Yoshiwara. Those gang leaders and henchmen can't stop you at all. What will we do in the future..."

Before He Yi could finish speaking, Su Yi swiftly grabbed her by the neck, her face contorted with rage, and said:

"Idiot, what are you talking about?"

"If it weren't for these two lords, would I have survived until now? Would I have such great power?"

"Do you think you can pay for my medical treatment with the little money you earn by using your body to please men?"

Letting Su Yi choke her, He Yi slowly raised her hand and placed it on her younger brother's arm, which was as cold as a corpse, her eyes filled with sorrow:

"I'm sorry, it's because I'm incompetent that you've become like this."

"Get lost." Su Yi shoved He Yi to the ground, clenched her fists, and grinned maliciously.

"I love how I am now. I'm incredibly powerful, like a god. I can kill whoever I want, hahaha!"

He Yi collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the ground, unable to utter a single word.

When they were children, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, their village suffered a complete crop failure, and their parents starved to death.

Therefore, she had to wander with her younger brother, experiencing various difficulties along the way. By chance, they eventually arrived in Edo.

By sheer coincidence, the two were captured by a group of Yakuza and sold to Yoshiwara.

Because of her beauty, He Yi was quickly chosen by the madam and became a courtesan, while Su Yi became a courtesan responsible for attracting customers.

Regardless, at least their livelihood was secured, and He Yi and Su Yi no longer had to go hungry.

However, the good days didn't last long. He Yi suddenly discovered that her younger brother had contracted a strange disease.

His whole body turned pale, even his hair changed color, he started getting sick frequently, and eventually he contracted tuberculosis.

Even though she had grown up and become a new Zhenxiu (a high-ranking official) thanks to her beauty, the money she earned was still not enough to pay for Suyi's medical treatment.

Just as Su Yi was about to die, and He Yi was lying beside him crying in despair, a man with large black spots on his face, emaciated and holding a sickle in both hands appeared and told her the way for Su Yi to survive: to become a ghost!

The price to pay is that Su Yi will have to provide this person with food, which means humans.

pat.

He Yi's memories were interrupted by the sound. She looked up and found that Su Yi was already crouching on the edge of the window, about to jump out of the window.

"Suyi, you can't keep arresting people like this! Trust your sister, okay? Let me handle this..."

"Huh? You believe me? Then tell me, when are you going to catch them?"

"I......"

dong dong dong.

Just as He Yi hesitated, unsure how to respond, a knock came from behind her on the door.

"Kureita, there are two samurai downstairs who specifically request to see you!"

The madam's excited voice and the sounds from the various paper sliding doors drifted into the room.

"Look, Suyi, isn't there a way? Those who want to see me know my rules. Don't worry, I can get people for you right away to provide for you... to feed you."

Before Su Yi could speak, He Yi immediately stood up and straightened her clothes.

Then that languid and charming face reappeared on her face.

In the corridor, He Yi asked the madam in a nonchalant tone:

"What's the name of the samurai who's looking for me? Which noble family do you belong to?"

“Uh…they’re not nobles.” The madam finished speaking, then, seeing He Yi suddenly stop and glare at her angrily, she was immediately startled and quickly said:

"There was a samurai named Yamada Asaemon Taichi. He was the official executioner and a samurai of the Yamada family. He was extremely wealthy!"

After hearing the madam's explanation, He Yi's expression improved, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips:

"Yamada Asaemon Taichi? The imperial executioner? Ha, just a fat sheep."
