Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

Ai Xiu answered Lin Zhiyu's question helplessly, and then took the opportunity to show her sword to others, saying to Lin Zhiyu, "This table of breakfast will get cold if you don't eat it now, husband, please eat it quickly~"

On Lin Zhiyu's left was Aixiu, and on her right was Jin Meiting. Hearing Aixiu call Lin Zhiyu "husband," Jin Meiting's expression changed slightly. She first glared at Lin Zhiyu, who subconsciously turned to look at her expression, and then turned to look at Busujima Saeko, who was sitting on her other side. Her eyes were wide open, as if they could speak. At this moment, she was clearly saying to Busujima Saeko with her eyes:

"Saeko, we were the first two to arrive! That bratty bastard called Lin Zhiyu 'husband'! Can you tolerate that?"

Busujima Saeko and Kim Mi-cho only looked at each other for less than three seconds.

Before Lin Zhiyu started eating as Aixiu had instructed, Busujima Saeko stood up, picked up a fried dumpling from the table with her chopsticks and put it into Lin Zhiyu's bowl, smiling and saying to her:

"Eat quickly, dear. Look, it's because you haven't moved your chopsticks that Sister Jin and the other sisters haven't dared to eat. Everyone is very polite~"

Looking at Saeko putting the fried dumplings into her bowl and smiling at her softly, Lin Zhiyu blinked in surprise.

He is not like the classic dull-witted male protagonists in some Japanese comics. On the contrary, in the current situation, his brain works extremely fast!

It is obvious that Saeko is competing against Aixiu this time. She looks down on "slaves" like Li Meifeng and thinks they are all stinky sisters, but she also does not forget to use "Sister Jin" to win over Jin Meiting to fight in an alliance!

There was a lot of thought in this short sentence. It was the first time that Lin Zhiyu saw Saeko behave like this.

And just when Lin Zhiyu was surprised.

Jin Meiting, who was standing next to him, also picked up a fried dumpling from Lin Zhiyu's bowl, and then touched Lin Zhiyu's shoulder and said:

"Saeko is right, dear. If you don't pick up your chopsticks, then neither will the other sisters here. We can't just stare at each other with empty stomachs, can we?"

Sitting on the other side of Lin Zhiyu, seeing Dokujima Saeko and Jin Meiting fighting in pairs, Ai Xiu chuckled, raised his hand and patted Lin Zhiyu's shoulder, scolding him:

"That's right, Miss Jin and Miss Dudao are absolutely right! If you, the male host, don't pick up your chopsticks, how can the other sisters, who are guests of Hongtianlou, have the nerve to start eating without your permission? But to be honest, as the female host, I was a little slow. Hongtianlou has not treated you well enough, and I hope you will not mind~"

Following Ai Xiu's seemingly grand speech.

On the other side of Lin Zhiyu, the expressions of the two women sitting next to each other suddenly changed slightly.

Busujima Saeko: (.-＿-.)

Jin Meiting: (╰_╯)#

Lin Zhiyu, who was caught in the middle, felt the air become much colder, and subconsciously looked at the three "maids" who had not yet been officially involved in the battle.

At this time, Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko were looking at Lin Zhiyu with a look of anticipation, some ridicule and satisfaction.

Li Meifeng pretended to be stupid and avoided Lin Zhiyu's gaze, thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers.

"Damn! None of them are reliable!"

Lin Zhiyu frowned slightly, feeling that in this situation, he had to introduce external forces to disrupt the situation, so he stood up suddenly.

"I called everyone together during breakfast because I have something important to discuss. Aniloz and Meiqike have to come too. If you can't get them, Aixiu, I'll go get them myself!"

With a serious expression on his face, Lin Zhiyu pulled out the chair as soon as he finished speaking and walked out of the room.

What surprised Lin Zhiyu was that no one stopped her.

"Are they planning to wait until I'm gone before starting a full-scale fight?"

"Forget it, forget it. If they want to fight, then let them fight. Just don't put me in the middle and make things difficult for them!"

"Damn, I was too careless this time. I didn't think ahead and gathered them all together. What should I do if they don't get along..."

So quietly thinking.

Soon, Lin Zhiyu took the elevator to the floor where Anne Lloyds' room was.

Chapter 62: Rinko's Self-Examination

Arrived outside Aniloz's room.

Lin Zhiyu did not rush to knock on the door, but stood outside the door and waited for a while, thinking of going back as late as possible, so that when he returned, Aixiu and the others might have already finished the battle.

Since this was in Hongtian Tower and it wasn't an infiltration, Lin Zhiyu stood outside Anneloz's room without deliberately keeping quiet.

This made Aniloz and Meiqike in the room mistakenly think that there was an enemy outside. Otherwise, why would they stay outside the door? This was really suspicious!

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

Time passes slowly.

In the end, the people in the room couldn't hold it anymore and suddenly broke out.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of the door being slammed open by a huge force.

A black shadow appeared in Lin Zhiyu's sight, waving a katana that shone with cold light, and slashed towards Lin Zhiyu's head.

Lin Zhiyu reacted quickly and immediately stepped back to dodge.

Anneloz, who was holding Vajra Yaksha in her hand, also discovered that the person outside the room was Lin Zhiyu, so she withdrew her move and stopped.

"Ms. Aniloz! Let me help you!"

Suddenly, Meiqike rushed out of the room again. She stood in front of Aniloz with an axe in her hand, looking very aggressive.

But after discovering that the person confronting Aniloz was Lin Zhiyu, the demon maid was stunned.

Anneloz, who was blocked by Meiqike, then pushed Meiqike away and reappeared in Lin Zhiyu's sight.

She frowned slightly, put the Vajra Yaksha back into the sheath, and asked Lin Zhiyu why he stopped outside her room in a sneaky manner?

Looking at Anneroze, who had returned to her youthful appearance and a cool temperament, Lin Zhiyu blinked and asked irrelevantly, "When will you return to normal?"

"Almost twenty minutes ago. You arrived just in time."

Anneloz crossed her arms and answered Lin Zhiyu's question, then reminded Lin Zhiyu, "But you haven't answered my question yet."

"Uh……"

Lin Zhiyu thought for a moment, then said to Aniloz, "I came here to ask you to join us for breakfast. We can also gather together to discuss some matters concerning Taimanin and Barud Barnett. But since I know you don't want to go out until you're back to normal, I stopped outside the room to think about how to convince you to come out..."

Anneloz raised her head slightly, squinted at Lin Zhiyu, and said in a deep voice:

"Is it necessary for you to hesitate outside the room for seven or eight minutes just for this?"

Following Aniloz's words, Maggie shouted from the side:

"You despicable human, are you considering breaking in and doing something bad while Miss Aniloz hasn't recovered yet?"

Lin Zhiyu looked at Meiqike coldly and said bluntly:

"Come on, if I tried to take advantage of someone's misfortune, Aniloz would have been eaten to the bone."

Although Lin Zhiyu's words were a bit harsh, Aniloz understood the reasoning. So she glared at Meiqike, signaling her to stop yelling. Then, looking back at Lin Zhiyu, she said frankly that she had returned to normal and would no longer confine herself to her room.

So Lin Zhiyu waved to Aniloz, "Okay, let's go!"

Anneloz nodded slightly, then took Meiqike and followed Lin Zhiyu.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the room where Aixiu and the others were.

At this time, every woman in the room was eating breakfast normally with chopsticks, as if nothing unpleasant had happened during the time when Lin Zhiyu was away.

Although Lin Zhiyu was curious about this, he would not ask too much at this time.

After inviting Anneloz and Meiqike to sit down, Lin Zhiyu did not return to the seat between Jin Meiting and Aixiu. Instead, he picked up a steamed bun from the table and planned to walk slowly around the big round table, eating the steamed bun while talking about business.

But Lin Zhiyu had just picked up a steamed bun from the table.

"Snapped!"

Anneloz, who was already sitting on the dining chair, suddenly slammed her Vajra Yaksha with its sheath on the table.

Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but look at Aniloz.

At this time, Aniloz stared at Uehara Rin, who had stopped eating and had a serious expression on her face.

"Ahem! This person has signed a slavery contract with me and has received a lot of punishment. Annie, please give me some face and don't do it." Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Zhiyu hurriedly walked to the seat where Uehara Rin was sitting, put a hand on Uehara Rin's shoulder, and explained to Annie Loz with a smile.

Anneloz narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Zhiyu and Uehara Rin for a moment before turning her head away and snorting. She knew that Lin Zhiyu's punishment for Uehara Rin was nothing more than some obscene act of sex. After all, she had seen the scene before, where Lin Zhiyu, Aixiu, Akiyama Rinko, and Uehara Rin were stacking like a train.

Similarly, Rin Uehara also knew what Lin Zhiyu meant by "punishment".

She wanted to turn around and question or even criticize Lin Zhiyu, but then she thought, what's the point?

After all, she is now Lin Zhiyu's slave. Even if Lin Zhiyu does not abuse her in various ways by taking advantage of the binding force of the contract, she is still in an extremely weak position and has no way to deal with Lin Zhiyu.

Besides, what Lin Zhiyu said just now was to protect her...

Thinking of this, Uehara Rin let out a breath through her nose helplessly. In the end, she did not make any big reaction. She just raised her hand and gently removed the hand that Lin Zhiyu had placed on her shoulder.

Afterwards, Lin Zhiyu ate a steamed bun and paced around the room, talking about joining forces with the Taimanin to deal with Barood Barnett. He said frankly that a very powerful Taimanin would come to Hongtianlou to visit and discuss specific matters.

"A very powerful Taimanin? How powerful?"

After the rain, the sky cleared up and Anneloz returned to normal. She felt that she was able to do it again. There was a belligerent light in her yellow-brown eyes. She stared at Uehara Rin while speaking, as if she was wondering, can the strength of the Taimanin that Lin Zhiyu mentioned reach Uehara Rin's level?

Lin Zhiyu still didn't know who was the leader of the reinforcements that Fuma Kotaro asked for from Goche Academy.

But even Uehara Rin couldn't handle it.

On the Goche Academy side, there are only two or three heavyweight Taimanin who can be sent out who are stronger than Uehara Rin.

For example, Jinghe Asaji, who is currently serving as the principal of Wuche Academy!

Or, the one with more seniority than Asaki, who can be regarded as the senior among the seniors in Taimanin - Mizuki Shiranui!

Lin Zhiyu felt that the range of her guess should not be wrong, but she was not sure who it was. However, her intuition told her that it was more likely to be Mizuki Shiranui. After all, Mizuki Shiranui's daughter, Mizuki Yukikaze, was in his hands now.

"Even if both Asha and Shiranui come, with hostages in hand, we will always be the one holding the initiative."

Lin Zhiyu thought so in his heart, but in order to prevent everyone from underestimating the enemy, Lin Zhiyu still exaggerated his words and told Aniloz that the Taimanin who would visit Hongtianlou today was ten times or even dozens of times stronger than Uehara Rin!

After hearing what Lin Zhiyu said, Uehara Rin curled her lips and almost complained to Lin Zhiyu: Who the hell are you COSing as Xun Yu here?

Anneluoz rolled her eyes at Lin Zhiyu and said loudly:

"If the person coming here is really that powerful, then I think you'd better run! Given the absolute disparity in strength, even if you have a hostage, I'm afraid the opponent will be able to easily rescue the hostage with speeds you can't react to and various methods you can't deal with."

Being harshly criticized by Aniloz, Lin Zhiyu coughed awkwardly while holding a flower roll in her mouth. Then, pretending not to hear what Aniloz said, she emphasized:

"In short, everyone better buckle up! Don't let your guard down! Although we're going to discuss a joint operation with the Taimanin next, until the dust settles, I can't guarantee that the Taimanin who are about to arrive will definitely be our friends, not our enemies."

Having said that, Lin Zhiyu had just finished eating the steamed bun and walked behind the seats where Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko were sitting.

So Jin Meiting glared at Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko, the two vixen that Lin Zhiyu had just recruited, and asked Lin Zhiyu if he wasn't afraid that some people would join forces with the Taimanin that was about to arrive outside?

Lin Zhiyu stood behind Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko, looking at the back of their heads, and said leisurely:

"Even if some people aren't afraid of having their souls instantly destroyed by the power of the contract, I don't think they'd want to drag their companions down with them if everyone could have survived."

After saying that, Lin Zhiyu walked between Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko, put his hands on the shoulders of the two girls, and said to them in a gentle voice that they would need their help to talk about the matter of joining forces to deal with Barood Barnett, and try to promote friendly cooperation between the two sides.

Rinko Akiyama felt that Lin Zhiyu wanted her to be the demon traitor in the Taimanin, so she planned to slap Lin Zhiyu's hand away and say something to him.

But before Akiyama Rinko spoke, Uehara Rin spoke first to Lin Zhiyu and said, as long as you don't play tricks, use us Taimanin who have fallen into your hands as threats, and use it to set a trap and try to capture the companions who came to rescue us... then Rinko and I will naturally cooperate with you.

Rinko Akiyama didn't expect that Rin Uehara would actually speak to Lin Zhiyu in such a nice way. She was stunned for a moment, and then she realized how frivolous and impetuous her original thoughts were.

Yes, Lin Zhiyu could have used these fallen Taimanin as bait to set a trap for the reinforcements sent by the academy.

But Lin Zhiyu didn't do that... At least on the surface, Lin Zhiyu's attitude now seems very kind, and he has been emphasizing that he wants to cooperate with them.

Isn’t this situation good enough?

"If my recklessness causes Lin Zhiyu to become angry and decide to fight the Demon Ninja to the end, then not only will I be in trouble, but the reinforcements sent by the academy will also be in trouble for no reason!"

Thinking of this, Rinko Akiyama felt that a teacher is indeed a teacher. Compared with her, it is obvious that Mr. Uehara is more mature and more considerate in his handling of things.

She also began to remind herself in her heart that if she didn't say anything, she would be like a slave and let Lin Zhiyu order her around! At least in terms of attitude, she really had to pay more attention and know when to lower her posture...

Chapter 63 Yamcha: My second brother is invincible!

Lin Zhiyu was not surprised to find that both Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko were relatively calm and did not contradict him.

Although at the beginning, these two Taimanin always showed their resentment towards him on their faces.

Now I guess he has only restrained himself a little on the surface...

But things are getting better after all!

If Uehara Rin and Akiyama Rinko had been completely submissive to Hayashi No Yu from the start, that would have been illogical! After all, given their personalities, it's only natural that they wouldn't easily succumb to tyranny. Their attitudes have improved somewhat now, perhaps because they've at least begun to consider the overall situation.
