Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The Takeuchi Family (Sixth Update)
Translator: 549690339
Country R, Tokyo.
Orochi Shrine.
Three Divine Officers opened their eyes simultaneously in confusion.
“Why can we suddenly not feel the presence of His Honor, the Orochi Divine God anymore?” Tsuruoka Masaki, one of the elderly Divine Officers, spoke with a sombre tone.
“We have served the Divine God for a long time. His divine power is immeasurable. His trip to Huaxia to fight General Lin should have been without issue!” another Divine Officer, Furuya Kazuma, said.
“That’s right, His Honor’s power is overwhelming. There must be some temporary issue. All we can do now is wait here for His Honor’s return so he can transform us into the Immortal Demon Body!” Nakata Yuuichi spoke with excitement and greed.
All three nodded in agreement, filled with longing for eternal life.
“Oh, and the Takeuchi family just called, hoping that we would attend the engagement banquet for their other daughter tomorrow!” Furuya Kazuma added.
“Then let’s go, if only out of respect for the perfect tribute that the Takeuchi family offered to Demon God His Highness!” Tsuruoka Masaki declared gravely.
Meanwhile, Xue An was already standing outside a residence in Tokyo.
“My lord, this is the residence where my mother and I live alone! Please come with me.” Takeuchi Kiyoko said respectfully.
As they walked into the residence, although not lavishly adorned, everything inside was quite elegant.
The whole courtyard exuded a natural beauty.
Takeuchi Kiyoko showed a hint of pride on her face. “This courtyard was arranged by my mother and me!”
Xue An smiled; he was unimpressed by such refined but minor beauty.
Hearing movement in the courtyard, a refined-looking woman with graying hair pushed open the door.
Upon seeing the lady, Takeuchi Kiyoko bowed her head and choked up, “Mother!”
The woman was taken aback, then incredulously asked, “Is it really Kiyoko?”
“Mother, it’s me, I’ve returned!” Takeuchi Kiyoko took a few steps forward.
The woman hugged Takeuchi Kiyoko tightly, bursting into tears.
After crying for a while, the woman dried her tears and gave Xue An and the others an apologetic smile.
“I’m terribly sorry, I was a bit overwhelmed. And this gentleman is…?”
Takeuchi Kiyoko respectfully explained, “Mother, this is Mr. Xue An, a powerful figure from Huaxia!”
Hearing the word ‘Huaxia,’ a glimmer of light passed through the woman’s eyes, and then she respectfully bowed her head, “Mr. Xue, hello, my name is Song Anzhen. Thank you for taking care of Kiyoko!”
Xue An nodded slightly at the woman of refined appearance.
Afterward, Song Anzhen invited Xue An and the others into the house.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian looked around the house curiously; it was their first time abroad, and everything felt novel to them.
Song Anzhen looked at the two young girls with maternal affection and said enviously, “Mr. Xue is so fortunate to have two such beautiful daughters!”
Then, turning to Kiyoko with a serious expression, Song Anzhen asked, “Kiyoko, what exactly happened?”
Takeuchi Kiyoko summarized the events that had transpired, and upon hearing them, Song Anzhen’s eyes filled with tears.
“Kiyoko, it’s all my fault for holding you back!”
Takeuchi Kiyoko shook her head resolutely, “Mother, you have always been too kind, and as a result, they’ve taken advantage of you. Now that I’m back, it’s only natural that I repay those debts!”
Regret flashed across Song Anzhen’s face.
“Kiyoko, tomorrow is your sister Takeuchi Genji’s engagement banquet with the young master of the Inoue Family. It’s too late now that you’re back!”
Upon hearing this, a vicious look flickered in Takeuchi Kiyoko’s eyes.
“So soon after I left, Takeuchi Genji couldn’t wait to marry Inoue Yuu?”
Song Anzhen sighed and shook her head, “Partly for that reason, and partly because Inoue Yuu actively pursued Genji.”
After hearing this, Takeuchi Kiyoko turned pale.
“How could this happen…”
Then, with determination, she turned to Xue An and bowed, “My lord, tomorrow’s banquet is an important event for my family, with many key figures attending. It would be the perfect opportunity for you to go!”
At this moment.
Inside the Takeuchi family mansion, the servants were busily preparing for tomorrow’s engagement banquet.
Takeuchi Genji was trying on her dress for the next day.
Looking at the ravishing beauty in the mirror, Takeuchi Genji smiled proudly.
By now, that fool Kiyoko must be scared out of her wits!
After all, no one who has been offered as a sacrifice to the Demon God has ever survived.
If it weren’t for my little trick at the last minute, I probably would have been the one offered up.
At that moment, a tall and handsome man leaned against the door frame and said indifferently, “Genji, Father is calling for you!”
The man who spoke was the young master of the Takeuchi family, Takeuchi Masao.
Genji nodded, picked up her skirt, and walked to the back.
“Father, did you call me for something?”
The Family Head of the Takeuchi clan, Takeuchi Masao looked at his daughter and smiled faintly, “Tomorrow, three Divine Officers from the Orochi Shrine will be at the event, so you need to be prepared!”
Takeuchi Genji was startled, “Then Kiyoko…
“She has gone to Huaxia now and won’t be back for a while, and she is no longer Kiyoko! She is now the esteemed Demon God of the Orochi Shrine!” Takeuchi Masao said flatly.
Takeuchi Genji was relieved and nodded, “Yes, Father!”
The next day.
The Takeuchi family was a leading underworld family in the Tokyo area, and now the eldest daughter of the Takeuchi family was holding an engagement party, to which the prospective groom was the young master from the influential Inoue Family of the business world.
The event was naturally very impressive.
Since the morning, a multitude of vehicles had begun to fill the streets outside the villas in the wealthy district where the Takeuchi family lived.
Many men dressed in black suits with exquisite badges pinned to them stood around in groups, responsible for vigilance.
By noon.
Conglomerates from all sides gathered together.
The hall was buzzing with lively voices at its peak.
Takeuchi Genji and Inoue Yuu exchanged engagement rings, and the crowd below began to applaud to offer their congratulations.
The three Divine Officers from the Orochi Shrine stepped forward to bless the couple.
Ironically, although Orochi is a Demon God, they were now bestowing blessings upon the couple.
Just at that moment, Xue An and Kiyoko Takeuchi arrived outside the venue.
Their appearance did not attract the attention of the security personnel on the perimeter.
It was only after Kiyoko Takeuchi entered the inner residence.
That the servants noticed her and shouted in horror, “Miss…Miss Kiyoko?”
Kiyoko Takeuchi remained silent and cold.
Xue An leisurely followed behind her, holding two daughters in his arms, discussing what to eat later.
Boom.
Kiyoko Takeuchi kicked open the door to the hall and walked in with her head held high.
Her entrance quieted the room immediately.
Takeuchi Genji turned her head, and her complexion paled.
Many others recognized Kiyoko Takeuchi and started to whisper among themselves.
“Isn’t that Kiyoko? Wasn’t she sent to the shrine?”
Kiyoko Takeuchi’s expression was indifferent as she coldly eyed Takeuchi Genji and Inoue Yuu.
“Are you surprised to see me return so soon?”
Takeuchi Genji clenched her teeth and scoffed, “Kiyoko, you actually regained consciousness? That is indeed surprising. But do you think you can act presumptuously here with three Divine Officers present?”
The three Divine Officers from the Orochi Shrine were also taken aback, then all their expressions changed dramatically.
They could not detect any trace of the Demon God’s aura from Kiyoko Takeuchi.
“What’s going on here?” Tsuruoka Masaki, a Divine Officer from the Orochi Shrine, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that your esteemed Demon God has been killed by me!” Along with a calm utterance, Xue An walked into the venue.
