Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1088 Beauty is a Curse

Kuroda returned to Losi City, filled with inner turmoil.

They ran all the way to the mansion of the Duan family's bank.

At this time, the Duan family had just calmed down, and all the family members and guards had returned to their residences, restoring order to their former lives.

Kuroda didn't go anywhere else; he went to Duan Jingqiu's office and stood under the window at the back of the room, listening to the sounds inside.

Duan Jingqiu remained seated behind his desk, no longer interested in looking at the account books on the table, simply sitting there blankly.

Mu Chuan left, and she felt empty and helpless.

In the past, the old housekeeper could discuss business matters with her, and Duan Long and Duan Hu could protect her safety.

Now, I want to rely on Mr. Kikawa, but I don't know where he is.

The head of the guards has already come and reported the results of the interrogation.

The middle-aged man, whose bones had been broken by Mu Chuan, remained tough despite the numerous broken bones in his body, withstanding various instruments of torture without uttering a sound.

Even the guards who were about to administer the punishment were too weak to move.

This is not human; I have never seen such a resilient creature.

There was no other way but to temporarily chain him up and lock him in a small, dark room.

Kuroda stood behind the house, only hearing Duan Jingqiu's breathing inside, and occasionally a sigh, but nothing more.

With no other option, he leaped onto the roof and circled the courtyard of the Duan's Bank.

Almost all the lights in the houses were turned off, and except for a few gas lamps outside the courtyard that emitted a dim yellow glow, the entire courtyard was plunged into darkness and silence.

Kuroda was frustrated, feeling that the matter still had to be addressed by the head of the Duan family.

Duan Jingqiu often stayed up late to handle business matters. Now it was past midnight, but he was not sleepy at all. The lamp on his desk flickered, and in the dim light, a dark figure stood in front of the desk.

Duan Jingqiu opened her mouth to shout, but saw two cold glints on the upper part of the dark figure staring at her fiercely, which frightened her into shutting her mouth.

The maids and servants were dozing outside, some even snoring softly.

The old housekeeper was quite old, and Duan Jingqiu had long since sent him to bed.

Aside from the guards who come to patrol on time, no one else has appeared.

The dark figure in front of me appeared silently and without warning, suddenly standing in front of the desk. It was definitely not an ordinary person.

Duan Jingqiu was in despair, guessing that this person was another one sent by his father to take his life.

The dark figure took two steps forward, came to the desk, and placed a portrait in front of Duan Jingqiu.

"Do you recognize this person?"

Duan Jingqiu's bright black eyes gleamed under the light, and she was able to see the shadowy figure clearly. She guessed that the person hadn't made any effort to hide it.

Before me stood a middle-aged man with a short beard, a round face, and an appearance that suggested he was in his forties or fifties. His features were unremarkable, just an ordinary-looking man.

Duan Jingqiu glanced down at the portrait and immediately knew that the face in the portrait looked very much like Mr. Mu Chuan.

She took a deep breath and raised her head.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged man said softly.

"Knowing you know him, don't lie, or... you'll die."

Duan Jingqiu paused, inexplicably believing his words to be true; if he didn't tell the truth, he would really die.

But she felt a strange sense of relief, since it wasn't someone her father had sent to kill her; it seemed to be Mr. Muchuan's enemies.

"Hmm...this looks a lot like Mr. Kikawa. He just left here tonight, and I wonder where he is now..."

Kuroda nodded: "Tell me about this Kikawa situation."

"I met Mr. Muchuan when I was kidnapped by bandits. He was said to be a doctor."

"Doctor?"

Kuroda Shi didn't see anything wrong from Duan Jingqiu's expression, which matched up with Song Chen's gang of bandits.

"Yes, Mr. Kikawa saved my life."

What agreement did you have between you?

Kuroda quickly grasped the key point.

Duan Jingqiu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Kikawa said he would protect my safety..."

Kuroda finally smiled, but he could sense nervousness and unease on the beautiful woman's face.

Clearly, this Muchuan was attracted by the beautiful woman and agreed to her request. He will most likely return to her side.

It must be said that the woman in front of him was indeed a beauty, and even Kuroda Shi, who had been training on the island for many years, was somewhat tempted.

Especially in such an environment, seeing a beautiful woman under the lamplight makes one feel as if she is a fairy descended to earth.

Kuroda immediately had an idea: he could use the beautiful woman in front of him to threaten Kikawa and force him to surrender, or take advantage of his distraction to eliminate him.

"Wasn't Kikawa in this room before?"

Duan Jingqiu turned his head and glanced into the inner room, then nodded slightly.

"Alright, I will wait here for his return. Keep quiet, or else..."

Duan Jingqiu nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Kuroda Shi suppressed the turmoil in his heart. As a cultivator, it was very dangerous to have other thoughts.

Single-mindedly cultivating the Tao, without any distractions, is the right path to achieving the Great Tao.

The beautiful woman before him, along with treasures and other external things, are potential sources of trouble that test him.

Of course, the treasures on Mu Chuan's body are invaluable to aid his cultivation, so they cannot be considered distractions.

Kuroda Shishi hid in the room where Kikawa was staying, sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and meditating.

For cultivators who have been cultivating on the island for many years, they have plenty of patience. Not to mention a few days, even a few months, they can remain calm and undisturbed.

Duan Jingqiu was also uneasy. She didn't know if Mu Chuan would come back, especially with Kuroda Shi, who seemed like a profound guy, in front of her.

She hoped that Mu Chuan would come back, but she was also worried about him coming back.

The mood is very complicated.

Kuroda Shi did not restrict Duan Jingqiu's freedom; as long as her activities remained within his control, she was fine.

Another day passed, and then night fell.

Kuroda finally realized that a cultivator was approaching.

Because Lin Feng used his true energy to fly over, Kuroda Shi could sense his presence.

Kuroda Shi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, finally became excited. Seeing the treasure beside him, he knew that if he could get his hands on it, he could take a big step forward in the sect.

It allows one to possess more resources, lead more disciples, and...

In short, there are too many benefits, so let's focus on getting the treasure first and then enjoy the good times later.

As Lin Feng approached the Duan's Bank, he slowed down and stood atop the bank's tall gatehouse, observing the surrounding area.

The broken sword had already warned him that there were cultivators here, and their strength was considerable.

Lin Feng did not leave because there was only one cultivator present, and no other dangers were detected.

Given Lin Feng's current state, he wouldn't be so easily frightened by a cultivator like him.

Instead, they need these cultivators who are detrimental to them to improve their own abilities and methods.

Since you want to kill me, Lin Feng, then I'm sorry, but you'll have to offer up your life essence and blood.

By now, Lin Feng no longer had any insurmountable obstacles in his mind.

The broken sword bounced around quite freely, with a hint of tension, but mostly excitement.

Because it also has nutrient absorption.
