Different individuals necessitate distinct approaches. While assuming the persona of a beast might seem straightforward, the true terror lies in the gradual transformation into one through prolonged mimicry.
It is an undeniable truth that people are sculpted by their surroundings, which possess the subtle power to reshape them over time.
While the medical community has yet to confirm Fujiwara Reiki’s purported schizophrenia, it is abundantly clear that Shi Qianxi is far from mentally sound, exhibiting traits that are, at the very least, somewhat ‘pathological’.
Therefore.
Despite being aware of her sensitive vulnerability, Jiang Chen has consistently maintained a cautious demeanor around her, apprehensive that prolonged exposure might eventually influence him as well.
Today, however, he found himself with no alternative.
The other party’s actions had simply become too extreme.
Had the roles been reversed, with him being a woman and Shi Qianxi a man, her conduct could easily be characterized as reaping benefits without appreciation, or more harshly, as sheer brazenness.
Before departing, Director Shi meticulously brushed his teeth. Upon exiting, he had fully reverted to his usual noble and dignified bearing, leaving no hint of his prior behavior.
Indeed.
If one is to offer themselves, surely there must be a price attached?
Where in this world can one find a venture that yields high returns with absolutely no cost?
Following Shi Qianxi’s departure, Jiang Chen remained seated alone on the sofa, legs crossed, enveloped in a large robe—or more accurately, a bathrobe.
While it did not physically exhaust him like certain strenuous activities, the internal toll was undeniably significant.
Hmm.
It must be acknowledged.
There was no longer any possibility of evasion.
The distinct crackling sound he had made while tearing through her clothes on that fateful night now resonated with undeniable clarity.
If the inexorable wheels of fate cannot be halted, then one must simply yield to their momentum.
After all.
Shi Qianxi is likely the solitary individual for whom an explanation to Li Shuru is entirely unnecessary.
After all, Shi Qianxi herself had affirmed that the ‘sisters’ had already reached an accord.
If he were to genuinely hold both within his embrace, would that not be the epitome of good fortune?
Verily.
He had, regrettably, been influenced.
Embracing a predatory nature can swiftly become an ingrained habit if one is not vigilant.
He immediately ceased the flow of these intrusive thoughts.
After allowing himself a period of appropriate recuperation, Jiang Chen sat upright, reached for his phone on the coffee table, and dialed Fujiwara Reiki’s number.
He harbored the conviction that had the other party not intervened, there would still have been avenues to negotiate his intricate dance with Shi Qianxi.
“Has Jiang Sang just awakened? It appears you enjoyed a rather restful night’s sleep,” a cheerful voice inquired.
“Why did you do that?”
He cut straight to the chase, bypassing any pleasantries.
“Rest assured, Jiang Sang, there are no adverse or toxic repercussions; it was merely to ensure Jiang Sang experienced a profound slumber.”
Her response was both audacious and direct, a confession offered without any attempt at denial.
However, this confession came somewhat belatedly, as the necessary examination had already been conducted.
Having one’s blood drawn without any apparent reason would naturally incite displeasure in anyone, and the needle’s prick did possess a discernible sting.
“Am I expected to express my gratitude?”
“Whatever are you referring to, Jiang Sang?”
Fujiwara Reiki’s voice, laced with an alluring lilt, sent a shiver down his spine.
“Provide me with a reason.”
Jiang Chen’s tone grew heavier, imbued with a deeper gravity.
“Is Jiang Sang attributing blame to Li Ji? If so, on what grounds does Jiang Sang find fault with Li Ji?”
She surprisingly retorted, posing a question back to him, her tone suggesting an air of aggrieved innocence.
“This is not the inaugural instance you have administered a substance to me.”
“Pfft.”
Amidst the palpable tension of the exchange, Fujiwara Reiki couldn’t suppress a seductive giggle upon hearing his statement.
“Does Jiang Sang truly harbor such a deep-seated resentment?”
It was not a matter of harboring grudges.
The first time, she had administered an aphrodisiac; the second, a sedative. What would the third instance entail?
The act of drugging, in itself, was hardly a commendable practice.
“Is it that ninja accompanying you? She has been by your side for numerous years, privy to a multitude of your secrets. Is it not perhaps time for her to be replaced?”
Following a brief pause, Fujiwara Reiki swiftly discerned the implication.
“Jiang Sang could not possibly be so heartless. Sakura has always been steadfastly loyal to Li Ji. This entire endeavor was conceived by Li Ji alone; Sakura bears no culpability whatsoever. Should Jiang Sang intend to impose any form of penalty, direct your ire solely towards Li Ji.”
“Do you presume I lack the courage to do so?”
Comrade Jiang Chen, exhibiting a truly formidable composure, possessed a heart of stone, showing no leniency even towards such a captivating beauty.
A poignant, almost heartbreaking laugh emanated from the phone, “Of course, Jiang Sang possesses the audacity. Li Ji has always been aware that, in Jiang Sang’s estimation, Li Ji is merely a tool, entirely expendable.”
“And are you not precisely the same? You are merely a stepping stone in my ascent. When you eventually break free, attaining complete dominion over your own destiny, who can definitively say what preparations you might have made for me could very well be the ultimate poison.”
Her words were spoken with a disarming sincerity.
“Is that truly how Jiang Sang perceives it?”
After a prolonged silence, Fujiwara Reiki’s voice, now faint, drifted through the receiver.
“Is that not the case?”
Jiang Chen’s response remained cold, or rather, maintained an unwavering level of absolute rationality.
“Heh. Li Ji admits that, in the initial stages, this was indeed the perception. Jiang Sang required Li Ji’s assistance, and Li Ji found purpose in assisting Jiang Sang. However, Li Ji had underestimated the profound depths of human emotion. Li Ji once held an unshakeable conviction that she would never fall for any man, viewing them all as vile, repulsive, unclean, and utterly nauseating. Yet, until the moment Li Ji encountered Jiang Sang, she detected an intriguing, refreshing aroma.”
Only Jiang Sang’s gaze upon Li Ji is perceived as clear and entirely pure, devoid of any impurities.
Regardless of the extent of her persuasion, Jiang Chen remained utterly unmoved.
He found himself believing.
This particular demoness harbored distinct feelings for him, different from how she viewed other men. While it's true that people are not like trees, her current state did not signify she had reached the elevated realm she so vividly described.
As previously stated.
There is, at this moment, no actual conflict of interest between them.
However, should a conflict arise, or if their paths were to diverge and stand in opposition, would she truly show leniency due to her supposed "feelings" for him?
Such a notion is pure fantasy.
The Black Widow will always remain the Black Widow.
She is known to consume her partners when it becomes strategically necessary.
Nevertheless.
For the present time, their interests remain aligned. Truths can be spoken, but the words used must not be excessively harsh.
“I am inquiring as to the reason you administered a drug to me once more.”
How is it that this question still sounds somewhat amusing?
“Last night, Li Ji had already provided a response; she simply did not wish for Jiang Sang to be intimate with another woman.”
Jiang Chen still found himself unable to comprehend the situation.
“Are you unwell? Why not directly poison me, ensuring I can never function as a man again?”
Although phrased crudely, the logic presented is sound.
At most, it would cause him to feel dizzy for a single night; what tangible outcome does that achieve?
It merely addresses the symptom, failing to resolve the underlying problem.
“Giggling…”
Rather than displaying upset, Fujiwara Reiki erupted into laughter. Her inherent aura as a temptress possessed the power to sway hearts, even across the vastness of radio waves.
“If Jiang Sang is incapable of being a man, would Li Ji not also suffer?”
“You have Wataru Tetsuya.”
“No.”
“Does Jiang Sang still refuse to place trust in Li Ji? Li Ji belongs solely to Jiang Sang, both in heart and body. No other individual is permitted to touch Li Ji. If Wataru Tetsuya fails to conduct himself appropriately, Li Ji will ensure he too is unable to function as a man. Giggling…”
What truly defines a demoness.
Jiang Chen found himself utterly unable to determine whether her words were mere “smooth-talking” or a genuine expression of sincerity.
“Remember, do not repeat this action.”
Jiang Chen imparted his instruction sternly.
Hmm.
Quite intimidating indeed.
“Do not forget, Jiang Sang, our next meeting is in three days. Li Ji will be awaiting your arrival.”
Jiang Chen proceeded to disconnect the call.
