Zhou Huai looked at the unconscious Natsume Rinku.

At this moment, she was covered in wounds.

Every wound was continuously oozing blood, dyeing her thin clothes in a shocking manner.

Her small face was deathly pale, without a trace of color.

Her injuries were far simpler than just the surface; her internal organs were also withering under the collision of that violent energy.

She had more air going in than out.

If it were any ordinary person, without timely treatment, she probably wouldn't live for two minutes.

However, Zhou Huai felt that this little girl truly had a destiny that refused to let her die.

Because from this moment on, Zhou Huai actually saw a bright red long bar above the little girl's head.

HP bar.

The existence or absence of a health bar was the most fundamental difference between Classer and ordinary people.

Ordinary people did not have health bars.

This meant that Natsume Rinku not only successfully took back her own body, but instead inherited Ying Yinman's profession.

【HP: 41 / 312】

The initial HP was already over three hundred points.

This Ying Yinman's professional Level was definitely not low.

At the very least, it was an SS-Rank Professional.

From this perspective, Natsume Rinku could also be considered blessed by misfortune.

However, in this struggle, the biggest winner was actually Caesar.

Relying on absorbing the massive energy that dissipated when Ying Yinman went berserk.

Caesar's Level was forcibly pushed to Level 25.

In just one day, it made an SSS-Class Professional rise three Levels in a row.

Arriving at Level 25, Caesar's hatching speed of Soldier Beetle got a doubled enhancement.

From previously hatching one per second.

To hatching two per second.

From hatching 86,400 the previous day, it directly doubled from then on, reaching 172,800.

Plus the more than 30,000 hatched daily by 【Rock Spirit Broodmother】.

Caesar meant being able to possess nearly 200,000 Soldier Beetle in a single day.

This improvement was not just a little bit.

Zhou Huai controlled Caesar, took out a bottle of Advanced recovery potion specially supplied by the military from the storage space, pried open Natsume Rinku's mouth, and poured it down her throat.

The potion melted upon entering the mouth, turning into a warm torrent.

Natsume Rinku's health bar began to slowly rise, and the ferocious wounds on her body also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although she was a person of Sakura Country, Zhou Huai couldn't bear to kill her.

What's more, she was now the youngest SS-Rank Professional in the whole world.

If cultivated well, she might become a great assistant to himself in the future.

The medicinal effect took effect very quickly.

Before long, Natsume Rinku's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes, her vision still somewhat blurry.

When that face dyed with yellow hair and carrying a bit of ruffian aura came into view.

First she was stunned.

Then she struggled to get down from Caesar's arms, without the slightest hesitation, her knees softened, and she knelt on the ground.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Facing Caesar, she kowtowed three solid headbutts, her forehead colliding with the hard ground and making a muffled sound.

"Thank you... Big Brother for stepping in to save me!"

The girl's voice still carried a bit of weakness, yet it was exceptionally clear.

"From now on, Natsume Rinku is willing to be your servant."

"To serve by your side for a lifetime!"

Zhou Huai muttered inwardly.

This lass was truly too smart.

She knew how to assess the situation far too well.

At any time, she could clearly know whose thigh she should hug.

Her desire to survive was strong to the extreme.

In the look he cast at her, there was a bit more appreciation.

"Get up."

Zhou Huai controlled Caesar and said in a bland tone.

Natsume Rinku stood up as told, lowering her head, her hands nervously clutching the corner of her clothes, like a prisoner waiting for sentencing.

Zhou Huai's expression turned serious.

"You said you want to follow me."

"Even if I want to destroy the entire Sakura Country, are you still willing to follow me?"

Natsume Rinku didn't hesitate at all, nodding her small head.

"I am willing!"

Her answer was resolute and decisive.

This country, this land, had brought her only endless pain and despair.

She had no shred of nostalgia.

Zhou Huai grinned.

"In that case, you can hang out with me from now on."

Hearing these words, Natsume Rinku seemed to have the strength instantly drained from her whole body, her tense body suddenly relaxing.

Her face bloomed with a heartfelt smile.

Under the glow of the setting sun, it carried a unique cuteness.

Zhou Huai first took out his mobile phone, made a call to Nakamura Shinichiro, and asked him to rearrange a residence.

After all, the house here had been pretty much destroyed.

After finishing all this, he looked back at Natsume Rinku.

"Talk."

"You should have successfully changed your profession."

"What profession? What Level?"

Natsume Rinku didn't hide anything at all, respectfully answering:

"Reporting to Master, my profession is..."

She paused, seeming to digest the extra information in her mind.

"【Spirit Curse Master】."

"SS-Rank Professional."

Zhou Huai showed an expression of as expected.

It really was SS-Level.

Presumably that Great Qin Princess Ying Yinman, when alive, must have been an extremely powerful SS-Rank Professional.

As a result, she had bad luck and happened to meet him when wanting to reincarnate.

It could also be considered her bad luck.

Right at this moment, a low engine roaring sound came from afar to near.

A black extended limousine stopped at the alley entrance.

The car door opened, and Nakamura Shinichiro walked down quickly.

At a glance, he saw the tragic state of the courtyard, his footsteps didn't hesitate at all, and his face didn't even show a shred of surprise.

He just walked quickly in front of Zhou Huai and deeply bowed.

"Master."

The voice was respectful, the posture humble.

When his gaze inadvertently swept across the girl in Zhou Huai's arms, the expression on his face couldn't help but be stunned.

That mysterious girl who beat Miyamoto Takuma brutally in Kabukicho and was wanted by the whole city!

Nakamura Shinichiro had seen her wanted poster and also watched the combat video going crazy on the dark web.

It was said that she was only twelve years old, yet she was already a terrifyingly powerful Professional.

He never expected that this girl who stirred up the winds and clouds of the whole Takamagahara would actually appear alive in front of himself.

And judging by the look of it, she also seemed to have an unusual relationship with his own Master.

Countless thoughts flashed through Nakamura Shinichiro's mind, but he quickly suppressed all curiosity and shock.

The Master's matters were not something he should ask about.

Zhou Huai looked at him and directly commanded: "I need a new residence."

Nakamura Shinichiro immediately bowed, his tone carrying a trace of guilt.

"It was this subordinate's lack of consideration."

"Master, this subordinate indeed has a few vacant properties on hand, but most are in the city center, crowded and mixed with eyes, which probably won't meet your requirement for peace and quiet."

Zhou Huai didn't speak, waiting for his continuation.

Nakamura Shinichiro pondered for a moment and proposed a bold suggestion.

"If Master doesn't mind, why not live in the villa area of the Omiya Family."

"The security there is strict, outsiders find it extremely difficult to enter, and the environment is serene and quiet, absolutely without anyone disturbing."

"This subordinate also lives there on weekdays."

This proposal happened to suit Zhou Huai's intentions.

He carefully observed Zhou Huai's expression, lowering his voice even more.

"It's just... in order to cover eyes and ears, it might be necessary to wrong Master a little."

"You can disguise yourself as the servant I newly hired."

Nakamura Shinichiro immediately added, afraid of causing a misunderstanding.

"This subordinate has no intention of offending you at all! It's just that this way, your entering and leaving the villa area will have the most reasonable identity, and it will also be more convenient for you to act in the dark without arousing anyone's suspicion."

Zhou Huai glanced at him.

This Nakamura Shinichiro was actually even smarter than he thought.

He naturally wouldn't worry about the loyalty issue of a Demon Slave.

"Good idea."

Zhou Huai calmly spat out three words.

Nakamura Shinichiro visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face also became relaxed.

He immediately stepped forward, eagerly pulling open the car door for Zhou Huai.

"Master, please."
