A chilling light gleamed, and a murderous aura permeated the air.
This is a longsword with a classical Chinese style.
And it's not a decorative sword.
The cold, sharp blade had a blood groove in the center, indicating that this sword was meant for killing.
Two ancient characters are engraved on the spine of the sword:
"Qinggang?!"
Xia Ye was taken aback!
Isn't this the fictional sword that Cao Cao wore in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Later, it was taken by Zhao Zilong, who later became a master of both spear and sword, and his fame spread far and wide.
Could it be that this sword really exists in this world?
"Yes~"
Tomoko Suzuki introduced softly:
"During the war, Japan looted many cultural relics from China. Most of these relics are now housed in major Japanese museums, but many others ended up in the hands of private collectors. This Qinggang sword is one such example; the Suzuki family has quite a few."
"During wartime?"
Xia Ye's eyes glazed over for a moment.
Damn it, just hearing that word makes me uncomfortable!
If it weren't for the fact that everyone I like is in Tokyo.
Xia Ye really wished she could go to the United States and steal two little boys, so that Tokyo could experience what it felt like to be 6,000 degrees Celsius again!
but--
We cannot drop nuclear bombs.
That doesn't mean we can't retaliate!
Since Tomoko said that most of the stolen artifacts are in museums all over Japan, I'll play the role of a phantom thief for a bit—
In any case, whether we keep it for our own collection or return it to its rightful owner in China, it's better than the current situation!
That was the decision. Xia Ye kept it in mind and put it on her agenda.
"Cough cough!"
Unaware that her identity had already been exposed to Tomoko and the others, Xia Ye still managed to conceal it slightly, smiling as she said:
"I really like this sword!"
"but--"
"But what?"
The beautiful women present all sensed Xia Ye's sudden change in emotion.
However, everyone tacitly pretended not to see it, and decided to discuss the topic of the transmigrator's identity when Xia Ye wanted to bring it up.
"Of all those antiques, Pengzi, why did you only give me Cao Cao's sword?" Xia Ye asked with a half-smile. "Is there some special meaning behind it?"
"What do you say?"
"Pretending to be confused, huh?"
Pengzi gave him a charmingly disdainful look.
The onlookers chuckled to themselves.
Speaking of which——
Xia Ye was the one who told them the hidden meaning behind the term "Cao thief"; otherwise, as Japanese people, who would know that this term also represented a fondness for married women?
Chapter 398: How well jeans accentuate body curves!
Xia Ye accepted Cao Cao's sword.
Now that he has inherited the Prime Minister's will.
It would be perfectly reasonable to take his sword as well.
Put the sword into your inventory.
That concludes the gift-giving segment of this birthday party.
In short, Natsume loved every gift, whether it was a playful one from Sonoko, a thoughtful one from Kazuha, or a meaningful one like Tomoko's!
After all, this comes from everyone's good intentions!
After the barbecue party ended.
Everyone decided to do their own thing in the afternoon.
Karuizawa is located at the foot of Mount Asama in Nagano Prefecture.
The Suzuki family's villa estate is located deep in the forest.
Surrounded by vast larch and birch trees, the air is fresh and the environment is pleasant, making it a great place for forest bathing.
Xiao Lan and a few other restless young women went for a stroll in the forest together.
Embrace nature and breathe in some fresh air.
Meanwhile, Eri and Tomoko accompanied Natsume in the villa, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
Oh, right!
Yukiko said she was just eighteen years old this year, the same age as Ran and the others, so she dragged Vermouth along to hang out with the girls' group and the adult group.
Okay, with her looks, no one would doubt that she's eighteen, it's just that her figure is a bit too exaggerated—
But it's okay, just consider it as extraordinary development!
...
Xia Ye really liked this atmosphere.
Even though it's a birthday party for myself, everyone doesn't need to revolve around me all the time. As long as everyone has fun, that's fine!
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect way to relax!
Time passed slowly.
When Xia Ye woke up with her head resting on a very bouncy thigh, only Eri and Elena were left chatting on the sofa in the villa's living room.
The two of them spoke very softly.
It seemed they were afraid of waking Xia Ye.
It was Eri Kisaki who offered her thigh for Xia Ye to rest on. Feeling the smooth, rounded touch, Xia Ye rolled over and grinned mischievously.
"These jeans are a bit rough to use as a pillow, Eri. Next time, try some thin black silk; that will definitely be more comfortable."
"Pfft——!"
Elena, who was chatting with Eri Kisaki, couldn't help but chuckle.
Xia Ye is really shameless for getting a good deal and then acting innocent.
"hehe!"
Eri pinched his cheek and scolded him playfully:
"I'm already being generous by giving you a pillow, why are you asking for so much!"
"You weren't sleeping peacefully just now, I really wish I could tie your thieving hands to your side!"
"Oh?"
Xia Ye took her slender hand and played with it in her palm:
"How am I not being peaceful?"
"Bah~"
Eri Kisaki is not as shameless as him. She will describe the specifics of what he took advantage of her to him later.
And that would be falling into his trap!
"Get up quickly, my legs are numb!"
With one hand held by Natsume, Eri could only pat Natsume's chest with her other hand.
Actually, my legs aren't numb.
She just didn't want this guy to get too cocky!
"Then let me rub it for you~"
Xia Ye eagerly reached out and placed her hand on Fei Yingli's thigh.
It's hard to say who'll actually enjoy the massage on those plump, rounded thighs~
"I regret to decline."
Eri Kisaki didn't doubt Natsume's skills, but rather—
That jerk is infuriating! He clearly has proper massage techniques, and the results are amazing. He leaves you feeling refreshed after the massage!
However, he always insisted on using improper massage techniques!
Although it feels very comfortable after the massage, and even makes you feel like you've been reborn, the massage process always makes you feel both ashamed and ambiguous!
It's one thing if the two of them are alone together.
There are still many people in the villa.
I'd be so embarrassed if others heard that!
That's a real shame.
Despite expressing regret, Xia Ye did not withdraw her hand, which remained on Fei Yingli's thigh.
Eri Kisaki pretended not to see those wicked hands groping her legs.
Ultimately, everyone is used to this situation.
"Speaking of which-"
Xia Ye changed to a supine position, and suddenly it was as if the sun was blocked by clouds, and half of her vision was gone!
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, and he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes:
"Eri, look down at me~"
"Ok?"
Eri was confused.
Elena, who had been watching the commotion from the other side of the sofa, already understood Xia Ye's intentions.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
That Natsume never misses an opportunity to tease Eri!
"What's wrong?"
Eri glanced at Elena, a few question marks appearing above her head. Then, as Natsume had instructed, she looked down, but—
She only saw less than half of Xia Ye's face!
The other half of the image is completely invisible!
because--
Ahem, those who know, know~
"Hate!"
Eri's pretty face flushed red, and she playfully punched Natsume with her slender hand, while also blaming herself a little—
Mingming had been teased by Xia Ye before with questions like "Can you see your own toes?"
I've fallen for it again! It's really impossible to guard against!
