The ce looked bigger than I thought inside.


    The roads were wide, and many people were walking around casually. It felt like going back to the 1800s, with the old Japanese house design,nterns, and banners everywhere. The night sky made everything even more magical.


    Many people were dressed in kimonos and old-fashioned clothes, simr to what I often see in wuxia manwa. Wanting to fit in, I also wore a simple grey kimono, which made a casual impression.


    Everywhere I looked, there were intricate details that transported me to another time and ce.


    The aroma of traditional Japanese cuisine wafted through the air, tempting me to sample the local delicacies.


    My inner otaku urged me to try and enjoy some of the atmosphere here.


    I found myself drawn to a quaint teahouse located in a corner, its papernterns gently swaying in the breeze.


    Stepping inside, I was greeted by the soothing melody of a shamisen, yed expertly by a musician in the corner. The ambiance was serene, a wee break from the hustle and bustle outside.


    I settled into a tatami mat by the window, savoring the warm cup of matcha tea ced before me. As I watched the passersby outside, I couldn''t shake the feeling that I had stumbled upon a hidden gem, a ce frozen in time amidst the modern world.


    ''It''s a waste to destroy this ce,''I muttered to myself.


    It would be better if I could conquer this ce without causing chaos. With my power, I could obliterate this mountain with just a single fight against someone powerful.


    ''Having a secret base like this wasn''t a bad idea at all,'' I added, thinking that this ce was perfect for me.


    Lost in my thoughts, a friendly voice broke through the tranquility of the teahouse.


    "Master Kubo, you''ve returned from the mission," said a woman with twin long ponytails as she approached me. She was dressed in a yukata adorned with pink designs, and a sword hung from her belt, indicating that she too was a shaman.@@novelbin@@


    "I just got back, Arai," I replied with a smile, having already familiarized myself with the names of Kubo''s subordinates


    She was one of them, and not only that, but she was also the secret lover of the real Kubo. Despite being married, she engaged in a forbidden rtionship. What an indecent woman.


    While her husband was out on a mission, risking his life, she was sleeping with another man.


    After closer inspection, I couldn''t help but acknowledge Kubo''s choice.


    She was beautiful, and even at 30, she retained the appearance of someone in their early 20s because of her stats. Her body proportions were perfect, likely to tempt any man except me, as Zayen would make her appear like a peasant inparison.


    "So, why aren''t you heading to the temple?" Arai asked as she sat beside me and ordered a tea as well.


    The temple she mentioned served as the central ce of this location, housing the strongest and current n leader.


    Perched atop the mountain, it boasted 20 towering floors that reached towards the sky. Discover stories with empire


    If not for the enveloping mist, the temple would undoubtedly be the center of attention.


    Speaking of the mist, it wasn''t just a natural phenomenon; it also served as a barrier. Simr to the phoenix statue, but far more powerful, this barrier extended over a vast area, adding anotheryer of protection to this ce.


    "It''s gettingte, so I''m nning to report tomorrow," I replied, fabricating an excuse.


    In reality, I was scouting the area first. Using suggestion on shamans was more challenging than on ordinary humans, so I needed to be cautious not to attract too much attention. It had worked with the ns in Tokyo, but they were much smaller inparison.


    "I see. By the way, my husband is on a mission tonight, so..." Arai subtly pinched my kimono, her hands concealed from the view of others. It was her way of indicating that she wanted to be fucked by me tonight .


    She blushed deeply, her breathing growing heavier with lust. It was evident she desired my cock.


    "Not tonight," I replied, knowing that I still had many tasks to attend to.


    "Please, I won''t take up too much of your time," she pleaded. In Kubo''s memory, this woman was an sex addict, and she felt ufortable when she wasn''t sucking on a cock.


    However, I am not Kubo; I am a man of focus,mitment, and sheer fucking will.


    ***


    2 hourster


    I opened my eyes, and found Arai beside me.


    She was naked and sleeping soundly after I fucked her so hard that her pussy started protesting. She was a sex addict, but when I fucked her to the point of breaking her, she begged me to give her some rest. What an amateur .


    Why did I fuck her?


    I realized that I needed to test my suggestion and oath on someone secretly, and it was just a coincidence that she was the perfect candidate.


    I didn''t fuck her because I''m a horny guy. Nope, definitely not. I swear on my none existent conscience .


    ''It''s already 10:00 pm,'' I murmured as I checked the time. It was the perfect moment for me to infiltrate the temple.


    All I needed to do was take care of the Rank 2 gifted in Asia, and everything would fall into ce like a domino effect.


    The streets were now cloaked in darkness, with the residents sleeping early for the night.


    Only the asional patrol guards could be spotted moving about. With my invisibility, bypassing them was a simple task.


    I didn''t fly directly because Kubo warned me that the temple had a way to detect flying objects.


    The steps toward the temple were quite long, but with my speed, I reached the top in no time.


    Once there, I saw the temple, a pagoda towering into the sky. It was adorned withnterns, giving it the appearance of a Christmas tree.


    ''Japanese sure do love theirnterns,'' I chuckled to myself.
