Xia Ningning pretended to be quite fierce as she issued a warning to Ye Ming, and he had no objections—after all, she was expressing concern for Xu Lele.

"Now that Le Le is alright, I feel relieved. As soon as Le Le wakes up, you all should hurry back!"

Xia Ningning said, "Don’t go stirring up trouble in Japan this time. I’ll trust you for now, but if I catch you at it again, I won’t let you off the hook."

After uttering that statement, Xia Ningning suddenly felt it was somewhat inappropriate; she and Ye Ming didn’t have any actual relationship, and yet her words sounded like those of a boyfriend-girlfriend couple.

Logically, these were words Xu Lele should have said.

Xia Ningning thought about it and decided to consider it as warning Ye Ming on behalf of Xu Lele.

"Don’t think of me as so superficial," Ye Ming replied.

After the conversation, as Xia Ningning was about to hang up the phone, she seemed to remember something and added, "Right, you should stay low profile in Japan recently. I just heard that Lami from The Thirteenth Divine Position of the Divine King Temple was killed in Japan."

"The Divine King Temple is the strongest organization overseas; I didn’t expect someone to be so bold. Now, the Divine King Temple’s people are already conducting an investigation. I’m worried that the person who killed Lami might still be in Japan. He must be a madman; you all be careful not to get hurt by him."

Xia Ningning’s analysis caused Ye Ming’s mind to be filled with dark lines, but he didn’t show any disagreement and superficially agreed with her.

Only after their chat ended did Ye Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

Without his permission, someone could peep into his affairs; Ye Ming had already guessed who it might be.

However, he had no intention of blaming anyone, as Xia Ningning was smart enough to deceive Feng Yun with just a few words, and that was unavoidable.

This time, he directly turned off his cell phone and quietly returned to the hot spring.

Inoue Harusame, wearing a bathrobe, still sat by the hot spring, blushing as she looked at Ye Ming. Seeing through her thoughts, Ye Ming casually said, "It’s fine, I can soak by myself; you go do whatever else you need to."

Inoue Harusame nodded and replied, "Serving Mr. Ye is my sole duty. Since Mr. Ye doesn’t need my service, then I shall go prepare your dinner."

Ye Ming nodded thoughtfully, realizing that despite his time in Japan, he had yet to really taste traditional Japanese cuisine.

After sending Inoue Harusame away, Ye Ming could finally soak in the hot spring in peace.

Basking in the rich Spiritual Energy washing over his body, Ye Ming closed his eyes and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Yet, before long, he heard a series of footsteps.

Extending his consciousness outward, Ye Ming found that the villa’s perimeter had been filled with people.

A group of samurai in traditional garb rushed in, surrounding the hot spring and encircled Ye Ming.

Sharp blades were pointed at his neck.

"A man from Dragon Country dares to run wild in our Inoue Family domain; you’re quite daring. I suppose you don’t want to live!"

From behind the crowd, a stooped old man stepped forward, staring at Ye Ming with disdain as he interrogated, "The young man who caused a stir in Neon City, that would be you, right?"

With his eyes firmly closed, Ye Ming couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them, lazily asking, "What is it, do you have something to say?"

The old man coldly said, "You slew our country’s faith, caused a commotion at the temple, and committed unforgiveable acts. Since you dared to come to our Inoue Family, we have the duty to eradicate you!"

"Now I give you two choices," either commit seppuku to apologize for the deity we’ve lost, or be slain by us, with your head hung on the temple for public display."

Ye Ming gave a faint smile and said, "What if I choose neither? Destroying your faith is no difficulty for me, and dealing with you people is even less of a concern."

The old man sneered back, "People of Dragon Country, aren’t you underestimating our Inoue Family a bit too much? Our strength cannot be compared to those temples."

The old man in front of him was the current Family Head of the Inoue Family, Inoue Tenyu.

As the foremost family of Neon City, the power of the Inoue Family was not to be underestimated; they were incomparable to the temples.

The temples only had a few guards, but the Inoue Family raised genuine experts. Among the crowd surrounding Ye Ming, there were several swordsmen and ninjas.

Just as the situation was on a knife-edge, the figure of Inoue Harusame appeared, stepping in front of Ye Ming and declared, "You must not treat Mr. Ye so rudely!"

Inoue Tenyu glared at her fiercely and shouted, "Inoue Harusame, you wretched girl, are you actually defending our enemy?"

"Don’t you know what he has done?"

Inoue Harusame shook her head resolutely and said, "He is only your enemy. Please, do not refer to him as ’our.’ Moreover, this is my home, so I am asking you to leave immediately!"

Inoue Tenyu paid her no mind and with a brazen face said, "Inoue Harusame has betrayed us. There’s no need to show restraint, and she must be executed without exception! Today we must not only eliminate the external enemy, but also resolve our internal strife!"

From their exchange, it was evident that this discord had been brewing for more than a day or two.

Their attitude towards Inoue Harusame was not good, and they intended to deal with her.

Inoue Tenyu waved his hand, and all the swordsmen and ninjas immediately sprang into action.

It was at this moment that Ye Ming sighed deeply. What was wrong with simply wanting a peaceful hot spring soak?

He got up, casually draped a bath towel around himself, and charged into the crowd.

The situation was clear—he was facing his enemies, so Ye Ming did not hold back and killed them all, leaving none alive.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was strewn with bodies, leaving only Inoue Tenyu standing in place.

He watched the scene before him in disbelief, trembling all over.

"Damn you all, wait for me. I will send more people to strangle you!"

After saying that, Inoue Tenyu turned to flee.

Of course, Ye Ming wouldn’t give him that chance, and sent out a burst of True Qi to close the villa’s door.

Afterward, Ye Ming said to Inoue Harusame, "Resolve your internal conflict yourselves."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Inoue Harusame, with an emotional expression, did not hesitate to draw a dagger from her waist and lunged at Inoue Tenyu.

It was clear that she had always carried this dagger, never parting with it, all this time waiting for the day she could personally exact revenge on her father’s murderer!

"Inoue Harusame, you dare? I am your uncle!" Inoue Tenyu bellowed, eyes wide with shock and teeth gritted, "Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"

Inoue Harusame’s expression was icy as she replied, "Did you think of the consequences now when you killed my parents back then?"
