Chapter 137 So you're persecuting the regimental commander again?!

When Huaiyin returned home and saw Lu Zizhen enter, she was initially surprised, but then smiled and said, "Sister Lu is here."

Lu Zizhen rushed forward excitedly, reached out and rubbed Huaiyin's cheeks, and said with a grin, "Oh my, my lovely little Huaiyin, I've missed you so much!"

However, she then noticed a band-aid on Huaiyin's neck from her collar. It was some scratches she had sustained in the battle with Lunyūdō, but it seemed that Ryūko had misunderstood it.

Lu Zizhen turned her head with a hostile expression, her eyes cold and scrutinizing as she looked at Dou Tang and said, "You don't want to go to Germany for orthopedic treatment, do you?"

Dou Tang didn't understand what she meant and scratched his head: "Huh? What?"

Lu Zizhen stopped dwelling on the matter and instead sat down on the ground with Huaiyin in her arms, acting as if she were a rich young man in a nightclub hugging his female companion.

Dou Tang went to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "If you want to sleep, hurry up and wash up, it's already this late!"

Lu Zizhen immediately jumped up from her cot and hopped into the bathroom, but then her voice came out: "Hey, Dou Tang, have you considered moving to a new house? With our money, we can easily afford a new one!"

Dou Tang thought for a moment, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and looked at Huai Yin.

Huaiyin swallowed hard, looked at the makeshift bed in front of her, and then, as if thinking of something, finally raised her head, blushed, shook her head, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"We don't need it for now, do we?" Dou Tang said.

"Alright... if you like living in a small apartment, I won't stop you. There are advantages to living in a small apartment."

Huaiyin visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Zizhen finished washing up, Dou Tang went to wash up as well, while Lu Zizhen, with a mischievous grin, crawled into Dou Tang's bed.

Huaiyin burrowed into her own bed, looked at Lu Zizhen, and sighed, "Sister Lu, why don't you come and squeeze in with me? Don't get into brother's bed."

Lu Zizhen buried herself completely in the quilt, but after hearing Huaiyin's words, she suddenly poked her head out, making a "pfft" sound. Her face was slightly red, and her hair was disheveled from her clumsy movements. She said, "Hey... Huaiyin's quilt looks pretty nice too, but let's wait a bit. Let me play in his quilt for a while first."

"Play for a while..." Huaiyin's expression was clearly not good.

Lu Zizhen buried herself in the covers again, and Huaiyin, who was standing next to her, was a little annoyed, so she lifted Doutang's blanket and followed her in.

As soon as she got into bed, the slightly sweet scent emanating from Dou Tang filled her nostrils. Huai Yin snorted upon smelling it and reached out to grab Lu Zizhen, who was curled up in a ball.

Lu Zizhen let out a slight cry of surprise, and was immediately hugged by Huaiyin. The two then began to playfully wrestle under Doutang's blankets, engaging in many intimate acts.

After washing up, Dou Tang came out and saw this scene. He was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, carefully took off his shoes, climbed onto the sofa, and lay down to watch the two of them mess around.

Dou Tang's quilt was a double quilt, which provided some space for the two petite girls to move around. The quilt was constantly being lifted and lowered by the two girls, making a ruckus. It was unclear whose fists and feet were used to poke the quilt, making it look as if a restless monster was sealed inside.

Dou Tang lay calmly on his side, like a reclining Buddha, completely unmoved by the pink scene that might appear under the covers, watching quietly.

After making a fuss for a while, Lu Zizhen finally threw off the blanket.

At this moment, Lu Zizhen used both hands and feet to press Huaiyin down, her hair disheveled as if she had just finished a fight, panting heavily, her neck...

A drop of sweat could be seen seeping into the clothes on the neck.

She tossed her hair, took a deep breath, and let out a long, satisfying sigh, saying, "It smells so good..."

Dou Tang's eye twitched.

Huaiyin, pinned beneath her, let out a soft groan and muttered under her breath, "Pervert..."

Lu Zizhen chuckled and lowered her head, burying her face in Huaiyin's neck and giving her a quick kiss, making a soft "pop" sound. Huaiyin's face immediately turned bright red.

"Hmph, Xiao Huaiyin smells really good too."

Lu Zizhen muttered something first, then leaned close to Huaiyin's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "After all, it's covered in his scent... The little guy is quite cunning."

Huaiyin gritted her teeth upon hearing this.

"But she's still a bit less charming than her older sister~" Lu Zizhen smiled as she released Huaiyin, stood up, smoothed her hair with both hands, and looked at Dou Tang, saying, "Hey, I'm messing around with your sister, and you're just watching?"

Dou Tang shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa and yawned again.

"Yes, what else?"

Lu Zizhen pointed to the ground and said, "I'll sleep in your bed tonight. It's cold, and you'll feel cold under a blanket."

Huaiyin sat up and said, "There are other blankets in the room, I'll go get them right now!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zizhen plopped down on the ground, wriggled a few times like a cat-like insect, rolled herself up in Dou Tang's quilt into a square, and said in a silly voice, "Hey... no, this quilt is already warm, I'll use this!"

Huaiyin angrily tore at the blanket, trying to shake her out.

Dou Tang rested her cheek on her hand and said, "Then you two can both use my blanket, and I'll use a wool blanket."

Lu Zizhen chuckled: "That's great, since you won't catch a cold anyway!"

Huaiyin paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something, picked up her blanket and said, "Then brother, you can use mine. I'm fine, we often sleep together anyway."

Lu Zizhen's smile froze instantly. She clicked her tongue, wondering why this little girl was acting so strangely today, not only taking the initiative but also becoming much more clingy.

Dou Tang nodded in agreement, picked up Huaiyin's cup, stood up, and lay down on the other side of the floor mat.

Lu Zizhen stopped arguing, opened a corner of the quilt, shouted, "Give it to me!", and pounced on Huaiyin, who was still standing, pulling the girl into the quilt like a monster hunting its prey.

Huaiyin cried out in surprise and started fighting with Lu Zizhen again. The two of them disappeared completely under the covers.

Dou Tang, wrapped in Huai Yin's small quilt, looked at the quilt bobbing around in front of her with a helpless expression.

After a while, the blanket suddenly stopped moving.

Dou Tang heard faint voices coming from under the covers. Then, the covers moved closer to Dou Tang and stopped in front of him, almost touching his face.

Suddenly, the blanket was lifted slightly, and Lu Zizhen's head popped out. Dou Tang was caught off guard and almost bumped noses with her.

"Hoo-ha!" she shouted, laughing. Dou Tang could smell the faint fragrance of mouthwash on her breath.

“Hu…ha!”

Another sweet cry rang out, and Huaiyin's little head popped out from under the covers, revealing her silver teeth in a sweet smile.

"A two-headed caterpillar man-eating demon..." Lu Zizhen threatened in a low voice.

Huaiyin grinned and, unusually, joined in the antics; the two of them looked quite adorable as they swaggered around.

Dou Tang hesitated for a moment, then lay down on the ground with his head facing the other side. The two women watched as his left hand slowly stretched out, pointing upwards, with his index finger naturally resting on the ground.

"Oh, Olga... Commander," Dou Tang said somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Zizhen and Huaiyin burst into laughter.

Chapter 138 Night Talk on the Crown

In the middle of the night, Dou Tang was half asleep when he suddenly felt someone approach him, their hand resting on his body through the blanket, gently patting him.

Dou Tang opened his eyes and looked to the side, only to find Lu Zizhen lying beside him with a smile, patting Dou Tang's chest as if coaxing a child.

Dou Tang squinted and cast an inquiring glance.

"Was the battle with Taira no Masakado tough?" Lu Zizhen asked softly.

Dou Tang yawned, realizing this was Lu Zizhen's usual late-night whispering time, and said, "It was quite enjoyable."

"For you to give such a high evaluation, it seems Taira no Masakado is quite impressive." Lu Zizhen grinned mischievously, reaching out to pinch Dou Tang's cheek. "What happened to Huaiyin's injury?"

Dou Tang sighed and continued, "Huaiyin ran to Taira no Masakado's main camp, only to run into an evil spirit with a crown."

“I see…” Lu Zizhen nodded: “And you arrived in time to save her, right?”

"That's right, but why don't you think it was Huaiyin who killed that evil spirit?"

Lu Zizhen said with a smile, "Huaiyin's reaction today shows that she is becoming more and more... unusual, so after thinking it over, I think it must be something that happened between you and her recently."

"If she had defeated the evil spirit herself, she wouldn't have just been bothering me today without including you."

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow: "What kind of logic is that?"

“Little girls, once they gain recognition, become much bolder,” Lu Zizhen said calmly, as if she had seen through Huaiyin completely. “But if she had suffered setbacks before, but still achieved some results, then…”

She'd probably take the initiative, but she wouldn't dare to do so with you, the one who saved her; instead, she'd be even more cautious.

Dou Tang thought about it for a while, but didn't quite understand.

Lu Zizhen continued, "So, how was the harvest?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang pondered for a moment and said, "I have obtained a total of five crowns, including those of Taira no Masakado and his generals."

Lu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. At least it shows that this battle was useful for our initial goal."

At this point, Dou Tang paused for a moment, then became slightly more serious, looking at Lu Zizhen with a solemn expression and asking, "What... exactly is your purpose?"

"You had no right to interfere in Taira no Masakado's affairs, and the way you did interfere was not simple. You gained nothing from it, yet you kept stirring things up in the shadows... What are you thinking?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold as soon as he said that.

Dou Tang looked at Lu Zizhen, whose smile had frozen, and said, word by word, "And perhaps, it's not just this one thing?"

Lu Zizhen withdrew her hand, rubbed her cheek, and laughed awkwardly, "Eh... I don't really know about that kind of thing..."

This guy... he really likes to play dumb when it comes to serious matters, but he's so bad at it...

"Be serious," Dou Tang said in a low voice.

Lu Zizhen suddenly snorted, seemingly very dissatisfied with Dou Tang's attitude, and said with a pout, "Isn't it all because of your Crown game!"

"for me?"

"Of course!" Lu Zizhen looked at him with an expression that said his good intentions had been misunderstood. "I risked my life to collect Taira no Masakado's limbs to weaken him. I was also the one who called those people in the Bone Tengu incident, so that you would be recognized by everyone among the exorcists in Tokyo... I even spread many rumors about you among the exorcists, all to make it easier for you to move around in the exorcist circle in the future!"

Dou Tang frowned and said, "But I don't care about any of these things."

Lu Zizhen rolled her eyes: "Ah, yes, of course you don't care. You give off the feeling of a cold-blooded killer, with only simple logic in your mind like 'Where am I going and who am I going to kill'. Apart from not shaving your head, you're no different from Agent 47."

"But this is Tokyo, Doutang, this is Tokyo, a city with tens of millions of people, a vast world. Even though the number of exorcists is small, it is still a group that has been developing for a very long time."

“This group has its own rules. You can break the rules, but I can’t watch you suffer because of them.”

Lu Zizhen reached out and tapped Dou Tang's forehead, continuing, "Guess what the Exorcist Association would think of you if you attacked Jiu Yin Shou Wu before the Bao Yu Sugar Pill incident was exposed, or without borrowing the power of the Morning Star Group and the Bald Group?"

Dou Tang pondered for a moment and said, "A strange person who appeared out of nowhere and challenged Ping Jiangmen for no reason without any power."

Lu Zizhen smiled and said, "So, the existence of Aida Gaku and Kousaki Ryuu is necessary. In this respect, you are actually quite clever, or rather, some things have been developing in a way that is good for you."

"What I did was to give you a push, whether it was introducing you to meetings or collecting Taira no Masakado's limbs, all to help you fight Taira no Masakado in a better state."

Dou Tang scoffed, "So, I should thank you?"

"Of course, but we're like family, no need for thanks." Lu Zizhen smiled and pointed to her cheek, saying, "Just give me a kiss."

Dou Tang remained unmoved and kept silent.

"Tch, boring." Lu Zizhen clicked her tongue, then said, "So, how many crowns have you collected by now?"

"Nine peaks." Dou Tang lowered his voice, becoming somewhat serious. "One-sixth."

“One-sixth…” Lu Zizhen counted on her fingers and continued, “Then do you think there might be others among the remaining participants who, like you, possess many crowns?”

“There definitely will be.” Dou Tang nodded.

"After all, Taira no Masakado had two crowns by himself, and I even saw him merge the crowns of his subordinates. That day, I fought against him when he was holding three crowns at the same time."

Lu Zizhen's expression turned serious, and she frowned as she said, "You said before that this game started a year ago."

"So... could someone have already collected more crowns than you? After all, Taira no Masakado had several crowns right after his resurrection."

Dou Tang grinned.

"Wouldn't that be more convenient for me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Meanwhile, Dou Tang was once again examining the five crowns he had previously worn.
