Book 4: Chapter 24: This is an affair?

Matsui Iwane was sleeping.

At least, thats what it seemed like on the surface.

Wan Li ostentatiously strolled randomly around the luxury ward, looking here and there, putting on an appearance of checking the instruments. In reality, he was observing the entire ward, checking to see if there were other secrets hidden here. All his attention was focused on the person lying on the bed.

Ruan Zhan told him to adapt to the circumstances, but Wan Li wasnt like Ruan Zhan who controlled his emotions, only making a move when he had a plan in place. Wan Li was a little more like Xiao Xia. He liked to uncover things and then face the opponent head on. This was probably why he got along so well with Xiao Xia!

However, he wasnt as impetuous as she was!

At this moment, he wanted to provoke that old fellow into dropping his act. That way, he could directly see his opponents abilities. At the least, provoking him into acting would give Ruan Zhan an advantage! However, he also had to ensure his own safety. Therefore, he stuck some talismans with extremely powerful protective abilities onto his chest before stepping towards the sickbed.

Matsui Iwane lay there silently, surrounded by tubes and machines. His entire body seemed like a grapevine made of flesh, limp and powerless.

Its clearly an act. Wan Li thought. If he never woke up, it would be a huge blessing.

Although he was a psychiatrist, he still had some basic medical knowledge. According to the instruments, this old fogey was truly in danger. However, since he knew the full story, he knew Matsui Iwanes condition was fake. He could actually control his own bodys condition. As expected, he was an expert!

However, Wan Li wasnt afraid no matter what kind of expert he was, even if this old fellow turned out to be more terrifying than an evil spirit. Although his expression remained unconcerned, his entire body was tensed in anticipation.

Good old Chairman Mao had an excellent saying: treat the enemy with disdain when making your plans, but treat them seriously when executing your tactics.

He bent over slightly and stretched his hand out to lift the patients oxygen mask. He was waiting to see how long his opponent would keep up the act, but there was still no reaction. This aroused his interest and his childishness burst forth. He wanted to see how much a Japanese person, who were known for their endurance, could actually endure. Therefore, he poked and prodded the old fogey but there was still no movement.

Truly good at enduring!

He praised insincerely in his mind as he stretched his hand into his shirt and pulled out a talisman. He made to stick in in between Matsui Iwanes brows. This time, the opponent finally reacted. Wan Li felt his hand being grabbed by a wizened yet forceful hand. At the same time, those eyes in front of him opened wide!

Japanese? I cant understand it. After the opponent spat out a vicious line in Japanese, Wan Li was still beaming. He pulled his hand away but actually wasnt able to get free.

Dont underestimate an old mans ability! Matsui Iwane spoke in stiff Chinese.

But theres a saying in Chinese: the fist fears the vigor of youth. Wan Li pulled harder and immediately pulled free. The pain in his wrist made him suck in many cold breaths in his heart. However, he kept an indifferent expression on his face.

Matsui Iwane sat up with a swish, as though there was a spring installed. There were no signs of illness at all. His speed in getting up gave Wan Li a fright. He didnt have time to react before Matsui Iwane formed a strange seal with his hands. There was a flash and something white shot straight towards his chest.

He instinctively stepped back. His vision blurred and there was no time to defend himself. There was a bang and a heavy force struck his chest. Luckily he had placed the protective talismans inside his shirt in advance. Therefore, there was only a slight burning pain. He merely fell against the wall in his attempt to dodge, but wasnt as heavily injured as the ambusher intended.

He lowered his head for a look and saw a white icy mark on his chest. As he watched, it swiftly melted.

Yo, my clothes are wet. Itll be cold! He fished out a talisman from his shirt as he spoke and pounced over at Matsui Iwane.

At that instant, he had suddenly felt it was a good opportunity to attack. The Japanese person had some ability but it wasnt enough to threaten his life. Wan Li had some understanding of spells and also had talismans with Ruan Zhans concentrated spirit power.

Matsui Iwane also received a shock.

Cold sweat trickled down Wan Lis back. The first reason being this was the first time he heard that Matsui Shigenori hadnt died, and had even burst out of the morgue to roam around. The second reason was that the mans laugh made him recall a personMatsui Noriko.

Matsui Noriko was a man?! Such a beautiful, exquisite person was male, or perhaps a transvestite? Why was he speaking Chinese? Had Wan Li been discovered? More womanly than a woman, but with a male voice. This was truly weird!

While Wan Li was astonished, Matsui Noriko continued speaking. Master, my Chinese has improved. You said I should practice my Chinese while in China, but I keep forgetting. Im so jealous of Shigenori-kun. Hes a prodigy at learning the Yinyang Arts, but the only thing I managed to learn after all this time is to cast fog. That day when he exchanged his inner breath, he didnt kill those women. He even turned them into snow skeletons and brought them all with him today. Probably to deal with that Chinese person. I think he did the right thing. Otherwise, people would get suspicious if innocent people died in the hospital. Its also very useful since theyre still human after all. That Chinese person wouldnt kill his own people, right?!

Controlling women to do his bidding? This was something else that they hadnt anticipated. Could Ruan Zhan handle it? Wan Li grew more anxious the more he listened.

Master, why arent you saying anything? Matsui Noriko started feeling something wasnt right in the abnormal silence. She swiftly walked to the bed, switching to Japanese due to anxiety. The bed also started shaking. There was no need to guess what she was doing.

Without waiting for Matsui Noriko to figure out what had happened to Matsui Iwane, Wan Li stretched his hands out from beneath the bed and exerted a little force. That beauty fell directly to the floor.

Wan Li swiftly crawled out from under the bed. Even he hadnt thought he could move so fast. The moment he got on top of Matsui Noriko, he unrestrainedly copped a feel.

Male, as expected. He announced his verdict.

Matsui Noriko didnt react due to shock, and merely glared with his pretty eyes.

So beautiful yet actually a man. Are you a freak? Wan Li stretched his hand out as he spoke and felt his chest. He wasnt being perverted. These three Japanese people were too weird and unexpected things kept happening. He had to be completely sure.

His touch confirmed that despite there being a bra for pretenses, it was definitely a males flat chest under the clothing. Furthermore, it was a very frail one.

Matsui Noriko finally reacted at this point, roaring a line in Japanese. He was probably cursing Wan Li. However, Wan Li couldnt understand a word, and he also didnt much care. This person was a bro after all.1 The Japanese man who was more beautiful than a beauty wasnt able to overcome him at all.

However, at this time a nurse knocked on the door and came inside. She seemed to be doing routine inspections. She happened to see Wan Li and Matsui Noriko tangled together in an embrace, probably looking very enthusiastic.

She was obviously shocked, standing a full ten seconds with her mouth open.

Havent you seen an affair before? Wan Li reacted swiftly and said. Please leave. Let us continue.

That nurse didnt say a word and practically fled. She didnt even forget to close the door on her way out.

As expected of a nurse in the luxury ward! Wan Li praised. He then turned back to the Japanese sissy. Unfortunately, youre going to have to sleep for a while.

He mercilessly sent out another fist, striking that lovely face.

It seems Japanese Yinyang Masters truly dont accept any women! He spoke as he threw the unconscious person onto the sofa. He fished out that invisibility talisman, stuck it on and walked out.

He probably didnt have the opportunity to warn Ruan Zhan anymore. Matsui Shigenori had already gone over. If he called Ruan Zhan at this time, he might give his position away.

He had been lucky and encountered the weakest group. He could only hope the other two wont be in too much danger.

He couldnt leave. He had to make sure the two werent able to make any moves, and ensure the minor characters couldnt become a major threat. The rest would depend on the other two. He could only wait and see if their trusty trio was unbeatable.

He also had to find some chloroform. If those Japanese people woke up at an inopportune moment, he didnt want to resort to violence again.

He was a cultured person with higher education!

The raw used wordplay where the term for slut/cheap person is kind of a homophone for gym rat.
