The speaker was Fang Xian, who walked out slowly with light and steady steps.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he used "Eye of Insight" on Shinobu Kocho.
[Name: Shinobu Kocho
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: 92
Body: 93
Height: 160cm
Character: Perfect
Affection: 0]
Shinobu Kocho possessed a graceful and lithe figure, and was rather petite.
Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, exuding the tenderness and gentleness of a young girl.
Her long, bright lemon-colored hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, with a few strands naturally framing her face, adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness.
Her hair was tied in two small buns on either side of her head, adorned with cute bows.
Shinobu Kocho has a round, adorable face with soft, flowing lines. Her arched eyebrows are delicate and light-colored, like willow leaves.
Her violet eyes often sparkle with a gentle smile. Below her high, delicate nose is a small, rosy mouth, always slightly upturned, radiating a warm and sweet smile.
Shinobu wears the standard uniform of the Ghost Killers Squad, a white haori embroidered with purple butterfly patterns, exquisitely beautiful.
Beneath the haori is a fitted black uniform that perfectly accentuates her figure, making her appear even more graceful.
A deep purple belt cinches her waist, from which hang her signature weapons—two Nichirin Blades shaped like butterfly knives, their hilts also decorated with butterfly patterns, perfectly complementing her overall look.
Her overall image is sweet and lovely yet elegant and dignified. Every gesture exudes a captivating charm, like a beautiful butterfly, light and agile, radiating a unique allure.
Shinobu Kocho was slightly taken aback when she saw Fang Xian, a hint of wariness and doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Who are you?"
Kanroji's face was full of panic and unease, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes as she stammered.
"Sister Kocho... um, he..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Xian raised his hand to interrupt her.
A faint smile played on Fang Xian's lips, his eyes radiating confidence and composure. He turned slightly, gesturing an invitation, his tone sincere and gentle.
"Since you're here, please come in and have a seat, Miss Shinobu Kocho."
His voice was deep and magnetic, exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard.
Shinobu Kocho's doubts deepened. She secretly sized up Fang Xian before her; her intuition told her that this man was no ordinary person.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over Fang Xian like a sharp blade, a guess forming in her mind, before she gave a sweet smile.
"Hello, I'm Shinobu Kocho. Are you Kanroji's boyfriend?"
Fang Xian nodded without hesitation, readily admitting it.
"Yes, I am."
The moment the words left his lips, Kanroji's face flushed crimson, almost as if it could bleed.
She lowered her head, covering her cheeks with her hands, her toes shuffling nervously on the ground, stammering, unable to speak.
Fang Xian, however, casually put his arm around Rukia's shoulder, smiling and nodding in acknowledgment.
"That's right, I am Kanroji's boyfriend."
His tone was filled with pride and affection.
Kanroji's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with shyness and sweetness.
She secretly raised her head to glance at Fang Xian beside her, then quickly lowered it again, unable to meet everyone's gaze.
Shinobu Kocho, watching her friend's shy appearance, couldn't help but chuckle.
She stepped forward and gently poked Kanroji's cheek, teasingly saying,
"Oh my, Kanroji, you've kept this a secret so well! When did you get such a handsome boyfriend? You didn't even tell your older sister!"
Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned even redder. She mumbled softly,
"I...I only recently started dating..."
Shinobu Kocho blinked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"So, what are your plans for the future? Will you...you know...?"
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
Upon hearing this, Kanroji became even more shy. She stamped her foot and playfully scolded,
"Butterfly Sister, please stop teasing me..."
Fang Xian, watching this amusing scene, smiled even more broadly.
He looked tenderly at Kanroji Mitsuri and said softly,
"Don't worry, I'll always be with Mitsuri and make her happy."
Kanroji looked up, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion.
She leaned gently against Fang Xian's chest, her face radiant with a happy smile.
Choshino Shinobu, watching the sweet couple, felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I hope you can always be this happy."
Fang Xian's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"You're wrong, it's us."
"What do you mean?"
Choshino Shinobu looked at Fang Xian in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
"It means..."
Fang Xian smiled slyly, then unleashed "Trick: Mind Interference," instantly maxing out Shinobu's favorability towards him.
A black magic circle appeared beneath his feet, linking to Shinobu and forming its own.
A large "Master" appeared between them.
"Contract."
Shinobu, her favorability adjusted, answered without hesitation.
"Agreed."
The black magic circle linking them shone brightly, merging into a large black circle.
A moment later, both Fang Xian and Shinobu felt the "Power of the Contract," the contract successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful, current contract partner: 77/202.]
For some reason, an unprecedented emotion welled up in Shinobu's heart, a faint blush rising on her cheeks—the mark of love's quiet arrival.
However, when her gaze fell upon Kanroji Mitsuri beside Fang Xian, her heart skipped a beat.
Shinobu Kocho was surprised and troubled; she never imagined she would develop such strong feelings for a man from Kanroji.
Just as Shinobu was caught in this internal struggle, Fang Xian seemed to sense her gaze and suddenly turned around.
His eyes were burning with intensity and determination as he looked directly at Shinobu.
Then, he did something that shocked everyone:
—Without hesitation, he released Kanroji Mitsuri's hand, strode over to Shinobu, and pulled her into his arms.
Shinobu Kocho's eyes widened, her mind blank. Before she could react, Fang Xian's lips were already pressed heavily against hers.
This sudden kiss froze her body instantly, and Kanroji stood rooted to the spot, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
The air in the courtyard seemed to freeze, and time itself stood still.
Kanroji's eyes were filled with anger and sorrow; her hands clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly.
However, just as Kanroji thought Shinobu would struggle, she slowly closed her eyes, her arms unconsciously encircling Fang Xian's neck, beginning to cooperate with this forbidden kiss.
Although a trace of guilt and unease still lingered in Shinobu's heart, at this moment, the power of the contract had completely overcome reason.
Fang Xian kissed Shinobu as he walked towards the bedroom.
Along the way, Shinobu's Ghost Killer Squad uniform kept falling to the ground until her flawless beautiful body came to view...
