Chapter 12 Now it's really time to choose a concubine.
Yuki Ayaka Rin really loves this emotional support cheat.
Before she could even utter a word, but simply thought about how Xia Youjie's body was still being used by Lu Suo after his death, she already felt like crying.
The end result was that her voice trembled with tears as she spoke, filled with hatred for Lu Suo. Her eyes, as she looked at Xia Youjie, were full of expectation, even a hint of pleading, begging them to quickly find that cunning old bastard Lu Suo and tear him to pieces.
Upon seeing this, even Angeji and Mingming, who were not very familiar with the child's specific situation, clearly realized one thing: the person she was talking about must have stolen the body of someone very close to the child.
People like Xia Youjie, who already had some information, had a vague idea of what was going on.
After all... among the people around Yuki Ayakari, there was only one person who had an accident.
Of course, Gojo Satoru was more interested in something else than that—
"Possessing someone else's body?" He raised an eyebrow, asking with great interest, "How does it involve possession? Is it a soul-level takeover or some other physical method?"
Karin Origami responded with a blank look.
Gojo Satoru: "..."
He turned to look at Xia Youjie, pointed at Zhi Xueya and Hua Li and complained to him: "Jie, from a genetic point of view, your future wife's IQ may not be very high."
Xia Youjie and Zhi Xueya Huali: "..."
Ankagi was also somewhat speechless: "I said, Akari is just a child. How can you expect her to understand what a soul is, what possession is, or what physics is?"
She also patted Yuki Akahara's head as a comforting gesture.
Zhi Xue A Hua Li: Exactly, can you please respect my age setting?
Gojo Satoru looked completely bewildered: "I was already learning calculus when I was five years old, okay?"
Everyone: "..."
Everyone thought this guy was showing off. Only Karin Ooyuki believed that Gojo Satoru was telling the truth, since he was indeed a top genius in the lore.
Seeing that everyone thought the child wouldn't understand the question, Gojo Satoru shrugged: "Alright, I'll ask it in a simpler way. When you say 'body being possessed,' you mean—"
"A, that person was originally Jay, and then suddenly became me or became Shoko. Or B, that person's stomach was hollowed out, and a cursed spirit crawled in and controlled the body."
"By the way, I was also wondering if this is a personal talent technique or some kind of special spell, but I don't think you would understand it anyway, so never mind."
The group: "..."
Forget about ignoring the rest of the text for now, everyone looked at Oriyuki Karin, thinking that this time the child should be able to understand and give an answer, right?
However, Ayaka Arika still shook her head, sniffing, and said, "Ayaka Arika doesn't know..."
Gojo Satoru looked at Xia Youjie with a complicated expression and said, "Jie, I think there might be something wrong with your genes too?"
Xia Youjie: = =#
He was about to speak up to clarify things for himself and Karin when the child beside him spoke first: "No, no, I understand what you're saying, but... I don't know which one. He... he looks exactly like Dad, and he can control spirits like Dad, except he has a stitched scar on his forehead."
Upon hearing this, Ankahime's eyes widened immediately: Wait, the guy whose body was taken over, is Natsuyu???
Xia Youjie and his group, who had already made some guesses, were not so surprised by this. What surprised them more was—why was it "Xia Youjie" again?
What terrible things did Xia Youjie do in his past life to deserve such a tragic fate?
As for Yuki Ayakari, she became more and more emotional as she spoke, transforming into Natsuyu Ayakari on the spot, tears streaming down her face, and continued, "He... he told others that he was Natsuyu Jie, and at the very beginning, he even tried to deceive Ayakari, Mimiko, and Nanako-neechan..."
"But...but...he's really different from Daddy. Akari wouldn't mistake Daddy for someone else. He's a bad person...but Akari, Mimiko, and Nanako can't beat him, sob sob sob..."
"So...Ayakari is going to the high school to...to find Gojo Satoru to beat him up..."
Xia Youjie had already picked up the child when he started to get upset, and An Geji was also there to help by handing him tissues.
Xia Youjie should be glad that Zhi Xueya and Hua Li aren't real children, otherwise he would be wiping his snot all over him.
Ayaka wiped her nose and tugged at Natsumi's school uniform jacket, saying, "Dad... shall we go find that bad guy and kill him? Ayaka doesn't want Dad to become like that."
Xia Youjie naturally wouldn't say no. The thought of someone forcibly taking his body one day, and the other person even planning to use his appearance to deceive his daughter, made Xia Youjie feel extremely disgusted.
Gojo Satoru was also quite annoyed: "Tsk, who is that guy?"
It's as if he's saying, "Tell me where he is, and I'll go and scatter him in a heartbeat."
As Xia Youjie wiped away her tears, Zhi Xueya Karin shook her head: "I...I don't know."
Gojo Satoru: "...How come you don't know anything?"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Are you being polite? What do you expect a five-year-old to know? The end of the universe? The meaning of life? Or what's inside a black hole?
Between cursing Gojo Satoru and crying even harder to get others to curse Gojo Satoru, Oriyuki Karin decisively chose the latter.
"Waaaaah... I'm sorry... Akari doesn't know anything... Daddy... I'm sorry, waaaaah..."
She didn't cry very loudly—mainly because she was embarrassed—but her pitiful crying was heartbreaking.
So everyone started to condemn Gojo Satoru, and Ankagi even took action.
Although she had never fought one either.
After crying for a while, Shiki Ayaka stopped, feeling it was enough. She just opened her red, tear-filled eyes and looked at Mingming expectantly, saying, "Mingming-jie, you're an information broker, you must know a lot of information, right? Can you help me find that bad guy?"
Mingming reached out and wiped away the remaining tears from her eyelashes, saying, "We don't know enough information, so it might be difficult. But... I'll help you find out."
After saying that, she glanced at Gojo Satoru: "After all, a boss has agreed to pay."
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Miss Mei, if you can find that guy, I'll give you a reward of 1 billion."
Xia Youjie: ?
He glanced at Gojo Satoru in surprise, not expecting the other party to offer such a high price to help him find someone.
Gojo Satoru didn't care much. It was just a billion yen. Could it be more important than his brothers?
What's more, he only had this one good brother in his fifteen years of life.
"One billion?" Mingming was clearly very satisfied with the price, and the smile on her face became even more genuine. "Then I'll have to put in a lot more effort."
She then turned to look at Karin Oriyuki and asked, "Karin-chan, what else do you know about that person?"
She needs to ask more questions and get as much information as possible before she can earn this money.
Karin was very cooperative, but unfortunately there wasn't much room for her to cooperate, since the original work didn't mention what Ryosaku was doing before the main storyline began.
She thought for a moment and could only say, "I...I overheard him talking on the phone, he...he called the other person Kamo."
"Kamo?" The group exchanged glances, for no other reason than that they were all very familiar with this surname.
Gojo Satoru: "The Kamo family?"
Anka couldn't help but say, "It might not just be the Kamo family, right? Maybe it's another Kamo?"
The main issue is... if the Kamo family is really involved, things might not be so simple.
Gojo Satoru simply curled his lip: "Anyway, that's what they love to do the most, isn't it?"
Angege: "..."
That cannot be refuted.
"No matter what, we can always look into it." Mingming smiled. "Leave it to me."
She was determined to have that billion.
"By the way, speaking of the Kamo family, I have some news that you might be interested in." She glanced at Oriyuki Karin with a smile, "It's related to Karin-chan."
Zhixue Yahuali:?
For some reason, she always felt that the way the other person looked at her was a little...ambiguous.
It's not the kind of deep, affectionate ambiguity, but the kind of ambiguity that onlookers have when they're just watching the drama unfold.
Zhi Xueya Huali couldn't help but feel alarmed: what kind of melon could a melon seedling that was only one meter tall possibly produce?
Upon hearing Mingming's opening line, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but retort, "Although I'm not short of money, we just closed a deal for a billion, Miss Mingming, don't you have any freebies or anything?"
Mingming glanced at him with a smile: "One thing at a time. Besides, we haven't even gotten the billion yet. But never mind, considering that Yahuali-chan brought me such a big deal, I'll consider this message a gift to you."
"Kamo and Zenin know about Akari-chan's existence."
Gojo Satoru was speechless: "I thought it was some big news. I could have expected this kind of thing a long time ago."
Karin was not surprised at all. After all... Satoru Gojo and Natsumi Yuuki were incredibly confident and had no intention of hiding her from others. Satoru Gojo even enjoyed seeing the shocked expressions on people's faces when they found out that Natsumi Yuuki had such a big daughter, and Natsumi Yuuki's frantic efforts to explain to others in case they really thought he was that crazy...
Xia Youjie: He wants to be the strongest, but he is definitely not the strongest in this aspect.
Only that guy, Wu, wants to be the strongest...
In short, it goes without saying that everyone knows this will eventually find out about this among those rotten oranges.
“Who said I was going to talk about that?” Mingming’s smile became even more meaningful. She glanced at Xia Youjie and asked, “When the Cursed Spirit Manipulator appeared before, Xia Youjie, did the people from the three starter families try to get in touch with you? I mean… the kind who invited you to change your surname.”
Change your surname?
As we all know, the most common way to change one's surname is generally through marriage.
Zhi Xueya Karin looked at Xia Youjie with a gossipy expression, thinking, "Is there such a thing?"
Although it wasn't unexpected, she really wanted to hear these little tidbits of gossip unrelated to the main plot.
At this moment, Ayaka Kaori had not yet fully grasped what Mingming was saying, but Natsumi Yuki, who was familiar with Mingming's speaking style, already knew.
He was somewhat speechless: "...Ayakari...is only five years old."
Zhixue Yahuali:?
Wait a minute, why is your conversation so disjointed? Why are you suddenly mentioning my age?
No one paid attention to her doubts, and no one expected a child to know anything about marriage or love.
Mingming smiled and glanced at Gojo Satoru: "At what age did someone come to propose marriage to you, Gojo-kun?"
Gojo Satoru thought for a moment: "I don't remember, but normally... I should have had them after I was confirmed to have six eyes, right?"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Wait a moment, and she seemed to know what they were talking about.
Zhi Xueya Karin suddenly felt like she was eating melons on her own head.
Gojo Satoru couldn't help but whistle and slapped Oriyuki Karin on the head: "Little Karin, now you can really choose a concubine!"
He seemed quite looking forward to that scene.
Xia Youjie's face had darkened.
His daughter, Ayaka, is only five years old!
