Chapter 389: The Call of the White Tiger
Chu Jiang turned around and Kujo Aino saw his back, where a white tiger was tattooed!
The mighty and menacing white tiger exuded a sinister and eerie feeling. Its eyes were blood red, and Kujo Aino was instantly mesmerized by it. As a result, something special happened to her.
Without waiting for Chu Jiang to say anything, Kujo Aino became somewhat infatuated and pressed closer.
Her condition seemed strange, she hugged Chu Jiang and gently rubbed her face against his back, showing a strong attachment…
This made Chu Jiang frown, he grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her away from him, "What are you doing?"
Kujo Aino didn’t respond, her eyes were unfocused. Marks with white background and black patterns appeared on her body again, and after the marks formed, a burst of white light suddenly came at them!
Chu Jiang immediately used dark flames to block it, but at the same time, the white tiger card he had put away earlier automatically shattered, and the energy inside turned into a beam of white light that shot out from his left hand, merging with the white light outside.
When they intersected, an incredible speed erupted! The white light bypassed Chu Jiang’s barrier and entered the tattoo on his back.
Chu Jiang’s expression changed, he felt his back getting warm, and immediately activated his time restart ability.
But for some reason, even though time rolled back a few seconds, the merged white light didn’t exit his body.
Soon, Chu Jiang felt his back going from warm to hot, as if something had been activated.
From his heightened senses, Chu Jiang could see the white tiger on his back as if it had come to life, even shaking its fur.
As the White Tiger became active, Chu Jiang felt a strong presence coming from the west. He looked in that direction with amazement, sensing something familiar.
It called out to him, urging him to seek and free it…
After the bright light shot out from her body, Kujo Aino returned to normal.
She took a few steps back, feeling a bit panicked because she had no idea what had just happened. She was also afraid of her own actions, which seemed uncontrollable.
……
It took Chu Jiang about ten minutes to figure out the changes that had occurred to him.
First, he really wanted to drag out that annoying White Tiger spirit and give it a good beating because it had tricked him.
In conclusion, it seemed like the love with the White Tiger power had been remotely controlled by the actual White Tiger after witnessing the White Tiger Fury within himself.
Then, the White Tiger controlled both the love and the White Tiger card, merging their powers together to activate the curse within him.
This curse used to be semi-dormant, but now it’s fully awakened and has brought both a good and a bad consequence to Chu Jiang.
The good consequence is that Chu Jiang can now use the abilities of the "spirit" without relying on cards, and he can also control whether his tattoos are visible, just like Kujo Aino.
The bad consequence is that Chu Jiang not only senses the actual location of the White Tiger, but also feels a strong urge to go find and rescue it.
So far, Chu Jiang is able to control this urge.
However, he has a feeling that this urge will grow stronger over time. Eventually, Chu Jiang fears he will go crazy trying to find the White Tiger.
This is causing Chu Jiang a great deal of distress, but luckily the urge is increasing slowly. He estimates it will take three to five months before it becomes too much. Otherwise, he would have to take a flight and hurry back to fight his opponent.
…….
Kujo Aino has been silent for a long time. She sits quietly beside him, appearing a bit helpless and scared. However, she doesn’t dare to escape and instead watches the man in front of her, trying various things with her tattoos.
Chu Jiang takes a deep breath and commands, "Come here."
Kujo Aino stood up obediently and took small steps forward, lowering her head.
"Look up, and look into my eyes."
Kujo Aino bit her lip, afraid to refuse. In the brief moment her eyes met Chu Jiang’s, that bewildering expression appeared once again.
"Who am I?"
"You are the master."
"Then, whatever I ask, you answer."
"Okay."
After the recent changes, it seemed that Kujo Aino could no longer resist Chu Jiang’s abilities. The power of the White Tiger in Chu Jiang was now clearly stronger than the power in Kujo Aino’s body.
"Tell me about your background and your relationship with the Kujo family."
Kujo Aino explained in detail, which was similar to what was mentioned before, but there were some changes in the details.
For example, she was indeed adopted by the Kujo family, but not only as a tool to please men, but also to be trained as a ninja, spy, and assassin.
Due to Kujo Aino’s special "gift," the Kujo family assigned her a task: at any cost, try to hypnotize Chu Jiang and gradually turn him into a puppet under the control of the Kujo family.
Furthermore, Kujo Yoshii was also worried about sudden exposure, so he instructed Kujo Aino not to act too hastily. She must be completely certain before taking action, preferably when the other party is completely relaxed.
At the same time, the Kujo family prepared to cut ties with Kujo Aino; once exposed, they would ruthlessly abandon her, even bringing trouble to the Soga family.
Currently, among the three families, the Soga family is the most powerful. The Kujo family has always wanted to gain more influence within the Peaceful Spirit Garden and even throughout the entire island country.
Overall, this didn’t exceed Chu Jiang’s expectations.
He then asked Kujo Aino about the Kujo family’s true intention. Is their aim just to control him? Besides this "honey trap," what other means do they have prepared?
Kujo Aino said she was also unsure about the true thoughts of the high-ranking members, but there must be other methods because, considering the head of the family’s character, they would definitely not only prepare one path.
Chu Jiang guessed that when he said he wanted to go overnight to get the Ghost Mirror, Kujo Yoshii clearly had the intention to dodge, obviously the real killer move was not fully prepared yet.
Finally, Chu Jiang asked for some more information, but Kujo Aino’s knowledge was limited. After all, in the eyes of the Kujo family, she was just a tool, and tools were not qualified to know too much.
Seeing this, Chu Jiang released his control over Kujo Aino. After Aino regained consciousness, her eyes initially showed a terrified expression.
However, a few seconds later, she didn’t withdraw but moved forward instead.
Kujo Aino approached and hugged Chu Jiang, large tears quickly streaming down her eyes. "Sir Chu Jiang, please save me. I have no choice. If I don’t do this, the Kujo family will kill me."
"Now I have revealed all the secrets to you. If the Kujo family finds out later, my fate will be even worse than death."
"Then kill yourself now," Chu Jiang said emotionlessly.
Kujo Aino looked stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously. "I don’t want to die…"
