Chapter 121: The Island Nation's Secret Technique

"And that mysterious, enchanting woman is none other than me," Sakura Hanako said with a playful smile.

Wang Yanfen responded with a cold snort, her voice sharp and stern: "So you realize that you absolutely cannot expose yourself? Then why did you meet those two idiots from the Dragon Kingdom in the cherry blossom grove today? And you wore our island nation's kimono to meet them—are you afraid they might not realize you are from our island nation? I have told you countless times: unless absolutely necessary, our identity as people of the island nation must never be revealed! Do you have any idea that our ten-thousand-year grand plan cannot afford a single mistake?"

Wang Yanfen’s tone shifted, her expression turning fierce, and Sakura Hanako immediately paled with fright. "I... I’m sorry, Senior Sister... It was my carelessness..."

"What’s the use of saying sorry if something actually goes wrong? Baka!" Wang Yanfen rebuked her again. Sakura Hanako shuddered, her ample chest heaving slightly.

"There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'Jade must be carved to become a masterpiece.' If I don't teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn!" Wang Yanfen’s tone deepened, chillingly. "Take it off!"

"Yes..." Sakura Hanako bit her lower lip, her face deathly pale, but she eventually began to slowly untie her kimono. As the sash came undone, the blood-stained, silky garment slipped from her shoulders. Her skin, white as cherry blossoms, was revealed; her petite frame, coupled with her proud, full figure, was displayed entirely before Wang Yanfen.

Wang Yanfen couldn't help but swallow hard, saying coldly, "Not bad... It has only been a short while, and your seduction arts have improved again! Your skin is as tender as milk, without a single scar or clogged pore. Most men would be so bewitched by you that they would lose their minds and die of exhaustion!"

Sakura Hanako bit her lip tightly and gave a slight nod. "You are too kind, Senior Sister... My seduction arts are not even a tenth of yours. Back in the day, when you performed your arts, half the men in our nation went mad..."

Wang Yanfen gave a lopsided grin and produced a long, thin cherry wood rod from somewhere. She raised it high and struck it fiercely against Sakura Hanako’s snowy, beautiful back!

*Smack!*

A sharp sound echoed. Sakura Hanako’s body jerked in pain, yet she gritted her teeth, refusing to let out a sound. Wang Yanfen snorted and raised the rod again!

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

The relentless strikes finally forced a cry of pain from Sakura Hanako. "Ah! Don't... ah... stop hitting me! Mmm... Senior Sister... I know I was wrong! Ah, please, don't hit me anymore... ah!"

Sakura Hanako’s beautiful white back was left raw and bruised, her alluring eyes brimming with tears. Only then did Wang Yanfen lower the rod, gently cradling Sakura Hanako’s shoulders. With a faint smile, she kissed her shoulder and whispered, "Junior Sister, it is not that I want to hurt you. I do this for your own good. Remember, you must hide your identity next time. Why do you think we don't have our own warriors go into the mountains to dig up the ancient tomb directly? Why do you think we do this? It is to avoid exposing our identity! If the authorities of the Dragon Kingdom were to take notice, things would become extremely difficult. I punish you so that you will remember to never be careless. If you ruin our grand plan, even I cannot save you!"

"Yes..." Sakura Hanako breathed weakly. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she frowned slightly. "What does Senior Sister intend to do now? That brat, Zeng Xiaofan, knows about our tomb; there will surely be consequences. Should I take action myself and make him disappear? Although his medical and martial skills are exceptional, I believe he won't be able to resist my seduction arts for more than a few rounds before I drain him dry."

Wang Yanfen shook her head slightly. "No. That man is very special; I cannot see through him. If your seduction attempt fails, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain. Leave him for now; as long as he does not continue to sabotage our operation, pretend he doesn't exist. We will deal with him later when the opportunity arises."

"Yes!" Sakura Hanako bowed respectfully once more.

Wang Yanfen frowned again. "Have you found suitable people in the Dragon Kingdom's feng shui circles to help us? It is better for us to operate from behind the scenes and let our local agents handle everything."

Sakura Hanako nodded. "Yes, Senior Sister! I have already scouted someone in Taoyuan County. Huang Daxuan of the Yin-Yang Carp Sect, whom I mentioned to you, is quite suitable. His skills are sufficient, he poses no threat to us, and he has a following we can utilize when necessary."

"Good! Then it is him. You will handle the specific cooperation. Remember, you may show your face and reveal your true appearance, but you must have a cover identity. You must never expose that you are a seductive ninja of our island nation!"

"Yes, Senior Sister!" Sakura Hanako straightened up, accidentally straining the wounds on her back, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.

Wang Yanfen looked on with a sense of pity, her fingers gently stroking Sakura Hanako’s shoulder, her eyes showing a hint of fanaticism and hunger. "Junior Sister... did I hurt you?" As she spoke, she leaned in to kiss Sakura Hanako’s shoulder again. This time, she did not stop, kissing her way up toward her neck with a dazed look in her eyes.

The enchanting Sakura Hanako felt it, her body stiffening slightly. She murmured seductively, "Se... Senior Sister... what... what are you doing?"

Wang Yanfen opened her eyes, which were hazy and alluring. She gave a crooked smile, gently took Sakura Hanako’s finger into her mouth,
