Chapter 180: Controlling Hyuga Rinmei

"Is this how you ask for help, Madam?"

Hyuga Rinmei froze in place upon hearing this.

Shishou turned around, looking at Rinmei's dignified and cold face, and laughed.

"As I mentioned earlier, I didn't really want to treat you, Madam."

"But you just now seemed to think that being examined by me was taking advantage of you."

"This has put me in a very bad mood, so now I don't want to examine you or treat you anymore."

Rinmei's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this. She hadn't expected that her earlier unintended actions would offend him.

"My lord, I..."

Just as Rinmei was about to explain, Shishou grabbed her mouth and dragged her in front of him.

"Madam, I admit you are very charming." Shishou caressed Rinmei's delicate body and said again, "But I also have plenty of beauties like you around me."

"So, you were overestimating yourself just now."

Hearing this, Rinmei thought of the rumors about him and Mizukage Mei Terumi, and then about Tsunade's entanglements with him.

She realized how ridiculous it was to think that he wanted to take advantage of her.

Mei Terumi was the Fifth Mizukage of the Mist Village, and Tsunade was the future Fifth Hokage of the Leaf Village.

Both of them not only had looks that were no less than hers, but their status and power far surpassed hers. With these two around him, it was obvious he wouldn't fancy her.

Of course, if Rinmei knew Shishou's preferences, she might not think so.

Shishou finished speaking and injected a stream of life energy into her.

Feeling her body enveloped by a warm power and rapidly recovering, Rinmei was momentarily stunned.

Then she quickly realized that he was treating her, and her heart was slightly moved.

She was now very sure that this man in front of her could indeed cure her.

The thought of not having to leave Hinata and Hanabi, not having to die young, almost made Rinmei cry with excitement.

"The treatment just now can let you live for another two months. The rest, you will have to fend for yourself."

Seeing Rinmei's expression, Shishou smiled, released his control over her, and casually threw her onto the tatami, preparing to leave.

Because of the oppression of the branch family by the main family, he had no good feelings for any Hyuga main family members other than Hinata and Hanabi.

Anyway, he already got what he wanted, and with Natsu by his side, Rinmei was no longer important to him.

Being able to control her would naturally be the best, but if not, it didn't matter.

His earlier actions were to let her feel the hope of life and then plunge her into despair. This way, he could break her psychological defense and completely control her.

"My lord, I was wrong."

Seeing the hope of survival, Rinmei could no longer care about her status. She grabbed Shishou's clothes and pleaded.

If she hadn't experienced the hope of life, she might have accepted her fate unwillingly but without losing face. But he had shown her hope.

The huge psychological gap from regaining life to imminent death completely shattered her resolve as the mother of the clan.

Seeing Rinmei at his feet, Shishou raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly noticed something, grabbed Rinmei by the neck, and lifted her in front of him, carefully examining her eyes.

Feeling the pain of being grabbed by the neck, Rinmei didn't dare to move, fearing to offend him, letting him examine her as he pleased.

The next moment, the surroundings changed, and Rinmei found herself in a room similar to an operating room.

Is this the Flying Thunder God technique?

Rinmei thought, somewhat startled.

"Lie down."

Turning on the lab light, Shishou pointed to the operating table in the middle.

He had just discovered that Rinmei's eyes matched the description of the special Byakugan on the Hyuga stone monument.

Thinking that she was Hinata and Hanabi's mother, he realized she probably also possessed special Byakugan, so he brought her to his lab for a detailed examination.

"Yes, my lord."

Rinmei, whose psychological defenses were already broken by Shishou, obediently climbed onto the operating table and lay down.

Wearing only a nightgown, her graceful curves were fully revealed as she lay down.

Tsk, as expected of Hinata and Hanabi's mother, quite... voluptuous...

Coming to Rinmei's side, Shishou glanced at her exaggerated curves and couldn't help but admire again.

Then, he turned on the operating light and carefully examined Rinmei's Byakugan.

There is a simple way to identify the special Byakugan: look for other colors in the eyes.

Hinata and Hanabi's Byakugan contained faint purple and blue hues, barely noticeable unless observed closely.

Rinmei's eyes contained extremely faint gold, indicating she also had special Byakugan.

"It really is a special Byakugan."

Shishou was delighted after the examination.

"My lord, what is a special Byakugan?"

Lying on the operating table, revealing herself completely to Shishou, Rinmei felt uneasy.

"Hehe, you'll find out in the future."

Shishou patted her cheek and continued, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-eight." Although unsure why he asked, Rinmei answered honestly.

Twenty-eight?

So, she married and had children at eighteen or nineteen.

It seems Rinmei only has two years left to awaken the Tenseigan.

Thinking this, Shishou began to remove her nightgown.

"My lord..."

Rinmei trembled with fear.

Shishou looked at her calmly and said:

"From now on, you are mine."

Since Rinmei had the special Byakugan that could awaken the Tenseigan, Shishou wouldn't let her go.

"This..."

Rinmei was incredulous. She was the main wife of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi's wife, and now suddenly his?

And he just seemed uninterested in her.

Why was he so domineering now?

Regardless of Rinmei's shock, Shishou continued:

"You can try to resist."

"But for each act of defiance, I will punish you."

"If you behave, not only will I cure your ailment, but I won't touch you."

"Madam, you understand what I mean, right?"

Rinmei stiffened, understanding his implication.

Remembering the rumors about the Flying Thunder God user and knowing that the terrifyingly powerful Shishou claimed he wasn't a match, Rinmei hesitated but finally nodded.

"You must keep your promise, don't touch me..."

Shishou chuckled:

"Madam, I always keep my word."

Then, he pressed his fingers on her and began the treatment.

"Note: Let's call her Rimei/Rinmei as I am too lazy to edit."
