21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 292 Time for a Bath After It’s Done

Sitting in the car prepared by the Maeda family, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi in their original clothes left Oyama Shrine.

The heavily damaged courtyard of Oyama Shrine and the other related cleanup work were the responsibility of the people from the Maeda family and those of Oyama Shrine. Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi did not need to concern themselves with these matters. After a fierce battle, what they needed now was a good rest and a rich and delicious dinner.

However, the car from the Maeda family did not take them back to their hotel but to a hot spring villa prepared by the Maeda family instead.

"Hiromi, are you still angry about what happened earlier?" Soaking in the hot spring, Yu Chen looked at Hiromi Jounouchi, who still seemed unhappy, sat next to her, and asked with concern.

"It's not about being angry; I just feel uncomfortable." Hiromi Jounouchi slightly shook her head. She certainly wouldn't be angry just because she disliked Yu Chen's method, but feeling uncomfortable was inevitable. "I didn't expect the Head of the Maeda Family didn't even bother to ask you where the remains of his ancestor had gone." Stay updated with novelbuddy

"The Head of the Maeda Family didn't ask, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew that even if he did, my answer would only be that the remains no longer existed." Yu Chen smiled faintly and explained to Hiromi Jounouchi, "From the moment he told me the seal was over Maeda Toshiie, he had already anticipated this outcome. In fact, this was the most appropriate result.

It solved the problem and also preserved the face of their Maeda family.

If it were known that their ancestor had turned into a demonic creature and nearly posed a threat to the entire city, the reputation of the Kanazawa Maeda family would have been utterly destroyed. Compared to the family's reputation, the weight of an ancestor's remains was clear to them."

"Still, I can't accept it. It would have been better if he at least asked!" Hiromi Jounouchi persisted in her discontent.

She didn't even know why she was upset. If the descendants didn't care whether their ancestor was reduced to dust, why should she, an outsider who had been fighting for her life just earlier, feel upset about it? This made Hiromi Jounouchi feel that her anger was not worth it, but she couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his girlfriend in such a sullen state, Yu Chen chuckled, wrapped his arms around her waist, and drew her into his embrace, letting her lean on his shoulder before he said, "To people like them, as long as they can protect their family's interests, they would be willing to die themselves, let alone worry about an ancestor who died who knows how many years ago.

Hiromi, you really don't need to be angry about such things. Why not think about something happy instead?"

"Whatever, I can't be helped," Hiromi Jounouchi huffed, finally understanding she was just being unnecessarily upset, but she still had a few concerns and asked, "So, what are you planning to do with Maeda Toshiie's remains, Mr. Yu Chen?"

"That's a set of bones that's only a step away from being Legendary, and having transformed from a corpse into a demonic creature and accumulated enough resentment from being sealed for over a hundred years! For a Necromancer, this is the perfect material.

If used to create a Death Knight, as long as the craft is sound, I'll definitely be able to create a Legendary-rank Death Knight." Yu Chen's eyes lit up as he spoke about this topic, clearly delighted and excited at having obtained a Sub-Legendary-level corpse.

Having the "Crimson Hymn," Hiromi Jounouchi naturally understood what kind of temptation and significance a Sub-Legendary corpse turned into living Lost Souls held for a Necromancer. In fact, if her own mindset hadn't entirely shifted yet, she, too, would have been eager to acquire such a body to create her own Death Knight.

However, for the current Hiromi Jounouchi, using human remains as material was still somewhat unacceptable.

"Now that the issue has been resolved, the academic conference can proceed as planned. Hiromi, you might want to think about what questions you should ask tomorrow at the academic society," Yu Chen said, seemingly trying to change the subject as he brought up the matter of the academic conference.

Upon hearing Yu Chen's words, Hiromi Jounouchi knew he was shifting the topic, but wanting to switch subjects as well, she obviously wouldn't continue discussing the earlier matter and followed Yu Chen's lead, "The technology behind an Artificial Womb isn't that difficult, amniotic fluid, placenta, and the womb itself—these are all replaceable.

The key issue is ensuring the embryo's normal development."

"The Flesh Womb spell ensures the normal development of the entity being nurtured using the essence within a large amount of flesh and blood. Clearly, we cannot directly use such methods in medical treatment. Hiromi, do you have any new thoughts after your discussion with Professor Soda?" Yu Chen also knew the difficulties involved with the technology and discussed them with Hiromi Jounouchi.

"Nutritional supply is the key, which I can ensure by following Professor Soda's suggestion of using specially formulated injections into an artificial placenta," Hiromi Jounouchi replied with her considerations, and her exchange with Professor Soda had given her quite a bit of inspiration, "Most of the failures in embryonic ex vivo development experiments abroad are due to malformations in embryonic development.

Clearly, this is caused by contamination or interference during the development process.

To solve these problems, we must first ensure a sterile environment during embryonic development. I plan to apply for a sterile lab at the hospital for this. Secondly..."

Talking about the project she was researching, Hiromi Jounouchi finally shifted her mood and began to speak enthusiastically.

Yu Chen was happy to see his girlfriend overcome her earlier gloom, but it obviously wasn't the right environment for discussing academic issues while soaking in a hot spring. So, after Hiromi Jounouchi spoke at length about the sterile issue with the Artificial Womb, Yu Chen interrupted her.

"Although I'd like to hear you continue, don't you think these issues aren't suitable for discussion while we're soaking here?" Yu Chen said with a smile to Hiromi Jounouchi, even making a teasing gesture on her body, which led to her playful scolding, "Let's get out first, dinner should already be ready. Don't you think it's better to eat and chat?"

"Humph! You do have a point," Hiromi Jounouchi huffed and stood up from the pool, walked over to the side to dry her body with a towel, and changed into a clean bathrobe.

Outside the bathroom, a grand feast was already well-prepared, waiting just for her and Yu Chen to enjoy.
