“Qianjie is too kind. He could never accept my plan. As for Pado... I hope she never gets involved in something that concerns the survival of the world. You are my only choice.”

Jojo said slowly, "Then... let's be the demon king and witch who destroy the world together, Sakura."

[Through your father's arrangement as a member of the Firemoth Council, you successfully entered the Firemoth headquarters as a priest.]

On your first day at the headquarters of the Firemoth, you arranged for Sakura to meet with Dr. Mei, who was then a researcher, and obtain from her a list of the world's high-ranking officials. You then marked an X on each person's photo.

On your second day at the Firemoth headquarters, you applied to become your father's adjutant in exchange for the right to join the Firemoth's high-level council. Your father was very pleased with your active participation in the Firemoth cause and promoted you to his adjutant.

On your third day at the Flame Chaser headquarters, you attended a meeting of Flame Chaser's top brass. Removing your glasses, you stood on the podium and declared, "Fellow councilors of Flame Chaser, you now have two choices: first, 'Submit to me,' and second, 'Die!'"

Upon hearing your speech, the higher-ups at Moth Chaser immediately changed their expressions, calling for guards at headquarters and yelling at you, "Kid, do you think you can get away unscathed after doing something like this?"

Although the higher-ups of the Firefly Moth were themselves unremarkable and powerless, they were all very confident and did not believe that Jojo could kill them at the Firefly Moth headquarters.

[But the next second, Sakura, wielding the Frost Prison Ice Heaven, walked in. She had already dealt with all the bodyguards outside the venue, making the rest of the work much simpler.]

As Sakura stepped into the conference room, the Moth of Flames' executives immediately panicked. Having once been Sakura's superiors, they were acutely aware of the girl's formidable strength.

After witnessing Sakura's betrayal, the higher-ups of the Firemoth all begged for your mercy, but you only left them with the words, "Remember to clean up the mess."

After you turned and left with peace of mind, Sakura easily slaughtered all the high-ranking members of the Fire Moth.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 500 crystals.]

After dealing with all the high-ranking members of the Firemoth organization one by one, you locked your father in the house and placed him under house arrest.

[Congratulations, host, on once again earning the title of "Extraordinary Filial Son" and receiving 100 crystals.]

News of the death of a high-ranking member of Firemoth arrived, and your father, for unknown reasons, fell seriously ill and was no longer able to manage Firemoth. As his sole heir, you successfully seized control of Firemoth's power, with only Dr. Mei able to stand on equal footing with you within the organization.

[Dr. Mei despises you, you ruthless villain, but when you appeared, she was overwhelmed by the political infighting within the Firemoth hierarchy, and your arrival conveniently helped her resolve many difficulties.]

Furthermore, you and Dr. Mei are keeping the truth about the murder of the Firemoth's higher-ups a secret. To prevent the truth from being revealed, she has to maintain a good relationship with you.

[You and Dr. Mei often have secret conversations in a secluded room, and even when Kevin asks her questions, she can only give vague answers, which makes you deeply resentful towards Kevin.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

Wow, did I set my death flag so quickly?

Will I still get 100 Water Crystals if Kevin holds a grudge against me?

I'd better make sure I get along well with Dr. Mei from now on!

After you took control of the Firemoth faction, you discovered that many within it were dissatisfied with your rule. Their thinking was simple: how could the Firemoth faction possibly fight against the Honkai under the leadership of a rich second-generation like you?

[You showed no mercy to these opponents, allowing Sakura to lead the Poison Chrysalis to swiftly capture them all. Soon, the prisons at the Firemoth headquarters were insufficient.]

The members of the Firemoth harbor resentment towards you, but because of your power, they can only swallow their anger.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 300 crystals.]

Having tasted the power, you immediately ordered Velvi, one of the future Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser, to build you a prison called the Deepest Depths.

[You should know that designing prisons is Velvi's forte, but at first she was very resistant to designing and building them for you. However, you allocated so much research funding that she had no choice but to accept it.]

[The next morning, you receive an email from Dr. Möbius, who claims to be developing a technology that grants immortality and hopes to get your investment. However, you have no interest in immortality, so you ignore the email. Poor Möbius, furious, goes to your door intending to give you a piece of her mind, but on the way, she encounters Qian Jie. Möbius barely opens her mouth to curse Qiao Qiao before she starts fighting with Qian Jie, reducing Möbius's physical age by 1.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

One day, while searching for information about the Herrscher of Death's core in Velvet's research lab, you suddenly saw a striking, long-haired girl clad in black armor—Hua.

The moment you saw Hua, you involuntarily stopped in your tracks. Coincidentally, the girl also looked up, then froze on the spot, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

[You've already investigated Hua from this era; she did indeed live in Canghai City as a child, but she's never had any connection with you.]

Knowing that you are meeting Hua for the first time, you say to her, "Hello, miss, my name is Qiao Qiao, nice to meet you."

Hearing your distant tone, Hua seemed a little surprised, then nodded stiffly and said, "Qiaoqiao, what are you doing here?"

[You noticed Fu Hua's expression was a little strange, but didn't pay much attention, replying directly, "I have something to do in the Velvet Research Lab."]

[Having said that, you turned to leave, but Fu Hua suddenly called out to you from behind.]

"Wait... Qiaoqiao, you want to go find Velvi, right?" Fu Hua turned around and said with a light laugh, "I'll go with you, how about it?"

Chapter Fifty-Three: Hua, I'm already married.

You did not refuse Fu Hua's request to accompany you, and went with her into Velvet's research lab—the Spiral Workshop.

[In the Spiral Workshop, you meet the magician Velvet, who says she'll demonstrate a magic trick to make someone disappear from the world. She then launches a missile using a cannon in the workshop.]

But the missile changed course mid-flight, veered off target, and flew towards you.

Just as you were about to be hit by the missile, Fu Hua rushed over and pulled you away from its trajectory, preventing you from dying on the spot.

[As you watched the missile blast a huge crater into the workshop, you angrily exclaimed, "You call this magic? I think you're not the magician Velvie, but the truly wicked Velvie!"]

"Hmm...strange..." Velvi fell silent for a moment, as if asking the other Velvi within her body, before suddenly saying, "It seems that the other 'me' modified my magic tools a little bit without my knowledge..."

What kind of magic prop can be transformed into a missile with just a slight modification?!

[Vilvie waved her hand casually and said, "It's no big deal. With your incredible resilience, this little trick can't possibly kill you."]

Can you please stop describing people like cockroaches?

[Vilvie smiled and said, "There was a slight mishap, but it's alright. Weren't you quite startled by my exquisite magic trick just now? Weren't you surprised? Weren't you taken aback?"]

It was a pleasant surprise, a real shock; I almost lost my life.

My anger is at its peak.

If you weren't one of my wives, I would personally step in and give you a powerful punch.

[You showed no interest in Velvi's welcoming magic trick, and said, "Compared to this boring charade, how is your preparation for the 'deepest secret' I'm about to reveal?"]

[Upon hearing this, Velvi lowered her hat brim and said with a happy smile, "I am Velvi, a genius inventor unparalleled in the world. Building a prison cell is as simple as drinking water for me."]

As she spoke, Velvi confidently handed you a design sketch.

[But when you looked at the design drawings that Velvet gave you, your expression immediately turned grim. You did indeed ask her to create a unique prison cell, but it was clear... Velvet had added her own creative touches, making it seem to deviate somewhat from the definition of a prison.]

"This is a creation of my genius inventor, it must be a groundbreaking and exquisite invention," Velvi excitedly told Jojo. "I installed an automatic audio holographic projector in this prison, so the prisoners can watch the amazing magic shows of the great magician Velvi without leaving their cells. Each cell also has a poster of the famous star Eden, and a virtual reality game console. Just put on the VR glasses and you can immerse yourself in the game. Most importantly... no one can escape this prison. If someone escapes, it will trigger the final surprise, and the entire deepest part will explode with a giant firework!"

Upon hearing Velvi's explanation, you immediately slammed the design drawings on the table: "You can watch movies, attend concerts, and play games? Is this a prison or a hotel? Change all of these things right now!"

Seeing your angry expression, Velvi looked quite surprised: "This is the creation of the greatest inventor of this century, how can it be changed so easily?"

[When you saw that Velvi wouldn't listen, you simply made a phone call announcing budget cuts to Velvi. You realized that if you cut their funding, Velvi would come up with all sorts of outlandish things—today it's satellites and missiles, tomorrow it might be an Earth laser defense fortress.]

[You told Velvi to come up with new design drawings as soon as possible, otherwise the research funding would be cut again. Velvi, having tasted the iron fist of capital, was completely dumbfounded. You see, she had already completed the design of 'The Deepest Place,' and only construction was left. Now, reworking it would take far too much time and effort.]

[Vilvie initially wanted to argue with you, but seeing the look in your eyes, and to prevent her research funding from being cut again, she had no choice but to redesign it as you suggested.]

After leaving the Spiral Workshop, you and Fu Hua went to the forests of Australia to hunt a Judgment-class Honkai Beast—Midoro.

The Midorima resembles a butterfly in appearance and is extremely beautiful. During the day, its wings emit a golden glow like the sun, while at night, its entire body glows with a cool, ethereal light like the moon.

When you and Fu Hua discovered Midorima, it was bathing in moonlight in the forest, its body radiating an ethereal blue glow.

The instant you spotted your prey, two ghostly crimson horns sprouted from your forehead, and you gripped a blade crackling with purple lightning, using the Seven Thunderbolts of Purification to wound its wings.

Startled, Mithra immediately flapped its wings and took flight, fleeing towards the sea.

[You stepped on his back and used the Seven Thunderbolts of Purification to finish off Mitralok's wings, while Fu Hua killed him instantly with a single move of the Void Sword Qi.]

After Mithra died, he quickly fell from the sky into the ocean. You and Fu Hua also landed in the water and swam to a deserted island.

Qiao Qiao sat naked on the beach, while Fu Hua, with her fair and smooth skin exposed, sat by the campfire grilling fish on another fallen tree trunk on the shore.

When the two of them came ashore, they were soaking wet and had to take off their outer clothes and put them on the campfire to dry.

Bored on the shore, Qiaoqiao examined the bottle in her hand filled with dark blue scales. This was the body tissue she had taken from Midoro, containing its Honkai Beast genes.

As Fu Hua grilled fish by the campfire, he would occasionally glance at Qiao Qiao's pretty face. Seizing the opportunity, he picked up a grilled fish, walked over to Qiao Qiao, and sat down next to her: "Qiao Qiao, how does my grilled fish taste?"

When Qiao Qiao saw Fu Hua taking the initiative to approach her, she was stunned. She knew that in the last Sims, if Qiao Qiao hadn't threatened her, Fu Hua would never have been willing to get close to her.

Aside from Qiao Qiao taking advantage of her, the only physical contact the two had was probably... fighting.

But in this Sims, she actually took the initiative to approach him, a change that was quite significant.

This is normal, since Qiao Qiao did not offend Fu Hua in this simulation, so Fu Hua would not be as cold towards her as she was in the last simulation.

Qiaoqiao didn't stand on ceremony with Fuhua. She took the grilled fish and took a bite. The skin was crispy and soft, and the meat inside was plump and juicy. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Hua, your cooking skills are really amazing."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua blushed slightly and said shyly, "It's just some ordinary home-cooked food, nothing to brag about. If there's a chance in the future, I'll cook you a big meal from my hometown."

In this era, although Qiao Qiao and Fu Hua only met yesterday, they are actually already familiar with each other.

Not to mention Fu Hua's house, Qiao Qiao had been to Fu Hua's bedroom countless times, so she didn't stand on ceremony with her and said, "Then it's settled between us."

Perhaps because it was just the two of them, a man and a woman, alone on the deserted island, Fu Hua felt a little nervous. She turned to look at the bottle full of scale powder in your hand and asked, "Qiao Qiao, what do you want the powder from Midorima's wings for?"

As Qiao Qiao ate the grilled fish, she suddenly realized that although she had asked Fu Hua for help, she hadn't told her anything yet. She quickly explained, "I forgot to tell you, the 'Deepest Place' that I had Wilvi make, and this Midorro scale powder, are gifts for my wife."

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Fu Hua froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Even the grilled fish in his hand lost its flavor, and he dropped it to the ground, saying incredulously, "Qiao Qiao, you have a wife?"

Qiao Qiao looked at Fu Hua's surprised expression and felt a little strange, but after all, Fu Hua did not have the memory of the last Sims game.

The strong reaction is probably because they find it unbelievable that I got married at such a young age.

Qiao Qiao casually raised her ring finger, which was adorned with her wedding ring, and said, "You don't believe me? This is our wedding ring."

Upon seeing the diamond ring on Qiao Qiao's ring finger, Fu Hua froze on the spot, but he still had to accept the fact that he was already married. Feeling depressed, he lowered his head and asked casually, "What kind of woman is your wife?"

Seeing Fu Hua suddenly calm down, Qiao Qiao became even more convinced that Fu Hua's earlier reaction stemmed from disbelief that Qiao Qiao was married at such a young age. Without hesitation, she spoke about Aponia: "Her name is Aponia. She's a nun from Twilight Street. She's kind-hearted and gentle, and she's my goddess. I've liked her for six years, and we got married recently. She's currently at my house. To be honest, I came to the Moth of Flames headquarters because of her."

Hearing you happily recount the story of Aponia, Fu Hua's expression grew even more unpleasant. Hearing the man she liked talk about the good qualities of other women made her feel like she was wearing a bunch of green hats on her head.

Any other woman would probably have run away crying, but Fu Hua couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, she had personally killed Qiao Qiao, who had once deeply loved her...

So, Fu Hua could only suppress her inner turmoil and give a perfunctory reply: "Is that so...then your relationship as husband and wife must be very good, right?"

Fu Hua's words struck a nerve with Qiao Qiao, causing his previously high spirits to plummet: "I like her very much, but... Aponia hates me very much."

Upon hearing that Jojo and Aponia were having marital problems, Fu Hua was very surprised, even a little...happy... She immediately looked up and asked, "Why does she hate you?"

"I forced her to marry me using my family's power and influence, so after the marriage she locked herself in her room and tried to kill me every day..."

At this point, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for herself. She glanced at Fu Hua's expression and asked, "Do you think men like me who use any means necessary are despicable, just like her?"

Although Jojo felt very uncomfortable because Aponia hated her, Fu Hua couldn't suppress her secret joy.

"No..." Fu Hua was afraid of being misunderstood by Qiao Qiao, so she immediately reached out and grabbed Qiao Qiao's hand, and hurriedly explained, "I envy her for having a man who loves her as much as you do. If one day she finds out about your love for her, she will definitely regret it."
