Li Wei watched Kagura Manki's retreating figure and chuckled, "Miss Manki is truly an interesting person. She seems to possess the mindset of a young girl, which is quite rare. Chizuru, you've been burdened by worldly affairs." Kagura Chizuru replied, "The position of Guardian Shrine Maiden is a long story."
As twins who understand each other perfectly, how could Chizuru Kagura not know that her older sister sacrificed her entire life in exchange for her relative freedom and the ability to be involved in worldly affairs? For the twins of the Kagura family, this is a kind of happiness, because it means that they still have a certain degree of choice, unlike the other twin who inherits the position of guardian priestess and can only live a lonely life.
The reason for this is that the Kagura family's training method has a flaw. Although it can enable women to quickly develop combat power, it has the restriction that they cannot lose their virginity. Once they lose their virginity, most of their strength will dissipate, and it would be considered good if they could retain half of their strength.
This is why the Kagura sisters have always divided their roles: one will bear children, while the other will remain unmarried and pure to maintain peak combat power until the next generation succeeds. The succession of the Guardian Priestess is generally a cycle of 30 to 50 years, which means that becoming a Guardian Priestess means spending the best years of one's life fighting against the Orochi Familia.
By the time the next generation of guardian priestesses grows up, the previous generation has already aged and lost their youth. This is the price of becoming a guardian priestess.
Li Wei said, "I know a little about it. Miss Wan Gui sacrificed everything. However, if my plan goes smoothly, humanity will no longer be threatened by the giant serpent. As a result, the Three Sacred Treasures families will also complete their historical mission and no longer be troubled by fate."
Kagura Chizuru looked at Li Wei in surprise. She had originally thought Li Wei's plan was only aimed at the Eight Orochi Generals, but she hadn't expected him to directly target Orochi. She wondered what gave Li Wei the confidence to utter such arrogant words. Kagura Chizuru said, "Li Wei-kun, are you serious?"
Li Wei said, "Of course, after all, the Great Serpent is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over humanity's head. Although in ancient times, when human technology was still relatively primitive, the Great Serpent served as humanity's guardian for a long time, now that humanity has set its sights on outer space and is preparing to leap out of this cradle, the Great Serpent has become a burden. Because of the pollution and destruction that humanity has caused to the natural environment, it wants to wipe out all of humanity. Such a Great Serpent is not in humanity's interest. Therefore, I am prepared to completely eliminate the Great Serpent."
Kagura Chizuru stared in surprise, unsure whether to call Li Wei arrogant or ignorant. After all, they were just ordinary people who, despite possessing superhuman strength, were still subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, while Orochi was a "god."
The fact that the Kagura family ancestors were able to seal away a "god" with their mortal bodies was already an incredible feat in Kagura Chizuru's eyes. However, Li Wei wanted to completely destroy Orochi and solve the problem once and for all. Such an idea was something the ancestors of the Three Sacred Treasures families wouldn't even dare to consider. ... Please give me flowers.
Kagura Chizuru said, "Li Weijun, I can only say that your idea is very good, but there are probably still some problems in terms of specific implementation."
Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely certain that's why I dare to say this. We'll see the results by the new millennium at the latest. However, this plan requires the power of the three sacred treasure families. I don't trust the Kusanagi family or the Yasakani family. The only people I can trust are you, Chizuru, and Manki."
Chizuru Kagura nodded. She didn't know what to say anymore, but after all, Li Wei was a major investor who had provided the Kagura family with fifty million US dollars, so whatever Li Wei said went.
Kagura Chizuru said, "Li Weijun, you just got off the plane and probably haven't had a meal yet. I've prepared some food here, and I hope it suits your taste."
0……0 Li Wei nodded and followed Kagura Chizuru back to the mansion. Joan and Sakazaki Yuri were casually strolling around the mansion at the time. When they saw Li Wei and Kagura Chizuru, they seemed a little reserved.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Miss Qianhe invited us to a dinner party, come along."
The group arrived at the banquet hall inside the mansion. The traditional banquet hall gave people the illusion of traveling through time. Li Wei and Kagura Chizuru sat down in the main seats, while Joan and Sakazaki Yuri sat on either side.
Yuri Sakazaki was used to this kind of scene. After seeing Levi start to pick up his chopsticks, she decisively started eating as well. This was the first time Joan had encountered such a situation. She was not very familiar with the dining etiquette in Japan, so she could only imitate Yuri Sakazaki's behavior.
However, Chizuru Kagura was quite considerate. Knowing of Kyon's existence, when preparing the meal, she made Kyon's portion authentic French cuisine, and the cutlery was the knife and fork that Kyon was most familiar with.
Li Wei enjoyed the food full of Japanese flavor. When he first arrived in Japan, he absolutely did not eat raw food. After learning that an average of more than 3,000 people in Japan contracted parasitic diseases from eating seafood every year, and more than 200 died on average, Li Wei, who valued his life, never ate seafood sashimi, for fear that he might be unlucky and get infected.
However, he no longer has such concerns and can simply enjoy the food. In ancient times, coastal areas of Japan also had a tradition of eating raw fish. However, with changes in the times and lifestyles, fewer people in Japan eat raw fish now, especially in Japan, where most people are willing to risk parasitic diseases because of their cravings.
Chapter 272. Limitations of the Kagura Family's Techniques
After the dinner, Joan and Yuri Sakazaki returned to the guest rooms arranged for them by Kagura's family. After all, the more than ten hours of transoceanic flight, while not physically exhausting, was quite mentally taxing.
Both Joan and Yuri needed to adjust to the time difference, and Li Wei, who had nothing to do for the time being, didn't plan to wander around any longer. He went back to his guest room and closed his eyes to rest.
Although sleep is now dispensable to him, it allows his constantly working thought processes to rest.
However, because all of Li Wei's thought circuits were in a dormant state, the Gis puppet also fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, the Gis puppet sorted out all the affairs at hand and told his secretary not to disturb his rest. Then, the Gis puppet locked himself in his office lounge and "slept".
A few hours later, at "053", Levi and the Gis puppet woke up at the same time. After resting, Levi felt that his thought process, which had been in a state of deep thinking for a long time, had been buffered to some extent, and he felt very clear-headed.
After waking up, the puppet left his building, took a car to the airport, and prepared to board a passenger plane to Europe to meet Krauser.
Meanwhile, Li Wei pretended that he had already adjusted his biological clock and was keeping the same routine as everyone else around him.
When Li Wei opened the paper door to the guest room, he saw Kagura Manki sitting in the corridor outside. At this moment, she deliberately maintained a dignified posture, and with the Yata no Kagami hanging around her neck removed, if Li Wei hadn't had the ability to sense and see through her disguise from the source, he would have really been fooled by her.
Kagura Maki maintained her reserved smile and said, "Li Wei-kun, did you rest well?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "You slept soundly, just like you were back home. Miss Wan Gui, are you here so early because you have something important to tell me?"
Upon hearing Li Wei expose his identity, Kagura Manki's smile froze for a moment before he said, "How did you see through my identity? My disguise was flawless." In Li Wei's view, while Kagura Manki's disguise was impressive, it could only fool ordinary people. No Qi cultivator with any senses would be fooled by such a disguise.
In Li Wei's perception, everyone's "identification code" is different. This is the frequency of the soul, the most core identification information of each person. Unlike the physical body, which can be modified through plastic surgery, the "identification code" of the soul can only be faked if the imposter has the ability to cast spells.
Li Wei smiled and said, "In my eyes, Miss Wan Gui, you and Qian He are both unique beings in this world, so it's perfectly normal for me to recognize your identity at a glance."
Kagura Maki was somewhat surprised, but what surprised her most was that Li Wei addressed her younger sister Chizuru not as "Ms. Kagura" or "Miss Chizuru," but as the slightly intimate "Chizuru." This indicated that Li Wei also had a good impression of Chizuru.
Her first impression of Li Wei was quite good. He was polite and had a particularly warm smile. If it weren't for the fact that she had to remain chaste as a guardian priestess, she would have wanted to take him for herself. Li Wei's personality was much more lively than Chizuru's. If it weren't for the constraints of her identity as a guardian priestess, she could have been incredibly carefree.
As a young woman at the age where she loves to have fun, Kagura Maki also has her own desires. When her desires for love and family are not fulfilled, she pours her desires into entertainment activities, such as motorcycle racing and video games.
Although she reluctantly agreed to participate in the first motorcycle race only at Chizuru's request, she quickly fell in love with the speed and passion of motorcycles. She went to participate in the races on her own and even taught herself how to repair and modify motorcycles. Several motorcycles that she had modified were parked in the garage of her mansion.
Besides motorcycle racing, she also collects the latest game consoles and various game cartridges.
Kagura Maki had a feeling that Li Wei would be a rather interesting person.
Kagura Manki said, "Li Wei-kun, you are the first person to see through my disguise. When I was disguised as Chizuru before, no one could see through my disguise. Originally, I wanted to disguise myself as Chizuru to test you, Li Wei-kun, but now, it seems that there is no way to do so."
Li Wei laughed and said, "So, Miss Wan Gui, you might as well just get straight to the point?"
Kagura Manki said, "Yes, since we are allies, it's natural to share information to some extent. Moreover, I think I can be of help to you, Li Weijun. Chizuru thinks your idea is unbelievable, but I don't think so. If we can get rid of Orochi once and for all, then I can be considered one of the biggest beneficiaries..."
Kagura Maki was willing to sacrifice her entire life for her younger sister's happiness, but she was not resigned to it. So when Chizuru told her about Li Wei's plan, she was tempted.
Happiness doesn't fall from the sky; you have to strive for it. This is a saying her mother once taught her, and she thinks it makes a lot of sense.
Therefore, for her own happiness, Kagura Maki chose to believe that Li Wei could completely resolve the Orochi problem before the millennium. At that time, she would be less than thirty years old and would still have the opportunity to pursue her own happiness.
Li Wei said, "You've had a tough time because of the cultivation techniques."
Kagura Maki laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the older sister, and it's only natural for me to protect my younger sister."
Li Wei sighed inwardly. As the older sister, it was her duty to protect her younger sister, but when the older sister made sacrifices, who would protect her?
Kagura Maki doesn't like to concern herself with worldly affairs, and she has the right to be willful because she has given everything for Chizuru. Chizuru, who is in tune with Maki, also understands and is considerate of her older sister. As twins with a 2.8 bond, this shared understanding makes them unlike ordinary twins who would have their relationship strained by trivial matters.
Li Wei said, "I understand Miss Wan Gui's situation. I will deal with the giant snake as soon as possible and end the tragic fate of the Three Sacred Treasures family."
Kagura Maki nodded and said, "The entrance isn't the place to talk. Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Li Wei asked in surprise, "This is a men's room."
Kagura Manki laughed and said, "Knowing the characteristics of the cultivation technique I practice, Li Weijun, you can't possibly have any designs on me. I'm quite clear about that."
Kagura Manki knew very well that what Li Wei wanted was a reliable ally, and that was why Li Wei would maintain a safe distance from her to prevent anything drastic from happening.
Chapter 273. The Issue of Face
The guest room that Kagura had prepared for Li Wei was very well-equipped, and even had a small lounge inside. However, leisure activities were quite "basic" these days, so it was quite boring for one person to stay here, unless Li Wei was given a book, in which case he could kill some time.
The two entered the lounge, and Kagura Maki pulled up the paper door.
"Li Weijun, could you tell me your impressions of Chizuru?" Kagura Manki asked, sitting down.
"Is it really that straightforward?" Li Wei asked, somewhat surprised.
Kagura Manki laughed and said, "Chizuru can be coy, but I don't need to."
Kagura Maki felt a little regretful. Because of her cultivation technique, she had to remain chaste, which prevented her from having any worldly desires. It was also because she had high standards that she didn't have too many worries in this regard. If an ordinary girl wanted to do something like this, she would have to suffer a lot more.
Li Wei said, "Qianhe is a good girl, but unfortunately, I don't really dare to mess with such a good girl, after all, the situation around me is complicated."
Kagura Maki said, "I see... That is a troublesome matter. Although it is very common for women to have multiple wives and concubines in Japan, the Kagura family has always been run by women. This is indeed quite difficult."
The Kagura family also has its own dignity. In fact, in aristocratic circles, one's reputation is what matters most. If you have face, many things are easier to do. Once you lose face, it means your connections in the circle are damaged.
The Kagura family has always required its heads of husbands to be absolutely loyal; this is the bare minimum standard.
Although the Kagura family was only a samurai, they held a superior position within the samurai community. While their wealth could not compare to that of the nobility, their status was not much different. The Kusanagi family and the Yasakani family were similar, both enjoying the treatment of nobility despite their samurai status.
This privilege has also made many families eye the Three Sacred Treasures family, hoping to see them make a fool of themselves. This is also why the heads of the Kagura family have always been strict with their partners. In the end, it all comes down to face.
Li Wei said, "After all, the Kagura family also cares about their reputation, and I have more than one girl around me. Although I have feelings for Chizuru, I still know my limits. Of course, in my opinion, the so-called aristocratic circles in Japan are nothing more than a bunch of pathetic creatures sticking together for warmth. I don't care about their opinions, but as the head of the Kagura family, Chizuru needs to consider the Kagura family's reputation, even if the so-called Kagura family only consists of her and you, Ms. Kagura Manki." Kagura Manki laughed and said, "That's where she's constrained. I don't care about such things. When you meet someone you like, take the initiative and pursue your own happiness. My mother once said that those who don't actively pursue happiness will never find it."
Li Wei laughed and said, "However, Miss Wan Gui, you are a guardian priestess, and you cannot have your own feelings until your mission is completed. Moreover, ordinary men will not wait for you for decades."
Kagura Manki sighed, spread her hands, and said helplessly, "This is the problem I'm facing. I don't care about those superficial issues of face, but I have no choice right now. It's because the Kagura family's cultivation method has flaws."
However, Kagura Manki did not consider the family's cultivation method to be trash because of this incident. It was a price to pay for the rapid progress, as it allowed a girl who was powerless to gain great strength in just two or three years, and the requirement to remain chaste.
The Kagura family's cultivation technique can directly enhance a cultivator's strength regardless of their aptitude. Such a technique would be a bug-level existence if one did not have to protect their virginity.
This technique is considered the foundation of the Kagura family, enabling generations of Kagura sisters to protect themselves in an environment surrounded by wolves.
Li Wei said, "Don't worry, the millennium will surely determine the victor, and at that time, Miss Wan Gui, you will be free."
Kagura Manki's sitting posture wasn't quite standard, and her exposed fair feet caught Li Wei's eye. Li Wei wasn't a foot fetishist, but Kagura Manki's feet were truly beautiful, and even he, who wasn't a foot fetishist, couldn't help but take a second look.
Kagura Manki looked at Li Wei and smiled, "The millennium... there are still nine years left. At that time, I will be 29 years old. Will you think I am old, Li Wei?"
Li Wei asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Kagura Maki gave him a look that said, "I'm just pretending to be stupid," and said, "Because I heard that no matter how old a man is, he will always like an 18-year-old girl. I was 29 years old at that time."
Li Wei imagined a mature female version of Kagura Manki, and he felt his nose getting itchy. The Manki in front of him was already enough to make his mouth dry, and if she were any more mature, it would be truly unbearable.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Miss Wan Gui, you are like a fine wine, the longer you age, the better you become. Time will only add to the charm of your beauty."
"Hahaha, Li Wei, I really like what you said. I hope that when the time comes, you will still say the same thing." Kagura Manki looked at Li Wei, her eyes filled with a hint of moisture.
Li Wei said with a helpless expression, "I owe enough debts, Miss Wan Gui."
Kagura Manki realized that she had come to gather intelligence for her sister, but now she was the one observing Li Wei.
However, Kagura Maki believes that someone like 053 Li Wei, wherever he goes, will attract women's attention. For women, he's practically a walking pink potion; other women aren't blind, and they'd surely recognize Li Wei's charm. So even if Li Wei has a childhood sweetheart, she'd probably find it hard to resist such pressure.
She had feelings for Li Wei, and so did the other women. So, it was perfectly normal for Li Wei to say that he had many girls around him.
Kagura Maki compared herself to her younger sister Chizuru in her mind. Although Chizuru had relative freedom, she still had to pay attention to the family's reputation unless she gave up the position of head of the family. But the key point was that Chizuru didn't even have any descendants. Who would inherit the position of head of the family?
