Great, now we are dead!

Ye Shou was unhappy but had no regrets.

After all, it's all for the sake of accumulating points to get the [God's Left Hand], which grants mastery over all weapons—it's definitely worth the month of grinding for it!

……

In the afternoon, Ruri was driven to a certain place in Shinjuku. She was wearing a school uniform and attracted a lot of attention (it was actually time to go to school, but Ye Shouyi forgot about school when he saw the new system card, so Ruri could only follow along).

Meanwhile, Kuze Kaede had already arrived and was sitting in the open-air café, a cup of iced coffee steaming on the table.

The men dressed in black hid in the crowd, protecting the lady's safety while trying their best not to attract attention.

"Madam, please forgive my lateness."

"No, it's still early. Actually, I've made an appointment with a third person."

Today, Ye Shou's mother wore a large straw hat and a light blue dress that looked refreshing and stylish, like a modern urban woman in her thirties. You couldn't tell at all that her son was already in high school.

She observed Liuli's expression with a smile, took a sip of iced coffee, and narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of mischief.

"It's Lucy-chan, you two should get along well!"

"...Yes, madam."

"Ah"

Feng suddenly stopped smiling, leaving only a faint, almost polite, curve.

"Before she arrives, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about, Ruri-chan."

"I am truly... humbled and trembling with fear."

Liuli immediately lowered her eyes, but Feng's next words made her raise her head in astonishment.

"Do you think Lucy or Chika is a better match for Mamoru?"

"This……"

Chapter 50 Mother Education

"It's Ms. Fujiwara."

— Liuli snapped out of her daze and answered immediately without thinking.

Is this some kind of test?

The maid had mixed feelings, but she wouldn't volunteer at a time like this and say, "Of course it's me" or "Mom, I love you."

"Indeed, Chika is a good fit in every way."

Kuze Kaede agreed without any surprise.

"With a clean family tradition and noble lineage, the Fujiwara family has always been a top-class family name. Moreover, it has a long and prosperous history, and its connections and influence extend to all aspects of Japanese politics. Although Chika's father has not yet become the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is only a matter of time."

In terms of personal qualities, Chika is intelligent but not cunning, aware of the dark side of society but kind-hearted, and has a good relationship with Mamoru. Furthermore, genetically speaking, her and Mamoru's future children will definitely be adorable.

Liuli nodded slowly, feeling strange but having to admit it.

The power of genes is truly amazing... All three daughters of the Fujiwara family inherited excellent bloodlines from their fathers: healthy, beautiful, intelligent—and with amazing figures!

Chika is already a top-tier player among high school students, and her older sister proves that the Fujiwara family's daughters still have a promising future!

The maid subconsciously glanced down at her own. Actually, she wasn't bad either. Not to brag, but the shape and size were perfect.

But how did they grow such a figure—curvy where it should be and slim where it should be—that exudes vitality?

"If I were to marry Chika, Mamoru probably wouldn't object, and our future life together would definitely be very happy, right?"

"Yes."

Liuli quietly took a deep breath and smiled in agreement, "I'm looking forward to it too."

“A bright future is foreseeable, I have no doubt about that—if Xiao Shou is a very mediocre person.”

"Ugh?"

Liuli exclaimed in surprise.

"If Xiaoshou were an ordinary child, I wouldn't have to think so much. I could simply and decisively arrange his life, and I wouldn't have these worries now."

Attending a prestigious private school, studying abroad, a political marriage, gaining experience in a company, choosing to support a particular cousin, and then retiring as an influential uncle—if he were even slightly mediocre, this would be his future.

Kuze Kaede rested her chin on her hand, her voice tinged with sorrow: "But he was just too unexpected."

I have imagined countless times how I would raise my children, whether they are boys or girls, intelligent or not, I am confident that I can provide them with a wonderful and fulfilling life.

But this child... is not normal!

She wasn't showing off; Liuli could tell she was genuinely troubled!

"As parents, we naturally hope that our children can surpass us, but early independence inevitably makes us feel disappointed... Xiaoshou will have an unconventional life trajectory, which is a consensus we have long reached, so some of the original common sense no longer applies."

Fujiwara Chika was an impeccable choice for a marriage alliance, but was she the same for Komori?

"I think the young master has also considered this, so the master and madam don't need to worry too much."

"Ah"

The straw hat tilted slightly as Feng gazed at Liuli's fair and delicate face: "This is a bonus question—"

What kind of wife do you think Xiaoshou needs?

Without much thought, Liuli shook her head decisively: "I can't think of anything."

"Don't have any reservations, or rather, from your point of view, who do you think is the most suitable person for him?"

"Anyone who can stand next to Young Master Ye must be gentle, generous, and understanding—"

"Zero points."

Feng tapped the rim of the cup lightly with a spoon, his expression changed, and he said seriously, "A conventionally virtuous wife and loving mother won't do."

"Then... what should it be like?"

"It's against the rules to ask the proctor directly, Chun."

"Well……"

"But since you're on the reserve list, and I quite like you, it wouldn't hurt to give you a little pointers in advance."

Liuli: Men are creatures that are both strong and fragile. They can withstand unimaginable pressure, but they can also be unexpectedly knocked down by some trivial matters.

Therefore, what they need is not just love and sexual partners, but also a mother who can unconditionally accept them and always provide support from behind.

They would display their strength to their wives and lovers, but they would only reveal their weaknesses and shameful secrets to their mothers.

For them, entrusting their secrets to their mother was like Achilles covering his ankles—invincible on the battlefield.

"Mother……"

"Of course, I'm referring to the psychological level."

Whether it was self-deprecation or complaint, Feng said, "I've never received this kind of treatment before."

"So that's how it is... So the most perfect wife is actually a fusion of a lover and a mother?"

"If any man declares that XX is the woman who can become my mother, then whether it is a husband-wife relationship or a sibling relationship, that man will never be able to leave her for the rest of his life."

Feng said meaningfully, "Mother, life mentor, psychologist, sexual partner, owner, leader, best friend and worst enemy—historically, any woman who has achieved this can still be manipulated, even if her partner is an emperor."

"Lord Ye Shou is so perfect... I don't think he would need so much psychological support."

"You've practically deified him."

Feng blinked, then looked away. Lucy's figure had already appeared at the street corner, so she ended the heart-to-heart talk with a single sentence.

"Men are not born strong, but are forced to be strong—a woman who cannot understand this cannot help her husband achieve great things."

……

I feel like I'm turning myself into a schizophrenic!

Ye Shou played chess all day. At first, the sound was faint, but later, every move he made could be seen with a translucent ripple. His progress was remarkable. However, because he was so engrossed in the game, his blood pressure rose higher and higher.

He simply couldn't understand how the "Ghost Brain" could conjure up an opponent smarter than himself!

Does that mean we've split the brain's computing power in two? That's completely illogical!

Unable to endure any longer, he resigned, only to be mocked by his "opponent" in a vivid and lively manner, which angered him so much that he almost picked up the chessboard to imitate Emperor Jing of Han.

[That's truly excellent; I can already clearly see your gameplay... But don't get arrogant. Never use it in battle until you've truly mastered it and can control it at will.]

“I understand, Master Jinglong.”

Ye Shoucheng accepted the instruction wholeheartedly.

"Illusion" can not only make enemies see illusions, but also produce slight physical interference, which should be a very practical technique.

The problem is that the stronger the illusion, the more Ye Shou needs to concentrate, even to the point of entering a meditative state—which is suicidal in battle!

He must elevate his mental strength and spiritual cultivation to a higher level in order to apply them freely at crucial moments.

"Then I'll take my leave today and visit Master another day."

Go for it... Haha, I really look forward to your future.

……

It was already quite late when they returned. Ye Shou sat in the car with his eyes closed, trying to rest, but just like when he stayed up all night, he felt somewhat excited.

He opened his eyes and looked at his right hand. A "Persian scimitar" appeared out of thin air in his hand. He immediately felt a sense of familiarity with it, as if the scimitar was a part of his body, and he could make it dance like a ghost with just a thought.

Ye Shou had never used such a strange weapon before!

He could handle any weapon with ease, even without prior experience or familiarity, as if he had been using it for decades.

This is the Left Hand of God (Gundaruf)!

When using a Japanese sword, Jinglong's swordsmanship was so strong that it couldn't be shown, but when he switched to another weapon, Ye Shou immediately felt the difference.

Moreover, it's not limited to melee weapons; in fact, it can operate tanks and airplanes as well, making it a magical skill.

"Reality is definitely not a game... the skill synergy is so much stronger."

Holding the air scimitar, Ye Shou felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but marvel.

In the game, casting Water Ball before Frost Arrow won't enhance the control effect, but that won't happen in reality.

After Ye Shou selected the [Left Hand of God], besides the various abilities described in the description, he actually found a wonderful use for it:

[God's Left Hand] actually provides a certain numerical bonus to the user upon contact with the weapon, enhancing their physical abilities and agility.

Ye Shou doesn't need to actually hold anything; he can simply grasp the imaginary weapon and still receive a bonus!

It's practically a permanent buff for him!

Without hesitation, I bought this!

Chapter 51 The Unapproachable Elementary School Grim Reaper

During dinner that evening, Lucy, as a guest, was seated next to Ye Shou. Perhaps out of consideration for her, and to avoid making the guest feel too uncomfortable, Ruri, who was also a girl, was seated at the table and placed on the other side of Ye Shou.

Sawai Soichiro returned home early today after finishing his business and had dinner with the Kuze family. It was the first time he had met Lucy, and he showed a bit of curiosity about the mixed-race girl.

Lucy's untamed spirit, reminiscent of the cyber age, was quite novel even to Sawai, who had seen countless people.

...The atmosphere at the dinner was somewhat subtle, and Ye Shou felt a long-lost sense of unease.

The girls on either side of her were both quiet and reserved. Even Lucy, who was usually outgoing, followed Ruri's example and ate her meal elegantly according to table manners.

The Kuze couple chatted and laughed, and occasionally asked Lucy in a kind manner whether she was comfortable staying there and whether she was having any trouble adjusting to life back home.

Ruri wasn't spared either. Junpei and Kaede acted like elders, showing concern for her studies and health, and scolding Ye Shou for leaving all the work to the maids. They said he should find more capable and energetic young professionals to train his team.

Kuze didn't take it seriously. There were too many things about his business that needed to be kept secret. It wasn't easy to find a subordinate who was absolutely loyal and had no curiosity. However, he couldn't directly refute him, so he just ate his meal in silence and gave casual replies.

Ruri and Lucy couldn't escape it and were given a good "care" by the couple... It took them an hour to finish their dinner!

After it was over, Ye Shou and the other two quickly fled and went back to their rooms to rest.

Junpei and Kaede exchanged a glance, their smiles both somewhat amused. Sawai, who had remained silently behind, smiled and said, "Your son seems to be troubled. Are you two going to let things take their course?"

"It's good for teenagers to have some troubles. If they are too unrestrained, they are prone to arrogance and complacency... Moreover, as parents, isn't it also a kind of fun to see how our children are troubled by problems and how they try to solve them?"

Junpei seemed to be in a good mood: "Do you know how many classes he's missed this semester? He didn't go to class today either. He's been too free."

"Oh?"

Sawai was surprised by this: "In my opinion, your son already has enough knowledge, his speech and manners are impeccable, and his business achievements are outstanding. There is no need for him to receive a general education step by step, is there?"
