It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 374 [023] The throne is more comfortable than tatami

In the grand lobby, Xiao Xia, wearing an elegant Japanese-style dress with a long skirt, ordered the uniformed Sheriff Mu Yue in a domineering manner:

"You concubine! Hurry up and pour me some tea and bring me some Shingen mochi!"

The sheriff did as he was told. Not only the sheriff, but also Hu Chi, Doctor Li, Jiang Chouyun, Zhu Shengzhi, Chen Tom and others, all stood on both sides with hunched backs, showing fear towards Xiao Xia.

"Fufufu~" Xiao Xia used her folding fan to hide her smile, "This is the power of the young master's wife! Ever since the young master fell in love with me, everyone has been scrambling to offer all kinds of good things, otherwise they will be sealed in a cement barrel and thrown into the canal!"

As the saying goes, "When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit." Xiao Xia did not forget her childhood playmate. Feng Jian knelt on the ground with an expressionless face, acting as a human chair for the "young master's wife."

"Alas... the only drawback is that becoming the young master's wife is giving me a headache. Why is this happening? Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting me!"

Xiao Xia woke up from her dream, and Feng Jian still didn't stop hitting her head with the recorder, which earned her several rhythmic "ouch" sounds.

"Miss, it's just evening and you're already sprawled out sleeping, not dealing with any of the group's affairs at all?"

"It's enough to have one advisor to handle the affairs of the group. I have confidence in you." Xiao Xia sat up from the tatami, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, still savoring the afterglow of her sweet dream.

Although she took painkillers, Xiao Xia's wisdom teeth have not yet fully erupted. Because she couldn't control her desire to eat snacks, her cheeks are still a little swollen.

Feng Jian, who was kneeling opposite Xiao Xia, put the back of his hand on Xiao Xia's forehead:

"Miss, you are a little bit feverish. Although it is more feverish when you are with the young master, but if you continue to be feverish for a long time, you may become even more stupid than you are now, and you won't even know to eat the Shingen Mochi placed in front of you."

"Nonsense! Eating cakes and such, even if your brain is burned out, you won't forget it!"

Xiao Xia became a little more alert and glared at Fengjian opposite her, thinking that one day she would get this rebellious staff officer under her butt.

This is a Japanese-style room in the castle tower of the Falling Sakura Group. The interior decoration is simple, and the soft light is sprinkled on the clean and neat tatami, forming a projection that looks like real cherry blossoms. The wind chimes in the corner of the room sway gently, making crisp and pleasant ringing sounds.

"Do you hear the sound of the wind chimes?" Feng Jian asked while operating the recorder on his knees, "Miss, you should calm down and experience Zen from time to time, instead of just thinking about the 'craving' for cakes."

"Hmph, just talking about eating biscuits makes my teeth hurt again. When will my wisdom teeth grow out completely?..."

Xiao Xia covered her slightly swollen left face with one hand, looking very uncomfortable. Every time her wisdom tooth hurt, the single ponytail on the side of her little head would twitch.

"Miss, are you still thinking about revenge for the former team leader?" The loli staff officer did not even raise her head and did not stop operating the recorder. Her soft silver hair added to the quiet atmosphere in the room.

"Eh? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Xiao Xia blinked, and her red pupils revealed a guilty look behind her eyelashes:
"Logically, the revenge for my father's murder should not be forgotten, right? I did hold a memorial ceremony for my father in the secret room using the Christian rituals that Qin Qi hated, but my father was originally a Buddhist..."

Feng Jian raised his eyes from the recording machine and said, "I advise you not to do unnecessary things. Otherwise, it will only waste the efforts of the previous team leader."

Xiao Xia pouted: "I want to kill Qin Qi myself, but his martial arts is a little bit better than mine..."

"Let me tell you some history." Feng Jian adjusted his long hair on his left temple. "In 1982, two anti-Japanese Americans mistakenly took the 27-year-old Chinese youth Chen Guoren as a Japanese and beat him to death."

"In 2020, 40-year-old Japanese jazz pianist Masao Unno was mistaken for a Chinese at a New York subway station and was beaten up by a group of Americans. He was hospitalized with serious injuries."

Xiao Xia didn't understand what he meant: "Well... I can't tell the difference between Spanish and Italian people. Foreigners all look the same, don't they?"

"This is the key." Feng Jian adjusted the frame of his glasses that had slipped down from his young nose. "Orientals can distinguish each other's nationalities through some details, but Westerners can't. The island country that tried to 'leave Asia and join Europe' in the Earth era was extremely foolish."

"True identity comes from the unchangeable elements of oneself. Don't forget who you are, because others will not forget who you are. Especially, the enemy will not forget who you are." "Take the surrenderists in Sea Hu District who call themselves 'Gao Hua' for example. They want to bleach themselves white and completely westernize their lifestyle. But Westerners can still tell your identity at a glance by your appearance, and they don't care whether you are yellow-skinned and white-hearted. When you are in danger, not only will you die, but you will die faster."

“This is a simple and easily forgotten truth - based on unchangeable characteristics, the same outcome in the face of danger is the true community.”

"So, miss, do you understand?"

"Ah?" Xiao Xia was confused. She subconsciously reached out to grab the cake, but she only grabbed the air above the tatami. Maybe it was because of the cherry blossom projection that caused an illusion in her peripheral vision.

Feng Jian's deep silver eyes revealed an icy chill: "In a nutshell, because of our appearance, there is no option for the Falling Cherry Group to surrender to the Westerners and hook up with the Nian Society."

"I'm not involved with the Nian Society!" Xiao Xia stuffed the "air biscuit" into her mouth and pretended to chew it gently to temporarily forget the toothache. "The Nian Society once tried to poison my father. How could I possibly get involved with the Nian Society!"

"It's not enough to just draw a line with the Nian Society." Fengjian said, "After the young master came back from the time travel incident, his behavior is obviously different from before. The secret should only be known to a very small circle. If you don't show your loyalty now, you don't know how you will die in the future."

Xiao Xia tugged at her ninja-style black fishnet stockings out of boredom: "Time travel is still quite unbelievable... ahhh why are you pinching my thigh!!"

"It's to make you listen carefully." Fengjian continued, "The Falling Cherry Clan and the Night Dragon Society have fought each other before, and coupled with the history of the Earth era, they have a natural disadvantage. There is an English proverb called 'An elephant never forgets.' When the Chinese wrote history books, they glossed over the victories and wrote about the failures in great detail - the dragons will not forget either."

"The time of judgment is approaching. If some members of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group cannot wake up in time and are unwilling to repent and sincerely submit, then their only fate will be to be crushed by the dragon. The country on Earth that corresponds to us may have been completely destroyed, right?"

"I can tell you now why Team Leader Miyamoto committed suicide."

"Eh? What did you say?" Xiao Xia almost choked on the air biscuit in her mouth.

Feng Jian straightened his small body and said, "Team Leader Miyamoto committed suicide not because he was forced by Qin Qi, nor because he felt guilty towards his ancestors. Before the Falling Cherry Group was officially merged into the Night Dragon Society, there were still many diehards in the Falling Cherry Group who were ready to resist, and Team Leader Miyamoto secretly executed them."

"Team leader Miyamoto was forced by public opinion to fight against the Night Dragon Society, but after the expected defeat, for the future of the Falling Cherry Group, Team leader Miyamoto carried out necessary killings of the diehards in the group. He knew that if he did not clean up himself in time, the Falling Cherry Group would be wiped out and it would be a problem whether it could survive. The subsequent suicide was mainly because his hands were stained with too much blood of his own people, and he was speechless in front of the remaining people."

"So, young lady, please do not ruin your father's noble cause. Now that you have already knelt, you should kneel sincerely, so as not to be like those people in Sea Gate who are unaware of the impending disaster."

"I, I have already knelt very sincerely!" Xiao Xia argued, "My standard kneeling like this can be passed down to future generations as a teaching material! In fact, I am not in a hurry to avenge my father. I heard that Qin Qi has been in seclusion for a long time and his health is not good... Now my top priority is to become the young master's wife and then sit on the advisory chair!"

"Sit on what?"

"Sit... sit on the throne of the young master's wife, and rely on your talent as an advisor... hehehe." Xiao Xia touched the back of his head, trying to get away with it.

"According to my intelligence, the young master will soon come to the Fallen Cherry Group with Vale." Fengjian said after hitting Xiao Xia on the head, "He is mainly here to see me, but miss, don't forget to seize the opportunity to show your loyalty. The Night Dragon Society is going to conduct a pilot program for warrior ratings at the Fire Tongs Group, and the Fallen Cherry Group cannot fall behind. Miss, you can take the initiative to mention this matter later, the young master should be happy."

With almost no time difference, Shiro from the "Nine Ninjas" came over to report that the young master and Vale had arrived.

Xiao Xia was overjoyed: "Then hurry up and prepare the refreshments... Isn't it time for dinner? Hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare the most exquisite dishes. I want to dine with the young master!"

Talking moved the position of the wisdom tooth, and the ninja girl covered her cheek in pain again.

"Wow... my mouth is really disappointing. I can't eat anything good now... please prepare some soft food for me..."
