Just then, there was a knock at the door. Jiuxiao and Fuse Midori exchanged a glance, then got up and went to open it. Standing outside were Elder Matsuzaki, Kyoko, and Sasana—these were the people who had followed Jiuxiao the longest.

"Mr. Yuan, is there something you need to do so late today?" Elder Matsuzaki asked respectfully, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Jiu Xiao slightly stepped aside to let Elder Matsuzaki and his group into the house. When the two little ones beside him saw that the person who came was Jiu Xiao, the sleepiness on their faces instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of great surprise.

“Brother Jiuxiao!” Sasana and Kyoko cheered, rushing into Jiuxiao’s arms like swallows returning to their nest. Jiuxiao smiled and ruffled their little heads, feeling warm inside.

"Elder Matsuzaki, I'm so sorry to bother you so late. Why aren't you resting yet?"

“Mr. Yuan, please don’t be so polite. This is your territory, and I should thank you for giving the children a place where they can live in peace. How can you say we’re disturbing you? We were just about to rest when we heard some conversation over here, so we came to check it out.” Elder Matsuzaki’s weathered face broke into a smile, as if he had become several years younger. It seemed that life here must be quite good.

With an apologetic expression, Jiu Xiao said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry. I haven't really been involved since I brought you here. I've mostly left the liaison work here to Xia Shi. I really don't deserve your praise."

"That's not true at all, Brother Jiuxiao. Everyone is very grateful to you. You gave us a home." Shasha raised her head and looked at Jiuxiao with her clear eyes, her tone full of sincerity and gratitude.

Kyoko chimed in, "Yes, Brother Jiuxiao! Since we arrived here, we've had a wonderful time every day. Everyone's working so hard to make this place even better. Even though there was nothing here at the beginning, it's become so beautiful after all this effort. Hey, let's show Brother Jiuxiao around the island tomorrow!" Kyoko suggested excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Jiuxiao readily agreed, since it would be another 24 hours before the passage between the two worlds opened again. The situation there wasn't very urgent either; the Gastrea without Aldebaran's commander were insignificant, and with Fate overseeing things, nothing would go wrong.

After chatting for a while, Jiuxiao introduced Fuse Midori to Elder Matsuzaki and his group. Although everyone was curious about Fuse Midori's cat ears and tail, they didn't show any disgust. On the contrary, they found it very interesting and asked her all sorts of questions.

The next morning, Jiuxiao, still half asleep, felt something furry rubbing against his face, making him itchy. He swatted it away repeatedly, but couldn't resist the soft touch. Finally, he couldn't help but complain, "Yeonju, stop it, let me sleep a few more minutes...zzz..."

Half-asleep, Jiu Xiao assumed it was Yan Zhu playing a prank, after all, that mischievous kid had done it all the time. After a while, the itching sensation didn't stop; instead, it intensified. Finally, Jiu Xiao was completely awakened and abruptly grabbed the "thing" that was playing a trick on his cheek. But he discovered that it wasn't Yan Zhu's playful face, but a fluffy white cat tail.

Only then did Jiuxiao realize that Fushite Midori had fallen asleep beside him sometime during the night. He clearly remembered that Fushite Midori had slept on the bed the night before, while he had made a makeshift bed on the floor. It's said that cats like to sleep next to something warm, so could it be that his body tends to be warm, attracting even this "cat" Fushite Midori? He saw Fushite Midori curled up in a ball, snuggling close to him, and she really did look somewhat like a cat.

Could it be that the feline gastroenteritis virus really made Buse Tsui's behavior and habits no different from a cat's? Jiu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little curious and surprised. He gently moved the cat's tail away from his face, trying not to wake Buse Tsui.

However, Bushui seemed to sense Jiuxiao's movement, and groggily opened her eyes, her clear eyes shining brightly in the morning light. She yawned, stretched, displaying a cat-like languid posture, and then sat up almost glued to Jiuxiao, saying in a slightly hoarse yet exceptionally cute voice, "Good morning, Brother Jiuxiao, you're up so early."

Jiu Xiao gave a wry smile and said, "Cui, why are you sitting next to me? Didn't I arrange for you to sleep in the bed last night?"

Fuse Midori scratched her head gently with her paw—no, her hand—and said, seemingly confused, "I don't know either. I woke up in the middle of the night and found the bedside area was so cold, so I unconsciously moved closer to you. It's so warm around you, like the sun..."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Busu Tsui abruptly left Jiu Xiao's side, her eyes wide open, covering her face with her hands, looking as if she realized she had done something wrong.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Jiuxiao, I didn't mean to..." Busu Cui's cheeks quickly flushed red, and even the tips of her ears turned pink, just like a truly shy cat.

Seeing her adorable reaction, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but find it a little funny, so he comforted her, "It's okay, Cui, you don't need to worry about it. It's just sleeping together, it's not a big deal. Yan Zhu and the others often stick to me too."

Upon hearing Jiu Xiao's words, the blush on Bu Shi Cui's cheeks not only did not fade, but intensified. She whispered, "Thank you... thank you. Brother Jiu Xiao has a very reassuring aura about him, just like... just like Father..." Her voice grew softer and softer, and if Jiu Xiao's five senses were not extraordinary, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear her.

Jiu Xiao's pupils dilated in shock; suddenly becoming a father was something he never expected. "I treated you like a little sister, but you want to be my daughter? This is simply...amazing!" Jiu Xiao smiled gently, reaching out to softly ruffle Bu Shi Cui's hair, like petting a cat. To suddenly have a daughter as cute as a kitten—science fiction, it's just too sci-fi! What kind of sleeping position would one need to have such a beautiful dream?

Just as Jiuxiao was immersed in the joy of becoming a father, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a series of hurried footsteps accompanied by the energetic voice of a little girl came: "Brother Jiuxiao, are you up? We agreed to explore the island last night, you can't go back on your word!" A little head peeked out from the doorway; it was Gongzi.

Jiuxiao was pulled back to reality by the sudden voice. He quickly adjusted his expression, not wanting Kyoko to notice his slightly out-of-control behavior. Jiuxiao gently released Fuse Midori, trying to make his tone sound as natural as possible: "Oh, it's Kyoko. Good morning. Of course I haven't forgotten. I said I wanted you to show us around the island."

When Kusho let her go, Fuse Midori realized there were other people present. She quickly stood up from her futon and awkwardly straightened her clothes and hair, her cheeks still flushed. She greeted Kyoko softly, "Good morning, Kyoko-chan."

Kyoko seemed oblivious to the subtle tension between the two. She excitedly jumped into the room, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Brother Jiuxiao, let's hurry up and set off! I can't wait to tell you about the scenery on the island!"

Jiuxiao smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Bushi Cui: "Cui, why don't you come along too? There are many interesting places on the island; you might find something you like."

After a quick wash, Kyoko and the others took Jiuxiao and his companion to the cafeteria for breakfast. Along the way, many little girls greeted him, some of the bolder ones surrounding Jiuxiao and groping him from head to toe, making him blush. It has to be said, these unbound children of the curse were truly audacious, daring to tease him.

After breakfast, Kyoko, holding the hands of Kusho and Sumire, skipped and hopped along the island's paths. The changes were truly remarkable; many trees had been felled, and wooden houses had sprung up, with patrol robots occasionally passing by. Everywhere you looked, there were only young girls; one might mistake it for a land of women.

Wherever Jiuxiao went, he was surrounded by onlookers, making him feel like a giant panda, unable to properly enjoy the sights. In the afternoon, Jiuxiao and his group went to the cultivated land...

Experience planting crops in the fields, an agricultural area specifically set up for the Cursed Children to teach them self-sufficiency skills. The fields are filled with neatly arranged, vibrant vegetables and fruits.

As Kyoko skillfully dug holes with a small shovel, she introduced the names of various crops and their planting methods to Jiuxiao and Fuse Midori. Her enthusiasm and professional knowledge surprised Jiuxiao; it seemed the little girls had indeed grown a lot during their time on the island. At least they could survive in this world after leaving Jiuxiao.

Bushui stood to the side, looking somewhat helpless. She had never participated in such an activity before and knew nothing about how to plant crops. Jiuxiao noticed her embarrassment, smiled, walked over to her, picked up a small shovel, and gently guided her on how to dig holes, how to sow seeds, and how to water.

Time flies, and the sun is about to set. Kyoko looked up at the sky, where the afterglow of the sunset painted the horizon orange-red. She patted the dirt off her hands and said happily, "Kyusho-nii, Midori-chan, today was such a fulfilling day! Look, the sunset over there is so beautiful!" Kyusho and Midori also stopped what they were doing and looked up into the distance. Indeed, the magnificent sunset was like a scroll painting spread across the sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Yes, it's truly beautiful," Jiu Xiao murmured, a strange emotion welling up within him. His time with the Cursed Children had given him a profound understanding of their pure and resilient hearts. Though abandoned by the world, they still strive to live, creating their own future with their own hands.

That evening, the cooldown of the portal finally ended. After bidding farewell to everyone, Jiu Xiao left with Buse Cui. Regardless, there were still many things to take care of in the Black Bullet World; it wasn't time to enjoy himself yet. When Jiu Xiao left, his buttons and some accessories had vanished, all snatched away by the little girls on the island, leaving him somewhat amused and exasperated.

Meanwhile, in the Black Bullet world, Akimaro Tsubasa anxiously awaited the return of Kusho and Midori Fuse. Although everyone reassured him to relax and that Midori Fuse would be safe, his unease burned like wildfire, impossible to quell.

The following evening, shortly after Jiuxiao left the previous day, Jiuxiao returned to the camp unharmed with Fuse Midori. Tsubasa Akimaro rushed forward immediately, carefully examining Fuse Midori to confirm her safety before finally relaxing. He gripped Jiuxiao's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Thank you, Jiuxiao. I'm so grateful you brought Midori back. And Midori, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for putting you in danger. I'm a terrible guardian."

Chapter 122 Feeding Play with Kisaragi

Fuse Midori gently shook her head and said softly, "Brother Akima, don't say that. It's not your fault. If I had honestly told you about my situation back then, perhaps none of this would have happened..."

In short, the matter was over, and everyone was happy for Bushicui's safe return. The police force spent the next few days in a relatively relaxed manner, simply eating, sleeping, and launching raids in groups to intercept Gastrea. With Aldebaran dealt with, the remaining Karami were all without command and once again became disorganized.

On the morning of the fifth day after the monolith fell, a new monolith was rebuilt. Although it was a day later than originally planned, there were no major problems, except for the Tokyo citizens who were tragically devoured by Gastrea.

Following this incident, under Jiuxiao's deliberate instigation, the builder of the No. 32 megalith and his family's influence were "unintentionally" exposed. Due to the deaths of so many citizens, Kikunojo Tendo was unable to suppress the matter and was ultimately forced to resign. His family's reputation plummeted, becoming universally reviled. The main person responsible, Kazuhiro Tendo, was imprisoned, and before his trial could even begin, news broke that he had committed suicide in his cell. This series of blows severely damaged the Tendo family, their former power and prestige seemingly vanishing overnight.

However, whether Tendo and Hikaru committed suicide or were murdered remains a question worth pondering. But none of that matters anymore. Tendo and Hikaru's deaths gave the public some closure, and the Tendo family managed to salvage their last shred of dignity. Only the world where Tendo and Hikaru were wounded was achieved, but it was also a consequence of their own actions.

When the Holy Emperor learned that the collapse of the No. 32 megalith was due to embezzlement and shoddy workmanship by the Tendo family, he was furious. At the same time, he found it laughable that he had previously trusted Tendo Kikunojo so completely; it turned out that he himself was the clown.

Besides, after learning the truth, Kisara Tendo became completely withdrawn. Although this matter was not directly related to her or her parents, she still felt immense guilt and pain deep inside. After all, the Tendo family was her root, and her bloodline was closely connected to this family. Some things cannot be given up so easily.

The thought of those innocent civilians who had died was like a thousand needles piercing her heart, causing unbearable pain. She locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink, staring blankly out the window with empty and lost eyes. The outside world remained noisy, but to her, everything had lost its color and meaning.

Jiu Xiao felt utterly helpless about this. Although he had tried his best to bring down the Tian Tong family in a gentle way, it still caused indelible damage to her heart. It just goes to show that having too high a moral standard isn't necessarily a good thing.

The one who tied the knot must untie it. Jiu Xiao stood outside Tian Tong Mu Geng's door, a bunch of keys clutched tightly in one hand, a bowl of freshly cooked congee with preserved egg and lean pork in the other. With a try-it-and-see attitude, Jiu Xiao knocked on the door. As expected, there was no response from inside; only the steaming congee in his hand reminded him that time was ticking away.

"Sister Musang, I'm coming in," Jiuxiao said, unlocking Musang's bedroom door with his key. Inside, Tendo Musang remained staring blankly out the window, her expression wooden, as if time had frozen. Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on her, but it couldn't penetrate her closed-off heart.

"Sister Kisara..." Jiuxiao called softly, his voice filled with hesitation, unsure of what to say. He didn't rush to disturb her, but stood quietly to the side, waiting for Kisara to turn around on her own.

After a long while, Tendou Kisara finally reacted. She slowly turned her head, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having cried countless times. When she saw Kusho, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but then dimmed again.

"Jiuxiao... why are you here?" Mu Geng's voice was hoarse and weak, as if even speaking required a great deal of effort.

Jiu Xiao slowly walked over, sat down next to her, handed her a bowl of warm porridge, and said, "Eat something first. You haven't eaten in a long time. I made this myself for Sister Mu Geng."

Tian Tongmu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained unmoved. She didn't take the hot porridge from Jiu Xiao's hand, but instead asked softly, "Jiu Xiao, I... I really don't know what to do. I know this has nothing to do with me, but they are my family after all... so many innocent people died in one go... They shouldn't have suffered such a fate. Now, when I close my eyes, I can almost see those bloody scenes and hear their cries and despair. I feel like a sinner, bound by invisible shackles, unable to break free... If only I had discovered it sooner..."

Before Mu Geng had even finished speaking, Jiu Xiao felt an uncontrollable surge of anger rising within her. "No, sister, what do the crimes committed by the Tian Tong family have to do with you? The blood debts of those innocent people should be repaid by the true culprits, not by you, a person filled with kindness and suffering."

"Enough!" Jiuxiao suddenly interrupted Tiantong Mugeng, his voice tinged with anger.

"Sister Mugeng, you can't go on like this. Those tragedies didn't happen because of you, and you shouldn't have to bear this pain and guilt. Even if you knew what the Tiantong family did beforehand, so what? Do you think you can change anything by yourself? You're overestimating yourself!" Jiuxiao's tone was very stern, and every word was precious, conveying a sense of pity for her misfortune and anger at her lack of self-control.

In his two lifetimes, Yuan Jiuxiao had never seen such a self-destructive, innocent, and upright silly girl.

Tendou Kisara was taken aback by Kusho's sudden harsh words. She automatically ignored the comforting part of his first sentence and focused only on the almost sarcastic analysis in the second half. Tendou Kisara couldn't help but feel angry; she hadn't expected Kusho to say such a thing to her.

"Jiuxiao, how could you say that? You have no idea about the pain and struggle in my heart! I..." Tian Tong Musang's voice trembled, his eyes reddened again, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Jiuxiao interrupted again, saying, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'this is how you ruin your body'? You haven't eaten or drunk anything since noon yesterday. Are you trying to drive yourself to the brink of despair? Have you thought about how people will be sad if you collapse? Come on, listen to me, drink this bowl of porridge first."

Tian Tong Mu Geng's words were suddenly interrupted by Jiu Xiao. She was about to get angry, but Jiu Xiao's seemingly harsh but actually comforting words shut her up. However, Jiu Xiao's attitude towards her just now made her very unhappy, so Mu Geng deliberately said, "Hmph, I won't drink it, who cares about the porridge you cooked yourself?"

A frown appeared on Jiu Xiao's forehead. He hadn't expected this woman to be so ungrateful, rejecting his kindness time and time again. No wonder she, Yuan, resorted to such underhanded tactics. If this behavior were happening now, Jiu Xiao would be considered a complete scoundrel, forcing himself on someone who didn't want it—how shameless!

"Fine, fine, you don't want to drink? Then don't blame me." With that, Jiu Xiao first took a large gulp of porridge himself, then suddenly leaned down, grabbed Tian Tong Mu Geng's chin with one hand, forcing her mouth open, placed the bowl on the bedside table with the other, then pressed down on her shoulder, and in the moment of her stunned silence, fed her the porridge...

Tian Tong Musang's eyes widened, completely unprepared for Jiu Xiao's move, and she was momentarily speechless. By the time she realized what was happening and tried to resist, it was too late. With her current weakened state, how could she possibly be a match for the Great Demon King Jiu Xiao? She could only let the warm porridge slide down her throat.

"Cough, cough... You, you shameless person!" Startled by the sudden action, Tendo Kiyo coughed violently, his cheeks flushed with shame and indignation.

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao's lips curled into a smug smile, but he still maintained a serious expression. He shamelessly said, "Oh? I'm shameless? Then you should resist!"

"You! Wait... glug glug..." Before Mu Geng could finish speaking, Jiu Xiao used the same trick again, forcibly feeding her a mouthful of porridge. This time, she was smarter and no longer tried to resist verbally, but instead tried to enjoy it.

A hint of mockery flashed in Jiu Xiao's eyes. He said softly, "Hmph, Sister Mugeng, let's see if you still dare to be so stubborn. No matter how hard you are all over, there's always one soft spot."

Tian Tong Musang blushed, wanting to retort, but found herself speechless. After all, if she had been any more forceful, Jiu Xiao certainly wouldn't have ignored her subjective opinion. This showed that deep down, she actually had some expectations.

Seeing that his intentions had been exposed, Tian Tong Mu simply stopped answering and resisting, letting Jiu Xiao do as he pleased. Jiu Xiao became more and more excited, completely forgetting his original purpose, and evil thoughts gradually took over the high ground of reason.

"Huff... Sizzle..."

Tendoki tried desperately to control his panting and some indescribable physiological reactions. But he couldn't withstand the increasingly fierce "offensive" from Kyuuhou, and was forced to retreat step by step, completely losing his ability to resist. At this moment, Tendokiki was no longer the gloomy and withdrawn person he had been moments before; his usual reserve and shyness had been thrown to who-knows-where, and he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened.

After Jiuxiao's relentless "offensive" ended, Mugen finally managed to find a chance to speak: "Huff, huff, huff, Jiuxiao, the porridge is finished. Is there anything else you would like to say?"

Looking at the affectionate yet hesitant Tian Tong Mu Geng, Jiu Xiao tried to speak, "How about I go and get another bowl?"

Tian Tong Mu didn't answer directly, instead turning his head away, avoiding Jiu Xiao's gaze. Jiu Xiao was overjoyed and quickly went to the kitchen to get another bowl of porridge... In the end, this absurd feeding play lasted a full hour...

According to the victim, cough cough, the person involved, Tendo Kisara, he said: "I drank two bowls of porridge, but why do I feel even more dehydrated?"

Jiuxiao wasn't having an easy time either. His lust, ignited by the feeding play, couldn't be effectively satisfied. He couldn't very well ask Xiaoyuan for help now, could he? That would be too naive. Left with no other choice, Jiuxiao resorted to his older sister's tactics, gradually losing himself in the calls of "sister," finally managing to persuade her to bite him. Afterwards, he was even kicked out of the room by an enraged Tendo Kisara...

The next morning, Tendou Kisara reappeared before everyone, as if nothing had happened. However, she would occasionally steal a glance at Kyusou, thinking she had done it flawlessly, but someone with ulterior motives saw through her act.

Since morning, Sanya had sensed that something was off with Tendoki. Not only had he overcome his trauma, but he also seemed more radiant. Considering that Jiuxiao had spent an hour in her room yesterday, she had initially assumed he was simply comforting her. Now, it seemed things weren't so simple. Sanya still remembered how Jiuxiao used to tutor Xiaoyuan, and the tutoring would sometimes escalate to the point of bedtime... It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to have designs on Tendoki.

Sania decided to find an opportunity to provoke Tendo Kisara. The opportunity came quickly. At breakfast, as everyone sat together, Sania seized a moment, quietly approached Tendo Kisara, and whispered, "Kisara-neechan, did something happen between you and Kusho yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Kisara Tendo's face instantly turned bright red. She quickly waved her hands in denial, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing her evasive eyes and the smooth, three-part denial, Sania became even more certain of her guess. She chuckled and said in a voice only Tendo Kisara could hear, "I was just asking casually, why are you so nervous, Kisara-nee? Could it be..." Sania only got halfway through her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Upon hearing this, Tendo Kisara was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. She lowered her head, gently stirred the soup in her bowl with a spoon, and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Jiuxiao seemed to sense the strange looks from those around him. He pretended to be calm as he ate his meal, but whenever he looked up and met the eyes of Tiantong Musang, the two would quickly look away, as if they were both hiding a secret.

Only Xiaoyuan's gaze towards them remained clear yet tinged with a hint of naiveté, just like that of a fresh-faced college student.

Jiu Xiao secretly rejoiced. Xiao Yuan's innocence prevented her from noticing the subtle emotional entanglements between them, which relieved him slightly. Otherwise, the path to the harem would be even more difficult. Jiu Xiao wasn't deliberately hiding it from her; the timing wasn't right. (Mainly, he was afraid of being ganged up on by Xiao Yuan and Sania.)

After the meal, Jiu Xiao found an opportunity to quietly pull Sania aside and whispered a pleading voice, "Lady Sania, I was wrong, please forgive me."

PS: QAQ Please, Lord Shenhe, have mercy, otherwise I wouldn't know how to change it.

Chapter 123 Using the Emperor to Command the Feudal Lords

Fortunately, Sania didn't reveal Jiuxiao's dirty secret. Anyway, there was already a little circle, so one more wouldn't make a difference. That's how people are; once they take a step back, they'll take countless steps back.

Time flies like an arrow, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye. Since the last time Jiuxiao forced Tiantong Musang to engage in feeding play, he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to make a move on Musang. The other party is intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him, and Jiuxiao is very helpless about this.

Since defeating Aldebaran, the Katagiri siblings and Akimaro Nagasawa joined Kyuujou's agency at his enthusiastic invitation. Midori Fuse, due to her tail, has completely withdrawn from combat and plans to stay in the other world long-term. Unlike Sania, she can't control her feline characteristics. Akimaro Nagasawa has no objection to this; if possible, he doesn't want Midori Fuse to continue fighting.

At the end of July, it was time for Jiu Xiao to make his routine contact with Zi Yuan Xian Yi. He thought to himself, "The day to close the net has come. Hehehe!" He dialed the number, and a deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Yuan, it's quite rare for you to contact me on your own initiative. Let me make this clear first, the organization doesn't have any extra operating funds to allocate to you right now." Zi Yuan Xian Yi's voice was filled with vigilance. This kid always finds various reasons to ask the organization for money whenever he contacts them regularly, so we have to be careful.

Jiu Xiao's lips curled into an awkward smile. He had originally planned to fleece the Five Flying Gang members in the Tokyo area one last time before dealing with them, but it seemed that was no longer possible.

“Mr. Ziyuan, I’m not here to ask for funding this time. Besides, do you think I, Yuan Jiuxiao, am that kind of person? Every task assigned to me by the organization has been completed flawlessly. My loyalty to the organization is as clear as day.”

Zi Yuanxian's lips twitched, but she didn't respond. Although Jiu Xiao always completed the tasks they assigned him quite well, this guy would always find various reasons to extort money from them after each mission. What was most infuriating was that he couldn't find a reasonable excuse to refuse.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Jiu Xiao continued, "Ahem, this time it really isn't about funding. Actually, I have a big gift for you."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Ziyuan Xianyi's voice held a hint of interest.

Jiuxiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You know about the sudden collapse of the Tokyo 32 megalith a while ago, right? The Self-Defense Forces fought a major battle with the Gastrea army led by Aldebaran. The Self-Defense Forces were almost completely wiped out, and the regular armed forces in the Tokyo area are now unprecedentedly weak. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for our Five Flying Society to make a move?"

On the other end of the phone, Ziyuan Xianyi was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he decided to give up. Moreover, he couldn't say this outright, so he made an excuse: "Mr. Yuan, while your proposal is tempting, considering the organization's overall strategy and long-term planning, acting rashly at this time would be unwise. The situation in the Tokyo area is complex, with various forces secretly coveting it. If our Five Flying Society were to easily intervene, it might invite unnecessary trouble. Our Five Flying Society is not yet ready to go public. If we were to launch a sensitive action like an armed seizure of power, it would undoubtedly expose our existence prematurely, attracting joint suppression from governments and other forces. Furthermore, an armed seizure of power would lead to instability in subsequent rule. As the saying goes, 'If the name is not righteous, the words will not be proper,' such a regime cannot last. Therefore, I appreciate your good intentions, but this matter requires careful consideration."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao inwardly scoffed, "What the hell? If the name isn't righteous, the words won't be proper. You Five Flying Society actually care about this? I think you're trying to have your cake and eat it too!" This Zi Yuan Xian Yi was truly cunning and shrewd. However, he had anticipated that the other party wouldn't take the bait so easily. Therefore, Jiu Xiao changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Zi Yuan, when did I ever say I wanted to seize power by force? I couldn't possibly come up with such a terrible idea."

"Oh? Then what brilliant idea does Mr. Yuan have?" Zi Yuan Xian Yi's tone was outwardly humble, but inwardly filled with disdain. With his many years of experience, he still didn't have a good solution for Tokyo, so she didn't believe that a mere child like Jiu Xiao could come up with any good ideas.

Jiuxiao chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice: "I wouldn't call it insightful. Since our Five Flying Society can't use force, what if the Holy Emperor himself orders us to maintain order in Tokyo?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuanxian's eyes lit up, as if Jiu Xiao's words had touched upon something crucial. He sat up straight, his tone becoming more serious: "You mean, you want the Holy Emperor to actively invite our Five Flying Stars Society to intervene in Tokyo's affairs? How is that possible? Would the Holy Emperor easily entrust the safety of Tokyo to a strange organization?"

Jiu Xiao chuckled softly, speaking with confidence, "Under normal circumstances, as you said, the Holy Emperor wouldn't easily entrust the safety of Tokyo to outsiders. But what if it's a legitimate police company? Don't forget, Tokyo is currently in a power vacuum. The Self-Defense Forces are severely weakened, the regular armed forces are almost collapsed, and the Gastrea are eyeing us covetously. In this situation, the Holy Emperor urgently needs a force capable of quickly stabilizing the situation. At that time, our Five Sho Society can simply change its appearance, don a legal cloak, and appear as a righteous police company. Wouldn't that be perfectly logical?" Jiu Xiao's words carried a hint of cunning, as if everything was under his control.

"But how can we convince the Holy Emperor to extend an invitation?" Zi Yuanxian asked, his brow furrowed.

"Mr. Ziyuan, you really have a short memory. Have you forgotten the mission the organization initially assigned to me?"

Jiuxiao's reminder made Ziyuan Xianyi suddenly realize something. He slapped his thigh and said in disbelief, "Could it be that you really captured the Holy Emperor? That's impossible. If you really captured her, I would have heard something about it."

Jiu Xiao immediately felt offended. Who did they think they were? A mere Holy Emperor... Well, Jiu Xiao hadn't actually managed to win over the Holy Emperor, but that didn't stop him from fabricating stories. The Five Flying Associations couldn't very well ask the Holy Emperor about his personal feelings directly. As long as he conspired with the Holy Emperor beforehand, was he afraid the Five Flying Associations wouldn't take the bait?

Jiuxiao smiled mysteriously, as if it were a serious matter, and said, "Why is it impossible? Besides, even if I haven't completely won over the Holy Emperor, I have gained her great trust and can still speak to her. This isn't the first time Japan has outsourced its defense. Before it was the US, so why can't it be our 'whitewashed' Five Flying Society now? You just need to concentrate the Five Flying Society's forces in Tokyo and set up a legal and compliant police and security company. Leave the rest to me."

Zi Yuanxian stared at his phone for a long time, seemingly trying to determine the truthfulness of Jiu Xiao's words. Gradually, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Zi Yuanxian's lips. He hadn't expected that the seed he had casually sown back then would play such a decisive role.

Zi Yuan Xian Yi spoke with a hint of approval, "Mr. Yuan, if this succeeds, you will be credited with the greatest contribution. At that time, I will give you a permanent antidote to remove the toxins from your body, and you will become the true core figure of the Five Flying Society."

Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes. It seemed all his hard work had been for nothing; they didn't consider him one of their own. But that made sense. A dangerous organization like the Five Flying Gang would have been wiped out long ago if one wasn't careful. But Jiu Xiao didn't care. His goal was to eradicate all of the Five Flying Gang's henchmen in Tokyo.

To avoid arousing Zi Yuan Xian Yi's suspicion and alerting him, Jiu Xiao feigned tears and said, "I, Yuan Jiu Xiao, will never forget Mr. Zi Yuan's great kindness! Becoming a true core figure in the Five Flying Soaring Society has always been my dream. With the permanent antidote, I can better serve the Five Flying Soaring Society and be at Mr. Zi Yuan's beck and call."
