Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

His deep voice was filled with murderous intent, and his killing intent was made without any concealment. It surged towards Fang Rui like a burst dam, washing over him...

"Don't be so angry! The way Yato communicates isn't through fighting, is it? How can you expect the other person to listen to you quietly if you don't have the corresponding strength?"

Fang Rui smiled, not taking Feng Xian's words seriously, and casually retorted.

"Heh!" Feng Xian was too lazy to say anything, and focused all her energy on attacking, without holding back at all. All her attacks were aimed at killing Fang Rui.

Fang Rui was able to accurately block every attack from Feng Xian. The battlefield between the two gradually expanded, the walls crumbled one after another, and the house was on the verge of collapse.

Nichirin held a relatively high status in Yoshiwara. Some members of Hyakuka carried Nichirin out of the house, while the rest of the people were also fleeing, avoiding the ever-expanding battlefield.

At the same time, the dilapidated building drew curious and surprised glances from the crowd outside. The fact that the pavilion where the lord of Yoshiwara was located was about to collapse was the first such incident since the establishment of Yoshiwara, and everyone with free time was paying attention to it.

"Oh dear~ Mr. Fengxian, your strength is weaker than I imagined~"

Fang Rui had completely suppressed Feng Xian, beating him up while simultaneously infuriating him.

If the two sides were evenly matched, or if the two sides had the upper hand, Fengxian might have retorted a few words, but now that she is at a complete disadvantage, Fengxian, who believes that strength is paramount, will not deliberately refute anything.

"Just tell me what your purpose is!"

In the previous battles, his opponent had several opportunities to seriously injure him, but he did not do so. Instead, his opponent showed mercy and clearly wanted to beat him up but did not want to kill him.

At the same time, Fengxian was filled with amazement. During his time traveling through the stars, there was only one person who could go head-to-head with him and be evenly matched, namely, the Star Sea Monk - Shen Huang.

Now, there is someone who can dominate him, someone who is stronger and faster than him.

Fang Rui's appearance made Feng Xian feel that times have really changed, and the stage now belongs to young people.

"It's nothing, I just want Yoshiwara."

Fang Rui spoke in a relaxed tone about something very important: “I won’t touch your money. You can continue living in Yoshiwara. I can also give you a medicine that will allow you to live in the sunlight, but you cannot force others.”

"Oh, you mean you want me to live like an ordinary person, living with ordinary people?"

Feng Xian's expression remained unchanged; she did not show any anger at Fang Rui's words.

“I am stronger than you, so you have to do things my way. If you don’t want to, you can leave Yoshiwara.”

Fang Rui spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, saying some rather infuriating things, while waiting for Feng Xian's choice.

"...I agree to your request." After thinking for a while, a series of images floated into Fengxian's mind. Some were fragments of his past life, fighting in the interstellar space, living a dull and monotonous life. Others were memorable moments from his time with Rilun after they met. In the end, the answer naturally emerged in his mind.

He clearly prefers his current life; the adventures in space no longer ignite his passion.

"Very good." Upon hearing this, Fang Rui leaped backward, leaving the battlefield and no longer attacking Feng Xian.

Then he reached into his pocket, took out a porcelain bottle, and tossed it to Fengxian.

"This is the medicine that will make you unafraid of the sun. You can try it after you take it."

With that, Fang Rui turned and left. "Remember what you promised me. I'll give you a day to prepare. Don't let me down."

"Ha! That condescending tone...it reminds me of myself..."

Fengxian caught the medicine bottle, examined it for a while, and then looked at Fang Rui's back, smiling helplessly a few times.

Turning away from there, Fengxian was a pragmatic person. In fact, Fengxian, Shenwei, and Shenhuang were all similar. If your strength could earn their recognition, their attitude would change accordingly, and they would become more approachable.

Compared to Kamui, Hōsen and Kamui have worse personalities, but Hōsen is now obsessed with something, and Fang Rui's strength is overwhelming, directly shattering Hōsen's pride and causing his mind to change, which led to the current outcome.

"Let's find Hinowa first and then take her to see Seita!"

With that in mind, Fang Rui began searching for the Sun Wheel, but he had no idea where the Hundred Flowers Guard had hidden it.

We need to gather intelligence bit by bit, and then search...

Chapter 557 Meeting with Muddy Water Jirocho

The search for the Sun Wheel was relatively easy. The members of Baihua who carried the Sun Wheel away from the pavilion did not move it to other houses, but stayed next to a house on the left side of the pavilion, watching the excitement with the others.

Only after Fang Rui and Feng Xian finalized the deal, with one contacting the leader of Baihua to prepare for the transfer of power, and the other leaving the dilapidated luxury building and going outside...

"Oh! I've already talked to Fengxian. You can choose the life you like. Before you have any ideas, come with me to see someone, someone you once saved."

Fang Rui gestured to a member of the Hyakuka group to hand over the sun wheel to him, but the other party did not react immediately. The members of the Hyakuka group were divided into two parts: one part consisted of courtesans taken in by Tsukuyomi, and the other part consisted of girls who had been sold into Yoshiwara and orphans who had been taken in.

Compared to the former, the latter was more ruthless. Therefore, she did not follow Fang Rui's orders, but instead brandished her kunai and charged directly at Fang Rui.

Fang Rui showed no surprise at this, knocked him unconscious with a punch, and then carried Nichirin to Kabukicho.

It seems that Nichirin has been unable to move for more than ten years. How does she maintain her figure?

If ordinary people lack exercise, they will gradually become fat.

Yet, Nichirin's figure still maintains a good proportion, considering that her Achilles tendon has been severed and she is unable to move. How did she manage to do that?

Thinking this, Fang Rui gently pinched Ri Lun's leg, feeling its soft texture, lost in thought.

“Mr. Fang Rui…” Noticing Fang Rui’s actions, Hirawa did not feel ashamed. After all, she was a woman living in Yoshiwara. Even if she was valued by Housen, she would still learn what she needed to learn.

Therefore, Fang Rui's actions did not make her shy.

"Is there something wrong?" Fang Rui continued to pinch, his expression unchanged.

"Could you...stop pinching me?" Nichirin's tone was calm and indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation.

"No way." Fang Rui refused decisively, then changed the subject, "I have a question, how do you maintain your figure, especially your legs..."

Undeterred by Fang Rui's failure to convince him, Ri Lun answered Fang Rui's question instead, "My diet is strictly controlled. My three meals a day are prepared by a private nutritionist. I agree to exercise if I have the opportunity."

"Is that so?" Fang Rui's tone was light and casual. He was actually a little curious about the training methods of the Sun Wheel, but he didn't ask in detail...

Passersby would look surprised when they saw Nichirin's attire. Many people had seen the scene of a courtesan parading through the streets, and the clothes that Nichirin was wearing today were the clothes of a courtesan.

"She's actually the most beautiful courtesan?!"

"They've been redeemed?!"

"It's beautiful! It looks somewhat familiar..."

The murmurs came from all directions, but the two of them paid no attention, not even glancing at them, and continued talking to themselves.

"Where do you want to take me?" Sun Wheel asked.

"I said... I want to take you home and make you my wife, but you definitely wouldn't believe me, so I'll just say it directly!"

Smelling the rather strong fragrance, whether it was the scent of clothes or perfume, Fang Rui said softly, "The child you once saved is still alive..."

"And he always wanted to see you, which led him to be deceived by someone in Yoshiwara, and he kept giving the stolen money to that person."

"I don't really like tragedies. Since it's something I can handle, I'm going to take care of it and have you meet with him so you can talk..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui's gaze drifted into the distance, seemingly looking at something in the distance.

"Besides, bringing Yoshiwara under our control is also a preparation for the future."

After all, Yoshiwara would be a refuge if war broke out.

As she listened to Fang Rui's story, Ri Lun's thoughts gradually drifted away, as if she had returned to those days...

Some time later, the two arrived at the Otose Tavern.

Otose Izakaya is a relatively upscale izakaya, so it's busier at night than during the day.

Upon entering the pub, the two encountered a completely transformed Haruta, presumably having finished his story and been thrown into the bathroom for a wash...

"Yo! You're back~" Sakata Gintoki was the first to notice someone at the door. He looked at the two people at the door and raised his right arm to greet them.

Soon after, the others turned their attention to the sun, focusing their gaze on it.

The courtesan's attire was exceptionally gorgeous and eye-catching.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of courtesans could recognize them immediately, so the group had already guessed Hinowa's identity.

"You actually managed to snatch her away!" Sakata Gintoki exclaimed in astonishment.

Sakata Gintoki knew a bit about Yoshiwara. As a place that seemed orderly on the surface but was actually quite chaotic, it was impossible for it to be without a guard.

Fang Rui actually managed to escape unscathed with one person; that's truly impressive!

“How can you say it’s robbery? After a friendly discussion between me and Fengxian, he has decided to transfer Yoshiwara to me and assist me in its management.”

Fang Rui placed the sun on the sofa, then nudged Seita, and spoke to Sakata Gintoki and the others, while raising his right arm and pointing outside a few times.

"You...you're not lying to me?" Sakata Gintoki immediately stood up and followed Fang Rui outside. "Could I have a VIP card?"

"Gintoki, what are you thinking about?" Kagura asked from the side.

"Actually, I..." Shimura Shinpachi hesitated before leaving the tavern with the three of them.

Otose and Catherine, who were standing nearby, said nothing and left the tavern one after the other.

“I’m telling you, don’t say this in front of children.”

Inside the house, the scene of the mother and child meeting should not be disturbed by unrelated persons.

"Was what you said earlier true?"

Outside the tavern, a group of people stood in a row against the wall, and the one asking the question was Catherine.

"Of course it's true. Yoshiwara is now under my control. Mr. Otose, would you be interested in opening a branch in Yoshiwara?"

“No.” Otose’s answer was quite decisive. “I don’t have the extra energy to open a branch in Yoshiwara.”

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Catherine, "If there's a chance in the future, I might be able to recommend someone to you."

Noticing Otose's gaze, Fang Rui did not refuse, "Sure, I'm looking forward to the person you recommend."

Hearing the crying from inside the house, Shimura Shinpachi looked up at the clear blue sky and the numerous airships passing by.

"What should we eat tonight?"

“Since there’s good news, we should definitely celebrate.” Fang Rui immediately responded to Shimura Shinpachi’s words, “Let’s go to a yakiniku restaurant! It’s on me, you can bring your family…”

As he spoke, Fang Rui looked at Kagura.

The chaos in Yoshiwara will soon reach the knowledge of the space pirate Haruame, and the Senate will undoubtedly send someone to investigate. The choice will be the 7th Division...

After all, without some strength, one wouldn't be taken seriously by Fengxian.

There are very few people who can be highly regarded by Fengxian. Among all the division commanders of the space pirate Chunyu, there is only one person who can be highly regarded by him.

In the normal order, Umibozu should come here first to meet Kagura.

But now it seems Kamui will arrive first, and if he meets Kagura, they'll probably fight...
