Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

Tachibana Masamune stroked his chin and analyzed seriously, "It sounds like an offline meeting between online friends, but Chisei, aren't you worried that it might be a pyramid scheme or something? You might get tricked into it and then get beaten up. Besides, once you leave, I should retire. Maybe I'll have to take my meager retirement pension to France to bail you out."

Yuan Zhisheng quickly explained, "Dad, you're overthinking it. I'm quite good at fighting, after all. If I really get scammed, I can take the opportunity to destroy a pyramid scheme den, which would be doing a service to the people. Besides, I had a very pleasant conversation with that online friend, so he's definitely reliable."

He recently recommended some massage techniques from traditional Chinese medicine to me, suggesting I try them out. He said if I could combine Chinese and Western approaches, the profits would be huge!

"I see... In that case, selling sunscreen is a profitable business, and the best part is you can openly take advantage of girls. It's a win-win situation, a sure-fire way to make money, hehe..."

Tachibana Masamune raised an eyebrow and grinned lewdly like an old lecher.

Yuan Zhisheng was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had ever seen his father make such a lewd expression. It was so vivid that he couldn't tell whether his father was doing it on purpose or just being himself.

"Dad, you know I've always been shy and not good at dealing with girls at all. I just sell sunscreen."

Yuan Zhisheng chuckled dryly and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh dear, practice makes perfect. You might not be good at it the first time, but you'll be bolder the second time, and by the third time you can do whatever you want. There's an old saying in the East: 'If you're bold enough, even a female ghost can take maternity leave.' That's exactly the point."

Tachibana Masamune took a sip of strong liquor, and his old face turned a little red.

"Dad, while this kind of thing is very appealing, don't be so explicit about it."

Yuan Zhisheng felt ashamed. He suddenly realized that when his father got into a suave mood, he was completely out of the picture.

Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but tease, "You little rascal, I've known since we were kids that you have a hidden, brooding side."

"Dad, don't wrong me!"

"It's better to say too much than too little," Tachibana Masamune laughed heartily.

"So, Dad, does that mean you agree to let me go to France to sell sunscreen in the future?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, taking advantage of the moment.

"Oh my, needless to say, a father should naturally give his full support to his son's dreams."

"Dad, after hearing you say that, I..."

"Bastard!"

Tachibana Masamune, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly shouted angrily, his lewd face turning solemn.

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

Yuan Zhisheng helplessly shrugged, knowing that he had bluffed again.

Tachibana Masamune looked at him with exasperation, "Chisuke, look at how old I am! Can I live forever? No, I can't!"

Although I yearn for it, I am not a pure-blooded dragon after all. I cannot live forever, much less be resurrected. For an old man like me, I don't have many years left to live. One day I will have to step down from my position as the head of the Snake Clan.

"At that time, Chisei, you will have to take my place and lead the Snake-Headed Eight Families onward, instead of going to that beach in France to sell that damn sunscreen!"

"Why does that person have to be me?" Yuan Zhisheng smiled bitterly.

"Yes, why you? Why can't it be someone else? That way you can sell sunscreen without any worries, without the backstabbing and scheming, and without the fear of being assassinated by someone or a ghost. You just need to open your doors for business as usual every day, and you can win the favor of those sexy girls and even take advantage of them. As someone who's been there, how could I not understand the fun in it?"

Tachibana Masamune sighed deeply.

"But Chisei, you are Amaterasu no Mikoto. Your future is destined to be as dazzling as the sun. Only in your hands can the future of the Snake Clan reach its ultimate glory."

"Besides, didn't you want to protect Erii forever? Only by becoming the head of the family can you seize power and better use that power to protect Erii. You know the terrifying bloodline Erii inherited; although she's a monster, she's also a weapon of destruction coveted by many, and many forces secretly covet her."

Genji raised an eyebrow. "If that's how you put it, then things become simple. When I leave Tokyo, I'll take Erii with me to France to sell sunscreen. Maybe in that romantic country, she'll find her own perfect love."

"Bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Masamune nearly choked on a mouthful of strong liquor. "Are you sure any boy would dare to date Erii? Putting aside whether the other person could even stand up straight in front of Erii, even a perfectly normal kiss between lovers could result in the beloved boy having his head chopped off by the power of judgment. What do you expect Erii to use to win love?"

"Hiss, that's true."

Yuan Zhisheng pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

Erii's uncontrollable dragon blood ability is indeed a big problem. Any boy who dares to date her is playing with his life and must be prepared to be sliced ​​to pieces at any time.

but……

Is there another possibility?

Genji suddenly paused. If Erii truly loved a boy, she would definitely be careful to control her bloodline abilities, fearing that even a trace of judgment would cause her beloved boy to be severely injured or even sliced ​​to pieces.

If this is true, over time, Erii's control over her bloodline, which is like intensive training, and even the formation of muscle memory, will be absolutely beneficial to the girl herself. Not only that, but beautiful love will also follow. Erii will become a happy angel, no longer a monster trapped in a white cage. The girl may even wear a pure white wedding dress and walk with her beloved boy to that sacred hall.

This is absolutely fantastic!

With this exciting fantasy in mind, Genji unconsciously clenched his fists, and a maternal smile appeared on his lips.

He felt much more relaxed, as if the heavy burden he had been carrying had been lifted.

To outsiders, Genjiro is just a brother who dotes on his sister. In reality, he's just worried about Erii getting hurt, or that Erii might accidentally hurt someone else. As her older brother, Genjiro naturally hopes that his sister Erii can be happy, that a boy will love her unconditionally, and that he can eventually lead Erii to a happy ending.

But could there really be a boy who could make Erii's heart flutter so much...?

As Yuan Zhisheng was laughing, the image of Lin Ye holding a long sword and acting like a gigolo suddenly popped into his mind. The key point was that this guy was also teasing him with playful eyebrows. Yuan Zhisheng's maternal smile instantly froze on his face.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that this male escort was a joke. How dare that guy bewitch Erii and almost take advantage of her!

Yuan Zhisheng was so frustrated that he was practically spitting out thick smoke from his nose.

"Dad, I have to go back. Erii is going out to play tomorrow, so I need to make arrangements early."

Genji glanced at his watch.

Erii's every trip is treated as a very serious matter, otherwise, if an accident occurs, it will be a disaster.

"Go back, Chisei, and think carefully about what I said to you tonight."

"……Um."

After Genjiro left, Tachibana Masamune picked up a host poster and stared intently at Lin Ye's figure on it.

"What an interesting boy..."

With a wistful tone, Tachibana Masamune casually tossed the poster into the stove.

The intense flames suddenly rose, making the old man's deep face appear particularly sinister.

……

Takamagahara, the rooftop terrace.

Lin Ye, who was drinking with a humpback whale, sneezed violently.

"Could it be that Erii misses me?"

Lin Ye thought to himself narcissistically.

"Ah, Ah Ye, continue. Did you finally obtain the white cloak of the Flying Sword Style?"

"I asked the drunken humpback whale."

He had consumed almost 70% of a bottle of Lafite, and even though this bald, muscular man had a remarkable capacity for alcohol, he was now slumped limply in his chair.

"Of course, since I have already obtained the full mastery of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu style, I am naturally qualified to receive that white cloak. Half a month ago, I bid farewell to my sect and came to Tokyo, wanting to make a name for myself in this metropolis. However, I encountered a terrible storm while crossing the sea, and almost all my possessions were lost in that incident. I was left with only a pair of underwear to preserve my last shred of dignity."

Lin Ye looked dejected, speaking as if it were the truth.

Tonight's sword duel completely shocked Humpback Whale with his strength, and it also aroused his unprecedented curiosity about his background. During the past half hour, Lin Ye could not resist Humpback Whale's persistent coaxing and could only make up a story. He claimed that he was a direct descendant of a certain lineage of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu school, and that after he had achieved success in his studies, he bid farewell to his master and planned to develop his career in the metropolis of Tokyo.

Seeing Lin Ye's 'dejected' face, the humpback whale suddenly chuckled drunkenly, "Ye, you know what? The first time I saw you at the entrance of Takamagahara, even though you were only wearing your underwear, your bright eyes told me that you would definitely achieve great things in the future. I, the humpback whale, was right after all!"

"Thanks to the manager who took me in back then, otherwise how could I, Lin Ye, be where I am today? This drink is for you." Lin Ye said this sincerely.

If it weren't for the humpback whale taking him in, he might still be homeless, let alone have had the chance to meet Erii.

After saying that, Lin Ye drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Oh dear, Aya, you're being too polite. Besides, I'm counting on you to become a top-tier male flower arrangement artist, surpassing legendary male host like Kazama Ruri."

"Manager, you overestimate me, Lin Ye. How could I possibly be a god like Kazama-senpai? In the end, I'm just a nobody." Lin Ye scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

The humpback whale looked over with amusement. "Little punk? Ah Ye, you're quite the fighter in tonight's kendo match."

"There are always people more capable than you, I just haven't met any real experts yet," Lin Ye said without batting an eye.

"Ah fight!"

Upon hearing this, the drunken humpback whale leaped up from its seat like a madman, kicking the wooden chair next to it to pieces, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

"See that, Ah Ye? I used to train too. This level is already considered a master. But if I were to face you tonight, let's just say, in a duel, you could beat twenty of me."

The humpback whale grimaced and stretched its ankles and lower back in place. It had been many years since it had unleashed its full power, and that kick had not only injured its ankle but also strained its lower back.

"This one……"

Lin Ye's eye twitched; he hadn't expected the humpback whale to be so serious.

The humpback whale patted Lin Ye on the shoulder with a look of relief, "So, Ye, you definitely have the potential. How could the successor of the Flying Sword Style be a nobody? In the future, you must toughen yourself up, tough enough that no one can cut your spine. Only in this way can you boldly pursue the girl you love."

"Manager, aren't we going off-topic? What does my potential have to do with whether I pursue a girl I like? Besides, I don't have a girl I like right now," Lin Ye emphasized.

"No?" the humpback whale asked with amusement.

"No." Lin Ye shook his head firmly.

"Aya, a person's eyes don't lie. When that girl named Erii stood in front of you, you were already smitten."

"What the heck is 'heart fluttering'? I clearly..."

Lin Ye was about to retort, but the humpback whale showed him a photo without saying a word.

The moment his gaze met hers, Lin Ye froze.

Under the flowing light like water, a stunningly beautiful girl dressed as a shrine maiden reached out and pulled the boy's hand to her cheek, gently stroking it. Her ruby-like eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and a warm, happy smile graced her cherry-red lips.

In the photo, the boy looks dazed, staring at the girl with tears streaming down his face, filled with emotion and an indescribable longing.

A person's eyes can't lie.

Lin Ye shuddered as if he had been electrocuted when he thought of what the humpback whale had said earlier.

When he touched Erii's cheek, he felt that softness and beauty were real like never before. At that moment, Erii truly came to life in his heart.
