Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Li Fuyao immediately understood.

"This book is not interesting. It is true that the writing is delicate and the language is gorgeous, but it is nothing more than a woman's lament about spring and autumn. I find it really boring and dull. It is not as interesting as the few original fairy tales by Andersen that I found before."

"However, it's not entirely without merit. If I'm not mistaken, the spirit of that Sei Shonagon should be hidden inside. This is a Mirror of Inheritance."

"Hmm, it has some collectible value."

"This is different."

The girl in white unfolded the scroll on the table with great interest, admiring it with some satisfaction, while also explaining it to the viewer.

"Although the name of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji is 'thirty-six,' it is actually forty-six paintings. These are Katsushika Hokusai's late works and classic ukiyo-e prints. I don't think I need to introduce them further."

"This is a genuine artifact of the gods and spirits."

"Forty-six ukiyo-e prints, subtly connected by incantations, most of which serve as the 'foundation' to enshrine those few 'magnificent paintings.' That Katsushika Hokusai was quite a genius."

With a flick of his finger, Li Fuyao caused a will-o'-the-wisp to disappear into a painting scroll, one of the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, titled "Gentle Breeze and Clear Skies."

In that instant, the rain outside gradually subsided, and the sunlight became much brighter. Unfortunately, a few seconds later, it returned to continuous drizzle.

This painting even has the ability to briefly change the weather.

"A gentle breeze and clear skies, the waves of Kanagawa, white rain at the foot of the mountain, snow in the Rekikawa River."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is much more valuable than that idle book."

Uesugi Kiyoshi heard everything he said, but he only understood a small part of it; he was really not interested in these paintings and calligraphy.

"As long as you like it."

He simply smiled and replied with that.

Li Fuyao stood up, bent down, and carefully gathered all the paintings together. After taking one last look, she sat back down in her chair with satisfaction, a smile on her face now more pronounced than before.

"Give it to me?"

"Qing~ Do you know that in my hometown, people usually give such a generous gift when they need something from someone?"

"You've chosen a great gift that suits my taste. Tell me what you need. As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll agree to anything."

As she spoke, a touch of allure appeared on Li Fuyao's face, finally bringing her demeanor back to the age she should belong to.

However, she underestimated Uesugi Kiyoshi's level of straightness.

"Well, I just wanted to use this to alleviate some of my guilt?"

He pondered for a long time before using this somewhat inappropriate word.

After saying that, he also felt a little uncomfortable, chuckled a few times, and sighed.

"I've been lonely and miserable since I was little, and few people have been kind to me. So once I receive a favor from someone, I always want to repay it as soon as possible. This habit has almost become a kind of mental illness."

“My master was good to me. I carried forward the Shin-Yin lineage for him, took care of Ah-Lin, and always did my best to follow his instructions. I even tried my best to help his friend’s daughter. Although I can hardly repay even a fraction of his kindness in teaching me, I have done my best and have no regrets.”

“Yu-yi is good to me. I never hesitate to help him with anything he asks me to do. Even if it means facing those tycoons and wealthy families, I would dare to draw my sword for him without fear or hesitation.”

"."

"You've saved me from danger time and time again, and guided me on things I didn't understand, but..."

"You don't need me."

By the end, Uesugi Kiyoshi's facial features were almost contorted, his expression was extremely conflicted, he was grimacing, like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder was having an episode, and he even looked a little aggrieved.

This made Li Fuyao chuckle to herself. But then she realized how adorable the boy in front of her was. He was completely different from his cold-blooded indifference during battle and his usual calm demeanor. It was quite amusing.

Hmm. As interesting as ever.

"It seems I was too naive to expect you to say a few sweet words."

Li Fuyao didn't stand on ceremony. She sighed helplessly, but her expression showed no sign of anger.

Although the gift was of no practical use to her, it was prepared with care. Even though this was Uesugi Kiyoshi's usual style, it still made Li Fuyao much happier.

Uesugi Kiyoshi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "If you want to hear sweet words, I know a little bit about them too."

Li Fuyao gave a cute pout, clearly uninterested in the forced result, and changed the subject.

"Alright, I'll accept the gift. I've been studying ukiyo-e techniques lately, so this is a real lifesaver."

"Well then, kind-hearted Uesugi-kun, if there's really nothing else, I'll be closing up shop now~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the wall clock with surprise and frowned, "So early today?"

"Yeah, I'm going home to pack my things today. I'm going to Kyoto in a couple of days, so you might not see me for a while. So don't keep anything to yourself."

"I'll bring you a present~"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips and subconsciously asked, "Go to Kyoto? What for?"

Li Fuyao didn't mind that this was a private matter, and casually said, "My mother has some things to take care of, and I also have to attend a class reunion and visit some old friends. It seems like I'm quite busy."

"It might take a while, but I should be back once it's done."

"Please call me if it's urgent."

Uesugi Kiyoshi spoke to Li Fuyao in a tone as if they were ordinary friends about to embark on a long journey, which was perfectly normal. However, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt somewhat uneasy after hearing the news.

I've been coming here a lot these past few days to kill time. It seems he's gotten used to the faint sandalwood scent, and he misses it a little when he can't smell it anymore.

However, he did not show this emotion, but instead restrained himself and smiled slightly.

"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road."

"However, since you are going on a long journey..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi took the sake bottle from his waist and placed it on the table somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm completely out of ammunition and supplies. If it's convenient for you, could you help me get some more?"

These past few days, when he was consuming mirage energy, he would take some medicinal wine as an aid, and the effect was remarkable. The feeling of sinking into depravity had not invaded his consciousness for a long time.

However, as a consumable item, the small wine flask that Li Fuyao gave him was already almost empty.

This request did not surprise Li Fuyao. The girl smiled and extended her slender, fair fingers, gently flicking them onto the wine pot.

A crisp chime rang out, followed by the gurgling sound of flowing water. Before long, the small wine pot was full.

This feat of creating something out of nothing slightly moved Uesugi Kiyoshi; he couldn't do that now.

His mirage tower could store some extraordinary artifacts, but he couldn't take back this medicinal wine no matter what he did. However, he wasn't surprised by what this girl, whose identity he was certain was that of the "Blue Lantern" soul, would do.

In some mysterious way, Uesugi Kiyoshi had a premonition.

This seemingly delicate girl, if she really fought, I probably wouldn't be her match.

She has even more secrets than I, the time traveler.

However, their relationship is now somewhat ambiguous and delicate. They both avoid talking about those "secrets." If they were to openly discuss certain things, regardless of whether things would go smoothly, their comfortable and harmonious atmosphere would definitely be replaced by awkwardness.

Uesugi Kiyoshi wasn't exactly a curious person; if Li Fuyao didn't say anything, he really could hold back from asking.

After replenishing Uesugi Kiyoshi's "ammunition," Li Fuyao cautioned, "This stuff doesn't have many side effects, but you should drink it in moderation. Be careful not to develop an alcohol addiction and become an alcoholic."

"This kind of Shaoxing wine that I brew myself is very addictive. My third uncle is like that. After drinking it once, he feels like he's being tormented by a cat's paw when he can't drink it anymore. It's very distressing."

Uesugi Kiyoshi blinked, and for some reason thought of the "sweet words" Li Fuyao had just said, and a few words suddenly came to his lips.

"It's addictive!"

"Hmm, I think it's the people who make the wine that are more addictive to me than the wine itself."

What's done is done. He realized his words were somewhat frivolous as soon as they left his mouth, but it was too late to take them back.

Li Fuyao, sitting opposite him, was clearly taken aback for a moment. She blinked like Uesugi Kiyoshi, and her smile suddenly became brighter, perfectly concealing the barely noticeable blush on her face.

"Sometimes you're like a block of wood, but other times you know how to charm girls~"

Chapter 192 This is a god

Uesugi Kiyoshi has little practical experience in using sweet talk to deceive girls. Whether in his past life or this one, his time is always very tightly scheduled, and romance is hard to squeeze into his plans.

After blurting out his words, he remained silent for a long time before finally saying with a wry smile, "I'm sorry."

Li Fuyao smiled, her eyes crinkling, stood up, walked to Uesugi Kiyoshi's side, bent down, and carefully examined his expression. She was all smiles and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Look, it's turned into wood again."

Then, she added in her mind, "But... it's not so bad this way—at least I won't be attracting girls everywhere, right?"

She certainly couldn't say that aloud, so what came out of her mouth was, "Ah, how cute~".

Her tone was flippant; she sounded like a playboy harassing a respectable woman.

In his previous life, Uesugi Kiyoshi was often praised. Some people complimented his appearance, some admired his academic excellence, and some were overwhelmed by his wooden sword and admired his strength. But being called "cute" was truly a first for him.

He wanted to argue, but couldn't think of a reason, so he could only give a wry smile, shake his head, and look resigned to his fate.

Li Fuyao's pretty face was only three inches away from Shangshan Qing's lips. Her breath was so fragrant that he could smell it clearly. Before he could react, he heard Li Fuyao softly say something that made him tremble.

"Well, Kiyoshi, I'll take your words as a compliment."

"but."

"Between me and your little white rabbit, who's more addictive to you?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't even need to think to know who Li Fuyao was talking about.

It must be Nohara Kyoko.

There are quite a few girls he's involved with now, but if other names appeared here, such as Higashimaki Maki and Kamiizumi Rin, he would definitely be able to make a judgment in his heart without any guilt.

At least so far, he has not had any inappropriate thoughts about his junior sister and the eldest daughter of the Dongwen family, and treats them as "brother and sister" and "master and disciple".

But Kyoko Nohara...

Uesugi Kiyoshi, with his strong competitive spirit, is somewhat chauvinistic, while Nohara Kyoko is, in many ways, the perfect candidate to be a traditional Japanese wife—in short, a perfect match for him.

She obeys him completely, never refuses his requests, is an expert at housework, is sensible and polite, and has exceptional looks and physique. Her heart is entirely devoted to him.

Lately, Uesugi Kiyoshi has gradually gotten used to the presence of this little white rabbit in his life. If she were to leave one day, he would probably find it hard to accept.

In truth, his initial feelings for Nohara Kyoko were merely pitiful.

But, pity, pity, and from pity to love, doesn't seem to be a very difficult thing.
