Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

He was lost in thought, and Li Fuyao, as if she knew what he was thinking, rolled her eyes at him and continued speaking.
“My maternal grandfather had few children, only one son and one daughter. He doted on my mother from a young age. Although my father was down on his luck, he was skilled in internal energy cultivation and his martial arts skills were superb. At that time, it was the early stage of the ‘Extraordinary Revival’, and extraordinary abilities were especially valuable. My father and my third uncle working together were of great value in the eyes of those merchants.”
"How could my maternal grandfather bear to separate my mother and my husband? He was extremely cold-blooded to outsiders and very strict with my uncle, but he was extremely obedient and doting on my mother. In addition, he felt that my father was a person worthy of entrusting one's life to, so he didn't really interfere too much."
"But out of consideration for his reputation, he certainly couldn't just accept his father like that, otherwise the Phoenix House would become a laughing stock. So, he outwardly severed ties with his mother, and for various reasons, the collateral relatives all took advantage of his father and mother's misfortune."
"They're not good enough."
"Later, my uncle died of a serious illness. My maternal grandfather's branch of the family was left with only my mother as the sole bloodline. So my mother had no choice but to return to Kyoto to help my maternal grandfather with his business. My father, on the other hand, was proud and arrogant. He was always ridiculed when he came to the Phoenix House. He couldn't stand it, so he stayed in Tokyo."
"You've seen his stubborn temper before."
"Although it's not good for me to say this, my mother's business acumen and insight are really terrible. She didn't learn these things from elementary school, so since I was old enough to understand, I've mostly been in charge of managing my maternal grandfather's affairs."
Uesugi Kiyoshi roughly understood the situation and clicked his tongue in disbelief.
"So, you invested in the Collectors' Association?"
"No wonder the books in the association's database overlapped so much with those in your bookstore."
"So, should I call you Boss Lady?"
Hearing Uesugi Sei's unrestrained remarks, Li Fuyao glared at him reproachfully.
"Hmph, how would I know you would end up there by some twist of fate—knowing you as I do, you shouldn't like being in groups."
Well, if we consider his personality as the Lord of a Hundred Demons in his previous life, he probably wouldn't join an organization. However, in this life, Uesugi Kiyoshi is more like that poor scholar from the Celestial Empire. His personality has been "reset" and hasn't been tempered by the passage of time. Therefore, he is not opposed to joining an organization.
This might be why Li Fuyao didn't expect this.
"It's not just about financial support; I was the one who planned and established the Collectors Association."
Li Fuyao then revealed another somewhat surprising piece of news.
“Akutagawa probably mentions the ‘headquarters’ to you often, right? The headquarters of the Collectors Association. I’m the one who made the contact.”
"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain in detail. The so-called 'headquarters' of the Collectors Association is actually a small group composed of several international extraordinary organizations, similar to a 'society,' and its name is the 'Supreme Council.'"
"The parliament oversees collectors' associations around the world and, through votes by its members, decides on emergency response plans for most important supernatural disasters."
"The members of parliament come from different countries and different organizations, but what they have in common is that these [members of parliament] are all ridiculously strong on some level."
"And I come from the [Witch Society], and after some complicated negotiations, I obtained full agency rights from the Japan Collectors Association."
"Hmm, how old was I back then? Seven, eight? Or ten? I can't remember."
"Anyway, as soon as I could remember, I awakened my memories, and then I started helping my mother and grandfather, while also planning the cultivation of extraordinary power, in order to accumulate more capital for your future return."
"I worked incredibly hard!"
Li Fuyao drew out a long note, her expression somewhat aggrieved. She wrinkled her little nose, disregarded her image, and lay on the table, looking pitifully at Uesugi Kiyoshi.
When Uesugi Kiyoshi heard Li Fuyao, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly act coquettishly, he was caught off guard and his heart softened instantly.
He felt both grateful and guilty towards his former subordinates who, even after a thousand years, still gathered around him.
Among them, Li Fuyao is the most unique.
Uesugi Kiyoshi knew very well that his dependence had eventually transformed into an unwavering and devoted relationship.
Before he could offer any words of comfort, Li Fuyao didn't actually need anyone's comfort.
Her inner strength is greater than that of most people in this world.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to complain to you anymore."
"I've been in meetings all day and have a family meeting tonight. I finally managed to find some time to see you."
"I'm leaving."
"Anyway, you can do whatever you want with the Collectors Association's decisions."
"The reason why Akutagawa was chosen as chairman was because he, or rather the Akutagawa family, were too bureaucratic."
"A thoroughly middle-class Japanese, very easy to control. He can't escape my grasp, so... feel free to order your chairman around!"
Recalling Akutagawa Ryunosuke's actions, Uesugi Kiyoshiro agreed.
Akutagawa's values and worldview are based on the traditional mindset of middle-class Chinese.
After a moment of silence for three seconds for the president who was completely outmaneuvered but unaware of it, Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up with Li Fuyao.
"I will send you back."
Li Fu waved his hand: "No need, someone brought me here, you go ahead with your work."
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned slightly, but walked unmoved to Li Fuyao's side.
I want to stay with you a little longer.
Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao's eyes and brows were immediately filled with a gentle smile.
She naturally straddled Uesugi Kiyoshi's arm and nodded with a smile.
"Then let's go~"
"You'd better protect the boss's wife!"
Chapter 301 The Light Bulb Shrine Maiden
The two walked downstairs hand in hand, looking very affectionate, attracting many envious glances.
Putting everything else aside, they are indeed a perfect match, a golden couple, and they complement each other beautifully when they are together.
From looks to temperament, the two are a perfect match, leaving no room for criticism.
Uesugi Kiyoshi kept talking, giving some rather rambling instructions.
"Don't overwork yourself. Let me help you with some of the work if you can't do it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao chuckled softly, covering her mouth, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a very meaningful gaze.
"Hey, who was it that dumped all the affairs of Musashi Province on me back then, becoming a hands-off manager and only caring about practicing swordsmanship?"
"And now you actually have the audacity to offer to help me?"
"I'd be grateful if you didn't cause any trouble."
Uesugi Kiyoshi was speechless and unable to refute.
"Well, Grandpa's health has been getting worse lately, and I'm getting more and more work. He joked with me the other day that I should hurry up and find a good husband to marry, have a child and let him raise it so that his lineage of Phoenix Academy can continue."
"After thinking about it carefully, it seems he wasn't joking."
"You need to try harder, Mr. Uesugi."
Uesugi Kiyoshi was caught off guard by the implication and panicked, blurting out something he shouldn't have.
Is enjoying the company of grandchildren the ultimate dream of the elderly?
"Dong Wenjue also said the same thing to me in a dream - marrying into the family, having a son to inherit the family business or something."
"Isn't it too early to say now?"
This Uesugi-kun, who seems to be able to easily defeat ghosts and gods, actually doesn't seem to be very good at dealing with girls. What he just said basically covered all the pitfalls one could make in a conversation between a man and a woman.
As expected, Li Fuyao raised her eyebrows and glared angrily at Uesugi Kiyoshi, then tried to shake off his arm.
"Hmph, you seem quite unwilling. In that case, go find your Miss Dongwen there. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
"It's just having a child."
"I'll just find someone else!"
As soon as Uesugi Kiyoshi uttered those words, he sensed impending doom, and now it had come to pass. He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and instinctively pulled hard on Li Fuyao's slender hand.
Li Fuyao was only venting her anger; she had lost him for too long, how could she bear to really let him go?
With a pull, her somewhat frail body was drawn into Uesugi Kiyoshi's embrace.
Their eyes met, and remembering the green lamp that had always been by his side, he couldn't help but lower his head, bringing his breath close to Li Fuyao's delicate face, and exhaling a slightly damp and hot breath into her ear.
"you dare?"
"You are my Lady Qing."
"How can you have someone else's child?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar address, Li Fuyao's heart fluttered. Her eyes, which seemed to drip with water, were filled with alluring charm as she stared at the face that bore a striking resemblance to him, the face she had longed for day and night. She could not contain her emotions.
She wrapped her arms around Uesugi Kiyoshi's waist, her high heels slightly raised, her eyes unconsciously closed, her long eyelashes trembling, and her warm lips naturally pressed against the corner of Uesugi Kiyoshi's mouth.
A fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and just as Li Fuyao was about to back away, she was embraced by a pair of strong arms.
What came into view was Uesugi Kiyoshi's somewhat intense gaze.
That look seemed to say, "You've come to me, so don't even think about running away."
At dusk, the sunset was magnificent, illuminating the entrance of the resplendent French restaurant.
The young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes lowered his head and kissed the shy and beautiful girl, like a beautiful scene from a fairy tale.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Uesugi Kiyoshi could almost hear his heart pounding like it was about to burst out of his chest.
Li Fuyao's face was flushed, and she avoided looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.
"Have you kissed me enough?!"
Even her scolding voice was weak and feeble, soft and sweet, extremely cute.
Although Uesugi Kiyoshi is somewhat of a straight man, men can be self-taught in certain areas.
He lowered his voice, and his smile became ambiguous.
"Well, if I say no."
"Can we continue?"
"I want something a little deeper."
Li Fuyao's original calmness and indifference had long since vanished. She weakly punched Shangshan Qing's chest a few times, muttering complaints under her breath, but the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her true thoughts.
"Come on!!"
