A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Having experienced the cutthroat world of the workplace, Mai Zhuo's mind was instantly flooded with images of conflict. She could hardly believe that Wan Gui was such a two-faced person, appearing incredibly magnanimous in front of Li Wei but acting completely different in private. Wan Gui said, "Within your body, there is likely a power called 'Orochi Power,' a power that can harm both yourself and others. I need to test you to determine if you carry this power."

"Orochi power? What is that?" Mature didn't get the words she expected. To her, Manki's words were like something out of a shonen manga. However, the term "Orochi power" sounded pretty cool.

…ask for flowers.

Wan Gui gently rolled up the long sleeves of her shrine maiden outfit and placed her delicate hand on Mai Zhuo's wrist. The two extremely beautiful hands came together, and even though they were both women, such close physical contact still made Mai Zhuo feel a little shy, especially when Wan Gui leaned closer and lowered her body. She could even feel the heat of Wan Gui's breath.

When Wan Gui placed his hand on Mai Zhuo's wrist, Mai Zhuo felt an electric shock throughout her body. It was a fear like an animal encountering its natural enemy. Instantly, she felt an urge to run away.

"What's going on?! My body isn't obeying my commands anymore!" Mai Zhuo exclaimed in surprise.

"That's because the dormant serpent power within you has been stimulated and is now agitated. Once the serpent power within you awakens, an ancient soul will usurp your place, and you will no longer be yourself," Wan Gui said solemnly.

"Is the situation that serious? My soul will be replaced? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? Do souls really exist?" Mai Zhuo said in surprise.

Wan Gui said with a serious expression, "In modern terms, you are currently in a state of split personality. Mai Zhuo is the normal personality on the surface, while there is a hidden personality inside you. This hidden personality is extremely evil and brutal. Once she awakens, she will devour you."

Seeing Mai Zhuo's bewildered expression, Wan Gui continued, "Think carefully, have you ever suddenly lost control or lost a part of your memory?"

Mai Zhuo felt a chill run down her spine because she had actually experienced losing control and memory loss before. Once, she lost control when a group of boys mocked her for being strong and a bull. She inexplicably felt a surge of anger and beat more than twenty boys so badly that they ended up in the hospital. If her parents hadn't hired a very good lawyer to exonerate her, she might have ended up in a re-education center for a year or two.

She also experienced memory loss. When she regained consciousness, she found that everything around her looked like it had been bombed, a scene of ruins. She knew that she was the one who did it, and she was terrified of this uncontrollable version of herself.

Unexpectedly, an ancient soul lurked within her, and she felt fear.

Chapter 332. Wan Gui's Little Thoughts

Mai Zhuo was also somewhat flustered about her current situation. After all, Wan Gui wasn't just making things up. She had experienced the situations Wan Gui described before, but it was her biggest secret, and she hadn't even mentioned it to Li Wei.

After all, the fact that she was a monster was something she never wanted to face. She had always wanted to forget her special characteristics. However, now, the truth has been revealed: it wasn't that she herself was a monster, but rather that a monster was lurking within her.

"Ancient soul"—this phrase alone suggests that she is no ordinary being. How could an ordinary person like her possibly contend with such a being?

She initially thought it was just a hidden danger, but it turned out to be a landmine that could explode at any moment. Once it exploded, she would be finished.

Mai Zhuo said anxiously, "Then how should this situation be resolved? Since Miss Wan Gui '087' can see the problem, there must be a solution, right?"

Wan Gui nodded and said, "I do have a way to seal it, but this seal still has hidden dangers. It can only guarantee a stable period of 30 years at most. The best way to deal with it is to let Li Weijun take action and let him perform a permanent seal."

Li Wei's strength is far superior to hers. If she can only guarantee a barely secure seal for twenty or thirty years, then Li Wei will be able to achieve a permanent solution.

If there's a better way, there's naturally no need for her to take action.

Hearing that her problem was solvable, Mai Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't unsolvable, that was fine. After all, she was still young and hadn't lived enough yet. She had finally met someone she liked, but hadn't been able to express her feelings to him. To leave like this would be something she would never be willing to accept.

Mai Zhuo smiled with relief and said, "As long as it's a problem that can be solved, it's fine. After all, Miss Wan Gui, you are the first person to know my secret. There is another soul hidden inside my body. This kind of thing is a bit scary."

Mai Zhuo had been hiding this secret all along. It wasn't that she intentionally wanted to conceal her problem from those around her, but rather that she was afraid of being looked at with prejudice again. The unpleasant memories of her childhood had become a knot in her heart, and that was why she was unwilling to talk about it, even though she knew that it carried huge risks.

Wan Gui laughed and said, "Some secrets, if kept in your heart for too long, will make you feel suffocated. I'm happy to be your confidant. I'm a pretty tight-lipped person."

Mai Zhuo felt a warmth in her heart. She had previously feared that Wan Gui was two-faced, but it turned out she had been overthinking it. Wan Gui had seen through the hidden danger in her body and was willing to offer a solution, which made her feel favorably towards him. Wan Gui stood up and smiled, "Now that we know what the problem is, the solution is simple. In the next few days, I will discuss a plan with Li Weijun to completely eliminate the hidden danger in your body." Wan Gui also breathed a sigh of relief, while marveling at his and Li Weijun's luck. By a twist of fate, they had been able to encounter an unawakened inheritor of the power of the Eight Heroes.

If the power within Mature can be sealed here, Goenitz will lose a general. Each member of the Eight Orochi Warriors is an irreplaceable top-tier fighting force for the Orochi Familia.

The eight heroes who inherited the power of the Eight Orochi varied in strength before awakening the power within them, and were not particularly strong overall before it was fully developed.

However, once the power within is awakened, the ancient soul awakens, and the unawakened personality will be washed away by the vast memories of the ancient soul. In a sense, the power inheritor has already "died" at this point, and what continues to exist in the world is the Eight Orochi Clan, not the power inheritor himself.

This is crucial intelligence that the Kagura family obtained at a bloody cost, which is why Manki wanted to seal Mature's power.

As long as the previous power inheritor does not die, the power of the Eight Orochi Warriors will not be reincarnated again. Using this method, a high-end combatant of the Orochi clan can be directly crippled for decades.

Although Li Wei said that he would settle the score with Orochi before the millennium and completely end the tragic fate of the Kagura family, the more chances of winning, the better. The safest way to win is to strengthen one's own side as much as possible and weaken the opponent.

Mai Zhuo felt somewhat grateful to Wan Gui, but this was also the result Wan Gui wanted. By trying her best to get along with the other girls while maintaining her authority and approachability as the first wife, she was confident that she could secure her position...

Mai Zhuo said, "I am very grateful for your reminder, Miss Wan Gui. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have known that my current situation was so dangerous." Wan Gui smiled and said, "I don't want to see anything happen to you, and neither does Li Weijun."

Although the two are about the same age, Mai Zhuo feels like she is facing a reliable older sister. However, this feeling is not bad. For her easygoing nature, being able to be protected and not having to be exposed to the elements like before is a kind of luck.

Mai Zhuo's personality is somewhat "lazy." She knows she is somewhat "unambitious," but she just can't change this habit. As long as she can live her life peacefully and not be humiliated, she is already content.

Now, this small wish has been fulfilled, and being easily satisfied, she has no further ambitions or desires.

"Miss Wan Gui, you seem like an older sister, no, I should say the eldest sister in a family," Mai Zhuo said with admiration.

Wan Gui smiled. This was exactly the effect she wanted. Once everyone accepted her as the "elder sister," she would naturally become the "elder sister" of all the girls.

After Wan Gui left Mai Zhuo's room, Li Wei also withdrew his senses. Li Wei was well aware of Wan Gui's shady intentions. Where there are people, there is conflict. In a large family with many girls, various problems will naturally arise; this is unavoidable.

If they were on a floating island, Li Wei would be able to completely control the situation because of his absolute control over time. However, outside the island, he would not be able to be absolutely thorough in every aspect.

Therefore, he turns a blind eye to Wan Gui's little tricks. As long as Wan Gui doesn't go too far, he will pretend not to see them.

However, becoming the mistress of the harem is no easy feat for Wan Gui. Her competitors extend far beyond the girls of this world; she also faces the group of beautiful women on Li Wei's floating island. In this vast harem, becoming Li Wei's trusted advisor is no easy task.

Chapter 333. The Morning Meeting

The next morning, Wan Gui arrived at Li Wei's room. Having become very familiar with Li Wei, she no longer needed to be as formal as before. She quietly opened the door to Li Wei's room and tiptoed inside.

She knew that Li Wei was someone who liked to sleep in late, so if she went in at this time, Li Wei would most likely be asleep.

Li Wei's control over his thought circuits has become increasingly unrestricted. He can now do things similar to a dolphin, activating some of his thought circuits while keeping others dormant. By using this rotational rest system, he ensures that his control over his puppet clones will not be interrupted.

This also allows him to react to external stimuli at any time. In other words, he is always awake, yet always resting, something that ordinary humans cannot do.

When Wan Gui gently pulled open the paper door, she had already been exposed. However, Li Wei did not open his eyes. There was still some time before he had to get up. For him, who was used to waking up late, getting up a little earlier made him feel uncomfortable.

Wan Gui tiptoed to Li Wei's side and sat down. She loved watching Li Wei sleep. Normally, Li Wei was as warm as the sun, but when he closed his eyes, he had a cold and aloof feeling like the moon. This huge contrast was irresistible to any woman.

Li Wei's face is quite three-dimensional, somewhat similar to Mai Zhuo's. He has both the Eastern-style sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, as well as the Western-style three-dimensional features. All the "beauty" can be found on this face.

Wan Gui sometimes thinks to himself that if Li Wei became a male escort, the wealthy wives and young ladies would probably wear down the doorstep of the male escort club, and they would all be vying to order Li Wei's services.

Wan Gui gently reached out and poked Li Wei's face with his fingers. Li Wei's skin was not the delicate, fair skin of those pretty boys, but a healthy, elastic feel, dry and firm, without the slightest greasiness.

Human pores naturally secrete various oil-like substances, which is unavoidable. No matter how handsome or beautiful a person is, if they don't take care of their skin, it will appear oily.

Even in the Shiranui ninja clan, located deep in the mountains, they used to send people out to purchase supplies every month. In addition to various foods, they would also purchase a lot of women's products, such as sanitary napkins, cosmetics, and skin care products. These are unavoidable expenses for women.

Although the unique chakra refining method of the Shiranui-ryu school allows women who practice Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu to maintain a youthful and beautiful appearance for a long time, this beauty will be diminished if they do not take good care of themselves.

Without this special cultivation method, Wan Gui and Qian He spend the equivalent of half a month's salary for ordinary people on health products every month, and this is already the result of the two being very frugal.

As an extraordinary being, Li Wei is able to control his own endocrine system. He no longer needs the oil on his skin to protect his stratum corneum. After all, he is now constantly moving towards becoming a "perfect being".

The troubles of ordinary people are no problem for Li Wei at all.

Wan Gui pinched Li Wei's cheek, applying gentle pressure. As she pulled, Li Wei's cheek deformed slightly, making him look somewhat comical. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but when Li Wei was conscious, she never had the chance. Now, however, it was her time to do as she pleased.

Looking at Li Wei's slightly comical face, Wan Gui covered his mouth, afraid that he would burst out laughing.

Just then, a soft tug at the door startled Wan Gui. She almost made a sound, and when she turned around, she saw Qian He.

Wan Gui quickly made a shushing gesture. Seeing this, Qian He nodded and slowed her pace. They all knew that Li Wei had a habit of sleeping in late, and under normal circumstances, Li Wei would need another half hour to get up.

Qianhe tiptoed to Li Wei's side, straightened her robes, and sat down. Wan Gui whispered, "I didn't expect you to come this way."

“Sister, you’re the one who’s getting so close to Li Weijun despite being a guardian priestess. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to control yourself?” Chizuru teased.

“I have that much self-control, you don’t need to worry about it,” Wan Gui said.

Both of them kept their voices very low, afraid of waking Li Wei. After all, sneaking into Li Wei's room while he was asleep was not something they could talk about openly. If Li Wei woke up at this time, they would both feel embarrassed.

Chizuru looked at Li Wei's sleeping face with a worried expression and said, "This is really troublesome. There are more and more girls around Li Wei. This man really knows how to attract attention."

Wan Gui laughed, "Isn't this normal? Do you think you're the only one who likes Li Weijun? The current situation is that even if you divide Li Weijun into countless pieces like cutting a cake, it still won't be enough." Li Wei, pretending to be asleep, wanted to retort inwardly as he listened to Wan Gui's words. Don't say such terrifying things with that smirk! It feels like he's about to unleash a yandere-like tantrum at any moment.

There aren't enough to go around here. Once everyone gets to the floating island, all these messy problems will disappear.

Chizuru said, "No woman would willingly share her man with other women. This philandering bastard probably can't understand that feeling. But every girl around him stays by his side for various unavoidable reasons. What can I say in that situation?"

Wan Gui laughed and said, "It's no use feeling resentful. After all, you can't possibly drive away all the girls around Li Weijun. Athena can only stay by Li Weijun's side now; if she leaves, she will die. As for Wu and the others, they were able to complete the transformation of their school only because of Li Weijun's support. Once they leave Li Weijun, they will be reduced to their original state. After all, the Shiranui School's profitability is really too poor, and Li Weijun is essentially their lord."

Furthermore, Wan Gui hasn't mentioned Li Wei's butler, Joan, his secretary, Mature, or Sakazaki Yuri, the daughter of the Kyokugenryu Gym Leader.

These girls all harbor feelings for Li Wei that go far beyond friendship; to put it bluntly, they have romantic feelings for him. Chizuru faces a considerable number of competitors.

Chapter 4. The Orochi Kintae in Action

The atmosphere between the two seemed a bit strange. Chizuru said, "Last night, our informant, who was lying in wait within the Orochi Familia, sent back intelligence that the Orochi Familia has discovered a suspected successor to the power of the Jeju in Europe. Goenitz is preparing to personally go to Europe."

Wan Gui asked with some surprise, "Is the information reliable?"

Chizuru shook her head and said, "No one can guarantee anything about this. The informant over there only sent back this message and then cut off contact. He was afraid that he would be discovered by the other members of the Orochi Kin."

The Orochi Familia is not a monolithic entity; not everyone wants to follow Goenitz in destroying all of humanity. If humanity is destroyed, the current prosperous and convenient life will be completely ruined. Therefore, there are some members of the Orochi Familia who do not want Orochi to be resurrected.

Several of them even hold considerable positions within the Orochi Familia. Apart from Goenitz's surprise attack last time, the two sisters are usually able to get some information about the Orochi Familia's major moves.

The reason why no intelligence was leaked out during the last raid was because Goenitz personally led the team and selected his men to prevent leaks. Before the Kagura family's informants could get the news, Goenitz had already led his men to the Kagura family, catching them completely off guard.

If Li Wei hadn't taken precautions beforehand, Wan Gui would definitely have been in trouble.

And this time, the news came out just in time.

Chizuru said, "Now that Li Weijun has a way to locate Goenitz, we can completely turn the tables on him and find the successor of the power of the Jeju. If we can win him over, that would be the best thing. Even if we can't win him over, we must not let the Orochi Familia succeed."
