"Huh? I even told my friends and family that after I went to Asia, I probably wouldn't be back for a year or two!" Sharmi was completely dumbfounded.

Wei Si laughed and said, "Haha, Sharmi, you're so cute. If it's inconvenient for you to show your face here, you can stay here tonight."

Shermie looked at Li Wei with a resentful gaze, her cheeks puffed out slightly, making her look as cute as a big hamster. Even Wei Si next to her couldn't help but hug her and knead her like a rag doll.

Watching from the sidelines, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how pleasing it was to see girls playfully bickering.

Chapter 1. Returning to Neon

Li Wei said, "Because of my special abilities, I can travel quickly around the world. I came to Europe to stop a conspiracy that could destroy humanity. Now that the conspiracy has been thwarted, I'm preparing to return to Asia. However, considering the significant time difference between the two places, you can adjust to the time difference before heading to Asia, as it's still nighttime there."

Wei Si released Shermie, who was laughing so hard she was breathless from being tickled, and said, "Is this to prepare us to stay in Asia for a long time, so we're dealing with jet lag?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "Europe is not my home turf, and I'm not used to the lifestyle here, so I spend most of my time in Japan, Asia."

Li Wei would like to stay in China, but the country is not yet fully developed, and he cannot bring a dangerous event like the King of Fighters tournament to China.

By holding the Asian leg of the King of Fighters tournament in Japan, even if something goes wrong, it's the Japanese who suffer; he wouldn't care how many people die. The King of Fighters tournament has always been fraught with disasters, and he doesn't want to bring such trouble back to his country.

Previously in the world of Highschool of the Dead, Li Wei used the God-Abomination Puppet to destroy the world. Except for the Kingdom of Chong, he ravaged every country in the world, leaving no survivors, regardless of age or gender. Even the Little Mustache back then did not do such a ruthless thing.

However, this also brought enormous benefits to the people of that world. When everyone on Earth except for the people of the Okinawan Kingdom died, what a joyous occasion that would be! This meant that the Okinawan Kingdom in the Highschool of the Dead world gained access to the entire Earth, and the per capita ownership instantly increased dozens of times. Just consuming this enormous "gift" would take the people of that world decades or even centuries.

This is also Li Wei's attitude. He is ruthless towards outsiders, but he is extremely kind to his compatriots. Even if there are some scoundrels among his compatriots, it will not affect his kindness towards the whole community.

That is why, even though the King of Fighters tournament has extremely high economic value, Li Wei does not intend to bring it to China. Although the King of Fighters tournament will boost the local economy, it will also lead to a deterioration of public security. It is a double-edged sword, and one that will inevitably hurt oneself when used.

“I’ve never been to Asia before, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve heard that the quality of life there in Japan isn’t much worse than in Europe. Maybe it’ll be a great place to live,” Wei Si said with a smile.

Li Wei smiled without saying anything. In reality, it's pretty much the same everywhere. It's not that any place is absolutely livable. Whether a place is livable or not depends on how much money one has.

The rich can enjoy a life of luxury anywhere, while the poor live the same life no matter where they are; they just suffer in different places.

Li Wei said, "Let's rest first. I know you might not be able to sleep right now, but if you don't sleep now, you'll still have to adjust to the time difference when you get there."

Seeing Li Wei's amused smile, Wei Si put her arm around Xia Ermi beside her and said, "If the two of you go together, are you sure you can handle it?"

Hearing Wei Si's "provocative" words, Li Wei laughed and said, "You'll see how powerful I am in a moment. There's no point in saying anything now. We'll find out when we have a real fight."

"Alright then, let's see if you have the ability." With that, Viss took the still somewhat bewildered Shermie upstairs and headed towards the master bedroom.

"Huh? What happened? Why are we here?" The innocent Sharm had no idea what was about to happen.

Wei Si pulled her wrist and said, "You'll find out soon enough. Come with me. I can tell you don't have much experience. Just listen to my instructions."

"Follow orders? What's this about?" Sharmi asked.

"Go in, you'll find out soon enough." Wei Si smiled happily.

........................

After adjusting to the time difference, Li Wei led the two of them and activated the spell. Space was distorted, and the spaces in the two places resonated and then linked together, forming a safe passage.

Li Wei's mastery of "qi" allows him to do all sorts of incredible things. Spatial teleportation is one of the most difficult spells he has ever developed, and it is also a culmination of his mastery of magical power.

The other end of the portal led to the Kagura family mansion. Li Wei had informed Chizuru and Manki beforehand that Weiss and Shermie possessed the power of Orochi.

When Li Wei was sealing the two women, he didn't choose to resolve the seal all at once. Instead, he used a gradual attrition method to seal them. Besides this method allowing them to gain more benefits, it also allowed people like the Kagura sisters, who were extremely sensitive to Orochi's power, to know that Shermie and Weiss were unawakened inheritors of the power of the Jaeger.

Kagura Manki looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared, including Li Wei, and said, "You brought two more people back from this trip to Europe. You really are... well, I don't know what to say. Anyway, you'll have to figure out what to do with Chizuru yourself."

Looking at Wan Gui's gloating expression, Li Wei remained calm. He had long known that Chizuru would be more difficult to deal with. After all, as the head of the Kagura family, Chizuru had too many concerns and couldn't follow her instincts like Wan Gui.

“I know. Anyway, the Kagura family’s fate will end in this generation, and Chizuru will have more options then,” Li Wei said.

In Li Wei's view, many of the things that Chizuru was worried about were actually nothing. Once the Kagura family's historical mission was completed, the Kagura family, having lost its goal, would inevitably make a new choice.

Manki has already made his choice, but it will take some time for Chizuru to make hers. Li Wei doesn't want to pressure Chizuru too much, so he'll give her enough time. Li Wei will gradually erode her influence.

Wan Gui laughed and said, "Goenitz is probably going to be furious this time."

Li Wei said, "Who knows about such things? But we have to try our best to win over every Jedi. What we can be sure of now is that, besides Goenitz, there is another Jedi that has already awakened and is active. In order not to push Goenitz to the brink, I did not kill that awakened Jedi."

Wan Gui said, "You have your own considerations, and I know you know what you're doing."

Wan Gui looked at Sharm and Weiss behind Li Wei and said, "I've prepared guest rooms for them. I'll take them there first. Do they understand Japanese?"

Wei Si smiled and said, "We understand."

Wan Gui was stunned for a moment upon hearing the other party's fluent Japanese. Wei Si and Shermie themselves did not know Japanese, but because of their shared training with Li Wei, they had also gained obvious benefits. For example, the new language of Japanese was taught to them by Li Wei through his enlightenment technique.

Chapter 4. The Curiosity of Ten Thousand Turtles

Wan Gui secretly observed Shermie and Wei Si, and couldn't help but admire Li Wei's good taste. Wei Si's dashing yet charming presence was enough to make even a woman like Wan Gui feel attracted. Shermie, on the other hand, was like a little rabbit. Although she had a mature figure, she gave off a feeling of needing protection, especially her eyes, which were covered by her bangs, which aroused Wan Gui's curiosity.

Mangui led the two to an empty guest room. She felt that the Kagura family's guest rooms were almost filled with Li Wei's women. Fortunately, the Kagura family mansion was relatively large in scale, and it could still accommodate guests of this size.

However, if Li Wei continues to bring women back from outside, then the mansion's guest rooms may not be enough.

Li Wei had already told her about Shermie and Wei Si. Wei Si was a relatively complicated person, but Shermie was a 100% good girl. Even though she knew that Li Wei had brought a new woman back, Wan Gui found that she couldn't get angry at all when facing Shermie.

In particular, after learning that the introverted Shermie had fought wits and courage against the local mafia organization to protect the orphanage, Wan Gui felt a pang of pity for her.

Looking at Shermie's thick bangs, Wan Gui asked curiously, "Won't such a thick head block your vision?"

Shermie was startled by Wan Gui's sudden question and whispered, "It would be troublesome if my eyes were exposed."

Sharmi was curiously observing her surroundings. The architectural style was completely different from that of Europe, and the elegant courtyard full of exotic charm made her feel extremely novel.

Wan Gui's sudden question left her somewhat bewildered.

"Troublesome? I heard from Li Weijun that you have very beautiful eyes. Can you satisfy my curiosity? Just for a moment." Wan Gui said expectantly, pointing with his fingers.

Wei Si smiled without saying a word. When she saw Sharmie's eyes earlier, she couldn't help but be captivated by them. Sharmie's eyes seemed to be imbued with a petrifying magic. Anyone who saw those eyes would be stunned by their beauty and unable to recover for a long time, just like being petrified.

Sharmi shyly lifted her bangs. The doctor said that her eyes were a kind of pathological condition. Although it did not affect her vision, the structure of her eyes was different from that of ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that her eyes, as Li Wei said, contained the entire starry sky.

Wan Gui stared at Shermie's large, colorful eyes, her breath slowing down. She could hardly believe that such a dazzling, starry sky-like sight could be seen through someone's eyes.

Sharmi said, "The doctor said that my eyes are a kind of individual mutation. My dynamic vision is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Sometimes my body can't keep up with the rhythm of my eyes. And these eyes can also focus automatically, like a telescope, and see very far distances. However, these eyes are afraid of the dark. In dim environments, my vision is weaker than that of ordinary people."

Wan Gui said, "It's a bit like the eye techniques of Japanese ninjas. Eye techniques require arduous training and have relatively simple functions, usually just seeing into the distance and seeing through illusions. This is the first time I've heard of one that can increase dynamic vision."

It's normal for Wan Gui to be surprised. This world isn't some "Legend of the Eyes" world. Ninjas' eye techniques all start from the level of ordinary people and are trained upwards. The limit is there. No matter how much they struggle, they can't break through the structure of the eye. Besides, there aren't that many ways to be inhuman in this world.

Sharmi let down her bangs and said, "Blocking your vision can effectively alleviate the side effects of too much dynamic vision. You don't have to worry about your body not being able to keep up with your eyes and thoughts."

Shermie's fighting style revolves around her formidable dynamic vision, primarily employing grappling techniques supplemented by striking techniques, aiming to seize every opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent.

Wan Gui led the two to their guest rooms, which were next to each other. This was a deliberate arrangement by her, as Sharm and Weiss were not yet familiar with the people here, especially Sharm, who was rather introverted and shy. Without familiar faces around, she might easily feel uncomfortable. That's why she arranged it this way.

Wan Gui said, "Since you all speak Japanese, it won't be so troublesome. You can just talk to the servants here if you need anything, and they will meet your needs."

Unlike Japan, where there are very few records of eunuchs being used in ancient times, the rulers' inner quarters were entirely managed by female officials. The Kagura family, as members of the aristocratic system, continued this tradition. Since the Kagura family consisted entirely of women, the activities of male servants were limited to the outer courtyard, while the inner courtyard was managed by female officials.

Of course, they are no longer called female officials, but female servants. Times are changing, and many things are changing along with them.

“We understand. We’ll have to bother you from now on,” Wei Si said with a smile.

After settling the two in, Wan Gui left. She had other things to do. Although the Kagura family had always been managed by Chizuru and she hardly ever did anything, with the Kagura family becoming the organizer of the King of Fighters tournament's Asian division, all sorts of messy matters came one after another. Chizuru was extremely busy, so she would help Chizuru with some of the affairs as much as she could.

Thanks to the telepathic connection between the twins, Chizuru would receive immediate feedback after she finished her business, and the two could cooperate perfectly.

During this period, with the construction of the King of Fighters tournament venue beginning, the Kagura family has been extremely busy.

The venue location has now been finalized, the land has been acquired, various raw materials are being transported to the construction site, and construction teams and heavy machinery have entered the site and begun preliminary preparations, such as laying the foundation.

As for the design drawings, Li Wei provided ready-made blueprints. As a spectacle enthusiast, his venue design was very futuristic, but he also made many compromises to reduce the difficulty of construction, ensuring that the construction could be completed within six months with the people and technology of this era.

Meanwhile, Li Wei continued to enjoy his leisurely time, waiting for the King of Fighters tournament to begin. At the same time, he planned to pull some new tricks to annoy Goenitz and Kensou. As for Andy, who was currently training in the deep mountains, he could only put that aside for the time being.

Chapter 1. Dance Practice

As time passed day by day, Li Wei's relationships with the girls around him steadily progressed.

Inside the agency's practice room, Athena Asamiya was already preparing for practice. She was wearing yoga-style training clothes, and her budding, youthful figure was beautifully displayed through her martial arts training.

The agency has two practice rooms. The larger one is for Mai Shiranui and others, as a small practice room wouldn't allow them to practice effectively as a team. Athena Asamiya, on the other hand, works solo, so her personal practice room is smaller.

Even so, the personal practice room she used was the size of a shared practice room for the whole team in other agencies. It just goes to show that for wealthy Li Wei, everything is done to the best of his ability.

For the multi-talented Li Wei, choreography was not a difficult task. He was someone who had returned to the present era from the information explosion era, and his understanding of popular dance was beyond that of people from this era. Therefore, the company did not hire a professional dance instructor, but Li Wei himself took on the role.

After all, in Li Wei's view, popular dance of this era is really just a matter of a few things. Traditional dances that have been passed down for hundreds of years, such as tango and samba, are already quite refined and extremely difficult to change. However, popular dance, which has only existed for a few decades, still has a lot of room for improvement. Other choreographers of this era are essentially feeling their way forward. It is precisely because of this that Li Wei, coming from the information explosion era, has an understanding of popular dance that is beyond the comprehension of people of this time.

"Let's practice the basics now, to warm up. Today we're going to practice a choreography segment, which is also the most complex part of your debut song's dance. It will require more time to practice than other parts," Li Wei said.

“I know, I will try my best,” Athena Asamiya said.

Athena Asamiya has an exceptional memory. She has memorized the entire dance sequence from her debut song. After all, she is a superhuman with innate intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary people, and her memory is far beyond what ordinary people can match.

But remembering is one thing; to perfectly showcase it still requires a lot of practice. Excellent talent only means she can practice in less time than others; it doesn't mean she doesn't need to practice.

Athena Asamiya said, "During this time, I've felt that monster still lingering around me, and I'm a little scared."

Li Wei said, "Don't worry, as long as you wear the bracelet properly, he can't get close to you. Although his ability is a bit strange, it has a flaw in its offensive capabilities. He can't break through the shield's defense."

Athena Asamiya nodded. She had thought that the nightmare would end once she arrived in Japan, but who knew that the monster would actually chase her all the way from Japan to China.

She could sense the monster lurking in the shadows, watching her with malevolent eyes, which gave her goosebumps. If she hadn't always been under Li Wei's protection, free from any safety concerns and experiencing only some mental stress, she would probably have collapsed by now.

However, considering that Li Wei could arrive at her side at any time, she didn't feel much fear. She just felt disgusted. After all, the move of the Fire Serpent Puppet exploding and scattering to escape was quite mentally disturbing.

Li Wei said, "Let's start practicing, beginning with backbends and splits."

Athena Asamiya nodded. Although she had the physical foundation to practice martial arts, her flexibility was still no match for Mai Shiranui and the others. After all, the fighting style of ninjas determined that the profession of ninja, whether male or female, would train in jujutsu from a young age to deal with various special situations.

While Athena Asamiya's physical flexibility is far superior to that of the average person, it still falls short of that of a professional dancer, let alone a ninja.
