The girl ran over and, with some difficulty, took the volleyball off, saying, "We always accidentally hit the ball out of bounds when we play volleyball, I'm so sorry."

Li Wei sat up and laughed, "If it hadn't come from the direction it was facing, that would have been better."

Li Wei looked into the distance and saw Yue Hai blushing and turning her head away. This cat-like girl was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that there were so many girls around him, so she would often play little pranks, which Li Wei always managed to defuse.

The girl placed the volleyball on the sand, sat down on it, and used the volleyball as a chair, her posture quite unrestrained.

Uranium Girl said, "I heard from Song that Li Wei, you've picked up another girl?"

Li Wei guessed that the volleyball heading straight for his face was probably because Yue Hai knew about this, which led to this situation.

Li Wei said, "Song is such a blabbermouth, I bet everyone else already knows."

Uranium Girl nodded and said, "He's quite the celebrity, no. He's the original boss of the Punishment Squad, the elusive drunkard Fuuka."

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. It seemed that everyone else already knew about Feng Hua's characteristics. It was probably Matsu who told them. However, Feng Hua probably wouldn't mind such a thing. If it were someone else, Matsu would definitely get beaten up.

The uranium girl's fair toes clenched and dug into the sand. Sitting on the volleyball, she was restless, swaying her body and constantly moving from side to side.

Uranium Girl said, "To be honest, the sekirei characters that came up later all owe the older sisters a favor. Last time, when they beat up Mutsu and sent him back to MBI, we felt a little embarrassed."

Li Wei knew that Mutsu was also a member of the first generation of the Punishment Squad. No one else could have wiped out Mikogami Hayato's forces so easily. After all, Mutsu was the last man standing on the other side. Only someone like Mutsu, who was overpowered, could easily suppress him. In a normal battle, the other Ashimei forces would not be able to fight against Mikogami Hayato.

Li Wei said, "That's how the Sekirei game is. No matter how good your relationship is before, when it really comes down to it, you still have to fight. Anyway, once we beat the game, the Sekirei game will cease to exist, and then there won't be any more of these pointless battles."

Uranium Girl said, "Now, we don't have many advantages left. The eastern and southern forces have been defeated, leaving only us and the western forces. That person, I think his name is Sanada Nishi, is said to have a bad reputation and is a lolicon."

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly, but he couldn't say much about this bizarre situation. However, he understood Sanada Nishi from the West. Lolis were indeed cute, but those three with Sanada Nishi—were they lolis? Just little brats. No, one of them was a little loli, and she was carrying a gun.

Those little guys are like cats, always causing trouble. Li Wei can only say that like attracts like. Only someone with a personality like Sanada Nishi can tolerate a few loud, human alarm clocks messing around him.

Uranium Girl said, "We don't know when Sister Feng Hua will wake up, but we've already discussed it and are going to throw a barbecue party to welcome her back. Knowing that she likes to drink, we even found a menu for the food tablecloth and picked out some good wine for her."

Li Wei said, "Heh, this treatment is quite different for the older sister."

Chapter 4. Speculation

Li Wei said, "I always thought that someone with your lawless personality wouldn't have many respectable people. I didn't expect you guys would actually think of throwing a party for her. However, I don't know if she's awake yet. If she's not, your welcome banquet will have to be postponed."

Uranium Girl said, "So what if it's postponed? This kind of thing was originally prepared for Feng Hua."

Yuehai had somehow appeared behind Uranium Girl, grabbed the volleyball with both hands, and slammed it away, sending Uranium Girl landing squarely on the sand.

Yuehai said, "Uranium Girl, if you don't come soon, someone else will have to take your place. You're supposed to be a player in this game, how come you just ran away halfway through?"

Suddenly, Uranium Girl fell to the ground and sat down. Big Rabbit jumped up and down, and the white flashes made Li Wei a little dizzy. Don't be fooled by Uranium Girl's usual quirky personality; she is no stranger to feminine charm.

Li Wei's gaze shifted downwards, landing on those exquisite little feet, as white as jade. A surge of warmth welled up within him. Although he had mastered extraordinary power and become stronger, it had not caused him to lose his desires as a human being. On the contrary, his desires as a human being had been amplified.

Whether it's appetite, desire for enjoyment, emotional needs, or possessiveness, all are amplified, so once Li Wei obtains something, he craves more.

However, Li Wei wasn't driven by strong desires in every aspect. At least, he wasn't very interested in world domination. He might be motivated to manage a floating island kingdom of women, since it was his private domain, but if he were given a country, even a small kingdom with only tens of thousands of people, he wouldn't bother with it.

Because there wasn't enough motivation, Li Wei could try his best to meet the needs of the girls on the floating island, since the girls were all his partners, and they were all his flesh and blood. Once he started, all the girls had to receive the same benefits in order to maintain the most basic fairness.

Aside from the queen and queen, the rest of the kingdom had nothing to do with him. Why should he create better living conditions for these unrelated people?

Uranium Girl lay down naturally, sprawled out on the beach, not minding that her head would get sandy. However, the beach and ocean here were very clean, and it was a private space for their own enjoyment, with no outsiders at all. Therefore, there was no trash or impurities on the beach, and it was perfectly fine to lie on it and roll around.

Uranium Girl said, "We were talking about how to throw a party for Feng Hua. Li Weijun doesn't know about our plans yet, so I'm just mentioning it. By the way, have we decided on the drinks?"

Li Wei asked, "Does Feng Hua particularly enjoy drinking?"

With the volleyball tucked under her arm, Yuehai said, "She's quite famous, but what she's most famous for is her incredible drinking ability and terrible drinking manners. When she's drunk, she starts playing pranks on people. Anyway, during her trip to Europe, she made many friends, but also many enemies."

Feng Hua's personality is like a cat's—unpredictable and possessing a cat-like ability to play pranks. In other words, she's a source of amusement. However, this person is not only capable of making others laugh, but also doesn't mind becoming someone else's source of amusement and being laughed at. She's a person who can afford to lose, unlike some people who can only find amusement for others, and will immediately break down and cause trouble once they become the source of amusement themselves.

Li Wei's understanding of Feng Hua came from reading her deep memories. Thanks to his powerful multi-threaded thinking ability, Li Wei had already completed the memory reading while treating her. To be honest, aside from the secrets, he and Feng Hua got along quite well; after all, they were both fun-loving people.

However, Li Wei himself had far too many secrets. While confiding in others might alleviate his inner pressure, Li Wei's secrets were top secrets known only to him. It is said that emperors are lonely, hence the saying "a solitary ruler." Li Wei, who reigned above the emperor, had even more secrets to keep, which was simply unavoidable.

Li Wei said, "Feng Hua's experiences seem quite rich, but that's understandable. As long as you're traveling, you're bound to encounter many people and things. However, I've only ever heard of her by name and never met her. I never expected her to come all the way from Europe."

Uranium Girl said, "Speaking of which, wasn't she always wandering around outside? Why did she suddenly decide to go back to Japan?"

Li Wei said, "I can't give you an answer to this kind of thing; you'll have to ask her directly."

Uranium Girl said, "Now is not a good time to return to Japan. The Sekirei Game is in full swing. Originally, she went to Europe, where the central government was far away and MBI didn't have any significant influence. She was very free there. Now, if she returns to Japan, she will inevitably be drawn into the Sekirei Game. Once she's involved, some things will be out of her control."

Li Wei said, "...That's very strange. She should know about the Wagtail game, but if she knows it, why did she come back to cause trouble?"

Li Wei was feigning ignorance, knowing full well what was going on. He understood Aizen's twisted thinking; the feeling of everyone being kept in the dark and manipulated was addictive to him. Li Wei knew his thoughts were wicked, but such things were undeniably irresistible.

Why do so many ordinary people yearn for power? Isn't it because once they possess power, they can rise above others and manipulate their fates at will? To some extent, villains like Li Wei are very common in any world.

Like some domestically produced political dramas, the power struggles depicted are quite interesting to Li Wei. However, due to limitations in perspective and censorship, certain sensitive content cannot be broadcast. A few years ago, we could still find those kinds of political novels, but now we can't.

However, Li Wei no longer needs those kinds of novels to satisfy himself. He has started to take matters into his own hands and use his own methods to manipulate the fate of others. This kind of despicable thing is a rare form of relaxation and entertainment for him.

Uranium Girl said, "I can't really explain this kind of thing either, but there's an old saying that goes, 'When faced with two evils, choose the lesser.' This means there's danger in Europe too, and Feng Hua must have thought this through carefully before making this choice."

Chapter 4. Caught in the Trap

Yuehai looked curious, grabbed the volleyball and ran off, but then came back and sat down next to the two of them, looking like she was saying, "You two keep talking."

Li Wei inwardly wanted to complain. It seemed all girls were this gossipy. Not just Yuehai, but even the girls on the floating islands, despite their usual reserved demeanor, were surprisingly gossipy. Things concerning him were incredibly difficult to keep secret. Therefore, Li Wei dared not mention his core secrets to his partner, otherwise, the girls on the floating island would know within two days. Don't think this is an exaggeration; reality is often far more absurd than stories. Reality doesn't need logic; only novels do.

Li Wei said, "Perhaps it's related to the Snake Organization. I heard Song mention before that she conducted an investigation online and found some strange information on the European internet, which involves the Snake Organization. The Snake Organization has a huge influence in Europe and many powerful people cooperate with them. Maybe Feng Hua returned to Japan at this time because of the Snake Organization."

Uranium Girl said, "That does make sense. I looked through the information Senior Song gave me and found a common point: the Snake Organization is only interested in wagtails that have not yet molted. If a wagtail has already molted, they will give up on it even if it is a target they are currently hunting."

Yuehai looked surprised and said, "There's such a thing? They abandoned their target right away. They're too decisive."

Uranium Girl said, "The secrets here are known only to the Snake Organization. Generally speaking, the Snake Organization isn't interested in the Sekirei game, and they haven't interfered in the battles between the Reisha. However, they become active every time the MBI releases a new Sekirei, trying to capture it."

Yuehai's voice unconsciously rose as she said, "Wouldn't the wagtails that haven't yet molted be in danger?"

Uranium Girl said, "Don't worry, the MBI isn't to be trifled with either. The Punishment Team was used as babysitters by Mihiroto. Even the un-transformed Sekirei were accompanied by members of the Punishment Team. The ordinary cyborgs of the Snake Organization didn't have much of an advantage in strength compared to Sekirei, so not many Sekirei fell into their hands."

Yuehai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Uranium Girl said.

Uranium Girl said, "Senior Song has a complete set of materials. You can take a look when you have free time to understand the latest situation and avoid being completely in the dark."

Yuehai felt a little embarrassed. Previously, she had habitually focused on training her strength and hadn't paid much attention to intelligence gathering, and no one around her had noticed this problem, so no one had reminded her. Only now, after being told this by Uranium Girl, did Yuehai realize her mistake.

If things continue like this, and people around her suddenly ask for her opinion on important matters, and she seems clueless, that would be truly embarrassing.

------------

Inside Miya's room, Miya was flipping through a book when she heard a rustling sound coming from the direction of the bed. She looked up and saw Fuuka pulling her hands out from under the covers.

"It's good that you're awake, Fuuka. It's been a long time." Miya closed the book in her hand and smiled.

"Um... how long have I been asleep? My head feels a little throbbing." Feng Hua sat up, covering her forehead with one hand. She could feel that her body had been healed, but she still felt a little dizzy and nauseous.

"It's been almost an hour, and it's still late at night," Mei Zai said with a smile.

Feng Hua breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid she would sleep for days and nights, but she had only slept for a few hours, so the negative impact on her body was not significant.

"You look quite disheveled. With your strength, you shouldn't be afraid of those tin cans, so how did you get yourself into this state?" Miya stood up, poured a cup of hot water from the kettle, and placed it on the bedside table next to Fuka.

Feng Hua felt her throat burning, a warning from her body due to lack of energy. She quickly grabbed the cup and gulped it down in one breath, almost choking because she drank too fast.

"Phew... I'm alive again. If that's the case, those tin cans are no match for me at all, but there are just too many of them. A dozen of them swarmed me, and I couldn't possibly deal with so many enemies of that level at the same time." Feng Hua put down her cup, her expression somewhat bitter.

"Do you know who attacked you?" Miya pulled up a stool and sat down on the edge of the bed.

“I don’t know. Although Europe hides a lot of darkness, I’m confident I know a fair bit about that. But these guys are the first I’ve ever seen. I never thought that besides the wagtails, there were other beings who possessed this level of power, but their numbers don’t seem to be many,” Fuuka said.

As a well-traveled and knowledgeable person, Feng Hua has a broad understanding of various fields. She even possesses some knowledge of mechanics. Generally speaking, mechanical creations can be mass-produced to reduce costs, while tin cans seem unable to be mass-produced. Therefore, although the number of tin cans chasing him was considerable, it wasn't as overwhelming as in science fiction movies.

Feng Hua had seen the movie "I, Robot," where the male protagonist was chased by a large number of robots. That exaggerated number was what mechanical enemies should have. However, the number of Iron Cans chasing her was only slightly more than ten at most. Most of the time, they operated in small teams of two or three. She was confident that she could defeat such a team.

However, the opposing team was very fast and had an air advantage. Although she could defeat the Iron Can Squad head-on, she would be slowed down until reinforcements arrived, at which point she would be surrounded and attacked.

After learning her lesson, Feng Hua only dared to engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy; if she couldn't win, she would immediately retreat. Utilizing this flexible tactic, along with her powerful mobility gained from manipulating air currents, she was able to dodge and weave through the encirclement, remaining uncaptured despite being chased for so long.

Miya gently tucked the slightly slipped blanket back into Fuuka's clothes and said, "It's an organization called Snake. We've gathered some information about them. It's an organization that grew up during the war, and it's said to have connections to the collapsed Third Reich. They possess a lot of advanced technology and wield considerable influence among the elites in Europe. However, this organization has been very well hidden, only recently revealing its existence. Even I only learned about it recently."

Chapter 4. A Wonderful First Encounter

Although Miya has lived for a very long time, practically accompanying human history to the present day, she is not an omniscient and omnipotent true god, so there are many things she does not know.

She had never heard of the Snake Organization, a behemoth that had only recently surfaced. She had no interest in anything outside of her own life. For her, the most important thing was to cherish the small happiness in the present moment. What could a mysterious organization in Europe have to do with her? At least until the news of the attack on the Wagtail broke, she had no interest in this organization whatsoever.

Feng Hua rubbed the back of her head and said, "I hate trouble the most, but it seems that this kind of trouble is unavoidable."

"Don't worry, as long as you stay here obediently and don't wander off, they won't dare to bother you. Besides, they're only interested in un-molted wagtails. Once you've molted, you can wander around in front of them without any problem, as long as you don't make a move, they won't bother you," Miya said.

"There's such a thing?" Feng Hua looked surprised, because just thinking about it was bizarre.

“That’s right. Although I was surprised when I came up with this information, it’s the truth. The Snake Organization has deployed a considerable number of combat forces in the Eastern Capital, but they never actively intervene in the Sekirei Game, and they have no interest in the battles of Ashina, even if it’s a good opportunity to capture Sekirei. They just watch from afar,” Miya said.

Feng Hua frowned slightly; this was a bit troublesome. She couldn't just find anyone to be her "Wei Ya" for her own safety. After all, "Wei Ya" was essentially a romantic relationship, and establishing such a relationship required utmost care. If she entrusted herself to the wrong person, she would be the one to suffer.

Miya looked at Fuuka and knew her concerns. Although Fuuka usually gave people the feeling of an unconventional older sister, Miya knew that Fuuka had a serious lack of security. However, the men who could make her feel secure were very rare. In addition, the other party had to have the genetic factors of Reisha in order for the two parties to form an ascension contract. Therefore, it was difficult for her to find a suitable Reisha.

Meizai stood up and said, "Although your wounds have been healed, the energy you lost has not been replenished. You need to rest well for the next period of time and you can't fight with anyone anymore."

It's wonderful to let Fuuka be alone, because there are some things that are impossible to think about calmly when other people are around.

Meizai secretly intended to recommend Li Wei to Fenghua. After all, Li Wei was a man who could perfectly meet all of Fenghua's requirements. Fenghua's lack of security was not due to a lack of money or status, but rather a problem with safety.

As a member of the original Punishment Squad, Fuuka experienced countless battles and witnessed all sorts of darkness, so her inner fears ran very deep. Fuuka's fear was very simple: death. Because she had witnessed so much death, her fear of it was ingrained in her very bones.

As No., Miya knows her juniors very well. Fuka hides her inner fears under her absurd and reckless exterior. The reason why Fuka suddenly left the Punishment Team more than ten years ago and almost ran away to Europe was to avoid the dark side of MBI and to avoid the Sekirei Games.

Having been chased from Europe to Japan by the Snake Organization, Fuuka was essentially escaping one danger only to fall into another, which intensified her fear. As her older sister, Miya naturally wanted to find a way to address the problem at its root. In her view, if Fuuka could find a suitable sapling, all the problems would be easily solved.
