Great, we're doomed now!

But how did they grow such a physique—curvy where it should be and slender where it should be—that exudes vitality?

"If I were to marry Chika, Mamoru probably wouldn't object, and our future life together would definitely be very happy, right?"

“Yes.” Liuli took a deep breath quietly and smiled in agreement, “I’m looking forward to it too.”

“A bright future is foreseeable, I have no doubt about that—if Xiao Shou is a very mediocre person.”

"Huh?" Liuli exclaimed in surprise.

"If Xiaoshou were an ordinary child, I wouldn't have to think so much. I could simply and decisively arrange his life, and I wouldn't have these worries now."

Attending a prestigious private school, studying abroad, a political marriage, gaining experience in a company, choosing to support a particular cousin, and then retiring as an influential uncle—if he were even slightly mediocre, this would be his future.

Kuze Kaede rested her chin on her hand, her voice tinged with sorrow: "But he was just too unexpected~"

I have imagined countless times how I would raise my children, regardless of gender or intelligence, and I am confident that I can provide them with a wonderful and fulfilling life.

But this child... is not normal!

She wasn't showing off; Liuli could tell she was genuinely troubled!

"As parents, we naturally hope that our children can surpass us, but early independence inevitably makes parents feel disappointed... Xiaoshou will have a 'rebellious' life trajectory, which is a consensus we have long reached, so some of the original common sense no longer applies."

Fujiwara Chika was an impeccable choice for a marriage alliance, but was she the same for Komori?

"I think the young master has also considered this, so the master and madam don't need to worry too much."

"Heh~"

The straw hat tilted slightly as Feng gazed at Liuli's fair and delicate face: "This is a bonus question—"

What kind of wife do you think Xiaoshou needs?

Without much thought, Liuli shook her head decisively: "I can't think of anything."

"Don't have any reservations, or rather, from your point of view, who do you think is the most suitable person for him?"

"Anyone who can stand next to Young Master Ye must be gentle, generous, and understanding—"

"Zero points."

Feng tapped the rim of the cup lightly with a spoon, his expression changed, and he said seriously, "A 'virtuous wife and loving mother' in the conventional sense won't do."

"Then... what should it be like?"

"It's against the rules to ask the proctor directly, Chun."

"Well……"

"But since you're on the reserve list, and I quite like you, it wouldn't hurt to give you a little pointers in advance."

Liuli: Men are creatures that are both strong and fragile. They can withstand unimaginable pressure, but they can also be unexpectedly defeated by some trivial matters.

Therefore, what they need is not just love and sexual partners, but also a 'mother' who can unconditionally accept them and always provide support from behind.

They would show their strength to their wives and lovers, but they would only reveal their weaknesses and shameful secrets to their 'mother'.

For them, entrusting the secret to their 'mother' was like Achilles covering his ankles—invincible on the battlefield.

"Mother……"

“Of course, I’m referring to the psychological aspect.” Feng said, whether in self-deprecation or complaint, “I’ve never received this kind of treatment.”

"So that's how it is... So the most perfect wife is actually a fusion of 'lover' and 'mother'?"

"If a man says, 'XX is the woman who can be my mother,' then whether it's a husband-wife relationship or a sibling relationship, that man will never be able to leave her for the rest of his life."

Feng said meaningfully, "Mother, life mentor, psychologist, sexual partner, owner, leader, best friend and worst enemy—historically, any woman who has achieved this can still control even an emperor as her partner."

"Lord Ye Shou is so perfect... I don't think he would need so much psychological support."

"You've practically deified him!"

Feng blinked, then looked away. Lucy's figure had already appeared at the street corner, so she ended the heart-to-heart talk with a single sentence.

"Men are not born strong, but are forced to be strong—a woman who cannot understand this cannot help her husband achieve great things."

-

I feel like I'm turning myself into a schizophrenic!

Ye Shou played chess all day. At first, the sound was faint, but later, every move he made could be seen with a translucent ripple. His progress was remarkable. However, because he was so engrossed in the game, his blood pressure rose higher and higher.

He simply couldn't understand how the "Ghost Brain" could conjure up an opponent who was "smarter than himself"!

Does that mean we've split the brain's computing power in two? That's completely illogical!

Unable to endure any longer, he resigned, only to be mocked by his "opponent" in a vivid and lively manner, which angered him so much that he almost picked up the chessboard to imitate Emperor Jing of Han.

[That's truly excellent; I can already clearly see your gameplay... But don't get arrogant. Never use it in battle until you've truly mastered it and can control it at will.]

“I understand, Master Jinglong.” Ye Shoucheng accepted the instruction wholeheartedly.

This "illusion technique" can not only make enemies see illusions, but also produce slight physical interference, which is supposed to be a very practical skill.

The problem is that the stronger the illusion, the more Ye Shou needs to concentrate, even to the point of entering a meditative state—which is suicidal in battle!

He must elevate his mental strength and spiritual cultivation to a higher level in order to apply them freely at crucial moments.

"Then I'll take my leave today and visit Master another day."

Go for it... Haha, I really look forward to your future.

-

It was already quite late when they returned. Ye Shou sat in the car with his eyes closed, trying to rest, but just like when he stayed up all night, he felt somewhat excited.

He opened his eyes and looked at his right hand. A "Persian scimitar" appeared out of thin air in his hand. He immediately felt a sense of familiarity with it, as if the scimitar was a part of his body, and he could make it dance like a ghost with just a thought.

Ye Shou had never used such a strange weapon before!

He could handle any weapon with ease, even without prior experience or familiarity, as if he had been using it for decades.

This is the Left Hand of God (Gundaruf)!

When using a Japanese sword, Jinglong's swordsmanship was so strong that it couldn't be shown, but when he switched to another weapon, Ye Shou immediately felt the difference.

Moreover, it's not limited to melee weapons; in fact, it can operate tanks and airplanes as well, making it a magical skill.

"Reality is definitely not a game... The skill synergy is so much stronger now." Ye Shou gripped the air scimitar, feeling the changes in his body, and couldn't help but marvel.

In the game, casting Water Ball before Frost Arrow won't enhance the control effect, but that won't happen in reality.

After Ye Shou selected the [Left Hand of God], in addition to the various abilities described, he actually found a wonderful use for it:

[God's Left Hand] actually provides a certain numerical bonus to the user upon contact with the weapon, enhancing their physical abilities and agility.

Ye Shou doesn't need to actually hold anything; he can simply grasp the imaginary weapon and still receive a bonus!

It's practically a permanent buff for him!

Without hesitation, I bought this!

P.S.: I misremembered the names of the three negative traits before, but they mean the same thing and don't affect the plot. I've corrected them now; just refresh the previous chapter.

Chapter 51 The Unapproachable Elementary School Grim Reaper

During dinner that evening, Lucy, as a guest, was seated next to Ye Shou. Perhaps out of consideration for her, and to avoid making the guest feel too uncomfortable, Ruri, who was also a girl, was seated at the table and placed on the other side of Ye Shou.

Sawai Soichiro returned home early today after finishing his business and had dinner with the Kuze family. It was the first time he had met Lucy, and he showed a bit of curiosity about the mixed-race girl.

Lucy's untamed spirit, reminiscent of the cyber age, was quite novel even to Sawai, who had seen countless people.

...The atmosphere at the dinner was somewhat subtle, and Ye Shou felt a long-lost sense of unease.

The girls on either side of her were both quiet and reserved. Even Lucy, who was usually outgoing, followed Ruri's example and ate her meal elegantly according to table manners.

The Kuze couple chatted and laughed, and occasionally asked Lucy in a kind manner whether she was comfortable staying there and whether she was having any trouble adjusting to life back home.

Ruri wasn't spared either. Junpei and Kaede acted like elders, showing concern for her studies and health, and scolding Ye Shou for leaving all the work to the maids. They said he should find more capable and energetic young professionals to train his team.

Ye Shou didn't take it to heart. There were too many things about his business that needed to be kept secret. It wasn't easy to find a subordinate who was absolutely loyal and had no curiosity. However, he couldn't directly refute him, so he just silently ate his meal and gave casual replies.

Ruri and Lucy couldn't escape it and were given a good "care" by the couple... It took them an hour to finish their dinner!

After it was over, Ye Shou and the other two quickly fled and went back to their rooms to rest.

Junpei and Kaede exchanged a glance, their smiles both somewhat amused, while Sawai, who had remained silently behind, smiled and said, "Your son seems to be troubled. Are you two going to let things take their course?"

"It's good for teenagers to have some troubles. If they are too unrestrained, they are prone to arrogance and complacency... Moreover, as parents, isn't it also a kind of fun to see how our children are troubled by problems and how they try to solve them?"

Junpei seemed to be in a good mood: "Do you know how many classes he's missed this semester? He didn't go to class today either. He's been too free."

"Oh?"

Sawai was surprised by these words: "In my opinion, your son already has enough knowledge, his speech and manners are impeccable, and his business achievements are outstanding. There is no need for him to receive a general education step by step, is there?"

Junpei and his wife exchanged a glance, then looked at their old classmate with a slightly more serious expression: "Different perspectives lead to different ideas."

In your eyes, Sawai, and others, our son, Ye Shou, has shown the makings of a child prodigy since childhood and is destined to walk an extraordinary path. But for my wife and me, that is precisely what worries us!

Sawai was also a wise man; after a moment's thought, he understood the concerns of the Kuse couple.

"The dilemma of genius? Sigh~"

The statement "Geniuses are often lonely" should be viewed from two perspectives.

First, people cannot understand the ideas of geniuses; second, geniuses are unwilling to understand others.

The "genius" here is not the kind that appears in the news every day, with a resume full of honors but little to show for their actual achievements.

A true "genius" is someone who is born different from ordinary people, possessing overwhelming talent and gift in a certain field, leaving an indelible mark on an era!

Such a person's achievements are undoubtedly dazzling, but whether he is personally happy is another matter entirely...

Ye Shou showed this trait from a young age, and he had very few friends, as if he didn't need friendship at all. For a child, he was so strong that it was worrying.

After all, Ye Shou didn't show any emotional fluctuations even when making money, giving people the feeling that he wasn't doing business, but rather completing a task or target.

Although he has many hobbies, he is too talented and finds all sports easy. Once he gets the hang of them, he loses interest.

If things continue like this, the Kuse couple are very worried that Ye Shou will become a monster dominated by his talent, unable to enjoy the emotional life and various pleasures that belong to normal people.

Therefore, they would look at Liuli differently—because it was the first time Ye Shou had taken the initiative to say "I want this person," and this enthusiasm lasted for so long. Apart from Liuli, no one else could be kept by his side.
