She Smiled

Kitsune Saiguu walked quickly with small steps, leaving the room as if she were moving horizontally.

"...It doesn't seem like a joke." Raiden Makoto stared blankly as he saw Kitsune Saiguu leave.

The sudden problem at Kitsune Saiguu left Raiden Makoto still somewhat stunned.

What does it mean to make Liu Bai a general?

Is there anything I did wrong?

No, that's not the point. In terms of political ideals, she and Kitsune Saiguu are like-minded companions, and their abilities complement each other.

Because you're worried about your health?

Hmm... if we look at it from this perspective, if something were to happen to me... Liu Bai would indeed be a more suitable candidate than Ying.

Although she had never thought about this question before, after Kitsune Saiguu brought it up, she really imagined it and immediately felt that it was perfect. If Liu Bai was willing to become a general, she could die without regrets.

However, the problem is that Liu Bai is not one of our own, and Liu Bai has no clear legal basis.

I really don't want to morally blackmail Liu Bai about the former.

The latter is even more fatal. Liu Bai, as the attending physician, succeeded her as general after her failed rescue attempt... Even if there was a "last will and testament" and the upper echelons all agreed, it couldn't stop those with ulterior motives from stirring up trouble at the lower levels.

Kitsune Saiguu's wisdom is no less than mine, how could he not have thought of these two questions?

So... does this mean that Kitsune Saiguu has another way to bypass moral coercion and Liu Bai to bypass legal issues?

"..."

Needless to say, Zhen already understood what this method was.

Arranged marriage.

In addition to Kitsune Saiguu's previous performance...

Is the Kitsune Saiguu going to arrange a marriage?

Wait, wait, wait, this is too ridiculous!

Moreover, even if the Kitsune Saiguu were to arrange a marriage, it wouldn't make much difference.

Although the Kitsune Saiguu has a reputation, there is no legal basis for its succession...

Hmm, wait a minute, if Liu Bai could serve as "regent minister"...

No, no, no, the real problem after Ying becomes a general is that there may not be anyone who can keep her in check.

We still need to make Ying rely on Liu Bai...

Then... why don't I try to matchmake Liu Bai with my sister?

If she doesn't make it through, keep her death a secret, and announce to the outside world that the general has found an excellent husband. Then, as the "shadow warrior" standing in the open, Liu Bai will actually control the whole situation behind the scenes.

It's a male version of "ruling from behind the curtain," and he probably has his sister's complete approval, so it won't have much impact on the outside world.

Even if it gets exposed, it's the husband giving advice to his wife, so who's the problem?

This method is clearly more efficient than marrying out of the Kitsune Saiguu.

But... isn't this a bit like stealing someone else's love?

Is the happiness of Kitsune Saiguu being sacrificed to pave the way for Shadow...?

No, no, no! What are you thinking, Zhen?

I really slapped myself in the face.

But... um...

On one side is her younger sister, and on the other is her like-minded best friend...

What a difficult choice.

No, Liu Bai is not a prop either, and his opinion must also be taken seriously.

But what if... Liu Bai doesn't mean it that way at all?

Can the charm of Kitsune Saiguu win over Liu Bai?

... Raiden Makoto, he can't sleep at all now.

After finishing his treatment, Mobius did not leave immediately, but instead took a walk around the island with Liu Bai.

"If that happens, I will prescribe some suppressive medications to try to reduce the possibility of it worsening."

Mobius was very responsible towards his patients. It was precisely because he had witnessed so many tragedies that Mobius had such a grand ambition as to help humanity evolve.

"Then I thank you on behalf of the general."

Although he could call him by his real name, Liu Bai still chose to back down in front of Mobius —there was no one he could use as a shield now.

"It's just my duty as a doctor." Mobius's lips curled slightly. "Speaking of which, how did you know I had more to say after I mentioned euthanasia, you little lab rat?"

"I don't think you, the Doctor, are the kind of person who would give in to illness."

[Mobius's favorability rating: 5260]

[World Serpent Affection Level: 5260]

"Don't use that elder's tone that sounds like you know me so well, it'll make me want to fill you with cement and sink you into the sea."

Mobius crossed his arms and said some rather frightening things, but the slight upturn of his lips clearly showed how good Mobius mood was.

"These mere lab rats... they really don't deserve any research."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Your tone is making things even more unpleasant."

Mobius glanced at Liu Bai, then handed his notebook to Liu Bai.

"Take this. If anything happens to that general, just look through this notebook."

[Mobius's Medical Records: The Honkai Disease (Book)]

[After complete study, if your medical skill is below 5, it will be raised to 5, and you will also gain a permanent buff: the healing effect of any type of Honkai disease you apply is increased by 60%]

[After successfully treating a disease, the remaining pages can be filled. Once fully filled, any type of Honkai -related disease treatment you applied will have an additional 40% (0/10) effect.]

Holy crap... This is amazing.

Once a book is fully healed, the healing effect on Raiden Makoto is instantly doubled...

Liu Bai flipped through the medical record book in front of Mobius.

Seeing this, Mobius didn't mind at all; in fact, his smile widened slightly.

When Liu Bai opened the book, he found that although it wasn't very thick, Mobius's handwriting was rather small—thankfully, it wasn't the kind of "doctor's handwriting."

On the contrary, it's written very neatly, but the characters are too delicate and too small.

"... Is this your only medical record book?"

Liu Bai was very greedy—the scope of application for Honkai Disease was still too small; it would be even better if there were medical records for external injuries and internal injuries.

"How could that be—I've seen more illnesses than you've caused trouble." Mobius's smile vanished as soon as Liu Bai's gaze turned to him. "If you're interested, you can cure that Raiden Shogun first... Of course, don't get involved with them in any way other than a doctor-patient relationship, otherwise..."

Everyone wants to snatch their own guinea pig.

But Mobius just didn't want to give it up.

Chapter 114 He laughed

"Xiao~gui~zi~"

"Miss Liu Firefly?" Guinaifen, who was about to do "something," was startled by Firefly's sudden appearance behind her. "W-what are you doing, cosplaying as a ghost?"

"Um... I'd like to talk to you, is that alright, Miss Gui?"

"Um... yes, that's possible." Guinaifen's tone carried a hint of guilt.

After all, this person had just enjoyed a sweet time with Liu Bai, and now Firefly had come knocking on his door.

Furthermore, the way Firefly sometimes calls her Little Gui and sometimes Miss Gui gives the impression of being somewhat unpredictable.

(I don't think the Boss Liu is such a blabbermouth, right?)

"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm."

Firefly clearly sensed the guilt in Guinaifen's tone—but she also misunderstood the source of that guilt.

Then, without saying a word, Firefly grabbed Guinaifen's hand and pulled her into the house.

Who would believe you meant no harm?!

Guinaifen suppressed her urge to escape and was led to Firefly's room with twitching lips.

Next...

Firefly sat on the bed, while Guinaifen sat in the chair in front of the desk.

Guinaifen adjusted her position slightly.

If Firefly is talking about something related to dating, she'll run away as fast as she can!

Firefly took a deep breath and asked in a slightly faster voice, "Little Gui, don't you think Liu Bai has been surrounded by more and more girls lately?"

"Ah, oh, that's true."

The unexpected topic relieved Guinaifen, but it also made her mind go blank.

"So?"

"It's not all the problems! Someone even managed to sneak into Liu Bai's room today!"

He actually stripped naked in Liu Bai's room... That's too much...

That's incredibly efficient.

... Well, from an efficiency standpoint, Firefly is a bit tempted.

But that won't work. Everyone knows that if you have enough strength, the most efficient way to take action is to be strong.

She wanted more than just Liu Bai's body!

The soul! The soul is very important too!

"Ah... I think Miss Ying probably didn't mean it that way."

Although things got a bit heated this morning, Ying's attitude made everyone realize that she had no intention of getting involved in anything shady.

"But others might not be without them, right?"

"Hmm... So? Miss Firefly, what do you want to do?"

Don't tell me you're planning to resort to force.

Well, as long as the topic of sheep doesn't veer into your neighbor and Liu Bai's mountain date, then all the problems are not problems.

There's an old saying in Xianzhou: "Those who know how to adapt to the times..." Pshaw!

There's an old saying in Xianzhou: "Make a fortune quietly!"

It's none of Firefly's business what she does; anyway, Firefly can't go out now, so outdoor time is mostly hers and Liu Bai's.

... Little Gui, are you being a little scheming?

Guinaifen silently reflected on herself.

"That's why we need to implement a protection plan for Liu Bai!"

"..."

Shouldn't we throw you out first?

I think the biggest threat to the Boss Liu right now is you.

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Although she didn't know what Firefly was thinking, Guinaifen didn't think Firefly could control Liu Bai at all.

"So what exactly are we going to do?"

"Hmm... how about we start by keeping watch over Liu Bai?"
