Chapter 98 Live-in Son-in-Law
The SkyScanner, a space-based kinetic weapon in near-Earth orbit, orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. Now it has been launched in full force, and six parallel fireballs streaked across the sky.
The Red Well, the place where the White King was resurrected and buried, was completely buried by the six swords of Damocles.
Huo Yuhao hovered above Tokyo Bay, silently watching the thick smoke and flames that once again billowed out from the direction of Mount Fuji in the distance.
"Don't you think you've killed more people than you have in a single strike?" The little devil asked with a grin, perched on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
Looking at the billowing black smoke in the distance, Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you couldn't see my memories?"
"I can't see them," the little devil said casually, turning his head to see a group of people on the artificial island of fireflies not far away, "but your expression is still quite easy to understand."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not respond, but simply lowered his eyes slightly.
At this moment, the scales on his body gradually faded away, and his bone wings gradually disappeared, but his hair, which had grown long, did not shrink back and remained hanging down his back.
He condensed water mist into an ice mirror, looking at the face that was extremely similar to Lu Mingfei's, yet also seemed somewhat different.
He watched quietly for a few seconds, and the ice mirror shattered silently, turning into fine crystal powder that was scattered by the sea breeze.
"Is there any way to restore Lu Mingfei's spiritual sea?" Huo Yuhao asked.
He was unaware of the details of "Zero" and "Black Swan Harbor," but it was clear that these were also Lu Mingfei's past experiences.
The little devil fell downwards along with Huo Yuhao, but he remained calm: "There should be, right? You're so smart, you'll figure something out, won't you?"
Before his last bit of strength disappeared, Huo Yuhao used the Word of Power: Eye of the Wind King to land safely on the artificial island of Sea Firefly.
Erii was the first to notice Huo Yuhao's presence. She ran over quickly, but stopped just before she was about to throw herself into his arms.
"Good afternoon, Erii." Huo Yuhao smiled gently.
Erii smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Sakura."

Today is the day the executives of Kassel College return to the school. All the top executives of the Sheqi Eight Families are present and stand solemnly at the airport to see them off.
Huo Yuhao boarded the plane early and waved goodbye to the underworld princess in her Lolita dress through the window.
"Are you really not considering staying here as a horse rider?" Caesar nudged Huo Yuhao beside him with his elbow.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair: "She's a good girl, but I only exist for my mission."
-
A girl like Erii, who is pure and wholeheartedly dependent on you, is certainly wonderful.
She's well-behaved and sensible, comes from a wealthy family, and is very capable. If she likes you, she'd want to share the whole world with you.
She is indeed a very suitable girl for Lu Mingfei. She will play games with Lu Mingfei and can also be a substitute for Lu Mingfei's beloved senior sister. Lu Mingfei is a shut-in and doesn't know how to pursue people, but she will take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
But that's the kind of girl who's suitable for Lu Mingfei.
This is also Lu Mingfei's life.
Caesar shifted his gaze from Huo Yuhao's closed-eye face to his waist-length hair, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
In the back seat of Huo Yuhao's car, Finger wore his usual carefree grin as he scrolled through his phone. However, there was no smile in his eyes, and his brows were furrowed almost imperceptibly at an angle unseen by anyone.
This trip to Japan was truly full of twists and turns.
On the other side of the corridor, Ling, who was sitting alone, would occasionally glance at Huo Yuhao's face.
The princess's eyes and expression were indifferent to the point of being cold, but her hands, resting on her knees, were clenched tightly.
[Will they leave once their mission is complete? Can the original person ever return?]
Lu Mingze comforted her, but she was still uneasy.
To what extent must one go to be considered to have fulfilled their "mission"?
Chu Zihang was sitting in front of Huo Yuhao and also heard what Huo Yuhao said.
He, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei had been in Japan for so long that they had basically been together, so they were the first to notice Lu Mingfei's abnormality.
Lu Mingfei had already hinted that he was now a different person, not the Lu Mingfei they knew.
But no matter what Lu Mingfei is like, he is still the same person, and he will not distance himself from Lu Mingfei just because Lu Mingfei suddenly becomes a stranger.
But the task that "Lu Mingfei" mentioned—I need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him; perhaps he can be of help.
Inside the cabin, the roar of the engines gradually intensified, and the plane pitched up, plunging into the clouds. The outline of Tokyo Bay grew smaller and smaller outside the window, eventually being completely swallowed by the sea of clouds.
The moment the plane lifted off the ground, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.
He turned his head, his gaze piercing through the glass, and met Erii's eyes on the ground. He slowly revealed a faint smile.
On the ground, Genjiro draped a trench coat over his younger sister.
He looked at Erii's profile, still gazing at the sky, and after a moment of silence, whispered in her ear, "Eri, do you want to go to school?"

Erii's eyes lit up, and she was about to turn to say something to her brother when her lips parted slightly, but then she suddenly closed them again. Her long eyelashes trembled, and she turned her gaze back to the now empty horizon.
Actually, she could sense it.
Huo Yuhao's feelings for her are not like the kind of feelings a man has for a woman that his brother has for Ying.
It's like a brother's affection for her.
Huo Yuhao once said that he would one day become the way he was when they first met.
But Erii didn't really understand what Lu Mingfei looked like when they first met.
It was just a hug.
So that Erii can remember the first person who took the initiative to hug her and didn't treat her like a monster.
But apart from Lu Mingfei's face, she knew nothing about him.
Even though she knew the other person's name was "Lu Mingfei", the name she heard was "Sakura", so she kept calling him that.
Do you like it?
Erii wasn't quite sure; she just felt safe following behind Huo Yuhao.
She enjoys spending time with Huo Yuhao.
But—it seems like something's missing.
"Eri, if you like that boy, after he graduates, Dad will talk to Angers about sending him to work in Japan." Uesugi looked at his bewildered little daughter with affection, his tone gentle yet domineering. "Once he comes, we have plenty of ways to keep him here as a son-in-law!"
Erii blinked: "What's a live-in son-in-law?"
Uesugi Koshi was defeated by his daughter's innocent gaze.
"Don't listen to the old man's nonsense!" Genji didn't have a good look on his biological father. Although he had once been jealous of Erii for being taken care of by her brother, after learning the truth, he only felt pity for Erii.
To be honest, Genjiro never really took good care of Erii.
Spending time with them for a while when there's nothing else to do doesn't really count as taking care of them.
However, Genjiro wouldn't go so far as to dispel the enchantment from her brother because of this; one could only say that she's become more rational.
"Once Erii learns common sense and understands what it means to like something, whatever you want to do, your second brother will support you."
