Toyokawa Shoko responded to the woman, but did not move forward. Instead, she took a step back, highlighting Li Xiao and indicating that he was the main person.

The man next to him, who should be Toyokawa Shoko's uncle, also frowned and looked at Li Xiao.

"Why didn't I receive any news about your return? Also, who is this man next to you? Who allowed you to bring people into the Toyokawa family?"

In response to his question, Li Xiao didn't say much, but directly released his pressure, causing him to fall to the ground.

"From now on, the Toyokawa family will listen to Xiangzi. Do you understand?"

Toyokawa Shoko's mother looked at her brother who suddenly fell to the ground with a confused look on her face, unable to react to what had happened.

"I see."

Although he didn't know how Li Xiao did it, the situation was stronger than the man, so the man still agreed verbally.

There is no feeling of submission at all. Is this a trick?

[He is now thinking about finding someone to avenge you after you leave, and then selling Toyokawa Shoko to other powerful people for marriage.]

"You can tell this kind of thing at a glance, right? But Xiangzi is mine, and I'm a little angry when he wants to do this."

So Li Xiao turned around and spoke to Toyokawa Shoko,

"Xiangzi, turn around."

"I see."

In this situation, Xiangzi could only listen to him.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko do as he was told, Li Xiao directly used the wind to cut off one of the man's fingers.

"Ah! Why...why?"

After the man screamed, he uttered a question filled with fear.

"You were just thinking about how to take revenge on me and Xiangzi, right?"

He can actually read minds!

The man widened his eyes in horror and looked at Li Xiao with a bit of disbelief.

PS: Because the specific situation of Xiangzi's family was not mentioned in the original story, I slightly adapted it based on the later plot.

Text: Chapter 35: Xiangzi is in hand!

When the man discovered that Li Xiao could read minds, he truly felt a sense of submission.

Li Xiao didn't care about his endurance and pushed it to the maximum.

The man's eyes instantly changed from fear to fanaticism.

"I'll say it again. From now on, you must listen to Xiangzi. Do you understand?"

"Okay! My lord!"

Li Xiao felt a little sick being looked at by a man with such fanatical eyes and flattering expression.

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who was still facing away, he spoke directly:

"Xiangzi, you can turn around now."

Toyokawa Shoko turned around. Although she had expected it when she heard the voice, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her uncle's bleeding hands and the strange expression on his face.

"I'll leave this to you later, okay?"

"...If mom is willing to help me, I should be fine."

Li Xiao looked at the woman who was standing aside and looked a little confused from beginning to end.

But when Li Xiao looked over, she reacted quickly.

"I understand, sir. I will help Xiangzi control the Toyokawa family and serve you."

Faced with this somewhat extraordinary thing, she did not intend to object in her heart. After all, no matter what, Xiangzi was her daughter, and it was okay for her to control the Toyokawa family.

What's more, the ability of this strange man in front of her made her unable to raise the heart to resist.

"I don't need your service. I'm here just for Xiangzi."

The woman felt that she had made a mistake in her judgment. She had originally thought that this gentleman was just interested in the Toyokawa family, but it turned out that he was just after Shoko?

Looking at her daughter's beautiful face beside her, she began to think about it.

"Please rest assured that I will announce that Shoko has returned to the Toyokawa family later. However, the situation of the Toyokawa family is complicated. Even for my brother and I, it will take a lot of time to transfer power. Please forgive me for this."

"Xiangzi, what do you think?"

Li Xiao turned around and asked Toyokawa Shoko.

"Okay, that's better, but I'm just a high school student now, and I don't have the ability to control the Toyokawa family."

Since things have come to this, she can continue her musical dream by returning to the Toyokawa family without being bound by any constraints. Why not do it?

"I'll help you."

Her mother also spoke up.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. She still believed in her mother.

"Then we will go and make arrangements. Xiangzi, you should entertain the master well."

After saying that, she took her brother and rushed to the hospital to treat his hand first.

Before leaving, he signaled to Toyokawa Shoko with his eyes.

After watching the two of them leave, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Li Xiao, who had sat down on the sofa at some point.

"Anyway, thank you."

"No, I also received benefits from others."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Can I ask who invited you here? And what did she pay for it?"

"I can't say who it was, I can only say that she paid the price of her life."

Permanently opening the passageway would cost a lifetime, wouldn't it? He slightly changed the concept.

"lifetime……"

She really couldn't imagine who would pay such a high price to do such a thing for her.

She was a little uneasy. Could she take responsibility for someone else's life now?

Finally, she made up her mind.

"Please let me take her place. After all, this is my own business."

"Oh? This is a lifetime thing, are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"So what do you think if I say she's already paid and you can't replace her?"

Already paid, irreplaceable. These two words made Toyokawa Shoko think a lot.

Is it because you've already done that with him? And he doesn't want to let go?

What a greedy man.

But perhaps this kind of personality is better, as he won't abandon others easily.

What's more, after seeing Li Xiao's strength, she had a vague feeling that she might not be able to escape.

"If I can't replace her, then I will share the responsibility with her. Whether it's being your lover or being the so-called priestess serving the gods."

"You actually guessed it?"

"You should pay more attention to your eyes, right? I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your eyes."

"So you have no intention of resisting?"

"Does it make sense? Besides, I don't have the capital or position to resist you.

I am nominally the boss of the Toyokawa household now, but if you give the order, I’m afraid my uncle and mother would be happy to have me appear in your bed tonight.

Or would you feel better if I resisted?"

Li Xiao was a little emotional: "It seems that the time you have been away from the Toyokawa family has changed you a lot. As a young lady, you would not have said such a thing before, right?"

"The me before and the me now are both me. I don't think there is any difference. If I have to say, I was probably weaker before."

"I really want you, but I want you to be willing."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed silently in her heart.

Oh! What a troublesome man.

"How do you determine that I am not willing?"

Li Xiao pointed to his eyes.

"I can see your emotions, but there is no love in them."

"Love? How long do you think we've only known each other? Or do you think I'm the kind of woman who would easily fall in love with someone else?"

“I made this decision simply because it was the best option for me at the moment.

You also said that you are a god, so what’s wrong with me relying on God?

As for feelings, can't we just cultivate that kind of thing slowly?

At least you are more attractive to me than anyone else I have ever met, and I am confident that I will fall in love with you."

"Okay, you convinced me."

Toyokawa Shoko took the initiative to go forward and hug him.

"From now on, I am yours, so please treat me well."

Li Xiao also hugged her back.

"Of course."

Feeling the warmth and strong sense of security conveyed by the man, Toyokawa Shoko thought that perhaps it would not be bad to live like this for the rest of her life.

Although he doesn't seem like a good person, the sense of security he gives people is unmatched by anyone else.

Feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms, Li Xiao felt a little happy.

Now that I have Toyokawa Shoko, can the world of Sushi be far behind?

"Oh right." Li Xiao suddenly remembered something, "What are you going to do about your father?"

"him?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked thoughtful in his arms.

"Let him work as a clerk in the company under the name of the Toyokawa family."

"Huh? Why?"

"After all, he did cause great losses to the Toyokawa family. If he is not punished, the people will not be convinced."

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, right? If anyone disagrees, just tell me."

"Violence alone cannot solve all problems, and I don't want you to solve every problem."

"Okay." Seeing her say that, Li Xiao changed the subject.
