Chapter 1797 - 1798: Here to Cause Trouble
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Of course, let's proceed as we discussed before."
The Third Elder said, "It's best to make some arrangements just in case there are changes tomorrow."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Today, Watanabe Goryu and Watanabe Kazushi caused trouble, but it actually simplified the problem. Tomorrow, Watanabe Goryu will surely be the first to step up and challenge me—he is my opponent."
The Third Elder said, "But our plan is for you to step onto the stage first, to better choose your opponent afterward."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Hmm, yes indeed. As for this matter, I've already made my arrangements, so there's no need to worry."
The Third Elder said, "Since you said that, we're reassured. We'll see who the Watanabe Family sends next."
If Watanabe Kazushi comes, then Hoshino Kuri will go up. If it's someone else, Master of the Hoshino Family will personally step up, ensuring that we maintain the advantage.
Ling Zhenfei said, "To prevent any tricks from them, I think we should have a few of our people inspect the Ichinin Arena in advance and make sure the Watanabe Family doesn't pull any stunts."
Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away."
The main food at the banquet was sashimi, with some other items as side dishes.
Knowing that Ling Zhenfei is not very accustomed to it, Hoshino Junka stayed by Ling Zhenfei's side to introduce him.
"This plate is Bluefin Tuna, and it's the best cut—the flesh from the two gills of the tuna."
Ling Zhenfei picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in seasoning, and took a bite. He couldn't deny that the taste was really very good.
But Ling Zhenfei also knew that the price was naturally very high.
The Bluefin Tuna, the best of all tunas, is reportedly near extinction due to Japanese consumption, with just a bite costing over a thousand RMB—it's quite precious.
Though Ling Zhenfei is also a chef, he has to admit his respect for Island Nation's chefs' meticulousness with ingredients. They don't waste a single bit, which is truly astonishing.
"This is deep-sea octopus, said to be a special variety. Try and see how it tastes,"
Ling Zhenfei took a bite; it was also very tasty. Since it's eaten raw, it carries a hint of the ocean—extremely fresh. Eating occasionally is quite nice.
But if eating frequently, Ling Zhenfei felt he might go crazy—no one can eat raw meat every day.
Eating sashimi and octopus raw, before, Ling Zhenfei would have probably dared not try.
But the life of the wealthy is like this—eating what others cannot eat.
After eating a little, Hoshino Junka left; as a newcomer, she couldn't appear for too long.
Ling Zhenfei needed to stay and eat more with them, talk, mainly to discuss precautions for tomorrow.
After the banquet dispersed, there were designated people to escort Ling Zhenfei to Hoshino Junka's room.
By this time, Hoshino Junka's small two-story building was indeed cleaned up nicely, with some festive decorations compared to before.
Ling Zhenfei was already quite familiar with this place and walked alone into the second-floor room.
The second floor's decoration was even more beautiful, and this new room was naturally very cozy.
At this moment, Hoshino Junka was already sitting on the bed, waiting for Ling Zhenfei.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei coming up, Hoshino Mio immediately walked over to help Ling Zhenfei undress.
"Dear, you're back. Did you drink too much?"
At this moment, Hoshino Junka no longer resembled the little witch from before but rather a gentle, homely new bride.
Ling Zhenfei said, "This amount of alcohol is not a problem for me."
Ling Zhenfei curiously asked, "Junka, is it true that Island Nation girls become very virtuous after marriage?"
Hoshino Junka said, "Even unmarried, they are already very virtuous, just lacking the opportunity to showcase."
Ling Zhenfei chuckled gently, with Hoshino Junka now seeming to revert to her witch-like demeanor.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You married me so young; do you have any regrets?"
Hoshino Junka said, "No, I have no regrets."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You actually know that our rushed marriage this time is greatly related to the Ichinin Arena duel. Tomorrow, I'll go to help the Hoshino Family fight in the arena."
Hoshino Junka said, "Of course I know, you're a hero who can help others—that's the man in my heart."
Ling Zhenfei hugged Hoshino Junka tightly and said, "Well, now this hero is a bit tired. What should be done?"
Hoshino Junka murmured, "Then I'll let my brother relax properly."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Soon, I might have to go to Foreign Land Space, so I can't take you with me. You'll stay with Bin Qi Wu, and we'll discuss after I return."
Hoshino Junka said worriedly, "It's too dangerous there; can't you avoid going?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "Going there, I'm forced with no other solution, but don't worry, my trip to Foreign Land Space is merely to fulfill a promise."
"Even if I venture there, I'll prioritize staying alive—not risking my life for anything it holds. However, this time the Foreign Land Space seems somewhat different; I'm not sure when I'd come out."
Hoshino Junka said, "No matter when you come out, I'll always be waiting for you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "What if I don't return for several years?"
Hoshino Junka sincerely said, "Then I'll wait for you my whole life."
The next morning, the sound of birds woke the newlyweds.
In fact, Hoshino Junka was very young, only eighteen this year, yet Island Nation's law states girls can marry at sixteen.
By calculation, Hoshino Junka was one of the youngest by Ling Zhenfei's side, even younger than Guoguo.
Putting on clothes and walking out of the room, the daylight was bright, and the Hoshino Family plunged into the new day's bustle.
A family this large, daily busyness is imaginable.
Especially today, the Hoshino Family seemed extraordinarily busy, almost having the tension of pre-battle carnage.
Though it's merely a three-person arena battle, it concerns the family's rise and fall.
Over the years, the Ichinin Arena has witnessed so many ups and downs of grand families.
Some say things like the Ichinin Arena shouldn't exist—how can the fortunes of a family be decided by a three-person battle?
Yet others say the existence of the Ichinin Arena has saved countless lives.
Indeed, without the Ichinin Arena, the Hoshino and Watanabe Families would endlessly fight, and naturally, war leads to casualties.
But the appearance of the Ichinin Arena remarkably solved this issue, using three people to decide if the battle should continue.
Early in the morning, a very sumptuous breakfast was prepared.
Before heading to the battlefield, it's always crucial to have a hearty meal.
During the meal, Hoshino Yuji spoke a few words mainly regarding today's event, conveying clearly how significant today is, what follows success, and the consequences of failure.
