"Gehwa, of course, no problem, Mr. Ember. But you are always welcome to visit our country. I have prepared many sumptuous dinners for you. Please try our country's customs and traditions."
"Then I take my leave."
As soon as you run your hand along the cut, the flames in your palm become extremely hot, re-welding the broken metal visor and the decorative rivets on the coat. He was burning up, as if bewildered by what had just happened, and 4.9 ordered him to bring out chests of gold and silver jewelry from the cabin, each engraved with the design and location.
"Heh heh, let your men take care of these ordinary things, Mr. Enber. Please come in quickly."
Below the port, between the exchanges.
With your name in mind, Shimotsuki Yasushi and his family finally boarded an oxcart and entered their hometown.
Having just returned to their hometown, the green figure nimbly rolled into the large van belonging to the Kang family and parked in front of their house. (Whispering)
"The Fifth Master Kang, who was lurking at Qian Gang's training ground, sent out an urgent summons with an arrow. The mastermind behind Qian Gang..."
Chapter 0297 The Lonely Beast
I believe he is none other than Mr. Baili Xiao, the former chief swordsmanship instructor of Lao Zhong and Wu Baiming, and now the acting general of Heguo. This is a secret message urgently sent back by Gorota, which has already been translated. Please read it to the Kang family.
"show me!"
Yuekang's family was rarely rude. He reached out and grabbed the scroll from the green-clad ninja's hand, scrutinizing it carefully, word by word. After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"A time of great turmoil, a time of great turmoil."
The Yue family clutched the scroll tightly in their hands, while Wu Gang, the swordsman, was utterly bewildered. As the scent of sodium and benzene wafted through the air, my stepson died, the general fell ill, his personality drastically changed, and he wanted Mei to protect the romance of his name and the union with the royal family. Now, Baili Xiao was secretly forming a private army at the port. All of this left this traditional warrior, nearing fifty, somewhat bewildered.
For 800 years, Kazakhstan has practiced a policy of isolation. Within Kazuo, the country was stable and peaceful; the sons of generals inherited their positions, and the sons of powerful figures attacked other powerful figures. The children of soldiers were soldiers, and the children of farmers were farmers. In this way, everyone lived peacefully for over eight hundred years, or perhaps some traitorous villains were quietly washed away into the sea.
The recent turmoil in Heian-kyo stemmed from the ruthless actions of the former General Guangyue, which strained the nation's finances and led to the lavish hiring of officials from the Kurotan family, who were known for their rapid accumulation of wealth. The Kurotan family has grown increasingly powerful.
Furthermore, due to the previous generals' irrational behavior in their youth, they found it difficult to lose their children. The Kurozumi family coerced Togo Tsubone to use her influence—through the children of the previous general's nanny—to write letters to the generals, demanding that they agree that if the general had no children, one of the Kurozumi family's children would inherit the position.
Just when everyone was worried about the Kurotan family's attitude, no one expected that the woman, protected by the general and under the protection of the Togo Bureau, would secretly give birth to a man, who would become the modern general, on her birthday. Afterwards, the "Kurotan Rebellion" continued for 20 years, until the last Kurotan survivor's blood was spilled.
Absolutely not. We absolutely cannot allow the country to be shaken again. Mr. Tamada, where have you gone? What should I do now?
Just as the Kang family was deeply troubled, Baili Xiao and a red-crowned crane crossed the strait in the sky, returning to Huading with three small boxes. Was the tomb raiding small-scale?
"Kanjuro, take the fruit from this cave to your ink-painting animal at the Usagi-don quarry and give it to Usagi-don to pursue Kurosaki Jiro. Let him arrange a meal, and he'll understand the rest. Return to Kuri as soon as possible. Another big move is coming at this time. Please don't send anyone from Kuri to bother me."
"Yes, Your Highness, Viper, I'll be going now."
With that, Kanjuro took the small box from Hyakuri Akira with both hands and drew a vivid pelican on it. The huge throat pouch perfectly covered the box. After the finishing touch, the two-dimensional pelican, under the influence of its Devil Fruit power, came into the three-dimensional world. Nodding to Kanjuro, it flew straight towards the direction of the rabbit bowl.
Kanjuro bowed to Hyakuri Akira here, sat back on the waiting red-crowned crane, and flew towards Kuri.
Standing quietly, watching the two little ones, Baili Xiao took out a small box from his pocket and said to the person behind him:
"Mr. Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, please eat."
"Obey the royal family's orders."
Without delay or pause, the court's Changfu Lushou, dressed in the robes of a monk from the Harmony Kingdom, hunched his shoulders and emerged from behind Baili Xiao. He took out the bursting pitcher plant fruits from the box and swallowed them one by one without changing his expression.
"Hehehe, Mr. Fu Lu Shou, this is a Devil Fruit that you can't avoid even if you swallow it whole. You can say that the smell of hell is spreading in your mouth, but what does that mean to Mr. Fu Lu Shou, the leader of the imperial court?"
"...You mean it, that's impolite."
"Hehehe, Mr. Fu Lu Shou, it's quite a rare sight indeed."
“You’re right.”
. .
The next day, Baili Xiao ordered the arm training grounds beneath the Kozuki Castle Honmaru to be cleaned ahead of schedule. It was said that people were kept outside, afraid to linger near signs bearing Baili Xiao's mark. Baili Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Sitting on the martial arts platform watching the samurai fight below, Fukurokuju, standing beside him, signaled the event to end, then proceeded to test his newly acquired Devil Fruit ability.
"Mr. Fukurokuju, magic is like a tool used by a ninja to wield a shuriken or a samurai to wield a sword. It's important, but ultimately it depends on the user's mind, skill, and how they use it. Try this superhuman wax fruit ability."
"you're right."
Baili Xiao, as if he hadn't heard, waved his fan, signaling his disciples to move the enclosed boxes (Ma Hao Zhao) on one side of the training ground to their designated work positions. Seeing Fu Lu Shou, he went to the boxes without hesitation. Then, he turned the Guangyue emblem on the right armrest of his seat, and with a deafening roar of machinery, an underwater stone railing suddenly appeared, isolating the central arena of the training ground from the outside world.
"Haha, our warriors have had the custom of testing their knives on the living since ancient times, which is also a good way to measure one's own body. The quality of the grinding wheel also determines the maximum measurement limit. Mr. Lu Shou, this is a ferocious beast that I captured from the danger zone yesterday with great effort. After a while, the anesthesia will wear off. It must be defeated beautifully."
"Obey the royal family's orders."
So, the effects of the needle prick last less than 30 seconds. Three, two, one! The beast has emerged.
Chapter 0298 Restoring to Original State
Snake Abyss's vast knowledge and the massive tremors perfectly predicted the awakening of the beast within the cage. The stonemasons of Rabbit Bowl spent three years constructing a cage prison using the purest seabed stone, breaking free from the fragile hinges of the monster trapped inside. The heavy entrance soared into the sky, then crashed to the ground with a thud, thanks to the excavator's skillful workmanship and sophisticated shock-absorbing measures. Baili Xiao felt no vibration whatsoever.
At that moment, the eyes of a pair of animals in the cage lit up, and the sound of multi-legged creatures walking in a cage the size of a tycoon's mansion filled the air. They slowly emerged from the cage, startling the surrounding genin upon their first appearance.
This creature resembles a crocodile but has eight legs and is covered in deep red, horn-like scales. Sharp bones crisscross its body from its upper jaw to its tail, forming sharp angles for attack and defense. Compared to its enormous size, this soybean-sized animal's eyes are fixed intently on Fu Lushou. Between its gaping, open mouth, a strangely patterned leech can be vaguely seen. 437
Even the knowledgeable court leader, Fu Lu Shou, was startled by the alien creature that appeared before him. At that moment, a new command came from the voice that had been engraved on his bloodline for Fu Lu Shou's sake.
"The Elder's jellyfish usually have a activity level of 300 to 400 jellyfish. If the capture level of a near-shore sea king is around 8, this guy's capture level is around 13. After anesthetizing it, I sprayed it with a novel perfume. Now you should have an appetite. Mr. Fu Lu Shou..."
This is a formidable opponent. So, please enjoy the fact that Mr. Fukurokuju is known as the "strongest ninja in eight hundred years."
"you're right."
A moment later, surprisingly, Fu Lu Shou, with his superhuman physical abilities, rose from the ground and escaped Old Gallagher's first attack. The ancient rattlesnake's trail was filled with crocodile saliva and disgusting leeches splattering through the air.
"Ninja Technique and 852 Wax Milk 104 Sugar." 278
Lu Shou, guided by his own mind, instantly adjusted his physical state to its maximum. "Ninja Art: Burning Candles".
Flammable wax coating and coarse wax particles formed between two fingers; the ring finger ignited the wax, sending it flying towards the struggling Elgar crocodile. In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic, burning torch.
Clang, clang!!!
Stimulated by the flames, the rattlesnake broke free of the candle, emitting a deafening roar that reptiles could not produce. Like a dog quickly shivering and drying its fur after a bath, the rattlesnake, an elderly creature with the intelligence of a child, extinguished the flames of its burning body with a deadly technique called "Death Roll," a move reminiscent of a crocodile hunting on land.
Compared to candles made solely for candle-making purposes, the power of the flame was insufficient to threaten the old crocodile that had ruled the Galois Islands for 400 years. However, the wild animals' innate fear of fire still triggered the reason why old Gallagher was almost destroyed by the fighting perfume: the pig charged forward, continuing to attack the humanoid animal with its alluring scent.
The kite flipped over, big enough to leap over the old rattlesnake, and (aeej) lifted the stern of the boat, but the hands of the God of Fortune piled up a lot of wax, completely sealing the old rattlesnake inside a solid candle shaped like a pyramid.
"The seal has been perfectly suffocated," Fu Lushou said, pulling out his right hand.
"The Ninja Technique, the Candle Level Burial Seal."
When Baili Xiao turned the mechanical device again, the stone railings on the sea tower were restored to their original state, and only the huge white pyramid shone brightly in the candlelight in the field.
The snake couldn't help but clap its hands:
"Great, Mr. Fu Lu Shou, just for one night. Let me shout a bit, no need to bind the brother's garden, the wolf-tooth club and man-made disaster are gone."
"you're right."
"Hehe, I like the way you always talk so shyly. As for this candle, light it and let it simmer slowly. Its elusiveness lies in its delicate nature. The old crocodile ribs from Galata are delicious."
"Please speak. Okay, I'll take you to your room."
"Hmm, there's no need for that. Please let everyone on the street try it. This level of taste won't affect my cells..."
"Obey the royal family's orders."
Baili Xiao turned and left the training ground. His attendant, Shimokuma, changed clothes and disguised himself as a servant, following closely behind. The fans waved goodbye to the palanquin bearers who had come to greet them, then led the entourage to the martial arts arena. Through the Crane's Voice Gate and the corridor of the Eastern Straight Maru, they arrived at the Kōgetsu Shrine and entered the Sound-Passing Path behind the shrine. After passing through three longevity gates, they returned to the place where Acting General Baili Xiao was temporarily residing in Kōgetsu Castle, the Fengming Hall.
"You get off first and try the old rattlesnake. It's a rare delicacy in the city."
"Obey the royal family's orders."
Upon hearing that the imperial ninjas had left, Baili Xiao turned around, opened the door to Fengming Hall, walked straight through the corridor in the hall, and came to a small hall. Finally, he sat cross-legged in front of a small shrine.
Among the ancestors of the former Kurotan Shrine, namely the five guardian deities of the Kōgaku family, there was a separate family shrine—the Kurotan Shrine—that was dedicated to them. It disappeared after the decline of the Kurotan family.
Chapter 0299 The Only Heir
Moreover, not only in this land of harmony, but also in the castle with its dazzling cherry blossom tree, there is the magnificent Moon Palace, which is second only to the Great Heavenly Longevity Pavilion in holding the ceremony for the succession of the general, and the Long River Palace, where the general resides, ranks third.
In such a bustling hall, there was such a simple little shrine. It was completely empty. Only four names were written in ink on the inner wall of the shrine:
"Father's charcoal belly button", "Mother's charcoal sea moon", "Sister Kiyohime", "Jiro-maru"
Hehe, I've come to see you. I clearly promised you I wouldn't come back before the bright moon was destroyed. I seem to be the only one in our family who can't keep promises.
Where to start?
In his previous life, Baili Xiao was not an orphan; he was an ordinary person with parents and siblings, who was generally neglected by his parents.
Finally, as they grew up, they had less and less contact with their relatives and friends, and eventually died in the World War.
The only extraordinary thing about his ordinary life was that after his accidental death, he was born into this world and became Hei Tan Bai Li Xiao.
It cannot be said that the family experienced a major test of humanity, a very dangerous situation.
Anonymity, hardship, discovery, and escapism are part of daily life.
Although it was a thrilling experience, the family maintained a good relationship to a certain extent, and even the children, who were difficult to get close to, would never look down on their young parents.
In the instant of eye contact, the feelings in one's heart cannot be hidden.
If this were the ending, Baili Xiao wouldn't harbor such hatred for Guang Yue today. However, it's not just about the ancestors who enjoyed the prosperity of the Heitan family, but also about the fathers who fully atoned for their actions.
Even the children of the Kurotan family and the ignorant infants did not survive.
The older sister, who came into this world hungry, will endure it. The younger brother, still in swaddling clothes, is already suffering from the changes in life. In any case, let them rest in peace.
I think this is the reason for the cycle of reincarnation that traverses the vast distance between two worlds.
Baili Xiao was born with the supernatural ability to randomly travel between worlds. Using this unpredictable ability, the Romantic Warriors will lead their team to slaughter the night amidst the charcoal.
When Baili Xiao was about to die, it relied on its instincts for the first time.
At that time, I vowed to turn the Kingdom of Harmony into a hell for the Black Charcoal Family's revenge.
The survivors of Guangyue suffer and perish in this hell, and must awaken from their ordinary past lives.
The first world the snake traversed was a world known as the "Smooth Sun" in its previous life. With this exceptional talent, Baili Xiao rapidly grew in the streets of this other world, during the Edo period.
During the era of night-walking demons, Yamamoto Goro, a timber magnate in Edo Castle, and his Hyakumonogatari troupe acquired the "Hyakumonogatari Teapot".
Finally, just as Yamamoto's henchmen were about to be torn apart, Baili Xiao was once again fortunate enough to arrive in the world known as "The Gourmet's Prisoner".
But Baili Xiao's journey to the fantasy world is not long.
He only found a flat, disc-shaped stone in a mine; after the wound healed, it turned back into raw charcoal.
At that time, there was nothing.
Sitting before the shrine, Baili Xiao first recounts his experiences over the years to his deceased relatives, expressing his determination to exact eternal revenge on the Kozuki family. But eventually, he calms down and sits there, thinking of nothing.
Until the presence of a second person appeared here, the mirror-like lake surface of Baili Xiao began to ripple again.
