Chapter 37 The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Power, the Mountains and Rivers Are Secure

Hinata Kaze didn't really get Fuuka Koyuki, at least not completely.

According to Fuuka Koyuki's description, she was only 18 years old, very young, and not yet fully open-minded. Hinata Kaze, though very eager, hadn't yet gone so far as to forcibly take her away.

That night, Hinata Kaze and Kazeka Koyuki talked until very late, gaining a deeper understanding of each other's thoughts.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue experienced a dreamlike success in restoring her country and was full of ambition to build it up. Suddenly, she found herself surrounded by enemies, unable to distinguish friend from foe. Her life was like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs, and she was deeply affected, which completely changed her previous ideas.

She continued her research on geothermal generators in order to change the environment and develop the Snow Country. However, with so many corrupt officials and scoundrels around, even if the Snow Country developed, the ordinary people would not be the ones to truly benefit.

Therefore, Feng Hua Xiaoxue felt that even if a geothermal generator were developed, it would be useless.

She believed she needed to change her approach; she needed to first seize power and become a true queen or daimyo before she could implement policies according to her own will.

To seize power in the Land of Snow, one cannot bypass Hyuga Kaze. Before the restoration of the kingdom, Asama Santayu was the most loyal and passionate, but after the restoration, he became the regent, and Asama Santayu often proved unreliable, frequently siding with the families and companies. Furthermore, he would rely on his seniority to boss her around, making it difficult to implement her orders.

In this situation, she racked her brains for a way out and found only Hinata Kaze as a solution.

Because Hyuga Kaze is too strong, other local forces are very wary of him and have been intentionally or unintentionally sowing discord and slandering him in front of Kazeka Koyuki, causing Kazeka Koyuki to distance herself from Hyuga Kaze.

It was precisely because of this that Koyuki Kazahana became even more determined to cooperate with Kaze Hinata. Of course, having experienced so much, Koyuki Kazahana was no naive fool, and she was also wary of Kaze Hinata.

"You're not like them, trying to bully others in the Land of Snow and send me off to make movies, are you?" Koyuki asked timidly, nestled in Hyuga Kaze's arms.

"Don't worry, the Snow Country is too small. I don't even consider it a threat. What I pursue is strength. To be honest, I don't really believe in geothermal generators. They consume too much energy. Maybe I can help you when I'm stronger."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue smiled without saying a word; she also had her own principles and methods.

The next day, despite the objections of the ministers and elders, Kazeka Koyuki forcefully announced a shocking piece of news: Lord Yukigami of Yukigami Village would become the King Consort of the Land of Snow, and would also have the power to oversee national affairs in addition to Yukigami Village.

The news caused a nationwide uproar. Rumors spread throughout the country that this was a conspiracy by the Snow Village to annex the Land of Snow, and that Kazahana Koyuki had been bewitched by men and was no longer fit to be the Daimyo of the Land of Snow. In some places, uprisings even broke out to resist Kazahana Koyuki's evil rule.

The local powers in the Land of Snow thought that a little girl would be intimidated by such a display and would quickly submit, but they didn't expect that they would be the ones to submit first.

Because Yukigakure has started to make big moves. Normally, ninjas are not allowed to intervene in national affairs, but Yukigakure has raised the banner of the King's husband and claimed to be following the Daimyo's orders to crack down on illegal organizations and the remnants of the traitor Fuka Nuta.

Faced with the power of the ninjas, the local forces that had been bullying the people were immediately routed, and most of them were wiped out in just a few days.

In the process of eliminating these forces, the Snow Ninjas, who were skilled in intelligence gathering, also discovered a lot of evidence of their collusion with the traitor Feng Hua Nu Tao.

From assisting in the murder of the late King Fuuka Hayase, to aiding Fuuka Nutō in oppressing the people of the Snow Country, and then to their rebellion against the legitimate rule of the Snow Daimyo, providing information to Fuuka Nutō, the evidence is so detailed and the chain of events so complete that it's as if someone wrote it down on the spot.

Subsequently, the Snow Kingdom launched a massive crackdown on these rebellious forces, resulting in a bloodbath. The mountains of gold, silver, jewels, and grain found in the homes of these rebels became the most compelling evidence of their crimes.

If they hadn't been allied with the traitor Feng Hua Nu Tao, how could they have amassed such immense wealth during a time when the common people of the Snow Kingdom were starving and freezing?

Ultimately, this massive purge ended with the annihilation of more than half of the clans in the Land of Snow. Even Asama Santayu couldn't resist and risked his life to stop it, further compounded by the increasingly unstable situation across the country.

After much pleading from all the ministers, Fuuka Koyuki finally agreed to temporarily halt the operation. She also burned the evidence that had been found, declared that the past was over, and expressed her hope that everyone could live in harmony and work together to build a new Snow Country.

After a sweep, the major powers in the Snow Country were wiped out, and the remaining companies and families became very obedient, paying taxes in a proper manner in their production and business operations.

Kazeka Koyuki took advantage of the situation to implement several tax-reduction policies recommended by Hyuga Kaze, such as abolishing agricultural taxes and reducing tenant farmers' rents. She also used the confiscated goods to compensate many poor people whose families had been destroyed by Kazeka Naoto. The entire Snow Country was immediately stabilized, and the great achievements of Kazeka Koyuki were praised throughout the country.

Hinata Kaze no longer interfered with how to govern the Land of Snow; instead, he began touring the land with Kazeka Koyuki.

From the highest icebergs to the dark and mysterious snow valleys, from the bustling streets of the capital to villages with only a few dozen igloos, Hyuga Kaze traveled all over the Land of Snow in just one week, thanks to his Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the bedroom of the Snow Village, the two embraced quietly.

"Thank you for accompanying me all this time. Are you leaving the Snow Country?"

Hinata Kaze was surprised by her sensitivity, but didn't hide anything, "Yes, I still have a lot to do in Konoha, but don't worry, I'll be back."

Kazahana Koyuki chuckled, "Konoha, finally you're not pretending anymore, my Yukigami-sama?!"

Hinata Kaze was slightly embarrassed, then quickly retorted, "I didn't pretend at all, and we know each other very well, so it's self-evident."

As he spoke, his eyes roamed over Feng Hua Xiaoxue's smooth and alluring body, as if he were looking at her naked through her clothes.

Kazakura Koyuki bit her lip, glaring at Hinata Kaze with embarrassment and annoyance, "You dare to say you understand someone who hasn't even revealed their real name? Who knows if your appearance is even real?"

Hinata Kaze was momentarily stunned in embarrassment. He had plenty of chakra, and his enhanced transformation technique had not been subjected to any powerful attacks, so he was still unable to undo it.

"Oh! You're not even real, your appearance is fake. Who knows if you're actually a seventy or eighty-year-old man? Waaah, I'm so unlucky!" Feng Hua Xiaoxue, being an actress, could cry on cue.

Hinata Kaze was even more embarrassed and quickly deactivated the transformation technique, revealing his true appearance.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue was stunned. "You're so small? Have you developed yet, Wang Fu? Little brother!"

Her voice was tender and alluring, which infuriated Hinata Kaze. If it weren't for the fact that Fuuka Koyuki had just turned 18, he would have shown her what a true king of the wheel was tonight!
