"A medicinal bath shouldn't hurt this much, right? I don't remember feeling like this when I was a kid."
Hanabi, the little girl who had already finished school at the ninja academy, once again wandered over here, listening to the wails of these four- or five-year-old kids, a slightly amused smile appearing on her face.
Lin Nian, who had silently walked over after sensing her arrival, rubbed her head speechlessly.
"These little guys are only four or five years old. It's normal for them to cry and fuss. And maybe when you're their age, you'll be just like them?"
As she spoke, she straightened her messy hair.
Hanabi, who had tried many times to escape Lin Nian's clutches but failed, could only angrily adopt a Gentle Fist stance, poking Lin Nian's thigh without any chakra.
However, whether the reason for not using chakra was to avoid hurting Lin Nian or to avoid hurting himself, no one knows for sure.
"Hmph, you're not allowed to rub my head anymore, understand? I'm not a four or five-year-old kid anymore!"
After finishing a set of 32 Gentle Fist techniques without chakra, Hanabi, finding her fingertips a little sore, gave up struggling. She raised her hands high, lifting Lin Nian's large hand that was on her head, before angrily saying...
In response, Lin Nian silently withdrew the force in her hands and echoed with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, you're definitely not a four or five-year-old kid anymore, you've evolved into an eight or nine-year-old kid."
The teasing words once again provoked the little girl, Hanabi, to huff and puff and kick again.
After playing around for a while, they realized that it was almost dusk.
Lin Nian waved to Hinata Hanabi's guards, said a few words through telepathy, and then, on a sudden whim, used Flying Thunder God Technique to take Hinata Hanabi to the Land of Snow.
Unlike relying on the dragon vein, Loulan City directly opened up a stable small space in another dimension and developed it for twelve years under its own leadership.
At this moment, even with the financial, technological, and military support he had obtained from plundering numerous criminal elements, the Snow Country was still in a precarious situation.
Overall, the country was still considered backward in Lin Nian's eyes, but in the eyes of the ninjas at this moment, life in that small place could be described as paradise.
After all, the Land of Snow is not very big, and whether it's a genetic or educational issue, although it has always been weak in terms of military strength, it has never lacked talent in scientific research.
Since the giant machine that extracts geothermal energy to change the environment was started, and after Lin Nian tinkered with it and provided ample material support and military guarantees, the development of the Snow Kingdom has rapidly entered a fast track.
The Thunder Chariots, which at least appear in Boruto, have already been deployed to a limited extent within the Land of Snow.
With the development of transportation, commerce and tourism have also brought new vitality to the country.
Meanwhile, Lin Nian, carrying fireworks, walked through the capital of the Snow Kingdom, watching the bustling crowds and browsing the various food stalls.
"Boss, these wolf tooth potatoes don't taste quite right! Wolf tooth potatoes don't have a sour taste at all!"
"No, buddy, let's not even talk about how happily this girl you're eating wolf-tooth potatoes, or the potato dipping in sugar next to her that you haven't said anything to, why are you telling me?"
"And every morning on this street, there's some bastard who sells bitter tofu pudding! I wouldn't say a word even if he added wasabi!"
Looking at the bustling crowds, the brightly lit streets, and the houses that embody the unique charm of the Land of Snow, and this snack that I've never tried before.
With one hand holding a spicy wolf tooth potato and the other a sour and spicy wolf tooth potato, Xiao Huahuo listened to her usually serious brother Lin Nian chatting and joking with the vendors over some trivial matters. Before she knew it, a bright smile appeared on her face.
However, those bright white eyes saw their own brother Lin Nian secretly taking out some colorless and odorless powder from his pocket, which, carried by a gentle breeze, fell into the food box of the stall owner selling sugared potatoes on the other side.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of a stall owner's wailing could be heard from that stall.
"Damn it, who the hell put chili peppers in sugar? It's so spicy! Does anyone have water? Does anyone have water?"
Meanwhile, Huahuo also saw Lin Nian's brother kindly hand a cup of yogurt to the stall owner who was looking for water because of the spiciness. The yogurt had no ingredients in it and was very safe.
After strolling through the food street, we headed to the toy store.
Half an hour later, led by Hinata Hanabi, who was carrying Big White on her back, holding Houmei in her arms, and with a pink fairy wand at her waist, Lin Nian, who had been quietly putting a lot of toys into the scroll, finally walked through most of the bustling areas of the Snow Country's capital and saw a familiar figure at the intersection.
Mr. Asama.
"Lord Lin Nian, Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time, I wonder..."
"Lead the way! It's been a while since we last met."
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Huahuo along and got into a magnificent carriage.
After a journey of more than ten minutes, Lin Nian got off the carriage and arrived at the core of Feng Hua Xiao Xue Daming Mansion with Xiao Huo.
After knocking on the door and receiving permission to enter, Lin Nian pushed the door open and pulled Xiao Huahuo into the room, which was more like a dormitory than an office.
I saw her wearing a white yukata embroidered with plum blossoms. Her demeanor had truly transformed from the casual and nonchalant air of our first meeting to a unique charm, carrying a touch of serene elegance.
Asama Santayu, a retainer and minister of Fuuka Koyuki, bowed outside the door and slowly retreated.
Looking around, Little Fireworks decided that she didn't need to be there right now. She quietly took out the storage scroll containing her toys from Lin Nian's arms and retreated to a corner. She then started fiddling with various toys that she found interesting, passing the time.
After watching Xiaohuahuo's actions, Lin Nian chuckled and shook his head. He took a few steps to Fenghua Xiaoxue's side, glanced at the small pile of documents and Fenghua Xiaoxue's current approvals, and then gently placed his hand on Fenghua Xiaoxue's back.
The warm Qi flowed through my body, relieving the fatigue from working hard on state affairs for so long recently.
She stretched casually, ignoring the large expanse of spring scenery that came into view due to the angle from which Lin Nian was standing.
After humming lazily a few times, he glanced at Hyuga Hanabi, who had been brought by Lin Nian, and then gave Lin Nian a knowing look.
Lin Nian, who had not noticed any wariness or suspicion from Feng Hua Xiaoxue throughout the entire incident, felt somewhat better as he silently helped Feng Hua Xiaoxue recover from her physical exhaustion.
Ultimately, how should I put it? I can only say that Lin Nian is still just an ordinary person!
After all, he really had no designs on the Land of Snow, so he naively hoped that Kazahana Koyuki, whom he had helped, would not change her attitude towards him.
