Chapter 94 The Land of Flowers
The land of flowers.
"Uncle Kakuzu, take a rest, you're too tired."
"Making money is important, but life is more important!" Lone Star leaned against a big tree, unwilling to move another step.
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's forehead veins bulged, and he rested three times in less than an hour. It had only been a short while before he started complaining of being tired again.
"Then you stay here and I'll come back to you when I'm done."
Fortunately, after spending almost a year together, Kakuzu had become immune to this and made arrangements directly.
"But I want to see Uncle's heroic fighting style!" A hint of struggle flashed across her face. "Should I rest or not?"
"Come on up!" Kakuzu could easily see through her little scheme.
"Uncle, I'm so sorry," Gu Xing said, already leaning on his back.
Even after encountering her many times, Kakuzu's lips twitched involuntarily before he carried her on his back and walked forward.
He didn't understand how he had become like this. Perhaps he had been alone for too long, and having such a lively little girl with him was not bad.
Turning to look at the sleeping Lonely Star, I was speechless. "How big is his heart?"
However, it is really good to be completely trusted by others.
After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Ye chuckled and asked with half-closed eyes, "Uncle, are we still not there?" He then yawned again and leaned on her shoulder.
"Get some sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there!" Kakuzu replied calmly.
After waiting for a while, I received no response.
He looked and saw that the person had fallen asleep again.
Kakuzu clenched his fist and then relaxed it. "Hold on, don't lower yourself to the level of this little girl."
Suddenly, some noise woke up Lone Star.
"It looks like a fight has broken out!" She suddenly opened her eyes and noticed her surroundings. "Wait, why is she in the tree?"
Lone Star quickly turned his gaze in the direction of the sound.
She exclaimed, "Uncle..."
Without thinking twice, he drew his longsword from his waist and threw it.
At the same time, she also came to Kakuzu's side.
He knocked away the kunai that had attacked him, and the longsword flew back into Lone Star's hand.
"Uncle, are you alright?" she asked.
"I don't even consider these people a threat."
"But you, don't go out like this if you have nothing to do." Kakuzu said with a look of annoyance.
"Uncle, what are you saying? If it weren't for me, you would have wasted a heart."
“Although the heart can be re-acquired, it shouldn’t be reconstructed like this,” Lone Star said with a look of disapproval.
She glanced around and said, "Uncle, these people look like they were lying in ambush."
"Hmm... since you're here, I'll leave the one in front to you, is that alright?" Kakuzu pointed to a samurai not far away.
"no problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Ye instantly appeared not far from the samurai, and with a flash of sword light, he left a wound on the samurai's neck.
The samurai touched his neck, his eyes filled with disbelief, and then collapsed.
"Uncle, I've completed the mission. Now it's up to you." Lone Star said calmly, wiping the bloodstains off the sword with a cloth.
"Okay, you can just watch from the side." Kakuzu was very satisfied with her quick and efficient action.
Lone Star was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he jumped to the top of a tree and waited.
The samurai and ninjas who came to ambush them were already considering retreating. Kakuzu was already troublesome enough, and now a smaller one had appeared, whose strength seemed no less than Kakuzu's. How were they supposed to fight him?
The leader gave a gesture, and everyone immediately scattered and retreated in different directions.
Uchiha Ye had anticipated this situation. She had captured the samurai and ninjas on the bounty list one by one with a single sword strike, and she found it too tiring to even glance at the others.
"Uncle, we'll get a lot of money this time." Lone Star looked at the corpse on the ground and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, there's a gold exchange nearby that's not far from here," Kakuzu replied while putting on his clothes.
"Uncle, I suggest you get a suit made. It's too much trouble to take it off every time you fight," Uchiha Ye suggested without looking up, touching the corpse on the ground.
"Oh wow... more extra income." Lone Star said happily after touching some money.
Kakuzu had no idea what the pleasure of touching corpses was, and he was still wondering where he had learned this fetish from.
on the road.
"smell good!"
"Uncle, where is this place?!"
A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers into Lonely Star's nose, instantly invigorating her.
"The Land of Flowers," Kakuzu replied calmly, without saying anything more.
"That's a country that specializes in growing flowers. No wonder the air is filled with the fragrance of all kinds of flowers along the way," Lone Star exclaimed, but inwardly he thought, "They're really lazy when it comes to naming things."
After finding a hotel to stay in, Lonely Star fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed.
"This girl is far too sleepy."
Kakuzu looked at the girl who had already fallen asleep and shook his head with a sigh.
He then lay down on another bed next to him and closed his eyes.
"That feels good..." Lonely Star sat up and stretched before getting out of bed.
She picked up the note on the table and read, "Back this afternoon!"
"That's really concise enough."
Lone Star muttered a complaint, then glanced at the sky; it was only close to noon.
"I'll just go out for lunch and then take a stroll." She quickly planned her itinerary.
After washing up and putting on a mask, Lone Star left the hotel.
The 'flower dish' looked pretty good, so she decided to eat there immediately.
After ordering a few specialty dishes, Lonely Star waited quietly, listening to the conversations of others.
Are you going to this year's flower competition?
"What flower competition? It's clearly a pretext to find someone who can make the national flower of the Flower Kingdom bloom."
"If the national flower doesn't bloom this year, Daming's position will be in jeopardy."
"That's true, but I heard that the daimyo is preparing ten million taels of silver this time. Whoever can make the national flower bloom will receive ten million taels of silver."
"Really?" People who were not interested in the flower competition at first suddenly perked up their ears to listen.
Upon hearing that there were ten million taels, Lone Star immediately made a plan in his mind: "It's just a matter of blooming flowers. She can just flick out a wisp of spiritual energy, and the money will be in her hands."
She loves things that are simple, mindless, and yet allow her to make money.
"We can also give Uncle Kakuzu a surprise."
"But where can we find a flower to participate in the flower competition?"
"It has to be a flower that can be in the top ten, otherwise you won't get to meet the national flower."
Gu Xing caught a glimpse of the small orchids decorating the shop out of the corner of his eye, and an idea immediately came to him.
After finishing her meal, she left the money on the table and returned to the hotel, but with an extra orchid in her hand, which she had obviously picked from the shop earlier.
Back in his room, Lonely Star planted the orchid in the flowerpot he had just bought on the way.
Sensing her surroundings to make sure no one was paying attention, she channeled her spiritual energy into the orchid.
The orchid, which was originally small, quickly grew taller.
Looking at the mutated orchid in front of him, Lone Star laughed, "It might even win first place in the flower competition."
