Chapter 469 The Princess's Reserve

The hot spring town of Yu-no-kuni (Hot Spring Country).

A place filled with warmth, the scent of rouge, and pink lighting.

The atmosphere was always filled with ambiguity and romance; both men and women wore relaxed and comfortable expressions.

Even if you have some hesitation or anxiety before coming, as long as you stay here for a few days, all your troubles will disappear.

This is a paradise for men, and also a paradise for women.

If you have enough money, the whole street will serve you.

This place used to be called the Land of Rivers, but later, thanks to the efforts of the Lady of the Land of Rivers, Reiko Kawasawa, it acquired a new name – the Land of Hot Springs.

Here, money is everything.

Here, capital reigns supreme!

This place is dependent on all the major powers.

There are even rumors that the mastermind behind those underground exchanges that are spread throughout the ninja world is Reiko Kawasawa, the wife of the daimyo of the Land of Rivers, or rather, the Land of Hot Springs.

Chiaki made this very clear.

That's right!

The rumors are true!

The person in charge of the underground exchange is Reiko Kawasawa!

Only a country like the land of rivers, which is completely controlled by capital, has the financial resources to establish an underground exchange.

It's important to know that the amounts involved in underground exchanges often exceed tens of millions, and in some cases, a single transaction can exceed one hundred million.

To give an example, imagine someone places an order on an underground exchange to tie up the goddess of life, Senju Chiaki, to their bed.

This single deal is worth a staggering 10 billion!

However, a second order worth 20 billion was quickly placed, with the objective of killing and serving up the guy who wanted to insult the goddess of life.

Clearly, the second order was completed quickly. The underground exchange paid the bounty immediately upon seeing the pig-head-like severed head, much to the envy of the onlookers.

Even though the person who assigned the task was Kawasawa Reiko, and the person who completed the task was a ninja hired by Kawasawa Reiko, the whole order was just a show, a script.

But the script is indeed a script, the killings are real, and the money is real.

When a bounty of 20 billion taels of silver falls right in front of you, the impact is unparalleled.

After all, without sufficient financial resources, why would anyone be willing to place orders on an underground exchange?

Even though Chiaki didn't actually show up, Reiko Kawasawa still managed to boost the reputation of the underground exchange by leveraging Chiaki's fame.

She had always been grateful to Chiaki.

Therefore, upon Chiaki's arrival, Reiko Kawasawa greeted him with great fanfare and sent a large number of people to receive him.

"There's really no need to be so polite, Madam Daimyo."

Chiaki smiled helplessly, her dining etiquette remaining impeccable.

In this atmosphere, the princess soul belonging to Otohime within Chiaki stirred restlessly, completely displaying the airs of a princess.

Chiaki was already trying her best to suppress her emotions. After all, Kawasawa Reiko was a familiar face, and there was no point in putting on airs like a princess in front of her.

However, Otohime was simply too excited. As the wife of a daimyo, the de facto ruler of the country, and a woman at that, she couldn't help but want to show off.

There's no way around it; nobles are always at odds with each other.

Therefore, two completely opposite attitudes suddenly appeared in Qianqiu.

Her words were quite friendly and casual, but her actions completely revealed the reserve that belonged to a true princess.

"Qianqiu, I wasn't being polite."

Reiko Kawasawa smiled as she spoke to Chiaki. She noticed Chiaki's completely opposite attitude, smiled and winked, and didn't say much, but simply lowered her posture slightly.

Ultimately, the ninja world is a dog-eat-dog world where strength reigns supreme.

Chiaki's strength had long exceeded Kawasawa Reiko's expectations. Even though Chiaki spoke with the attitude of a princess, Kawasawa Reiko did not feel disgusted. On the contrary, she felt it was only natural.

"It is truly an honor for my humble abode to have the goddess grace us with her presence."

Reiko Kawasawa's exquisite and elegant face was adorned with a friendly smile, and she perfectly embodied the demeanor of a noblewoman.

Qianqiu gave a bitter smile. Back then, when Kawasawa Reiko called him, she called him Xiao Qiqi. Now it's completely different.

There was no other way. Reiko Kawasawa represented many things, and with the difference in their status, she would naturally change her attitude to avoid getting into trouble.

Chiaki sighed softly, then invited the somewhat reserved Mirai beside her to dine, and, maintaining the demeanor of a princess, accompanied Kawasawa Reiko through the banquet she had prepared.

After the banquet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kawasawa Reiko, who had drunk a couple of glasses, with a charming blush on her face, invited Chiaki to take a bath together.

After pondering for a moment, Qianqiu turned to look at the future and asked for her opinion.

She didn't have any plans for the future; she just wanted to quietly follow Chiaki. Besides, Kawasawa Reiko was a woman too, so there was nothing wrong with them all taking a bath together.

The reason I didn't let Chiaki come along when she was chatting with Orochimaru was because some topics and things were not suitable for the future to know. But when she was chatting with Reiko Kawasawa, there was no need for that.

"What brings the Goddess to our Land of Hot Springs this time?"

In the smoke-filled bathroom, Reiko Kawasawa leaned lazily against the edge of the bathtub, reaching out to brush away the rose petals floating on the milky white water, her gaze lingering on Chiaki.

She gazed at Qianqiu's already "grown-up" figure, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

Reiko Kawasawa herself had an excellent figure, and her appearance, temperament and physique were all superb, but compared to Chiaki at this moment, she was still slightly inferior.

Chiaki also leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her slender fingers casually playing with Future's fingers underwater, without answering.

Future blushed and didn't dare to look up, instead keeping her head down and making bubbles on the water's surface.

Seeing that Chiaki remained silent and seemed to be ignoring her, Reiko Kawasawa paused, gave a helpless smile, and said softly, "Chiaki, do you feel like we've grown distant?"

"I was forced by circumstances. You are a goddess now, and I can't break the rules at the dinner table."

"Humph."

Chiaki gave a soft hum, her expression softening. Kawasawa Reiko saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. She said gently, "How about this? For the next few days, I'll stay with you. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you, okay?"

"Okay."

Chiaki deflated, raised her peach blossom eyes and looked at Reiko Kawasawa, saying, "I've come to find Tsunade-neechan this time. Reiko, you should know where my sister is, right?"

Chapter 470 The Big Fat Sheep

"Place your bet now! Place your bet now!"

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you! Hurry up and choose the bet you want to place! Don't make me want to swear!"

A shirtless man covered in tattoos was cursing and shouting. He was holding a dice cup in his hand, and his gaze kept drifting toward the woman sitting in the innermost circle.

Not only him, but almost all the men around them would often look at that woman.

There's no other reason, she's just too big!

What's even more outrageous is that, not only is she big, but she also insists on showing off her northern hemisphere!

unacceptable!

Isn't this forcing people to watch?

With such a vast expanse of white, who wouldn't be drawn to it!

"Ding is still half!"

"Place your bets quickly!"

The man shook the dice cup, his gaze moving up and down along the woman's northern hemisphere.

"Half! I don't believe it! I can't keep losing!?"

The woman tossed her long golden hair with an air of authority, snatched a handful of silver coins from the black-haired girl beside her who had been ignored, and threw them directly into the circle marked "half".

After the woman placed her bet, the men who had been focusing their attention on her stopped looking at her and instead placed their bets on the circle marked "D" on the other side.

They prefer the feeling of winning money to that of women.

After all, this woman was someone that they, a bunch of stinking men, could not possibly obtain. Since that was the case, they might as well try to win more money from her.

With money, what kind of woman can't you find?

The guy in front of me is the legendary fat sheep! Once you miss this opportunity, you won't find another one!

It is said that the legendary "Big Fat Sheep" was a very beautiful woman with an excellent figure.

Perhaps because she was too beautiful, the gods bestowed upon her a misfortune.

As long as Big Fat Sheep gambles, she will definitely lose.

A fat sheep who always loses at gambling! A fat sheep who squanders money!

Wherever she goes, the economy of the entire street rises by several percentage points; she's practically a lucky charm for all gamblers.

As for whether the big loser might get so angry that he'd cause a scene, the gamblers, blinded by greed, don't care.

They don't care about the casino's fate if they can make money by following the big fish.

Anyway, if you smash one casino, there'll just be another one; you can't stop this kind of thing.

Moreover, as long as the big fat sheep is willing to play, someone will always build a casino for her as quickly as possible so she can play.

There were even officials who would personally arrange for someone to play gambling games with her.

There's no way around it, she's just too outrageous, like a god of wealth, increasing GDP everywhere.

"It's open, it's open!"

"Man!"

"Half a loss!"

The shirtless man opened the dice cup, and amidst the wailing of the fat sheep, the surrounding men excitedly divided up the silver she had placed down.

"Sir, shall we continue playing?"
