Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

At least they are genuinely not afraid of death at all!

“If you’re worried about this idiot witch’s safety, you don’t need to, because…”

Feng Qi lightly flicked his sleeve, raised his finger and pointed at Zi Yuan standing in front of him, saying calmly, "I did not see any signs of death on her."

"You bastard, how dare you call me an idiot! Who do you think you are?!"

For some reason, seeing the other party's calm appearance, Ziyuan's anger flared up instantly, and she took two steps forward and grabbed Feng Qi's shirt at the chest.

The transparent bells hanging from her hair swayed slightly with her movements, making a few crisp sounds.

The other person was pitifully weak, and the relatively tall Feng Qi let the furious girl drag him around like that.

His deep gaze passed through the small face so close to his own and looked at the transparent bell that emanated a special energy.

This little gadget sealed away Shion's innate power, and it also harbors the spiritual will of the previous priestess, Miroku!

Perhaps I can learn the means to control desires from the previous priestess...

Thinking of this, a fleeting glint of light flashed in Feng Qi's eyes, and the Qimen formation diagram beneath his feet quietly lit up, as he tried to communicate with the transparent bell.

The good news is that the transparent bell did indeed react, flashing briefly.

The bad news is that the other party seems unwilling to communicate with Feng Qi, this stranger who exudes a mysterious aura, and even directly activated his hidden power!

hum!

A semi-transparent purple energy barrier opened, forcibly separating Ziyuan, who was clinging tightly to Feng Qi.

"Sigh, if you don't want to communicate, then don't. Why make such a big fuss?"

Feng Qi scratched his head helplessly and sighed, "I'm a good person by nature..."

The moment the purple barrier opened, his keen senses immediately detected the danger, and he quickly dodged to create a safe distance.

"You...you can communicate with this bell?!"

Ziyuan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

This is a talisman given to me by my mother; it contains very powerful energy.

Even when attacked by rebels, they usually remain completely still.

And now, just by touching this "white-eyed Taoist priest" in front of him, the bell's reaction is so strong!

"That's it."

Feng Qi didn't hide anything. After pausing for a few seconds, he slowly spoke, his eyes flashing meaningfully, "This thing of yours is not auspicious; it will bring death to people."

"You bastard, you're still too dangerous. You must be executed on the spot!"

Zu Sui reacted strongly, quickly standing up and interrupting Feng Qi.

Before the previous priestess disappeared, she secretly summoned him and solemnly explained the transparent bell and the destructive power born from Shion.

Ashiho was certain that there was no third party present at the time.

Therefore, when he saw that Feng Qi, a man who had never appeared in the Land of Demons, could deduce such accurate information on their first meeting, he was indeed quite frightened, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

We can't let him continue to associate with Lady Shion like this!

Seeing that the usually calm and composed Zui was acting so strangely, the other attendants exchanged glances and then chose to stand behind him.

The samurai sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, revealing undisguised hostility towards Feng Qi.

As followers who are willing to die for the current priestess, their loyalty is beyond question.

A cold wind swept in, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Forget it. Even if you all bundled together and doubled your numbers, you still wouldn't be a match for me. Don't get beaten up for no reason."

Feng Qi glanced at Zu Sui and the others, then casually yawned.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 44 is wonderful, full of youthful energy.

The Land of Demons did not establish any ninja villages, and it is a neutral country that is rarely attacked by foreign powers. Its geographical location is far from the border where the five great powers intersect, unlike the tragic hometown of a certain rice-carrying handsome guy.

Therefore, although he is the guard of a high-ranking priestess, with Feng Qi's current strength, he doesn't even need to open the Feng Hou Qi Men to deal with Shi Sui and the others!

Feng Qi's warning ultimately failed to frighten the guards who were already prepared to sacrifice themselves.

Just as Azusa and the others continued to press forward, Feng Qi's gaze gradually sharpened.

"Ashiho! All of you, get out of here!" Shion shouted sternly.

"But Lady Shion, he..."

Despite it being the priestess's order, for the sake of the entire country's safety, Ashiho's gaze remained fixed on Fuuki.

Seeing this, Ziyuan said coldly, "Does even you think my prediction this time will be wrong?"

"The witch's death prophecy was absolutely correct."

Realizing what had happened, Shiho immediately knelt down on one knee, "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

Ziyuan did not respond, silently walked past him, and came back to Feng Qi.

"What exactly do you know about this bell?" she asked in a deep voice.

"This doesn't seem like the proper attitude when asking for advice, does it?" Feng Qi smiled.

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan, who was always aloof, twitched at the corner of her mouth and almost couldn't hold back.

The thought that every time the bell rang in the depths of her mind, she would see the scene of death of the person next to her, made her fists clench involuntarily at her sides.

She desperately wanted to know what use the items her mother had left behind still had!

"Excuse me, could you tell me the secret of the bell?"

After holding it in for a long time, almost turning her face red, Ziyuan finally blurted out those words with embarrassment.

She, as a priestess of the Land of Demons, has absolutely no sense of manners!

Feng Qi chuckled and stepped aside, pointing to the fortune-telling stall behind him: "Two thousand taels for a divination."

Whether it's a priestess from the land of demons or an ordinary citizen, his prices are quite standard, and he never cheats anyone, young or old.

"..." Ziyuan stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

After going through all this trouble, it turns out you just want to make money off me?

You should have told me sooner!

Shion pulled a stack of silver notes from the inner pocket of her shrine maiden uniform, slammed them onto the fortune-telling stall, and said generously, "Here, take it all, no need to return any extras!"

As expected of the priestess of the Land of Demons who lives in a gigantic palace, this single act must have cost at least tens of thousands of ryo...

Feng Qi marveled at the other party's wealth in his heart, then reached out and took two thousand-tael silver notes from inside.

"Now you can talk, right?" Ziyuan asked impatiently.

"Didn't I just make it very clear? Your thing is pretty weird," Feng Qi laughed.

That's it? That's it?

"Nope."

Feng Qi naturally couldn't tell Zi Yuan the truth about the transparent bell when he was about to come into contact with the spirit of the demon.

Besides the many variables that would result from doing so, it's also hard to say whether Shion can control the power that has completely broken free of the seal.

After all, she is still too young, in terms of age.

"...Damn Taoist priest, you bastard with white eyes, Zu Sui, don't stop me, I'm going to execute him on the spot!"

After a brief silence, Shion's inner power exploded, and she rolled up the sleeves of her shrine maiden uniform, ready to take down Fuuki in a fit of rage.

"No, Lady Shion, this is not the time and scene you predicted at all!"

Zu Sui and her entourage desperately tried to hold her back.

"Don't worry about it! This damned Taoist priest has to die right now, I said it!!"

Shion was aggressive and glaring, seemingly having forgotten that she was the supreme and noble priestess of the Demon Kingdom.

That's great! Is this the youthful vibe that Kai always talks about?

Looking at the aloof girl who had unleashed her true nature and revealed her most authentic self, Feng Qi smiled calmly, turned around, and started packing up his fortune-telling stall in front of Zi Yuan.

He had received his earnings for the day, and it was getting late, so he prepared to leave.

"Damn it! Don't run away if you dare, Asahi! I told you not to hold me back, get out of my way!"

Seeing that the other party was about to walk away, Ziyuan, who was being held tightly, completely disregarded her image and kicked Feng Qi from a distance.

With a "whoosh," the wooden clogs, carrying the faint scent of a young girl's feet, drew a graceful parabola in the air and smashed straight into the back of Feng Qi's head!

The angle was surprisingly precise; it might even hit an ordinary person.

However, for Feng Qi, who has a 359-degree field of vision, this is no different from throwing it right in front of him.

Feng Qi simply tilted his head slightly to dodge the girl's wooden clogs that came from behind.

After intercepting it in mid-air with his outstretched hand, he casually swung his arm and threw it in a certain direction.

boom!

What seemed like a light, effortless movement gave the wooden clogs the power of an arrow, forcefully breaking through the hard floor tiles and embedding themselves next to Shion's bare feet!

"You're much cuter now than when we first met, you had such a sour face."

A gentle breeze swept by, lifting Feng Qi's long hair and revealing his handsome face.

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan abruptly stopped her violent struggles and stood there blankly.

It was only at this point that she belatedly realized.

The other party is truly unafraid of their own death prophecy, and...

Unlike others, who looked at themselves with fear and dread as if they were monsters!

Whether it's ridicule or deception, isn't the life I've been longing for and dreaming of—exchanging ideas with others on an equal footing—just like everyone else?

Unfortunately, he won't live much longer...
