What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

[Note: Repeated interactions with Red Bean can advance the evolution of the curse seal and grant access to the Dragon Cave's magical techniques!]

.......

93. The weeping red bean; how pitiful!

Dragon Cave Immortal Techniques?

Di Yan was completely satisfied.

It could even be described as a pleasant surprise.

He originally only wanted to completely tame Hongdou, this thorny rose.

And he tried to control the cursed seal that belonged to Orochimaru.

But to my utter surprise...

A profound fusion of energy and a brief collision at the level of the soul.

It actually allowed him to obtain the power of the cursed seal.

Moreover, as he develops feelings for Hongdou over time, he may actually have a chance to obtain the magic of Ryuchi Cave.

what does this mean?

This means he might not have to go through Orochimaru's cruel and dangerous experiments.

You will have the opportunity to directly peek into or even master the immortal techniques of Ryuchi Cave!

You should know that Sage Mode is known in the ninja world.

Only the three holy sites are available in the version.

Learn any one of them at random.

This represents a qualitative improvement in their own combat capabilities.

This is like a windfall, a huge profit!

Di Yan's heart was filled with turmoil.

They have already begun to rapidly plan how to obtain more magical power from the red bean.

This is undoubtedly the greatest value of red beans.

however……

Just as Di Yan was lost in his fantasies...

In contrast, Mitarashi Anko's mind went completely blank.

Anko participated in the Third Shinobi World War, and as Orochimaru's disciple, she experienced extremely bloody battlefields.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that she was no different from a newly graduated genin.

In short... she was scared...

As a result, Hongdou felt more and more aggrieved.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and even the tip of her nose was red.

This pitiful appearance makes him look disheveled and pathetic.

In addition, Hongdou is petite and delicate, barely reaching 1.6 meters in height.

At this moment, she actually appears somewhat...delicate and touching? 01

"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd been bullying you."

Di Yan glanced at her, then shook his head with a smile.

Hongdou pouted and didn't say anything.

But she only felt that she was useless.

After all, he had made a solemn vow in his heart.

anyway.

I absolutely must not show any sign of cowardice...

After all, no matter what, Mitarashi Anko is a ninja who has experienced countless battles.

He was a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin...

We absolutely cannot lose face...

But she still overestimated herself.

The impact on her soul far exceeded the limits of her willpower.

All she remembers is crying at the end...

"Woo..."

Hongdou couldn't help but let out a sob of grievance.

I feel so wronged, all I want to do now is curl up in a corner.

In contrast, Di Yan remained calm and composed.

When I turned around, all I saw was Hongdou looking so miserable.

Look at her, so wronged yet afraid to complain, only able to secretly sniffle.

This is in stark contrast to her usual cheerful and even somewhat reckless image.

Di Yan was in a good mood.

It was rare for me to feel a touch of pity.

He crouched down and extended his finger.

He wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

His movements weren't exactly gentle.

But this made Hongdou tremble violently.

She looked at him in surprise, like a frightened little animal.

"She's actually more delicate than I imagined."

Di Yan commented.

It was impossible to tell whether the tone was sarcastic or a statement of fact.

Hongdou's face instantly turned bright red. She abruptly closed her eyes, unable to look at him, wishing she could faint on the spot.

Di Yan chuckled softly.

They seemed to find her reaction amusing.

He stood up and picked up his spare cloak from the side.

Throw it over the red bean.

"Rest for fifteen minutes. Then return to the palace."

He left those words and walked to the window.

He put his hands behind his back and looked out the window at the night view of Konoha, ignoring her.

Give her some time to process her emotions.

Hongdou wrapped the cloak, still imbued with the aura of Emperor Yan, tightly around herself and buried her burning face in the soft fabric.

A mix of grievances, bitterness, shame, and a strange, unspoken thrill of being utterly conquered churned within her.

She knew she was completely finished.

From body to mind.

They were all marked with an indelible mark by this man.

And what awaits her in the future?

There will probably be countless more exchanges like this...

When I think about this.

Hongdou felt somewhat helpless.

But deep down, a shameful, faint expectation rose within her that she herself could not understand.

This conflicting emotion made her hate herself even more for her own lack of ambition.

They could only bury their faces even deeper.

Silently cursing this damned, inescapable fate.

at the same time.

Outside the private room, Uzuki Yugao leaned against the cold wall.

It was as if only in this way could I support my slightly limp body.

And at this moment.

The izakaya was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.

The sounds of clinking glasses, boisterous laughter, and shouts rose and fell in waves...

But Uzuki Yugao had no time to spare for anything else.

For a short while, Xi Yan's attention remained focused on the interior of the room...

"Are they alright yet? Your Majesty has gone too far!"

Why didn't Red Bean call for help?

"Should I go and save Hongdou? What should I do?"

Xi Yan's mind was in turmoil.

Things were moving too fast, hitting her nerves hard.

If there were people around, they could see that Uzuki Yugao's cheeks were red and white in patches.

Even her ears and neck were tinged with a blush.

There was fear and dread.

There was also a hint of something that even they themselves couldn't quite articulate...

But in the end, Xiyan subconsciously clenched her sleeve tightly.

They never took any steps forward.

Previously, Di Yan had patiently taught Xia.

Xi Yan was no longer an innocent girl.

She also learned something...

He naturally knew what kind of battlefield Red Bean was facing.

But it was precisely because of this that she felt so lost.

When Di Yan was teaching her, that cold gaze reappeared before her eyes.

This sent chills down her spine.

And the voice of Red Bean at this moment.

This undoubtedly concretizes that abstract command into an extremely realistic, even cruel, scene.

So...it's this scary?

Xiyan felt as if her heart was being gripped by an icy hand.

A wave of fear washed over me.

She knew Hongdou's strength and personality.
