Even after several rounds of screening by Huang, the number of immigrants to Sunwheel City was still enormous. Without prior notice, it was impossible to settle all of them at once.

"Please let me and my people resolve these matters together."

"Furthermore, please arrange for any assistance you may need."

When asked about such a minor issue as housing, Takiyasha-hime immediately responded.

Although Yu Zhi also had many worries in his heart, such as his queen, and his companions, how were they doing now?

However, he also clearly understood that the current situation required him to shoulder the responsibility and settle the people behind him.

"If that's the case,"

"Well then, welcome to the Land of Snow."

Hearing the woman who would be directly in charge say this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue breathed a slight sigh of relief and took the lead in extending her palm.

Ultimately, the reason she made the decision to take them in without consulting the ministers was because the person who introduced them was Uchiha Ara.

They are my benefactors in restoring my country, nothing more.

Chapter 635 Can I ask you for one more favor, Onmyoji?

The next day,

The entire population of the Snow Country knew about the arrival of the Demon Hidden Village forces.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar, with many voices expressing doubt.

After all, decades ago, the Snow Country was plagued by man-made disasters and widespread suffering because the king's younger brother instigated the Snow Ninja to launch a rebellion.

Skeptics worry that the entry of such an outside force could lead to similar events in the future.

Moreover, the force that has moved in is the infamous Demon Village, a group of terrorists who have overturned Konoha!

How can such a force make everyone feel at ease?

Yes,

Previously, the Hidden Demon Village had already sent some ninja tool craftsmen to the area.

The fundamental reason why that matter was not opposed was that the number of people involved was relatively small, and those ninja tool masters had also greatly assisted the research and manufacture of armor in the Land of Snow.

But now the entire ninja village has moved in, which is somewhat hard to accept.

However, all these doubts were refuted by Feng Hua Xiaoxue with reason and logic.

Furthermore, she only has two arguments, or they can be summarized into one point:

The person in charge of the Hidden Demon Village is Uchiha Ara, who is the benefactor who helped her quell the rebellion of her uncle, Fuuka Nata, and who also made the Land of Snow have the peaceful environment it has today!

These two acts of kindness are enough to make him lower all his guard and accept the other party's forces.

The card of gratitude silenced many people's doubts.

But in the end, it still couldn't quell everyone's worries.

Ultimately, it was Asama Santayu, as a minister, who posed an overwhelming counter-question to the remaining opponents:

Given the current power of the Hidden Demon Village, if they truly insist on ceding the Land of Snow to their territory, it would be an effortless matter. What would the Land of Snow do then?

[Should we resist, accept, or seek help from the five major powers?]

Such extreme remarks left the opponents speechless.

Because they clearly understand that if things really come to that point, then resistance or appealing to the five great powers for help will likely be futile.

Seeing the stiff expressions on the faces of the opponents, Asama Santayu added in a gentler voice:

On the contrary, possessing a powerful ninja village is not only an essential path for the Land of Snow to become strong, but also the wish of the former monarch, King Hayayuki.

..........

"...That's roughly the situation."

"To be honest, when San Taifu said those things to those opposing ministers and residents' representatives, I really started to worry."

Feng Hua Xiao Xue vividly described the events that had occurred that morning in the capital of the Snow Kingdom to a couple in front of her.

And when she mentioned San Taifu's remarks, her voice became somewhat disordered.

After all, she was one of the biggest victims in the Snow Country during the upheaval that occurred more than a decade ago, and she witnessed her uncle murder her father and burn down her childhood home for the sake of power.

The number of residents from the Sunwheel City who have arrived is almost equal to the total number of residents in the Snow Kingdom. It would be hard to believe that such a large-scale migration would not have any concerns.

It is evident how much pressure Koyuki Kazahana, the current ruler of the Land of Snow, and Santau Asami, the Minister of Home Affairs, had to bear to gain the acceptance of the entire country.

"But I believe, Ara, you won't do anything to disappoint me, will you?"

After a slight hesitation in his words,

She looked at the young man sitting opposite her.

Compared to our previous meeting, he seemed to have changed somewhat, becoming more mature.

It's not that they've lost their youthful vigor and sharpness, but rather that they've learned to temper that overt sharpness.

"I swear in the name of the mysteries of the moon that neither I nor my people will ever attempt to seize power."

"And we will protect this land as if it were our own home."

"If there is any violation, I will absolutely not let it go unpunished!"

However, before the main character could respond, Takiyasha-hime, who was standing beside Ara, suddenly spoke up and made a promise amidst the slight tremor in her voice and expression, which was similar to that of Fuuka Koyuki.

He was able to clearly understand the anxieties of the monarch, ministers, and residents of this land, which is why he so urgently expressed his will.

A clear and tangible sincerity flowed in his dark eyes.

Upon hearing this, the young ruler of the Snow Kingdom immediately responded with a gentle smile.

"From now on, I will have to trouble General Takiya to protect this land together."

"Wind, flowers, and light snow" responded gently.

The ability to acquire a large, loyal, and trustworthy army was a key reason why the Snow Kingdom ultimately agreed to allow the Demon Hidden Village to establish a presence there.

After all, during those ten years of internal strife, many insightful people of the Land of Snow were killed by the rebels, and the country's strength also fell into a huge decline and a period of stagnation after the downfall of Fuuka Nutō and his Snow Ninja.

It is certainly a very fortunate thing that we now have a well-trained force that can serve as a defensive bulwark for the country.

"Yes, it is my duty."

Princess Takiyasha answered with resounding words, perfectly embodying the spirit of a woman born into a military family.

Moreover, he showed no arrogance whatsoever throughout the entire process, nor did he rely on his own strength to make any demands; he simply adhered to the established rules of this place.

After receiving the unexpected voluntary oath, Fuuka Koyuki looked at Ara again.

After all, the latter was the reason why she made the decision so quickly and argued with her ministers.

"Of course, I will never betray the friendship with the Feng Hua lineage."

Noticing the gaze of the Snow Country's ruler, Ara carefully considered his words before speaking earnestly.

"Eh, is it just friendship?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue immediately repeated it, her slightly rising voice carrying a different meaning, and a hint of disappointment seemed to appear on her face.

However, she did not dwell on the wording and immediately stood up as if to leave.

After all, as the ruler of a country, she is naturally very busy.

Furthermore, the new forces that have now been incorporated entered the Land of Snow in a way that was done first and reported later, so there are many things that need to be dealt with.

The purpose of this visit is simply to deliver this good news.

"So, when do you plan to leave?"

As she stood up, Xiaoxue asked, and Yu Zhi's expression had returned to normal.

"I'll be leaving soon,"

"Something seems to have happened in the Land of Hot Springs; I need to go back and deal with it."

Huang replied calmly.

"Well then, see you next time."

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in Feng Hua Xiaoxue's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and nodded slightly before walking out of the house.

Upon seeing his lord's actions, Asami Santayu, who was standing to the side, bowed slightly to the two guests as a sign of respect and followed them.

For a moment, only Ara and Takiyasha-hime remained in the relatively spacious room.

"You're leaving already?"

The brief silence was broken by Yao Ji, who looked at the Onmyoji who was standing nearby, her beautiful, star-like eyes filled with an indescribable complexity.

"Um,"

"You and your people can live here in peace. Although the Wind Flower Monarch can be a little willful at times, she is indeed a trustworthy companion."

Huang seemed to have sensed the woman's worries and tried his best to dispel them.

After all, whatever the reason, this relocation was a complicated journey for all the residents of Sunwheel City and for her as well.

“I know, and I can also feel that the Wind Flower Monarch is very friendly and trusts you very much.”

"I believe that under her care, my people will soon be able to adapt to life here."

"Of course, we will also protect this place as if it were our homeland."

Takiyasha-hime spoke earnestly.

However, the slightly faster pace of his speech seemed to be masking some emotion.

"Then I won't take up any more of your time."

"Thank you again for rescuing Sunwheel City. Please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it in the future."

"I will do my best."

As she spoke, Takiyasha-hime also stood up from her seat and addressed the young Onmyoji in front of her with respectful manners.

Such words and actions made Huang feel somewhat embarrassed, after all, he had chosen to go to Sunwheel City in order to obtain the [Cloud Mirror], which was originally a rescue mission with a very specific purpose.
