After pondering for a moment, Feng Hua Qingxue seemed to have thought of something. A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked Xingliu:

"I wonder if Mr. Xingliu has any free time right now? I have a task for you, and I wonder if you would be interested in participating?"

Xingliu didn't answer immediately, but frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"I don't know what kind of mission it is. Could you please explain the specifics first?"

Feng Hua Qingxue wasn't disappointed that Xingliu didn't agree immediately.

The conversation had given him a better understanding of Xingliu, and he knew that Xingliu wouldn't easily make promises. Therefore, he explained the ins and outs of the mission in more detail:

"That's right. Recently, for some reason, many wandering ninjas have come to our area and cut off our import and export trade routes."

"Our country lacks a ninja village to support us, so we cannot handle this situation on our own. Hoshiryu-kun, can you help us solve this problem?"

Xingliu already had a certain fondness for Feng Hua Qingxue because of what he had seen in the Snow Country, and now seeing how polite and sincere he was, his goodwill towards him increased even more.

He smiled and said to Feng Hua Qingxue:

"Your Excellency is too kind. Rest assured, we will do our best to help you resolve this issue."

Upon hearing Xingliu's promise, Feng Hua Qingxue's face lit up with a joyful smile.

He said happily, "That's wonderful! With the help of the new god of the ninja world, I believe our Land of Snow will soon be able to return to peace."

The title of "New God of the Ninja World" caused Tsunade and the other two girls to look at Xingliu in astonishment.

They had been living in Konoha and hadn't paid much attention to what was happening in the ninja world, so they really didn't know what the title of Starflow was.

Chapter 142 Banquet

Xingliu thought the title "New God of the Ninja World" was a bit too exaggerated, and even carried a bit of a chuunibyou vibe, so he never mentioned it to them.

So when this secret was suddenly revealed, even a composed person like Xingliu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It was as if a fire was burning on his face, making him flustered and confused.

Xingliu looked rather awkward; it was just the wrong occasion, otherwise the girls would have already started teasing him.

Feng Hua Qingxue looked at the scene in front of her, somewhat bewildered.

Although he didn't fully understand the ins and outs of the matter, he keenly sensed Xingliu's embarrassment.

So, to ease the tension, he cleverly changed the subject:

“I am very pleased that you have accepted my commission.”

"Then, please allow me to prepare some dishes to treat you as a token of my gratitude, shall I?"

Upon hearing this, Xingliu nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I will gladly accept your invitation. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Excellency."

Seeing him so readily back down, the women covered their mouths and chuckled.

Feng Hua Qingxue nodded, then turned to the attendant beside her and gave the order:

"Prepare some of our Snow Country's specialties; I want to treat these distinguished guests who have come from afar to a good meal."

Upon hearing the words "specialty dishes," Xingliu's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly recalled some not-so-pleasant memories.

The climate of the Snow Country is similar to that of the North Pole of Earth, cold and frigid.

This made him worry that the local specialties might resemble those unpalatable foods.

As Xingliu pondered, dishes like "pickled auk" came to mind that were too tempting to eat.

If Feng Hua Qingxue were to actually serve such dishes in this situation, Xingliu really wouldn't know how to react.

However, once the words have been spoken, it would be unwise to go back on them now.

With mixed feelings, Xingliu followed the others into the restaurant.

When the delicious dishes were presented to him, Xingliu felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.

The food looked perfectly normal, without the "unique" smell he had been worried about.

Although he didn't say it aloud, the weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.

"Please help yourselves, everyone. These are the pride of our Snow Kingdom."

With a smile, Feng Hua Qingxue gracefully invited Xingliu and the others to taste the delicacies on the table.

Upon hearing this, Xingliu picked up the delicate chopsticks and her gaze first fell on the fish in front of her.

The fish meat has an enticing milky white color, and the surface is lightly roasted to a golden brown, emitting a faint aroma.

He gently picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and immediately felt the fresh and tender texture of the fish.

The special sauce blends perfectly with the fish, resulting in a rich yet refreshing flavor.

After tasting the fish, Xingliu tried several other dishes.

Each dish is unique, with its colors, aromas, and flavors all making a striking impression.

His taste buds seemed to experience a carnival under the stimulation of these delicacies.

Seeing how much Xingliu was enjoying his meal, Tsunade and the others couldn't resist trying the food as well.

They shared their feelings with each other and praised every dish.

While enjoying the food, Zhili politely expressed his gratitude to Feng Hua Qingxue: "Thank you for your kind hospitality, Your Excellency."

The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and harmonious, and everyone was immersed in this wonderful time.

Their purpose in coming out was to experience the different customs and cultures of various countries.

They were very satisfied with the banquet hosted by Feng Hua Qing Xue.

Seeing the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, Feng Hua Qingxue was also filled with joy.

He knew that if he could cultivate a good relationship with Xingliu, the country would have a powerful backer in the future.

He didn't care if they were just familiar strangers; it was just a meal, after all.

While Xingliu and the others were enjoying their meal, a petite figure was also dining alone.

However, in stark contrast to the delicious food that the daimyo had meticulously prepared, the girl's lunch was unusually simple, even somewhat pitiful.

Because of the harsh climate in this area, even wild vegetables are hard to find.

The wild rabbit she had painstakingly caught turned out burnt in some parts and raw in others, due to her lack of cooking skills.

However, these difficulties did not defeat her; she resolutely ate the food to maintain her strength.

During the meal, her eyes gradually welled up with tears, and her thoughts drifted back to the past.

In her quest to find the anomaly mentioned by the Great Toad Immortal, she has already traversed several worlds.

Her goal is to defeat the person who ruined her life with this man's help.

During her journey, she received help and care from many people.

Those warm smiles, encouraging words, and selfless dedication moved her deeply and filled her with gratitude.

However, every encounter was accompanied by parting and sacrifice. Those who helped her eventually left her and were cruelly killed by the pursuers behind her.

In fact, if that person hadn't been toying with her, she would have been killed long ago with her own strength.

This time was no different. Right after arriving in this world, she was accidentally discovered by the people of the Grass Village and used her chakra, which attracted that person.

The ensuing fierce battle between the two led to the destruction of Kusagakure.

The girl, dining alone, was filled with endless sorrow and regret.

However, she knew that in order to complete her mission, she had to keep going and find the person who could help her defeat her enemy.

Just as she was lost in thought, a sleazy voice suddenly broke the silence around her, coming from not far away.

"Hey, look over there, isn't there smoke rising up?" a gruff male voice asked.

"That's right, let's go see if they're from the Snow Kingdom caravan. We already told them to just give them the money, but they still insisted on sneaking over!"

Another voice responded, full of dissatisfaction.

These words brought her back to her senses instantly.

She immediately realized that these people were speaking in an unfriendly tone and were clearly targeting her.

She wasn't stupid; she immediately realized something was wrong and quickly started packing her things to leave.

However, she was still a step slow.

Just as she finished packing her things and was about to get up, several figures rapidly approached from a distance, blocking her way.

"Boss, they don't seem to be from the caravan."

One of the roaming ninjas said with some disappointment, clearly they were used to robbing caravans, but the situation before them was somewhat unexpected.

He had barely finished speaking when the boss he was talking about slapped him hard on the head with a loud "smack".

The leader glared at him and said irritably, "Do we only rob caravans? Kid, hand over all your valuables!"

Chapter 143 We Must Not Lose Our Courage (8)

Looking at the ninja in front of her, she was a bit dumbfounded.

She clenched her fists, struggling internally.

If she were to use her chakra, these ninja would be no match for her and would be defeated in an instant.

However, doing so would inevitably attract pursuers, putting her in an even more dangerous situation.

This is what happened back in the Grass Village. When the Grass Ninja saw her, they wanted to take her back to the village.

She was eventually forced to use her chakra, and only managed to escape after sustaining injuries.

Her world-traveling treasure hasn't fully cooled down yet, and she's also injured, so it's really not suitable for her to use chakra again.

She looked around, trying to find a chance to escape.

However, the group of thugs surrounded her, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Her heart sank; she knew she didn't really have a choice.

"Boss, she's just a little girl, probably not worth anything. Let's just let her go."

Just as she was about to make a desperate gamble and use her chakra to fight the group of rogue ninja to the death, one of the rogue ninjas who had been beaten earlier suddenly spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of hesitation and reluctance:

"Boss, she's just a little girl, probably not worth anything. Let's just let her go."
