Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Then he felt a pain in his back, and when he came to his senses again, the world was spinning, and he fell to the ground once more.

He stared blankly at Hu Tao, as if he had been shocked.

How did you do that?

"It's just a little bit of martial arts." Hu Tao said casually.

Yi Dou clasped his hands together above his head and shouted, "Boss! Teach me!"

"???"

"What did you call me?"

"Boss!"

Hu Tao picked at her ear, a little confused.

Isn't the point of fighting over who is the true leader of Jiang Bai?

Why did she suddenly have a younger brother?

"If the boss calls her 'boss,' then what do we call the boss?" Yuan Tai scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Are you stupid?! The boss calls himself the boss's boss, and we call him our own boss, everyone just calls him that..."

"That's true."

The old woman looked at it for a while, her expression showing some nostalgia.

Back when I was little, I was like that too. Because people called her "Ghost Granny," she often got into fights and ended up covered in dirt.

No one taught him how to fight; he relied entirely on instinct. At first, he often lost, but gradually, he learned how others fought and won more often.

After that, I rarely got my clothes dirty anymore.

He actually has a strong learning ability, but no one has ever taught him.

“Teaching you isn’t out of the question, but I’ll only be staying in Inazuma for a month or two. Do you have the time?”

Hu Tao found this Araki Ichito quite interesting. No wonder Jiang Bai called him "boss"—he suited her taste!

"The one thing I have plenty of is time!"

Chapter 513 Was he being targeted? [Requesting monthly votes]

"A-Shou, go back and tell A-Shinobu that I'm going to study martial arts with my new and old masters. I'll be leaving the Ara-Taki Sect to her for the time being!"

"Huh?" The underlings were completely caught off guard by Yidou's new idea.

But they were still very obedient, so A-Shou immediately put down what he was doing and went back to find Hisaki Shinobu.

Ichidou fawned over Hu Tao, "Come, come, let me introduce you. These are my little brothers, Genta and Akira. Akira is the one who just ran away."

Jiang Bai suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Good heavens! With such attentiveness, isn't his position as the number one underling in jeopardy?

"Master, are you thirsty? Come, have some water. Are you hungry? Have some snacks too..."

Jiang Bai handed the water bottle to Hu Tao to drink, then gave Yi Dou a provocative look.

Yi Dou didn't receive his signal and didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Eldest brother, Ah Bai, let me introduce you. This is my mother-in-law who raised me."

Yi Dou led the two to Granny Gui, who looked at them with a smile.

"Hello, Mother-in-law!"

The two greeted each other in unison, showing great respect for the elderly.

However, having defeated Yidou twice, Hu Tao felt somewhat guilty in front of this parent.

Fortunately, the old man was very open-minded and did not hold a grudge about being beaten.

For her, this was a matter of will, and she would not interfere.

"You're all good kids, come in and sit down."

The old woman invited the group into the house.

The house had just been cleaned and tidied up; it was very neat and clean, and there was a basket of fruit and snacks that had been brought over on the table.

One of them handed each person a Sunset Fruit and asked curiously, "How did you end up in Konta Village? Were you just passing through?"

"No, we're here to find someone."

Ichito crunched the lollipop in his mouth twice, "Who am I looking for! I'm not bragging, but there's no one in Konta Village I don't know."

"A masked witch."

"Huh?" Yi Dou felt like he had been slapped in the face a lot more than usual today, and his boss's image was in jeopardy.

He looked at the old woman with a puzzled expression, "Are there witches in the village? Or are they masked?"

The old woman shook her head.

She had always lived in Konta Village, but she had never heard of any child becoming a shrine maiden.

Moreover, the selection of shrine maidens is very strict. Most of the shrine maidens at Narukami Shrine come from families of shrine maidens, and very few are selected from outside.

“She shouldn’t be from Konta Village, she’s just someone living in the village…” Jiang Bai had to add another explanation.

"That's easy. I'll have Yuan Tai and the others go find someone."

At Yi Dou's command, his two underlings eagerly went to find the person who matched Jiang Bai's description.

"Ah Bai, what do you want with that witch?"

"That priestess entrusted us with a task, but we can't find her..."

While eating fruit and chatting, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao comfortably enjoyed the busy work of their underlings.

I have to say, having a lackey is great; it's so comfortable not having to run errands yourself.

Before long, Yuan Tai and A Huang found the person Jiang Bai was looking for.

"Found her! The witch is next to the dry well on the west side of the village!" Chubby Ah Huang ran over, panting.

"Yuanta and Ahuang, you guys continue helping Grandma weed. I'll go check with the eldest brother!" Ichidou stood up and naturally joined in the effort.

"Good boss!"

The two leaders each shouted their own slogans, which was a bit strange, but the parties involved accepted it very well.

"Go on, go on, remember to come back for dinner."

Yi Dou waved his hand and led the two to the dry well on the west side of the village.

Upon seeing Jiang Bai and the others arrive, Hua Sanli spoke softly, "You've come."

Upon seeing her, Jiang Bai immediately voiced all the complaints he had been holding back:

"Hey, don't just disappear like that! You don't even finish your sentence, you just vanish in a flash. It's really bothering me..."

"I'm sorry." Hana Sanri bowed slightly in apology, without offering much explanation.

Ichidou looked at the masked shrine maiden with curiosity. This shrine maiden was quite different from the ones he usually saw, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"Is the barrier you mentioned right here?" Jiang Bai looked at the well next to Hua Sanli.

The well looked quite ordinary, except that it was covered by a large rock, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Yes. One of the five tree roots that protect Narukami Island is located at the bottom of this well."

"You want to get down, right? I'll do it!"

Yi Dou stretched his arms and easily moved the large stone covering the well opening.

"Not bad strength!" Hu Tao complimented.

"I don't have any other special skills, but I'm very strong!" Ichidou proudly showed off his muscles.

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes. It's just moving a stone; what's so great about that...?

"I'll be waiting for you all down below." With that, Hana Sanri disappeared again.

"She's really elusive..." Jiang Bai still couldn't figure out how she disappeared.

"Never mind her, let's go down and take a look."

Hu Tao was the first to jump down.

"Hall Master, be careful!"

Jiang Bai quickly jumped down to prevent Hu Tao from being in danger.

Below the well is a fairly large space, containing some mechanisms and even boxes that have been there for who knows how long.

"There's actually such a large space inside this well."

Looking at this space, Yi Dou found it very novel.

He grew up in Konta Village, but had never been here before.

"It's obviously man-made."

Without a doubt, this space at the bottom of the well was created by the fox spirit who set up the protective barrier around Narukami Island.

After unraveling the mechanisms and reaching the lowest level, a huge cave came into view.

However, the cave was blocked by a layer of lightning.

Through the lightning-filled curtain, Jiang Bai saw the red torii gate symbolizing the territory of the gods, as well as the enormous tree roots.

Without a doubt, this is the location of the formation that Hana Sanli mentioned.

How do we get in?

Ichidou curiously reached out and touched the lightning barrier. In an instant, his hair stood on end from the electric shock.

Her hair, with each strand clearly separated, looked just like a hedgehog's quills.

"Hahahaha, the Hedgehog of the Wilderness, Ichidou!" Jiang Bai laughed out loud without any restraint as he looked at the Hedgehog of the Wilderness.

I must say, this hedgehog design actually suits Yi Dou quite well.

"Hmph! How dare you laugh at your boss! You come at me too!"

Yi Dou grabbed Jiang Bai's hand and pressed it onto the lightning, intending for Jiang Bai to try it as well, but Jiang Bai's hand passed right through it!

Jiang Bai slipped behind the light screen like an eel, making a face at Yi Dou, "Hehehe! You can't get in!"

How did you get in?

Yi Dou thought the light screen might be broken, and, not believing it, tried to imitate Jiang Bai's movements to crawl inside. As a result, because the contact area with the lightning light screen was too large, he was directly shocked and danced a tap dance.

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Bai laughed until his stomach hurt.

"belch--"

A puff of white smoke billowed out from the bucket, swirling erratically in the wind.

Was he being targeted?

Chapter 514 Ah Bai, you've changed.

Watching this scene, Hu Tao felt like she had brought two childish kids with her.

Unfortunately, these two childish kids are both tall and strong.

She sighed, feeling that she was really exhausted.

"Alright, stop fooling around." As soon as the real boss spoke, Jiang Bai immediately quieted down.

"Come quickly and lead us inside!"

Hu Tao could easily guess how Jiang Bai got in; he simply coated himself with a layer of lightning element.

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Bai ran out with a grin, "Give me your hand, Hall Master."

Hu Tao reached out her hand, and Jiang Bai openly took it, leading her through the lightning barrier.
