Elevator Dimension Line

That night.

Hoshimi Miya lay in Tantai Ye's arms, her small hands drawing circles on the back of his large hand in front of her chest, her long, flowing hair spread out on the pillow beside her.

She tilted her head slightly and said, "I noticed that the woman named Zhu Juan treats you differently."

"Hmm? How come it's different?" Tantai Ye's large hand slowly caressed the softness as he answered with his eyes closed.

"Are you playing dumb? The way she's looking at you is suspicious."

"Many women have given me the wrong look."

"I'm a Fox Spirit, my senses in this area are much stronger than most... I didn't expect this! In less than two days, you've already... Hmph!"

Hoshimi Miyabi slapped his hand hard, causing a white wave to rise from her own hand...

"Oh dear! Is our Ya'er jealous? This is the first time I've ever seen this. It seems your self-control in cultivation is not very good!" Tantai Ye chuckled.

"I'm not jealous. You can have as many wives as you want. I already thought about this when I chose to be with you. But you need to know what's important. You're here to help me with my mission, not to increase your number of wives... Oh well!"

Before Tantai Ye could speak, Hoshimi Miyabi changed the subject.

"You'd better not help me. I took on this mission myself; let me complete it on my own!"

"Complete it yourself! Without any external help? The king of the world! It's not just Japan right in front of you. Are you sure you can do it yourself?" Tantai Ye opened his eyes and looked at her with a mocking gaze.

Hoshimi paused for a moment.

Just think, if I really had to rely on myself, it would be a long and arduous task, possibly taking more than ten years, or even several decades, in this world...

"Hmm~~~ I can still get help from my sisters at home!" Hoshimi Miya said shyly.

"Hahaha!"

Tantai Ye burst into laughter, grabbed her arm, and pulled her close to him.

Looking at the 'little fox' nestled against her chest, Tantai Ye was about to kiss its bright red lips.

Hoshimi Miyabi's fox ears, which had been hidden on the top of her head, suddenly appeared and twitched slightly.

"They're here again!" The tone was sarcastic.

"We can't let them squat on our roof and listen today."

As soon as the words fell, two dark figures dressed in ninja outfits suddenly flew up from the rooftop outside, like golf balls being hit hard, and flew far away from the village with cries of surprise.

At the same time, a calm voice came to their ears.

"Stop spying on us. It's very impolite. Go back and tell the people who assigned you that if this happens again, I will hold them accountable."

Two dark figures landed far outside the village. Although they were dazed and confused from the fall, they were not seriously injured.

In the darkness, they could see the fear in each other's eyes. Then, supporting each other, they limped towards the village...

"Lord Yakushiji, we've been discovered..."

Inside a large house, two ninjas knelt on the eaves outside, whispering about what had just happened and relaying the warning to the other party.

"You've been exposed!"

A somber voice came from inside the room.

"No, we just got there and got blown away," one of the ninjas said.

"What knocked it away?" a gloomy voice asked.

"No, I don't know, we didn't find it... Should we go again?" the ninja said.

After a brief silence,

"Forget it, don't bother them. You can all leave now!"

"Yes!"

The two ninjas left somewhat awkwardly.

……

The next day,

After waking up early and finishing her morning exercise, Hoshimi Miya and Tantai Ye took a leisurely stroll around the village. Then, at the suggestion of Zhu Juan, who was following them, they walked around the surrounding area.

After all, the village is just a place where people live, and there's not much to see. You can just experience the local customs and culture. If you want to see better scenery, you have to go to the surrounding areas.

As the three of them were talking, they reached the village entrance and ran into Hotaru and Yashamaru walking by.

"Firefly, Yashamaru, what's going on with you two?" Zhu Juan asked curiously as she looked at the two people who walked up to her.

“Yashamaru doesn’t want to lie down all the time, so I’ll accompany him to walk around the village for a bit,” Hotaru said.

Yashamaru was looking at Tantai Ye with a calm expression, but his eyes still held a hint of resentment.

He was young and hot-blooded; he was almost beaten to death, but he still looked defiant.

Tantai Ye wouldn't argue with a young boy. He smiled and said, "Although your injuries have healed, you still need to rest in bed. If you don't recover your energy properly, it will affect your future strength."

Tantai Ye's words made Yinghuo nervously look at Yashamaru.

Yashamaru just shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir!"

"Yashamaru! You mustn't be rude to Lord Tantai. He saved you." Zhu Juan frowned and whispered from the side.

Firefly also went up to him and pulled him back, trying to get him to behave.

"As expected of someone young and impetuous!" Tantai Ye chuckled and said nothing more.

Under Zhu Juan's sharp wink, Yashamaru finally bowed slightly.

"Yashamaru thanks you for your help, sir!"

"No need, I'm only doing this because of your leader."

After saying that, Tantai Ye turned around and walked out. There was no need to say anything more to a little kid.

Zhu Juan glared fiercely at Yashamaru before quickly following Hoshimi Miya out.

"Why is Zhu Juan so polite to that guy!"

Yashamaru watched the departing figures of the group and said hatefully.

Firefly stepped forward and looked at the departing figure, saying softly, "Zhu Juan was protecting you. You shouldn't have acted that way. Angering them won't do us any good."

"Hotaru, what's wrong with you..." Yashamaru looked at Hotaru with some confusion.

“Don’t overthink it. You should know that their methods are strange. They can injure you and save you at the same time. Regarding their medical skills, the leader once told us in private that we should try not to offend them. Moreover, they have royal status, and…” Firefly hesitated for a moment.

"And what?" Yashamaru asked curiously, looking at Hotaru's conflicted expression.

Firefly hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Moreover, Zhu Juan told me that the person named Tantai Ye is extremely powerful, even more powerful than we can currently imagine."

"What does this mean?" Yashamaru asked.

"He helped Zhu Juan improve her ninjutsu!"

"An improved ninjutsu!" Yashamaru exclaimed in surprise.

You should know that people who can improve ninjutsu are not ordinary people; they are people who are particularly skilled in ninjutsu, and can even be called masters.

They've existed in the Iga clan for so many years, yet only a handful of them have been able to invent and improve ninjutsu.

At this moment, Firefly continued, "Actually, it's not so much an improvement as an invention. After witnessing Zhu Juan's ninjutsu, that lord directly invented a new ninjutsu called Cloud Mist Technique in response to her Blood Mist Technique. I discovered it when I stumbled upon Zhu Juan practicing it."

"The art of mist and clouds!"

As Yashamaru chewed on the name, he looked in the direction where the three had disappeared.
