I don't believe in the will of fire

On both sides of the river, telephone poles stand tall.

Speaking of which, this world is really strange. It seems to be a very backward ancient time, but there are already such black technologies as electricity and light bulbs. At night, various lights illuminate the entire Muishui City very brightly.

On every small river beach building complex, there is a small night market, with all kinds of restaurant snacks, clothes, hats, tents, bonsai flowers, pastries and preserves.

"Look at this, Lord Shenyue, this mask is so cute."

Mai stood in front of a clothing stall, holding a white fox mask in her hand, wearing it on her face, and said coquettishly to Shenyue.

The shop owner also praised enthusiastically: "My little sister is really beautiful. Brother, please buy one."

"Well, Mai, you can take your pick."

"Yeah, this is for me, this is for Lord Shenyue."

After Mai finished shopping, she was as happy as a little bird, pulling Shenyue and walking towards the next house.

This is the first time Shenyue has seen Mai looking so happy and relaxed. Perhaps it is due to previous experiences and the existence of two little brothers and sisters, Yahiko and Konan. Mai was more like a big sister when she was in Uzumaki Village.

She took care of everyone equally, subconsciously making everyone ignore her age. In fact, she was only thirteen years old and just a child.

This kind of maturity is not what Shenyue wants to see.

Because this is suppressing her nature.

If it was because she felt insecure in the past, Shenyue was already by her side to protect her and would never leave her.

He also hopes that Mai can show her own nature and live her own life independently and happily like an ordinary little girl.

This does not conflict with Mai's love and dependence on him.

"This time seems to be a good opportunity too!"

In this way, under the guidance of the boatman, they visited one place after another. Their bellies were full and they also took a lot of things in their hands, including clothes, toys and various snacks, filling the boat full.

"This is for Konan, this is for Yahiko, Naoki, and this is for the children in the village."

Looking there, like an ordinary little girl, counting the linen she had harvested in a day, Shenyue saw this and asked.

"do you happy today?"

"Um."

Mai nodded without hesitation, then her cheeks turned red as if she thought of something.

"Then continue to be so happy. I will always be by your side and will never leave you again."

Mai didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously, but the tears were vaguely visible in her eyes.

"Okay, I promised to be happy all the time."

Shenyue reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"We're going back."

But at this moment, in his perception, ten weak chakras began to move quickly throughout the city.

It didn't take long before I saw a dozen figures appearing on the river in the dark night and in the darkness without lights.

Behind them, there were dozens of guards dressed as warriors, driving small boats, lighting torches, and pursuing them quickly.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, don't let them run away!"

The river suddenly became noisy. Because it was separated by several rivers, it was not affected at all, but judging from the expressions of the people around it, it seemed that they all knew about this group of people.

Although it is very cold-blooded, judging from the prosperity of this city, everyone has acquiesced in the existence of these darkness and enjoyed it.

"It's none of your business, so why bother?"

"I understand, thank you very much for today."
