The journey of a heroine starting from the Dragon Clan

The sun is warm but not dazzling, and the surroundings are quiet. Occasionally, a breeze blows through the forest, causing the forest sea to rustle.

Unknown birds on the trees paced leisurely on the branches, energetic insects in the grass chirped tirelessly, and sunlight poured down from the gaps in the shade of the trees, projecting bright and bright patterns of different sizes on the ground. light spot.

In this deep mountain far away from the city, the afternoon seems particularly long.

Lying lazily on the tree trunk with her hands behind her head, Mai Shutoku narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

A month ago, she graduated from the Fuma family's ninja class with an outstanding score that was almost twice as good as the second-place finisher. In the past history, her graduation score could even rank among the top three.

If she had followed her plan a few years ago, she would have planned a death escape from the Snake Qihachi family after graduation. For this reason, she had even registered an ID on the hunter website to prepare for herself. Way back.

But now...

Turning her head, Mai Shutoku glanced towards the courtyard below.

In the empty courtyard, a petite girl was practicing boring chopping with a wooden sword.

The girl was wearing training clothes, with her long hair tied into a ponytail on her back, and a white bandage on her forehead. Large drops of sweat fell from the girl's forehead, and the ground below was soaked with sweat.

...Frankly speaking, Mai Shutoku couldn't understand the other party.

As the future head of the Uesugi family, the other party has innate power that ordinary people cannot reach. Coupled with the two younger brothers who are very capable of fighting and an even more capable father, to be honest, she simply cannot find that the other party is so desperate. Reasons for training.

"If you count carefully... it seems like it should be nine years, right?"

As if something suddenly occurred to her, Mai Shutoku looked at the girl strangely.

For nine years, the other person's body showed no tendency to develop and grow. What it was like nine years ago will still be the same nine years later... It was as if time had stopped on the other person's body.

In the past, when she was a child, she still had to look up at the other person, but now, with her proud long legs, she can already look down at the other person.

Although it is said that because of this incident, the Sheqi family conducted many physical examinations on the other party, nothing was found. And the other party seemed to be aware of this, so in the past nine years, the other party has lived in seclusion and never left the house. He spent most of his time practicing in the mountains.

It is precisely because the other party rarely appears in front of others that within the Sheqi Hachi family, the eldest lady in the Uesugi family has almost evolved into an urban legend...or it has already become an urban legend.

The people he followed became living urban legends, and they, as retainers, were naturally not much better. Fortunately, the eldest lady had an extremely gentle personality. Although she occasionally acted out of line, she felt extremely comfortable getting along with her, and We also respect their wishes.

Otherwise, she would have simply run away, and she would have followed him honestly...

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in her heart. After glancing at the girl on the other side of the courtyard, Mai Shutoku's figure quickly disappeared among the trees.

When her figure reappeared the next moment, she had already arrived beside the girl, and reached out her hand to support her in time.

"Sure enough, I fainted again... Is it necessary to push myself to the limit every time?"

After looking at the girl who had fallen asleep in her arms, and sighing helplessly, Mai Shutoku skillfully carried the girl and walked indoors.

Since three years ago, almost every other week, the other party will have such an extreme training that is almost self-inflicted. If the training in the ninja class is harsh, then the other party's extreme breakthrough training is simply To drive people to a dead end...

——She seriously doubted that the other party's growth was related to this kind of special training.

……………………………………………

Mu Qingzhi woke up from her deep sleep with a soft feeling of warmth.

"Ah...the familiar ceiling..."

Looking at the ceiling above her head, Mu Qingzhi sighed as she lay on a large soft bed, changed clothes and took a shower.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed by in a hurry. When I recall the scene of saying goodbye to Khorkina and the others in front of the Peninsula Hotel, it seems like it was still yesterday.

So much has happened and so much has changed in nine years.

Uesugoshi may not be a competent leader, but he is definitely a competent father. He treats her and the two brothers Genchi equally... and even favors her more.

She was abandoned since she was a child in her previous life, but in this life she rarely has a warm family. It has to be said that it was fate.

"As for today...it seems like Zhisheng and the others said they would come over?"

As if something suddenly occurred to her, Mu Qingzhi subconsciously sat up from the bed...and then her eyes suddenly went dark.

"After that kind of extreme breakthrough training, Miss, what you need is enough rest for your body to recover."

With a straight face, he put her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt. After hearing the sound, Mai Shutoku, who came over with an apron tied around her waist, looked expressionless.

"I will arrange the reception, so you don't have to worry, young lady."

"oh……"

Lying on the bed obediently, Mu Qingzhi answered weakly.

Based on her relationship with Shutoku Mai and the others over the years, the affix "eldest lady" is generally not used. If it is used... it means that the other party is really angry now.

——Mai Shutoku became angry, which was terrible.

This house located deep in the mountains was originally an asset belonging to the Inuyama family, but it was given to her as a birthday gift by Inuyama He, which can be said to be quite generous.

There is an open-air hot spring on the left side of the backyard. At the same time, the environment is quiet enough, because it is not far from the special training point of the Fuma family's ninja class, so during these nine years, Mai Shutoku can be said to have been with him. The person who has been around the longest, she naturally understands the other person's character quite well.

"Lie still and I'll bring you porridge later."

Seeing her expressing her stance like this, the expression on Shutoku Mai's face also softened.

"If you want to get up and move around, at least wait until tomorrow. Do you understand?"

"Um...ok."

Looking at the screen that quietly appeared in front of her, Mu Qingzhi nodded.

"Also, I'd like to have two more Cokes."

Looking at Jiude Mai standing in front of the bed, Mu Qingzhi looked serious.

"Remember to add more ice."

Mai Shutoku: "......"
