Chapter 43 The Ritual (1)(2/3)

"I always feel that I am becoming more and more masculine. If my aunt were twenty years younger, she might be chasing after me."

As a mother, Miyoko started teasing her without fear of death in front of Ruri.

As for the lively atmosphere, Shiraishi was worried that Liuli would throw the cup out immediately and make his mother's head explode.

But this didn't happen, because Liuli just drank tea calmly, and seemed to be used to her mother's off-line behavior.

"But Auntie is now old and beautiful, and can no longer attract the attention of young people."

Miyoko, who always wears gorgeous clothes at all times and looks like she is in her twenties, is the person least qualified to say such a thing in Shiraishi's opinion.

"No, Auntie looks very young now, like a teenage girl."

Ayane laughed from the side.

"Ayane-chan still talks so sweetly. It would be great if Xiao Liuli could do the same. Right, Xiao Liuli?"

Miyoko covered her mouth and chuckled. Although she knew that Ayane was talking politely, she still felt happy after being called a teenage girl. She then hinted at Liuli with her eyes, as if she hoped that she would also say something to make people laugh.

Happy words of praise come.

"Middle-aged women shouldn't imitate little girls and pretend to be young. Your crow's feet will appear when you smile."

Ruri put down her teacup and said these words that made the corners of Miyoko's mouth twitch.

"Sure enough, boys are more fun. So, Xiao Baishi, I'll leave it to you tonight."

Miyoko smiled and hinted with her eyes.

What are you asking for? I was the one down there at night. Shiraishi complained in his mind.

And it’s not something that children can play with.

"By the way, how come Auntie and Ayane are here together?"

Shiraishi asked about this topic.

"We are discussing what we should prepare for the festival in the near future."

Ayane answered.

For lively activities like festivals, women always put a lot of enthusiasm into it.

"Is that so? Then you can chat slowly and don't pay attention to me. I'll go up and take a rest first."

Shiraishi is not very interested in topics between women, and who knows what trouble these people are causing. He is exhausted now and just wants to have a good rest.

Leaving the three women to discuss the festival in the living room, Shiraishi returned to the room alone and fell asleep.

Although ninjas do have more energy than ordinary people, after so many days of high-intensity work, no matter how energetic they are, they will feel mentally exhausted.

I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I suddenly felt a little thirsty in my mouth and my nose felt a little blocked.

It was already bright outside, and it was obviously the next morning.

The wind is blowing loudly, and although just hearing the sound can make you feel cold, it gives you a New Year atmosphere.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Liuli, who was sleeping next to her, opened her eyes and seemed to realize that something was wrong with Shiraishi's situation.

"Yes, I seem to have a cold."

Shiraishi covered the pain and said helplessly.

"They say you should pay more attention to your health when you go out alone. Fortunately, you are a medical ninja."

Liuli sat up from the bed, then got out of bed, went outside to pour a cup of hot water, and looked for cold medicine, and put them on Shiraishi's bedside table.

"Sorry for causing you trouble."

Shiraishi picked up the medicine and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of hot water.

"Are you going to work today?"

"No, I want to have a good rest at home. It's okay if my work over there is delayed for a day or two."

"Really, I originally planned to let you go shopping with us today."

Liuli seemed to have a headache.

"It's not the New Year's Eve festival anyway. I will take care of myself these days. Just have fun."

Shiraishi felt a little dizzy. If he had known this, he would have prepared more things when he went out on patrol instead of traveling lightly.

After taking the cold medicine, Shiraishi continued to lie down, not wanting to move.

When Liuli saw Baishi like this, she felt that it was really inappropriate for him to go out at this time. Besides, he was also very busy with his usual work, and it was extremely hard at night at home, so she might as well give him a few days off.

After getting dressed, Liuli briefly washed herself and went out.

There are shadow dancers there, so don't worry that no one will take care of you in Shiraishi.

When they arrived outside, their mother Miyoko and their rival Ayane were already waiting there.

"Strange, why didn't Mr. Baishi come out?"

Ayane tilted her head, feeling confused.

"I have a cold. I have to recuperate at home today."

Liuli answered.

"That's really bad. Indeed, Shiraishi-kun's physical condition has declined a bit compared to before."

Ayane touched her chin and commented in a very professional tone.

"Maybe it's because I lost too much money at night. Although I'm not married yet, I'm like a newlywed couple who fell in love and couldn't extricate themselves. But Xiao Liuli also needs to control this aspect. But it's the same as my mother at that time,

Dad also worked very hard to give birth to little Liuli."

Miyoko said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Is this what a mother should say?"

Liuli was a little embarrassed.

The matter of Shiraishi catching a cold was related to her unrestrained demands.

No, hers is just a very normal physiological need for human beings to survive in this world, and she just wants a little more than normal people in that regard.

"Don't talk about such meaningless topics. I only agreed to come out to relax after pushing away my practice time."

Liuli took a deep breath and ended the topic.

"Yes, Xiao Liuli is very cute. Let's stop here. After all, the festival in the Kingdom of Ghosts is still very lively, so you have to prepare well."

"Aunt Miyoko has lived here for many years and must have participated in many festivals. How does it compare with Konoha?"

Ayane asked curiously.

"Konoha? After all, I rarely go back to Konoha during the Chinese New Year. In recent years, I only go back occasionally to visit, or through secret channels... How can I put it, each has its own merits. However, here in the Kingdom of Demons, the region

The characteristics of the customs and culture are more prominent.”

Miyoko has lived in the Kingdom of Demons for many years and knows most of the things here.

It has customs and culture that are different from those of Konoha and Fire Country, which makes people from all over the world feel very novel.

If I have to say it, it is the gap of faith.

As far as Miyoko knows, the Country of Fire believes in monks, that is, beings with 'Buddha' qualities like the Fire Temple. Unlike the Country of Fire, the Konoha Ninja Village believes in the Will of Fire, but the time when the Will of Fire was born

It is too short. In terms of the cohesion of faith and culture, it cannot be compared with the witch culture of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Afterwards, the three of them wandered around the commercial street of Ziyuan City.

Because their identities are too sensitive, Ruri and Ayane wore clothes without family emblems, and their faces were covered with masks.

There are more and more people from abroad in the Kingdom of Ghosts, which is the result of Shiraishi's good leadership, but one must also be careful to avoid exposing one's identity.

After all, Ruri and Ayane, who are S-class rebellious ninjas, are also famous figures in the ninja world.

Originally from the White Fang team, their names have already caught the attention of senior officials in various countries, and they seem familiar. Their defection has further expanded their fame. Although this kind of fame has many negative effects.

As for Shiraishi, a mediocre ninja, because Konoha has not given any decent information, the village's understanding of Shiraishi is still at the level of a medical ninja, who has no threat at all. From this perspective,

It cannot be said that it is completely wrong.

Apart from the combat abilities of several clones, his own level is only that of an elite jounin.

"Although Xiao Baishi doesn't know how to do business, he sometimes has his own unique insights on how to develop business. In just a few months, this commercial street was full of vitality."

Miyoko pointed to the various shops with brands in the commercial street. Whether they were goods or shops, most of them were well-decorated and looked like luxury goods. But in fact, the prices were very affordable, which smoothed the commercial vitality of the Ghost Country.

"Didn't you and dad do this?"

Liuli asked doubtfully.

"No, the detailed development was indeed done by us, but the grand strategy was provided by Koshiraishi." Miyoko showed an admiring look and smiled: "He said very bluntly at the time that wealth is concentrated among the rich.

In this case, civilians will lose the opportunity to climb up, and the goods in the store will be monopolized by the rich, which will lead to a downturn in the entire market. They will hold on to dead money, which will eventually lead to the decline of the country's power."

Although Liuli and Ayane do not understand business issues very well, judging from the current situation of the commercial street, even some civilians have started business with the help of loans provided by the Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce, and the business is still very popular, then
