Konoha's Strongest Empress

Chapter 66 66. Princess of the Snow Country
After the pirate ship incident, the ship carrying Qiying quickly docked in the harbor of the Snow Country, and the two also rushed to the nearby villages of the Snow Country as expected.

Before acting, one must first understand the current situation in the Snow Country, so that it will be easier to start.

When it comes to the weather and environment here, Qi Ying has to sigh.

In this non-winter season, the nearby scene is covered with white snow. The snow on the ground has buried all the flowers and plants here, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. The temperature has also dropped below freezing. As long as you exhale lightly from your mouth, you can clearly see a cloud of white mist blowing out.

When I brought Xiaoxue here, I forgot to buy a set of clothes for Xiaoxue to resist the cold, so I could only put on the windbreaker on my body for Xiaoxue, and then use chakra to keep out the cold.

After seeing this familiar scene, Xiaoxue, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, showed a complicated look on her face and said nothing for a long time.

This is also a normal reaction. After all, anyone who encounters something like Xiaoxue will have such a reaction after returning to her hometown, let alone a little girl.

After passing through several villages along the way, Qi Ying found that many buildings in these villages had been covered by vast white snow, and there was no sign of people living at all.

Suspicious, Qiying continued to walk with Xiaoxue in the wind and snow, and after several twists and turns, she finally came to a village where people come and go.

It is a small village with less than ten households. From the clothes of these people, it can be seen that their lives are very poor, and the tops of the houses are covered with some weeds.

After seeing Qiying and Xiaoxue whose face was covered by a windbreaker, these villagers came forward curiously and asked, "Are you from another place?"

It was an old woman on crutches who came forward to talk to her.

"En." After Qiying nodded and replied, she looked at the situation of the village again.

How is it possible to live in this kind of house in this kind of weather...

"It's been a long time since I saw a foreigner."

"How long?"

Having said that, the old woman sighed and looked towards the snow mountains deep in the Snow Country.

"Yeah, since the death of the Snow City Lord a few years ago, our life has become worse and worse. The ninjas in those castles have been exploiting us, alas." The old woman said with a sigh, her face full of helplessness and vicissitudes .

"I heard that the current city lord is Fenghua Futao. There are some bad rumors about him, such as what killed her brother and usurped the throne..." Qi Ying deliberately mentioned the incident a few years ago, and took this opportunity to take a look. The old lady's reaction.

After hearing Qi Ying's words, the old woman frowned slightly, then shook her head, as if she didn't really want to talk about it.

"If Princess Xiaoxue was here, maybe this life could be changed, but..."

"Princess Little Snow..." Qi Ying murmured, and slightly glanced at Xiaoxue beside her.

At this time, Xiaoxue was silent with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Grandma, we still have something to do, so let's go first. Take care." Qi Ying took Xiaoxue's hand, said goodbye to the old woman, and left the place.

After leaving a long distance, Xiaoxue stopped, turned her head to look behind, and looked at the trembling villagers standing at the entrance of the village.

"Do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?" Qi Ying said after glancing at the direction Xiaoxue was looking at.

"..."

"You shouldn't let a little girl of your age know this, but there is no way, you are the princess of this country, and you still need to know about the situation of the people."

"I'm no longer a princess." Xiaoxue turned around after whispering softly.

Alas, this guy...

Afterwards, Qiying took Xiaoxue around for a long time, passing through many villages and small towns, all these places can be described in one word without exception.

awful.

The living conditions and mental outlook of the residents are close to the limit, and many of them look hopeless, which makes Qiying also have a curious thought in her heart.

What exactly did this windy and raging wave do to the citizens of Snow Country to lead to such a situation.

The more towns she passed, the more unstable Xiaoxue's mood became. After passing by a town full of tombstones, Xiaoxue, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally couldn't help it.

Her body began to tremble and she let out a sobbing sound, her immature hands clenched tightly, and it could be seen from the trembling shoulders that Xiaoxue's heart was on the verge of collapse.

Xiaoxue thought that after escaping, she felt that everything was over, and she didn't have to face it anymore, but she didn't expect that the citizens of the Snow Country would have such a miserable life.

I am really ashamed of these citizens.

Ashamed of the father who trusted him.

"Xiaoxue, although I think this is asking too much of you, you have to think about it carefully. Those citizens who hope you can save this country are suffering from this kind of pain and torture. You can see it too." Qi Ying He squatted down, his eyes were parallel to Xiaoxue's, and he looked at the two lines of tears streaming down Xiaoxue's face.

"Even if you don't face many things now, you will still have to face them in the future. I will ask you one last time, Fenghua Xiaoxue, come and take back the Snow Country with me."

"Why do you want to do this?" Xiaoxue raised her head choked up and asked, she really didn't understand why Qi Ying, who had never met before, came to find her specially and asked herself to take back the Snow Country.

"Because I need you to do me a favor, and only you can help me in the current situation. I will tell you when the matter is over."

Xiaoxue looked at Qiying silently. After thinking for a while, she chose to trust the person in front of her.

This trust comes from the helpless status quo and Qi Ying's serious eyes.

For the Land of Snow, for my father who has passed away, and for myself.

"I believe in you." After Xiaoxue nodded, she took the initiative to hold Qiying's hand.

"Well, thank you." Qi Ying replied with a smile like a spring breeze.

so warm...

In this place covered with ice and snow, Xiaoxue felt a bit of warmth from Qiying's smile.

The decision has been made, so it's time to implement it.

Qi Ying bit her thumb, quickly formed seals with her hands, and then pressed her palms to the ground.

"Ninja, psychic technique!"

A cloud of white smoke emerged from the snow, and a fifty-centimeter-tall honey badger jumped out of it.

"Wolf Soul, I'm so tired..." After jumping out of the white smoke, Wolf Soul yawned lazily.

Qi Ying looked at the wolf soul with a dark face, wondering why this guy always looked like he hadn't woken up for thousands of years every time he appeared on the stage.

"Wolf Soul, I have a job, cheer up."

"But, wolf soul, I'm so tired..."

"Wolf Soul, help me go to this place to find out how many enemies there are and where they are located." Qi Ying pointed to a place on the map and let Wolf Soul set off.

With a few sounds of "whoosh", the wolf soul disappeared instantly.

Although he always looks listless, things are done very quickly, this guy.

After the wolf soul disappeared, Qiying also took Xiaoxue and started walking towards the castle in the Snow Country.

Flourishing and furious, your time of death has arrived!
