Chapter 65: Repeated Flavors

  Looking at the empty room, even the little troublemaker who is always noisy and greedy around me has been thrown to God for training, and I still don't have the ability to protect it now. It's just... my heart feels empty, a feeling of loneliness.

  …………

  "Crack——"

  The door opened and Aroga looked at the empty room with some discomfort, saying cautiously: "Aoi Sakura, Yasha Maru has already returned, you can come out now."

  I responded with a sound, and retreated. 'Invisible Alice' sat on the bed and beckoned him to come over. Looking at him obediently coming over, she reached out and touched his reddish-brown hair (Kurenai, are you sure I'm not treating Aro like a pet?). Looking at his innocent smile, her eyes sank and her bangs hid the gloom in her eyes. This Aro is quite healing, but everything will change after Yagura's death.

  "...... Kurenai, want something to eat?"

  I understand what I Love Luo means, I Love Luo is worried that my stomach is hungry, but indeed since morning I haven't eaten anything. Take out a plate of cake from Blood Color Anthurium and start eating. (Blood Color Anthurium is a spatial ring, its function is to store items, and it can stop the time of the item, that is to say even if you put a piece of cake in this ring for 10,000 years, when you take it out, it will still be the same as the one 10,000 years ago)

  "What is this?" Iro gazed curiously at the triangular cake in the white plate.

  "This is cake, it's delicious." I explained to Aro the thing on my plate. This kind of cake probably isn't recognized by many people in this world, after all it comes from the Western Continent.

  I picked up a small piece with my fork and put it into the curious little raccoon dog's mouth, but as soon as he swallowed, Iro's face scrunched up like he was eating bitter melon, and then with a sour face said: "It's so sweet, just like sugar chestnuts."

  "Does Xia Ai dislike sweets?" It's rare to see a kid who dislikes sweets, I met the first one who dislikes it is Zuo Shi, he only likes wooden fish rice balls and tomatoes.

  "I dislike sugar gourds and mutton cakes, I like salted beef tongue."

  I secretly curled my lip, salty beef tongue? What is that thing? A very salty cow's tongue? Xiao Ai, I didn't expect your taste to be so weird, not liking sweet food is fine after all everyone's tastes are different, but I didn't expect your taste to be so heavy. I heard you also like bird's nest, a thing I've never even heard of, don't tell me it's that organ of the bird.

  Ira looked at the person beside him, wearing clothes he had never seen before, with curiosity in his eyes. But when he thought that she wasn't from the village where he lived and would leave him one day, his eyes gradually dimmed. "Where is Kurenai's home?"

  "My current home is in Konohagakure."

  "Wooden leaf?"

  "The Hidden Leaf Village is just nearby the Sand Ninja Village where Xiao Ai currently resides, they are adjacent. The Fire Country where the Hidden Leaf is located and the Wind Country where the Sand Ninja Village is located have an allied nation relationship, people from both countries can come and go freely. However, I am currently in a 'runaway' situation, so I cannot let anyone know that I am currently in the Sand Ninja Village.

  The Fire Country and the Wind Country are different, the Fire Country is a rich country with mountains and water, while the Wind Country is mostly surrounded by hills and deserts, with very little water source and vegetables... BLABLABLA......"

  Seeing him puzzled, she carefully explained to him about the Fire Country and the Wind Country. Anyway, Xiao Ai will become the Wind Shadow in the future, so let's just make him understand the relationship between allied nations first."

  …………

  Looking at Iaro's sleepy face, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Didn't he say that he couldn't sleep because of the one-tailed Shukaku? Looking at the drowsy expression on Shikamaru's face, my earlier doubts had already been thrown far away. After changing into pajamas, I let Iaro go to sleep, and then saw him groggily change his clothes before crawling onto the bed to meet his Lord of the Underworld. As I gazed at the sleeping Shikamaru on the bed, I sighed inwardly that he was still just a child, and then crawled into bed myself, hugging my "Iaro-brand" pillow as I drifted off to sleep.
