Mm, I'm back!

Big-Bear Tsunade still looked better. Those men just now had really ruined my mood.

Thinking this, Hikari turned his head and happened to see Tsunade open her eyes. The two hands atop the high peaks also stretched out, revealing rippling lines.

So soft!

"Oh, is it time?" Tsunade sat up and asked quietly.

Hikari gently raised his hand and looked at his wrist.

"It's time. Since Lady Tsunade is awake, you can take the night watch while I sleep!" With that, Hikari took out a Sealing Scroll, pulled a pillow and cushion from it, quickly laid them out, and prepared to sleep.

"Don't sleep. Come with me for a moment!"

Tsunade beckoned mysteriously, then headed toward the small woods.

Hikari glanced back at his big brother before getting up and following her.

Once the two had gone far away, Kotetsu Hagane opened his eyes, and Izumo Kamizuki beside him also woke up.

"Izumo, congratulations. I'd say Lady Tsunade has really taken a liking to your little brother!"

Kotetsu opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

What could he say?

Whether it was her figure or her looks, Tsunade was outstanding among women. But there was one thing Kotetsu was dissatisfied with.

Her age.

It wasn't that Tsunade being older than Hikari was bad. It was just that there were only the two brothers in the Shen Clan. Kotetsu had been hoping that one day Hikari would come around and find a woman to give the Shen Clan a few children.

If Hikari was truly taken by Tsunade, what would happen to the Shen Clan?

He wondered whether Lady Tsunade would agree to let Guang marry another woman and have children.

Tsunade called me into the woods... Could she be plotting something improper against me?

Should I play dumb and just submit like this?

Listening to Hikari's thoughts, Tsunade was speechless as she looked to the heavens.

Since when had she, Tsunade, become a woman desperate for men?

Hadn't she lived perfectly well all these years?

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I just came out to relieve myself. You're here to stand guard for me!" Tsunade warned in a low voice, then began looking around for a suitable spot.

After a while, Tsunade spotted a dense patch of grass. From what she could tell, it was just right.

"Stand guard here. And turn around. No peeking!"

"Lady Tsunade, you think too poorly of me. Do I look like someone who peeks?" Hikari retorted stubbornly.

Tsunade looked him up and down, then nodded solemnly.

"You do. Very much so. Especially so!"

Hikari looked wordlessly at the sky. He felt that his character had been insulted.

"I never peek, because whenever I look, I look openly from the front."

"Get lost!"

Tsunade flew into a rage from embarrassment and waved at Hikari, a Super Strength Punch ready to strike.

"Fine, fine. I'll turn around."

You won't let me look today, but one day, when you're begging me to look, let's see how I deal with you!

Tsunade rolled her eyes dramatically.

Heh!

Beg you to look? Even if the moon fell from the sky, I, Tsunade, would never beg you to look at me.

Looking up at the sky, Hikari's exceptional physique allowed his ears to clearly pick up the conversation between his big brother and Izumo in the distance, as well as Might Guy's snoring.

Splash, splash, splash...

Damn, this woman is actually relieving herself out in the open!

Is there no law? No justice?

Thinking this, Hikari took several steps forward, putting more distance between himself and Tsunade.

Tsunade, who was taking care of her business in the grass, had turned bright red. Through the gaps in the grass, she watched Hikari move farther away, glaring at him as if she wanted to kill him.

You bastard, don't ever let me catch you, or you're dead.

Huh, she's still not coming out? Could Tsunade be doing something big in there? Did she bring tissues?

She isn't using her hand, is she?

Hearing this thought, Tsunade felt utterly miserable.

It was clearly a normal physiological need. How could Hikari make it sound so disgusting?

I brought tissues, and plenty of them.

You want me to wipe with my hand? Pah, no way.

Tomorrow night, I'll slip you some laxatives and have you shit yourself, you little bastard!

Tsunade cursed inwardly as the flush on her face gradually faded. She wasn't a child anymore. It was enough to show embarrassment for a moment; there was no need to dwell on it.

Ten minutes later.

Tsunade appeared before Hikari with an imposing air, the corners of her mouth raised and killing intent in her eyes.

"Xiao Guang!"

"Did you peek at me just now?"

Hikari: I feel like I've been insulted.

"Lady Tsunade, I swear I didn't look!"

You went to take care of your business, not take a bath. I'm not that disgusting that I'd watch something like that. Am I sick?

Tsunade's fist clenched involuntarily before she placed it on Hikari's shoulder.

"I don't like the look in your eyes. I really want to beat you up right now. Is that okay?"

"If you insist on asking, then I can only say no."

"Don't worry. I'll be gentle. I promise to leave you alive and won't make you suffer too much."

"You think I'd believe that nonsense?"

He backed up, then backed up again, until Hikari stopped.

It wasn't that he didn't want to retreat further. There was just a tree behind him.

Tsunade in front, a tree behind. Was heaven trying to destroy him?

But Hikari was exactly the kind of person who refused to believe in fate.

"Lady Tsunade, do you smell something bad?"

Dark lines crossed Tsunade's face. Looking at the patch of grass not far away, she revealed a benevolent smile.

"Xiao Guang, be a good person in your next life!"

Hikari raised his hand and grabbed Tsunade's wrist. "Lady Tsunade, I have one more thing to say. I wonder if I should say it."

"Say it! These are your last words. I'll respect them."

"After you finished just now, did you wash your hands?"

Tsunade: ???

Her mind instantly went blank.

She had never imagined Hikari would ask that.

Do you even know how to spell manners?

I'm your superior, for crying out loud. How dare you?

With a forceful twist, Hikari took advantage of Tsunade's brief daze to switch positions with her and pin her against the tree.

"Lady Tsunade, you were the one who called me over to protect you, yet you're repaying kindness with hostility. I really misjudged you!"

Oh-ho, this soft feeling is really comfortable!

Too bad I can't enjoy it for long. Tsunade will lose her temper soon.

Hikari stopped while he was ahead, taking a step back and releasing Tsunade's wrist at the same time.

"I swear I didn't look. Lady Tsunade is so angry now... Could it be because I didn't look, and that made you angry?"

Tsunade: Is that why I'm angry?

I'm angry because you don't respect me in your heart!

But there was no way to explain that.

If she said it aloud, Tsunade would have to explain why she could hear Hikari's thoughts. Once that happened, Hikari would definitely run away.

That was human instinct. No exceptions.

"You... forget it. Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, understand?"

Hikari raised his hand and swore, "I promise I won't tell!"

As for what other people say about the two of us, that's none of my business!
