Hinata was extremely nervous. She hadn't expected her father to ask about the medicinal herbs, and she knew she was in trouble. It seemed that the blood ginseng was quite valuable.
"Father, I... I ate it."
"Lies!" Hiashi exclaimed angrily.
" Hinata, do you know how important that blood ginseng is to our Hyuga Clan? It's a thousand-year-old blood-nourishing treasure! Even scraping off some powder and soaking it in water can replenish blood and improve complexion! Where did you put it?!"
"I'm sorry, Father, I'll go and get the thousand-year-old blood ginseng back." Hinata clenched her small hands, her heart filled with unease. How should she explain to Xiao Tian that she needed the blood ginseng back later?
"Who did you give it to?" Hiashi's face darkened. She's not even married yet, and she's already spending money like this. What will she be like in the future?
"Father, I... I gave the Blood Ginseng to the Fifth Hokage."
" The Fifth Hokage? Nonsense!" Hiashi was still in shock when he heard this.
"You mean Xiao Tian Uchiha?!"
"Yes." Hinata Hyuga said firmly, "Father, wait for me. I'll go to Aunt Meihuizi right now and get the blood ginseng back!"
"Wait, no need to go. Just get more medicinal herbs and send them over later," Hiashi said.
"Huh?" Hinata looked at Hiashi with a puzzled expression.
Hiashi smiled Hiashi, and the image of Meihuizi's face appeared in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
"That's settled then. There aren't any missions for a while, so just focus on your training and don't let your sister Hanabi surpass you!"
"Yes, Father."
Night had fallen, and the Full Moon hung high in the sky. Hinata Hyuga was practicing Gentle Fist in her backyard.
Suddenly, Hinata saw the moonlight streaming down and the person staring at her from the corner of the wall. When she recognized him, her beautiful eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, about to shout.
Xiao Tian Uchiha arrived as if by teleportation, covered Hinata's mouth, and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound. The guy who was secretly protecting you during your training was knocked unconscious by me. Come to your room, I have something to give you."
Hinata secretly delighted. "You have something to give me?"
Inside the room, the two sat facing each other.
Xiao Tian took out a jade box, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Hinata.
"Hehe, let's open it and see."
Hinata's heart pounded wildly; she was incredibly nervous. Her little hand reached out with anticipation, and she gently opened the jade box.
Suddenly, the room was filled with a bright light, and a radiance shot out from the jade box!
Hinata blinked and looked closely at the jade box. Inside was a transparent crystal ball, no bigger than her little finger, emitting a faint silver light.
"So beautiful."
"Hehe, this is made from the medicinal herbs you sent. Eat it quickly, it will be of great benefit to you." Xiao Tian said, taking out a glass of iced Cola the system had given him after successfully refining a certain pill that night. It could be refilled indefinitely as long as he had enough points.
"This is a pill?" Hinata stared at Xiao Tian in disbelief.
"Yes, eat quickly, then drink the Cola. Also, thank you for that thousand-year-old blood ginseng. Did your family elders give you any trouble? If they did, tell me, and I'll take care of them."
"Okay, Father didn't make things difficult for me. He told me to prepare more medicinal herbs and send them to you," Hinata muttered, blushing.
"Wow, this guy Hiashi is interesting," Xiao Tian thought to himself in surprise.
Watching Hinata consume the Marrow-Cleansing and Origin-Nurturing Spirit Pill and drink an ice-cold Cola, Xiao Tian couldn't help but silently count down.
After counting down to 1, Xiao Tian Xiao.
"Xiao Tian-chan, my stomach suddenly feels really uncomfortable, I'll be right back," Hinata said, blushing, without suspecting at all that it was the pill that was the problem.
