Chapter 254: Classmate Noshimura
"That's right congratulations, you survived!"
Li Jiexuan smiled as he pulled the dazed Noshimura to his feet. This guy couldn't die yet. Without him, Li Jiexuan had no interest in challenging an entire country alone.
Even if he could win, he'd be exhausted to death…
Seeing the battle end, Yeshenke and his sister, who had been hiding in the distance, ran over excitedly like two little deer…
"Dad!"
Yeshinko threw herself into Noshimura's arms, while Yeshenke's eyes filled with tears as he looked at his father with deep emotion.
The family was reunited truly something to celebrate!
After a moment of warmth, Noshimura wiped away his tears and put on the bearing of a ruler, nodding solemnly.
"This young brother, you didn't just save our family you saved the entire Land of wilds."
"Go ahead, tell me what you want."
With heartfelt emotion, Noshimura continued, "As long as I have it, I will satisfy you! Whether it's money, beauties, or ninjutsu…"
Hearing this, Yeshenke unconsciously lowered his head, feeling uneasy. Li Jiexuan simply smiled and shook his head.
"No need. Your son has already paid for it."
"Already paid?"
Noshimura froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled the bottle of water he had asked Yeshinko to deliver earlier. A sour feeling rose in his chest.
His eyes grew moist as tears welled up.
"A good person… someone like you, who repays even a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, is becoming rarer and rarer!"
As a king, it had been a long time since Noshimura had encountered such sincere sentiment…
"No matter what, the Land of wilds will forever remember your kindness." Noshimura patted Yeshenke's shoulder emotionally. "Son, when you inherit my position in the future, remember this ensure that the bond between the Land of wilds and the Jiexuan clan lasts forever!"
"Uh…"
Yeshenke opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Um… Classmate Noshimura, I think you may have misunderstood something." Li Jiexuan scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled. "The Land of wilds now belongs to me."
"Nani?"
Noshimura's eyes widened in shock, like a goose that had just had its eggs stolen. He stretched his neck stiffly and let out an awkward laugh.
"Classmate Jiexuan sure has a sense of humor!"
"This isn't humor." Li Jiexuan's face turned cold as he sneered. "If it's true or not, just ask your son, won't you?"
"My son?"
Noshimura suddenly turned around. With a thud, Yeshenke dropped to his knees, crying out in anguish:
"Father, I had no choice! I couldn't just watch you die!"
"You…!!"
Noshimura clenched his teeth, his hand nearly rising to strike but in the end, he withdrew it.
After all, this was his son's filial devotion…
Turning back again, Noshimura smiled warmly at Li Jiexuan.
"Friend Jiexuan, the child is young and doesn't understand things well. What he said "
"Zheng !"
The Kusanagi Sword slid from its sheath. Amid the cold gleam of the blade, Li Jiexuan smiled faintly.
"In this world, no one gets to default on what they owe me!"
"Gulp…"
Noshimura swallowed hard and forced a careful smile.
"Lord Jiexuan, you must be joking. I have no intention of defaulting I just need some time."
"Oh?"
"At the very least, I need some time to smoothly transfer the position of daimyo. Otherwise, the country won't function that would be a terrible disaster." Noshimura smiled sincerely. "Lord Jiexuan wouldn't want to receive a nation that can't even operate, would you?"
Seeing this, Li Jiexuan couldn't help but sneer.
This… was human nature!
Though Noshimura was smiling brightly now, if that mask were removed, he would probably wish to devour Li Jiexuan alive. These were the truly cold-blooded people forgetting in mere seconds who had just saved them!
And beneath Noshimura's words, there was an unmistakable hint of threat…
