Konoha Koi

Chapter 397
The Kingdom of Demons, the clan land of the Kuroki clan, is also the residence of the city lord Kuroki Ichigo.

A man walked quickly into the inner courtyard, and the guards guarding the inner courtyard bowed respectfully when they saw this man.

And the identity of this man is none other than Kuroki Ichigo, the only son of the city lord Kuroki Ichigo.

"Father, why did you come back so soon? As soon as I heard the guards said that you had returned to the mansion, I hurried over here."

Before Kuroki Shouichi entered the room, the voice had already entered Kuroki's ear protectors.

"Your Highness, Master Heimu is waiting for you, please go in."

As soon as the guard saw Heimu Shouyi coming to the inner courtyard, he led the way.

"Oh, does your lord father already know that I'm coming?"

Kuroki Moriichi said in surprise.

Could it be that my lord father already knew about my love for Ziyue and planned to fulfill the two of us?
Although he also knew that this kind of thinking was unrealistic, he still couldn't help thinking about it.

The witches in the kingdom of ghosts were originally descendants of "Wu" in Kusanagi village. They came to live in the kingdom of ghosts in order to seal the monster "monsters". Moreover, this place is far away from the center of the war, so the blood of witches will not be cut off easily.

As a condition of permanent residency in Hundred Ghost City, Miko is free to choose a spouse, and no one is allowed to interfere.

The witch not only has the ability to seal monsters, but also has the ability to predict the future, which can well assist the ruler of the ghost country.

"Shouyi, I have already chosen a marriage partner for you."

Kuroki Ichigo looked at his son with a loving expression on his face.As long as it is what his son wants, he will try his best to get it, but this time, he must be obedient.

"Father, is the witch Ziyue?"

Kuroki Shouichi asked expectantly.

"No, you also know that this is impossible. Witches can't have boys, so they can't reproduce our family's offspring. And, more importantly, with the reputation of witches in our country, it is not impossible to overthrow our family arrive."

Kuroki Ichigo said calmly.

"Why, if you can't have a boy, you can just marry a few more women. Besides, with the strength of our family, we don't have to be afraid of anyone at all, right?"

Kuroki Shouichi said unwillingly.

"No, there are many people who can threaten our existence, but because I'm still here, I didn't come to the door."

Kuroki Ichigo shook his head and said, a trace of white hair fell down from his head.

"If that's the case, then who is my marriage partner?"

Kuroki Moriichi gritted his teeth, and said the words as if giving up.

"Daughter of the patriarch of the Dragon Clan—Dragon Heart."

……

The temporary residence of the Dragon Clan is located in the southwest corner of the city, which can be said to be one of the least prosperous areas.

However, patriarch Long Chuan was already satisfied with having a safe place to live in Hundred Ghost City.

However, no matter how comfortable a place is, it can't compare with my hometown.

When he got the news from the witch Ziyue, Long Chuan had already planned to leave with his family.

But after all the calculations, he never thought that the old guy Kuroki Ichigo would invite him to a meeting at this time, and his intention seemed to be noticed.

However, as the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, he had to go to the meeting held by the city lord because all the clansmen were still in the city.

It is impossible to forcibly leave the city. Although the Kuroki clan are not ninjas, all the guards are.What's more, the unique secret technique of the Black Wood Clan also makes him fearful.

"Father, you are back!"

A girl with long silver hair and light blue eyes happily came in front of Long Chuan, and threw herself into his arms.

Although nothing has changed, and her daughter is still lively, Long Chuan is worried.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Long Xin looked up at her father worriedly.

"No, it's nothing, let's go into the house first."

Long Chuan shook his head, he hasn't figured out how to talk to his daughter about that matter yet.

"OK, all right."

Long Xin nodded obediently.

When he came to the house, Long Xin had already brewed tea for Long Chuan. The tea was not cold yet, so it should have been brewed not long ago.

Long Chuan's hand holding the teacup turned slightly white, as if he was trying to endure something.

"boom!!"

The teacup was suddenly crushed, and the tea scattered everywhere.

"Father, your hand!"

Long Xin hurriedly knelt down and held Long Chuan's hand that was stabbed by glass slag, and took out a handkerchief-like cloth from his body to bind it up.

"Long Xin, how do you feel about that kid Kuroki Shouichi?"

Long Chuan gritted his teeth and said, if he doesn't say it now, he is afraid that he won't be able to say it later.

"Huh? Father, why do you ask this?"

the girl asked in bewilderment.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what you think of that person."

Long Chuan obviously lied, although it was insignificant, but this was the first time he lied to his daughter.

"For me, I think he is a guy who makes people unhappy."

Long Xin replied somewhat ambiguously.

"Answer me directly, Xin'er!"

Long Chuan said a little out of control, but then he regained control, covering his eyes with his intact left hand.

"Sorry, forget what I just said."

"It's impossible to forget, Father. This is the first time Father got angry with me. If it wasn't for some troublesome things, he would never have done this. Just tell me what it is. ?"

Long Xin held Long Chuan's intact hand and slowly pulled it away.

Warm tears flowed down Long Chuan's face, and he looked at his hand in disbelief, which was once held tightly by another hand.

……

"Long Chuan, remember to take good care of Xin'er, we made an agreement..."

In a quiet and warm room, a sick wife and husband hold hands tightly in bed.

"Well... It's an agreement, no matter what, I won't let her get hurt, I swear!"

Long Chuan said to his wife while weeping.His wife was bedridden because of dystocia. She was clearly terminally ill, but there was nothing she could do.

"...In this case, I can rest assured, thank you, Long Chuan."

After saying this, the wife passed away, losing her life like a withered flower.

……

"Hey, Xin'er, let's escape from here and join the clansmen."

Long Chuan said suddenly.

"Huh? Why, my lord father?"

Long Xin asked puzzledly.

"Don't ask too much, let's just run away, this is not the place we should stay."

Long Chuan stood up without further explanation.

"Inform everyone in the family to gather here at night." He said to the young guard outside the door.

The young bodyguard is an outstanding young generation of the Dragon Clan, named Long Qi, who has always assumed the duties of a bodyguard.

"Yes, Lord Longchuan!"

Long Qi turned around and left after receiving the order, and went to inform other clansmen.

After walking out of the courtyard, this junior with good talent showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and this scene was not seen by anyone.
