Miss Asada is gentle and elegant. But when she turns on someone, she can be very scary. Interpreter Sun will know it.
She doesn’t need an interpreter at all. Interpreter Sun is just here for covering and getting close to people in Tao’s Village. Now he is totally useless. The first thing comes to Sakurako Asada’s mind is how ugly and embarrassing he was that night. What’s worse, he is always so evasive when he looks at her recently.
Or maybe, Sakurako Asada is just concerned about that she was overwhelmed by Lin Luoran.
In the beginning, they went to the secret land together. At that time, no one could underestimate Lin Luoran because she was the best among all young Huaxia cultivators. At that time, however, while many people were jealous of her, nobody was mad about that because she was not strong enough to make others feel fear.
In just a few years, people have forgotten her title of the best among all Huaxia juniors. Not because her personal ability becomes worse, but she has entered a higher class with absolutely real strength!
The social status of Nihonese women is not high. Sakurako Asada was born in an unprivileged branch of a large family. Her mother was a geisha with a great reputation in Togyo, but still not noble enough to be a member of the Asada family. So when the master found her mother was pregnant, he just sent her to Shandong, Huaxia… If Sakurako had not been found that she had personal ability, they would have never been back to the family. Even so, she was always bullied in her own family…
Sakurako Asada stops recalling her memories. Self-pity can never gain others’ sympathy. The right solution is to get stronger, like Lin Luoran. She is from a poor family, but now she has also become a pivotal role in the world of cultivation in Huaxia.
For example, if she can get the treasure of the Green Mountains and then back to Nihon, back to the family Asada, who dares to look down on her again?!
Sakurako Asada smiles to old Mr. Hong, full of charm. She, to some degree, inherits her mother’s charm as a geisha.
Because of the smile, old Mr. Hong can’t hold on to the chicken, and it falls to the ground. He is too old to be tempted by beauty, but Sakurako’s smile is really scary for him.
“Mr. Hong, can we just sit down together, and you tell Sakurako the story of this jar?”
Sakurako Asada smiles again and helps Mr. Hong to stand stable.
The hot sun couldn’t even illuminate Mr. Hong’s heart that is gradually sinking.
Are these Nihonese going to do something bad to the people in Tao’s Village… Mr. Hong can hardly think about it.
Holding the painted pottery in her hand, Sakurako Asada forces Mr. Hong to walk to the back room with her. There is a cyan light flickering on the vivid fox image when light alternates with darkness.
It is drawn with a very unique paint. The painted fox looks very normal. But it will turn cyan under a special light.
Sakurako Asada just discovers that. Looking at it, she is more and more certain that people in Tao’s Village are from the Green Mountains of ancient times.
If she wants to find the Country of the Green Mountains which has been lost in history, maybe these descendants can help.
…
Hong Bin has nothing else to do, so he continues to do his job of eavesdropping.
After a few days, he already felt that Miss Sakurako from Nihon is very gentle and soft. She often gives candies to kids in the village. She is not a bad person like the three people said.
He feels so guilty. So after taking Lin Luoran’s one hundred yuan, he decides to give up this job. Today is his last day to do the eavesdropping job. Hong Bin thinks in silence and lifts up the rubble of the wall to peep. He sees old Mr. Hong.
He hears the Shandong accent. Hong Bin, eleven, is a little clever but can’t understand genteel words. He is just surprised that how can Miss Sakurako speak the language of Huaxia?
He puts his eye to a hole and holds his breath, looking at the old Mr. Hong’s courtyard.
Three Nihonese men stand solemnly at the door as if they are guarding against anyone coming in. It is really a pity that Mr. Hong’s plucked chicken falls to the ground. Hong Bin swallows, and he sees Miss Sakurako pats on Interpreter Sun and then he just falls down.
Hong Bin always thinks the Interpreter Sun as an embroidered pillow with feet. After a while, Miss Sakurako helps old Mr. Hong to walk into the back room, but Interpreter Sun still hasn’t stood up yet. Hong Bin feels something wrong. Interpreter Sun is lying on the ground and thick black liquid runs down from the corners of his mouth.
The Nihonese are bad guys indeed. What should he do?
Hong Bin is sweating all over his body. It takes him a while to remember that he needs to go to the hillside and tell Lin Luoran what has happened. He is still shocked by how Luoran killed the snake. Perhaps the three people on the hillside, sister Lin, can save Mr. Hong.
Hong Bin stumbles towards the village entrance and finds one of the Nihonese men standing under the locust tree.
It’s over! Ambush!
“Child, where are you going?” He is not fluent in the language of Huaxia. Hong Bin is sweating a lot. “Go mowing…!”
The Nihonese man looks serious: “Go back, or die.”
How can he go mowing with bare hands? Does this Huaxia child find something wrong and want to run away? Kazuo Yamamoto doesn’t worry about it because he is just a child. But thinking himself is in the land of Huaxia, he still has some bad feelings.
Hong Bin can do nothing but go back.
Kazuo Yamamoto narrows his eyes. It seems that Miss Sakurako has succeeded.
He doesn’t even notice an eagle-sized golden hawk on the branch above his head. It flies up into the sky silently and heads for the hillside a few miles away.
…
“They want the Green Mountains…” Lin Luoran stares at the little fox with a complex look. It is holding a jar and thinking something.
Although Goldie is like a little child, it can understand the meanings of some simple words without using the spiritual mind because it has spent a long time in this world. For example, it knows “Green Mountains”. It and cyan little fox were caught by a man. He always mentioned “Green Mountains” in front of cyan little fox all day. So it knows the word. Whenever the word is mentioned, this little fox will become very aggressive.
They are all beasts so there is no obstacle for Goldie and cyan little fox to communicate.
“Hey, why are you crying?”
Cyan little fox ignores it with the jar in hand.
Goldie persists, “They always mention the Green Mountains. Where is it?”
Cyan little fox still ignores it. Goldie couldn’t help but taking its beak to gently peck the little fox’s claw. This is supposed to be a friendly gesture of the arrogant Goldie to show kindness. But cyan little fox’s claws loosen, and the jar in its hand falls down naturally.
Crackling——It is totally broken.
Cyan little fox glares at it. Goldie knows that it seems to be in trouble but it doesn’t know what to say. It is not arrogant anymore.
“Green Mountains! These people will never give up looking for the Green Mountains!
Cyan little fox randomly wipes its eyes and runs down the mountain.
Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian want to follow it but are stopped by Lin Luoran.
“It’s okay. It just needs to release its anger. Little fox is very quick, so those Nihonese can’t catch it anyway.” Is Sakurako the only one who wants the Green Mountains, or is she the spearhead of Nihon? Lin Luoran hesitates. If she appears at this time, she may alert the enemy and then she can’t completely defeat them.
But that night, those Nihonese did not seem to see the cyan little fox hiding behind the tree?
So if it appears now, something unexpected may happen—Lin Luoran touches Goldie’s head, “You don’t mean it. No need to blame yourself.”
