Chapter 110 The Fat Sheep of the Inn

"Hehe~ You are such a bad-tempered kid." The kitten stretched out its claws and pulled at Ling's stubbornly curled hair. "Since this will make things more interesting, I will forgive your deception for the time being."

Ling was slightly stunned, but soon realized what Koneko was talking about, and chuckled and shook his head, "Ms. Nekomata, I didn't lie to you... I really can't detect you with my perception ninjutsu."

After pushing down the strand of hair that blocked his view, the kitten resumed his farmer's posture with satisfaction, "Humph~ This is really hard for a cat to believe... Hey, kid, it's time to turn left."

"Turn left? I see." Ling still had a smile on his face, "But Miss Nekomata is really friendly to humans.

In that fisherman's house before, Miss Nekomata should have had the opportunity and the ability to kill those two people, right?"

"They don't mean any harm, why should I do anything?"

"Oh? Sensing malice... Could it be that Miss Nekomata is a special sensing-type ninja beast?"

"Of course not. This is a use of Yin-Yang Chakra... Could it be that humans today can no longer do such a simple thing?" The kitten yawned again, "It's really degenerate."

[Yin Yang escape?... This is the first time I've heard of it.] Ling raised his hand and touched the back of his neck which was itchy from being brushed by Nekomata's furry tail. [It seems that Miss Nekomata is a ninja beast that has lived for a long time... But a tailed beast that has lived for such a long time can actually be restrained by the sealing technique. Is the sealing technique really the technique that we should be most wary of?

Moreover, compared to the Senju clan, the Uzumaki clan's chakra is indeed more aggressive, and their tempers are also more violent - if the enemy target is not our Uchiha. 】

Seeing Ling fall silent, the kitten patted his forehead with its paw again, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"No, I was just thinking that Nekomata-san seems to like humans."

"Well, I like humans. After all, humans always have new and strange ideas and create many interesting things. If you can't find fun in your long life, you will be very lonely.

But because you can clearly sense malice, it is always difficult for you to get close to humans - but you are very special..." At this point, the kitten stretched out its paw again and patted Ling's forehead with its paw pad, "You are completely free of malice towards everything around you. Logically, even if you are just on guard against external objects, you will show hostility, right?"

"Then Miss Nekomata, will you consider becoming my summoning beast?"

"Huh~ Are you avoiding the question? How cunning."

But Ling just smiled and didn't give a direct answer, "Calculating the distance, we should be there soon, right?"

"It's twenty meters in front of you on the right," the kitten put his paw on Ling's head again, not bothering with Ling's evasion of the question, "Although I like interesting things, the malice there is overflowing. Do you really want to go to that kind of place?"

"Don't say that, Miss Nekomata," Ling laughed softly, "It's a really good place for people like us who often walk on the edge of a knife. If you have enough strength, no one can refuse a black market that takes the initiative to attack you. No one."

"Hehehe~ I like this saying."

The place that Nakano Sanzang introduced was just an inn that was not very eye-catching. The moment Ling pushed the door open and walked in, he could feel several scrutinizing eyes falling on him, but he remained calm and only took two steps forward to avoid the door. "Excuse me, who is the boss?"

"I'm the boss, Shi Yuchuanqi," a lazy male voice sounded, "Did you come here on purpose?"

"Yes, I'm looking for a place to drink and stay," Ling turned to the direction where the voice came from, "When I was asking around on the road, I met an enthusiastic man named Nakano Sanzang, who recommended me here, saying that you have rare and good wine here."

"Oh? The person recommended by Nakano..." Shi Yuchuanqi's voice stretched out a little, "Okay, guest, come here to register, and I will bring out good wine to entertain you."

After recording the name and length of stay, Shi Yuchuanqi spoke again, "Is there anything the guest should avoid eating?"

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, but I prefer lighter flavors."

"Light?" Shi Yuchuanqi snorted and laughed in an ambiguous manner, "What a good habit, just find a place to sit."

"Excuse me."

As they walked, Ling felt the kitten that had been lying on his head jump onto his shoulder again, and the gentle female voice soon came, "It's not just the guy named Shi Yu. After you said the name of Nakano Sanzang, everyone here has undisguised malicious intent."

"This is normal," Ling laughed softly, his lips not moving, his voice very low, "That Nakano Sanzang is a person who specializes in finding fat sheep for the black market. Who the fat sheep found will belong to and what they will be used for depends on who is quicker to act."

"Hmm~ It sounds like you've done this more than once."

"Haha... this is the first time since I became blind."

Just as Ling said, not long after he sat down, the people around him became restless, and finally a few of them left quickly, but came back a short while later and occupied the empty tables around Ling, making the atmosphere of this deserted inn warmer - at least it sounded very warm.

When the boss Shi Yuchuanqi served the food, the people who had their eyes on the "fat sheep" finally couldn't bear it anymore. Ling felt a light knock on the corner of the table where he was sitting, and a low but gentle male voice sounded from above, "Hello, can I sit here? I really can't find an empty seat for me."

Ling Qian smiled and looked up, "Of course, please."

"Ah - this is really a great help. My name is Dongyun, and I'm a traveling merchant." The man who called himself Dongyun sat next to Ling. "Looking at your attire, you should be traveling around the world like me, right?"

"I can't say I've traveled to many countries. I just wanted to come out and relax after what happened." Ling raised his hand and fumbled to pour himself a glass of wine. After taking a sip, the smile on his lips became more genuine. "The taste is mellow and smooth, but not without warmth. It is indeed a good wine."

"Hey, little brother, the Land of Lightning is famous for producing strong liquor. You can't drink like this alone."

Dong Yun's voice was full of admonition and his expression was extremely sincere, but the malice emanating from him only made the kitten, who was extremely sensitive to malice, crawl back onto Ling's head in disgust - humans really were hypocritical enough.
