Chapter 175: Revealing one's identity

If the three-tailed beast is not his summoning beast yet, Richard might consider extracting the one-tailed beast from Gaara's body, and then use physical form to persuade the one-tailed beast to sign a summoning contract with him.

But he already has the three-tailed beast as a summoning beast, so he is not in a hurry to get the second tailed beast as a summoning beast immediately.

Mao Yue Xi Yan didn't know what Richard was thinking, and practiced tiger hunting attentively.

Time passed little by little.

Unknowingly, night fell.

Although she had practiced for several hours, Mao Yue Xi Yan still had no intention of giving up and continued to practice tiger hunting.

After taking a look at the night sky, Richard came to Mao Yue Xi Yan and said to her: "Let's stop here today. The more anxious you practice, the worse the effect will be."

After hearing Richard's words, Mao Yue Xi Yan stopped practicing for several hours.

"I will master tiger hunting as soon as possible, and I will never let you down."

Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at Richard seriously and said quickly.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take your time."

Richard replied.

After spending some time together, he found that Mao Yue Xi Yan, who looked weak on the outside, had a very strong heart.

Although she rarely showed this point, as long as she spent a long time together, she could easily find this point.

"Yeah!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan nodded.

"Okay, go back and rest."

After that, Richard was ready to use the instant body technique to leave.

At this moment, Mao Yue Xi Yan suddenly said: "That... You have taught me a lot during this period of time, and I haven't thanked you very much."

"If you don't mind, I will treat you to dinner tonight."

Treat me to dinner?

Richard stopped the operation of chakra and looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan with a surprised face.

After thinking for a while, he said to Mao Yue Xi Yan: "I don't eat fast food from convenience stores."

Mao Yue Xi Yan said she would treat him to a drink last time.

In the end, she treated him to a frozen drink from the ATM.

He didn't mind eating with Mao Yue Xi Yan.

But if they ate fast food from convenience stores together, he would not be interested.

After Richard finished speaking, Mao Yue Xi Yan's face first showed an embarrassed look.

Then, she said seriously: "It's too insincere to treat you to fast food from a convenience store."

"I decided to cook by myself and let you taste my cooking skills."

Cook by myself?

Richard didn't know Mao Yue Xi Yan's cooking skills.

However, judging from her expression, her cooking skills should not be too bad.

A kitchen novice or a person with poor cooking skills would be embarrassed to say that he would cook by himself.

"Will this be too troublesome?"

Richard said slowly.

"It's not a big deal, you have to believe me!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan said quickly.

"In that case, let me see how good your cooking skills are!"

"I've said it in advance, my food requirements are quite high."

"If it's too bad, I'll tell the truth."

Richard said in a serious tone.

He was not lying, but telling the truth.

In order not to force himself to eat something he didn't like, he hired many Chinese chefs at high prices, whether in the Silver Manor in New York or the Palace in Silver City.

"You, a person who eats three meals a day at Ichiraku Ramen, don't look like someone who has high requirements for food."

Mao Yue Xi Yan rolled her eyes at Richard unconsciously, and complained about him in a close tone like a couple complaining.

The food at Ichiraku Ramen is indeed good.

But no matter how good it tastes, it's just ramen.

Not only that, it's actually quite difficult to make ramen taste bad.

If even a simple food like ramen can be made unpalatable, it can only mean one thing, that is, the person who cooks is an absolute kitchen idiot.

Richard was not surprised that Mao Yue Xi Yan would doubt that he didn't have high requirements for food.

After all, the store he visited most in Konoha was Ichiraku Ramen.

But he didn't expect that Mao Yue Xi Yan would roll his eyes unconsciously when she said this, and her tone became as intimate as a couple complaining.

If it were any other time, he would think that Mao Yue Xi Yan was doing it on purpose.

However, now, he was sure that Mao Yue Xi Yan was acting completely on instinct.

Although it was a little unexpected, he soon guessed what was going on.

Mao Yue Xi Yan did approach him deliberately to complete the task and wanted to gain his trust.

But as the number of contacts increased, especially after he began to teach Mao Yue Xi Yan swordsmanship, Mao Yue Xi Yan began to trust him in turn.

Normally, Mao Yue Xi Yan, as an Anbu ninja, would not make such a low-level "mistake".

But Mao Yue Xi Yan is also a person, and a woman.

Whether it is appearance or temperament, Richard is far superior to other men.

Although Mao Yue Xi Yan now has a boyfriend, Moonlight Gale is completely incomparable to Richard.

Let's not talk about appearance and temperament.

Moonlight Gale's strength is far inferior to Richard.

With swordsmanship alone, Richard has shown strength that is not inferior to elite ninjas.

If we add ninjutsu, taijutsu, chakra, etc., there is a huge gap between Moonlight Gale and Richard that is insurmountable.

Uzuki Yugao is indeed very loyal!

But if she doesn't change at all after spending a long time with Richard every day, it would be abnormal.

In other words, if she hadn't had a boyfriend, she would have expressed her love to Richard enthusiastically and proactively like the Konoha ninjas he met before.

After discovering that Mao Yue Xiyan had unconsciously used an affectionate tone towards him like a couple complaining, Richard mentally mourned for a few seconds of silence for Moonlight Blast.

In the original manga, after Moonlight Hayate died, Uzuki Xiyan never found a new boyfriend and lived in sadness.

Judging from the current situation, once Moonlight Hayate dies, Uoyuki Xiyan may soon get over her grief.

Uzuki Xiyan's apartment.

Richard sat in the living room, patiently waiting for the next dinner.

After bringing him back to the apartment, Uoyue Xiyan asked him to sit in the living room and wait with a confident look on her face, then went to the kitchen alone, ready to show him her hand.

Although she didn't know what kind of food Uoyuki Xiyan would bring out next, judging from the confidence on her face, tonight's dinner shouldn't be too bad.

Time passes little by little.

After working in the kitchen for more than half an hour, Uoyuki Xiyan, wearing an apron, came out carrying a few common home-cooked dishes.

Miso soup, teriyaki chicken legs, tofu and egg custard, fried pork cutlets, sukiyaki pot, and spinach salad!

Although it is not a very complicated dish, it is a common home-cooked dish.

But judging from the appearance and aroma, Maoyue Xiyan's cooking skills are indeed not bad.

After bringing out all the home-cooked dishes, Uzuki Xiyan took off the apron she was wearing, revealing a tight-fitting sleeveless black top.

After entering the kitchen, she took off her green ninja vest and put on a cooking apron.

There's nothing wrong with that.

In other words, this is a normal behavior.

But Maoyue Xiyan ignored one problem, that is, Richard was not Moonlight Hayate.

Without the green vest, the tight sleeveless black top perfectly showed off Uzuki Xiyan's breast curves.

After seeing Mao Yue Xiyan taking off her apron and sitting opposite him, Richard originally wanted to remind her to put on a green vest.

But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.

Mao Yue Xiyan didn't care, and he certainly didn't need to care.

Besides, Uzuki Xiyan looks better wearing only a tight sleeveless black top than when she wears a green vest.

In other words, more tempting.

"Try my skills, you won't be disappointed!"

Maoyue Xiyan said with confidence.

"There's no need to try it. Just by looking at the appearance and the aroma, you can tell that it tastes good."

"You are really good at cooking. You probably cook a lot."

Richard asked about Mao Yue Xiyan.

"It's okay."

"If I have time, I usually do it myself."

"But you also know that when there are no tasks, you can still arrange your own time."

"Once you have a task, let alone cooking, whether you have time to eat is another problem..."

Speaking of this, Maoyue Xiyan paused.

Then, he frowned and said, "You should have guessed early on that I started approaching you because of the mission, right?"

"Well, I guessed it the first day you came to the store."

Richard did not deny it and replied directly.

"Then you should also know that I am actually from ANBU."

Uzuki Xiyan pointed to the ANBU symbol on her right shoulder.

Ordinary people may not know that the red mark on her shoulder is the exclusive mark of ANBU, but anyone who has joined ANBU or knows the specific situation of ANBU will know that the red mark on her shoulder means that she is an ANBU ninja.

Of course, it's also possible that he was a ninja who was once anbu.

Kakashi also has the same red mark on his shoulder, but Kakashi quit the ANBU early and is no longer a member of the ANBU.

"This is a little earlier. When I saw you for the first time outside Ichiraku Ramen, I knew you were an ANBU, or that you used to be an ANBU ninja."

Richard's expression was still calm.

Although he did not expect that Uoyue Xiyan would reveal his identity at this time, he could guess why Uoyue Xiyan would do this.

To put it simply, Maoyue Xiyan didn't want to lie to him anymore.

To put it more complicated, Uzuki Xiyan wanted to use the method of self-explosion to confirm whether he had the idea of ​​harming Konoha.

"Since you knew it a long time ago, why didn't you expose me and teach me swordsmanship?"

Mao Yue Xiyan asked with a frown.

"Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question first."

"Since you approached me deliberately to investigate me, why did you invite me to your home for dinner?"

Richard asked towards Mao Yue Xiyan.

Without any hesitation, Uoyue Xiyan immediately replied: "Because my intuition tells me that you are not a bad person."

"If you want to hurt me or harm Konoha, not many people in Konoha can stop you."

"Even if the Hokage takes action himself, he may not be able to stop you."

Intuitive?

Women are indeed very emotional creatures!

Hearing Mao Yue Xiyan's answer, Richard sighed in his heart.

"Since you said it so straightforwardly, I'll just say it as well."

"Where I come from, I really can't tell you."

"But for now, my impression of Konoha is not bad, I have no intention of harming Konoha, and I plan to live in Konoha forever."

"I know it's hard for you to believe me based on my words, but whether you believe it or not, this is the truth."

"In addition, the information I filled out when entering the village is indeed true."

"I did come from the Land of Water. Before coming to Konoha, I lived in the Hidden Mist Village for a while."

"But I am not from the Hidden Mist Village, and they have no ability to make me their spy and pawn."

"That's all I can say. If you... no, if the Konoha high-level officials, including the Hokage, still think that I am an unstable and dangerous factor, I can't do anything about it."

Richard looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan with a serious expression and said slowly.

After hearing his answer, Mao Yue Xi Yan fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, she continued: "Let's eat first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"That... I don't know if the Hokage and others will trust you."

"But I believe you are not a bad person!"

Looking at the serious expression on Mao Yue Xi Yan's face, Richard smiled and nodded.

In the following time, they didn't talk about any serious issues. They ate the dinner in front of them and chatted like good friends.

Time passed by little by little.

After eating all the dishes on the table, Mao Yue Xi Yan was cleaning the table accurately when there was a knock on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, Mao Yue Xi Yan quickly said, "It should be Ji Feng."

After that, she got up and walked to the entrance hall.

When she went to the entrance hall to open the door, Richard used his super vision to take a look.

Mao Yue Xi Yan was right. The person knocking on the door was indeed Moonlight Ji Feng.

To be precise, it was Moonlight Ji Feng holding flowers.

Judging from the appearance of Moonlight Ji Feng, he should have returned to the village after completing a mission.

Although it was already evening, he bought flowers as soon as possible to give Mao Yue Xi Yan a surprise.

As the door opened, Moonlight Ji Feng appeared in Mao Yue Xi Yan's sight.

Moonlight Ji Feng did not hesitate and immediately handed the flowers to Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"I'm back!"

Moonlight Ji Feng said to Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"Yeah!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan nodded.

Then, he brought Moonlight Gale, who had just completed the mission, to the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, Moonlight Gale frowned.

Why is he here?

After seeing Richard, Moonlight Gale immediately had a bad premonition and turned to look at Mao Yue Xi Yan.

Then, he reacted and found that Mao Yue Xi Yan was not wearing a green vest now, but a tight black top that could perfectly show the curve of her chest.

Could it be them?

Some not-so-good pictures immediately flashed through Moonlight Gale's mind.

Just when he wanted to say something, Mao Yue Xi Yan took the initiative to explain.

"Richard taught me a sword technique called Tiger Hunting today, and I invited him to my house for dinner to express my gratitude."

Although Mao Yue Xi Yan said the truth, Moonlight Gale still felt that his blue-black ninja hat had signs of turning green.

…
