Chapter 421 Daily Tricks
Being questioned so directly and intensely by Uchiha Mitsunori, coupled with the chaotic thoughts churning in his mind just now...
Tian Tian's cheeks flushed bright red in an instant, even the tips of her ears turned a striking pink, and a faint blush spread down her neck.
I wanted to say that I was just feeling uneasy after doing a tarot reading in the morning, but I didn't know how to explain the source of this panic; I wanted to mention the "Lovers" card that shone so brightly in the tarot deck, but I felt too ashamed to say it.
He mumbled incoherently for a long time, as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence, only making faint sounds.
"I...I..."
Uchiha Mitsunori took in her flustered and embarrassed appearance, a sly smile flashing across his eyes.
He deliberately slowed his pace, approaching her step by step, until the distance between them was less than half a foot, before stopping steadily.
He leaned down slightly, his gaze level with her lowered head, and teased her with a hint of playfulness, "Tian Tian, why is your face as red as a ripe cherry? Could it be... that you're too happy to see me, or perhaps you secretly have a crush on me and I've touched a nerve?"
The warm breath brushed against the top of her hair, bringing a tingling sensation that made Tian Tian's body tense instantly.
"I...I didn't..."
Every day, he would freeze in fright at his blunt and bold teasing, like a startled little rabbit.
But his eyes darted around nervously, glancing at the scattered kunai on the ground one moment and the vines outside the courtyard wall the next, but he dared not meet the gaze of Sanfeng's deep eyes.
She had never been teased so directly by a man before, especially not by Lord Sanfeng.
For a moment, I felt all the blood rush to my head, and I felt both ashamed and flustered. I wished I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing her attempt to cover up her mistake and only make things worse, Uchiha Mitsunori's smile deepened, but he stopped teasing her.
He straightened up, his tone shifting abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on Tian Tian's face: "I sensed someone was secretly thinking about me, someone who will become my future queen, so I followed my senses here, only to unexpectedly encounter you!"
He was half-true and half-false, but he had already decided to visit her today. The false part was that the so-called "intuition" was just an excuse to go with the flow, just to test her feelings and see if this little Pisces star was really as the intelligence said, easily moved by romance and a sense of destiny.
After hearing this, Tian Tian's head buzzed, completely throwing her into disarray. It was as if a switch had been flipped, and the "Lovers" card that appeared during her morning divination suddenly surfaced clearly in her mind. She could even see the red thread wrapped around the card clearly.
Her cheeks turned even redder, as if they were burning, and her breathing became rapid, her chest rising and falling slightly.
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute but not knowing where to begin, and a strange flutter of emotion welled up in her heart that she herself was unwilling to admit.
Could it really be herself, the "person who secretly thinks of him" that Lord Sanmine mentioned? But how could that be? She had only occasionally fantasized about what this ninja world overlord looked like in novels!
Suppressing her panic, Tian Tian stammered, "Lord Sanfeng...you...you must be joking, how could this be..."
Even so, her gaze became increasingly evasive, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly like startled butterfly wings. She dared not meet Sanfeng's ambiguous gaze, fearing that he would see right through her.
Looking at her hypocritical and evasive appearance, Uchiha Mitsunori's smile and determination grew even stronger.
He slowly raised his hand, his fingers slightly cool to the touch, and gently lifted Tian Tian's chin. The force was light but carried an irresistible strength, forcing her to raise her head and meet his gaze.
His eyes were as deep as the night sky, with stars seemingly swirling within them, possessing a deadly allure. He locked his gaze on her panicked eyes without blinking, allowing her no chance to escape.
"Tian Tian, look at me. Your eyes tell me you just lied."
He leaned down slightly, and the distance between them instantly closed to almost nose-to-nose contact. They could clearly feel each other's breath, leaving her with almost no strength left to struggle.
"That means you were really thinking about me secretly just now, right?"
Before Tiantian could retort, he smiled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant pride, yet undeniably alluring: "Women who love me are scattered throughout the ninja world, numbering well over a billion. They all desperately want to be by my side, so what's there to be shy about?"
Tenten is a sensitive and imaginative Pisces. She has read many romantic novels and picture books about Lord Mimine and has long had a vague image of this strategist and handsome ninja world overlord in her heart.
At this moment, guided by his direct and forceful approach, his deep and alluring eyes and captivating words intertwined, instantly shattering her last psychological defenses, and her mind began to wander uncontrollably into fantasies.
She imagined herself becoming his queen, just as he had said. Her cheeks grew increasingly hot, and her eyes, initially filled with panic, gradually softened with a hazy and shy look that she herself didn't even realize, like glass covered with a layer of mist.
"Lord Mitsumine... I..."
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but only uttered soft murmurs.
The next second, Uchiha Mitsunori swept her up in his arms and held her firmly against her knees and back.
He looked deeply into Tian Tian's eyes, his expression brimming with confidence: "Tian Tian, I can now confirm that you are one of my future queens."
Before Tian Tian could even react, his warm lips covered hers.
That domineering and experienced kiss, as it lingered and caressed, pried open her teeth, intertwined with her tongue, and conveyed his feelings without reservation.
This series of attacks was so fast and precise that it brought Tian Tian's brain to the brink of "dry burning".
Her face flushed, and her body instantly lost all strength, so she leaned softly against his chest.
"Lord Mitsumine...no..."
But hidden within that "no" was a barely perceptible shyness and fluttering heart.
Seeing her coy refusal, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes filled with even more affection. Instead of stopping, he leaned down again and responded to her shyness with an even deeper and more lingering kiss.
Every day, feeling weak all over, she leaned against Sanfeng's chest, her hand, which had been resting against his chest, had somehow quietly gripped his collar.
Her cheeks were so red they almost bled, and her eyes were moist. All traces of her earlier panic were gone, replaced by shyness and excitement from being teased. Even her breath carried a sweet scent.
Seeing Tenten's completely captivated expression, Uchiha Mitsunori thought to himself, "She really is a Pisces girl, like water, gentle and sensitive, easily swayed. It seems I already had a high level of affection for Tenten, saving me a lot of trouble."
He slowly stepped back a little, his forehead touching hers, their noses meeting, their breaths mingling.
He kissed her gently again, his lips landing on her reddened corner, his voice softer than ever before: "Silly girl, this is fate's arrangement, and you've fallen for her too, haven't you?"
Every day, her secret was laid bare by his words, and she buried her face in his chest in embarrassment, softly pouting, "Lord Sanfeng...you're going too far, how could you suddenly...kiss me like that..."
Despite her complaints, her body betrayed her, showing no intention of breaking free. Instead, she greedily absorbed his warmth and felt his steady, powerful heartbeat.
Uchiha Mitsunori chuckled softly, the vibration of his chest transmitting through his clothes to Tenten, sending a shiver down her spine.
He gently patted her back, like comforting a wronged kitten: "Tian Tian, I was abrupt, but I don't regret it. I know this way of pursuing you is a bit domineering for you, but I'm serious about you. From the moment I decided to include you in my list of potential princesses, I never thought of letting go, so you are destined to be my woman."
As the sun gradually climbed higher, it filtered through the giant trees beside the practice field, casting dappled light onto the two figures embracing each other.
The scattered kunai on the ground, the soft rustling of vines outside the courtyard wall, and the occasional clinking of ninja tools in the distance all served as the backdrop for this sweet atmosphere, making the moment seem exceptionally peaceful and beautiful.
Tian Tian remained silent in his arms for a long time, the shyness in her eyes still lingering. Finally, she struggled to lift her head and whispered the question in her heart: "But...but everyone says that you have many women around you, and already seventeen princesses. I...I'm afraid I'm just one of them, and I won't win your heart..."
As he finished speaking, a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes.
Before she could finish speaking, Uchiha Mitsunaga gently pinched her cheek and then planted a deep kiss on her forehead: "Others are others, and you are you. In my eyes, every queen has her own special favor, and I will not let you suffer the slightest grievance. Give me a chance to show you my true feelings, okay?"
Looking into the sincerity in his deep eyes every day, I recall the clear "Lovers" card from my morning divination.
She nodded gently, a sweet smile spreading across her face: "I...I understand."
Upon receiving her response, a dazzling light instantly shone in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes. He carefully set her down, but still held her hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, unwilling to let go even slightly.
"Tian Tian, since you've agreed, from today onwards, you are officially my woman."
His tone carried a hint of domineering joy as he looked down at her flushed cheeks, his eyes filled with doting affection: "I'll have your things moved to the palace. From now on, you'll live by my side so I can take care of you. You're not good at managing money and lack adaptability. With me here, no one can bully you."
Tian Tian's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks flushed, but a secret anticipation rose within her: "Huh? Moving now? This... isn't it... too rushed...? I haven't packed my things yet, and..."
