Chapter 204: A Title That Can Quiet a Child

After obtaining a compensation of twelve hundred million taels from the Daimyo, Qianshou Feijian and several others immediately left the Daimyo's Residence.

Watching the backs of those departing, the Daimyo felt his teeth itch with hatred and angrily threw the tea cup on the table onto the floor, venting his fury.

"Damned brat, damned Qianshou Feijian… I will never let you get away!"

He was forced to pay an astronomical compensation of up to twelve hundred million taels. This will surely spread quickly, and by then he will definitely become fodder for other Daimyos' dinner conversations.

These guys must die, especially that brat!

"Post a bounty of five hundred million; I want Qianshou Feijian and that brat dead!"

………….

"Lian Yejun, you are truly amazing!" Zhuan Qin Xiaochun Ren couldn't help but praise.

"I didn't expect you could get a twelve hundred million tael compensation from the Daimyo!" Yuanfei Rizhan showed a sigh of admiration.

If he were the one, he could only honestly accept the compensation amount the Daimyo proposed, at most adding a little more on top of that.

From one hundred million taels to two hundred million taels, like that…

It is utterly impossible to obtain a twelve hundred million tael compensation; that amount is something he wouldn't even dare to imagine.

"The Daimyo is so rich; why not let him pay a bit more?" Lian Ye said with a smile.

The Daimyo can spend two hundred million taels to place a bounty on Qianshou Feijian, proving he certainly doesn't lack money.

If he's not short of money, he definitely should treat everyone to a good feast!

The Cloud Hidden Village's war caused countless Konoha ninja casualties, requiring a lot of money to mitigate the war's damage.

The families of those dead or wounded ninja all need large sums of money for compensation.

Naturally, these funds must be provided by the Lord of Lightning Country.

The Fire Country Daimyo allocated limited funds to Konoha, and there were so many ninja who fell in battle.

As a result, the compensation each family receives is hardly any.

Especially those children forced into orphanhood because their parents died in war need money to sustain their lives.

The village's disbursement of compensation only covers meals, not even enough to buy a few pieces of clothing; this is the situation of most Konoha orphans.

Lian Ye, in the memories of his Original Body, knows the misery of orphans; even the Clan Orphan from a great family suffers the same, let alone children from ordinary families.

Their lives will only become more tragic…

Lian Ye wants to change this situation and improve the lives of orphans.

This is also the concrete reason he threatens the Daimyo.

"Kid, you did well!" Qianshou Feijian patted Lian Ye's shoulder, offering unreserved praise.

From the start, he was ready to tussle with the Lord of Lightning Country.

Gaining more compensation is not easy, and while he was pondering a strategy…

Lian Ye, however, stepped forward voluntarily, and after a round of talks, actually succeeded in obtaining a twelve hundred million tael compensation!

This kid completely exceeded his expectations.

"Lian Ye, I admit you are impressive." Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's expression was serious.

This was his first time admiring Lian Ye, and in his heart he had fully accepted him as the Hokage.

He lost with sincere admiration.

Only people like that can make the village develop better!

……

After leaving the Daimyo's Residence, they did not immediately choose to return to Konoha, but instead headed toward Cloud Hidden Village.

Because Qianshou Feijian still needed to sign the surrender document in Cloud Hidden Village, they set off directly for Cloud Hidden Village.

The Second Generation Raikage entered Lightning Country Territory and first returned to Cloud Hidden Village to draft the surrender document.

By now it should be ready.

……

Cloud Hidden Village.

The war had just ended, and bandaged ninja gathered in small groups on the streets, whispering about what they had witnessed on the battlefield.

"You don't know, the Konoha Deadly Poison Master's toxin is terrifying, almost no one can resist it!"

"Is it true? That's so exaggerated?!"

"Of course it's true; many adults accidentally got infected, then the poison manifested and they died on the battlefield."

In an instant, news about the "Konoha Deadly Poison Master" spread wildly through the village.

Elders in their seventies and eighties down to children of two or three years all learned of the "Konoha Deadly Poison Master" deeds.

Lian Ye's name and title had almost reached the level of being able to stop a child's night crying.

Ninja who have seen Lian Ye in person tremble all over whenever this matter is mentioned.

This is a case of battlefield trauma syndrome.

They were very relieved that the Konoha Deadly Poison Master's opponents had always been Jonin, leaving no time to deal with these Chunin.

As long as they don't step forward voluntarily, almost nothing will happen, unless they are truly unlucky and run into it.

It is precisely because of this that Cloud Hidden Chunin escaped a disaster.

Though they were not killed, the fear in their hearts grew day by day.

In Cloud Hidden Village there is a saying: a Chunin's chance of surviving an encounter with the Deadly Poison Master on the battlefield is higher than a Jonin's.

If you are a Chunin, don't panic, but if you are a Jonin, be careful; immediate retreat is advised!

Otherwise, only death awaits.

The rumors grew more absurd, eventually turning into the claim that whenever the Deadly Poison Master waves a hand, countless people will be poisoned to death…

Lian Ye has already been portrayed as a demon.

The once bustling Cloud Hidden Village fell into dead silence the moment the Konoha Delegation stepped through the village gate, and the entire street instantly became still.

The Cloud Hidden ninjas all looked up, their gazes landing on the black‑haired youth beside Qianshou Feijian.

"Is this… this guy…?" someone blurted, taking a step back, their voice trembling uncontrollably, "Konoha's Deadly Poison Master?!"

"Damn it, how did he get here!"

The atmosphere on the street suddenly tightened, and countless eyes fell on Lian Ye.

Resentment, fear, and awe… these emotions intertwined, almost turning into tangible murderous intent.

The Second Generation Raikage had previously instructed that the Konoha Delegation would come to Cloud Hidden Village to sign a peace treaty.

But they hadn't expected the Deadly Poison Master to come along!

Feeling the surrounding gazes, Lian Ye's mouth twitched slightly; do these guys really need to guard him as if against thieves?

He hasn't done anything yet.

Lian Ye didn't know that he had already become a presence in Cloud Hidden Village that could stop a child's night cries.

If he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.

Yuanfei Rizhan, walking at the rear of the formation, couldn't help but murmur, "It seems Lian Ye's 'battle record' on the Battlefield has left a deep impression on the people of Cloud Hidden…"

They are all comrades of Lian Ye, yet no one cares.

Whether ninja or civilian present, everyone's gaze fell on Lian Ye.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang snorted, "Five Shadow-levels have died, four of them are linked to him; it's no wonder they're remembered."

"Hello, everyone," Lian Ye waved at the distant crowd, flashing a friendly smile.

The instant Lian Ye raised his hand, the people present hurriedly recoiled in terror, fearing they might be contaminated by the Poison Liquid released by the Deadly Poison Master and be poisoned to death.

Lian Ye's friendly smile appeared to them as the grin of a demon whose scheme had succeeded.

Many even felt they had already been poisoned.

"It's over, I'm poisoned."

The crowd instantly erupted into chaos, scattering in all directions.

"Kid, did you just poison someone?" Qianshou Feijian's questioning voice came.

Lian Ye: "???"
