Chapter 517

As long as it was something Ren wanted, she only needed to give a command, and countless people would rush to deliver it before her.

Because of this, regarding the goods sold on the Kirigakure shopping street, Ren only looked at them because they were fresh; in reality, she had no need for them.

Because of her behavior of only shopping without buying, Mizunuki Ren had long since been blacklisted by the Kirigakure shopping street.

Ren had even earned the title of "Shopping Street Rampage Demon."

After all, what merchant could accept a customer who "only shops without buying"?

But for the merchants of Kirigakure, facing Mizunuki Ren, they truly couldn't afford to offend her...

Some people are born in Rome; this sentence is not false at all.

From the moment Mizunuki Ren was born, her status was destined to be different from ordinary people.

In the past, the status of being the daughter of the Third Mizukage allowed Mizunuki Ren to wantonly experience her "hobby."

Within the borders of Kirigakure, I'm afraid no one dared to make things difficult for the Mizukage's daughter to her face.

But at least at that time, Ren's actions could be considered "restrained," and the frequency of her shopping was maintained at once a month.

All the merchants could still accept it with a smile.

And after the Third Mizukage passed away, Mizunuki Ryosuke inherited the title of "Fourth Mizukage."

At the same time, Mizunuki Ren smoothly transitioned from "Mizukage's daughter" to "Mizukage's girlfriend."

Her status was not affected in the slightest; instead, it increased rather than decreased.

Mizunuki Ren's status within Kirigakure even once surpassed that of when the Third Mizukage was in power.

After all, the prestige of the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, during his tenure, and his level of control over the village, were simply incomparable to Ryosuke at this time.

Because of this, the frequency of Ren's shopping had gone from once a month to once every three days...

And this trend was still constantly rising.

As Mizunuki Ryosuke's only publicly acknowledged "main consort" in Kirigakure, I'm afraid no one dared to provoke Mizunuki Ren.

Toward Ren, Mizunuki Ryosuke had always shown only deep affection; he would do his best to satisfy all of Ren's requests.

But Ren had a gentle personality and never took the initiative to make requests of Ryosuke.

But there was only one thing: Ren would not only bring it up, but would bring it up repeatedly, and Mizunuki Ryosuke would rack his brains thinking of excuses to decline.

Needless to say, this thing was naturally—shopping!

Everyone around Ren, from her mother Mizunuki Liuhua to many young girls of the Mizunuki clan...

Upon facing Mizunuki Ren's request to "go shopping together," all of them would change color at the mention of it.

And at this moment, looking at Mizunuki Ren's eager, bright eyes, Ryosuke wanted to refuse but truly couldn't bear to.

But unfortunately, he really had things to do today; no matter what, he could only refuse Ren's request.

"Sorry, Ren."

"I have to meet the envoys from Kumogakure today; I really can't spare the time."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a hint of apology.

News had come from the Ninja Cat Hospital that Bee's body had recovered to the point where he could move normally, so he had to meet the Cloud Ninja trio as soon as possible to push the plan forward.

"Is that so..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ren's black-and-white eyes, but soon she seemed to think of something.

"Then..."

"Can you take me with you?"

"Among the envoys from Kumogakure, is there a girl with short golden hair?"

Ren said cautiously, a hint of expectation on her face.

"Hmm? How do you know?"

"Among the envoys from Kumogakure, there is indeed a golden-haired girl named Samui."

Mizunuki Ryosuke raised an eyebrow, looking at Ren before him with a hint of suspicion.

"It was that day..."

Immediately, Mizunuki Ren simply told Ryosuke the situation of her meeting with Samui from beginning to end...

Hearing this, Ryosuke's expression was somewhat strange.

He hadn't expected that Ren and Samui would have such a connection, nor had he expected that someone could actually endure Ren's way of "shopping."

"I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Ren said again with expectation, looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke with an expression like a little puppy left at home by its owner.

Seeing this, Ryosuke's heart softened immediately. Just as Ryosuke was about to give Ren an answer...

"Ren, you cannot trouble Ryosuke."

At this moment, Liuhua, who had been hidden for a long time, suddenly appeared beside the two and admonished Ren in a serious tone.

As the wife of the previous Mizukage, Liuhua deeply understood that a qualified Mizukage's wife could not interfere with political matters at will.

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ren's eyes.

"Understood, Mother."

Ren was not a willful or unruly girl; after hearing Liuhua's admonition, she naturally knew that her behavior seemed to lack a sense of propriety.

Seeing this situation, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Mizunuki Liuhua on the side with a look that was half-smile, half-serious; after their gazes met briefly in the air, they immediately looked away.

For some reason, after Liuhua saw Ryosuke's gaze, her milky-white skin also became slightly flushed, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, which was originally full of dignity and maternal love.

Before, when Ren said she wanted to "go shopping," Liuhua had avoided her, disappearing without a trace.

And now, when Ren talked about following Mizunuki Ryosuke to meet the Cloud Ninja envoys, Liuhua had suddenly appeared to stop Ren.

The hidden meaning in this was enough to explain the problem; even as Ren's biological mother, Liuhua also somewhat avoided Ren's way of "shopping."

For no other reason than that every time she thought of the strange looks from the clerks on the shopping street when accompanying her daughter to "shop without buying," Liuhua felt her cheeks heat up.

Recalling the meaning in Ryosuke's gaze just now, Liuhua's expression became even more embarrassed.

Her way of doing things didn't seem like that of a steady mother figure either...

"It's fine, Aunt Liuhua."

"Just let Ren come with me; I have a sense of propriety."

To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke just smiled gently and said to Ren and Liuhua before him.

"Really?!"

Ren, who had thought there was no chance, was overjoyed and hugged Ryosuke excitedly.

"Of course."

Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled and patted Ren's head, full of doting. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
