The ninja slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lingfeng for a while. Perhaps he felt that Lingfeng had no ill intentions, so he gradually said, "I really don't know where the plane and the pilot went. As for how I got in here, I have no idea either."
Seeing the ninja starting to speak, Lingfeng's expression softened a bit, and he asked, "Do you want to return to that world?"
"Why would I want to go back to that world?" The ninja's tone was surprisingly calm. He looked up at the sky, which was beginning to darken, and sighed, "That world is too boring and lacks competition. This world is filled with magical colors and opponents, allowing my Ninjutsu to truly shine!"
Japanese ninjas do not exist merely for survival; they exist for battle. In their hearts, if there is no battle accompanying them, then ninjas are nothing more than useless decorations. Therefore, while training in Ninjutsu, they also cultivate a fighting spirit—a relentless spirit.
The ninja's words shocked Lingfeng. Although Lingfeng was born in the 1990s, he still knew that Japanese military officers and citizens were incredibly loyal to their country and emperor.
"Don't you miss your country?" Lingfeng asked curiously.
"Miss?" The ninja seemed to find it a great joke, sneering a few times before saying, "Why should I miss it? The Empire of Japan has already occupied China and will eventually become the world's hegemon, so I have no need to miss it. My mission has already been completed; the remaining time is for me to manage!"
"Occupied China?" Lingfeng sneered a few times but did not mention Japan's defeat.
"You still haven't told me how you came here," the ninja said in a low voice.
Lingfeng thought for a moment and felt that it wouldn't hurt to share his story, so he recounted how he arrived in the Cultivation Realm in detail.
The ninja seemed to have anticipated this and quietly listened until Lingfeng finished speaking.
The two fell silent for a while as darkness gradually enveloped the surroundings. Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao had grown tired from playing and stood quietly at a distance, observing Lingfeng and the ninja.
"Please don't tell anyone about my situation," the ninja stood up and earnestly requested.
Lingfeng gave the ninja a reassuring smile and stretched lazily, saying, "Why would I tell anyone? Will you continue following us or go back?"
"I will follow you because that is my mission."
A mysterious ninja had appeared by Lingfeng's side, and naturally, he was quite pleased. Not only could this ninja help him eliminate many troubles, but the fact that the ninja seemed to have no ulterior motives also made Lingfeng feel somewhat at ease.
"Since that's the case, you should tell me your name. By the way, my name is Five Elements!" Lingfeng introduced himself frankly and bowed to the ninja in accordance with Japanese customs.
The ninja was taken aback and felt an overwhelming sense of emotion. Although he repeatedly stated that he did not miss his hometown, the long-lost customs from home rekindled his feelings of nostalgia.
"My name is Nakamura Shirou, code name Invisible Ghost, so you can just call me Invisible Ghost from now on!" After introducing himself, Invisible Ghost also bowed to Lingfeng.
Jiao Jiao and Fei Fei looked at Lingfeng and Invisible Ghost bowing back and forth in disbelief, staring at the two in confusion.
"Sister, are the Five Elements Young Master and that strange person exchanging vows?" Jiao Jiao asked with her finger on her lips, genuinely curious.
Fei Fei looked at Lingfeng in shock, as if she were about to petrify, and said, "I-I don't know!"
The plain under the night sky resembled a black cave; without the moonlight, only a few stars dotted the sky. On the ground, a fire was slowly rising, with smoke curling up into the air.
Lingfeng, Fei Fei, Jiao Jiao, and Invisible Ghost sat around the campfire, roasting some animal meat over it while Lingfeng turned it. After being busy fighting with Snow Wolf earlier, their previous food had been burnt, so Invisible Ghost had personally caught some animals from the plain.
Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao sat awkwardly opposite Lingfeng and Invisible Ghost but did not look at them or react to the conversation between the two men.
"Fei Fei, Jiao Jiao, why aren't you talking?" Lingfeng asked in confusion when he noticed their prolonged silence.
The two simultaneously showed a hint of embarrassment and smiled at Lingfeng before falling silent again.
"It should be ready now!" Lingfeng took the Connecting Rod out of the flames, pulled off a Rabbit Leg, sniffed it, nodded in satisfaction, and then tore off two more pieces to hand to Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao.
Jiao Jiao glanced at Fei Fei and quietly asked, "Should we take it?"
Fei Fei had a look of frustration on her face, trying hard not to glance at Rabbit Leg, but she couldn't help it.
"What happened to you two? Why aren't you talking?" Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Lingfeng couldn't help but ask with concern.
"You should give it to him first!" After a moment, Jiao Jiao pointed at Invisible Ghost and said.
Lingfeng was puzzled and handed the Connecting Rod to Invisible Ghost, saying, "You handle it!"
However, this action unexpectedly angered the silent Fei Fei. With a face full of rage, she suddenly shouted at Lingfeng, "Since you are already united as one, you should share some burdens! Why can't you even help with something as simple as picking meat? Is this the virtue of a man?"
Lingfeng was startled by Fei Fei's sudden outburst. After patiently listening to her reprimand, he realized that Fei Fei had misunderstood.
Ninja Invisible Ghost understood Fei Fei's meaning and suddenly turned crimson, instinctively moving a little away from Lingfeng while silently eating the rabbit meat.
Lingfeng was taken aback, looking at Invisible Ghost, then at Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao, before bursting into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you have any dignity as a man?" Fei Fei was still fuming.
After a while, Lingfeng finally calmed down and said with a smile to Fei Fei, "Fei Fei, I think you might have misunderstood. Why would two grown men be united as one?"
"We just saw you two bowing to each other. Does the straightforward Five Elements Young Master not want to admit it?" Jiao Jiao's tone had clearly softened a lot, though she still seemed somewhat intimidated by Lingfeng.
Only then did Lingfeng understand why Fei Fei had suddenly exploded in anger. He recalled that the people here held strong traditional values. Their concept of marriage still involved ceremonial bowing.
Realizing the reason behind the misunderstanding, Lingfeng explained, "Fei Fei, you really misunderstood. This Mr. Invisible Ghost and I are actually from the same hometown; that bowing just now was a form of etiquette!"
Compared to those from the Cultivation Realm, both Lingfeng and Invisible Ghost could be considered people from another world. Using the term "hometown" to describe their relationship was not an exaggeration.
"Is there still such a custom?" Fei Fei suddenly felt a bit incredulous, not expecting that someone would take the wedding ceremony as part of daily etiquette.
"I remember that after Invisible Ghost was rescued, he also bowed to Hezi to express his gratitude!" Jiao Jiao thought for a moment and said.
Fei Fei fell silent, feeling a bit shy as she glanced at Lingfeng and then at Invisible Ghost, before quietly starting to eat the Rabbit Leg.
That night, Lingfeng cast a Spell and set up a fire circle around them to prevent fierce beasts from launching surprise attacks. Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao lay on Lingfeng's clothes and quietly fell asleep.
Invisible Ghost, being a ninja, didn't care about the external conditions and simply lay on the ground. However, judging by the frequency of his breathing, it was clear he wasn't in deep sleep.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual around, Lingfeng sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate. As the night wore on, the air gradually became chilly, and Lingfeng woke up from his meditation.
"The fire is out!" Lingfeng took out a Firecracker and gently blew on it. A spark flashed, illuminating the area around him. Then Lingfeng cast another Spell to set up a fire circle once more.
Just as he was about to begin his Cultivation, a black shadow suddenly flashed past the outer edge of the fire circle and disappeared into the depths of the plain in an instant.
Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, but there was no sign of movement.
"What was that? Its speed is so fast that even Adapt to the Qi Field couldn't sense its presence!" Lingfeng thought in astonishment, quickly preparing himself for any potential danger.
"What happened?" Invisible Ghost noticed that Lingfeng had not fallen asleep for a while and stood up as well.
"Nothing, just rest," Lingfeng replied before sitting down again to meditate.
It was already late at night, and the flames could last until morning. Of course, Lingfeng didn't need to get up again to use Fire Control Technique to set up a defensive fire circle; however, he still felt an odd sensation in his heart. That feeling made Lingfeng uneasy, preventing him from entering meditation properly.
After a while, Invisible Ghost moved slightly, seemingly looking up at everyone.
Lingfeng did not enter, but remained unresponsive, simply closing his eyes to sense the reactions of the Invisible Ghost.
After a while, the Invisible Ghost seemed to feel safe, slowly getting up, and then there was no more sound.
In fact, Lingfeng had already made preparations. Through Adapt to the Qi Field, he sensed that the Invisible Ghost had quietly left before he used the Earth Escape Technique to silently disappear from his original spot.
Although the plain was very dark and Lingfeng could not see the position of the Invisible Ghost, he could still feel its direction through the subtle vibrations transmitted from the ground to underground.
After a short while, the vibrations on the ground disappeared.
Lingfeng took a deep breath and deliberately distanced himself before emerging from the ground. Through Adapt to the Qi Field, he surprisingly sensed the presence of two people.
Their conversation was quite subtle, but Lingfeng could still vaguely determine that they were speaking Japanese.
"Could they be two Japanese ninjas?" Lingfeng wondered. However, knowing they were not cultivators, he deliberately moved a bit closer.
But it was of no use; they were speaking pure Japanese, which Lingfeng could not understand at all.
"Could there be some hidden secrets? Otherwise, why would they be acting so sneakily?" Lingfeng pondered to himself.
