A deal with the first emperor?
That was true.
In the end, Xiang Yu was the most important thing. Only with Xiang Yu would Mustard Hinako feel at ease. If the first emperor had not given Xiang Yu to her, she would not have been able to stay here with such ease.
"That's fine."
Ryuga nodded thoughtfully.
"It just so happens that I need time, so I'll wait for a while. But I heard that after the Imaginative Tree is planted, it usually takes three months to grow. Should I give this to the first emperor in advance?"
"There's no need for that!"
Mustard Hinako was a little flustered.
"I have a way to ripen the Imaginative Tree. It won't be a problem for it to grow in a day! If you take out the Imaginative Tree now, my deal with the first emperor will be ruined! "
Was there a way to ripen the Imaginative Tree?
In that case, back in Russia's Anomaly Zone, Anastasia had also used a special method to ripen the Imaginative Tree in two days. It made sense that Mustard Hinako had a way.
"In that case, this is for you."
As Ryuga said this, she threw the Fusang Tree in her hand.
The branch drew an unnatural parabola in the air and then fell into Mustard Hinako's open arms.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take it and not recognize you?"
Mustard Hinako took the Fusang Tree and looked at Ryuga in disbelief.
"You're the one who should be afraid."
Ryuga looked at her calmly, her expression unhurried.
"Since I already know your purpose, as long as I tell the first emperor, you won't be able to escape."
Moreover, in this Anomaly Zone where there were no gods, his future was bright.
Mustard Hinako could not help but want to slap herself.
She knew that with this guy's cunning, he must have considered all aspects of the matter. That was why he returned the item to her so calmly.
If she could not even think of this, it was not unreasonable for her to be played in the palm of the other party's hand.
After finalizing the details of the cooperation, Ryuga turned and left.
"Phew … But this way, it makes no difference whether the Imaginative Tree is still in my hands or not."
Mustard Hinako looked at the Fusang Tree in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.
She couldn't resist Ryuga's plan. In the end, she still had to release the Tree of Imagination, accelerate its ripening, and let that fellow personally cut it down.
He could only hope that the guy would keep his promise in the end … Among the few places he mentioned, there were indeed very good choices.
"Hmm?"
Mustard Hinako looked down at the Fusang Tree in her hand, but then she frowned.
When he first obtained it, he didn't have the time to examine it carefully. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that it was indeed a treasure.
"That bastard didn't put the Tree of Imagination in there at all!"
Mustard Hinako roared angrily. Her face was filled with rage as if she was about to devour someone.
That was right.
She had obtained the Fusang Tree, but it was only the Fusang Tree.
The Tree of Imagination that she had placed inside had been taken away by Ryuga at some point in time. No, it should be said that he had only taken out the Fusang Tree in the beginning.
This was only natural. After all, only by holding the Tree of Imagination in his hand would he have the initiative.
Another string of vulgarities erupted in the bedroom.
…
After that, a few more days passed.
Ryuga had been in this world for more than a month. In the mission template at the bottom right of his view, the one-month travel time countdown had already returned to zero.
The first emperor needed time to study Shangri-La, Ryuga needed time to wait for the Mystic Dragon to wake up, and Mustard Hinako needed time to wait for Xiang Yu to be given to her.
Although she was very annoyed by Ryuga's cunning, Mustard Hinako didn't dare to provoke him. She was afraid that he would go back on his words and give the Tree of Imagination to the first emperor. Then, Lord Xiang Yu would become a pigeon that flew away.
Therefore, in these few days, a temporary peace was formed between the three parties.
During these few days, Ryuga basically had nothing to do. He just accompanied Musashi to play around in the Anomaly Zone. Because of the Flying Dragon as a means of transportation, the two of them went to all the famous mountains and rivers in the land of China.
Although it seemed that he was about to be expelled, in these few days, Musashi's figure seemed to be quite real. He didn't seem to have any intention of disappearing immediately.
In the blink of an eye, it was early May.
On this day, Mustard Hinako came to Ryuga.
She was accompanied by Xiang Yu.
"My deal with the first emperor has ended!"
Although many days had passed, Mustard Hinako's tone was still very harsh when she spoke to Ryuga.
Moreover, her eyes were filled with the desire to rebel. She was eager to try, as if she couldn't help but want to draw a line between them and tear up the cooperation contract.
Xiang Yu followed beside her. The two of them were inseparable. It seemed that the first emperor had passed the permanent use of Xiang Yu to Mustard Hinako.
If it was Ryuga, he would definitely leave a backdoor procedure on Xiang Yu.
However, with the first emperor's character, as long as you didn't cross his bottom line, he wouldn't go back on his words. Once he said that he would pass it on, he wouldn't leave anything behind.
Since Lord Xiang Yu was already in his hands, there was naturally no need for her to obey Ryuga, right?
"If that's the case, I'll give the Tree of Imagination to the first emperor now."
Ryuga stood up in the courtyard.
"This way, the first emperor won't suspect you."
Mustard Hinako was stunned.
Indeed, if she were to present the Tree of Imagination to the First Emperor, the First Emperor would definitely be displeased with her for concealing the truth. However, if Liu Xia were to do it, the First Emperor wouldn't suspect her.
After all, the first emperor didn't know that the Tree of Imagination was brought by the hidden ones. As long as Ryuga didn't say anything, the first emperor wouldn't suspect anything.
Could it be that this guy didn't put the Tree of Imagination in the Fusang Tree because he was thinking about her?
"After the Tree of Imagination takes root, you can go and ripen it in the name of helping."
While she was still in a daze, Ryuga reminded her again. Then, he left the courtyard and walked in the direction of the Holy Mechanical Body.
In the end, he was still thinking about efficiency. He felt that she could better ripen the Tree of Imagination without being suspected. If she was suspected, the first emperor would definitely interfere with her from various angles.
Mustard Hinako cursed, "Damn it!"
Xianyang City.
After seeing Ryuga's figure walking straight over, the Holy Mechanical Body took the initiative to lower a mobile platform for him to sit on. It moved in the direction of the center of the Holy Mechanical Body.
Half an hour later, Ryuga arrived at the hollow area and saw the Taiji Taoist temple at the end of the one-way wooden bridge.
"Oh, could it be that you've come to find me? Is there something you need?"
The first emperor's joyful voice sounded from the temple.
It seemed that he was in a good mood after finishing his research on the Elf's body.
However, after a while, his good mood was about to be shattered by Ryuga.
"I've been running around this world for the past few days and found this thing."
Ryuga took out the seed of the Tree of Imagination from the King's Treasure. The special life force instantly filled the hollow area.
