The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 228 Clothes...gradually slipping off!

A golden portal appeared inside the Water King's palace.

As soon as Uchiha Mitsunori stepped out, he staggered and barely managed to steady himself by bracing his hands against the wall.

After manipulating meteorites in space for a whole day, he had almost exhausted his chakra, and he felt weaker than ever before.

"It seems we must increase our chakra reserves as soon as possible, otherwise he really won't be able to afford the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan."

His Uzumaki Sage Body is still lacking some experience before it can be upgraded to the perfect level, at which point his chakra reserves will increase significantly again.

Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Uzumaki Megumi; her presence seemed to instantly soothe his anxiety.

Pushing open the door to the sleeping quarters, the luxurious lamps inside the palace emitted a soft, warm light.

Huiyi, dressed in a light red silk nightgown with delicate gold thread embroidery on the hem, was sitting on a soft couch reading a novel.

Hearing the door open, she looked up and said, "Sanfeng, you look terrible, and your breathing is very weak."

She quickly stepped forward and gently took her husband's arm with both hands.

Uchiha Mitsunori took her hand and gently rested his head on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her soft hair: "It's nothing, I just used up too much chakra and I'm a little tired."

The orchid scent emanating from Huiyi's hair acted like a tranquilizer, relaxing his tense nerves.

He raised his head, his fingertips gently brushing the stray hairs on her cheek, his eyes full of seriousness: "Huiyi, for the next period of time, it may be hard for you... to accompany me in dual cultivation."

A slight blush rose on Huiyi's cheeks.

She tiptoed, gave him a gentle kiss, and smiled tenderly: "Silly boy, don't tell me you're tired. Rest on the soft couch for a while, I'll go make you a bowl of herbal soup to nourish your body."

She helped her husband sit on the soft couch before turning and walking toward the small kitchen in the inner palace, her steps quicker than usual.

Soon, the aroma of medicinal soup wafted from the kitchen, mixed with the sweet scent of honey.

Huiyi walked out carrying a white porcelain bowl, steam still rising from the rim.

She sat on the edge of the bed, carefully blew on the medicine, and then gently touched the rim of the bowl with her lips to make sure the temperature was just right before holding it to his lips: "Drink slowly, I added some honey, it's not bitter."

Uchiha Mitsunori drank the medicinal soup. The warm liquid slid down his throat and instantly turned into a warm current, flowing slowly through his depleted meridians, like parched land receiving sweet rain.

He quickly finished his medicine, reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her lips: "Huiyi, it's so good to have you here!"

Huiyi wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

Her chakra flowed slowly into her husband's body through the point where their lips met.

Like gentle flowing water, carrying the unique healing power of the Uzumaki clan, it gradually enveloped his weakened chakra, helping to untangle his disordered meridians.

Sensing her concern and love, Uchiha Mitsunori tightened his arms, pulling her even closer.

Their close gazes, their eyes filled with such sweetness they could melt hearts.

But just then, the door to the bedchamber was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

A small figure rushed in: "Mommy, I'm in!"

Karin, wearing a pink dress and holding her beloved fox plush toy, saw the two embracing on the tatami mat.

Her little lips immediately pouted so much they could hold an oil bottle, and her voice was filled with grievance: "Daddy! I want to sleep with Mommy and listen to her tell stories!"

Karin ran quickly to the soft tatami mat, grabbed Huiyi's sleeve, and tugged at it hard: "Mommy, I want to sleep with you and listen to your stories!"

Uchiha Mitsumine smiled helplessly and reached out to hug Karin, but she nimbly dodged him.

Karin peeked out from behind Huiyi, making a face: "Daddy's a bad guy! You said you'd play with me last time, but then you disappeared again, leaving me waiting all afternoon!"

Huiyi gently ruffled her daughter's red hair, her voice softening, "Karin, you're seven years old now, a big girl. You need to learn to sleep alone. Your dad and I have some important things to do, but tomorrow morning, Mommy will play with you, okay?"

"not good!"

Karin shook her head firmly and simply climbed onto the soft couch.

Squeezing between the two, she opened her arms and hugged Huiyi's neck like a little animal protecting its food: "I want Mommy now! If Daddy bullies Mommy again, I'll tell Aunt Sarah that you're taking Mommy from me!"

Uchiha Mitsumine looked at his daughter, her little face puffed up with anger, her eyes full of doting affection.

I've been quite busy lately and have indeed neglected Karin.

He reached out and gently pinched Xianglin's cheek, saying tenderly, "How about this? Daddy will play hide-and-seek with you for a while, I promise I won't cheat, and I'll let you be 'it.' After we're done playing, you can go back to your room and sleep. Tomorrow, Daddy will build a sandcastle with you, a sandcastle taller than you, okay?"

Karin's eyes lit up instantly, as if filled with starlight. She immediately let go of Huiyi's arm and jumped off the soft couch.

She grabbed her father's hand and ran towards the door, saying, "Okay! It's a deal! If you go back on your word, I'll draw a turtle on your face and tell all the aunties!"

Uchiha Mitsumine was pulled away by her, and when he turned back to look at Uzumaki Megumi, he smiled helplessly.

As Huiyi watched the two figures disappear through the door, her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Soon after, Karin's clear laughter rang out from outside the bedchamber: "Daddy, you're so slow! Hurry up! I'm about to catch you!"

Sanfeng added helplessly, "Don't run too fast, the corridor is slippery, be careful not to fall!"

Huiyi walked to the window and looked at the father and daughter chasing and playing under the streetlights in the courtyard, feeling a special warmth.

A dozen minutes passed quickly, and Karin was very happy. Holding her doll, she returned to her room accompanied by her maid.

After seeing his daughter off, Uchiha Mitsunori returned to his bedchamber.

He saw that Huiyi was sitting on the soft couch waiting for him, the warm light of the floor lamp illuminating her gentle profile.

He walked over and gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind: "Huiyi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Whirlpool Megumi leaned against him, closed her eyes, and felt his body temperature and breath.

"Don't overwork yourself. Even if it's for Karin's sake, for my sake, you have to take care of yourself. I don't want to see you so weak."

Uchiha Mitsunori hugged her tightly, savoring the fragrance of orchids emanating from her, and kissed her tenderly: "I promise I'll make time for you more often in the future."

Among the many princesses, Uzumaki Ei never competed or fought for anything.

But he knew in his heart that she also longed for him to spend more time with her.

He lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, then her lips, then her neck...down...

Huiyi and the whirlpool worked in perfect harmony... their clothes... gradually slipped off...

"Ding! The host and Daoist partner, Uzumaki Huiyi, have engaged in dual cultivation. Superior Uzumaki Immortal Body experience +50..."
