At the same time.
In Sakura.
Inside a dimly lit room of the Shinto shrine.
Nanami was sitting on the sofa, offering today’s resources to Yamata no Orochi.
Then.
Several high-ranking members of the Shinto shrine and the China Shrine walked in from outside.
The room itself was spacious and luxuriously decorated, but Nanami had drawn the curtains on all the windows tightly shut.
Ever since Nanami had reverse-contracted Yamata no Orochi, she seemed to have developed a liking for dark environments.
Although the group who arrived didn’t enjoy the dim setting, they didn’t dare to say anything.
“Nanami, have you offered all of today’s resources?” someone asked.
“Mm…” Nanami responded.
“Isn’t that too much? The resources offered each day have been increasing, putting a huge strain on the national finances. Such greed, back when you…”
Before he could finish.
Nanami’s cold gaze swept over him.
The man immediately fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room grew somewhat oppressive.
Just then, someone tried to change the subject and asked, “How’s the application to enter Dragon Country coming along?”
Nanami shook her head.
This answer wasn’t surprising.
“Ah, applying to enter Dragon Country requires Yu Qingcang’s personal approval. Without Yu Qingcang’s consent, it’s really difficult to get into Dragon Country.”
“Back then, Yu Qingcang chose to block Dragon Country’s cross-border teleportation and disable cross-border communications, probably because of that necromancer.”
“Given this situation, there’s no way Yu Qingcang would easily approve your application.”
…
Hearing this.
Nanami mused, “That just proves that the Dragon Country officials, or at least Yu Qingcang, know that necromancer.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
Someone interjected, “Actually, I don’t think it’s really necessary to enter Dragon Country…”
“What nonsense are you talking!” Nanami snapped angrily.
Although Nanami was the divine child of the Shinto shrine, the other person held a higher status.
The old Nanami wouldn’t have dared to be so disrespectful.
But now.
At the slightest disagreement, she would directly reprimand them. The man’s face darkened, yet he dared not argue.
Behind Nanami stood Yamata no Orochi!
“I didn’t care about that necromancer before, since he only had strong personal combat ability. But the appearance of the Elven Wings, do you know what that means?” Nanami asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces instantly turned gloomy and extremely unpleasant.
The appearance of the Elven Wings had caused a storm not only in Sakura but globally!
Leaving aside its incredibly powerful attributes.
The skill it came with was simply heaven-defying!
It could directly summon an army of elves to aid in battle!
“Although we don’t know the exact combat strength of that elf race, it’s definitely not insignificant.”
“Even if it’s just a few hundred thousand elves, the impact on a national war would be enormous!”
“I must enter Dragon Country and kill him to eliminate future trouble!”
…
Nanami spoke through gritted teeth.
In the past, Nanami wouldn’t have dared.
A necromancer who could storm up to the seventieth floor of the Endless Tower, with such terrifying personal combat power, she couldn’t beat him!
Going would just be suicide!
But now, she has Yamata no Orochi!
Although Yamata no Orochi is controlling Nanami, as long as enough resources are offered, Yamata no Orochi will follow Nanami into battle!
“But, Yu Qingcang will most likely not approve the entry application,” someone said worriedly.
“If he doesn’t approve, it doesn’t matter. I’ll cross the Forbidden Sea. No matter what, I will enter Dragon Country!” Nanami said, narrowing her eyes.
“The Forbidden Sea! That… isn’t that too dangerous?” someone blurted out instinctively.
“Yamata no Orochi is originally a sea beast. In the Forbidden Sea, I have no worries. As for Dragon Country, as long as I can get in, do you think that with Dragon Country’s current professional combat power, even that necromancer, can kill me?” Nanami asked, raising an eyebrow, her face full of confidence.
“That’s true, that’s true. Then shall we wait a bit longer? Wait and see what Yu Qingcang says? See if he’ll approve your entry application,” someone chimed in.
Nanami nodded.
She said, “I’ll wait another hour. If Yu Qingcang still doesn’t process it, I’ll cross the Forbidden Sea.”
Confidence is a good thing.
With Yamata no Orochi, it’s understandable that Nanami is this full of herself.
After all, at the current stage of direct professional combat power, Yamata no Orochi absolutely crushes everything!
Unfortunately for her.
Nanami could never have imagined that Yamata no Orochi, being a dark-type shikigami, would never be able to return to Sakura the moment it saw Lu Ran.
And Nanami, controlled by Yamata no Orochi, would then be indirectly completely controlled by Lu Ran!
This time, whether Nanami enters Dragon Country through an approved entry application teleportation or sneaks in across the Forbidden Sea.
As long as she sees Lu Ran, this trip will be one way!
“We must be careful. That necromancer has the Elven Wings and can summon elves to help. An army of hundreds of thousands of elf warriors, even Yamata no Orochi, couldn’t withstand that, right?” someone advised.
“Of course,” Nanami nodded.
Although she was full of herself, she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she was invincible.
Hundreds of thousands of elf troops focusing their attacks on Yamata no Orochi – even it couldn’t handle that!
And if Yamata no Orochi were killed, Nanami would die too!
“But… do you think that necromancer would have the chance to summon an elf army in front of me? Even considering his Hades Crystal Skull’s Yin-Yang Realm passive, I can kill him twice! And he simply won’t have time to summon the elves. Even if he got the chance, after killing him, the elves couldn’t stop me! Once I find him, he’s definitely dead!” Nanami said with a cold laugh.
She didn’t take the Elven Wings’ skill seriously at all.
Summoning an elf army has a huge impact on national wars, but in one-on-one combat, Nanami was confident that with Yamata no Orochi, she could instantly crush that necromancer!
It was a beautiful dream.
Hearing this, the others found it hard to say anything more.
And just at that moment.
Nanami suddenly paused, then widened her eyes in surprise.
“Yu Qingcang approved my entry application?” Nanami was extremely astonished.
This was a bit weird!
Since Yu Qingcang was so protective of that necromancer, and now on the very day after the Elven Wings appeared, Nanami applied to enter – it was as clear as day what her intentions were.
Yet Yu Qingcang still approved the application?
What did that mean?
After a brief moment of shock, a surge of intense anger appeared on Nanami’s face!
Because there could only be one reason.
That Yu Qingcang looked down on Nanami, thinking that even if he let her in, she couldn’t accomplish anything!
So it didn’t matter whether she came in or not!
This kind of intangible disdain made Nanami, already irritable from being suppressed on the Endless Tower, even more irritable!
“Approved? This… this doesn’t seem right?”
“What is Yu Qingcang thinking?”
“There must be a trap. I feel like something’s off.”
“What’s there to fear? Entering Dragon Country as an envoy, Dragon Country wouldn’t dare do anything.”
…
Listening to their clamor.
Nanami stood up.
She declared, “What can Dragon Country do? With Yamata no Orochi here, no one can kill me!”
