Chapter 144: Arrogant at First, Respectful Later, Shinnako
About half a month later.
Nanxing, who was maneuvering the wooden boat, smoothly crossed the vast ocean and landed in a familiar place.
Instantly, I felt a cool breeze coming from the direction of the island.
It is early summer.
The weather on Shikoku Island has become hot.
But no matter where Nanxing goes, there will always be a cool breeze accompanying her, blowing away the restlessness of this summer.
——This is the benefit that [The Birthplace of Legends] brings to him.
In terms of level, the title of [Lord of Demons and Monsters] is of course one level higher than the title of [Lord of the Four Kingdoms].
But in terms of treatment, it is obvious that the [Lord of the Four Kingdoms] is better off.
Nanxing walked on this land, feeling the cheers and joy coming from the air around him, and the power surging from the land beneath his feet.
For a moment, he even thought about settling down here.
“That seems like a good idea.”
To be honest, Nanxing doesn't actually like Musashi.
It's very noisy and looks lively there, but there is no real human atmosphere.
In comparison, the population on Shikoku Island is not that large, not even as large as that of Edo Castle.
But the natural scenery on this island is beautiful enough to be called "pleasing to the eyes".
"Think of a way to persuade Kikyo to move to this island?"
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
But then he smiled and shook his head, giving up this idea which sounded unlikely to be realized.
He still knew about Kikyo.
That was a pretty independent woman.
She has her own way of doing things and basically never considers other people's suggestions.
Therefore, to make her move from the distant Musashi Province to the unfamiliar Shikoku Island without any reason... Forget it, it's better not to think of this as a real brother.
"Besides, the ninja village still needs to develop. Edo has a large population, which is conducive to spreading influence... As expected, it is too early to think about retiring now."
Nanxing also found a reason not to leave Edo Castle.
As for this reason, is it a real reason or just an excuse because he doesn't want to leave Kikyo?
I'm afraid only God knows.
……
Stepping onto the southern star of Shikoku Island, we headed towards the depths of the island.
He was already very familiar with the way to the Lost Bamboo Forest and no longer needed to rely on spatial coordinates to find the location.
Not to mention, the moon in the sky was a "beacon" he created himself.
——He believed that when he set foot on Shikoku Island, or even when he was about to head for Shikoku Island, Bayei Eirin and Kaguya Houraisan, who lived in the Lost Bamboo Forest, should have known his destination.
And this is indeed the case.
When Nanxing walked to a similar position, a lush green bamboo forest naturally appeared in front of him.
The white rabbit monster poked its head out from the bamboo forest and looked around curiously.
"Emperor Inaba!"
A surprised voice came from behind Nanxing.
This familiar voice startled Inaba-tei - and then, she resolutely tried to escape.
But alas, it was too late.
Kanako, who was extremely excited, jumped out from behind Nanxing and came behind Inaba Emperor, then hugged the rabbit monster tightly in her arms with a very skillful movement.
"Didi."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought I would never see you again... Why did you come here?"
"Let me see...you've lost weight due to hunger."
"Come back with me, I'll make you some delicious food and make sure you're plump and white!"
Kanako promised Emperor Inaba.
You can see that she really likes this rabbit.
In order to please the rabbit, he was even willing to give up his position as [Suwa Daimyojin] to her, making [Inaba's White Rabbit] the main deity of Suwa Taisha Shrine.
But Emperor Inaba didn't buy it at all.
"I don't……"
Doesn't she know Kanako yet?
Okuninushi had more than a dozen children.
The most mischievous one among them is Kanako.
Since she was a child, she has liked pulling rabbits' ears and tails.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Emperor Inaba left Izumo Province was partly because of Okuninushi's disappearance.
The other half was because she didn't want to see Kanako again, who was so stupid and put all her attribute points into combat.
"I'm here... pretty, pretty good."
Emperor Inaba found an opportunity, kicked his feet and broke free from Kanako's arms.
Then, he quickly ran to a position more than ten meters away from Kanako. After confirming that he was safe enough, he turned around and continued to communicate with Kanako.
But Kanako was a little angry.
"fine?"
"I do not believe!"
"Who is the owner of this place? I want to confront her face to face!"
"You are our rabbit, so you should come back with me."
She waved her hand and asked Emperor Inaba to take her to see the owner of this place.
His overbearing attitude is like that of a tyrant who is trying to force something to happen, and if he fails to get it, he will just take it by force.
However, this is normal.
Military gods are often unreasonable.
"The fist is the greatest truth."
This is probably a common characteristic of all military gods.
however--
"Well said."
Just when Kanako showed a heroic and high-spirited look.
Suddenly, a cold voice was heard in the quiet bamboo forest.
It was a white-haired woman.
Time has not left any traces on her face. No matter how much time has passed, her appearance has not changed at all.
"Ms. Eirin."
Nanxing greeted Bayi Yonglin happily.
But what he didn't expect was.
From beginning to end, Bayi Eirin's (damn) eyes were never on him.
Instead, he kept staring at Kanako, his eyes as sharp as an arrow.
At the same time, Kanako, who had been so arrogant just now, seemed to be suddenly immobilized by a spell.
She stood there, not daring to move, with a very forced smile on her face:
"Eight, eight Italian milk..."
The word "Grandma" has not yet been uttered.
Kanako suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis in front of her.
"You'll die. You'll die. If you say those two words, you'll definitely die, Joe!"
At the critical moment, the extraordinary intuition that only a fool can have takes effect:
"Oh, who did I think it was?"
"So it's the ever-young and beautiful Sister Yagi Eirin."
"I didn't expect you to live here - I feel relieved that this stupid rabbit is following you."
Chapter 145: No place is worse than your own doghouse
Yagi Eirin is not actually Yasaka Kanako's grandmother.
Because Yasaka Kanako's grandfather is Susanoo, who is of the same generation as Amaterasu Omikami.
The previous life of Yagi Eirin, the so-called [God of Wisdom] Yagi Kenmei, was a god even older than Amaterasu Omikami.
In other words, Yagi Eirin is actually of the same generation as Yasaka Kanako's great-grandmother.
Of course, Bayei Eirin also has something to say about these things.
“That was all many years ago.”
With a light flick of her finger, she cleared up all the karma from her past life.
——What is the relationship between the eight meanings and destiny and my eight meanings Yonglin?
Yasaka Kanako naturally nodded in agreement with this statement.
"Everything you said is right."
Her face was full of flattery, and she no longer had the heroic look of the big sister of the mountain goddess.
This gave Nanxing a new understanding of Bayi Yonglin's status in the divine world.
At the same time, on the other hand.
A frog god, who was actually about the same age as Yagi Eirin, suddenly became interested in the white rabbit monster.
"Are you the white rabbit that brings luck?"
Suwako Hashiya ran up to Emperor Inaba and looked at him with curiosity.
Emperor Inaba also looked at her.
The two of them, one squatting like a frog and the other squatting like a rabbit, both looked harmless, quite innocent and cute.
But the magical thing is that they can feel a very familiar aura coming from each other.
"It's the smell of a scam!"
Suwako Hashiya and Emperor Inaba reacted almost at the same time.
Then, a very "kind" smile, absolutely without any "bad intentions" appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Kaguya Suwako."
"Emperor Inaba."
They both gave their names at the same time.
Their hands were simply clasped together, like sisters who had not seen each other for many years.
"Do you like fishing? I can take you fishing."
"No, I don't... I prefer digging to fishing."
