Chapter 373: Watatsumi Island's Sainted Soil! The actions of Chiyo and Asase Hibiki!

The so-called Sainted Soil phenomenon is just like water flowing to a lower place; the "spirit" of Watatsumi Island is being attracted by the abyss of Enkanomiya.

So the land is gradually turning white; if left alone, one day Watatsumi Island will become a desert as pale as moonlight.

By then, these high mountains and flowing waters, green grass and red flowers will all become fleeting clouds.

According to the traditions of Watatsumi Island, every few hundred years, when the spirit veins are flowing appropriately, one needs to unlock the barrier that blocks the connection between Enkanomiya and the Sangonomiya Shrine.

Then sneak into Enkanomiya and take out a Coral Jade Branch left behind by the Great Deity to suppress the Bathysmal Vishaps.

With the help of the Jade Branch to perform the Watatsumi Spirit-Offering Festival, the sunken "spirit" can be returned, curbing the erosion of the Sainted Soil.

Listening to the conversation between the shrine maiden Tsuyuko and Sangonomiya Kokomi, Hearing Luo Li thought about the information regarding the Sainted Soil.

This thing actually wasn't that troublesome; the people of Watatsumi Island couldn't solve it once and for all and needed to rely on the power of the Great Serpent Orobashi, which didn't mean he couldn't do it.

After the conversation ended, pondering the issue of the Sainted Soil, Kokomi rubbed her brow and said: "I have a rough understanding of the situation; you may withdraw first."

The shrine maiden Tsuyuko bowed respectfully and withdrew.

The situation had been reported, and how to solve it specifically would be left to Sangonomiya-sama.

Even if it was the Sainted Soil, she thought it shouldn't be able to stump her.

Because Kokomi had always appeared too perfect in the past, the people of Watatsumi had given her 100% trust, believing that any problem could be solved.

She hadn't shown much distress in front of her subordinates, but as soon as Tsuyuko left, Kokomi immediately made a bitter little face.

"In the midst of war, the choice of a hero is truly worrying."

To solve the problem, one must either bring back the Coral Jade Branch of the Watatsumi Great Deity or exterminate the Bathysmal Vishaps.

In the past, the Sangonomiya Shrine would send brave adventurers to sneak into Enkanomiya for trials; although there were losses, they had succeeded every time.

But that was based on the absence of external pressure; now, with internal and external troubles, where could she find a suitable hero?

Hearing Luo Li watched the girl peeking at him with little eyes while speaking, looking like she had something to say but stopped, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What, want me to help?"

Kokomi immediately denied it, speaking softly: "I wouldn't dare let Father take risks, it's just that your daughter might be busy for a while and won't be able to accompany Father, please forgive me."

The aggrieved little face was acted out vividly; those who didn't know would think she really felt that way.

However, in reality, this girl was purely using a tactic of retreating to advance.

It could only be said that she had indeed read a lot of military strategy.

Seeing Hearing Luo Li watching her performance calmly, Kokomi continued: "Tomorrow, your daughter will personally lead people to Enkanomiya to retrieve the Coral Jade Branch. The process is extremely dangerous, and perhaps your daughter will encounter an accident and never return. At that time, please do not be sad, Father."

"Your daughter will always love Father. This is the pearl shell I have worn since birth; please accept it, Father. In the future, seeing it will be like seeing your daughter. Watatsumi Island is also entrusted to you. I will announce this tomorrow."

Saying this, she might as well have stated clearly that she would never return once she left.

It made Hearing Luo Li want to laugh, but he also felt somewhat helpless.

Although it sounded like a bit of a "green tea" speech, if he remained unmoved, Kokomi would 100% do it.

That is, if she really didn't return, Watatsumi Island would truly be left for him to manage.

Betting the future on him, this convenient father she had just met.

This trust was simply rare. ===== CHAPTER 375 =====
