Chapter 388

As a result, the next moment she heard Paimon mutter softly: "Actually the same surname as Mr. Luo Li, how rare."

Hearing this surname in Inazuma was somewhat surprising; after all, she hadn't seen a second person with the surname Luo when she was in Liyue.

Could it be because of a taboo?

Knowing Luo Li's noble status, Paimon easily let her imagination run wild.

And she had no idea how much shock this sentence gave the two beauties before the god.

Chiyo was stunned on the spot.

Luo Li?!

Without a doubt, those two words had just popped out of that little creature's mouth, clear and distinct, without any discount.

They really knew Luo Li!

The origin of that jade pendant was not a guess, nor was it an illusion!

The one with the surname Luo on Watatsumi Island that Gorou spoke of—Her Excellency Sangonomiya's father was Luo Li!

Her brain felt as if it had been heavily knocked by something; Chiyo was dizzy at this moment and couldn't organize a coherent thought at all.

Instead, Asase Hibiki was the first to ask impatiently: "What does the Mr. Luo Li you know look like? Please, you must tell me!"

Lumine and Paimon saw the drastic change in the two women's faces, looked at each other, and their expressions were quite strange.

They seemed to have seen this scene somewhere before.

Paimon asked curiously: "Do you know Mr. Luo Li too?"

"Of course! Please tell me what he looks like?!"

At this time, Chiyo finally woke up from her dizzy state, her tone urgent and, for the first time, carrying a plea.

She was a war-ghost who had roamed Inazuma for a thousand years; when had her tone ever become so humble?

Lumine scratched her cheek; fortunately, she hadn't picked up the bad habit of being a riddle-maker and answered quite straightforwardly.

"How should I put it? Mr. Luo Li gives people a kind of demonic charm as if he were cursed; any woman cannot help but develop a good impression of him, even me."

"Besides that, he often wears blue-black fine robes and hangs a jade pendant. As for his appearance..."

Lumine recalled bit by bit; and don't say, once she thought of Mr. Luo Li's face, even her heart beat a little faster.

That was a charm that transcended mortal cognition, more like a constraint on some rule.

As the blonde girl gradually added more, Chiyo even pinched her fingertips until they turned white, staring blankly in a daze.

The young man who had been buried in the depths of her memory gradually emerged and completely overlapped with the description of the other party.

Asase Hibiki was no better off, her gaze filled with trance and joy.

"It really is Teacher..."

The two women were now one hundred percent certain that the so-called Luo Li mentioned by this wanted Traveler was the young man they had admired for hundreds of years.

Feeling that what Lumine said might not be enough, Paimon added: "Right, he is always surrounded by many women. You must be careful; you must not be bewitched by him, otherwise, it will be miserable."

This was advice from a senior!

Chiyo and Asase Hibiki took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement overflowing from their hearts, and spoke almost in unison.

"Let's set off now, head to Watatsumi Island!"

Lumine said in surprise: "Eh, don't you need to rest? I just heard that your training of the soldiers took..."

Before she could finish, she was forcibly pulled out of the base camp tent by the two women...

"Hey! Slow down, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Paimon hurriedly followed.

…………

Watatsumi Island!

Sangonomiya!

The palace, adorned with prosperity and pearls, was exceptionally beautiful.

At this moment, above the main hall, Sangonomiya Kokomi, who usually should have been snuggling in his arms acting spoiled, was listening intently to the report of her subordinates below.

"Reporting to Her Excellency Sangonomiya, recently there has been an unknown thing circulating among the lower ranks of the Resistance. Those who use it become extremely powerful and gain the ability to manipulate elemental energy, beating the Shogunate army back step by step. However, the subordinate discovered that the more it is used, the greater the damage caused to the user!"

A general reported with a grave expression, spreading out the "object" that emitted an ominous glow in his hand, and stepped aside to reveal a middle-aged man with graying hair and a haggard expression next to him.

Kokomi frowned slightly and said: "He is..."

"This is Xiaowu. He joined the Resistance less than three months ago. He was originally only eighteen years old, but because of that thing, he has become like this."

"What?"

Kokomi couldn't help but exclaim; she simply couldn't connect the eighteen-year-old boy with the forty or fifty-year-old man before her.

What an unbelievable thing this was.

"5.0 Are there many such cases?" Sensing something was wrong immediately, she asked hurriedly.

"Reporting to Her Excellency Sangonomiya, because there was no precaution, dozens or hundreds of people have already suffered this disaster, and there are even more who don't know."

"There are actually so many." Kokomi murmured, then gave an emergency order: "Inform the soldiers below to confiscate that thing; it cannot be allowed to spread any further."

Using the soldiers' lives to block and repel the Shogunate army—Kokomi could absolutely not accept this.

"And, ask the soldiers about the origin of this thing; it must be tracked down."

Joining three months ago and only becoming popular recently meant it had probably been less than a month.

One month, exhausting decades of lifespan—it was simply chilling.

Just what kind of evil thing was it that required such a huge price. ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
