Chapter 73: Conversation (Please subscribe!!)

Hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Raiden Ei and the others were slightly stunned.

What was he trying to do?

However, after a moment of thought, Raiden Ei ultimately led the group to step back a little.

“Many thanks.”

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, then brought his hands together.

“Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!”

As Jiang Yan slammed one hand onto the ground, the surrounding seawater trembled, and countless trees surged from the surface of the sea toward the sky.

Before long, a brand-new, massive port had formed before Jiang Yan.

After all, the original port of Liyue Harbor had been created by Jiang Yan’s Wood Style, so creating another one was not difficult at all for him.

He generated the trees through Wood Style, then used Vector Manipulation to alter the shape of the wood.

Simple and easy!

“So... so amazing!”

Torachiyo stared with wide eyes, watching the other party build a port with such ease, her face full of shock.

“Just looking at construction alone, with this Immortal Lord here, it would be hard for Liyue not to prosper.”

Kitsune Saiguu’s tone held a hint of envy; one had to know that building Inazuma City back then had taken over a full year!

Raiden Ei watched the port Jiang Yan had forged in silence, her gaze flickering slightly, as if she were lost in thought.

As for Raiden Ei... ah, she was rather dense and hadn’t realized anything.

“Done.”

Jiang Yan stood up with a smile, clapped his hands, and directed the fleet in the distance:

“Dock here!”

Afterward, he turned to look at Raiden Ei and the others, his tone apologetic:

“I am truly sorry for slightly modifying your port.”

“I will restore the port to its original state when I leave.”

Raiden Ei shook her head upon hearing this and said with a smile:

“Your Excellency Tianquan has helped us build such a massive port; we are too grateful to even express it.”

As the group conversed, the warships slowly docked at the port Jiang Yan had established.

The soldiers on the warships walked off one by one, standing in formation after formation.

They stood perfectly straight, the Millelith spears in their hands emitting a sharp, cold glint.

A faint aura of baleful energy surrounded them.

Ever since the navy was established, Jiang Yan would occasionally have these soldiers go out to sea for drills, slaughtering the sea beasts in the waters near Liyue Harbor.

It could be said that the combat power of the Liyue Navy was on par with the army.

This group of Liyue naval soldiers stood silently in place; no one moved, and no one spoke a word.

The sharp aura radiating from them made the soldiers of the Inazuma Tenryou Commission feel a sense of dread.

Was this truly an army built by humans?

One must know that the current Tenryou Commission army was not the rotten-to-the-core Tenryou Commission of later generations.

The Tenryou Commission army at this time consisted of Inazuma’s elite troops!

It was just that they were slightly weaker compared to the army Jiang Yan had built using martial arts manuals and modern training methods.

“Alright, dismiss. Go and bring down the gifts we brought for Inazuma this time.”

Jiang Yan clapped his hands toward the soldiers behind him and said loudly.

“Yes!”

The Liyue naval soldiers slammed their spears onto the ground, producing a dull, heavy thud, and shouted in unison.

After all, this was a diplomatic visit from Liyue to Inazuma, and as participants, the soldiers had to demonstrate the military might of Liyue.

However, it was also very clear that this move by the Liyue Navy had formed a special kind of deterrence toward the Inazuma side.

Both Raiden Ei and Kitsune Saiguu wore solemn expressions on their faces.

Liyue had given them a show of force the moment they arrived!

It was truly somewhat uncomfortable.

And seeing Jiang Yan looking at them with a smile, Raiden Ei also revealed a wry smile.

“Truly... they come with ill intent...”

The Liyue Navy and the Tenryou Commission soldiers worked together to move the cargo from the ships, while Ei and the others led Jiang Yan to Inazuma City.

For a moment, buildings with a thick Japanese style appeared before Jiang Yan.

Although they were somewhat similar to the construction in Liyue, the houses here were generally lower.

Arriving at the Tenshukaku, Jiang Yan sat opposite Raiden Ei and the others.

The difference was that Raiden Ei and the others were kneeling, while Jiang Yan sat cross-legged.

It wasn’t that Jiang Yan didn’t want to do as the locals did.

It was just that he couldn’t quite accept this kneeling style of sitting.

However, Raiden Ei and the others didn’t mind that much.

After all, every country had its own customs, and they couldn’t force others to sit according to their requirements.

The conversation between Jiang Yan and Raiden Ei’s group went very smoothly.

Actually, it wasn’t anything major.

They were just discussing the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and some issues regarding mutual trade.

However, Raiden Ei and the others were in a difficult position regarding Jiang Yan’s proposal to use Mora for transactions.

After all, other matters were beneficial to them, but this issue of using Mora was the only exception.

As it concerned the economic issues of a nation, Raiden Ei did not easily give in on this.

Jiang Yan wasn’t in a hurry; he had only just arrived, and if everything were so easy to achieve, there would be no need for him to come over.

Although they didn’t reach an agreement in the trade talks, Raiden Ei and the others still warmly hosted Jiang Yan’s group that evening.

During the banquet, amidst the clinking of cups, a figure with a purple braid walked over.

.. 0 ...

“Lady Raiden, is there something the matter?”

Jiang Yan put down his wine cup and asked with a smile.

“You... come out with me for a moment.”

Raiden Ei’s expressionless face furrowed slightly as she said softly.

“Hmm... this tone, it’s Raiden Ei...”

Jiang Yan looked at her exquisite face with interest and said calmly:

“I wonder, Miss Raiden Ei, what business do you have with me?”

“You know me?”

Raiden Ei’s eyes widened; she remembered that she should have never revealed her name.

“Heh, I noticed your presence during the conversation at the Tenshukaku earlier.”

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

Because Raiden Ei was the shadow warrior, there was only one god, Raiden Ei, known to the public in Inazuma.

And as twins, Raiden Ei acted as the shadow of Ei, fighting on the battlefield for her.

“Since you know, that makes things easier.”

Raiden Ei approached Jiang Yan, and a faint, elegant fragrance drifted from her body into Jiang Yan’s nose.

Jiang Yan’s eyes flickered, but his face remained expressionless as he looked at her, waiting for her next words.

“Can you come out with me for a trip? After all, this is not the place to say such things.”

Looking at the people around them who were constantly watching them, Raiden Ei said with a slight frown.

“Fine, I’d like to see what business you have.”

Jiang Yan didn’t refuse this time, and under the gaze of everyone, he stood up and walked out with Raiden Ei.
