Upon hearing that.
Lu Ran’s eyes widened imdiately.
"What did you say?" Lu Ran countered.
Doing such despicable things and still daring to boast?
Lu Ran was about to show them why flowers are so red right then and there!
But at the critical mont.
He was pulled back by Nanami.
Nanami shook her head at Lu Ran, pulling him away.
The mber of the Blood Alliance smirked and said, "If it weren’t for sticking to the plan, I’d throw you into the Forbidden Sea right now, damn it! Just you wait, I’ve got my eye on you!"
Lu Ran and others, who were pulled away.
Were not far off, but still distanced from those barrels.
"Why are you pulling back?" Lu Ran frowned and asked.
"We haven’t figured out what’s really going on yet, don’t be rash, let’s see how things unfold," Nanami said to Lu Ran.
"What else is there to figure out? It’s pretty obvious the Blood Alliance is up to sothing. As a National Hero, I can’t just ignore these ordinary Professionals from Longxia, can I?" Lu Ran asked.
Currently, Lu Ran seed quite aware of his duties.
And indeed.
Before having this identity, Lu Ran actually didn’t have a strong sense of belonging.
Of course, his hatred for Sakura was undeniable.
No matter where Lu Ran was from, Sakura was a target that had to be destroyed!
But now, with the National Hero identity backing him up.
With the country supporting him from behind.
The selfless acceptance of him by the Four Major Guilds.
The ticulous care from Liu Xinxin and others.
Lu Ran suddenly felt as if he had gained sothing, his shoulders seed heavier.
Was it responsibility?
Maybe.
But Lu Ran didn’t reject this feeling; instead, he felt excited about the upcoming national war.
Now.
Clearly sensing sothing was wrong, Lu Ran wanted to intervene, but Nanami stopped him, which made him a little annoyed.
"I know you’re a National Hero and that you want to save those people, but it’s not the right ti yet, you understand?" Nanami said.
Lu Ran wasn’t slow-witted.
He instantly understood what Nanami ant.
At that mont.
Lu Ran even felt the strange mindset from Shen Man and Liu Xinxin in Nanami.
Moreover.
The investigation indeed wasn’t thorough yet, there was no rush.
With Lu Ran’s capabilities, once the investigation is clear and the Blood Alliance mbers are fully exposed, he could take them down all at once, perfectly!
"Alright, let’s see how it goes," Lu Ran nodded.
Nanami was also relieved.
She said, "There’s no need to be hostile toward ; I can’t keep anything from you now. I’m not soone who takes things lying down. I need to change, I must change. I want to survive, it has nothing to do with Sakura. Since I’ve followed you, naturally, I have to think for you. You should know that I’m telling the truth."
No hiding!
No way to hide.
Because if she lied, Yamata no Orochi would interfere.
Don’t forget, Nanami’s soul is in the hands of Yamata no Orochi!
Lu Ran gazed at Nanami for a while.
He said, "Your performance is indeed good. What’s your goal? To break free from Yamata no Orochi’s control? With my current authority, I can command Yamata no Orochi to dissolve your reaction contract, but it depends on your future performance."
Subconsciously.
Nanami’s eyes lit up suddenly but then dimd.
She shook her head and said, "No need, you’re not what I originally imagined, and you’re different from others. If Yamata no Orochi releases the contract, you might not trust as much. It’s better this way; I’m at peace with it. There’s nothing wrong with this."
After she said that, she shrugged.
The reasoning was simple; she just needed to obediently listen, think for Lu Ran, and serve him. Everything would be fine.
Nothing difficult, no pain, and no endurance of sorts.
After all, even any thought can’t be hidden from Yamata no Orochi.
This way, Lu Ran can fully control Nanami’s thoughts, which is actually most beneficial for her.
"You seem to be at peace with it. By the way, what did you originally imagine to be like?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
He was genuinely curious, not just asking for the sake of it.
Upon hearing this.
Nanami’s cheeks suddenly blushed.
She stamred, "Do I have to say it?"
Lu Ran shrugged and said, "I’m curious, so you might as well say. Because even if you don’t, Yamata no Orochi can know your thoughts."
That was true.
Nanami shot Lu Ran a resentful glance before saying quietly, "While I was in Sakura, there was sothing that always troubled . I’ve never dated anyone, and my body has never been touched by others, but I am a normal woman. I sotis think about these things. Many people covet my body--Shintoism, various Shrines, countless of them--but since I never trust anyone, I never capitulate."
Lu Ran nodded.
Indeed.
Not to ntion anything else, Nanami’s appearance and figure were absolutely stunning!
Any normal man would have thoughts.
Lu Ran subconsciously glanced at Nanami’s body, but unfortunately, the cloak covered it, revealing nothing.
But...
What does this have to do with ?
Wasn’t the question about what you previously thought I was like?
Nanami then continued, "Originally, I thought you were one of those people too. After all, too many covet my body. And you can completely control my actions, will, even life and death. In front of you, I couldn’t even commit suicide. Yamata no Orochi would stop , and that would be a hellish life!"
Ah?
Lu Ran’s eyes widened, but then he quickly reacted.
He said in astonishnt, "I see! No wonder the things you said initially were so bizarre. But don’t think I’m a monk without a shred of passion. It’s just that I find it inappropriate, and forcing it ruins the fun. I honestly never thought about it that way. However, with you saying that now, hehe... it’s not a bad idea."
Nanami gave Lu Ran a speechless look.
She said, "You aren’t like that, I can tell. Throughout the ti spent with you, actually... actually, if you wanted, I wouldn’t mind. It’s just that I’ve never experienced it before, so you’d have to be gentle."
Damn!
Who can withstand this!
Especially with Nanami looking at Lu Ran with flushed cheeks and speaking in a ghostly voice.
No normal person can withstand that.
Lu Ran swallowed.
He was about to say sothing when he suddenly caught Qin Wuyao glaring at him from the side.
Lu Ran suddenly felt a sense of guilty conscience.
He quickly coughed twice and said, "Forget it, there’s nothing going on."
Nanami was startled and her eyes showed a hint of disappointnt.
But the next second, she glanced at Qin Wuyao, smiled, and did not linger on that topic.
Lu Ran took a deep breath, avoiding Qin Wuyao’s gaze.
He said, "I have no idea where we are now. This ship is pretty fast."
His intention was to change the subject.
But as a result.
Song Chao checked his map and used his skills to assess their position.
He said in confusion, "How strange, we’ve veered off course."
