Azur Lane: Traveling through time and becoming a Siren!

Chapter 972 Talented Jiang

......

After Jiang Mengyue left.

Nagato and Kotengo were still savoring what had just happened.

Don't get the wrong idea, it wasn't the scene where she was completely naked.

Rather, it was when "holy light" soared into the sky.

For a moment, Nagato even had a slight illusion, wondering if he had ascended to godhood.

Power filled my body, bathed in that white light, my senses, cognition, and thoughts were amplified infinitely.

It's like being filled up...

To prevent other ship girls from getting hurt, she reacted quickly and used her power to protect the others.

As the white light faded, this power slowly drained from her body.

Nagato was all too familiar with this feeling.

Normally, once the ritual is over, the energy simply dissipates.

Then she can go back to being herself again.

As for Xiaotiancheng, he didn't sense anything.

She was too inexperienced; she was too panicked at the time.

Logically speaking, Xiao Tiancheng shouldn't be in this state, after all, she is also Tiancheng.

But perhaps because he stayed with Jiang Mengyue for a few days, he became irritable and more childish, and his brain seemed to have "abandoned" itself.

It seems that Jiang Mengyue has infected him with intelligence.

Looking back now, Xiao Tiancheng felt a warm glow all over his body.

......

Afterwards, Nagato sent Jiang Feng to various parts of the shrine to appease the crowd and to take stock of any losses.

First of all, there's her pavilion.

Jiang Mengyue overturned the pavilion under the sacred tree.

Many of the fish in the surrounding pond that were too close to the pavilion also died.

The plants in and around the pond seemed greener and more robust, unlike what one would expect in winter.

Nagato looked around for a while.

Jiang Mengyue returned, having changed back into her everyday clothes.

However, her face was still a little red.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body? Does the termination of the ceremony mean it failed?"

Xiao Tiancheng asked with concern.

Jiang Mengyue shook her head slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Mengyue's body no longer radiated light.

Because Jiang Mengyue withdrew all that power and returned it to that "lump" of white, mysterious substance.

My body is empty again.

"The fatigue seems to have disappeared, but..."

Jiang Mengyue looked at her clothes. "The shrine maiden outfit you lent me is gone."

Xiao Tiancheng patted Jiang Mengyue's head. "It's good that you're alright."

......

Afterwards, Nagato asked Jiang Mengyue to sit down again.

She needs to re-examine Jiang Mengyue's body, since the accident happened here, and she still needs to help with the check-up and follow-up.

First, a physical examination was conducted. The termination of the ritual and the recent burst of "holy light" did not cause Jiang Mengyue any harm.

Then came the discovery of Nagato.

"You've already mastered control over it?"

Nagato looked at Jiang Mengyue with some surprise.

Jiang Mengyue, under her own control, would sometimes emit a white light and sometimes appear normal...

Xiao Tiancheng was also somewhat surprised, "Wow...you could call this talent..."

Nagato nodded slightly. "Logically speaking, after guidance, it should take half a month or even longer for someone to master this ability on their own..."

At this point, Nagato became envious.

Nagato suspected that Jiang Mengyue's power level was too high, which made it easy for him to control her.

Normally, no one has such a high level of energy that they glow!

I'll say it again, even the Sacred Tree can't do that!

This goddess, who stands at the top tier of Sakura Empire ship girls, possesses a power within her that is like a small stream, the kind that could dry up at any moment.

A ritual is needed to fulfill the function of the ditch and help with drainage.

As for Jiang Mengyue, Nagato believes that Jiang Mengyue has reached the level of a tsunami or the ocean.

Nagato felt she needed to calm herself down.

That's all for today's lesson... We're ending early.

"You prepare yourself, Xiao Tiancheng. This afternoon, you will help her review the basics a few more times."

"Tomorrow... I will teach you how to project your power outwards, to use it as your own weapon."

......

Afterwards, Nagato sat in the roofless pavilion with a complicated expression, watching the two little foxes walk further and further away.

I reckon the two little foxes had just left the shrine.

The sounds of playful banter could be heard outside the shrine.

"Ugh......"

Nagato let out a long sigh.

"Amagi, are you there...?"

Amagi appeared beside Nagato.

"Lord Nagato... I'm here. Thank you for your hard work."

Tiancheng was already watching secretly when Jiang Mengyue started acting strangely.

During the initial outbreak, Tiancheng also contributed by casting spells and using the Siren Shield to protect everyone.

Fortunately, Xiaotiancheng, Changmen, and Jiangfeng, who were in the very center, were unharmed.

She also breathed a sigh of relief.

As a former high-ranking official, Tiancheng guessed what Jiang Mengyue's condition meant.

That's a good thing, I suppose.

"The Lord has successfully taken the first step and is walking firmly on a broad road."

"Everything will be much easier from now on."

"I have witnessed Lord Nagato's efforts. In addition to the conditions I agreed to for Lord Nagato, I will also offer an extra gift to express my gratitude to Lord Nagato."

This was an unexpected surprise for Nagato.

My heart doesn't seem so tired anymore.

The two then sat down in the roofless pavilion.

They discussed Jiang Mengyue's current situation and the lessons for the next few days.

Nagato also inquired about things on the European continent.

This is different from what I told Jiang Mengyue back then.

Amagi's explanation to Nagato was: everything was under the Sirens' control, both in terms of the strange substance and the degree of control over the threat.

He also assured Nagato that the Sakura Empire would not be endangered.

There's no need to heed Donghuang's external warnings.

Amagi's guarantee is true, because if Marco Polo wanted to affect the Sakura Empire's homeland, he would have to set foot in the Eastern Empire first.

This is something Jiang Mengyue doesn't want to see, and naturally, it's something Tiancheng won't allow.
