Chapter 296: Dragon King Branch Upgrade
Outside the gate of Mt. Inari, Yuzuru Nagayama looked at the women who came to see him off, and suddenly changed his usual tone and spoke seriously.

"If you can't make it in Inari Shrine one day, you can come to me. Of course, the premise is that you haven't found a new man."

The women looked at each other in confusion, and before they could answer, a majestic goddess' voice sounded from Mount Inari.

"roll."

Then a divine arrow shot from a distance, and was barely caught by Nagayama Yuzuru with the Golden Light Curse. Although the divine arrow was caught, it still vibrated in the palm of his hand and tried to return to its owner. Sure enough, poaching in public should not be done openly, otherwise you can't blame others if you are beaten to death.

When Yuzuru Nagayama saw carefully that it was a sixth-level semi-divine weapon, he immediately said to Yu Yu.

"I'll return it to Lord Inari next time I visit. I'm leaving now."

At this time, the voice of Inari God came again.

"Give me back the arrow."

Yuzuru Nagayama used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and disappeared in front of the mountain gate, causing the Inari god who arrived two seconds later to stomp on his feet.

"Damn loach, return my feather arrow quickly, or you will be in trouble next time we meet."

The Inari God's spirit kept searching, but eventually returned to Inari Mountain in vain, and complained to Tamami who was traveling with him.

"The man you found is really abominable. Why didn't you stop him just now?"

Yu Yu replied calmly.

"Why should I stop him? This is a matter between you and him."

"."

At the same time, Yuzuru Nagayama had returned to the city, and at this moment an unexpected system prompt sounded.

"Ding, the Sanchuan Longjun branch has reached the upgrade requirements."

"It will cost 5 million gold coins and 350 incense points."

The Sanchuan branch has actually reached the upgraded level?
As Yuzuru Nagayama's consciousness merged into the panel of the Longjun branch, he could check the situation of each branch through the system.

There are three Dragon King branches, namely Sanchuan Dragon King Branch, Haidao Dragon King Branch, and Xueshan Dragon King Branch. Among them, Sanchuan Branch has met the upgrade conditions, and the upgrade progress of Haidao Branch has reached 10/9, and it is estimated that it will be upgraded in less than 10 days.

Only the branch in Hakkoda Snow Mountain is sparsely populated, and now not even one-third of the progress has been completed.

Yuzuru Nagayama used the system's God's perspective to check on the situation of the Mikawa branch.

Pushing aside the clouds above Mikawa, you can see from a high vantage point that the Ryukun Branch Shrine and the neighboring Mikawa Mountain God Shrine have merged into one. Both shrines enshrine Ryukun and Mikawa Mountain God.

The arrival of the extraordinary has led to an increase in the number of tourists. The number of people visiting the two shrines at the same time has reached hundreds, which is a lot of people for a mountain area.

As for the number of shrine maidens, it is also sufficient. Although a group of shrine maidens from the Mikawa branch stayed in the main shrine in Tokyo, the number of shrine maidens at the two Mikawa shrines has increased instead of decreased, reaching as many as 35.

There is one divine priestess, Haruna Takano, who is of fifth-level strength and is the chief steward of the two shrines. At the same time, the raccoon cat forces under her control have increased to more than 1 people, including two fifth-level clansmen.

There are two divine shrine maidens, one of whom is Hayami Konishi, who stood out during the training at the Tokyo gathering. After just a few months, she has reached the fourth level, leaving behind a group of talented A-level shrine maidens of the same period.

Another shrine maiden stunned Yuzuru Nagayama. She was Fujiwara Hayate, a third-tier shrine maiden, his sister-in-law, who would be living in Tokyo in two months. When did she sign the contract for a shrine maiden, and it was a contract for a shrine maiden.

The only possibility is the two contracts for divine shrine maidens held by Takano Haruna. This is a bit difficult to deal with. I wonder what Fujiwara Iori would think if he knew that his sister had also become a divine shrine maiden.

It seems that I should go to Sanchuan area to ask about my cheap sister-in-law and cheap mother-in-law (sister-in-law).

There are 6 official priestesses, 2 of them are at the third level and 4 of them are at the second level.

There are 26 apprentice priestesses, 1 14-year-old girl with third-level strength, Kuchiki Lei, 16 second-level ones, and 9 first-level ones.

In just a few months, the trembling witches have grown to a level where they can stand on their own. The reason why they grow so fast is not only the concentration of spiritual power and the cultivation method, but also the various witch enhancements.

After checking the changes in the branch, Yuzuru Nagayama chose to upgrade according to the system prompts. After the upgrade, the Ryukun Shrine seemed to have not changed, but the concentration of spiritual power had increased from 0.5 to 1 times.

接下来就是建筑的建造，2级神社多出10座1级建造名额，还有5座2级建筑。

Regarding the quota for level 2 buildings, it is still the old choice, which is the building with the best value for money.

Consume 2 million, incense 200 points

[Worship Hall (Level 300): ​​Worshippers can achieve the effect of calming the mind and soul and exorcising evil spirits when they visit. Curses below Level 150 can be exorcised, and the density of spiritual energy within the surrounding meters is increased by %. ]

The spiritual energy concentration of the branch is twice that of the outside world, which is comparable to a paradise. For example, Mt. Inari in Kyoto is no more than that. The next upgrade will be as usual.

Consume 1.5 million, incense 300 points

[Injection Rope Pillar (Level 2): ​​Generates a Level 5 barrier, and the overclocked state barely reaches the Level 7. ]

Cost 3 million, incense 150
[Demon Suppression Tower (Level 2): ​​A tower that imprisons and extracts the energy of monsters. 】

【Energy 80000】

[Level 0; 1/]

[Level 2: 5/]

[Level 23-Level 30: /]

[Level 50-Level 50: /]

It seems that Kaori Mikawa has captured a lot of monsters and stuffed them into the Monster Suppression Tower, which is already overloaded. Perhaps, like the main shrine, it has become a tool tower for them to recruit younger brothers.

Cost 1 million, incense 200
[Torii (Level 100): ​​The gate to the divine realm. Ghosts and monsters, as well as people with bad intentions, cannot enter. A sub-torii can be built for teleportation, with a distance of kilometers.]

【Child Torii: 0/2】

The two sub-torii gates were a timely relief for Yuzuru Nagayama. One torii gate was placed on the Kifune Shrine on Kuramayama, and the other was planned to be placed in Nagoya, next to the middle-level transmission torii gate of the Ryujun Shrine.

In this way, one can use the teleportation array to travel from Longjunjun Shrine to the Sanchuan area and even Kyoto without having to fly by oneself, which is of great strategic significance.

Cost 4 million, incense 500
[Shinto Tower (Level 2): ​​Can mobilize the power of incense from all Dragon King Shrines, generating a Dragon King Shinto in the sky that shuttles between the shrines.]

The speed reaches 1 kilometers per hour. It only takes a few minutes to get from Tokyo to Nara Prefecture, and the coverage distance of the incense power reaches kilometers, just covering Kyoto.

Next time you use the power of incense in Kyoto, you don’t have to worry about consuming extra power.

In addition to the five second-level shrine buildings, there are 10 first-level shrine buildings rising from the ground, such as the Kagura Hall, Tamahiro, the Miko's Residence, the Main Hall, and so on.

The sudden appearance of more than ten kinds of buildings immediately made the tourists in Mikawa Shrine excited. This was a miracle, the famous miracle of the Dragon King.

"Ding, devout believers +18"

"Ding, true believer +87" This time the upgrade of the shrine finally consumed all of Yuzuru Nagayama's incense power, so he didn't plan to hang out in Kyoto, but went back to Mount Kurama to check out the situation first.

In the western part of Mount Kurama, there is an antique courtyard villa. More than a hundred ghosts and monsters have gathered in the courtyard, including giant monsters that are tens of meters tall and monsters that are only a few centimeters.

The quality of this group of monsters is very high. The weakest monster is at the second level, and there are nearly 60 third-level monsters, more than 20 fourth-level monsters, 6 fifth-level monsters, and sixth-level monsters.

This is the number of monsters living within a few kilometers of Mount Kurama, and they are the followers that the two women have taken in in one day and one night. If you want to live in the mountainous area of ​​Kyoto with strong spiritual energy, you really can't survive without some strength.

Suddenly the group of monsters quieted down, and two stunning beauties, one red and one blue, walked into the scene as several female monsters scattered flower petals.

Hongye was wearing a red evening dress with maple leaf-shaped patterns on her exposed snowy back. The red on her face was even more beautiful, proving that she was in a very good mood.

Qingji changed her kimono into a blue evening gown, which made her sexy body look extremely beautiful.

The two women stood on the stage, one on the left and one on the right, like two unique and peerless precious flowers.

The monsters who had been waiting for a long time suddenly became excited.

"Red Leaf Leader"

"Chief Kiyohime"

"Red Leaf Leader"

"Chief Kiyohime"

Qingji and Hongye sat on two chairs on the platform, crossing their legs to present a seductive angle.

Hongye glanced at Qingji, who had a calm expression on her face. She was planning her own little plan in her heart, and invited her.

"Qingji, as the leader, you should speak first."

Qingji also looked at the other party without refusing, then stood up and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, now that things are changing, I hope to lead you in conquering the mountains of Kyoto and creating a kingdom fit for youkai."

The monsters were immediately in an uproar. Although there were many seventh-level monsters in the mountains of Kyoto, there were only two female leaders who dared to unite. No monster dared to create a monster kingdom under the eyes of humans.

"Chief Qingji said it well. The boundary wall has been cut down by establishing a monster kingdom. Why should we still abide by the agreement we once made with humans?"

"Establishing a Monster Nation" X99
After saying this, Qingji sat back in her chair, and Hongye also stood up at this time and asked the monsters who had been waiting for a long time.

"Have you all felt suffocated over the past few hundred years? You have been bound by human promises and you dare not even eat a livestock. Are you happy as a free monster?"

Hongye's words instantly struck a chord with many monsters. Although their strength increased rapidly in Kyoto, they still had to restrain themselves and dared not go beyond the line. Today, under the guidance of their leader, they suddenly exploded.

"unhappy"

"We want freedom."

The monster's noise was heard even in the distant Kurama Temple, which immediately made the monks uneasy and began to contact the neighboring Kifune Shrine. However, the feedback they received was that everything was under control, so the temple was temporarily relieved.

At this time, Hongye's speech continued. As a vicious woman who instigated monsters and bandits at the same time, she knew how to grasp the hearts of living beings, not to mention that she also inherited some abilities from her father, that is, bewitchment.

Under the instigation, more than 100 monsters shouted the name of the great leader Hongye, and Qingji unknowingly became the second leader. Qingji didn't care about this. Anyway, she knew that when the man came back, everything would be settled.

Hongye suddenly pointed in the direction of Kyoto with her skillful hands.

"Everyone, this former capital city will become our city of monsters, and the humans inside will be our slaves. Please follow me, I will be your queen and lead you to create our own glory."

Under the bewitching voices, the monsters finally fell into frenzy.

"Queen Red Leaf, we will follow you forever and ever."

Hongye smiled proudly. She liked this feeling, she liked the feeling of being in control and free. Her experience was actually quite different from the legend.

In the villa, two female monster leaders sat opposite each other, and Hongye suddenly asked.

"Qingji, do you know my past?"

Qingji frowned, unable to guess what the other person was thinking.

"I know your story is already well known."

Hongye said with a sweet smile.

"What if I told you that the beginning of the story was false."

"."

Soon the sound of Hongye telling a story could be heard in the room.

A long time ago, a girl named Ruoye was born in a landlord's family, and Hongye is Ruoye.

At that time, Hongye was so innocent that she had no idea that she was the reincarnation of the daughter of the Demon King. She was a famous beauty within hundreds of kilometers and she should have had a good life.

Unfortunately, her father didn't think so. He just wanted to train her to be a lady so that she could marry into a famous family. So her childhood memories were painful. Except for sleeping, she spent the whole day learning talents and women's virtues, and had no freedom to control herself.

Sometimes she felt that she was not her father's daughter, but just a tool, a tool to advance into a noble family. Any maid who dared to play with her would be executed. Her father only wanted a tool for a perfect marriage and did not need the girl to liberate her nature.

Originally, Hongye had her mother as a safe haven, but everything changed when she was 10 years old. Her mother finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take her away from her father, but she failed in the end.

Her mother was killed by her furious father in the red leaf forest, and she was taken back to the family by her father to continue training as a perfect bride. The only warmth left in her life at this time was her mother's dowry servants, an elderly couple, who were the only people in the family who cared about her.

Time flies. When Hongye was 14 years old, she became a stunning beauty. Even in the countryside, she was noticed by the nobles.

That year she was arranged to be engaged to an ugly nobleman in his fifties, who was lustful and cruel. However, no matter how bad the nobleman was, the man's surname had only one word, which was Ping.

It was also in that year that she awakened her magic and married a nobleman with Maple Leaf replacing herself.

Of course, such a thing could not be concealed at all. The great nobleman soon discovered that he had been deceived and came to his house. Under the threat of the great nobleman, her father's clansmen resented her. That day was the only time her father dared to slap her in the face and destroy the face that brought him benefits.

Just when both parties agreed to let Hongye become a concubine to settle the matter, Hongye did something she had always wanted to do, which was to destroy her own beauty and make her father's investment go to waste. She cut her mouth with a knife, just like the slit-mouthed woman.

When Hongye saw her father's extremely angry expression, she was very happy. She had never been so happy since she was a child.

So afterwards her father abandoned her as worthless, beat her severely and threw her into the red leaf forest, leaving her to fend for herself in the cold and among the wild beasts.

She still remembers meeting a peer named Abe Haruaki, who comforted her and said that even though she was disfigured, she was still very beautiful. This was the first time she was moved.

But the boy did not look back and left forever, leaving only the girl who eventually died in the red leaf forest. The girl's thoughts were also wiped out, leaving only resentment entangled in her body. The memory and power of the Demon King's daughter were restored, and she became the ghost girl Hongye today.

On the night she became the ghost girl Hongye, her father died in his study, and some annoying guys in the family also died. In the end, she brought the servant couple to Kyoto, claiming that the servant couple were her parents. The following development was just as the records described, and she became the real ghost girl Hongye.
