I'd be more than happy to help!

Yingmei stamped her foot in embarrassment and indignation: Help you my foot! This is a genuine tricolor dumpling!!!

Turning around, I saw Paimon pointing his finger with a sheepish grin.

However, what Yingmei didn't notice was that there was also a subtle cunning glint in the little guy's starry eyes.

Noticing this, Gu Jing smiled and made a "three" gesture with her, then imitated a clucking chicken.

Three servings of sweet flower-stuffed chicken!

With his eyes wide open, Paimon's mouth was practically watering as he looked at the shy Yingmei, who was brimming with energy!

******

A short while later, after learning from Goro that Xin Hai was not in the main hall of the Coral Palace, the general of Haiji Island took out a thick 'brocade pouch'.

He quickly realized something: "I've got it, Lord Gu Jing! Lord Coral Palace has already considered this situation and clearly stated in Article 98: [If a guest comes from afar and cannot find me, he may come to the south, to the purple-leaf tree]."

"The note also says that only Lord Coral Palace did not leave any other instructions."

"And when the guest's identity is very special."

"Only then can this rule apply."

"I think you might be able to go and take a look following this instruction."

Gu Jing: "..." Handsome guy speechless.jpg

Suppressing the urge to complain, Gu Jing smiled and nodded at him: "I understand, Wu Lang, you can continue with your work."

Since Coral Palace's Heart Sea was neither in the main hall nor in sight, it was undoubtedly because it lacked energy and was hiding in a secret base.

However, when Gu Jing and his two companions arrived at the secret base of Xin Hai, the scene that appeared before them was undoubtedly shocking.

Inside the cave of the secret base—

Xin Hai, whom I hadn't seen for many days, was still wearing a pink and purple gradient fishtail skirt, and her slender legs were wrapped in purple and white stockings.

His once vibrant expression had vanished, replaced by lifeless, dead fish eyes. He lay on the mat, hugging a pillow, staring at the bare mountain wall and letting out a lazy sigh: "Ah~ why hasn't Lord Gu Jing's live stream started yet?"

"Was I delayed by something again today?"

"Which palace official is it?"

"Or is it Narukami?"

"Pfft~ According to Lord Gu Jing's way of thinking."

"You probably want them all?"

"But..."

"It's Monday today."

"and..."

"I'm completely out of energy..."

At this point, she tossed the pillow in her arms aside and lay sprawled on the mat, as if the whole fish had lost its vitality.

Yingmei and Paimon both stared in shock, never expecting that the wise man they had seen on the live stream would turn out like this.

Gu Jing laughed and said, "Ying, if I started a live stream right now, everyone would probably think this is an illusion, right?"

The coral sea nymph, lying on its mat, opened its eyes wide: "—!!!" (The ornamental fish was shocked.)

Please don't do that!

"Also, please don't write what just happened in your diary!"

Please help me!

"This is Xin Hai's lifelong request!"

Instantly, Xin Hai scrambled off the mat at the fastest speed she had ever seen, tidying herself up and her clothes. Her cheeks flushed, she clasped her hands together and pleaded with Gu Jing, her embarrassment so palpable she could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the cave.

However, if the live stream had already been started and Xin Hai had been notified, Gu Jing would not have been able to see the scene of the ornamental fish losing energy.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Jing smiled and shook his head: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person. I will definitely write in my diary, after all, I want to treat everyone equally."

"And isn't your current reaction blatantly a sign that you don't believe me?"

"It's a shame I haven't started a live stream yet."

"My heart is like the sea."

"As a strategist."

"You can't afford to lose your composure."

******

Upon hearing this, Coral Palace Heart Sea hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself: That makes sense, but when it really comes to losing face, no one can remain calm, right?

However, under her tense and uneasy gaze, words began to appear on the pages of the copy of the diary.

[A Little Secret About the Coral Palace's Inner Sea]

For many, rising to a high position at a young age is a great stroke of luck, but for Xin Hai, the higher he climbs, the more precarious it feels like walking on thin ice.

[Military, political, commercial, and diplomatic affairs on Haegeima Island...]

All matters, big and small, rested on the shoulders of this living, divine priestess.

The pressure involved is unimaginable.

As I said before.

Even the most capable and intelligent person is not a machine.

The same applies to the depths of the heart.

Even though he had read military treatises from various countries since childhood.

[This leaves an impression of a resourceful and enigmatic leader.]

She also has moments when she feels tired.

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

Therefore, I also established a 'mental energy' setting for myself.

[Forced to haggle with the merchant: Energy -10.]

[Pre-battle speech: Energy -20.]

[The Inazuma War Ends: Energy +100!]

[And so on.]

[Whenever the energy reaches zero.]

She would hide away alone in her secret base.

I used to recharge by reading.

I thought so too.

But today I accidentally stumbled upon her little secret.

This sea of ​​hearts.

Because they couldn't watch my live stream.

She lay there in her secret hideout, looking completely relaxed.

[They even suspected that I was making tricolor dumplings with the goddess, which is why I missed the live stream.]

This is actually quite easy to understand.

【but--】

Is it naive of me to expect you to keep a secret?

I'm not a good person!

[To be honest, if it weren't for Yingmei and Paimon being there!]

....... ....

Today I'll show you 100 ways to eat ornamental fish!

【after all...】

[Military advisor, no? (Master Military Advisor, you don’t want anyone to know about this, right?)]

As Gu Jing finished recording this, he looked at the ornamental fish in front of him and saw that Coral Palace Seagull, although blushing a little, was obviously relieved.

Gu Jing gave a cold laugh, neither confirming nor denying: "What? Not worried now? Looks like you can handle it."

Coral Palace Xin Hai smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your leniency, Lord Gu Jing."

"Humph."

“I showed no mercy.”

"Appears docile, but is actually quite wary."

“They even openly displayed this distrust to me.”

"It planted a thorn in my heart."

"Did you really think that a laugh would be enough?"

"I won't make things difficult for you."

"Consider it as you owing me a hundred times today."

"When will you be ready?"

"Just take the initiative to return it to me."

"Don't make me rush you."

With a cold smile and a disdainful look at the ornamental fish in front of him, Gu Jing vividly illustrated the phrase "making a fuss over something".

Although Yingmei and Paimon felt that he was mostly joking, Xinhai really didn't dare to gamble. Besides, something like 100 times would kill the fish, right?
