Although Xinhai has a lot of experience in refining, he still has relatively little experience in automated operations. Yesterday, he didn't encounter any problems when he was driving the beast of burden for a short period of time, but today, after a long period of time, even the online sister Ying felt tortured.

Can you do it?

Yingmei, who was in the empathic state, could hardly bear it anymore. After discovering that she could influence Xinhai's body, the Knight of Honor could not help but go into battle herself.

15 You're not bringing me to the meeting, are you? 27.5/42

The next day, early in the morning.

Xie Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and ended his meditation practice.

With his current level of strength, the improvements brought by meditation or breathing exercises are almost invisible. It will probably take several decades of accumulation to have significant effects.

But as a warrior, you must always maintain your condition. The state of mind during meditation is very helpful for examining your own power system.

Especially after starting to meditate after the sage time, the effect seemed to be even better. However, after Avalon was gone, Xie Yan already felt a little tired.

Ahem, don't get me wrong, it's not that he is incapable, it's that this magic replenishment mechanism is obviously in favor of the female. After getting energy, Xinhai can use the infinite Haiyue, while Xie Yan can only go out but not in. How can anyone withstand this!

And it wasn't just Xinhai who joined the battle yesterday.

Xie Yan glanced at Xin Hai beside him with a strange look. The girl had long pink hair loose and a bright blush on her fair cheeks. She turned sideways and hugged the pillow, with an expression that said "sleeping soundly when encountering difficulties".

The cute girl was naturally eye-catching, but after two days of online contact, Xie Yan couldn't help but think about their relationship.

How to say it, taking over Xinhai was more of a choice made under a complicated situation. In the middle, he was also a little youthful and lusty for the beautiful girl's body, so he did not kill her, but chose to put her to sleep in order to completely conquer the island.

Xinhai herself knew this as well, but the gods personally intervened in the war and lifted the Eye Hunting Order. The island no longer even had the flag for fighting on the surface. Xie Yan's condition of integrating the island into Inazuma made it impossible for her to refuse, so she simply agreed to become a trophy.

The whole process seemed to be fine. In Inazuma's cultural background, it was normal for a warrior to use his sword to win a beautiful woman.

After Xinhai married into the Kande Bugyo Mansion, Xie Yan doted on her extremely, which made their story become a beautiful story, and many women wanted to take his place.

A lovelorn? No, even if most couples in modern society just get by, in a feudal society with even more scarce resources, it is completely understandable that Xin Hai's treatment was envied by others. Who wouldn't want to have a spouse who dotes on him/her so much and has a noble status?

But does Xinhai really think so?

Xie Yan could feel her dependence on him and her willingness to serve him wholeheartedly, but seeing the humility Xin Hai showed in the past two days, he realized that he needed to adjust their relationship.

Xinhai is his first woman, and he did take her away because he was greedy for her body. It would be too fake to deny this, but it would also be wrong to say that he was simply greedy for her body. Xie Yan hopes to make her truly happy.

Thinking that he only needed to go to the deserted sea at noon and there was nothing particularly urgent, Xie Yan pondered for a moment, gently lifted the quilt and crawled back in, intending to sleep in with Xinhai.

But the action of getting into the bed still woke her up. Xinhai subconsciously put her arms around his neck and opened her eyes drowsily.

"Owner?"

"Didn't I tell you? Just call me husband."

Xie Yan gently corrected the address. He was just thinking about how to adjust the relationship between them.

But the next second, Xinhai's name scared him.

Hearing his own voice, Xinhai hugged his neck even tighter, and after a moment of silence, he looked up and murmured softly, "Dad?"

Xie Yan couldn't help swallowing, but after reacting, he quickly poked Xin Hai's forehead: "Are you confused in your sleep?"

To be honest, Xie Yan doesn't have such a weird habit. At most, he just wants Yingmei to call him dad. If it were someone else, he really wouldn't have that idea.

Uh, wait...

Xie Yan's face showed enlightenment, he probably knew why Xin Hai called him that.

because--

.The blonde female knight who was online with her yesterday kept calling her dad.

Yes, even though the female knight of Mond is very powerful, how could Xie Yan be an ordinary person?

Even though it would be a bit troublesome without Avalon to fight against Hua Haiyue, he still displayed the diligence of an old ox, focusing on deep cultivation and careful work, and everything would come naturally.

Even if the industrial revolution begins to realize automated farming, the initiative is still in Xie Yan's hands.

Yingmei thought that by borrowing Xinhai's "full-grown fish body" she could fight against this supreme being. That was really taking it for granted. After Xie Yan's extreme sublimation, she was severely beaten. In the end, under his instigation, she even called out "Dad" to beg for mercy.

Ahem, even though I feel a little sorry for Sora, that sense of accomplishment is just so satisfying.

Don't worry about Brother Long!

But after hearing Xin Hai shout this, Xie Yan couldn't hold back and corrected him again: "Let's not call him that."

"But my husband seemed to like it very much yesterday..." Xin Hai blinked curiously, and then suddenly realized, "I understand, this is a unique name between Ying and my husband. It seems that I still underestimated her."

Xinhai had already overestimated Ying's rank as much as possible, but whether it was the online battle or yesterday's battle with the giant fish body, it was an eye-opener for Xinhai. She clearly remembered that before Ying went on the court, she was shouting in her heart, "Be brave" and "I will not give in", but in the end she took that step on her own initiative.

Just looking at Ying's appearance, it seems that she still needs my help.

Xinhai has even thought of the online voice messages: Please help, Don’t worry, Rest and recuperate, and A promise in the sea.

Just as he was thinking this, Xinhai suddenly felt Xie Yan hugging him.

She turned her head to look at Xie Yan, their eyes met, and she saw concern in Xie Yan's eyes.

"Husband?"

"Well...how should I put it, Xinhai, are you satisfied with your current life?"

Xin Hai was stunned. She had never expected Xie Yan to ask this.

Although she was a little speechless about being misunderstood by everyone, Xinhai herself had no ambition, so naturally she was not disappointed. And now that her husband Xie Yan had returned to Inazuma, she was so happy that she didn't have time to feel dissatisfied.

Seeing her expression, Xie Yan knew that he hadn't made himself clear, but he wasn't good at expressing his feelings, so after thinking it over, he decided to use his mental power to convey his thoughts to her.

The communication between the minds was very fast. Xin Hai understood Xie Yan's worries in an instant. She shook her head and laughed, "Why would my husband think so? At the beginning, it was indeed forced by the situation. I was also worried about whether I would be troubled when entering the Kanding Bugyo Mansion, but my husband treated me sincerely and tried to make me feel at ease after returning. I just wanted to make my husband happier."

Xin Hai didn't have any complicated thoughts. In her opinion, although the relationship between the two had some twists and turns, they liked each other, so there was no need to explore it.

Her identity has long since changed from a human-god priestess to Xie Yan's follower. Her next task is to take care of her husband and children... Well, maybe she can also help organize the party. The traveler seemed quite happy yesterday.

However, when Xie Yan mentioned his ideal life, Xin Hai hesitated for a moment and continued, "I know my husband wants to take care of me, so he never gave me any work, but after this month, I found that a life with too much free time is not a good thing."

"That's true. You were too tense before. It's good to relax for a while, but you have to find something to do in the future." Xie Yan nodded slightly. No matter how little pressure there is, people still have to have some goals.

"So where do you want to start, Xinhai? Tianling Bugeng needs to prepare for the affairs of Qinglai Island. I plan to give the She Bugeng the sword forging and talismans. Kanding Bugeng will be responsible for foreign trade. The work of the three is quite tedious."

"Well... I haven't been in charge of work for a long time. Let me start with the Kanjo Bugyo."

Xie Yan didn't care. It was a good thing that Xinhai wanted to change his living conditions. It just so happened that he was short of a secretary.

Secretary, please help!

After a while of tenderness, Xin Hai suddenly came to her senses, stretched and got up. Her energy was overflowing.

Xie Yan did not leave immediately. He continued to sit cross-legged, and a luxurious scabbard with gold and blue colors slowly appeared in his hand.

Still, a phantom appeared first, and then solidified step by step from top to bottom. However, when it solidified to the middle position, the scabbard shook violently twice, and then countless cracks appeared, and then it dissipated in the hand in an instant.

This undoubtedly means that the projection has failed.

After all, it is an EX-level treasure. If you want to project it, you must understand the rules behind it, or simply have the original owner to assist you. But Xie Yan can't conjure up a King of Arthur to help, so he can only rely on himself to rub it slowly.

"The laws hidden in Avalon are not just about a single life, but also about the absolute defensive effect after releasing the True Name. This is the real reason why I can't project it."

Xie Yan can obtain the former by using the power to reverse death. After studying it thoroughly, he can even knock out a handful of natural teeth for himself and leave them to his offspring, but there is no way to get the latter.

"No, I can't use the True Name to release it anyway, so why not just give up this function and only keep the part that contains the law of life?"

The idea was to transform the projection weapon. Xie Yan thought about it for a while and then started to try it.

After pondering for nearly an hour, Xie Yan put down his research on the projection only when Xin Hai informed him that a guest was coming.

“It will take a long time to completely transform it, and it would be best if there were real products around, but now we can barely make a disposable product (that lasts one night).”

Shit, wait, this is like taking drugs!

Thinking about the future when he would make up magic with Ying, the General, and the Son of God, they would glance at him with their eyes moving, come to the bed side by side, while he would have to let everyone wait for him to rub Avalon, which was really a bit difficult.

No, I, Xie Yan, am a man of integrity and I cannot afford to lose face like this!

Just by thinking casually, Xie Yan could hear the voice of the Son of God in his mind: "Small ones are also very cute."

Xie Yan made up his mind not to use this trick, and then immediately went out to wash up and came to the hall.

There were unexpectedly quite a few people in the hall. The most eye-catching one was the furry white tail. You didn't even need to look up to know it was Hanasari.

She and Xinhai were sitting at a small table nearby, with many documents between them, and were discussing something seriously.

But every time Hua Sanli finished speaking about a key point, she would take a puff of cigarette happily. This guy relied on being an immortal and smoked without any scruples...and she seemed to be getting carried away again, and even dared to smoke traditional cigarettes in the hall.

On the other side, Yingmei and Paimon seemed to have just come out and were eating breakfast.

But when she saw him coming out, Yingmei paused for a moment.

Of course she could not forget what happened yesterday... Originally she just wanted to go online normally, but Xinhai only had experience in foot combat, so she had to show the power of the Mondstadt Knight.

However, the power of the emperor-level beast of burden still exceeded her expectations, and Ying finally called out that name.

Sorry, brother!

I'll try not to let you know about this!

"No, that's the one Coral Palace Xinhai calls dad, what does that have to do with me?" Ying lowered her head and took two mouthfuls of porridge.

Yes, she hasn't given in yet!

Ying felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea. It was better to guide than to block. Even though it was a bit embarrassing to be online with Xinhai now, it was still better than actually lying down.

And even this old lady with yellow hair had to admit that the taste of this big party was indeed wonderful.

At this time, she was even more grateful to the Great Compassionate Tree King. In order to protect herself, he would rather bear the greatest firepower himself. He probably feared that she would be unable to extricate herself after tasting the power of the big party.

Paimeng, who was eating heartily, shook his head slightly. Although the connection was made with the help of the connection between relatives, it was essentially the mental power of Xinhai that was at work. After Yingmei got used to the partying life, Xinhai would just have to shut down the connection and Yingmei would definitely have a withdrawal reaction.

I'm afraid that if I want to leave the Kande Bugyofu by then, Yingmei will hold me back and won't let me go!

But Paimeng didn't dare to offend Xie Yan again, so he pretended to be stupid and continued eating.

She saw it clearly. Yingmei even stuck out her tongue and made a scissors hand gesture. If it were her, Paimeng couldn't even imagine the scene.

Seeing that neither of them said anything, Xie Yan took a piece of moon pie and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned and came to Xin Hai.

Hanasari sat on the chair with her legs crossed, picked up some documents and handed them to Xinhai: "Since you are going to take over the job of Kanjo Bugyo, start with the part you are more familiar with. This is the latest report of Haidao."

The islands have now been incorporated into the territory of the shogunate, and the finances and expenditures are naturally managed by the Kanjo Bugyo.

Xinhai nodded, took the documents and reviewed them carefully, which were the "Coral Palace Business Activities Mora Flow Report", "Annual Overall Management Report on Fishery Output", and "Monthly Report on Allocation of Funds for Island Facility Maintenance".

These tasks were previously handled by her, Ruko and several other Coral Palace priestesses. They were not unfamiliar with them and knew the development of the island with just a quick glance.

"Hey, the island had a very high income last month, and they built a lot of infrastructure and renovated the houses." Xinhai nodded slightly. No matter what, she still had a special feeling for the island. After all, it was her hometown.

"This is because of the success of Coral Pearls in foreign trade. Business in Liyue is booming, and jewelry stores like Mingxingzhai have always had a need to purchase raw materials in large quantities. The girl named Jiuqi Shinobu is very capable and has signed a long-term contract with them. The renovation is to prepare for the future tourism industry."

"I see. In the past, the shogunate didn't pay much attention to foreign trade, and wouldn't spend so much effort to support the islands. We can only sell to fleets like Beidou."

Thinking back to the difficult circumstances of the past, Xinhai couldn't help but sigh softly.

That is why she thought that Xie Yan’s decision to integrate the island into Ming Shen Island was the right one.

If the previous independent system is still maintained, it may seem free, but life on the island will not change much. Finance, infrastructure, education, medical care and other aspects will all be responsible by themselves. It is not a good idea to just rely on selling pearls. If this continues, there will always be a day when all the fish are exhausted.

In contrast, now the islands have received support and assistance from the shogunate, and will have their own characteristic industries such as tourism in the future. The only thing sacrificed is the long-gone faith.

But faith cannot be eaten. You can't just give up your good life and work hard fishing every day, and then go home to thank Lord Oropas for his kindness, right?

Seeing that Xin Hai had entered the state, Hanasari continued to introduce: "But there are many problems on the island. The first is food. The shogunate does not have much food of its own, and it is impossible to support the island unconditionally. Second, some residents of the island still have opinions on the shogunate's rule. They dare not oppose it openly, but they will not cooperate with the shogunate's work."

“Not cooperating with the work... is it about the tourism industry?”

"Well, they think that allowing outsiders to come to the island to eat, drink and have fun is a blasphemy to Orobas, so they don't cooperate with our policies of renovating houses and clearing trade routes."

Xin Hai's eyes narrowed. In fact, she could have expected that such a troublemaker would appear.

Just as she and Yingmei said, in the middle and late stages of the war, under the instigation of the Fatui, many soldiers had forgotten their original intentions. They really intended to make great achievements and conquer Baying Island, otherwise they would not be willing to unseal the talisman.

After the war failed, many people believed that it was her poor command and that she had been hiding in the rear, delaying the opportunity to fight. Therefore, in the days when Xinhai surrendered, they used her as an outlet for their failure.

Xinhai was indeed very angry about this. She had taken on so much pressure in order to find a way out for Haidao, but even her own people did not understand her. But after switching to military strategist mode yesterday, Xinhai felt relieved... She has now jumped out of the chessboard, and all those things in the past are just passing clouds to her.

She thought rationally and replied, "I understand. Let me handle these matters. My husband intends to let the island residents develop Qinglai Island. If the shogunate alone persuades them, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good. With me in charge, everyone should be able to listen."

"Oh? You're going? But those troublemakers on the island are very dissatisfied with you."

"No matter how dumb the people on the island are, they should know that the island's income is all allocated from the Kande Bugyofu. And they are now qualified to negotiate conditions. To put it bluntly, isn't it because I am the most favored in the mansion?"

Hua Sanli smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, took two puffs of his cigarette and nodded, "Very good, it seems that you are very clear about the situation, then I can rest assured to leave the island's affairs to you."

Just like Shen Zi would test Ying Mei, the matter is of great importance, so Hanasari will naturally also test Xin Hai, which is a responsibility to each other's work.
