While he was thinking, the heart in his arms suddenly moved.
She also stretched, let out a contented sigh, and slowly opened her eyes.
Heart Sea 2.jpg
Perhaps he hadn't reacted yet, Xinhai turned over out of habit, but he noticed an arm hugging his body, and his confused expression suddenly turned into shyness.
For Xieyan, the mission of conquering the island was completed, but for Xinhai, yesterday was more than just the handover of spoils.
Although she wanted to completely break with the past, she was truly in the most sacred place on the island, submitting wholeheartedly to the enemies of the island. The sense of responsibility as a living god and priestess turned into guilt and immorality.
After all, she had been instilled with the idea of leading the island to prosperity since she was a child. Even though she was forced to do so, her belief did not change. It was not until she was betrayed by her own people that her firm belief slowly turned into a destructive desire for revenge.
However, unexpectedly, when she really chose to surrender, even though she felt guilty, the torture and entanglement she expected did not come. Instead, she experienced relaxation she had never experienced before.
"Husband..." Xinhai buried her head in the pillow and called hesitantly.
Although the relationship has changed qualitatively, there is still a difference between day and night.
Xie Yan stretched out his hand and gently stroked her soft long hair, then patted his thigh: "It's getting late, let's get up and eat first."
Xinhai lowered his head and said "hmm", but a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his little face.
It's not that she is shy about her relationship with Xie Yan. She has now completely become Xie Yan's appendage, both physically and mentally. What's embarrassing is some small things that happened yesterday.
Although Xie Yan was asked to stay overnight, it was impossible for him to be in such a hurry. He must go through the process of bathing, eating, etc.
But Xie Yan thought the island witch's cooking skills were not very good, so he made a few dishes himself, including "Chopped Pepper Fish Head". Every time his knife hit the chopping board, Xin Hai trembled a little when he saw it.
80 Shadow: Where is Xie Yanren?
Xinhai certainly knew that Xie Yan was not targeting him. Since it was difficult to grow crops on the island and it had always been suppressed by the shogunate, everyone's diet was basically related to fish.
Just watching Xie Yan making the chopped pepper fish head, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
But thinking of this, she suddenly recalled the first time they met... Although she had completely surrendered to the man in front of her, she still had some doubts that were not answered.
Although I wanted to ask it yesterday, my brain was deprived of oxygen after I said just two sentences, and I almost turned into an emoticon with a tongue sticking out.
Half leaning on Xie Yan, Xin Hai pursed her lips and asked softly: "Husband, have you ever thought about killing me before?"
"Huh? Why do you think so?"
"Because your expression is very scary, and the second time we met you brought the artifact to the front line, and I felt your murderous intent at that time."
Xie Yan smiled dumbly: "I don't want to have a stern face all day long... But when we meet for the second time, I did make a plan. If you still insist on continuing the war or are instigated by the Fatui, I will have no choice but to kill you to deter the resistance."
He did not hide this matter. He did not try to please his wife in every way just because he had one, and he did not even dare to speak out his own thoughts. Besides, Xie Yan was a straightforward person.
Xin Hai was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Yan's smile for the first time, but soon he smiled in relief: "Yes, this is your character, my husband. If you had been tied to the chariot on the island by me in a few words when we first met, even if you later held the artifact to suppress the front line, I would not be able to serve you wholeheartedly like I do now."
It’s not that a bootlicker cannot get a house, the main thing is that if a person’s beliefs are so easily shaken, he will sooner or later encounter more similar choices in the future, and his heart cannot be loyal to such a person.
She put everything aside and took the initiative to serve Xie Yan. Although it was due to the desire for revenge, it was more because she had already offered her heart to Xie Yan.
After talking about his doubts, Xinhai felt that there was no longer any barrier between him and Xie Yan. He stood up and helped Xie Yan undress and wash up.
Although Xin Hai seemed a little clumsy due to her lack of experience and was not as good as the maids in Kamisato Yashiki, the feeling she gave Xie Yan was completely different.
But seeing that Xinhai looked normal, Xie Yan blinked and asked in surprise: "Xinhai, don't you need to take a rest?"
"Ah? No need, I have [Hua Hai Yue], which can restore vitality and physical strength." Speaking of this, Xin Hai's cheeks turned slightly red again.
Transforming Sea Moon is a secret technique passed down in the Coral Palace. Normally, it would have a long cooldown time, unless she used divine power to perform Transforming Sea Feather to quickly reset it.
But this mechanism was broken yesterday. After Xie Yan injected energy into her, she was able to use Hua Haiyue continuously. Could it be that... she was really serving the gods yesterday?
As they were talking, the two walked out of the room.
It was actually still quite early, but a little late for Xie Yan. Except for the few times when he was injured, he would meditate at night.
No, he relaxed too much last night. From today on, he has to learn to restrain himself!
Everyone, please write it down, day0!
Izumi Naki and other priestesses had already prepared breakfast. After Xie Yan and Xin Hai sat down, they stood respectfully by their side, but their faces were a little flushed. They secretly glanced at Xie Yan twice and then lowered their heads to look at the floor.
Although the Coral Palace has three floors in total, these priestesses live on the second floor, but it is precisely because they are downstairs that they know how big the commotion is upstairs.
After all, they are all serious shrine maidens, and the location is in this solemn shrine. It is still too advanced for these serious shrine maidens.
“Is there any problem with the work on the island?” Xie Yan patted his (his) thigh.
Xinhai stayed there for a while, seeming to be lost in thought, and Xie Yan thought she was just sleeping soundly.
In fact, it was true. Yesterday, Xinhai realized for the first time how easy it was to give up thinking. He became more determined to pursue his ideal of becoming an ornamental fish. But suddenly, he was asked a question and needed to switch the operating system.
After a few seconds, her violet eyes regained their brightness, and she replied softly, "The Society's magistrate was very well prepared yesterday, and the teachers sent to teach were also connected with Ruko and the others... Well, I also talked to those teachers for a while, they are all very gentle people, and the children should not be afraid."
Although he doesn't like those unruly people, Xinhai still has expectations for the next generation of the island.
"As for the next tasks, the first is to restore the island's production and trade, and the second is the issue of Yuanxia Palace."
Having said that, Xinhai glanced in the direction of several priestesses, and they tactfully retreated.
Xin Hai introduced in a low voice: "I have been observing the entrance of Yuanxia Palace these days, but there is no movement there."
"Can you find out what's going on in Yuanxia Palace?"
"No... To be honest, if we want to enter the Abyss Palace safely, we need to use items such as the Moon Bathing Abyss Key, so I was so anxious that I asked someone to contact you."
Xie Yan frowned slightly, wondering whether he should go to Yuanxia Palace to take a look.
The Yuanxia Palace contains not only taboo information such as events in the past, but also a lot of knowledge about the Baiye Kingdom. If the Doctor is allowed to develop in the Yuanxia Palace, he might come up with something new.
There should be a way for the slices to transmit information to each other. Even if he was killed by the shadow, there is a high probability that he could send the information out before he died.
Of course, Xie Yan wouldn't be stupid enough to just rush over. The doctor had special means of mental attack, and he might not be able to block it. If he got hit by it accidentally, he would lose his life.
As if she could see what Xie Yan was thinking, Xin Hai opened her mouth wide and quickened her pace in eating breakfast, but she put it down after two bites because she was already full.
She felt that the energy (magic) input by Xie Yan was very strange. Although it could not really replace food, the amount was large after all. Xinhai felt that she did not need to eat today.
Not long after, the two left the Coral Palace together.
The entrance to Yuanxia Palace is not far from the Coral Palace. Xinhai took Xie Yan to the huge shell on the cliff. He pointed to the layers of mountain roads below and said, "Look at the mountain road at the bottom. The sea surface around it is the entrance to Yuanxia Palace. Usually we use the Moon Bathing Abyss Key to make the sea surface sink and reveal the entrance."
Xie Yan nodded. He remembered that there was such a prerequisite task. Did he have to do it again now?
Let’s leave this hard work to Yingmei!
Of course, this was just a joke. By the time Yingmei arrived, the opportunity would be lost. Xie Yan planned to return to Mingshen Island immediately to report to Ying, and then the two of them would go in to explore directly.
That’s right, how stupid would it be if you didn’t hug Ying’s long legs?
That is, when bringing her to Yuanxia Palace, Xinhai must first be allowed to return to the island... Well, how should I put it? Although Ying may not care at first, but seeing Xinhai's rosy face, as if radiant as if watered, it is a bit hard to say.
But just as he was about to look away, the ground suddenly shook like an earthquake, and the bottom layer of the mountain road even began to show spider-web-like cracks in the vibration.
This is?
Xie Yan supported Xin Hai and pulled her back from the cliff to the flat ground behind, and found that Xin Hai also looked stunned.
“Can there be earthquakes on islands?”
"Inazuma does have earthquakes sometimes, but islands rarely have them, etc..."
Xin Hai suddenly pointed in the direction the two had just looked at: "The vibration came from the entrance of Yuanxia Palace!"
The tremor gradually weakened, and by the time it stabilized, the lowest mountain road had been basically broken. Fortunately, there was no one else there except the Yefu group.
...
at the same time.
Castle tower.
"The guards of the heavens guard this important place, no idlers should stay..." Naoesa Hisamasa, the gatekeeper, said this habitually, but he almost slapped himself in the face halfway through his words, and hurriedly made way respectfully: "Yae Palace Master, please!"
As he bowed his head, he glanced curiously at the miko who was standing side by side with Yae no Miyabi.
Ordinary people may not know, but they, the secret society, are very clear about the status of Yae Palace Chief. Before Xie Yan took office, only Yae Palace Chief could move freely in the castle tower.
But now there is a witch who can walk side by side with her?
Under his curious gaze, the two entered the castle tower.
Ying, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered to himself: "A familiar smell... and there is movement on the island, but the doctor hasn't come out."
In fact, she didn't care much about the Doctor, unless the Ice God or the other seven rulers came, she would pay attention to him. The main reason was that she had an idea at this time: since the Doctor was not coming out, she would take Xie Yan to Yuanxia Palace for a stroll and show her strength to Xie Yan.
This guy always thinks about contradicting the gods. It's time to make him more fearful. This way, after he leaves, he will think more about clinging to me.
but--
After a brief sense, Ying did not find Xie Yan's location on the outlying island.
Hey, where is Yan Yan?
81 Who is the eldest wife?
What about people?
Ying thought she had misjudged. In her opinion, Xie Yan should be working hard like a workhorse.
But when she calmed down and tried to sense the island again, she still didn't detect Xie Yan's presence.
Could it be that he went out to inspect the work?
You can't be slacking off!
While she was deep in thought, General Lei Dian reminded her, "Have you forgotten? Yesterday was the time when Xie Yan took over the island. He was not on the island, so he should be on the island."
Although General Raiden was a bit single-threaded when it came to handling government affairs, she still remembered basically what happened.
Island? Wow, you really went fishing, didn’t you?
Ying then remembered that Xie Yan might have realized his idea of that day and injected Inazuma's patriotic gene into the heart of Coral Palace.
Although she didn't care much about Xin Hai after Xie Yan slept on the dragon bed that night, after all, she had to make some allowance as a senior wife... ahem, I said it wrong, it was the boss's allowance. She still didn't know what the relationship between her and Xie Yan was.
But this plot reminded her of the sentence in the light novel "Just think of her as practicing her skills", which made Ying feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as she was about to open her vision to see if her home had been robbed, General Lei Dian suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Ying asked puzzled.
General Lei Dian frowned and asked, "I have been thinking about the Eye Hunting Order and the Locked Country Order recently. I don't understand why you suddenly want to cancel these two orders. Obviously, you knew and agreed with the ideas before. Do you just listen to Xie Yan and agree with his advice?"
"As a king, isn't it natural for you to listen to correct advice?"
"It's fine if it's correct, but I don't think you treat him as a subject. How can a king wipe the sweat of his subject?"
General Lei Dian is not ignorant of matters between men and women. If Ying really intends to make Xie Yan her husband, the general will not refuse. After all, she has no aversion to Xie Yan, and it is a good thing to practice martial arts together every day. But if Xie Yan wants to obtain the "right to use" her body, then they will have to fight with real swords and guns.
Ying probably understood what the general meant. She glanced outside the door and saw Shen Zi wandering around the castle tower with that familiar person, so she continued, "I have been sorry for you for the past five hundred years. I chose to escape and let you deal with the most troublesome government affairs, but this matter is not what you think. I do think that the Eye Hunting Order and the Closing Order are incorrect."
"Give me an explanation. I've been thinking about it for a long time and I still can't figure it out."
It can be seen that General Lei Dian is a little slow in handling government affairs. No wonder it took a long time for the general's legendary mission to be released.
Ying explained seriously, "Because we were thinking too simply before, we only chose answers from two options. We were worried that Inazuma would become the next Kanreya, but if Inazuma wants to move forward, does she have to follow Kanreya's path? The people of Liyue, where humans and gods co-govern, and Mondstadt, where they develop freely, are all living well. In essence, I was the one who wanted to escape."
The general now understood, and since the two orders had brought great disaster to Inazuma, she now completely judged them to be a failed policy.
"I see. I didn't expect you to have changed so much after coming out of Isshin Pure Land. But congratulations on not running away anymore. In fact, I told you a long time ago that how can a warrior just think of retreating when facing difficulties?" General Raiden was happy for Ying's change.
She felt the will to fight, and continued, "That's why I admire Xie Yan and am willing to give him the opportunity to use my body. He could have waited for you to open the Pure Land, but he chose to face my Wuxiang Sword. I knew at that time that you would definitely lose to him, let alone fight me."
"Hmph, that was in the past. Now I have comprehended new mysteries, and... moves that you would never imagine." Ying subconsciously said toughly.
But General Lei Dian's praise of Xie Yan still made her inexplicably happy and proud.
But coming to his senses, Ying felt very strange again. How could General Lei Dian talk about the right to use the body in this way? If Xie Yan beats you, would you really help him hold me down?
But what she said just now was not bragging. After witnessing the fight between Xie Yan and the general last time, she actually figured out some new tricks.
When she had fully developed this move, she even felt that she could defeat the most powerful Morax, and the threat from the Kingdom of Winter became much weaker in her eyes.
General Lei Dian didn't care: "Then wait and see, I have some experience recently."
At this time, her single thread has not yet thought about the change in Ying's concept of [eternity], which means that the two will have a battle sooner or later, a battle to test their wills.
While the two were talking, Yaegamiko and Hanasari arrived late.
Even though she was wearing a mask, how could that familiar figure be hidden from her?
"Hosai Palace..." She stared at Hua Sanli in a daze. An indescribable joy and satisfaction first rose in her heart, but then fell to the bottom in an instant.
