She had been worried that if she came alone with Fang Yun for the inspection, they would be taken advantage of to make changes. But now that they had arrived at the hot spring as a team, she felt inexplicably regretful that she could not be alone.
"That's because of the matter on Heguan Island and Qinglai Island." Fang Yun looked around. At this time, the hot springs were rising, and the hot air was lingering. Combined with the colorful corals and shells on the mountain wall behind, it seemed as if he was in a fairyland.
It's true that Kaigi Island is a very suitable place for tourism. Not only does it have beautiful scenery, it is also the origin of luxury raw materials such as coral and pearls.
No wonder the port and commercial street have already been built even though it has just been completed. Fang Yun even saw a branch of Liyue Mingxingzhai at a quick glance. Merchants from foreign countries have seen business opportunities here.
Fang Yun retracted his gaze and rubbed Yingmei's face: "It's my negligence. I didn't expect you to do so well on Haiqi Island. What reward do you want?"
"Reward... There's no rush. Let's talk about it after you finish reading it." Ying suddenly lowered her head and became very humble. She really didn't know what reward she wanted.
After all, she is Concubine Ying. Building Inazuma means building her own home. How can she ask Fang Yun for money?
Little Paimon's reaction was completely different. When she heard about the reward, she kicked her legs hard and quickly floated to Fang Yun's side: "Hey, what's the reward? Your Highness Fang Yun just needs to give me more Mora!"
Although she had embezzled Yingmei's salary to build a small treasury for herself, she dared not spend a penny! But this legitimate income was different.
She is afraid of being poor!
Before Fang Yun could even open his mouth, Yingmei couldn't bear it anymore. She frowned and grabbed Paimeng and said, "You want a reward too? What contribution have you made here on Haiqi Island? I have supervised all the projects here one by one."
"Ying, how can you say that? Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard."
"I don't feel you've done anything hard."
Although Ying did not participate in the plastering, she was busy at the construction site the whole time. However, Paimeng slept in all day and refused to even sign. She just wanted to run away all day. How could he still want a salary?
Paimeng was furious now: "Ying, this is Fang Yun's reward for me, and you don't have to pay for it, why are you so excited!"
"Am I excited? How many times have I told you to refer to your job title when working!" Ying still refused decisively.
What a joke, spending Fang Yun's money is just spending her own money, right? She doesn't want her family to spend money.
Oh, of course, the share money must still be collected, not a single mora less!
Inside the Abyss Cult camp, Kong ended his training with a sense of realization and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Ever since they parted on Heguan Island last time, whenever he practiced he would think of his lovely sister who was always in danger of bloody disaster, and he wished he could suffer in her place.
Fang Yun, this bastard! Even though he needed help from him, Kong only had one thing to say to Fang Yun from beginning to end: Fuck!
Fang Yun on the other side also frowned slightly. He felt as if he had received blessings and instructions from his brother-in-law.
Looking at the silly blonde girl in front of him, Fang Yun's heart moved slightly.
Alas, I didn’t expect that Yingmei is so virtuous and capable.
"Hehe, meritorious service deserves reward. What little Paimeng said makes some sense. When the time comes, the bonus will be distributed and you two can divide it up." Fang Yun patted Ying's shoulder and led her away from the corner.
Paimon was relieved to hear that there would still be a reward, but he was still very angry at Ying's fake sister behavior.
Humph, today I, Paimeng, will risk my life to bring Yingmei down!
Back to the entrance of the hot spring, the maids were almost ready. When they saw Fang Yun coming, they bowed slightly.
They had greeted Jean and Barbara before, but the two sisters just stood there in silence after their polite responses. The weird atmosphere made them afraid to speak.
When they saw Fang Yun and Ying finally come out, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief and almost at the same time took a step forward to speak, but when they noticed the other's actions, they subconsciously shrank back.
Seeing the two people's completely synchronized movements, Fang Yun and Yingmei looked at each other with some helplessness in their eyes.
In fact, Jean and Barbara are both very gentle people. It was mainly because their parents' divorce cast a shadow on the family. After that, they followed their parents to work in the church and the Knights Templar respectively, and they became estranged.
But it doesn't matter. Fang Yun is quite capable of connecting the sisters... whether it's emotional connection or physical connection. I believe that the two sisters can be reconciled today.
Wasn't it under his spur that the General and Ying began to fight side by side?
The general is good at horse fighting and can control a judgement-level beast of burden, while Shadow is good at foot fighting and can restrain Fang Yun with his round and slender legs.
If there were another thunder and lightning, Fang Yun would definitely not be able to withstand it.
If you and I, sisters, come together, how can we defeat each other?
"Ahem, sorry to have kept you waiting, Qin and Barbara. I was just reporting to Fang Yun." Ying took the initiative to break the silence. She winked at the two of them and said, "I am involved in all the projects here. Let me be your tour guide."
Qin smiled gently when she heard this: "Then I'll trouble you, Ying. When we were in Mondstadt, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to integrate into Teyvat. It seems that I was overthinking."
"Well, it's okay." Ying didn't think it was a big deal. Although she didn't understand Fang Yun's talent for opening the nationality, she also learned the essence of it.
In Inazuma it’s Inazuma Hotaru!
Besides, she is going to be the Raikage's woman and has already become an Inazuma citizen.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Barbara complain: "Sister is right. When the merchant ship landed, I didn't react when I saw Ying. She didn't look out of place among the Inazuma officials."
Paimon couldn't hold back when he heard that. No wonder Jean and Barbara didn't take the initiative to say hello at that time. She even needed to say "Jean, my sister" herself. It turned out that they didn't recognize her.
Ying still didn't feel anything. At the beginning, she might have been a little embarrassed. After all, she had been wandering for half her life since she first met Fang Yun in Liyue.
But now...she has even drunk her fill of Inazuma's patriotic genes, so what else is there to say?
As they were talking, everyone came to the courtyard where the hot spring pool was.
This is Fang Yun and Ying's exclusive hot spring. It is naturally much more upscale than those public hot springs outside. Not only does it have a special courtyard, but the location is also extremely particular, built against the mountain wall.
In terms of area, this place is close to the inner residential area of the Kanjo Bugyofu.
Barbara leaned her little hands on the wooden railing in the aisle and looked down. She could almost see half of Kaigi Island. Her eyes were attracted by the unique topography of Kaigi Island and the bubbles floating in the air. She felt as if she had come to a dreamlike world in a fairy tale.
"I've heard many adventurers mention the beautiful scenery of Kaigi Island before, but I didn't expect that I underestimated it." Barbara's eyes sparkled as she stared at the scenery below. It was hard for her to imagine that corals and shells could grow on the rock walls of the mountain.
Seeing her so happy, Qin's lips curled up slightly with happiness, and she stayed quietly by her side.
Only then did Qin realize that she and Barbara had spent too little time alone together. Even though they saw each other every day before, they mostly collaborated on business. It was simply unprecedented for the sisters to travel together like this.
Fang Yun quietly pushed her arm, gave her a wink, and asked her to say a few words as well.
Xiaoqin, good opportunity!
Qin was stunned. She usually communicated a lot with others, but she became very reserved in front of Barbara. She couldn't think of what to say for a while. She could only agree with two sentences, "It's very beautiful" and "Barbara is right."
Fang Yun gave her a speechless look.
Qin, this gentle older sister, looks very mature, but she is clumsy in many aspects. It seems that she really needs some changes in her genes.
Yingmei was very smart. She whispered a few words to the maid, then slowed down her pace and took everyone on a tour.
"The scenery of Haigi Island is indeed beautiful. It is said that it has such a unique feature because of the demon god that Haigi Island once believed in, Oropus. The original ancestors of Haigi Island lived under the sea, and it was Oropus who brought the people of Haigi Island to the sun."
"However, the land of Haiji Island is very strange. It has never been suitable for farming. It even periodically undergoes [sanctification], which completely makes the land incapable of planting. The Coral Palace priestess needs to go to the Abyss Palace to get some special coral branches and perform a ceremony to control it."
Jean and Barbara walked in the aisle, listening intently; this kind of story involving the devil was always very attractive.
However, after listening to the introduction of the tour guide Ying, Qin asked thoughtfully: "So, back then, Orobas launched the invasion to the East because he wanted to gain land for his people?"
"That should be the case. The problem of land cultivation has not been solved since we came to the ground from Kaigi Island... No, it has been solved now." Ying was not very familiar with the history of Kaigi Island. She only heard it from the people of Kaigi Island and what she had seen and heard during this period.
"what?"
"Scholars of the Sumerian School have developed a product called Fertile Blessing, which can greatly enhance soil fertility... As you know, the ecological environment of the rainforest is not suitable for growing crops, so the Sumerian School has been doing research on it. After Inazuma's seclusion, the shogunate imported this product, and it worked very well on Umijima Island. Of course, if we want to fight against sanctification, we still need to hold a ceremony."
Although they still had to deal with the interference of sanctification, Jean and Barbara were shocked when they heard it. They didn't expect that something that even gods couldn't solve could be solved by humans.
"It is indeed impossible for a kingdom to survive in Teyvat without the protection of the gods, but humans cannot stop moving forward." Jyn sighed. She now just wants to lead Mond out of laziness.
After all, Mondstadt is like the opposite of Umigumi Island. Due to its favorable climate, residents will not starve to death as long as they grow crops. In addition, due to Mondstadt's concept of freedom, most residents leave matters such as finding ropes, lost keys, and cats to the Knights, and they just wander around and drink leisurely every day.
This mentality of lying low has severely restricted Mondstadt's development, and the Knights have been unable to expand into new industries. Even the Knights of Favonius are slacking off, so how can they expect the people of Mondstadt to work hard?
Fang Yun also agreed with this. He remembered that it was mentioned in some event plot that most of Mond's income came from the wine industry.
For a country, this is actually quite outrageous.
To be honest, it's just that Diluk has good character. After all, even if the Knights Templar were led by an insider to take credit for his father's victory over the dragon Ursa, the decision was discussed and passed by all the top leaders. Moreover, after Falgar executed the insider, he has not revealed the truth until now. The comics say that they are afraid of affecting the image and reputation of the Knights Templar, and they don't want people to know the effect of the evil eye.
As a result, although he, the richest man in Mondstadt, hated the Knights Templar, he did not give up. He transformed into a dark night hero every night to fight against evil.
All I can say is that in Mond, honest people suffer, while lazy people live a very comfortable life.
Paimon was a little curious: "This Orobas is the same. He knew it was impossible to defeat General Thunder, but he still challenged her."
"From a strength perspective, it is indeed unwise, but I think Orobas has done his best for his people." Barbara shook her head.
Admittedly, Oropas was the loser in the war between demons and gods. He did not have the powerful military force like the god of thunder and the god of rock, nor could he create a livable environment for his people like the god of wind and the god of grass, but he really did everything he could.
While everyone was chatting, the maid quietly approached and raised the camera in her hand. This was what Ying had just instructed.
Ying whispered a thank you, then clapped her hands: "It's rare for Captain Qin and Barbara to go abroad. The scenery is so beautiful now, shall we take a photo together?"
"Oh, okay." Barbara glanced at Qin with some anticipation in her eyes.
Everyone walked to a place with a wider view and then stood for a group photo.
Afterwards, Fang Yun winked at Yingmei, and the two of them first took a group photo, and then signaled Qin and Barbara to also form a team for a group photo.
Barbara stepped forward first, while Jean looked slightly stunned, as if she was thinking about what expression and action to use.
Seeing her timid look, Fang Yun couldn't help but walk behind her and quietly patted her plump and perky Knight's Soul.
Qin almost screamed when Fang Yun slapped her on the butt in public, but she also knew that Fang Yun meant well, so she could only glare at Fang Yun and quickly came to Barbara.
"Don't be so stiff, relax a little!"
Perhaps because the shyness of being slapped by Fang Yun in public about the Soul of the Knights overwhelmed the entanglement in Qin's heart, Qin quickly adjusted her movements, stood closely with Barbara, and took the initiative to put her arms around her.
It was the first time that Barbara was hugged by her sister. Her body stiffened slightly, but she relaxed the next second. With a smile on her little face, she quietly enjoyed her sister's warm embrace.
In fact, Qin often hugged her when she was a child, but since the two of them separated with their parents, they have never had such intimacy again.
After taking more than a dozen photos, the two reluctantly parted.
But perhaps because of the hug just now, the gap between the two sisters was obviously reduced a lot, at least they were no longer silent when facing each other.
Fang Yun gave Ying an approving look. Ying was really good at organizing parties.
His heart moved slightly. It seemed that his previous idea was feasible. He could let Ying reconcile the conflict between Apepu and Lei Diandian.
After all, Mobius and Mei don't get along well, so Alicia really needs to step in.
Ying also puffed out her chest proudly, and Ying had to look up to her sister Ying!
Wait, something seems wrong.
But there was no time to think too much at this time. She and Fang Yun exchanged glances again, and then led everyone into the hot spring where steam was rising.
This hot spring is decorated as carefully as the outside. The ground is paved with pebbles. The decoration style of the nearby courtyard is classical and exquisite. There are cherry trees planted all around. The petals drift in the breeze, and the misty environment is very atmospheric at this time.
Of course, since it is his exclusive hot spring, it is naturally a mixed bathing area.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was set up well before, so everyone ignored this point and went to the room to change clothes, took a bath towel and went into the hot spring.
Fang Yun's gaze lingered for a moment when Barbara lifted up her delicate feet like ice cream and took off her white silk stockings, and then he looked at the Soul of the Knights of Captain Qin.
Even without the outline of tight trousers, this Soul of the Knights is still worthy of its name.
Finally, Fang Yun turned his gaze to Yingmei... Although Yingmei was not particularly outstanding, her configuration in all aspects was very balanced, and she was the type that was pleasing to the eye.
And Ying's Rasengan is also very good. When you lean over slightly, you can see the grooves and arcs formed by the Rasengan.
Fang Yun pulled Yingmei into the hot spring.
Jean and Barbara followed.
Everyone first came to the center and chatted while leaning against a nearby rockery.
Probably because of the previous group photo and Ying's tour guide, everyone still had some topics to talk about.
Barbara was a little shy at first. Although she was wrapped in a bath towel very tightly and Fang Yun did not get close to her, the experience of taking a hot spring bath with a man was still too exciting for her.
However, thinking of the intimate actions between Fang Yun and her sister, and her sister's docile attitude towards Fang Yun as if she was tamed, Barbara could accept it again... Fang Yun would be her brother-in-law in the future, and he would be considered a family member.
Thinking of this, Barbara felt somewhat excited, and the bath towel that was tightly wrapped around her loosened a little.
Qin's breathing became a little rapid. At this time, everyone gathered together and Fang Yun was right behind her. The feeling of being targeted by the ruins guards in the office came again, making her body tremble a little.
However, Fang Yun did not intend to embarrass her at this time. Amid Qin's suppressed exclamation, he patted her Knights' Soul three times, and then took Yingmei to another direction to make room for the sisters. Anyway, the topic had been opened at this time, and there was no need to worry about the two of them being embarrassed.
This time, since there was no obstacle, when he slapped the Soul of the Knights, he not only felt the elasticity, but also a kind of shocking feeling that made him unable to let go.
"Hmm..." After he left, Qin's breathing was still a little rapid.
If it had been in the office before, no matter how much Fang Yun tapped her, she would not have reacted so strongly, but now that Barbara was right next to her, the feeling was completely different.
This blonde knight can hardly hold back any longer!
Barbara had felt something was wrong when she heard Qin's exclamation. Seeing her sister's red face, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sister, are you...are you okay? Are you sick?"
"No, it's okay, it's just that the hot spring is too hot." Qin tried to calm her breathing as much as possible and explained as if nothing had happened.
