Chapter 15: The Taste of the Sea

As night fell, two sneaky figures flew out of the Sangoguya. It is Anping, who is in urgent need of discharge, and the heart that accompanies him.

"I still think it's cool for you to go up the waterfall like this..."Looking at Xinhai running on the waterfall, Anping couldn't hide his envious eyes.

Walking on the water, Xinhai will have a blue feather coat that seems to be condensed by the water element, making her temperament dignified and dazzling, and dreamy.

Anhei asked Kokomi for advice on this technique of walking on water, but unfortunately, Kokomi replied that this was the power of the sea that she could only use as a god and witch of the present person, and the protection of the deep sea was not something that could be done simply by using elemental power.

An Ping can only express regret about this.

"On the contrary, I am a little envious of being able to fly freely like you..."Xinhai is also very envious of Anping's means of flying freely.

"But in fact, flying is quite boring, and after a long time, I feel that it is no different from the wings of the wind... If you want to experience it, I can fly with you in my arms. Anping didn't have any crooked thoughts when he said this, he simply listened to Xinhai and said envy, and wanted her to experience the feeling of flying.

But when it comes to the ears of the heart, flying to see is not the point. The point is to hold her. Kokomi's cheeks flushed.

"Forget it... It's not good if someone else sees it..."

"Yes." Anping didn't think much about it, he was already showing signs of electricity leakage, and he was in a hurry to discharge.

This was the second time he had gone to discharge electricity since he lived in the Sango Palace. Last time, Kokomi was also with him. An Pingju was embarrassed.

The two of them knew about the assassin, and Kokomi didn't expose him in the end. When he came to the beach, Anping put his hand into the water and released it for a while, and he was immediately refreshed.

There is a refreshing feeling of waking up in the morning and releasing the urine that has been held all night. Xinhai squatted quietly beside An Ping, looking at the sea with electric light, feeling a little sorry for the small fish that fluttered and turned up.

"Anyway..."Anping remembered the incident that had brought his heart from the sea not long ago.

"Huh?" Xinhai turned his head to look at An Ping, who was hesitant to speak.

“... It is... What did you do when you dived into the sea that time? An Ping hesitated, but still asked.

Anyway, Xinhai already knows, and the broken jar is broken.

"You said that... In fact, I just want to stay alone in the deep sea for a while..."

"Did you sneak out the night before and go diving?"

"That's right... The atmosphere at the bottom of the sea is quiet, and there are schools of fish swimming around, so it feels like all your worries will sink to the bottom of the sea with you, so it is a great place to refresh yourself. Kokomi looked at the dark sea at night, and his eyes were extremely healing.

"Just be careful of encountering assassins who can discharge..."An Ping couldn't help but complain to himself.

"That's right." Xinhai also looked at An Ping with a smile on his face.

"I'm really sorry about that... I didn't know you were down there, and the back hem of your clothes was a bit like a fish's tail, so it was too late for me to see it was you... The point is that I lied to you in the end... I'm really sorry! Anping still apologized to Xinhai seriously.

"Don't mention things that have already passed, and I didn't get angry after knowing that it was you. It's just a coincidence, after you came to the island, I sneaked out twice, and you caught me..."Looking at Anping's figure reflected in the water, Xinhai had a smile on his face, and sighed that this is probably the so-called fate.

"To put it mildly, I'm like you, and I've also been fried as a fish once... And it's a kid... So much so that for a long time, I was called a big fish brother, and if you go to Mondstadt in the future, don't go into the water, lest you be blown up as a big fish sister. The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and Anping also shares some past troubles with Xinhai.

"And this kind of thing? Tell me how you got blown up..."Curious Xinhai raised his head and bumped Anping on the shoulder, urging him to tell him about this interesting story.

After listening to Anping's description of the owner of the Lockup Chamber, Mondstadt's Arms King, Fish Terminator, Li, Kokomi covered her mouth and laughed.

"I won't dare to go to Mondstadt anymore when you say that..."

"Actually, Klee is still very well-behaved, and spends most of her time in the confinement cell, so Kokomi just don't go diving in Mondstadt..."

"But if the lockdown is not lifted, even if I want to go to Mondstadt to see the scenery you mentioned, it will be impossible." Xinhai suddenly became melancholy.

"Aren't the rebels working to lift the lockdown and eye hunting orders? I'm sure you'll be able to do it, and I'll help you. An Ping patted Xinhai's bare shoulders to give her encouragement, and at the same time, he himself deeply understood the meaning of the old shoulders.

was touched by Anping's shoulder, and Xinhai felt a slight tingling sensation all over his body. Could it be that the thunder element accumulated in his body has not been cleaned up?

Kokomi couldn't help but hug his shoulder. However, Anping's words still made her feel very warm.

"With your help, I'm a little more sure."

"It's just that I can't participate in the frontal battlefield, so I can only provide assistance from other sources as much as possible, and try to close the gap between you and the shogunate army. But the fighting power of the rebels ... Seriously, let alone breaking through the defense line of the shogunate army, even if it is the current one-acre and three-point land of Yayu Island, it is still unknown whether it can be defended. Anping felt a little headache.

The overall quality of the rebels was uneven, and the top-level combat strength was barely able to confront the shogunate army with the owner of the Vision who defected to Kaiji Island.

However, the backbone soldiers who really decided the direction of the battle were really miserable, and they were completely crushed by the shogunate army in terms of quantity and quality.

It's simply the difference between the chengguan brigade and the regular army. The contrast in strength between the two sides is miserable. An Ping was really worried that he would have to wipe the rebels' butts again and again in the future.

When the time comes, I will make Raiden General anxious, and I am afraid that my death is approaching.

"I understand that, but the overall fighting strength of the Resistance is not something that can be remedied overnight... I'm actually ready for that, though, but it takes a little bit of time... But during this period of time, even if the territory of Bayu Island is lost, there is no problem for the rebels to hold Haizhi Island no matter what. ”

"So don't worry, no matter what the battle situation on Bayu Island is, you don't need to make any more moves, you just need to recuperate on Haiji Island with peace of mind." Kokomi gave Anping a reassuring expression.

"Since you're ready, then I'm relieved. But... In a week or two, I'll probably be out of Haizu Island..."

"Anping, do you want to leave Haiji Island? Do you want to go back to Liyue? Hearing An Ping say that he was leaving Haiji Island, Xinhai's heart tightened for a moment, and he asked in a nervous tone.

"I said I wanted to help you, how could I go back to Liyue now..."Although Anping really wanted to go back, and if he could go back to Liyue, wouldn't it be easier for him to bring some people back to help Xinhai.

"I want to go to Inazuma Castle and help Kokomi solve some material problems." If Anping knew that General Raiden had personally issued a wanted warrant for him, he might have immediately dispelled this idea and would rather concentrate on studying seawater rice cultivation techniques on Haiji Island.

"You're going to Inazuma Castle? But Raiden Shogun is in the castle tower of Inazuma Castle, will it be dangerous if you go to Inazuma Castle? Didn't you tell me before that you went to Yatsu Island and were chased by thunder and lightning, and even attracted the attention of Raiden Shogun because you led the thunder and cracked the warships of the shogunate army..."Hearing that Anhei didn't want to go back, Kokomi's heart relaxed, but when he thought that he was going to Inazuma Castle, he was still worried about him.

"Don't worry, God is not omnipotent, as long as I don't mention her name and don't attack the shogunate army, she won't be able to find me after the makeover. Or if I stay on Haizhi Island, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, wouldn't it be even more implicating to kill Haizhi Island. Anping explained with a smile and Xinhai.

He has been in contact with Zhongli Wendy for a long time, and he knows the gods more deeply than Kokomi. And in order to solve the material problem of Haiji Island in the shortest possible time, Anhei also had to go to Inazuma City.

Only there can Anping procure the materials he wants. On Haizhi Island, Anping can't spend anything with Mora.

If it weren't for Mora's soft texture, he would have directly equipped the rebels with Mora.

"That's... You must be careful, even if the purchase of materials is unsuccessful, it is the most important thing to protect yourself. Life is hard, everyone can still survive, you must not force it. "Kokomi also knows that if you want to solve the problem of resistance supplies, Anhei going to Inazuma Castle is the most suitable way.

Those who are now able to go to Inazuma Castle in the rebel army can't leave, and they can't get past the shogunate army's defense line on the side of Kujo Jinya.

It was by stationing troops on Kannazuka's side that the shogunate forbade the passage of any merchant fleet, which cut off the supply of Kaiji Island.

"Even if you don't remind me, I won't mess around, I know very well how terrifying the gods are..."Anping wanted to brag that he had two god friends, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.

Lest there be a chance that Kokomi will really see them in the future, and the filter of the gods will be directly shattered.

"Whether it's the rebels, the people of Haiji Island, or I... I owe you so much... I really can't think of anything that can repay you..."Xinhai decided to let Anping recuperate in Wanglong Village, which was just a small act of kindness, and he still had the idea of selling Captain Beidou a favor.

How could he have thought that after two months, Anping had already given a hundred and ten times the reward. This made Xinhai face Anping, and his heart was full of indebtedness.

Obviously, Xinhai knows very well that as a superior person, she shouldn't have such a mentality. But if Kokomi can do that kind of thing, he won't be tired from the government affairs of Haiji Island.

"If I'm really sorry... Why don't you give me a knee pillow... In the past, people often asked me to sit on my lap and look at the stars on nights like this. An Ping pinched his chin and groaned, giving a condition that he had wanted to try for a long time.

"Knees... Knee pillow? Kokomi covered his mouth with his hands in surprise.

"Isn't it too abrupt, in fact, it's just to see that you're depressed, just kidding..."

"If that makes up for you..."Kokomi's hand covering his mouth slowly lowered, and he sat down on the shore, his face gradually flushing as he stretched out his legs.

"Of course you can!" An Ping, who was excited, was about to lie down and put his head on Xinhai's lap. He's forgotten the last time he enjoyed the laplow service!

Kokomi's thighs are half wrapped in smooth purple gradient white silk, and half are exposed. An Ping's head pillowed and enjoyed two completely different touches.

Half silky cool, half delicate and warm. But it's all the same softness, the same comfort. This is the perfect pillow in the world to support all dreams.

The smell of Xinhai also satisfies Anping's fantasy of all the beauty of the sea. Like a chilled soda under the scorching sun, like a coconut fruit blown off by the sea breeze, like a lemon splashing juice, or like a gorgeous coral at the bottom of the sea.

Everything is so fresh and natural, pure and fragrant.

"However, you just said that people used to put your legs on your pillow..."An Ping pillowed on his lap, Xinhai was a little nervous, but soon Xinhai remembered what An Ping had just said.

Xinhai suddenly had an inexplicable sour taste in his heart. An Ping keenly smelled this sour smell.

"I mean, my grandmother... When I was a child, she made me sit on my lap, telling stories about the stars in the sky, and coaxing me to sleep..."Anping is not lying.

When he was a child, Grandma Ruoxin did often lull him to sleep like this.

"I see..."The sour taste in Kokomi's heart instantly dissipated.

"And my grandmother would often run it down my forehead, and she felt like I would fall asleep a little faster... To be honest, when I was a child, I was always worried that my grandmother would fall asleep with my hairline raised, and I always dreamed that I had a bald piece on the top of my head... Fortunately, when I grow up, my hairline is quite normal..."

"Poof... I'll give you a touch, but you can't fall asleep, you're heavy, and there's no way I can move you back. Xinhai's hand rested on Anping's forehead and gently touched his head.

"I'm not a child again, how can I sleep so well... Speaking of which, you haven't dived into the sea to rest the last two times you've been to the beach, so it's all my fault... Next time, why don't you stay away from me, so that it won't affect you when I discharge..."An Ping thought that Xinhai had just accompanied him to discharge these two times, but he hadn't had a good rest, and he was a little ashamed.

“... I've been in good shape lately, and I don't have to dive into the sea to rest. Xinhai couldn't say to Anping that when he was short of energy recently, as long as he went to see Anping and talked to him, he could replenish enough energy to support his work.

Recently, Kokomi's notebook is full of records.
