Chapter 50: Please, Look at Me
But just being watched by you already feels dangerous, okay!? Paimon shuddered. Even Ying was shocked by the cold and dangerous aura on Shenhe's body when she first saw her.
Aside from his temperament, Shenhe's appearance has hardly changed, except that the once brilliant Tong Kong is now covered in an ominous blood red of disgust.
The current Shenhe, looking at the past, gives people a feeling like a bloody knife. And the tip of this knife is facing you, and at any moment it is possible to cut open your chest and gouge out your heart.
It's no wonder Paimon was scared like this. On the list of people Paimon must not offend, Shenhe has soared directly to the first place.
In addition to these, the change in clothing is that Shenhe has more red ropes on his body than before... The way these red ropes were tied to Shenhe's body made Ying look straight in the eyes almost instantly.
Isn't this a tortoiseshell?!
"Shenhe... Who tied these ropes for you..."Ying looked at the red rope that outlined Shenhe's bumpy figure more seductively and highlighted the fleshy feeling, and asked suspiciously.
"It's Master, she said that my ferocity is getting deeper and heavier, and the red rope that binds me needs to be increased." Shenhe's voice was not as indifferent as before, and there was more of a sinister ferocity.
This is still under the pressure of the red rope. Of course, the most important thing is what Zhongli told Shenhe to let her follow the traveler, and only by following the traveler will there be hope of seeing Anping again.
Otherwise, the moment Shenhe was released from the seal, he would go to Ruotuo Dragon King and fight hard.
"Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun..."The corners of Ying's mouth twitched twice. That woman's aesthetic is really... Astringent enough.
But Zhenjun, didn't she think about Shenhe's shame at all?! How will Shenhe, who is bound to tortoiseshell, enter Liyue City?
? The red rope used to suppress Shenhe's ferocity didn't dare to move casually, so she could only take a cloak and drape it on Shenhe's body to cover it.
Even if Shenhe can feel indifferent, but the thought of being tied up like this Shenhe walking beside him, Ying also felt a burst of heat.
If Anping was still alive, seeing Shenhe dressed like this, the horns on his head would definitely pop up... Thinking of Anping, Ying's mood was a little lost.
"Try not to take off this cloak as much as possible..."Facing Ying's advice, Shenhe nodded mechanically.
Will Shenhe really listen to his words obediently, looking at Shenheying in front of him, he was a little worried. Zhongli's request for her help didn't seem to be an easy task.
It's just that thinking that Shenhe has become like this because of Anping's death, Ying will definitely try to help Shenhe return to normal.
"Let's go, let's go back to Liyue City first." Returning to Liyue City with Shenhe, Ying was interrogated several times by the Millelith along the way.
If it weren't for the guarantee of the traveler who saved Liyue, Shenhe, who looked like a murderer at first glance, would have been taken to the General Affairs Department for questioning.
Of course, the premise is that Shenhe will really follow them obediently... As soon as she returned to Liyue City, Ying heard a surprise news.
The Southern Cross fleet has returned to Liyue City from Inazuma and is docking near the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
"Great! We can go to Inazuma! Paimon's ass shook with excitement.
"Go to Inazuma?" Shenhe glanced at Paimon with some confusion. But even such a malicious gaze made Paimon shudder and shrink behind Ying's back with his ass covered.
"That's right, Paimon and I will go to Inazuma with the Southern Cross fleet in a little while, but you don't have to follow us when the time comes." Ying explained.
"No, I'll go with you." Shenhe didn't even hesitate. She knew that Zhongli was the emperor.
So she absolutely believed Zhongli's words. No matter where the traveler is going, in order to see Anping again, she will definitely follow.
"That's not good," Ying tried to persuade Shenhe. It's just that it's okay to follow her in Liyue, but in a place as strange as Inazuma, Ying doesn't have the face to help Shenhe in Liyue Mondstadt stop some trouble.
"Wherever you go, I will follow you, and if you know what I want, please let me stay with you." Shenhe suddenly interrupted Ying's words, and slammed Ying's chest deer into a word.
Although Ying is not a female tong, Shen He's straight-ball speech really made Ying a little unbearable. Fortunately, Ying knew the reason why Shenhe would obediently follow her and listen to her, otherwise it would be really difficult not to let her think too much.
First of all, Ying is not a female pun. But Shenhe is really good! No wonder Anping that guy... Alas.
"Let's talk about it then, let's go to Guyun Pavilion to discuss with Captain Beidou first..."... After returning to Haizhi Island for a few days, Anping had already prepared the items for the sacrifice.
The injury that was punched by the skirmishers was not noticed by Xinhai at all, and it was a relatively ordinary injury for Anping today.
Without the help of the power of the abyss, he could easily heal himself. After being reminded by Miko, Anping really didn't want to use the power of the abyss as much as possible now.
So as not to be targeted by the being who doesn't even dare to mention his name. Relying on the help of Xinhai, they successfully reproduced the taste of ordinary bubble tea in the past few days.
If Anping is allowed to come by himself, I am afraid that it will lead to a disastrous result. However, Kokomi was one step ahead of the shadow and indulged in the taste of bubble tea.
Every morning when she gets up, she will make herself a cup of bubble tea to replenish her energy value.
"There are different methods of sacrifice, but there is also a very important part of the sacrifice method of the Coral Palace, which is to offer a piece of peace and happiness to the gods." After Anping prepared the sacrificial items, Kokomi explained to Anping the most important ritual of this sacrifice.
"Dancing?!" An Ping was stunned.
"That's right, if you don't dance the Taihei Kagura Dance, the process of the sacrifice is imperfect, and you can't offer gifts to the gods."
"Why is it only now that such an important thing is being said..."
"You went out a few times ago, and haven't we been researching bubble tea all this time?" Xinhai opened his mouth in dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, it seems that I am indeed to blame..."An Ping scratched his head. The heart of the past, who was confused, quietly breathed a sigh of relief in the bottom of his heart.
In fact, Xinhai didn't forget about it, and the main reason why he didn't tell Anping to dance was... Because I want to teach Anping to dance, my heart has stage fright.
The Great Mikami of the Sea has been dead for hundreds of years, and when the position of the current god and shrine maiden was passed into the hands of Kokomi, there was no longer a reason to hold a sacrifice.
Kokomi didn't skip a single official Taihei Kagura dance. Although he had studied before inheriting the position of the current god and witch, Kokomi didn't know what it was like to jump, and he didn't dare to jump in front of Anping.
She was worried that she wouldn't look good when she jumped. But now that the Anping sacrifice is about to be prepared, Xinhai really has no way to hide it.
I hope that in the days when Anping was away, her evening practice was fruitful.
"It's okay, the Taiping Kagura Dance is not complicated, Anpei, you will definitely be able to learn it soon." Xinhai is not only relieving peace, but also relieving himself.
Such a simple dance will definitely not be ugly to dance on your own. But when he thought that he was going to dance in front of Anping, Xinhai was still a little nervous.
"Then without further ado, teach me now!" Anping is still confident in his dancing talent, after all, he learned some basic dance steps with Yula when he was in Mondstadt.
Although I stepped on the tips of Yula several times.
"Now... It's still night, after all, whether it's a witch or a rebel during the day, it's possible to look for me..."It's okay to be seen by Anping, if it's seen by the witch or the rebel soldiers again... The energy value of the heart sea will definitely plummet, and it may not be able to recover for a few days.
She wasn't very good at working in front of people in the first place. Even in the face of the people's speeches, my heart will involuntarily tremble, but my heart has been well hidden.
Because the god witch of the present man means that he bears the will of the gods in the body of a mortal and protects the land on behalf of the gods.
This is Kokomi's responsibility. Kokomi struggled to carry it on his small shoulders. So Kokomi and Anping agreed to leave the Coral Palace at night and go to the beach to teach him to dance.
When the bright moon rose from the sea, Anping followed Kokomi out of the Coral Palace and came to a golden sand beach on the outskirts of Haiji Island.
The cool sea breeze made Xinhai feel refreshed, and while walking on the beach with Anping, Xinhai casually picked up a colorful seashell and put it on his hair.
"How? Is it good-looking? After putting on the shell, Xinhai tilted her head and asked An Ping with her hands behind her back, at this moment she temporarily forgot her identity as a god and witch, no different from the girl next door.
"Kokomi is so good-looking." Looking at the quiet heart in the moonlight, An Ping smiled and praised.
"It's too perfunctory." Xinhai was not very satisfied with Anping's answer.
"But I'm telling the truth, Xinhai is already very good-looking, no matter what decoration you wear, it's just icing on the cake, and whether you have it or not doesn't affect your own beauty in the slightest." Perfunctory is really perfunctory, but even perfunctory Anping is the truth.
But if you string the shells with pearls and make underwear and wear them on Kokomi's body... Anping looked at the shells on the coral-colored hair of the heart sea and had a bad fantasy.
Then he quickly slapped himself in the face.
"What's wrong?" Xinhai looked at An Ping suspiciously.
"There are mosquitoes."
"Huh? Have it? Xinhai looked around suspiciously.
"It's all a small thing, so let's teach me to dance that Taiping Kagura Dance first..."An Ping diverted the topic.
"Hmm...", at the mention of dancing, Kokomi became nervous again.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, so I'll show you first." Xinhai took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the tension in his heart, and then walked a little farther away from Anping.
"Please... Take a good look at me. In the moonlight, Kokomi stretched his limbs and danced the dance of Taihei Kagura.
When the sea of hearts danced, even the waves seemed to accompany her, and the moonlight shrouded her like a spotlight.
Every step and every movement of the heart is natural, quietly combined with the rhythm of the waves and the wind.
When a ribbon floats out of Kokomi's shoulders and walks step by step to the surface of the sea, the fish in the sea gather to dance with it, the dolphins gather and sing, the whitebait jumps out of the water and converges into a ring behind Kokomi, and even the whales rise to the rhythm of Kokomi's dance steps.
Anping, who had never experienced dance and could resonate with nature, was fascinated by it. After a dance, although I felt that I had played perfectly, my heart, which was still a little nervous, walked in front of An Ping step by step.
"How... Is it good-looking? Looking at the stunned Anping, a stone fell to the ground in Xinhai's heart.
"Beautiful! It's the best dance I've ever seen! An Ping excitedly held Xinhai's hand like a fanatical fan who saw his pursuit of stars.
"Can you jump again and show me?!"
"But... Am I here to teach you how to dance? Why don't you try to dance first..."Even dancing in front of An Ping, Xinhai still felt a little shy and embarrassed.
"Ahh It seems like this..."After watching Kokomi's dance, Anping forgot what he was here for.
"You don't remember anything, do you?" Xinhai looked at An Ping with some concern.
"How is that possible! Just watch that dance once and it will be imprinted in your mind forever! "After being praised by Anping so much, the energy value of the heart is up.
"That's good, you jump according to the memory first, I'll take a look, and I'll give you guidance next to me."
"It's okay..."Isn't it just dancing, anyway, Anping didn't skip. And jumping alone is not so embarrassing as stepping on the feet of the heart.
Anping opened up a little distance from Xinhai, and according to the posture of Xinhai in his memory, he began to dance.
When Anping danced, the sea breeze stopped, the waves surged, the fish that had not dispersed disappeared, and even the moon took refuge in the dark clouds.
Kokomi burst out laughing.
"That's not the case, are you practicing boxing... The limbs are too stiff and soft, imagine the posture of kelp floating in the water..."
"Huh? How can hands flutter like kelp..."
"It's just that feeling, it's not like you want your hands to really be like kelp..."Kokomi walked over to Anping's side and began to help him correct his mistakes.
At this moment at the Narujin Shrine, Yae Miko held her stomach and laughed.
"I didn't expect the little guy to dance like this... But for the sake of you, I made me enjoy a little witch's Taihei Kagura dance, so I won't laugh at you... But if you don't bring me bubble tea next time I come to Narujin Taisha... I'm going to tell the public, little one, how you dance...", Anping, who was learning Taihei Kagura dance from Kokomi, had a cold war.
However, Anping's learning talent is really not covered. In just half a night, although it didn't reach the level of Kokomi, at least it was practiced to the level that Kokomi had studied for two and a half years.
Everything was ready, and on the second night, Anping arrived at the statue of the Seven Heavens with prepared sacrificial supplies and bubble tea, as well as a series of sweets.
