Chapter 317: Super Big Bathhouse
Underwater Dragon Palace Castle.
Zhang Su and Princess Otohime discuss the reopening of the large communal bath.
"Do you want to expand the large communal bath? This place is really nice. "Princess Otohime felt amused and a little shy. Because she used to play alone in this open area, it carried a lot of her personal memories.
"yes, I mean modern, look at this place, it's full of potential." Zhang Su was full of praise for the ancient baths in Dragon Palace City.
The baths are large enough to accommodate a hundred people, with black, white and gray bricks at the bottom, supported by sixteen basalt columns around it, and the dome is curved, and the water temperature is very hot, presumably using geothermal energy.
The pool itself is long and divided into a sitz and deep bathing area. The circulatory system is excellent, with a constant introduction of deep seawater to keep it stale.
On the walls of the bathrooms, painters have left semi-weathered murals depicting landscapes such as royal corals, kelp forests, gliding spotted rays and imperial angelfish.
"I also think that it is too much for one person to use such a large Dragon Palace bath, so it is better for everyone to come down and warm up." Princess Otohime was curious, "Do you have any plans?" β
"For example, replace this old chandelier." Zhang Su looked up at the octopus-shaped chandelier, decorated with the horns of narwhals and nautilus shells, filled with seawater, which seemed to be lit by jellyfish, and was no longer working, "There are also some open spaces next to it, which can be expanded into a sauna, steam, and sweat." β
"I've never heard of it!" Princess Otohime smiled and said, "But it's really dirty here, and I can't take care of such a large bath by myself." β
"No problem, let's clean up and bring in some electric heating, water pumps, lighting and cables." Zhang Su has a plan.
He strode across the tub, reaching out to gesture to the surrounding structures and pipe networks. Soon it will be completely renovated with electricity, a modern water cycle and a new system. These are several days of work for ordinary people, and a construction team is needed, but with Zhang Su's strength, speed and experience, he can do it quickly and tirelessly.
"You're going to make this place as pretty as the land?" Princess Otohime followed behind Zhang Su.
"It's beautiful enough, all it needs is some upgrades. For example, these old columns have to retain their beautiful facades and recast the interiors with modern polymer materials. Another example is the filter below, which can get some real water purifiers from the building materials market, with filter membranes and quartz sand. Then there is electricity, which will bring electrical appliances to the entire Dragon Palace City, all kinds of convenient furniture, there will be it. Zhang Su said.
He immediately began to measure.
The way it looks. Princess Otohime thought to herself. What a likable guy. She saw a vigorous vitality in Zhang Su, and she was also infected by it, so she began to help.
"Will there be heating, and an electric stove? Just like in the Anxin Temple? "Princess Otohime is curious.
She already had a first impression of modern human life, especially electricity, which was an amazing source of energy.
The source of electricity is sunlight, which is cheap and inexpensive. And electricity can drive all gadgets, it can make fire, it can convert into heat. It can also turn the ordinary glass plate into a small colorful world that can act and broadcast, whether walking or sleeping, everyone carries it, as if they are constantly cleaning the glass all day long, as if all dreams and hopes can bloom from it.
"Of course." Zhang Su nodded, "When we finish this decoration, we will call everyone over." β
After 2 days of busy work day and night, Zhang Su and Princess Otohime basically completed the repair of the Dragon Palace Bath.
Now, it pumps pure seawater from the deep sea, which can meet the needs of many people. Long cables are laid from under the portal into Ryugu Castle, which provides electricity for many of the facilities here.
Zhang Su stepped back and admired their masterpiece, the once dim and dilapidated large communal bath, now shimmering with exquisite vintage finishes and glowing light strips. The dusty floor has been covered with light tiles to make it easy to walk on and to protect the original old panels. The water itself is also purified and shimmers with a brilliant pale blue glow.
The best of all are the whale-looking splashing figurines, carefully selected by Zhang Su, they are now scattered all over the bath, the water is warm, if you bathe with your back to them, how warm it is. Hot water makes people feel clean, and Zhang Su feels that bathing is more powerful than rinsing.
Now, the city of Ryugu outside has also introduced electricity. Due to the lack of fuel, most of Ryugu Castle is lit by biological light such as corals and jellyfish, and now there are mood lights hanging everywhere, and Ryugu Castle is as bright as day, with hundreds of lanterns shining on all sides, making this underwater palace even more charming than before. At the same time, it is disguised as a stone lamp, a water plant lantern and a jellyfish lamp to avoid destroying the original classical feeling.
"Feeling...... It's amazing. Princess Otohime looked around with interest.
She never thought that there would be such a day in Ryugu City. The main hall, the side hall, the whale cemetery, the arsenal, the hatchery, the black water warehouse and other areas are all bathed in the glow. Originally, she had long been accustomed to the dark tone here, and she never thought that it would be so beautiful when lit up, and her eyes couldn't see enough, and her heart was even happier.
"Great, isn't it?" Zhang Su is also very satisfied, many of the lights were hung up by him himself, and now he has a sense of accomplishment after lighting them, "The city is seeing light again." β
"It's like rising to the surface of the sea, being illuminated by the sun." Princess Otohime clasped her hands together, her eyes reflecting the light around her, "Thank you." β
"It's okay." Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief.
"But what is it all for?" Princess Otohime turned her head to look at him, "So much hard work......"
"It's nothing special, it's for me, for us, for you, for everyone, whatever you want." Zhang Su said honestly, "I care about you. β
"I'm going to get everybody." Princess Otohime's dragon tail stood upright, so she was about the same height, she kissed Zhang Su, then turned back and left easily.
How does it feel? - Zhang Su recalled the kiss left by Princess Otohime, whether to say it or not, it really made his heartstrings flutter. This resplendent Dragon Palace City may be the vast home house where they store their feelings, and the corridors and houses have witnessed their acquaintance and encounter, as well as all the efforts and dedication made for the Dragon Palace.

In Saho's commissary, shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, hair net, and bath towel were sold out at once.
"It's never been a great start!" Saho quickly emptied the shelves, while the children and the staff of the Anxin House were holding bath baskets and filling them with supplies.
"Short hair." Natsuki looked up blankly at Saho's short hair.
"yes, you should take the scissors and click it too." Saho was happy with her new look, and was even happier that someone noticed it.
"You scared the hell." Natsuki said.
"Woo ......" Bomb didn't recognize the appearance of Saho's short hair, and thought it was a new child, hiding behind Natsuki.
"Fool, she has no money. I only recognize money, I don't care about her, she should also learn to be like an adult. Saho patted his hand on the counter, "What are you going to do?" Why does everyone seem to be going to take a shower, what are the activities? What festivals? β
"Prepare to go through the tunnel and go to the Dragon Palace Bath." Natsuki said she took the winter heating bill out of her pocket and put it on the counter.
Every year at the beginning of spring, Natsuki has the most money. She walked around throughout the winter, heating the witches who felt cold, and charged a more reasonable fee than Saho's commissary.
"The Great Communal Bath? What. "Saho doesn't understand.
"The Great Bath." Natsuki didn't bother to talk to Saho. She took a new vat of shower gel, soap, and towels, and left with the bomb.
"Hey, where's my brother? What about my information sources? Forget it, forget it, seeing is believing! Annoyed, Saho climbed out of the counter and followed them over to watch.
Following Natsuki and Bomb through the gate, Saho walked into Ryugu Castle, which was brightly lit after the electricity was turned on.
This place is simply turned upside down, the original sea clan court was dim and gloomy, ancient and old, now it is like a big castle in a playground, everywhere is full of life, everyone follows the light on the ground to the dragon palace bathhouse.
Saho looked at the colorful light effects dancing on all sides, and she still remembered that when she had just responded to Red Flame's call to rescue Ryugu Castle, it was still a ruin, buried in the sea five or six meters deep. I thought that Princess Otohime's home would be flooded, but I didn't expect it to be revived so soon.
"I said, is everybody already in? Am I the last? Saho rubbed her hands, she hadn't prepared anything.
"Puff~" Fried fried and made a face with Saho, and then ran in.
"Bear child." Saho pouted.
She walked into the large bathroom and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
They were indeed there, enjoying the wonderful spa services. And she had to "open her eyes wide", otherwise she wouldn't be able to see clearly.
Princess Otohime, Renwu, Lescollin, Reina, Shinjo Mitama ...... Even Katie came back as promised!
It's a magnificent landscape. Saho looked down at himself again, and couldn't help but feel the unevenness of the world.
"No matter!" Saho was also going to have a good time, so she simply cleaned herself up and left her things in the entrance area like everyone else, then accelerated her sprint and got up from the rest with all her might, "Cannon activated!" β
Bang!
She flicked in the air, and Mrs. Xincheng Miyu raised her hand to send Saho away with an air barrier, and if she hit her headfirst in the deep water, the splash of water would break everyone's rare Yaxing.
"Wow~" Splashing the water, the edge weaves into a big cat, lying in the shallow water area with a comfortable water temperature, and feels very warm.
"Oh my God, what kind of water is this! It's a huge threat to my roots. Look at this amazing alkalinity, scary salt! And you can endure it here! Qingxiao fled.
"Go outside." Xincheng Miyu gave Saho a task, "Go and see where my family Murohua went, just send her one." β
"Rogerβ" Saho rolled off the wall and left the pool to find Muroka.
