Chapter 94 Negotiating
"Modify the wrong historical records?" Coral Palace was a little confused.
"You beautified the war of aggression and turned it into a war of survival. Isn't this a mistake?" Ueno Chiki asked harshly.
Coral Palace was speechless for a moment.
Because the war launched by Oropas back then, no matter how hard it was covered up, was an aggressive war full of crimes.
"It's time for you, the people of Kaijima, to wake up and stop allowing blind and ridiculous hatred to continue." Ueno Chiki's words were sharp.
"But, Lord Kaiji Daigosho died for us, how can we tarnish his name?" Coral Palace Xinhai's tone was equally firm.
Ueno Chiki heard this and shook his finger gently. "I have no intention of defiling the reputation of Kaiji Ogosho. Instead, I want to point out the sinners and instigators of the war, the Miko Mengyun sisters. It was they who were blinded by their own interests and instigated and deceived Kaiji Ogosho!"
Coral Palace Xinhai still shook his head. According to records, it was not the Mengyun sisters who urged Kaiji Daigosho to launch a war.
"Coral Palace Xinhai, there are some things I don't want to explain too clearly. Who urged Kaiji Daigosho to start a war? And who hid the divination results before the war and watched Him go to his death?
God loves people, but you don’t seem to love God very much. After God left, you became extremely pious. "
Every word in Ueno Chiki's words was like countless broken glass fragments, sharp and cold, piercing Coral Palace's heart fiercely.
Her body trembled, barely able to bear the pain.
She knew the answer, but couldn't say it out loud.
"Ueno Chiki, I know what you mean." She sighed softly, "It is our Coral Palace that is sorry for the Mengyun sisters."
"Since you agree to our conditions, in exchange, our Inazuma shogunate will fully help you solve the problem of food and clothing on Kaiji Island. I can personally promise you that in three years, no one will starve to death on Kaiji Island." Ueno Chiki vowed.
As soon as these words came out, the shock in Coral Palace's heart surged like waves.
For hundreds of years, the people of Haizhi Island have been plagued by hunger, which is like a heavy yoke that makes them unable to breathe.
Despite numerous clever ideas, countless talented people on Kaijima Island have never been able to find an effective way to solve this problem.
And the man in front of him, Chiki Ueno, actually claimed that he could solve this problem in just three years.
Her eyes were full of surprise and confusion. She looked at Ueno Chiki, trying to find some flaws in his expression, some signs that could prove that he was lying.
However, she only saw confidence and determination on his face. His eyes were like a hard stone, smashing into her heart and making it impossible for her to remain calm.
"If you can really solve our Haizhi Island's hunger problem, we are willing to accept your conditions. However, you must first tell me some of your plans."
In his previous life, Chiki Ueno was just a failed author and not a knowledgeable person, but fortunately he was born in a great motherland where people lived a prosperous life through their own efforts and wisdom.
“First, I will plan and adjust Haizhi Island’s industries, significantly reduce agriculture with high input and low output, and vigorously develop its own advantageous industries, such as aquaculture, pearls, tourism and so on.
At the same time, resources are integrated to achieve efficient output, including rational allocation of resources for various industries, optimization of production processes, and improvement of product quality and added value.
........
Through the implementation of these measures, Haizhi Island's industries will be better developed and efficient economic growth will be achieved.
This will also bring more job opportunities and income sources to the residents of Haizhi Island and improve their living standards.”
The people present had different reactions to Ueno Chiki's long speech.
Kujo Sara felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and she really wanted to find a place to have a good sleep.
Mochizuki looked confused, not knowing what Ueno Chiki was talking about.
Coral Palace Xinhai looked thoughtful, as if he understood Ueno Chiki's suggestion.
Seeing the reaction of Coral Palace Xinhai, Ueno Chishu was a little worried. He was worried that Coral Palace Xinhai might not understand something, so he asked carefully, "Is there anything you don't understand about my advice?"
She thought for a moment, then looked up at Chiki Ueno, "I understand your suggestion, Chiki Ueno. I think your idea is good, but I want to know more about how these measures will be implemented."
Hearing Coral Palace Xinhai's question, Ueno Chishu breathed a sigh of relief, "I will write a detailed plan on how to implement it. But before that, Kaiji Island must sign a peace treaty."
Coral Palace Xinhai did not agree, but said: "This is a serious matter, I still need to think about it."
Ueno Chiki sighed inwardly. As expected, success was not so easy. However, he was not discouraged. He knew that as long as he gave Coral Palace Xinhai some more time, she would definitely agree to sign the treaty.
He believed in his own judgment, and also believed in the wisdom and decisiveness of Coral Palace's heart.
"I understand your considerations, Coral Palace Xinhai." Ueno Chiki said with a smile.
Then, the two of them stood up together and left the negotiation site.
After taking a few steps, Xinhai of the Coral Palace saw an extremely familiar figure. The person was more beautiful and charming than he remembered. She walked towards him quickly.
At this moment, Coral Palace was extremely excited and happy, waiting for that man's kiss and hug.
But when the man came closer, she saw clearly that there was another girl behind him.
It would be fine if the girl was pure and cute, but she actually had white hair on her face, which was totally unfair!
Chapter 95 So, love will disappear
Coral Palace Xinhai looked at Yingmei with resentment, and there was unspeakable sadness in his eyes, "Traveler, didn't you promise me that you would come back to see me?"
Yingmei rubbed her head a little embarrassedly. She really had forgotten about this. "Ah ha, Xinhai, about this, I've been really busy lately."
Paimon beside her glanced at her with disdain. She was busy with nothing, lazy and ate all day long. Recently, she was obsessed with Columbia and didn't even care about looking for the Thunder God's Eye.
"By the way, this is Ueno Chiki's cousin Columbia." She took the initiative to introduce her to Coral Palace Xinhai.
Coral Palace Xinhai turned around and saw Columbia's skin was as white as jade, her eyes were deep black, like the stars twinkling in the night sky, her long hair was as silky and smooth, and naturally curled around her shoulders, giving her a unique elegance.
Coral Palace Xinhai could feel that this girl had an unusual aura, an otherworldly temperament, as if she did not belong to this world.
"Hello, I'm Xinhai from Coral Palace." Xinhai from Coral Palace said very kindly.
However, Columbia did not react at all. She just stared blankly at the bow on Coral Palace Xinhai's chest, then sighed and said to herself, "It's too small. I shouldn't be able to hide in it."
Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly felt unwell.
"That's not what she meant." Yingmei explained quickly and shook Columbia, who was still in a daze, hard.
After being shaken by Yingmei, Columbia finally returned to normal after being derailed. She remembered what she had just said and thought about it seriously.
Then, looking at the chest of Coral Palace Xinhai, he said again, "That's what I mean. It's too small. I can't hide in it."
Coral Palace's heart was no longer able to hold back and he ran away.
When Yingmei saw that something was wrong, she immediately chased after him.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Columbia was very confused.
At this time, she saw Ueno Chiki approaching, so she stepped forward and asked, "Codename Ueno Chiki, I just said that the butterfly knot on Coral Palace Xinhai's chest is too small and I can't hide in it, why did she run away excitedly?"
At first, Ueno Chiki didn't quite understand what she said, but when he thought about Columbia's previous outrageous behavior, he suddenly understood the reason.
"Don't comment on other people's size in front of them in the future. It's very hurtful."
"Is that so? But..." Columbia asked blankly.
Ueno Chiki nodded in confirmation. In fact, whether it is a man or a woman, they will be very concerned about this issue.
......
Yingmei caught up with the depressed Coral Palace Xinhai on a beach.
The sea breeze blew gently, blowing up Coral Palace Xinhai's light pink hair, making it dance lightly, as if telling her mood.
"Xinhai, please don't mind. Columbia is just like that. She doesn't understand the ways of the world. She really didn't mean that." Yingmei said apologetically.
Coral Palace Xinhai gently shook his head, "Traveler, I don't really mind this anymore. What I mind more is you. The way you look at me is completely different from before."
"How is that possible? I'll always love you."
As she spoke, Yingmei took out a pair of white stockings from her space backpack and held them up. "Look, I still have the original white stockings you gave me."
She picked up the pair of white silk again and took a deep breath, as if to prove her feelings for Coral Palace Xinhai.
However, the more she did this, the more disappointed Coral Palace felt.
"Traveler, you already have someone in your heart. It is completely different from liking me. That is true love."
When Yingmei heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a person's face immediately appeared in her mind.
The man's face was clearly visible, and his eyes were full of affection and love for her.
"Uh, Xinhai, I, I, I..." Yingmei wanted to explain herself, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Yingmei's reaction, Coral Palace Xinhai understood about 70% of what was going on. She sighed and said, "That person must be Ueno Chiki!"
Coral Palace Xinhai's words made Yingmei's heart beat faster and her face flushed. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes.
Coral Palace Xinhai smiled bitterly. She knew that this matter could not be changed and could only accept the reality. "Can you tell me about Ueno Chiki?"
"As for him, there's nothing much to say. He's just an ordinary failed author. He used to be a bootlicker. He's also very stupid. He's obviously very poor, but he still wants to help others. When he first met me, he even borrowed money from me. Doesn't he know that I'm notoriously poor?"
Speaking of Ueno Chiki, Yingmei becomes very excited.
Coral Palace felt even more bitter in her heart, for she knew that the more Yingmei belittled him, the deeper her feelings for him were!
Yingmei continued, "Of course, he does have some good qualities. He is gentle and kind, keeps his promises, can cook, and can write novels. By the way, I have a manuscript of a book he just wrote. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay." Coral Palace Xinhai nodded in response.
Yingmei took out the manuscript of "Brokeback Mountain: I Was Kept by a Rich Man and I Fell in Love with This Man" from her backpack.
When Coral Palace Xinhai took the manuscript, she felt that the door to a new world was slowly opening to her.
Chapter 96 Inazuma Light Novel in Liyue
As the New Year approaches, the beautiful and ancient city of Liyue Harbor becomes exceptionally bustling.
The streets are crowded with cars and people are bustling around in every corner.
The most lively and busiest place is Wanwen Collection. From upstairs to downstairs, it is crowded with people, and the stream of people queuing up to buy books is like a long winding dragon, running through the entire floor.
People waited patiently, looking forward to buying the latest best-selling light novel "Night Shift Ward,..."
Last time many people missed the chance to buy "My Husband is Weak and Powerless,...", and this time they don't want to miss "Night Shift Ward,..." again.
Among the people queuing, there was a young man who was particularly eye-catching. He had a delicate and feminine face, held a folding fan in his hand, and was gentle and polite.
"Master Xingqiu, why are you also here to queue up to buy this novel?" Ji Fang, the owner of Wanwen Collection, looked surprised.
Xingqiu was a little confused, "Is there something wrong?"
