Chapter 736 Zhongli (9)
Since everything stabilized, Zhongli rarely left Liyue.
Yun Ci's suggestion reminded Zhongli of the time when the seven gods gathered together to drink.
Zhongli thought it over again and again, and three days later, before the merchant ship set off for Inazuma, he boarded the ship and came to Yunci and Xiaoai.
"I guess I'll have to bother you for a while after coming here."
Xiao Ai looked at Yun Ci, then at Zhong Li, and a slightly vulgar smile appeared on her young face: "I understand, I understand, welcome, Brother Zhong Li!"
Yun Ci leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, and smiled as she made way for him to enter: "Please come in. Your impromptu decision means that we will temporarily live in the same room."
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
Zhongli stepped into the room.
There are two beds in the room. Since Zhongli is coming over, Xiaoai can move over and sleep on one with Yunci. That's just right.
The merchant ship swayed and docked on the isolated island of Narukamijima with three people on board.
After floating on the sea for a few days, Yun Ci could still feel the ground shaking when she landed. She couldn't help shaking a few times, and then Zhongli held her arm firmly.
"Be careful."
"Thank you Mr. Zhongli."
Xiao Ai had already run away noisily. She was observing the surrounding buildings excitedly, touching them from time to time. Then, when no one was paying attention, she quietly broke off a branch and stuffed it into the system space, preparing to go back and plant it for Yun Ci.
There are mostly red maples on the outlying islands. From a distance, most of the buildings are hidden under the red maples, complementing each other.
"Let's go too."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Yunci and Xiaoai like to find a local clothing store and buy some local clothes as soon as they land, then check into a hotel and change clothes before going out to play.
Zhongli was also very interested and chose two pieces of clothing, but overall he still couldn't deviate from his favorite colors.
Of course it looks good.
"this is for you."
Yun Ci held the clothes and looked at the wooden box Zhong Li handed over: "What is this?"
"I think it will be useful to match this outfit."
"Oh, thank you. I'll take it then."
The three of them returned to their rooms, each holding their clothes, and when they came out they looked completely different.
Yun Ci had a green bamboo-shaped hairpin in her hair, and a few drooping bamboo leaves swayed gently as she looked towards Zhongli.
Zhongli praised frankly: "When I saw this hairpin for the first time, I felt it suited you, and it turned out to be true."
Yun Ci touched it lightly and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that this was bought for me. I didn't even prepare anything for Mr. Zhongli."
Zhongli straightened his sleeves and said, "Ms. Yunci has given me many things."
Including this dress.
And all the expenses required for this trip.
"That was given to me by sister Hu Tao as an advance payment for your wages."
"That's fine too."
Yun Ci shook her head helplessly, and the three of them went out together.
"Look, there's a Liyue store over there."
"I have heard of Chuyu Trading Company."
"The specialties sold here are from Umijima."
"We'll go there later. How about buying it locally?"
"'Sailing Wind'! Wine from Mondstadt!"
Now Zhongli was a little unable to walk.
The wine from Mond tastes very authentic, but the price... is a bit expensive.
"'Verdant Wish'...that's Xumi's shop over there!"
Further ahead is the management office of this place, the "International Chamber of Commerce". Although some time has passed since the founding of Inazuma, this place is still very busy with people coming and going.
"Come and take a look at the Tentenya, there are all things related to Inazuma here. Wow, sister, look, there is also a statue of the general!"
"The one in front is the 'Distant Country Supervisor', which should be similar in nature to the Seven Stars of Liyue."
Further ahead is the residence of the "Kanjo Bugyo", which is the management center of all the outlying islands and is not something that ordinary people like them who come here to travel can easily approach.
"Sister, I smell the aroma of oden." Xiao Ai sniffed, and followed the scent around, and brought the two of them to stop next to an oden stall.
"Xiao Ai has a very keen sense of smell."
"She's only good at smelling good food."
Although it’s not time for dinner yet, since I’m here, it would be nice to eat a little.
The island was not very big, so they couldn’t play there for long. However, the three of them had been on the boat before, so after getting ashore, they first had a good sleep in the hotel and then went to Konda Village the next day.
"I want to go to the hot springs opened by Meng Mo sister!"
——That’s what Xiao Ai said.
So the route is to go through the White Fox Field and head to Inazuma Castle.
"What kind of fruit is that?"
"Viola, it's Viola."
Xiao Ai secretly gave Yun Ci a look, then climbed up the tree to pick the fruits, breaking off a few branches.
Of course, the branches that can produce Otogi were not left behind.
Following the path into Gandian Village, Yun Ci's eyes were instantly glued to the fox on the roadside.
Five minutes later, Yun Ci, after touching the fox, followed the two men contentedly.
"Look, there's an island over there."
“It looks like a market.”
Yun Ci and Xiao Ai looked at each other, and then looked at Zhongli together.
Zhongli was a little accustomed to their crooked route and nodded, "Then let's go there first."
"Great!"
Gangin Island.
This is the venue for festivals or fireworks shows. It is not usually very lively, but there are vendors there.
There are many pink and purple trees growing on this island. Xiao Ai doesn’t remember the names of the trees, but she remembers that this tree produces dream wood.
"Dream of wood, dream of wood, maybe this tree is called Dream Tree."
"That's possible."
There was nothing interesting about Ganjin Island when it wasn't a festival. The three of them didn't even have ten minutes to walk around the island and return to their original path.
Xiao Ai cheered and rushed into the cluster of red cherry hydrangeas, directly scattering the petals.
"This can use lightning to gather them into a ball and collect them."
It’s called——Red Sakura Hydrangea.
It’s a very beautiful flower, but its petals are useless and can’t produce a tree. We still have to find its body.
"The real body..." Xiao Ai raised her hands and placed them on her eyes, "It's the sacred cherry tree over there."
I guess they won’t let me break off the branches, so I’ll have to do it secretly.
While chatting and laughing, they arrived at Inazuma City.
Passing by Naganoya's fireworks shop and Tenmoku blacksmith shop, you will see a restaurant called Kinan Ryotei.
When Xiao Ai was playing games, he wanted to come here to try the food. Now that he is here, he naturally cannot leave with an empty stomach.
"Soba noodles, tuna sushi, Wakatake stew, raspberry water steamed buns, todoyaki, street food mixed stew, grilled mushroom pizza..."
Xiao Ai smacked her lips and recited the dishes in an Inazuma style, and it was obvious that she had already thought about what she wanted to eat here.
The portions were not large, but there were other delicacies to be had afterwards, so the three of them ate half full before setting off again.
When you reach the location of "Manduan Coral Detective Agency", you can go up the stairs and on the left is Inazuma's most famous "Yaedo".
Yunci and Zhongli picked out several books together.
Xiao Ai also bought a few books, such as——
The books she is most interested in are "Please, My Fox Fairy Palace Master" and "I Reincarnated as a Thunder General and Became Invincible".
