Chapter 737 Zhongli (10)
Choose three fox masks from a street stall and wear them on the side of your head.
Yunci and Xiaoai walked into the main street of Inazuma City holding their newly bought flower umbrellas.
"Kyujukumono" is a place that sells fruits, vegetables and groceries, but the three of them don't need to buy anything for the time being.
We said hello to Miss Catherine here. "Shimuraya" was right next to us, but the three of us had just finished eating and continued on our way.
Zhongli spent a long time selecting in the "Yayoi Lacquerware" store, and then picked out a few lacquer boxes that he liked.
After crossing the small bridge, there is another restaurant on the right, "Wu You Ting", which is a bit higher-end. You don't eat on the street, but in the indoor private room.
On the left is the "Akisasuna Bathhouse" that Xiao Ai wanted to go to, the kind with Miss Meng Mo. None of the three of us needed medical treatment, so we made a reservation for bathing in the evening.
The clothes sold in "Ogura-ya" are all very beautiful, and Yunci and Xiaoai couldn't stop themselves.
"Netsuke no Gen" sells some rare treasures, and there are a few Yunci who are interested.
You cannot enter the "Bugyosho", and above it is the "Tenshu", where the Thunder General lives, which you also cannot enter.
They then went around to another street and continued shopping in the store.
"There's a 'Mokuro Teahouse' over there. Do you want to go and taste Inazuma's tea?"
"it is good."
Zhongli looked very relaxed. The long-awaited trip made his brows more relaxed than usual. He held the teacup and sipped leisurely.
Yun Ci picked up some snacks and stuffed them into the mouth of Xiao Ai who was teasing her with his mind.
"Mr. Zhongli, how do you feel?"
“The tea is rich and tasty.”
"I'm asking, it shouldn't be uncomfortable to travel with us, right?"
"Of course." Zhongli put down the teacup, "Miss Yunci is a very suitable travel companion."
Yun Ci's eyes curved into crescents and the smile on her face grew.
"Then I will - thank you Mr. Zhongli for your love."
We will stay in Inazuma Castle today.
We had dinner at Uyu-tei, took a hot bath at Akisa Sento, and then went to a nearby inn to rest.
The next morning, we went to try the meal at Shimuraya.
The itinerary for the day was to visit Kagemukaiyama and Narujin Taisha Shrine.
They bought food for camping and headed for the desolate sea along the coastline next to Konda Village.
We camped and had a barbecue directly on the beach that day.
After a night's sleep, I passed by Kamisato Yashiki's house, climbed Kagemukai Mountain, went to the Naruko Taisha Shrine to pay my respects, and picked some sacred cherry blossoms.
On the way back, we walked through the Town Guarding Forest. Yun Ci dug up several plants from the Town Guarding Forest. The flowers that glowed with blue light were like small lamp grasses, and they could be planted in more places to serve as street lamps.
The trip to Narukami Island ended with the three of them returning to Inazuma Castle and soaking in the hot springs.
Shenwu Tomb, Bayun Island, Haiji Island, Qinglai Island, and Heguan.
The three of them spent five months slowly touring the remaining islands.
When Zhongli first saw Yun Ci's attribute "outburst", there was a look of shock on his face. Although it is not nice to say this, it was really different from the usual Miss Yun Ci.
But after watching it many times, Zhongli got used to it, and even like Xiaoai, he would remind Yunci when he saw something good.
At night, we live in a magical tent with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a separate bathroom.
If you get tired of walking during the day, you can take a magic carriage, ride a bicycle, or skateboard.
There is space in the Yunci shoulder bag for the things I bought, so I can go shopping with nothing in my hands.
Who doesn't like such a journey?
She even has a magic boat that allows her to travel from one island to another without having to pay any travel expenses.
If Yun Ci wasn't afraid of being too exaggerated and conspicuous, she would have wanted to take out the flying vehicle.
Although it’s quite conspicuous now…
Yunci felt that Zhongli must have guessed that Yunci's identity was wrong.
But he didn't point it out, and continued to treat Yun Ci as usual, but his state didn't change much over the years - he really wanted people to see him "break down".
Ahhh, what a bad taste.

night.
"Want a drink?"
Zhongli, who was sitting on Yunci's magic boat admiring the scenery, responded, "Okay."
Yun Ci placed the wine on the table and said with a smile, "This is my wine. I bet you have never drunk it."
Zhongli sniffed the faint aroma of wine in the air, and suddenly felt that the "wear and tear" in his body left by the war between demons and gods showed a slight sign of recovery.
He looked at Yun Ci in surprise: "This is..."
Yun Ci placed the wine cup in front of Zhong Li and raised her hand to signal, “Please.”
Zhongli paused for a moment, raised his cup and drank it all.
Powerful, vital divine energy instantly surged into every part of his body.
Zhongli's expression trembled slightly. He closed his eyes to suppress the divine power surging in his body. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to silence.
"Good wine."
"Although the wine is good, you can only drink this small pot."
"Such a good wine should be drunk slowly."
Yunci filled Zhongli's glass again and drank another kind of wine herself.
There was a small round table between the two of them, so they were sitting side by side.
The scenery on the sea can be described as 'unchanging'.
Wherever you look, the sea is the same color.
The occasional passing wind will change the mood of the sea, but eventually everything will return to silence.
"Ms. Yunci, I have a question."
"what?"
"Since you have a ship like this, you can go directly from Fontaine to Inazuma, right? Why do you have to..." He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Ci, "Why do you have to go back to Liyue Harbor to set out?"
"That's a good question." Yun Ci raised the wine cup and thought, "Actually, I didn't have any other ideas at the time. I just wanted to take this route."
but--
"Then I thought about the question you mentioned, and then I came up with the answer."
Yun Ci said: "I probably want to see you."
"Well, I want to see you."
Zhongli looked at Yun Ci, as if he was speechless, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Yun Ci looked at him tenderly and gently touched her wine cup with his.
'Ding--'
"Don't think too much about it. I just mentioned it since you asked."
Yunci didn't have any idea that they had to be together.
She just felt a little bit moved.
But such excitement was not enough to make her change her plans to continue traveling.
But...
It is still possible to be a little nicer to those you like.
Yun Ci drank the wine and placed the empty wine cup on the table.
'Squeak—'
The rocking chair rocked gently as its owner stood up.
Yun Ci walked up to Zhongli and looked down at him.
Zhongli raised his head and looked into her eyes, watching that beautiful face slowly approaching him——
Another aroma of wine swirled between breaths.
Then stop.
Yun Ci chuckled and raised her right index finger to press on Zhongli's lips.
"Your eyes have changed."
Zhongli opened his lips but said nothing.
Yun Ci turned around and patted Zhongli on the head twice.
"Well, go to bed early. We will be able to enter Liyue Harbor tomorrow. Then, you will be able to see the surprise I have prepared for you."
She stopped at the side of the cabin, turned to Zhongli and said, "Trust me, you will love this surprise."
