"Ahhhhh!"

Bai Qiyun was carried by the current and rushed out of the cave entrance, falling towards the bottom of the cliff.

Yandora's voice sounded in his mind, constantly making sarcastic remarks.

'So why do you have to fight with monsters hand-to-hand? Why don't you just do long-range work as a mage?'

"Shut up, don't talk to people who can't help you."

Fortunately, although the water flow was fast, the cliffs were also high. Bai Qiyun did not fall to the water at the bottom of the valley within a short period of time after he was rushed out, which gave him a certain amount of reaction time.

"meteor!"

I saw a layer of water covering the young man's body, driving away the surrounding water from his side.

The next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared on the cliff nearby.

'It's really embarrassing...'

"I want you to take care of it."

Although Bai Qiyun spoke harshly, he was feeling annoyed about the battle just now.

Although his series of actions seemed reasonable, objectively speaking, he did take a lot of risks, and he failed to guarantee the safety of the coral and pearl oysters in the cave.

It can be said that except for the few people saved at the beginning, the rest of the things were not done well.

It seems he was careless.

"that--"

A familiar voice came from the cave entrance where the water gushed out. Bai Qiyun looked down and saw that it was Coral Palace Xinhai leading a group of people coming from the distant shrine.

"Alas!"

Xinhai looked at the cave in front of him that was like a rolling river, and his expression suddenly changed.

There are all cultured coral and pearl oysters here. In the current situation, I’m afraid the whole army may not be wiped out.

"Heart sea."

Bai Qiyun jumped up and landed firmly in front of the team.

He dispersed the elemental power entangled in his body and said hello to everyone.

"Mr. Bai! Just hope you're okay!"

"It's just a formless water, it's not that bad."

Xinhai didn't worry too much about this matter. She stretched her neck and looked into the cave and asked.

"What's going on inside..."

"If you ask about the formless water, that guy has disappeared, but if you ask about those pearl oysters..."

Bai Qiyun's hesitant expression made Xinhai understand everything.

She said to the people behind her with a bitter look on her face.

"You guys should go back first. There should be no problem here."

Although the soldiers could all see the sadness in their hearts, they knew they could not share it with her, so they could only retire first.

When there was no one around, Coral Palace Xinhai could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart, and threw herself directly into Bai Qiyun's arms and cried loudly.

"What can we do? If this batch of goods is gone, there will be problems with food this winter."

Seeing Lihua Daiyu crying in her heart, Bai Qiyun couldn't push her away, so he could only let her rub against him.

This movement reminded Bai Qiyun of a kind of game in the mountains, silkworm chrysalises.

That thing squirmed like this when it was placed on the wooden board.

Hmm...it's so cute even though it's small.

"Ahem... get up quickly, there are people watching next to you."

"Um?"

Shinkai wiped the corner of his eyes, and with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the tree trunk not far away, and found the helpless Kuki Shinobu there.

Obviously, for the two people who suddenly hugged each other, Jiuqi couldn't bear to come over, nor could he leave.

He could only stand there dumbly, like one of those large dolls placed in front of Liyue's shop.

"ah!"

When Coral Palace Shinkai saw Kuki Shinobi, she let out a cute cry and quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

After all, as the dignified shrine maiden of Kaijijima, whoever sees her weak side cannot be allowed to be seen by the people in the castle tower.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun instantly guessed what Xin Hai was thinking, and gave instructions to Jiu Qi Ren behind him.

"You go back first, I will come find you later."

"Ah...um."

Jiuqi Ren was indeed a professional social worker. She immediately realized the difficulty of leadership, and then turned around and walked away from the two of them, even though this direction was completely opposite to the place where she stayed.

But for her year-end bonus...oh no, for her leadership, she still took a step forward.

After a while, her figure disappeared from their sight.

"well."

Seeing this, Xinhai breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed directly on Bai Qiyun's body.

"Hey, it's very heavy."

"Mr. Bai really doesn't understand girls. At this time, you should hug girls gently."

Although Bai Qiyun protested, Xinhai had no intention of getting up.

She now has a headache. There were already enough things going on, but Haiji Island's major source of income was cut off at this time, leaving her unable to relax for a while.

Bai Qiyun also understood Xinhai's difficulties, so he let her do whatever she wanted on him.

After all, no man would be dissatisfied with a soft and fragrant beautiful girl who is willing to stick close to you.

The sound of their breathing sounded in each other's ears, but at this time, in what was supposed to be a beautiful scene, both of them felt very calm.

Xinhai's face was like a glutinous rice dumpling, rolling around on Bai Qiyun's chest.

After a while, Bai Qiyun finally spoke.

"The food problem...leave it to me to solve."

"Eh?!"

As if he didn't expect Bai Qiyun to say such words, his heart immediately straightened up from the young man's body.

She was just complaining, but she didn't expect it to actually work.

Is this a universal wishing machine that can grant other people's wishes?

"But I agreed in advance that I can only solve the food problem, and I can't do anything more."

Bai Qiyun looked at Xinhai without saying anything for a long time, thinking that she had other requests, so he vaccinated the girl in advance.

"Of course...after all, this is Haiji Island's business. It's better to say that I didn't..."

"Huh? Are you talking about something?"

"No, no, Mr. Bai, you are the best!"

After whispering for a while, Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly hugged Bai Qiyun's waist and started shaking, for fear that the little Jiujiu in her heart would be discovered.

In fact, the population of Haiji Island is not large, and it is not difficult for Bai Qiyun to get food for a whole winter.

Even if his food source bypasses Kaifeng, he can still collect part of it from Qinglai Island, and there is also shipping from Liyue.

Note that shipping from Liyue can not only transport food from Liyue, but also food from Xumi and Mondstadt can depart from here to Daozhi with the help of the port.

And it just so happens that these two countries are the ones with no shortage of food.

In addition, he and Shen He went to visit Zhenjun Liuyun and made a request to him.

That is to try to combine cave technology with agriculture to produce more food.

Although Zhenjun Liuyun did not agree with all his heart, he accepted the invitation and went to Liyue Port, preparing to try to use this technology to transform new farmland.
