Chapter 1,172 Going Deeper

"Hey... isn't this Uncle Bai?"

Not long after, a sound that was so sweet that it made people sick to his stomach came out from the mechanism. Bai Qiyun couldn't help but frown when he heard it.

"Son of Yae, please speak carefully. Are you the madam of a brothel?"

"Uh...haha..."

Yae Shenzi on the other end was obviously speechless by Bai Qiyun's words. He could only laugh a few times and try to divert his attention.

Bai Qiyun's peripheral vision glanced at Jiuqi Ren beside him. This woman was emptying her mind and standing there with an expression like "I didn't hear anything."

It is a basic rule of thumb not to pry into your boss's private conversations.

But if your boss insists on your listening, what should you do?

"Don't try to get away with it. What do you want to do by asking Shinobu Kuki to bring this thing to Kaiji Island? Do you want to be a spy?"

Bai Qiyun's words were mixed with some questions, which made the Eightfold Divine Son opposite him remain silent for a moment.

It's no wonder he was so angry. After all, Coral Palace Shinkai has always taken care of him and treated him wholeheartedly. Compared with a certain fox, this living goddess miko is simply a woman like Yamato Nadeshiko.

"..."

Silence is also an answer.

Bai Qiyun sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose twice.

He could understand why Shinkai targeted Kuki-nin from the very beginning. It seemed that this slutty fox often played dirty tricks on Kaijijima.

"I'll confiscate the things first. I'll come find you when I get back."

"Hey! No! Uncle Bai, the little girl didn't do anything shameless!"

"Shut up, you stinky fox, you must be itchy."

Bai Qiyun had no intention of continuing to discuss this little thing with Yae Shenzi.

The current situation on Kaiji Island is already in chaos, but if the castle tower intervenes, the situation that has been somewhat stable will become unstable again.

Bai Qiyun crushed the mechanism in his hand and looked at Jiu Qi Ren, who was almost burying his head in his chest.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will deal with it personally with Yae Shenzi later."

"yes."

Article 2 of the Social Animal Code: When it comes to conflicts between bosses, just let the bosses fight it out on their own and never take sides.

But she seemed to have misunderstood one thing, that is, Bai Qiyun was not only her boss, but also the boss of that stinky fox.

With this incident, the awkward atmosphere between the two gradually dissipated.

Bai Qiyun threw the bedding on the floor and made it, not giving Jiu Qiren any chance to talk back.

"Good night."

A night of silence.

Kuki Shinobu thought that he had never slept as well as he did that night in his entire life.

This was true even on the night when I joined Narukami Taisha Shrine.

She didn't dare to let her legs stick out of the quilt, trying to wrap her whole body in the quilt.

Being exposed is the next best thing. If she accidentally slides down and kicks the man below, her career will be over.

Of course, a kick may not have much impact, but if the other person thinks that you are seducing him, then it will be serious.

With the mentality of walking on thin ice, Jiuqi Ren could not sleep well all night.

When he got up, he had two big dark circles under his eyes, which made Bai Qiyun look puzzled.

"Insomnia?"

"No, it's just that I'm a bit acquainted with the bed."

Kuki-nin took the toothbrush and devoted himself to daily cleaning work.

She didn't want to tell her concerns to the man in front of her. It was better to keep a distance between her superiors and subordinates.

"Just stay at home today. It's best not to show up."

"Um?"

Kuki Shinobu, who was brushing his teeth, didn't understand the meaning of the man's words, and a trace of doubt flashed in his purple eyes.

However, her long-standing habit still prevented her from asking any questions, and she just nodded lightly.

"I'm going out today. No matter who comes, don't open the door."

"...good."

Kuki-nin spat the toothpaste in his mouth into the sink, his speech slurred.

"Also... take the time to buy a pair of pants. Aren't your legs cold when you step on the ground? Be careful of menstrual cramps."

"....I see."

After Bai Qiyun had breakfast, he left the residence directly.

When he left, he even said hello to the neighbors around him, letting others know that he was out.

After making all preparations, Bai Qiyun began to walk towards the cave that was destroyed yesterday.

Since he was going to pretend to be Liyue's special envoy to lure the snake out of his cave, he naturally had to do the whole trick.

There was a commotion in the backpack behind him, and Yandora popped her head out secretly.

'What are you fussing about so early in the morning?'

Since arriving at Haiji Island, it no longer needs to be responsible for solving the physical problems of its contract partners, giving it a lot more time to relax.

But it knows that this is only temporary.

As long as Bai Qiyun's body exists on Haizhi Island for one day, it will be needed to help solve existential problems. Now there are just too many things and I forgot about it for a while.

As long as you stay here for more than seven days, its presence is necessary.

Unless a 'enthusiastic' local can be found to replace it.

"It's nothing. Since we want the Chamber of Commerce to take action, we must create an environment suitable for them to take action. I'm not very familiar with the Blood Branch Coral and can't get involved, but you can make some small moves on my side."

'So what are you going to do?'

"Let's make contact first. As Liyue's special envoy, how can you not contact the Chamber of Commerce when you come to Haiji Island to buy things?"

Bai Qiyun stayed in front of the cave with a barrier for about half an hour, and then went directly to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce on Haiji Island.

Compared to the chambers of commerce in Liyue and Daozuma City, the chamber of commerce in Haiji Island seems much shabby.

The largest building only has three floors, and the exterior is made of rusty iron plates. It doesn't look like it has made huge profits as Kuki-nin said.

However, Bai Qiyun knew that his wealth should not be exposed. If he built the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce tall and beautiful, the first person to be suspicious would be the Zhuoyun Shrine. For the people of the Chamber of Commerce, the gain would outweigh the losses.

The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is stationed in the easternmost part of the village, where tribes of villagers gather, and it seems to be full of life.

There are goods displayed everywhere.

Moreover, it is the closest to the port of Haiji Island, and some fish cargoes are placed in boxes on the ground, ready to be transported onto ships.

Bai Qiyun looked around as he walked and found that the goods here were very ordinary, which was very consistent with his knowledge of Haiji Island's products.

In other words, none of these things can be sold for much money.

As long as you can go fishing at sea, these things are as readily available as air.

I'm afraid I won't be able to earn back the shipping fee if I don't sell it to other places.

Bai Qiyun's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask any questions and continued to walk forward.

Among the crowd of people wearing simple clothes, his appearance was particularly outstanding. In addition, his dressing style, which was not like that of a local, instantly attracted the attention of others.

"He is the one in the rumors..."

"Yes, the one from Liyue."

The whispers from the people around him reached Bai Qiyun's ears.
