After a 'friendly' exchange, Coral Palace Xinhai limped back to the shrine.

He looked like he was being bullied by someone, very pitiful.

In fact...it is indeed the case.

Seeing the girl's leaving figure, Bai Qiyun felt a little regretful.

During the 'communication' just now, he had been aiming at the opponent's soft belly for a long time, but he just couldn't find a chance to punch him.

If such a delicate little girl received a heavy punch from him in the softest part, she would probably be in pain for a long time.

But it's a pity that we don't have this opportunity now.

"The cook, the battle just now was really fierce!"

Paimon on the side was watching it as enthusiastically as if he were watching a show, and even applauded when the two were fighting.

But Ying could tell that the two of them still had a lot of energy left.

Needless to say, Bai Qiyun didn't try his best. Even the defeated Coral Palace Xinhai still had various secrets hidden in him, and it didn't look like he had revealed all his cards.

"well enough."

The young man closed his eyes and disarmed the pure water. Yandora was floating comfortably aside, completely unable to tell that he had just experienced a battle.

Even Bai Qiyun himself felt extremely relaxed.

Because this is one of the rare battles where he can completely crush the opponent in close combat moves.

It felt like the miko was even less adept at close combat than he was.

But this is understandable. After all, he is a civilian official, and force is not the opponent's strong point.

After resting for a while, the group of people, led by Luzi, headed to the residence prepared for them on Haiji Island.

Although Haiji Island lacks land for planting, it does have a lot of places for people to live.

The resort that was built for guests in the tourist area has been transformed into a good place to entertain guests after a little tidying up.

"so big!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Paimon let out an uninformed exclamation.

But having said that, the yard is indeed quite big.

Bai Qiyun looked around a few times. The size of the courtyard was roughly the same as that of Shenli's house, but because there were not as many buildings as Shenli's house, it looked more open.

You must know that this was a residence that was open to tourists before, and it can be compared with Sanfengxing. No wonder the tourism industry on Haiji Island is so developed.

After placing their luggage, several people gathered together again.

But more importantly, Ying and Paimeng took the initiative to get into Bai Qiyun's room.

Leaning his arm against the window, Bai Qiyun twisted his temples with his fingers, sorting out the information he had obtained in less than half a day.

His mind is now a mess.

He just had a fight with Coral Palace Xinhai. Apart from the factors of confirming his combat power, it was more because he wanted to release the pressure in his heart.

Coral Palace Xinhai played the role of punching bag very well, which made him feel very happy.

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Looking at the young man's profile, Ying's tone became much softer.

"Well, I feel like Coral Palace Xinhai has a lot of things that he hasn't told us."

Although the God of Steel incident is serious, there is actually no way to completely explain what the few people are facing now.

And in that story, there was an important character who never appeared in front of anyone's eyes from beginning to end.

Bai Qiyun frowned slightly.

"The Orochi, who was worshiped by Kaiji Island before the arrival of the God of Steel, if according to what she said, then it should have only lost most of its divine power and has not completely died. Even if the Demon God who has experienced the Demon God War has not

With divine power, as long as the experience and knowledge are still there, it can be of great help, but Coral Palace Xinhai did not mention the existence of the other party at all, and most likely he is still worried about something."

Listening to the boy's words, Ying also realized all the inharmonious aspects of this meeting.

Indeed, according to common sense, the two people who are now tied to the same chariot as Sōun Shrine have no need to hide anything.

If the other party does this, it means there is something hidden.

"In other words...even Coral Palace Xinhai himself doesn't know."

Bai Qiyun frowned and realized that things were not simple.

But one thing is certain, that is, the legendary snake must recognize him.

After all, even the monsters in the forest can be recognized, not to mention the demon god Orochi.

It is estimated that Coral Palace Xinhai is discussing something with the snake now under the pretext of going back to the house to adjust his breathing.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun rolled his eyes.

"Let's go take a look."

"Eh? What are you looking at?"

Paimon, who had just picked up the apple and hadn't had a chance to eat it, was interrupted by the young man's vigorous actions.

"Of course it's to see who the miko-sama is having a private meeting with in the house."

The corner of Bai Qiyun's mouth curled up in a subtle arc, and he rushed out of the courtyard at the lead, without showing any sign of needing a rest.

"Hey, cook, wait for us!"

————

With the cover of elemental power, Bai Qiyun easily approached Zhuoyun Shrine.

After letting Ying and Paimeng watch outside, he chose to quietly approach the house alone.

He didn't intend to completely hide it from the people in the room. After all, this place was someone else's territory, and all kinds of element detection methods were absolutely indispensable.

Moreover, the person he was talking to was most likely the Demon God. Even if he lost his power, Bai Qiyun didn't think he would be able to hide it from the other party.

So he decided to make a surprise attack into the house, and as long as he captured the scene, he would have to face him honestly no matter how much the snake didn't want to see him.

Sure enough, when he got close to the detection range of the elemental power, Bai Qiyun discovered that there were many elemental restrictions placed in the Zhuoyun Shrine.

After all, this place is not only a symbol of Kaiji Island, but also contains the power left behind by the God of Steel when he left. Naturally, it must be strictly guarded.

Through the exploration of elemental power, Bai Qiyun also heard the sound of someone talking in the house.

One of them was Xinhai, who had just left Coral Palace not long ago, and the other, a somewhat deep and hoarse voice, was a voice he had never heard before.

In order not to attract the other party's attention, he did not rashly choose to use elemental power to directly detect the other party. That would be too dangerous.

Bai Qiyun quietly walked to the entrance of the courtyard outside the restricted area of ​​the shrine, making sure that his arrival was not discovered by the two people inside.

Then he directly activated the star power in his body.

"meteor."

The strong power triggered several restrictions in the courtyard, but before they broke out, Bai Qiyun's figure had already disappeared from the entrance of the courtyard and appeared in front of the house.

The star power overflowing with silver light immediately attracted the attention of the two people in the room, but before Coral Palace Xinhai could make any move, Bai Qiyun knocked on the door.

"Your Excellency, Palace Secretary, were you okay just now? I saw you came back to the house in a hurry. Could it be that you were injured somewhere?"

The slightly caring words made Coral Palace Xinhai subconsciously forget about the alarm issued by the restriction outside.

In her opinion, it was probably because Bai Qiyun had just arrived and accidentally triggered the restriction because he cared about her.

However, the reality is exactly the opposite.

Just when she was still hesitating, Bai Qiyun gently opened the door.

The little snake who was talking to the girl before seemed to have been strangled by the neck. He suddenly lost his voice. His eyes the size of mung beans bulged outwards and he did not dare to move.

Approaching the house, Bai Qiyun glanced around without leaving any trace, and sure enough he found a motionless snake on the table, which looked like a sculpture.

"Sorry, I'm a little concerned about your situation."

In order to get closer to the little snake, Bai Qiyun said something that only a scumbag would say.

To force open the door in the name of caring for a girl, if you look at it under different circumstances, this is definitely an act that will lead you to be sent to the Qianyan Army.

Of course, it depends on whether the woman is willing, but now it seems that Coral Palace Xinhai has no objection to her.

Hearing this, her fair face couldn't help but be dyed with a hint of pink.

But when he thought that it was the boy in front of him who beat her like this, he immediately lost his little girlish attitude.

"Huh? This sculpture looks very realistic. Where did you buy it, Mr. Palace Secretary?"

Bai Qiyun pretended not to notice anything unusual about the little snake and picked it up from the table.

Surprisingly, the originally soft snake body turned out to be as hard as iron, and it still maintained its shape on the table in mid-air, really looking like a sculpture.

Obviously, this is the little snake cooperating with Bai Qiyun to act deliberately.

Don't find me, don't find me...
