Chapter 228 Confidence

"As expected."

Yaejinko smiled as she looked at the approaching warships and the flags waved by the sailors. They had just passed through the thunderstorm area, and the Inazuma Islands were still a discontinuous and blurred long line in their vision.

But it turned out that the people coming were from Umijima. Didn't Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke have the courage to take action themselves?

Miss Fox thought about it and signaled to stop the ship, prepare for battle first, and then wait for the Umijima fleet to approach.

Although the Umijima warships sent flags to indicate that they had no ill intentions, it was better to be careful.

"What happened?"

Ying walked onto the deck, and Paimon followed her, both holding a piece of soft cloth in their hands.

"It's expected, don't worry."

Yaejinko smiled and turned around, then was stunned for a moment, noticed the soft cloth in Ying's hand, and hesitated: "What are you doing...?"

There shouldn't be any place on the ship that needs these two to clean up by themselves, right?

"Paimeng was a little scared when we passed through the thunderstorm area, so I took her to hide in Tianfeng's cabin." Ying explained: "Since I had nothing to do, I wiped his coffin by the way."

Paimeng's reason was that if there was really a thunderstorm, hiding behind Chen Tianfeng, it would be much safer with him - Tianfeng was a god after all, and it should be okay if he was struck by thunder a few more times.

Ying missed Tianfeng's funeral in human form. Later, when Ying and Chen Tianfeng talked about it, she found out that the funeral procession she and Paimeng saw when they first arrived in Liyue Harbor was his. She passed by his funeral but failed to recognize him.

Ying has always felt a little regretful about this.

Now that she can wipe the coffin where Chen Tianfeng lies, and take advantage of the fleet not entering the thunderstorm area or having left the thunderstorm area, quietly untie the iron chain, open the coffin, and see Chen Tianfeng lying peacefully in the coffin, for Ying, it is also a chance to make up for the regret.

It's just a pity that Tianfeng was lying in a bronze coffin this time, which is not easy to engrave...Ying put away the soft cloth, clapped his hands, and patted off some metal debris.

Wiping the coffin? What kind of hobby is this?

Yaezhe Shenzi didn't understand and was quite shocked. Also, because he was afraid of thunderstorms, he hid in the morgue... Is there something wrong with this?

Finally, Chen Tianfeng was faking his death. Even if he restrained his breath and shielded his perception, he would not really not notice that someone opened his coffin and did something to him...Yaezhe Shenzi thought about it, his purple eyes had a smile, he took a step forward, closed the distance with Ying, and leaned forward slightly: "Ying, besides wiping the coffin, you didn't do anything else?"

"Huh? What?"

"For example, opening the coffin, taking advantage of Mr. Chen's "sound sleep", secretly "bullying" him or something like that."

"Well, pinching the cheek is considered bullying?"

"That's all?"

"Of course."

Ying looked calm and glanced at Paimeng secretly.

Little Paimon has been with her all the time. Not to mention that she has never thought about it, even if she has the idea, she has no chance, right?

You should be more careful in front of children.

"Is that so... okay."

Yae Shenzi rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "I was thinking of reminding you that even if Mr. Chen was 'asleep', he still retained the perception of the coffin. Now it seems that it is not necessary, after all, you did nothing."

As she spoke, she paid attention to Ying's expression, wanting to see the beautiful scenery of blushing cheeks and shyness, but unexpectedly found that the blonde girl in front of her was smiling gently with a gentle look.

Ying nodded gently: "I know."

"Hmm?"

Miss Fox blinked: "Know what?"

"I know that Tianfeng can know what I am doing."

The sea breeze blew, and the girl lifted her messy blonde hair behind her ears. Her smile touched the heartstrings, and her tone was firm: "But he won't wake up, even if his heart beats faster, he won't open his eyes."

"Why is that?"

Miss Fox was puzzled.

Why does he sound like a scumbag who doesn't take the initiative, doesn't refuse, and doesn't take responsibility, and also like a pure boy who is at a loss, and whose heart is as happy as fireworks, but he subconsciously hides it tightly on the surface?

Just like those people who make secret love like lurking spies, even if their entire youth is involved in a grand secret love, but the audience is only themselves.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know."

Ying smiled lightly, and the sunlight fell, and every hair tip became translucent. The girl's eyebrows were full of confident smiles, and her spirits were high. In her clear golden eyes, the golden sunlight also became an embellishment.

Yae Shenzi looked at the gentle and bright girl in the sun, and her mood couldn't help but improve a little.

"Palace Master."

The little shrine maiden trotted over and saluted Yaejinko: "The Umijima fleet sent out flag signals, saying that their general wants to discuss official business with you, Palace Master."

"General? Discuss official business?"

Yaejinko raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking of something, with a smile on her lips: "Tell them that I also have something to discuss, let the general come to our ship alone."

"Palace Master, will they agree?"

The little shrine maiden hesitated.

"Tell them that this is what Coral Palace wants."

"...Yes."

The little shrine maiden left with doubts.

After a while, General Goro, with dog ears on his head and a fluffy tail behind him, boarded the big ship of Narukami Taisha, and his expression seemed a little awkward. He saw Yaejinko looking at him with a smile at a glance, took two quick steps to approach, and then stopped quickly, keeping a safe distance from Yaejinko.

"What did Coral Palace say to you?"

"Oh, it's you, Goro."

Yae Shinko didn't answer, but looked him up and down, and chuckled: "Haha, when discussing official business, only you would emphasize this kind of thing... It's as if you are afraid of something."

"Nonsense! I'm not afraid!" Goro denied it immediately.

"Then why are you so far away?" Yae Shinko raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Are you afraid that I will do something to you? Don't worry, I like small animals the most, hehe. Oh, by the way, Goro, how about the ointment I gave you last time? Did your tail become soft and fluffy after using it?"

"...I don't know, I didn't use it."

Goro raised his head and looked at Yae Shinko, and soon moved away unconsciously. For some reason, the fluffy and soft tail behind him lost some of its former spirit.

"You are the general of the resistance army of Kaigi Island, how can you be useless?"

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Then it is useful?"

"..."

Goro was silent for a few seconds, and thanked Yaejinko awkwardly: "It is useful, thank you... Lord Palace Master."

"That's right, a good child should be honest."

Yaejinko smiled with satisfaction, then changed the topic and asked: "What news did you get when you came here? Tell me."
