One Piece: Musicians and Generals.

Lanshina was awakened by hunger. After she opened her eyes slowly, she saw that the decoration of the room in front of her was obviously not her room. The whole room was pink and looked very girly, similar to her room in the Dressrosa Palace.

"Come on, let me experience the joy of raising snakes!" Kusaki Temple Baihui touched her bulging belly and brought in a plate of meat. "You need to eat more meat when you have cubs!"

"Clang!" A plate of delicious bone-in meat was placed in front of Lan Xina. "Try it. It's been roasted for two hours!"

Kusaki Temple Baihui took a knife and cut the meat piece by piece to make it easier for Lan Xina to eat. She was in the state of a little snake now, so it was not very convenient.

After Kusaki Temple Baihui finished cutting, she lay on the table and watched Lan Xina eat.

Lan Xina slowly twisted her body and moved forward. She was not familiar with this way of walking.

"Every time an island finds a manager, that is, a priest, he will become like this. Others have experienced this before. This is just right for you to get familiar with the state of a human head and a snake body. When you are ready, I will start to teach you how to transform between human and snake."

The little snake held the meat in its mouth and swallowed it. After hearing what Kusakiji Baihui said, it nodded and spoke in human language: "I feel relieved now."

Lan Xina was shocked when she said it subconsciously, "I can speak?"

"Of course you can, we are spirits, not simple animals!" Kusaki Temple Baihui said as a matter of course, reaching out to touch Lan Xina's back skin, which was icy cool, and must be a good way to cool down in the summer!

Lan Xina finished eating very quickly, but if she were in human form she might not be able to finish it so quickly.

Suddenly remembering what it saw when it went to the cat room, it climbed up Kusakiji Shirae's hand, wrapped around her wrist, and spit out its pink tongue.

Seeing that Lan Xina had something to say, Jiuqisi Baihui couldn't bear it any longer. "Xiao Na, just tell me what you want to say. I will tell you everything I know. Oh, by the way, your cooking skills are very good. Take this book. I don't mind being your food taster!"

She pointed at the "Food Encyclopedia" under Lan Xina with a smile on her face, and her tone of voice was just like that of an unscrupulous and black-hearted boss who exploited her employees, making people feel that she had come up with some new way to cheat people.

Lan Xina just wondered how she knew the cooking skills were so good, then she remembered that she left a mark, oh, that's okay.

"I am still very moral and will not casually look at the privacy of my employees, uh, sisters. Believe me." Kusaki Temple Hakue looked sincere and innocent.

Lan Xina: I'll believe you for once.

"Linghe said that the animals raised in the backyard can enter Utopia, right?"

Kusakiji Shirae rested one hand on her elbow and rested the other hand under her chin as if thinking, "Well... theoretically it is possible, but other places except Waiwei are more or less inhabited. Except for Lujin, there is no one, and then there is your Waiwei."

"The miasma in Weiwei has been cleared now. It's only temporary. Weiwei is safe as long as you are here, so these little animals can stay on your Weiwei Mountain."

"Isn't it possible in other places?"

"Not yet. The Weiwei has the most energy deposited. Humans and ordinary demons cannot enter. It is the most suitable place for these small animals to survive. Only when the body absorbs enough energy and removes the external things can it be removed in Utopia."

"These children live in the secular world, and it's even harder for the cat children. Their whole state of mind will be different after they go to Utopia."

"When you put it that way, Utopia seems more like a place where everyone is pure and free from desires."

"Well, when I designed it, I wanted Utopia to be a paradise-like place, a place without the rule of the Celestial Dragons."

"You think it's ridiculous too, right?" Lan Xina asked, with no change in her voice.

"It's quite ridiculous, a group of villains, claiming to be gods. If they enter Utopia, I will give them a good lesson. If I could interfere in the affairs of the outside world, I would have destroyed them long ago." Kusaki Temple Baihui clenched his fists.

"Can you do whatever you want in Utopia?" Lan Xina asked after hearing this. You can't do whatever you want in the outside world...

"Strictly speaking, Utopia is a place I created in another sense. So the whole Utopia is under my control, but I don't really want to be in charge, so I asked you guys for help. But I can't say that, how can I tell you?"

Lan Xina lowered her eyes: "So this is the employee!" So it is good for my health, it can curb the development of maliciousness, and it can also reduce your burden. It's three birds with one stone!

"Yes, yes, that's right." said Kusaki Temple Hakue.

Considering the water mirror, it looks no different from the one in Dressrosa, the only difference is that one is real and the other is virtual.

"I also saw a similar water mirror in a real estate agency in Dressrosa. The name of the agency seems to be... Lexia Real Estate. I wonder if you recognize it?" Lan Xina asked tentatively.

"I asked Tamamo Maeko to do that. Also, the hotel that tourists often visit is also an industry of our Utopia."

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more places." Kusaki Temple Hakue said as he lay down on the bed.

"No wonder, are the people in there from Utopia?"

"Well, the people in the New World are not as trustworthy as those in Utopia. At least if that's not possible, I can still judge them.

"Judgment?"

"It means being convicted. If you break the law in Utopia, you will be sent to Corona to do hard labor in the mines."

She took out another book, on which the author's signature was "The Executioner".

"I wrote this. You should read it carefully. Of course, the nine palace judges will be needed to judge the criminals together. If they are from the outside world, they will be punished if they make mistakes."

"Then what does Strider mean? You once said that Du Hua Linghe is Strider."

"Each island has a chief priest, who can be said to be a god. The Godwalker is the one who acts as the god's agent, which is like acting as a company. The reason we are here now is entirely because we have a chief priest on our behalf to manage the island."

"The priests of each island cannot interfere with each other's choices unless I intervene, but I usually don't intervene because everyone is quite Buddhist."

"Tamamonomae is my Strider. Don't you realize that you can see other people, but the chance to see Tamamonomae is rare?"

"Indeed, I didn't see him much during meals."

"Demons don't really need to eat to replenish their strength, but we all have appetites. Eating is something ordinary demons have to do, otherwise the humans in Utopia will be eaten by them."

"So the laws of Utopia are meant to curb the demons who don't want to follow the rules, and of course, to limit humans from doing whatever they want."

"There are pirates, navy officers, and ordinary people who strayed into Utopia. Most of them came with their families."

"As long as they don't do anything like Shanghai Utopia, they can do whatever they want."

"What counts as harming Utopia?"

"You can open the book of Utopian Law and take a look."

Lan Xina opened the book as she was told. "The first rule is that you are not allowed to quarrel or fight. You need a legitimate reason. Those who violate the order will be sent to Ri Corona to serve a five-year sentence!"

Lan Xina didn't understand but she was shocked. "I have to work for five years for breaking a law. This is too miserable."

"Oh, don't worry, the speed of time in Utopia is different, probably one hundred to one, that is, one year in the outside world is one hundred years in Utopia. It feels very long in Utopia, but only one year in the outside world. If you are tired of life in Utopia, you can come out and waste time."

"But I usually stay in bed, just like the islanders. Hundreds of years can pass by in one sleep."

"Indeed, so the people currently gathered in the Deer House are all under 600 years old."

"No, no, no. Generally speaking, those who call you by your name are older than you, and those who call you sister are only a little bit younger than you." Kusakiji Shirae placed his thumb on the knuckle of his little finger to compare the size.

"Oh~" Lan Xina responded, "My cat!"

Lan Xina let go of her tail, but fell straight from Kusaki Temple Baihui's hand, with a halo on her head and mosquito coils in her eyes.

Jiuqisi Baihui held Lan Xina in her palm and manually wrapped her tail around her hand. "Let me take you there. Use these few days to practice how to walk as a snake. Otherwise, how can you participate in the sacrificial dance later? You will have to show your true form."

She nodded Lanshina's head.

Lan Xina shook her head. "Sacrificial dance? What is that?"

"As a priest, I have to bless the people of Utopia. After all, I can't be a priest for nothing. There is no such good thing in the world. I have to work hard."

"All the priestesses have to dance the ritual dance across the island in order. Generally speaking, the earlier one starts, the worse it is, because she has to dance all over Utopia, so the later one has the better time. Since you just joined this year, it is reasonable for you to start and I to finish. The next time, I will start and Lujin's priestesses will finish."

"I will introduce all the temple officials to you one by one. Also, the sacrificial dance can be performed by a divine walker, that is, the two eggs in your stomach. Generally, divine walkers are relatives of the temple officials, but the temple officials usually never let them take their place, and they all perform on their own."

After Kusaki Temple Baihui and Lan Xina finished their explanation, they pushed open the door of his room. The white cat inside thought that its owner had returned and wanted to come over excitedly to touch his legs.

After seeing it, he stopped, but still seemed very obedient.

"Hey, you little cat is quite good at recognizing people!" said Kusaki Temple Baihui as he watched Bai Jiao's actions.

"She seems to be quite smart, and she started scratching at me as soon as I got to the cat room, so I took her in."

Kusakiji Baihui stretched out his hand in front of the kitten, but Bai Jiao just sniffed it and lowered his head.

"What are you doing?" Lan Xina didn't know and didn't move.

Seeing that Lan Xina was still not coming down, Jiuqisi Baihui said, "What's wrong? You can come down now. I was just trying to make this kitten remember your scent. It's obvious that it has remembered it. You don't have to worry about it eating you. Otherwise, how do you think the snake, cat and dog didn't fight when they were not far away?"

"The animals in the deer house are different from those outside. They are always so obedient that it makes people feel sorry for them. This one was a poor little thing at first. When I brought it back, it was covered in mud and sand, and there were eggs of some small insects in it."

Lan Xina imagined the insect eggs and her scalp tingled.

Can't think about it!

Lan Xina slowly moved her body and landed on Bai Jiao's head, "Bai Jiao is so good!"

Bai, who received the praise, meowed twice in response to her owner. The little snake on her head just didn't see where she was.

"Okay, then you have a good rest. Call me if you need anything. Oh. Call... in vain, right? Knock on my door. By the way, don't be lazy. It is very important for animals to walk! Remember!" Kusakiji Baihui warned, looking back every few steps.

"Yeah, yeah!" Lan Xina nodded repeatedly.

"Stop yelling and go to the bed." Lan Xina said.

Although Bai Jiao only recognized the voice, she didn't understand that her poop scooper had turned into a little snake.

With Bai Jiao's help, Lan Xina successfully returned to her bed.

Every day after that, Lan Xina would hang around Kusakiji Shirae's hands as an ornament, secretly learning the shamisen and the dance steps of the oiran. When asked why she didn't come to continue the class, Kusakiji Shirae would evade the question.

"It was such a close call, I was almost discovered." Lan Xina was already able to control her body very skillfully, "When can I change back?"

"Very happy, just a few days, no more than seven days at most. Fortunately, I am exhausted. If the Oiran saw me with a snake, she would have fainted from fear. Fortunately, you pretended well!"

"Does that mean my body is ugly?"

"How could that be? I think it looks very beautiful. When I wear it on my hand, it looks like a jade green bracelet with floating flowers on it. It looks very expensive."

"Really?" Lan Xina said, standing up straight.

"Let's go eat. Everyone should be eager to see your demon seed."

"What is a demon species?"

"It's your animal type, like the raccoon cat of the two sisters, my fox, Yiyao's wolf, and Duhua Linghe's purple snake."

"This is called a demon species!"

"Oh~"

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui wrapped her hands around Lan Xina and her face suddenly turned black.

"What are you doing?" Lan Xina asked.

"Shouldn't we keep this in suspense? Let everyone guess?"

"Family members, come and see our Lord Chief of Weiwei." Kusakiji Baihui appeared in the dining hall, and everyone gathered around him, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, guess what kind of demon it is?"

"It must be a marine creature."

"I'm so sleepy. I don't want to guess. Can you just say it directly?"

“Ha~ yeah!”

"I think it should be a butterfly."

"No, no, not by much!"

Nagawa Shinobu adjusted his glasses, "The tails are all miasma, they must live in the forest, they must be land creatures, yours is a reptile."

"Why can't it be a butterfly?"

"I, I, I know, it's a snake!" Du Hua Linghe raised his hands and said,

"Tell me."

"The little snakes told me!"

"Correct, but there is no reward." Jiuqisi opened his hand, and on it was coiled a beautiful little green snake with a hint of silver.
