One Piece: Musicians and Generals.

Chapter 74 Buying groceries

Four whole days later, Lan Xina was still taking a nap on Bai Jiao's head. The soft fur felt very comfortable.

After a flash of green light, Lan Xina lay on the ground. Bai Jiao felt as if something was missing above his head. He touched his head with his claws, but there was nothing.

I walked around with cat-like steps and turned to the back of my body. I saw a living person lying on the ground. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling, I would probably have thought that the person on the ground was beyond saving.

"Meow!!" Bai Jiao was so scared that he jumped up from the ground and jumped onto the chair.

After it recognized the person who suddenly appeared was its owner who it had not seen for several days but whose voices were all around it, it jumped off the chair and stretched out its soft and cute cat paws to push its owner's shoulder.

After pushing several times without any response, Lan Xina suddenly turned over and locked Bai Jiao in her arms.

Bai Jiao saw that Lan Xina was not asleep, so he did not move and let her hold him in her arms.

He slowly closed his eyes and placed his hands on Lan Xina's chest.

About two hours later, there was a knock on the door, just to remind Lan Xina that she was coming in.

A beautiful woman came in wearing a red off-shoulder dress decorated with white tassels and tassel earrings. She was holding a round fan in her hand and a few strings of copper coins were hanging from her waist.

She used the fan to cover half of her face and said, "It's back. It's quite fast. But it's not on Bai Jiao's head." Jiuqisi's eyes turned from red to red-pink, and were still emitting a faint white light.

"Two hours ago!" Jiuqisi Baihui pushed Lan Xina's shoulder, "Get up quickly, it's almost time for dinner!" She leaned close to Lan Xina's ear and said.

"I'll get up soon. Is it time for dinner?" Lan Xina opened her eyes slightly and let go of the hand that was holding Bai Jiao. Bai Jiao was still sleeping soundly.

"You were kidding." Kusaki Temple Baihui stuck out her tongue, looking naughty.

"You've already changed back. It took less than four days." Kusaki Temple Baihui reached out and held one of Lan Xina's wrists. With the other hand, she only extended her index finger and middle finger and put them together.

A stream of red and white air flowed from Kusaki Temple Baihui's hand to Lan Xina's hand and entered her body.

"What are you doing? Why do you want to pass on your vitality to me?" Lan Xina asked, not understanding.

"You have returned to Utopia, and your power is awakening step by step. If you were an ordinary medicinal snake, it would be fine, but your crystal is suitable for people from the outside world. A human baby will start to absorb nutrition from the mother in the belly, not to mention a demon species."

"It's even worse than a human baby. It will only make you more and more tired. If there is no demon spirit of the same species to supply you with vitality, you will be sucked dry!" said Kuzaki Temple Baihui.

"Is it so serious?" Lan Xina asked in surprise.

"Yes, but don't worry, I'll be able to help you take the egg out in a few days." Kusakiji Hakue said this in a casual tone as if asking what to eat for lunch today.

"Will it be okay if I take it out?" Lan Xina was startled and pulled away the hand that Jiuqisi Baihui was holding.

Jiuqisi Baihui held her hand again and continued to transfer energy. "What's the big deal? Medicine snakes spend their childhood in eggs. What's so strange about this? Moreover, if you take the egg out, the child can live and you will be comfortable. It will require less energy. Or do you not want to have a child painlessly?"

Lan Xina turned around when she heard the word painless, with a little excitement in her eyes, "Really?"

Kusakiji Baihui looked sincere, but in fact she was fooling people, "Really? You still don't believe me? Sister!"

"I'll trust you again!"

"In fact, if you want the child to be born earlier, you have to do as I said just now. The egg is in the stomach, and then other spirits will transfer vitality, but you will be very tired."

"Do you have experience?"

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui shook her head, "How is that possible! It's just that I saw someone like you a long time ago, and I'm scared just thinking about it. I'm really afraid that he will die."

Jiuqisi thought that the reactions of both men and women during pregnancy should be similar. In order to confirm his own idea, Jiuqisi Baihui believed it without a doubt.

"If you take out the eggs, you have to carry them with you and occasionally interact with them. This will fully meet the expectations of the snake parents. Besides, snake eggs are very hard, so there is no need to worry about them breaking."

"Then I'll rest assured..."

"But it will still break if you use too much force!" Kusaki Temple Baihui smiled, and several blue vertical lines extended from Lan Xina's forehead!

Lan Xina stroked her forehead with a shadow: I don’t want to say more, Kusaki Temple Baihui is reliable but also half unreliable!

Kusakiji Baihui took back his hand and said, "It's OK. It can probably hold out for a month."

"You look a little pale!" Lan Xina looked at Kusaki Temple Baihui's somewhat tired face. The red rouge on her lips made her face look even paler, not as rosy as before.

"You took half of my strength at once, so I have to rest for a while. That's why I have to take the child out. This way, you can absorb the energy yourself when you return to Utopia. But you have to learn the language in the secret book first. If you use your current language, it will not be accurate!"

"So this is why I have to use my own power to replenish your child's strength. Without vitality, they can only survive but cannot grow. They should start absorbing vitality from the womb, so they will have a head start as soon as they are born!"

Kusaki Temple Baihui supported her head with her hands and lay on Lan Xina's legs, with the hair on her shoulders blocking her face.

Before Kusakiji Baihui closed his eyes, a silver light flashed, "The first opportunity will come soon! I just don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse!"

After dozing for about half an hour, Lan Xina also looked at the book read by the person lying on her legs, and did not disturb her when she shook her head repeatedly.

She muttered softly, with despair and incomprehension on her face. Some of the regulations in the law book seemed outrageous at first glance, but, if you think about it carefully, they are not impossible to happen.

When Kusakiji Baihui opened her eyes, she found Lan Xina looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, which looked a bit emo.

Kusaki Temple Baihui took a glance and saw that it was the book I edited.

"You can't wear clothes that are too revealing on the street! With pictures." Lan Xina was dumbfounded when she saw this regulation. Why did they control other people's freedom of dress? When she saw the back part, wow, it exposed too much. She thought it was the same as what she wore before. Maybe she was too ignorant.

"What's wrong? Is there anything that confuses you?" asked Kusakidera Hakue.

"Why are there only pictures of people wearing underwear? There are no examples of women?" Lan Xina placed the picture in front of Kusaki Temple Baihui and pointed at the picture with her index finger.

"This is a rule specifically for people in the outside world. Pirates who entered before dressed like this. Everyone voted to decide whether to add this rule. The minority obeyed the majority. No one liked it, so they made this law." Kusakidera Shiraie replied.

"You can't wear this kind of outfit anywhere other than Lujin and the Beach Aquarium, or you'll get caught."

"If a girl wants to wear a bikini on the street, she must wear pants. This is considered normal clothing in Utopia. Anyway, you can't wear a swimming suit on the street."

"I don't care what people outside know or not. Anyway, no normal person would dress like this!" Kusaki Temple Baihui said, turning her face away, not accepting any rebuttal!

She was once disgusted by this kind of dress.

I will cry if I continue!

"Anyway, most of the crimes are to be punished by having them do hard labor in the Corona, so that those outside won't refuse to accept the punishment. Utopia has prepared some things made of seastone, which they usually can't see."

"The sea water of Utopia will not restrict those with special abilities, but the gods are the rulers of Utopia and can make some laws, so they can be suppressed. There is no need to worry about those people going wild here."

"By the way, how's your research on the recipe these days?" Kusaki Temple Baihui got up and sat cross-legged, resting her elbows on her calves.

On the belly, with his hands supporting his cheeks, his eyes were shining.

At this time, you should manually draw the emperor's saliva next to Kusakiji Shiraie's mouth.

"It's OK. I haven't tried it yet. The cooking methods of the dishes above are different from those in the New World and the Grand Line. When I was working in Dressrosa, I often went out and never saw such dishes."

"Just tell me if you can make it! Chef Kirino can do it, but he has never been successful. I'm afraid he will be so absorbed in my dishes that he won't have time to make delicious meals for everyone." Kusaki Temple Baihui cried. Her hope of fulfilling her hometown's delicacies could only rest in Lan Xina's hands.

"Let me try it. How about preparing the ingredients first? Are there any of these ingredients in the kitchen?" Lan Xina said, pointing to a picture that looked super spicy.

"No, how about we go out to the street and have a look?" said Kusakidera Shirae.

"But aren't we about to have dinner?" Lan Xina said.

Kusakiji Baihui felt a little guilty, but she didn't feel that way when she said it out loud. Instead, she felt it was natural. "I just woke you up because I felt sorry for you lying on the ground!"

Lan Xina refuted mercilessly, "It's just that when you came to see me half an hour ago, I had been lying on the ground without getting up. The biggest difference is that I went from lying to sitting."

After hearing what Lan Xina said, Jiuqisi Baihui turned over and stood up, brushing his clothes to smooth out the wrinkles as if to cover up, and holding Lan Xina's hands with both hands: "Ah~ Let's go!"

As the saying goes, a woman who acts coquettishly has the best life, and Kusaki Temple Hakue is such a woman. However, she will only treat women like Lan Xina who are easy to talk to with the right medicine. For a type like Kaguya Ikyo, it is probably impossible for her to meet him in her lifetime.

But if Lan Xina had no intention of pampering her, then no matter how Kyuuzaki Temple Bai Hui acted, she would not be able to succeed.

"Let's go to the kitchen first and see what's needed." Lan Xina wrote down the ingredients on the recipe. The seasonings must be available in the kitchen, so there's no need to worry.

Lan Xina held the recipe in her hand, cut it into small pieces, and hung it around her waist with a musical notation.

"Wait for me, change into some clothes."

"Yeah, I want to change too!"

Just as Kusakiji Baihui was about to step out of the door, she stopped and said, "Why don't we change together? We are sisters, so don't be so formal."

"Go, go, go. Go back to your room." Lan Xina blushed and pushed Jiuqisi Baihui's back to let her go out.

Lan Xina changed into a black kimono with purple flowers printed on it, and tied a large pink bow on her back. She tied her hair into a low bun and painted her face darker.

Kusakidera Shirae was wearing a white kimono with some red flowers and butterflies on it, and she had a red butterfly on her back.

The two of them pushed the door open at the same time and looked at each other's outfits face to face.

"Your face?" Lan Xina tilted her head and asked in doubt.

Jiuqi Temple Bai Hui's large sleeves flashed before her eyes, and her face changed back to the charming and enchanting look. With another wave of her hand, she turned back to the look Lan Xina had just seen, which was neither good-looking nor ugly.

It can only be said that it is a common face.

"I want to learn it. This method is much better than applying powder or blackening the face." Lan Xina turned around and looked at Kusaki Temple Baihui, and exclaimed.

"You can learn it when you really return to Utopia." Kusaki Temple Baihui looked at Lan Xina with a proud face, patted Lan Xina's shoulder symbolically to comfort her, and then took her arm.

After Lan Xina confirmed the ingredients available in the kitchen, the two of them went to the street each carrying a basket. Only then did Lan Xina remember to check the time.

When she went there just now, Kirino Kaoru had just finished washing the vegetables, which meant that there was still a long time before dinner. She glared at Kusakiji Shiraie who was pretending to be stupid.

"Get out of the way!" The man in front, who was scantily clad and looked like a pirate, shouted.

The two of them naturally retreated to the sides of the street.

"Didn't you say that costumes that are not from Wano Country cannot appear in Wano Country?" Lan Xina looked at the other person who was obviously not from Wano Country, and turned to talk to Kusaki Temple Hakue.

"That's right. They are from Onigashima. They are the people of Wano Country who are known to the public by the general. Everyone is not so averse to them."

"What's the general's name?"

"Black Charcoal Snake!"

"Oh~"

"The people on Ghost Island would send treasure ships down to transport goods and materials to Ghost Island at a certain time every week for the post-war banquets they held after each victory."

"So I have to meet unreasonable people like this once a week, but the principle of Utopia is not to interfere in their affairs, so I can't do anything."

"And Wano Country's industry has already begun to be built. Except for the Flower City, other places have more or less suffered from certain pollution, but they don't seem to be aware of any problems!"

"Now that you are also a member of Utopia, you can't interfere in these matters! Otherwise, people will be judged, and I will not show mercy!" said Kuzaki Temple Hakue.

Bring Lan Xina back to her lost thoughts.

Kusakiji Shirae closed his eyes and said, "Got it?"

Lan Xina was not listening just now and could only respond ambiguously.

A huge treasure ship passed by them.

The two continued walking towards the vegetable stall.
