Chapter 1034: Discussing with Clorinde
After talking with Kavi, Shao Yun asked him to polish the ranch design by himself, after all, some devices for storing phlogiston had to be added.
Afterwards, Shao Yun and Ying continued to look at the Yingying shopping list in their hands. After all, Paimon had finished making his choice, and these two also had to make theirs.
At this moment, a sticky voice came from behind the two of them, with a long tail tone and an indescribable feeling of asking for a beating.
"Oh! My Princess! Look who has recovered from his injuries and is back? Have you been missing me these past few days?"
Hearing this servile voice, Yingtou didn't even turn around. Instead, she rolled her eyes very skillfully, her mouth curled downwards as she muttered, "Who else but Yuanshang could have such a servile tone?"
Before he finished speaking, Yuanshang had already floated behind Ying with a "whoosh".
He rubbed his hands in front of him, leaned his head forward, and stared at Ying with a pair of bright eyes.
"Hehe, Princess! It seems like you've been talking about me a lot these days~"
Shao Yun looked at him with a look that asked for a beating, and recalled the time in Liyue when this guy had stood up to the Time Ruler's desperate attitude, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
I am indeed a little angry, but if I really want to make a fuss about it... well, forget it, we are family and shouldn't have different opinions.
He reached out and pulled Ying behind him, standing between Yuanshang and Ying. His tone was filled with a hint of warning and helplessness.
"Be careful with your address. Yingke never agreed to join any Abyss Cult, so don't call her that."
Ying nodded in agreement with Shao Yun's words. She didn't want to join any Abyss Cult now!
"That's right. Although you are my brother's subordinates, I really don't like being called 'Princess'. Just call me 'Ying'. It sounds better."
When Yuan Shang heard this, he immediately covered his heart and took half a step back, bending over exaggeratedly, and his voice was filled with tears.
"No! How can my princess not want this title!"
He secretly raised his eyes to glance at Ying's tight mouth, then his face fell again.
"Could it be that if His Royal Highness is crooked, there won't even be a Princess to make up for it? You can't make His Royal Highness wear women's clothes to make up for it, right?"
……
At the same time, Kong, who was looking at his niece, suddenly felt a chill... It felt like someone was greedy for his body?
……
Shao Yun felt his temples throbbing, so he raised his hand and slapped Yuan Shang on the back of his head, not too hard or too light, just enough to make him scream "ouch" and stand up straight.
"Okay, stop acting like a sympathetic child here. We're just picking out the shadows, don't waste time."
Yuan Shang rubbed the back of his head, and the "sadness" in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Instead, he moved closer, staring at the shadow list in Shao Yun's hand with sparkling eyes.
"Choosing a film? I'm familiar with that! I've got all the latest films released by Fontaine, from romances to adventures. I promise to recommend the best ones to you!"
Shao Yun raised an eyebrow at his expression, which changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and couldn't help but complain: "I knew you would say that, Mr. Know-It-All."
He said this, but handed over the film list in his hand, "Okay, then tell me, which one is worth watching?"
Yuanshang immediately took the list and began to analyze it seriously.
"This film, 'Underwater Ancient City Exploration', is a must-see! The diving shots are amazing. They say they used Fontaine's latest underwater photography technology. You can even see the patterns in the fish's tails clearly."
"Oh, and this, too! 'The Glazed Water Mirror and the Unsent Letter'! It's a really good romance!"
Just as Yuanshang was talking incessantly about Yingying's shopping list, a purple figure with a faint smell of gunpowder passed by the association's reception desk.
The person who came was Clorinde!
When her eyes fell on Shao Yun, she stopped and waved her hand in this direction.
"master?"
Shao Yun was feeling overwhelmed by what Yuan Shang said. He turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes lit up when he saw the iconic purple color.
"Clorind?"
……
Meeting is fate, and then Clorinde exchanged greetings with Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.
Then, she took the initiative to ask Shao Yun: "By the way, Master, are you busy now?"
Shao Yun looked at Yuan Shang, who was trying to decide which movie to buy, and said to Clorinde, "He's busy indeed, busy choosing Yingying."
When Clorinde heard that Shao Yun was a bit busy, she suppressed the thought of wanting to spar with Shao Yun and asked, "Then, in the evening when I get off work, are you free? I think we can have a sparring match."
When Shao Yun heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Ying and said uncertainly: "Well, it should be okay."
Ying felt Shao Yun's gaze on her face, looked up at him, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Shao Yun winked at her and leaned closer to her ear, saying, "I'm just worried that you'll get anxious again. What if you think of something else and become emo again like you did in Qianzhiwu?"
The words "something else" sounded particularly ambiguous, and Ying's cheeks suddenly became hot.
She glanced over in the direction Shao Yun was looking.
Clorinde's purple outfit outlined neat lines, the curve of her chest was indeed eye-catching, and even the buttons of her uniform were stretched tightly.
Ying's eyes widened instantly, and she reached out and twisted Shao Yun's arm in anger and shame, and stepped on the surface of his boot without any hesitation.
"What the hell is going on in your head! Who would be emo because of this?! Forget those words right now!"
"Ah..." Shao Yun deliberately took a breath of cold air in an exaggerated manner and said, "Okay, okay, I forgot, don't be jealous!"
"Who's jealous! When did I ever care about your social life?" Ying's voice was a little hazy, her cheeks were so red that blood seemed to drip out. She turned her head and pretended to look at Yingying's list, but her ears were actually red.
Why does my husband remember these things? Why does he always remember me saying that I have small breasts?
Although Clorinde, who was standing next to them, didn't hear the two people's whispers clearly, she saw Ying suddenly get angry.
Faced with this situation, she raised her hand and coughed lightly.
"If Master has something to do, we can discuss it another day. I'm not in a hurry."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shao Yun stood up, patted Ying's shoulder to comfort her, turned around and smiled at Clorinde.
……
In short, Shao Yun agreed to go and practice with Clorinde after she got off work.
……
In the evening, Fontaine was dyed a warm golden color by the setting sun, and the glass dome of the Water Transport Center in the Fontaine District reflected the golden light.
Since the track patrol boat does not have a stop in Baisong Town, you can only take the traditional Fontaine speedboat.
After Clorinde met up with Shao Yun who was waiting in the hall, they boarded a boat and headed for Baisong Town.
Half an hour later, the speedboat slowly approached the dock of Baisong Town. As soon as Shao Yun stepped onto the gangplank, he couldn't help but exclaimed,
The pier in front of me is no longer the rusty iron plate in my memory. Instead, it is a blue-gray stone step with Fontaine-style copper railings on the edge.
"The Baisong Town dock has been renovated? I remember it was just a piece of iron plate before."
Clorinde explained, "Thanks to Miss Eula's donation, Baisong Town has been completely renovated and has taken on some industries. Other infrastructure construction has also gradually caught up."
Shao Yun scratched his head and then asked, "Took over some industries? What do you mean? How does Baisong Town make money now?"
"It's Yingying."
Clorinde recalled what they talked about about Baisong Town when Navia took her and Funina to a tea party a few days ago, and replied.
"Navia said that after the Thousand Spirit Shadow Festival, the enthusiasm of the Fontaine people for Shadow increased several times, and the Thorn Rose Society took the opportunity to invest in several Shadow companies."
"Oh, yes, including Gunrair Pictures. Do you remember when we filmed 'The Gunrairies'?"
Shao Yun nodded. Of course he remembered the filming of the movie.
After all, he was the one who invested in Xavier himself.
Clorinde continued to elaborate on Navia's plan, saying, "Navia's idea is to make Baisong Town the filming location for Yingying."
"If everything goes well, the fourth orbital patrol ship route planned by Mr. Caress could begin construction within about five years."
After listening to this money-making plan, Shao Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this was much more reliable than simply relying on donations from merchants, or relying on "Sister Na will help you" to earn commissions!
"Indeed, this plan is much more stable than relying on donations from merchants."
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun and Clorinde finally arrived at Clorinde's old home after a not-too-long journey.
Since it is a competition, safety must be taken into consideration, and any behavior that is too dangerous is definitely prohibited!
Finally, Clorinde discovered that both of them were wearing hats. In this case, the two decided that whoever knocked off the other's hat first in the duel would win!
Ah, this... this doesn't look safe at all!
However, Shao Yun was absolutely confident in his marksmanship, so he did not refuse and nodded to show his agreement.
Just like that, the rules of the competition were set.
Shao Yun and Clorinde stood in the middle of the yard, about five meters apart, ready to start this unique duel.
Clorinde placed her right hand on the handle of her holstered break-action rifle and said solemnly, "Master, please teach me!"
Compared to the slightly nervous Clorinde, Shao Yun seemed particularly relaxed and even joked with Clorinde.
"Knock someone's hat off? I hope you don't shoot me in the head."
When Clorinde heard Shao Yun's words, she couldn't help swallowing.
She took a deep breath and begged, "Master, please don't show mercy. I hope you can use all your strength to show me how big the gap between you and me is!"
