Of course, taking a bath isn't just taking a bath; there's no such thing as a pure bath at Lu Lin's place.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while and missed each other terribly, so they ended up getting entangled in each other's company while soaking in the water.
First came a passionate kiss, then Captain Beidou let out a long moan, and the water in the bathtub began to ripple rhythmically.
Amidst the rippling water, the Big Sister of the Big Dipper, known as the Dragon King, spoke with an increasingly charming and alluring voice, displaying a striking contrast in her allure that sent shivers down Lu Lin's spine.
The sounds of rushing water, crisp splashing, and Captain Beidou's long chants blended together, echoing endlessly in the bathroom.
Having just gone through a fierce battle, the two did not enjoy their time together for long.
Lu Lin brought Beidou to climax twice, and the second time, he also climaxed, satisfying the girl he hadn't seen in a long time.
After enjoying the afterglow for a while, the two got dressed and returned to Haiqi Island.
......
While Lu Lin took a break from his busy schedule to enjoy himself with the beautiful captain, Xin Hai and Ying also made preparations and successfully sent Ying into the Yuanxia Palace.
Meanwhile, Kujo Sara led an elite squad of the shogunate army to Umijima Island to help the island's troops wipe out the fleeing abyssal monsters.
With Lu Lin descending from the sky to defeat the army of beast hounds, and the elite troops of the Shogunate army working together to wipe out the monsters, the original resistance of the resistance army on Haiqi Island against the Shogunate army gradually subsided.
This is undoubtedly a very good sign for Umijima to integrate into Inazuma. Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, and it is not a dream that the two sides will become as close as family in time.
Seeing that everything was back on track, Xin Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once my mind relaxed, my thoughts started to wander again.
Today was truly a close call; Haiqi Island almost faced utter destruction, all thanks to Lu Lin...
She couldn't help but recall what had happened during the day.
At his most dangerous moment, Lu Lin descended from the sky like a god, sweeping across the entire field with invincible force, so unstoppable!
Xin Hai would steal a moment from her busy schedule to read novels, but she always thought those stories of heroes rescuing beauties were clichéd and boring.
But it was only when she herself became the "beauty" who rescued the damsel in distress that she felt happiness and satisfaction.
Unbeknownst to her, this handsome and dashing figure had been deeply engraved in her heart.
If only I could be with him...
Pah! Pah! Pah! What are you thinking, Xin Hai? He's so wicked! Last time he actually did it in my bed with the God...
"Xinhai, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded behind the strategist.
"Hey! Why are you appearing out of nowhere like that? You scared me to death!" Xin Hai said coquettishly, startled when she turned around and saw Lu Lin suddenly appear.
She didn't realize that when facing Lu Lin, she was no longer the calm and composed strategist, but more like an ordinary girl.
"My lord, you're wronging me. I walked over here openly and honestly. You were distracted and didn't hear my footsteps, so you can't blame me for that, can you?"
"Huh? I...I wasn't daydreaming!" Xin Hai's pretty face immediately turned red, and she turned her head away, not daring to look at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin pressed closer, circling around to face her, staring into her blue-pink eyes with a mischievous smile: "Miss Xin Hai, what are you thinking about all day? You're not thinking about me, are you?"
"No...no, don't flatter yourself!" Xin Hai blushed even more after being exposed.
"Really not?" Lu Lin continued to laugh.
The more he laughed, the redder Xin Hai's face became. This usually calm and composed strategist felt incredibly hot all over for the first time.
"Alright...alright, I was indeed thinking about something related to you, I just got distracted for a moment!" The strategist raised his head, appearing to have a clear conscience.
"Oh~ what are you thinking about? Is it about me saving you during the day, or washing the blankets...?"
"You're not allowed to say that!" Xin Hai, feeling incredibly embarrassed, quickly covered his mouth upon hearing the words "wash the blankets."
This gesture interrupted Lu Lin's words, but it also placed her in his arms.
With a simple movement, Lu Lin wrapped his arm around Miss Ornamental Fish's slender waist. The girl's faint, fresh fragrance wafted into his nose, causing him to take a deep breath.
The moment she was embraced, Xin Hai's body stiffened, and she realized that she had walked into the lion's den.
She instinctively wanted to struggle, but she also craved the warmth of Lu Lin's embrace, so she only twisted her body symbolically and whispered, "No...not here."
Chapter 268 Observe! Admire! Fish! (34/37)
This is Xin Hai's office. Although everyone is busy right now, someone might come to report on something sometime.
I'd be so embarrassed if someone saw this!
"Hmm...if not here, then where should we go?"
Lu Lin deliberately wanted to tease the shy strategist, so he gently stroked her long pink hair and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Go...go...oh no!"
Xin Hai was incredibly intelligent; how could she not understand Lu Lin's meaning? He wanted her to say it herself.
How could I possibly say such a thing?
"I know nothing about Haiqi Island. If Miss Xinhai doesn't explain clearly, I won't know where to go."
Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl couldn't help but purse her lips. You even know about the crisis of the soil turning into sacred soil on Haiqi Island, yet you still have the nerve to say that you don't know anything about Haiqi Island?
But she also knew that Lu Lin had a rather wicked sense of humor, and she probably couldn't go against his wishes.
She took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, and finally said shyly, "Let's go...to my secret hideout!"
"Wow, the Heart Sea has a secret base!" Lu Lin feigned surprise, as if it were the first time he had ever heard of it.
Miss Ornamental Fish couldn't help but roll her eyes and said reproachfully, "If you bully me again, we're not going!"
It was already night, and the people of Haiqi Island, who had been busy all day, were eating and resting. Xin Hai and Lu Lin secretly left the office and headed to her secret base.
They were sneaking around like two kittens stealing fish.
Lu Lin could certainly do it openly and honestly; he didn't care if others saw him. But Xin Hai was too shy to admit it right now.
Because of the recent attack by abyssal monsters, the patrols on Haiqi Island at night have been significantly increased, an order given by Xin Hai himself.
As a result, Miss Ornamental Fish almost got discovered by the patrol team she had called twice!
It was a short stretch of road, but Xin Hai felt like he had walked around the island several times over; it seemed like he could never finish.
The furnishings of the secret base were largely unchanged from when Lu Lin last visited, but the entrance to the cave had been concealed.
The entrance to the cave was very well hidden. If Lu Lin hadn't known in advance that there was a secret base here, he would have had a hard time finding it.
Since Lu Lin's visit, Xin Hai has added several more layers of illusion arrays to conceal the entrance to the cave.
Looking at so many illusion arrays, Lu Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're still laughing? It's all your fault!" The pink-haired girl couldn't help but roll her eyes.
After walking cautiously for a while, Miss Ornamental Fish adjusted her mindset somewhat and became less shy.
"My bad, my bad. I have a great place. Why don't we just move your secret base there? It'll be absolutely safe and quiet, and no one will bother you!"
"Where?"
"Come with me!" Lu Lin grabbed Xin Hai's soft, boneless hand and disappeared from the spot.
Inside the Dust Song Pot, Lu Lin had already prepared a place for Xin Hai to stay.
It was also a cave, but its decorations and furnishings were infinitely more exquisite than her secret base.
Although the cave is not particularly spacious, it has a study, bedroom, bathroom, and even a small kitchen, making it small but complete.
"Like it?"
"I love it so much! Is this a gift for me?" Xin Hai was still a little incredulous.
She actually really liked the secluded and quiet environment of the cave, which gave her a feeling of being an elegant recluse.
"Yes, this is for you. I can give you free access to come and go as you please. You can treat this place as your home from now on."
Lu Lin routinely explained the basic functions of the Chen Ge Pot to Xin Hai, which amazed her.
Finally, of course, they moved in naturally.

In that instant, a classic masterpiece by a certain Japanese teacher flashed through his mind.
Lu Lin glanced at his host panel again.

【Points: 41200】
After such a long period of effort, the next upgrade is getting closer and closer. I wonder what new features will be available in the next system upgrade.
Lu Lin was somewhat looking forward to it.
I've accumulated quite a few points. If I save them up a bit more, I'll revive both Kitsune-no-Miya and Mikoto Chiyo.
After taking stock of his haul, Lu Lin glanced at Miss Ornamental Fish's panel and then at the large bow on her chest, somewhat surprised.
Who would have thought that this mountain peak, hidden by the bow, would also have a C-shape?
Hmm, at only nineteen years old, he already rules over Haiqi Island and manages such a large island so well. He is indeed a genius!
"Why are you looking at me with such a strange expression?" Lu Lin stared straight at her, making her a little nervous.
"It's nothing, shall I help you move your things from the base over?"
"Okay!"
Miss Ornamental Fish's shyness and nervousness had subsided considerably, and she was now completely immersed in the joy of having acquired a new home.
Her belongings weren't anything special, just a few large bookshelves, which were quickly moved in and arranged.
Then there was the desk, the screen, and some other small ornaments, and finally, there was only the soft couch inside.
......
A secret base, inside a cave.
Lu Lin and Xin Hai knelt on the soft couch, their eyes meeting, and an ambiguous atmosphere continued to build.
The bedding was still the same set that Lu Lin had used last time. Miss Ornamental Fish hadn't changed it?
The bedding was washed very clean and had a warm, sun-dried smell.
"Xin Hai looks delicate, but I didn't expect her to be so good at housework!" Lu Lin grabbed the bedding, put it in front of him, and took a deep breath.
The faint floral fragrance, mixed with the warm scent of sunshine, smells wonderful.
"Don't...don't smell it!" Xin Hai's face turned bright red with embarrassment when she saw his actions.
"Why can't I smell it? Did you sleep up there yesterday?"
Lu Lin smiled teasingly and then deliberately asked, "By the way, Xin Hai is a living goddess priestess of Haiqi Island, but I didn't expect her to live such a simple life, not even willing to change her bedding."
Or is it that you can't bear to part with the flavor on top?
The pink-haired girl, whose secrets had been repeatedly exposed, lowered her head and dared not lift it up.
In her eyes, Lu Lin was like someone who could read minds; he could guess all her thoughts perfectly.
She didn't change the bedding, and it was indeed out of her own subtle psychology. It was the bedding he had slept in, and of course, since it was washed so clean, it didn't actually smell.
Then yesterday, no, to be precise, for the past few days, she has actually been sleeping on this soft couch.
