Those rebels handed over to Tianling were all his brothers who fought alongside him. Although he knew they deserved what they had done, he still felt uneasy.
However, he also knew that Lu Lin had actually made many concessions in the subsequent negotiations, offering Haiqi Island very favorable conditions.
Not to mention that Lu Lin single-handedly saved Haiqi Island from danger this time, and the entire island's inhabitants owe him a debt of gratitude for saving their lives.
Now that the strategist and he have such a good relationship, it's inappropriate for him to say anything.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Time to report on my work!
He came to report on the progress of eliminating the remaining abyssal demons. The land area of Haiqi Island has been thoroughly cleared, and the operation will soon expand to the sea.
The elite troops under the command of Kujo Sara have integrated quite well with the local army of Umijima.
The two sides, who were originally fighting each other on the battlefield, are now fighting side by side, so naturally there will be some discordant voices.
However, Lu Lin's overwhelming power yesterday, descending from the sky and slaughtering everyone in his path, was simply too great. Even the most unconvinced person had no choice but to obediently cooperate.
After Goro left, Xinhai looked at Lu Lin apologetically. She knew that Goro was not very friendly towards Lu Lin.
But in reality, Lu Lin didn't care at all; the "Idle Things Monthly" would teach Goro how to be a person.
You agree, Miss Sheena?
When Lu Lin said he would help Xin Hai govern Haiqi Island, he wasn't just spouting nonsense to flatter a girl.
His political abilities were already quite good, and he also possessed a wealth of knowledge and advanced thinking that set him apart from others in this world.
He can offer many constructive suggestions for a country as large as Liyue, let alone a tiny place like Haiqi Island.
Lu Lin and Xin Hai chatted in each other's office all day. The two had a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, culture, and military affairs. Xin Hai listened with great interest and was completely captivated.
“Lu Lin, I feel that if I follow what you’ve said, the day when I become your ornamental fish won’t be too far off.”
Xin Hai felt genuine admiration and respect for Lu Lin at this moment. She had gained a lot today, and her notebook was filled with notes on the key points Lu Lin had mentioned.
She discovered that this man was like a huge treasure trove, always bringing her surprises.
"Isn't it too far? But I want to see it today, what should I do?" Lu Lin asked with a slight smile.
"I'll do whatever you say!" Miss Ornamental Fish lowered her head shyly.
"I want to go swimming. Do you have any swimming pools or anything like that around here?" Lu Lin changed the subject.
"Swimming? There aren't any dedicated swimming pools on Haizhi Island, but I know a secluded spot suitable for swimming—"
She knew that Lu Lin's goal was not just swimming, so concealment was very important.
"Lead the way! Lead the way!"
"Come with me~"
"By the way, do you have a swimsuit?"
"Eh?!"
Chapter 272 Swimsuit Show
There is no swimsuit in the sea of my heart.
Although she lived on Haiji Island, a place surrounded by the sea, she didn't really enjoy swimming; her hobby was reading.
But this was no problem for Lu Lin; he had no shortage of all sorts of strange clothes. And he had them in all sizes, so finding a suitable pair for Xin Hai was a piece of cake.
While looking for clothes in Chenge Pot, Lu Lin also called Beidou along. Xin Hai's combat strength was relatively average, so he needed to find her a helper.
Moreover, she wasn't very familiar with the other girls, so the most suitable ones were Beidou and Yingmei. Yingmei was still undergoing trials at Yuanxia Palace.
When Xin Hai saw Bei Dou and Lu Lin coming over together, her face immediately turned red.
How could a smart girl like her not be able to guess Lu Lin's little scheme?
She had already guessed that Beidou was also Lu Lin's woman. Lu Lin must have had an anchor point when he descended from the sky yesterday. She wasn't a member of Chengehu at the time, so it was obvious who that anchor point was.
It couldn't possibly be those ordinary soldiers from Haiqi Island, could it?
She didn't really mind that Lu Lin had other women, after all, she knew she was the one who came later, and at least there was Lei Dianzhen before her.
However, not minding doesn't mean she can accept being with multiple people right now. For someone like Xin Hai, who is relatively innocent and shy when it comes to relationships, this is still a bit too advanced.
But since they're already here, we can't just kick them out, can we? That would ruin our sisterly relationship!
She and Beidou had a good relationship to begin with, so she wouldn't do something like this.
"Sister Hokuto..." the shy pink-haired girl greeted softly, changing her address from the official Captain Hokuto to Sister Hokuto.
Seeing her shyness and nervousness, Beidou took the initiative to step forward and hold Xinhai's hand: "Hey, Xinhai, don't be so nervous. There will be more sisters with you in the future. You'll get used to it."
"Oh, so many sisters?" Miss Ornamental Fish was a little confused.
She knew Lu Lin was a womanizer, but she wasn't really sure how many women he had.
"Hmm~ I know of at least a dozen, and there are probably a few more I don't know. There must be at least several dozen." Beidou glanced at Lu Lin, his smile tinged with mockery.
"Several...dozens?!" The pink-haired girl covered her mouth in surprise, her watery eyes wide open.
This is too much!
Xin Hai's gaze towards Lu Lin changed again. Dozens of people, how capable must he be? Can he handle them?
Thinking of his vigorous performance last night, the girl blushed again.
"Sigh! This is nothing. Knowing his habits, there will only be more in the future."
"So... are the other sisters easy to get along with?"
"Don't worry, everyone is easy to get along with. At least the sisters I know all get along very well."
......
That's why it's so great to have experienced mentors, especially someone like Beidou, who is warm, generous, and can get along with anyone. He's perfect for mentoring newcomers.
Under her warm greeting, any shyness in my heart had long since vanished.
The best way for two people to quickly get closer is to have a third person join them in cricket fighting.
They're doing the same thing now, but the crickets they're catching are now with Lu Lin.
The two chatted back and forth, recounting some anecdotes about Lu Lin, and Xin Hai's understanding of Lu Lin gradually deepened.
Lu Lin walked behind, watching the two chatter more and more intimately, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
......
The secluded place Xin Hai mentioned was indeed quite secluded, as it was another cave.
However, this cave was many times larger than her secret base.
The cave was located at a low elevation. From the entrance, there was a narrow passageway. Following the passageway downwards, Lu Lin estimated that he had entered the underground area and finally reached his destination.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Beidou was stunned by the beautiful scenery before him.
Before your eyes is a clear pool of water, and deep underground, there is a cave that should be pitch black, but the light here is excellent, making the entire cave as bright as day.
The light source comes from the minerals scattered around the pool, which emit a bright glow, making the pool colorful and beautiful.
The scenery alone makes the trip worthwhile!
The water in the pool is flowing water and doesn't look very deep. The water is crystal clear and the bottom is covered with round pebbles, making it a great place for swimming.
"This is an underground water vein that I discovered by chance. The water flows deep underground. The place is hidden and no islanders know about it."
"It's truly beautiful, like a fairyland!" Beidou exclaimed in admiration. She pulled Xinhai along, "Come on, let's go change our clothes!"
"Huh? Do we really have to change into that swimsuit?" Xin Hai's pretty face flushed again. The swimsuit Lu Lin brought was so different from the swimsuits she knew!
"It's okay, I actually think this style is quite interesting."
Beidou pulled Xinhai towards a secluded spot. It was actually the first time she had ever worn such clothes, but she was much more confident and not shy at all.
"Turn around, and don't peek!" To appease Xin Hai, she even chased Lu Lin away.
Lu Lin hadn't planned to peek at them changing clothes. He quickly changed into his swimming trunks and went into the pool first.
To his surprise, the pool water wasn't cold at all; it actually had a slight warmth to it. Although it wasn't as warm as a hot spring, it was still quite comfortable.
He swam around in the water and felt great!
The deepest part of the pool is only one meter, and near the edge it is only half a meter, which is just the right depth.
Lu Lin took a small table from Chen Ge Hu and placed it in the shallow part of the water, put a few plates of snacks and a bottle of wine on it, and the vacation vibe was there.
Meanwhile, the two beauties who had gone to change their clothes also finished and went down into the pool.
Xin Hai was shy, so Bei Dou walked ahead while she followed closely behind.
Lu Lin looked up, his brow twitched involuntarily, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
First, look at Beidou. This Liyue Dragon King is currently wearing a sexy and hot red bikini.
Having practiced martial arts for many years, she has a fit and powerful physique, full of wild charm. Perhaps due to recent skincare treatments, her skin is much fairer than before.
The red bikini complements her fair skin perfectly, showcasing a passionate and unrestrained charm, like a blooming rose, full of vitality.
The bikini design was extremely alluring, with only two small pieces of red fabric covering the chest area, barely enough to cover the vital points.
The straps were thin and stretched taut by her D-cup breasts, giving the impression that she was about to fall.
Below are two pieces of red cloth and two red ribbons. The cloth covers Beidou's plump, upturned buttocks, but in reality, it doesn't cover most of the buttocks.
The ribbons were tied into two bows, one on the left and one on the right, which was both sexy and cute.
****, passionate and unrestrained!
Behind her was the shy-looking ornamental fish.
She covered slightly more parts of her body than Beidou, but only a little more.
Chapter 273 A Little Surprise Prepared by the Heart
She also wore a bikini, but it was pink, and unlike Beidou, Miss Ornamental Fish wore a pink floral swimsuit underneath.
The skirt was so short that it couldn't even cover Xinhai's pert buttocks, but it was better than nothing!
The two women glided into the water like two mermaids and swam towards Lu Lin.
"Wow, the water is still warm!" Beidou exclaimed in surprise after entering the water.
"Wait a minute, the temperature didn't seem this high before, did it?"
Xin Hai was a little puzzled. She knew the water was warm, but it hadn't been this hot before; there was even a faint steam rising from the surface.
"It's nothing, I just used my elemental power to heat the water." If there's no hot spring, he can make one himself!
Lu Lin opened the bottle and poured a glass for each of the two women.
As soon as she smelled the aroma of the wine, Beidou got excited. She quickly swam to Lu Lin's side, picked up the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you!" Lu Lin said helplessly. Captain Beidou's love for alcohol even surpassed that of most men.
"Xinhai, come over here, let's have a drink together!" Big Sister Beidou warmly greeted Xinhai.
The strategist doesn't actually drink much; as she commands Haiqi Island, she needs to keep her mind clear at all times.
But now that Lu Lin is here, he is her greatest support, and Xin Hai can finally relax a bit.
She sat down to Lu Lin's left and picked up her wine glass.
Lu Lin prepared not strong liquor, but a sweet fruit wine, mainly to cater to Xin Hai, who doesn't drink often.
They said they came to swim, but after Lu Lin swam one lap, the three of them immediately started drinking.
Xin Hai's alcohol tolerance was indeed not very high. After only two drinks, his face turned an alluring flush, and his eyes gradually became hazy under the steam.
Lu Lin put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Feed me a sip!"
Although her consciousness was somewhat hazy, she still retained some clarity in her mind, and with her intelligence, she understood Lu Lin's hidden meaning.
The pink-haired girl pursed her lips, took a sip of wine, wrapped her arms around Lu Lin's neck, and offered her fragrant lips.
The sweet wine was fed to Lu Lin through the girl's soft lips. He savored it carefully, then nodded and said, "This wine is really good~"
Xin Hai puffed out her cheeks, a hint of defiance flashing in her soft eyes. "Is it just the wine that's good?"
"Let me savor your lips again~" Lu Lin chuckled and lowered his head again to capture her lips in his mouth.
