Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

She also had to wash her hair; the black blood had dyed her dark brown hair black, making it sticky and incredibly uncomfortable.

“Let’s go wash in the sea…” Jiang Bai used Bai Yuan to support himself as he stood up and dragged a bucket into the sea.

Chapter 566 A sneaky kiss, will I get caught?

The three of them were soaking in the seawater.

The clean seawater was polluted by the black blood that kept seeping from their bodies.

Like three large sources of pollution.

Jiang Bai simply took off his clothes, leaving only his shorts soaking in the water.

The same applies to a single bushel.

The clothes on my body were stained with so much blood that they couldn't be washed clean, and there was no need to wear them anymore.

Walnut was on the other side, a little further away from them.

She lay sprawled on the sea, her loose hair resembling seaweed, constantly being washed by the seawater.

She took off her coat, leaving only her simple undershirt.

Touching her sticky hair, she was extremely distressed.

"How long will it take to wash this clean...?"

She doesn't really like spending too much time washing her hair.

Jiang Bai's voice came from the side.

"Master, are you done? Don't stay in the water for too long, or you'll get sick."

They had just done strenuous exercise and shouldn't have been soaking in the water.

But there was no way around it; I was just too dirty.

"All right."

Walnut, clutching her wet hair, walked onto the beach.

She planned to find a place to rest, boil water, and wash herself thoroughly with cleaning products, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get it clean at all.

"Let's rest here."

The three of them were too lazy to walk too far, so they found a slightly sheltered spot nearby to set up camp and rest.

Ignoring his wet hair, Yi Dou conjured a stone coffin, laid it down without covering it, and went straight to sleep.

I'm so tired, I desperately need to rest.

We can talk about eating later, after we've woken up.

Hu Tao's voice came from the changing room, "Help me get a stove to boil water, I want to take a good shower."

Jiang Bai nodded, created a stove, took out a Gudu (a type of food), and also built a shampoo bed.

"Master, let me wash your hair."

After changing out of her wet clothes, Hu Tao nodded, flicked a flame into the stove, took out shampoo, and lay down on the shampoo bed.

The hot water was quickly heated up. Jiang Bai used the warm water to wet Hu Tao's hair again, squeezed out the shampoo, and lathered it up in her hair.

He began to carefully scrub the bloodstains off her long hair.

He moved very gently, occasionally pouring hot water on her head to prevent it from getting cold.

While washing, he took out a comb and carefully combed through the clumps of hair.

The white foam gradually turned black, then was rinsed away with water.

Jiang Bai squeezed out more shampoo and cleaned the dirt off her scalp.

Hu Tao had fallen asleep at some point; even for her, such intense combat was extremely taxing on her stamina.

Jiang Bai gently stroked her delicate nose with his foamy fingers. "Falling asleep already?"

Feeling something on her face, Hu Tao mumbled something, but showed no signs of waking up.

"She slept quite soundly."

Jiang Bai had no choice but to continue washing his hair.

After repeating this several times, her hair finally returned to normal.

After applying hair oil and then perfume, and then drying her hair, almost an hour had passed.

Jiang Bai gently wiped her face; her delicate, pink face was clean and free of any dirt.

Jiang Bai squatted down beside her and couldn't resist gently pinching her cheek.

"It seems like he's grown up..."

When we first met, Hu Tao's face was still quite round, but now her baby fat has completely disappeared, making her look even more charming and youthful.

Jiang Bai stared at those naturally red lips for a long time, feeling like a pervert.

He quickly shook the thoughts out of his head.

How could you say that about yourself?

As he leaned closer to Hu Tao's face, his heart raced faster and faster, as if he were doing something wrong, feeling extremely guilty.

Finally, he gently touched Walnut's red lips.

Then he nervously looked around, afraid of being seen by something.

It took him a while for his heartbeat to gradually calm down.

He touched his lips, and the tuft of hair on his head swayed happily.

Humming a cheerful tune, he carried Hu Tao into the coffin and covered her with a blanket.

He quickly washed himself with hot water, took out his gudong (a type of instant noodle) and kept it by his side. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep.

"Ah~ I'm sleeping so soundly..."

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Hu Tao woke up from the coffin.

She touched her hair; it was smooth, shiny, and had a scent she liked.

Jiang Bai washed it very carefully.

She lifted the lid of Jiang Bai's coffin and peeked inside. The guy was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly.

Hu Tao squatted on the coffin and looked at him.

Compared to his usual lively and energetic self with his eyes open, he actually looks better with his eyes closed.

The touch of red at the corner of her eye looked like natural eyeshadow; even makeup couldn't replicate that natural effect.

Prestigious and mysterious.

But when she smiles, she exudes a completely different aura.

To put it in a simple, easy-to-understand way:

A sunny and cheerful young man.

She smiled slyly, took out a feather, and gently tickled the tip of his nose.

"Ah, ouch—"

Jiang Bai woke up groggily from a sneeze, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Hu Tao's face.

He felt a little guilty, but then, thinking that no one should notice, he casually rubbed his eyes.

"Master, what time is it?"

"I don't know. But I'm so hungry, I want to eat something hot."

After fighting for so long without eating and sleeping for who knows how long, my internal organs were already screaming for help.

"I'll do it."

"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say!"

Hu Tao sat on a large rock, swinging her toes, humming a song as she watched Jiang Bai cook.

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"You'll get the hang of it as you do it more."

Jiang Bai is now able to control the taste of food to a very good level.

Of course, you can only control the dishes you make frequently and are good at.

For those dishes we've never made before, it's all up to fate.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Yidou twitched his nose and crawled out of the coffin. Despite being sleepy, he walked to the table with his eyes closed.

"It smells so good..."

Hu Tao popped the bubble of sleep in him, "Wake up, go wash up and eat!"

Yidou suddenly woke up, his rumbling stomach threatening to rebel.

Upon tasting the fragrant rice, Yi Dou was deeply moved.

"How wonderful!"

Nothing is more blissful than a meal of rice when you're starving.

My hands are a little sore, and they're shaking when I hold chopsticks.

"We've finished our business on the island. After a rest and getting plenty of rest, we can prepare to head to the border!"

"Uh-huh!"

Yi Dou is looking forward to going to the border.

I've never known what a boundary looks like in all my years.

"I'll go to Liyue to stock up on some food later."

Who knows how long it will take to reach the border, but there's no need to worry about anything; food must be prepared first.

His current Sanqing Bell is filled with various antiques he picked up from the ruins of Heguan. He needs to go back and empty it before he can put in anything else.

"I want to eat shrimp dumplings, remember to bring some."

Chapter 567 Ignorance is Good

After resting and regaining his energy, Jiang Bai used the ley line anchor to return to Liyue and went home first.

After putting all the miscellaneous antique items he had stored in his personal space into the house, Jiang Bai headed straight to the market to buy ingredients.

Because he didn't know how long it would take to get to the border, he prepared enough food for three people to last for half a month.

We could catch some more seafood and fish, and stay at sea for a month without any problem.

In addition to regular food, he also brought a lot of snacks and a lot of seasonings.

With walnuts around, there's absolutely no need for firewood for cooking or daily life.

With a water-generating machine, they didn't need to prepare fresh water, making their preparations for long voyages much easier compared to those of large fleets.

Back at Heguan, Yidou and Hutao had almost fully recovered, at least mentally.

As for muscle soreness, it won't get better in a short time.

"Let's set sail!"

Yidou stood at the bow of the large ship he had built, pointing forward.

Under Jiang Bai's control, the large ship braved the wind and waves, quickly moving from the gloomy He Guan to the sunny sea.

"What a welcome sight to see sunshine!"

Feeling the warm sunshine on her body, Hu Tao stretched comfortably.

They stayed in Heguan for more than half a month. Every day was a dark environment, surrounded by thick fog, and they couldn't see anything. Staying there for a long time can easily lead to depression.

It's truly a wonder that Aru and her clan were able to survive in Crane Gate for so long.
