Chapter 367 Flowers, Snakes, and Giants
Flower arrangement is a science.
When choosing a vase, it should be of moderate size, and the pattern on it should be compatible with the fragrance and color of the flowers.
For example, peonies should be placed in celadon. The cool color can neutralize the fragrance of the flowers, making the passionate passion implicit and lasting. Only when the admirer gets close to it can he appreciate its beauty.
As for purple roses, a black vase is suitable. The dark background can create a charming atmosphere. Through the dark depth, the fragrance of the flowers is more elegant, showing nobility in the mystery.
In addition, pink peach blossoms should be set against white, cool edelweiss should be set against blue, and delicate daisies and soft dandelions are more suitable for wood color as the base tone.
Of course, the choice of vase is just an external factor. To obtain a perfect work of art, both the angle of flower arrangement and the technique of arrangement play an irreplaceable role.
As an experienced gardener, Yakumo Shiro is very familiar with this "leisure". Even if it is the first time for him to come into contact with a flower, he can make it show its most beautiful posture in the most satisfactory way.
Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful and beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing.
As the moonlight gradually slants, the first ray of morning light appears by the window. The flowers filled with dew are crystal clear. Following the warmth around them, they wake up from a night of sleep and quietly open their watery eyes.
"Woo, good morning, Bai~
Ah, should I say... my husband~
Although I have experienced the same beautiful and moving dream as last night many times, it is true that no matter how many times, I am always willing to embrace this joy and this unreserved honesty!
So, please forgive my greed. It's because you and I are such a perfect match, my lord husband.
Inescapable, hard to extricate oneself, this is... the tornado of love!"
The delicate branches still retained the decadence after the wind and rain, but the flowers nourished by the rain looked even more beautiful. After waking up, the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of half-smiling eyes, which made Hancock, who was already a little "drunk", fall into the "reverse" charm all of a sudden. The love that faintly emerged in her eyes was just like an ordinary foolish mortal, becoming a captive of love.
"Well, it's amazing that you have such self-awareness, my Lady Empress. It takes a lot of my energy to care for a peony in full bloom~"
Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Yakumo Bai did not say it directly. Instead, he gave Hancock a deep hug and kiss as a response to his love.
"Hmm, Hmm."
As their lips and teeth intertwined, silver threads were connected into a line. After the lingering tenderness, a pure kiss was often the most effective sobering agent. While the beautiful sound was still echoing in her mind, Hancock finally realized the rare beauty around her, as well as the drifting night.
It turned out that the woman Smoothie was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and she even surrendered long before the little rabbit.
The purple mermaid, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, was a rose with thorns. However, she was soon defeated because she had just experienced the storm.
Reiju was on par with him as usual, but in the end, it was still him who stayed with Yakumo until the end.
"By the way, how's Amazon Lily doing now? With Gion as an example, those 'surrendered' female marines shouldn't have caused any trouble, right?"
After a brief moment of tenderness, seeing the beauty beside him calm down a little, Yakumo Haku suddenly asked this. If he remembered correctly, when he retreated from the G-1 branch, he also included the navy led by Gion into the space of the Door-Door Fruit. Otherwise, they alone would probably not be able to survive the attack of the King of Heaven.
"Navy...? Ah, those guys you're talking about, with your help, my husband, they're just a few navy men, so naturally they wouldn't dare to disobey you in the slightest.
In fact, being able to join my country might be an opportunity and an honor for them. After all, the Amazon Lily is no longer what it used to be! "
With deep pride and joy, Hancock said softly that only she knew what amazing changes had taken place in the once rather primitive country over the years.
As Hancock's "dowry" in a sense, Yakumo Bai will naturally not treat her badly for her loyalty to an entire country.
Not only did it solve the problem of resource scarcity on Nine Snake Island once and for all, but it also used the most advanced technology to transform the entire island and Amazon Lily's warships.
At the same time, with more professional and systematic training, especially with the help of the "Fate" artificial devil fruit, the strength of the entire Amazon Lily has risen several levels compared to before.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps from the perspective of national tradition and women's aesthetics, when it comes to the choice of artificial devil fruits, most Amazon Lily warriors choose snakes and cats. In addition, there are birds like peacocks, and beasts like deer and foxes. The less popular ones are butterfly-like insects and jellyfish-like fish fruits, etc.
Now that the technology for artificial devil fruits has matured, Inazuma can create any animal-type devil fruit below the mythical beast level. The only difference is the amount of time it takes.
"Having said that, the addition of this group of female sailors should be able to alleviate Amazon Lily's population shortage problem to some extent. After all, no matter from which perspective, Amazon Lily is a bit small as a country, which can't effectively support your title of Empress~"
Thinking of the village-sized size of Nine Snake Island and its unique traditions, Yakumo Bai couldn't help but recall his previous investigation and research on the Amazon Lily residents.
It is unknown when this country, which has been dominated by women for hundreds of years, was born, but its continued existence to this day can only be attributed to the unique abilities of women, in addition to the natural advantages of the doldrums.
As a scientist second only to Vegapunk in the ocean, Yakumo Shiro had naturally investigated the reasons behind this a long time ago. As speculated, the residents of this country have already determined the characteristics similar to the "parthenogenesis" of bees at the level of bloodline factors.
If it weren't for the intervention of technology in ancient times, then the power of the devil fruit is most likely the source of everything.
Perhaps it was the Hormone Fruit? The Sickness Fruit? Or perhaps the Surgery Fruit... Those influenced by the fruit's power established a female-dominated nation in the remote heart of the doldrums. From then on, the inheritance of bloodline factors has continued to influence the country's development to this day.
In any case, out of respect for Hancock and the tradition of Amazon Lily, Yakumo Haku has no intention of changing this status quo. After leaving the Calm Belt, women from Inazuma to all over the sea who are unrestrained and yearn for stability can become the source of the growth of Amazon Lily, and this is just the beginning.
. . . .
Pull the bones out of the soft ocean and wake up the body from the gentle homeland. No matter what kind of joy you have experienced, you must eventually wake up and face reality.
The cute little rabbit smacked its lips, as if savoring the sweetness of the carrot; the lazy and elegant pink butterfly fluttered its wings, finally having a moment of leisure after a busy day.
The Minister of Juice was unusually exhausted, having contributed the sweetest juice to the feast. The Kingdom's twin sisters were no longer as glorious as they had been yesterday, having served as assistants for the night under the Empress's command.
The mermaid holding the crystal ball walked for the first time. The numbness and soreness in her thighs reminded her to quickly pull up the confused princess and return home.
When the instigator of the incident finally got up from the warm and fragrant room and was refreshed by the service of Monet and Monica, when Yakumo Bai opened the door, he met the fox sister who was like a deep pool.
The pink fox ears trembled, and the fluffy tail swayed left and right. Yao Ye seemed to have anticipated what happened last night. His expression did not change significantly. He just came forward with a gust of fragrant wind, and reached out to one of the nine-tailed fox's tails in front of him. He gently twisted it and said softly,
"It seems like you've already done some rehearsals before your sailing vacation. I'll owe you my share for now, but I'll definitely pay you back double later~
——But before that, let’s welcome our historian home first!”
There was a deep sea hidden beneath the plain words. Just when Yakumo Bai felt something was wrong, he fell into a brief confusion because of the second half of Yao Ye's words.
His intuition told him that the other party had not finished speaking, and just as Yakumo Bai met Yao Ye's pair of flashing purple eyes, he also heard a defiant laugh from afar.
"Kihahaha! Long time no see, Kingdom of Beasts! Inazuma! Are you ready to meet the Sun God?"
