Chapter 1172 Frozen Octopus
Chapter 1172 Frozen Octopus
"Talisman: Frostfall!"
As the talisman fell, snowflakes began to float in the originally clear sky.
The few people who were protected by elemental power just shuddered, while those ordinary giant octopuses gradually lost their ability to move and became frozen seafood.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Beidou let go of the rope and fell onto the deck.
She kicked away the seafood around her and said to Fu Chu who had also come down, "Oh, I was so sick just now. Fortunately, Fu Chu, you came in time, otherwise I would have to grab Ningguang's bathing pool today, hahahaha——"
"Yes, yes. I originally thought that I would never be allergic to food, but now..." Xiangling glanced at the frozen seafood at her feet while speaking, and her whole body trembled again.
"Lululululul!" Guoba ran over at this time. He didn't care much about these sticky giant octopuses. He jumped happily in front of Fu Chu.
"The current scene is indeed indescribable." Fu Chu agreed, and was very curious about how it could have turned out like this, so he asked, "So, what's going on? Xiangling, did you dig out the nest of the Yunlai giant octopus?"
"That's a long story." Xiang Ling spread her hands, feeling helpless. "I have previously researched a dish called Yunlai Crystal Sheet. That dish is very demanding on ingredients, so I came up with a solution..."
Following Xiangling's explanation, Fu Chu roughly understood what was going on.
To put it simply, Xiangling heard that Ying'er from Chunxiang Kiln had a perfume that could attract animals.
So Xiangling thought, if there is an ointment that can attract the Yunlai giant octopus, then as long as she applies it, she can sit and wait for the Yunlai giant octopus to come to her door, and then she can choose the right one.
Xiangling has always been very concerned about this aspect, and she immediately went to find Ying'er after she had an idea.
After some inquiries, they learned that the reason why the other party's ointment could attract animals was because it contained an alchemical potion developed by Timaus.
Moreover, the effect of this medicine can be changed by adding different materials.
When Xiangling heard what Ying'er said yesterday, she pestered her and asked Ying'er to make her an ointment that could attract the Yunlai giant octopus.
Before dawn today, Xiangling brought the ointment to the Death Star. Not only did she apply the ointment on herself, she also applied it on Beidou.
Speaking of this, Xiangling and Beidou both felt a little scared.
If they had fallen into the pile of octopuses just now, Beidou would be fine as she could use the lightning element to protect her body.
But Xiangling doesn't have that ability, and will definitely be overwhelmed by the countless giant octopuses.
After hearing what Xiang Ling said, Fu Chu didn't know what expression to use.
He could only sigh helplessly and said, "By the way, is there a possibility that Xiangling, your ointment doesn't have to be applied on people?"
When Fu Chu said this, Xiangling and Beidou were stunned.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about applying the ointment on my body and didn't notice it." Xiangling held her forehead with her hand, and Beidou had a similar reaction, "I didn't even turn around, what a shame."
After the two of them complained to themselves for a while, Beidou found that Wan Ye had not come down and the crew members in the cabin were also hiding, which made him feel a little strange.
"Wan Ye, and you guys, why are you all shrinking down? Come out and clean the deck!" Beidou roared, and then there was movement in the cabin.
The ship's doctor Gingko came out wrapped in a cotton coat and said, "Sister Beidou, everyone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for clothes just now. It's really a bit cold now."
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now. Do you want to turn the temperature back?" Fu Chu said as he took out the talisman and waited for the people around him to make a choice.
Seeing this, Beidou quickly stopped him and said, "Fu Chu, don't do it. It's fine like this now."
"Yes, yes, yes. The smell of the ointment on my sister Beidou and me has not yet dissipated. If we thaw, we will be hung on the mast again." Xiangling also quickly stopped Fu Chu. She didn't want to experience the situation just now again.
"Okay." Fu Chu nodded and put away the talisman. The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.
The same goes for Manye on the lookout. Although he is from Inazuma family, seafood is a frequent guest on his table.
But what happened just now really made him feel sick.
Otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding on the lookout all this time, not wanting to go down at all.
After a while, the crew of the Death Star kept warm and began to clean up the giant octopuses that were crawling all over the place.
Although Xiangling was disgusted, she did not forget the purpose of her trip.
She gave the crew the standards for the Yunlai giant octopus so that they could screen out the suitable Yunlai giant octopuses and put them away, and throw those that did not meet the standards back into the sea.
While the crew were busy, Beidou suddenly remembered that he had never asked Fu Chu why he came.
She knew that even if Fu Chu had nothing to do, he would only take a walk in Liyue Harbor and would not go out into the wild.
So Beidou picked up the octopus while asking, "By the way, Fu Chu, you should have something else to do, otherwise you wouldn't have come to Guyun Pavilion."
"Just as Captain Beidou said, I am here for something important." Fu Chu threw the octopus he picked up into the basket and continued, "I have already started preparing for Ganyu's wedding. I went to Wanmin Hall to find Xiangling and wanted to ask her for help. Later, I came to the Death Star."
Upon hearing the news, Beidou and Xiangling looked at each other, then threw the octopuses in their hands back at the same time and surrounded Fu Chu from the left and right.
Wan Ye, who was picking up octopuses with a stick not far away, noticed something strange behind him. He squatted slightly, and two frozen octopuses flew over his head.
There were two loud slaps, and the first mate, who was working honestly, fell to the ground. "Ouch, why does it hurt so much when this octopus hits me? Ginkgo, come and show me..."
"It's just two times. Why are you humming so loudly? I told you to keep your head down and not look at the road. Here you come." Ginkgo replied with a smile in his tone.
On the other side, Beidou looked Fu Chu up and down and said, "Although you and Ganyu's relationship has been going on for a long time, I thought we would have to wait a few years. Anyway, congratulations."
"Congratulations, this day has finally come. Walnut has complained to me many times before, saying that you guys are too slow."
Xiangling smiled with relief when she said this. In her opinion, Fu Chu and Gan Yu exchanged tokens during the Lantern Festival last year, and only decided to hold the wedding after the Lantern Festival this year. It was really dragging on for too long.
"Haha, thank you both for your blessings." Fu Chu smiled and did not write down the walnuts in his notebook. He then said, "Then Xiangling, will you be free by then?"
"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely. Leave the wedding banquet to me. I promise to give my all, oh no, twelve points of my strength!" Xiangling puffed out her chest confidently and asked Guoba, "Don't you think so, Guoba?"
"Lulululul!" Guoba raised his hands and flexed the muscles in his arms to indicate that there was no problem at all.
