{I hope you can take Xia Ji away.}
Lily was not surprised to hear Zi Zi's words. The power of listening to the voices of all things allowed her to understand what was in other people's minds, not to mention that Zi Zi's meaning was too obvious.

"Tell me what you think." Lily did not agree or disagree, but asked Zi Zi back.

{We are scorpions, and Xia Ji is a human. Although she can become like us, we are not of the same kind after all. We would rather she live with people of the same kind.}
"Aren't you afraid that I will treat her the same way as the people on the island?" Lily looked at Zi Zi with amusement. She hadn't seen such simple values ​​in several years.

{You won't, we believe in the power of nature.}
"The power given by nature? Do you mean listening to the voices of all things?" Lily asked.

{I don't know what you humans call that kind of power, but we know that it is a gift from nature to all living things, and only people with good intentions can awaken this power.}
"Okay, you've convinced me. I don't mind taking the child back, or rather, I really want to take her away, but how are you going to convince her? I can see that the child regards you as family."

{I will tell her directly that complicated language is meaningless. I believe she can understand.} Zi Zi's actions were firm. She was the mother of the scorpions and the king of this island. As the king, her will could not be violated in the tribe. In her opinion, Xia Ji had already been a member of the tribe.

"Then I'll wait for you at the beach." Lily said, "I'll wait at the beach in the town until sunset today. If she doesn't come, I'll leave."

{Okay, I won't waste your time.}
After saying that, Zi Zi jumped off the stone belly and walked in the direction she came from, while Lily headed towards the town without looking back. She knew very well that a forced melon would not be sweet, just like herself, Kaido and the navy. It all depended on Xia Ji's choice.

Back to the beach, Lily used Den Den Mushi to contact the ship. After receiving Lily's order, the first mate immediately commanded the crew to return to the town. After Lily's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The townspeople had brought it upon themselves. It would have been a good thing that they did not attack indiscriminately. After all, this was the New World. There were all kinds of dangers on various islands, and even the World Government had to retreat from many places.

Lily refused the crew's suggestion to go up and rest, and just stood on the shore looking at the mountain, waiting and waiting.

Time slowly came to noon, afternoon, and the sun was setting. Looking at the sun gradually sinking below the sea level, Lily sighed. It seemed that Zi Zi failed to convince this little guy.

Just as Lily was about to turn around and get on the boat, a voice sounded behind her.

"Wait a minute! Sister Lily, wait for me!" The clear female voice represented the identity of its owner, Spike Shaggy was here.

Lily turned around and saw Xia Ji carrying a bag on her back and running towards the boat with her short legs (very short legs for Lily), followed by a black swarm of scorpions.

"Sorry, Sister Lily, I'm late." Xia Ji ran to Lily with a flushed face and panting heavily.

"It's okay, it's not sunset yet." Lily wiped the sweat from Xia Ji's forehead and tidied up her hair.

{I'm sorry, ma'am. Xia Ji insisted on saying goodbye to every member. I couldn't persuade her. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.} Zi Zi jumped out from the scorpion group behind Xia Ji.

"We agreed to meet before sunset. Since you're here, you're not late." Lily said and looked at Xia Ji again, "Have you decided?"

"Yes! Zi Zi is right. If you don't want to be bullied, you must have strength. I hope to have the power to protect Zi Zi and the others. Besides, I want to go out to sea and see more scenery." Xia Ji, who had successfully breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight and said.

Recalling the morning, after Zi Zi finished talking with Lily, she returned to the big pit to find Xia Ji. At that time, the other scorpions had woken up one after another. Lily did not use too strong domineering color, so the impact was not great.

When Xia Ji saw a scorpion coming back, Zi Zi looked around curiously for Lily. Seeing Xia Ji like this, Zi Zi became more confident in convincing Xia Ji.

Gathering all the poisonous scorpions again, Zi Zi stood on Xia Ji's head and announced this. The scorpions followed Zi Zi's lead and naturally would not refuse, but Xia Ji refused sternly. She thought Zi Zi was driving her away. But when Zi Zi said that this was for Xia Ji to learn skills, and that she could not always be protected by the scorpions, and that she had to learn to protect herself, and explained the benefits of doing so to Xia Ji with emotion and reason, Xia Ji agreed. After that, Xia Ji began to say goodbye to each poisonous scorpion who could express their emotions, one after another, which made Zi Zi worried. What if they couldn't wait to leave? People who can have the gift of nature are too rare. Letting Xia Ji follow such a person can ensure Xia Ji's safety, but if she misses this time, even if someone comes later, she can't guarantee whether it is a good person. At that time, she won't dare to push Xia Ji out, not to mention that this person has the aura of a king (domineering domineering).

Although Zi Zi kept urging her, Xia Ji still insisted on saying goodbye to every poisonous scorpion. In her heart, these poisonous scorpions were her relatives, and she would apologize to Sister Lily later.

The sun had already set after they finally said goodbye to the last poisonous scorpion. Zi Zi and several other senior poisonous scorpions had already prepared luggage for Xia Ji. There was nothing else in it, just a few pieces of Xia Ji's clothes and a stuffed toy of Xia Ji, which were left to her by her deceased parents. In this way, Xia Ji arrived at the port under the escort of a group of poisonous scorpions.

"Hahaha, then you have to work hard." Lily said, touching Xia Ji's head.

"I will definitely work hard! Zi Zi said that if I am not strong enough, she will not let me come back to see them." Xia Ji answered loudly and then muttered a few words in a low voice.

{Yes, Ms. Lily, please keep an eye on her, thank you.} Zi Zi and the scorpions behind her made a gesture of thanks.

"You can rest assured about this. I won't let her go out to sea if she is not strong enough. If she doesn't go out to sea, she won't be able to come back. But I can agree that she will come back at least once a year." Lily said to Zizi.

{That's great.} Zi Zi agreed, then turned to Xia Ji and pointed at the boat, {You should leave now.}
After saying that, Zi Zi left with the group of scorpions without looking back.

Xia Ji looked at Zi Zi and the other scorpion who were leaving. The sadness of parting that she had not felt just now surged into her heart. Tears slowly welled up in Xia Ji's eyes. Xia Ji made a trumpet with her hands and shouted in the direction where Zi Zi left:

"Zi Zi! Everyone! I will definitely study hard and come back to tell you the stories I saw!"

Zi Zi, who was far away, trembled when she heard Xia Ji's words, but she still did not look back and left resolutely.

"Okay, let's get on the boat." Lily patted Xia Ji's head and wiped away the tears from the corners of Xia Ji's eyes with her index finger.

"Sister Lily, I will study hard!" Xia Ji made up her mind, as if she was talking to Lily or to herself.

"Okay, if you work hard enough, I can consider teaching you in person, but now, get on the boat." Lily smiled, then grabbed Xia Ji by the back of her neck, lifted her up, and threw her onto the boat.

Then, Lily jumped directly onto the deck.

"Young ones!"

"Oh!"
"Return!"

"Yes!"XN
"Yes!" Xia Ji, who had just been thrown onto the boat, rubbed her butt and shouted a beat late.

“Hahahahahahahahaha” XN
