After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 368 Thrilling
After entrusting the children to Shen Yi's care, Su Tai ran back to her room and entered the portal. She first checked the screen, which showed that the Water Space-Time had been upgraded to the highest level.

Su Tai's eyes widened instantly, and as she continued looking down, she couldn't help but gasp. "My God! There's an ocean! Am I seeing things?!"

She rubbed her eyes repeatedly to make sure that what she was seeing was the sea. She then took a deep breath and went to the vending machine for fishing tools to check out the fishing equipment.

She couldn't afford to buy a fishing boat, and she didn't know how to use it, but this thing could be rented. What surprised her even more was that there were top-of-the-line sea fishing boats here, which were fully automated, monitored the movement of marine life, and had precise positioning. She only needed to set up the fishing nets, traps, and other tools in advance, and the sea fishing boat could automatically catch fish.

She didn't even have to put in the slightest effort; it was practically tailor-made for her!
Su Tai, secretly delighted, took small, quick steps and glanced at the price.
Her smile vanished from her face.

She can't afford to buy it, but she can rent it. A rental is for three days and costs 10,000 virtual coins, but the seafood caught doesn't require any extra payment.

In other words, she has to pay 100,000 virtual coins per operation in that sea area, regardless of the outcome.

If she doesn't stay inside a little longer, she'll definitely be at a disadvantage. But the problem is she can't take a bunch of seafood out; there's no sea here, and if she does take seafood, there's no way to explain it.

Su Tai first took a look at the underwater space-time.

The vast and magnificent seascape deeply shocked her. This was the sea, a sea fraught with danger. If she wanted to get what she wanted from it, she had to rely on tools. She had to rent a fully automated fishing boat. How could she minimize her losses?

She left the portal with a worried expression and pulled Shen Yi back to the room to discuss it.

"Shen Yi, do you know where the sea is?" Su Tai looked at him pitifully.

Shen Yi looked surprised. "How do you know about the sea?"

"Ok?"

Seeing Su Tai's curiosity, Shen Yi slowly explained, "We don't have a sea here, but there is a sea to the north of the ice field, even closer than the wasteland. I heard there is a small country there called Qiongzi, which is a vassal state of Langya Kingdom."

"Is it far there?"

"It's not that far! It would take about three or four days to get there from your uncle's house, and eight or nine days from here. A round trip would take no more than twenty days. What, do you want to see the sea?"

Su Tai shook her head vigorously, continuing to ask like a curious child, "Since they live by the sea, do they all make a living by fishing?"

"Probably! I'm not sure either. You should ask your uncle, he should know more. Or ask Master Pu or Master Ma, they've been in business for many years and have a lot of experience. If you really want to know, I'll go to Dahe Town tomorrow and ask for you."

Su Tai was overjoyed and hugged Shen Yi tightly, pouting, "My husband still cares about me the most!"

Shen Yi reacted immediately to her hug and quickly pushed Su Tai down, saying, "Shouldn't my wife reward me?"

The two spent an hour fussing in the bedroom before finally leaving.

The next morning, Shen Yi went out feeling refreshed and invited Master Pu for tea at the town magistrate's office.

When Mr. Pu arrived, he almost had a huge question mark on his face.

Shen Yi greeted them warmly, serving tea and snacks.

The two of them sat there for most of the day.

It was almost noon when Master Pu finally left.

Shen Yi quickly finished dealing with the matter and rushed home as soon as it was dusk.

As soon as he entered the village, he heard a series of exclamations. Looking into the distance, he saw a familiar horse-drawn carriage galloping toward him.

Shen Congyu, clinging desperately to the reins, was half-hanging from the horse, on the verge of falling. Shen Yue'an and Shen Xi clung to the carriage door, screaming for help. Shen Yi, pale with fright, rushed towards them without a word. Just as the carriage was about to reach them, he climbed a nearby tree, used the momentum to jump onto the carriage, and pulled the nearly collapsing Shen Congyu up. With his other hand, he held the reins, constantly adjusting the horse's speed.

The horse ran for almost half an hour before slowly coming to a stop.

When the horse finally came to a complete stop, Shen Yi looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens! We've arrived at Dongmen Village!"

Now we can use it again.

He drove the carriage to the Su family's house.

The rich aroma of roasted lamb instantly soothed the three children's fear.

Shen Congyu shouted towards the courtyard, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt, I'm here!"

They all came out in response, and were overjoyed to see Shen Yi and the three children.

"What brings you all here, not during any festival or holiday!" Madam Han happily stepped forward and carried the children down from the carriage one by one.

"Northwest wind!" Shen Yi glared at Shen Congyu in annoyance, tied the reins, strode into the yard, took a rattan cane from the woodshed, and lashed Shen Congyu hard before he could react.

Shen Congyu burst into tears.

Mrs. Han was terrified. "Oh dear! They're fighting! Father, come quick! Your son-in-law is hitting your grandson! Come quick!"

At this outburst, Su Chunlin abandoned even the roasted whole lamb, rushed into the yard, and without a word, shielded the three children behind him. "Shen Yi! You've really grown bold! You're even hitting your father-in-law's house when you're beating the children! If you don't give me an explanation today, I... I won't let you leave!"

Shen Yi pointed at the three unruly children with a stern face, "They stole the family's carriage and caused the horse to run away in fright. If I hadn't happened to be returning to the village and saw them, who knows what would have happened to them! And you're still protecting them!"

Su Chunlin and Madam Han were both startled. Shocked, they turned around and squatted down, grabbing Shen Congyu's shoulders with both hands. "Child, why did you go and provoke Ma?"

Shen Congyu cried pitifully, sobbing as he explained, "We wanted to see... to see if a horse or a donkey could run faster, but Mother wouldn't let us, so we got into the carriage ourselves."

Shen Congyu's voice grew softer and softer.

Shen Yue'an and Shen Xi huddled together, afraid to cry, but they knew they had caused trouble and dared not make a sound.

Seeing how pitiful the children were, Su Chunlin couldn't bring herself to be angry. She forced herself to defend them, saying, "Shen Yi, look how terrified they are. I believe they didn't do it on purpose. I'll definitely talk to them properly later. Please don't hit them. Look, it's getting dark. What if you hurt them?"

"Huh? Uncle, cousins, what brings you here so late at night?" Su Fengnian ran out and asked loudly, completely out of the ordinary.

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken; once he did, Shen Yi's face darkened even more.

After sitting down, Shen Yi told him that the horse ran all the way to the outside of Dongmen Village before stopping. He was also filled with lingering fear and talked to the three children for a long time.

Shen Yi drank a bowl of hot tea, calmed himself down, and sternly shouted at the three children, "Go back!"

"Grandmother, Grandmother!" Shen Yue'an clung tightly to Han's clothes, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Madam Han was heartbroken and said weakly, "How about we let the three children stay with me tonight? It's getting dark, and it's not suitable for them to travel. You go back first and let Xiaotai know you're safe. I'll have A-Ming take them back tomorrow."

The three children's eyes lit up.

Su Chunlin also chimed in, and Su Ming and Shen Xiang spoke up for the children.

Shen Yi was practically driven away by his father-in-law's family.
