I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"Yes. The road ahead is long, keep going, young man."

Bai Zhou raised his hand and patted Pei Yu's shoulder, gently comforting him.

This kid is good, but unfortunately, this method of quietly making sacrifices is hardly effective when dealing with a troublesome child like Bai Zhi. He needs to take the initiative.

"Hey, this...this one..."

Bai Zhi looked at the painter, unsure of what to say.

She can call her aunt without a problem, but what about Pei Yu?

"Lady of the Dragon King"? That doesn't sound very nice.

"Just call me the Umbrella-Boiling Hermit."

The artist was prepared for this.

In the world of martial arts, one cannot be considered a mature martial artist without having several alternate accounts.

"The hermit who boils umbrellas... Pei Yu greets the hermit."

Pei Yu didn't think much of it and simply bowed respectfully to the painter.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's set off."

"Here!"

Bai Zhi and the other two naturally had no objections.

Xi didn't care about any of that; she was just going there for fun.

Aresa was still somewhat reluctant to leave. Although the place didn't have automatic flush toilets, the food was incredibly delicious, and she had quite a few snacks and dishes she wanted to try. Moreover, the past few days of rest had been truly relaxing; if she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would transform from a deep-sea hunter into a shallow-water slacker.

However, when faced with the temptation to go home, this small emotion was instantly shattered by the tide of returning home.

Delicious food is precious, but rest is even more valuable; however, for the sake of one's hometown, both can be sacrificed.

"Uncle Zhou, shall we take a boat?"

Bai Zhi looked towards the daytime.

She had never been on a large ship or seen the legendary sea before. She never expected that this business trip would fulfill both of her wishes, and it was even on company pay, so she didn't have to pay out of her own pocket. How wonderful!

"We will go by boat, but not a boat on the water."

It takes most of the day to get by boat from here to the estuary, and by then it will be almost dark. How can we deal with those things then?

"We'll take a spaceship there."

Under the curious gaze of the three, Bai Zhou raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

White clouds like silk, gentle breeze like brocade.

In less than ten breaths, a ship formed from white clouds appeared above the town.

"Wow! That's amazing! No wonder you're Uncle Zhou."

The girl, astonished by such a miraculous skill, clapped her hands in praise, but then she asked a new question.

"But how do we get up there?"

This cloud ship is nearly 100 meters above the ground; no one could jump up to that height.

“That’s how we went up.”

Before the girl could even react, Bai Zhou had barely finished speaking when she realized that the back of her neck was being grabbed.

"Wait, wait, Uncle Zhou, isn't it safer here... Aaaaaaah!"

The girl transformed into a ray of light.

"what……"

Pei Yu swallowed hard. Suddenly, he felt a lightness in his body, and then his vision began to spin.

Pei Yu also turned into light.

"..."

The remaining two kept their eyes fixed on the daytime.

The artist's eyes were full of disdain.

Aresa, on the other hand, showed a happy expression.

She had long wondered what it felt like to fly. But the best she had ever done was a brief leap over the sea, which was far from the feeling of flying.

"Then, please, guest."

During the day, he would naturally not be so rude to his husband.

Thus, Aresa became the third passenger to take the flight.

This time, Bai Zhou used a little more force to throw Alessa into the air, and as a result, more than a dozen of the blue bricks under his feet broke.

There was no way around it; the baby whale was just too heavy once it was on land.

"Sir, let's go too."

After seeing Alessa off, Bai Zhou looked at the painter.

He gently held her in his arms, and in the daytime, a cloud appeared, carrying them leisurely up to the sky.

"Ahhhh!"

Little tiger Bai Zhi took the lead, breaking through the deck of the cloud ship first, and then fell into the cloud pile with a thud.

The clouds may seem like drifting clouds, but once you land on them, you'll find they can actually carry things and people.

"Oh, oh, I'm not dead..."

Climbing out of the clouds, the girl looked around at the white clouds and then at her feet.

"Oh, so this is heaven!"

Stepping on the white cloud deck felt like floating. The little tiger wobbled to the edge of the deck and cautiously poked its head out.

Then, she collapsed, both surprised and delighted.

She only realized she was vertigo after they took off.

"Boss! Boss! Don't faint! I'm scared! Boss!"

Pei Yu, the second one to land on the cloud ship, clung to the mast that had turned into a cloud and screamed in terror.

Are you kidding me? It was just thrown up like that, like a fireball thrown by warlocks, it just flew up there.

If he hadn't been quick enough to grab the pole, he might have fallen.

"Bam—!"

A heavy object fell down, splashing up a large cloud of white fluff.

"..."

Aresa sat on the spot where the sword had fallen, staring blankly at the hat that had landed in front of her.

"Is it fun?"

The sound of daylight rang out behind them, and the little whale jumped up with a splash, its voice filled with indescribable joy.

"Fun!"

"Tsk."

The artist turned his head from Bai Zhou's embrace, glanced at Alessa, the least sociable of the three who flew up, and then turned his head away again.

Bai Zhou held the painter as they sat down, then urged the sails on, and the cloud boat slowly sailed away from the anchored sky harbor, heading towards its distant destination.

What lies on the other side of the Seventy-One Seas?

"Boss! You're finally awake!"

As soon as the little tiger woke up, she saw Pei Yu squatting nervously beside her.

Where is Uncle Zhou?

She sat up abruptly and looked around anxiously.

"The Dragon King is here... uh..."

Before Pei Yu could finish speaking, Bai Zhi had already seen it.

"what……"

All the words that were rising in his heart were swallowed back down, and the little tiger lay back down.

"Honestly, I came here to work, and I could have gone back after I finished writing the report. Why did I have to be so eager for achievement and come along?"

"If I hadn't come, I would already be slurping noodles at the biggest noodle shop in Fuyu Town. Why would I be here watching them being all lovey-dovey?"

Looking up slightly, the girl watched the two people not far away, one painting and the other grinding ink, the other saying she was cold and the other putting on a coat. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes as she complained.

"Oh, right. Where are we now?"

Putting aside her thoughts of shipping the couple for the moment, the girl sat up and asked Pei Yu.

"I don't know about the future."

"Hmm...that makes sense, since it's flying in the sky, we don't know what territory it's passing through."

She looked up at the sky; the sun was still shining, and the daylight had not yet dimmed.

"What time is it now?"

Could it be that it's already past noon?

She was a little hungry.

"Uh... I don't know... Wait, wait, don't hit me, boss, I remember now!"

Seeing that the girl's fist was already raised, Pei Yu's survival instinct, which was about to leap out, made him quickly change his words.

"Based on the sun's position, it is probably around 9 AM now."

"9:00 AM..."
