Langyue (II)

"Ah... h-how did you end up following me here?" On his ship, Fanxin had been planning to return to his room, lie down and get a good night's sleep.

Life at sea was too boring; he found it dull. But when he entered his room and pulled back the covers, ready to lie down, he discovered a little wolf sleeping under them, looking utterly relaxed.

Fanxin took a closer look and realized it was the same little wolf that had guided them on the island.

Fanxin couldn't understand why the wolf had followed them. He had already helped the wolves by taking away that scourge, the Tower of Vicious Wolves, so they should have been fine!

"I want to go on adventures, take on challenges and become a formidable wolf. I can't fulfill my dream if I stay there, so I quietly came aboard," the little wolf said calmly. "Don't even think about taking me back. You can't do it. If you take me back, I'll follow you again in no time."

"Why follow me? Can't you go on your own?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I can't manage on my own. There are too many little things I can't do. For example, I can't sail a ship or cook, and I... there are so many other things I can't do. If I follow you, I won't have to worry about those little things," the wolf said with a smile. "Of course, the main thing is that I like the look of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you."

"Tch, let me tell you, I might run into all kinds of dangers on this journey. I might even lose my life. If you don't want to die, you'd better go back. With your abilities, getting back shouldn't be a problem at all. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets, because there's no medicine for regret in this world," Fanxin said.

The little wolf could turn everything around him into wolves. He could easily turn the seawater into wolves and ride a water wolf, so if he wanted to go back, he would have no trouble at all.

"Hehe, all the better. The more dangerous a place is, the more I like it." The little wolf, Langyue, smiled and said, "I hear the navy is really strong. If you've got the guts, go attack the navy. I'd like that even more."

"Attack the navy? That's courting death! The navy is the strongest force on the seas. If I attack them, I'll be kicking a hornet's nest. I have other things to do, and I don't want to go looking for death." Fanxin immediately shook his head as he spoke.

He had no desire to attack the navy. Once he did, he would become an internationally wanted criminal, and the navy would track him down and hunt him wherever he went. He didn't want to become a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.

"Exactly, so you don't need to worry about me. I'm not afraid of dangerous places. The more dangerous they are, the more I want to go. That way, I can fight with everything I've got, and my potential will be unleashed too," the little wolf said with a smile.

"Tch, so you're a battle maniac. Do as you like!" Fanxin said. "You can follow me, but there's one rule you have to obey. Otherwise, I'll throw you off the ship. Understand?"

"What is it?" the little wolf asked curiously.

"I generally don't go out of my way to provoke others. Of course, unless they're truly vile, bullying men and abusing women, acting self-important and treating other people's lives like a game. In that case, I might take the initiative to act. Otherwise, I won't strike without good reason. So you have to follow the rules and not cause me trouble, understand? Don't go attacking people before I make a move. If you make it so I can't live in peace, I won't go easy on you," Fanxin said gravely.

He hadn't gone to sea this time to pick fights. He had set out to find his parents, who had been gone for many years. So, where a fight could be avoided, he would do his best to avoid it. But if it truly couldn't be avoided, he absolutely wouldn't shy away from it. Even if he offended a major power, he would strike with everything he had.

"Can you do that? If not, then leave. There's still time to go back now." After saying that, Fanxin looked at Langyue and asked.

"I can. Don't worry, I'm not a battle maniac either. I won't attack everyone I see," Langyue said. "I don't have that much energy to fight people."

"Good." Fanxin nodded and said no more. He walked over to the bed, sat down, then lay down beside the little wolf and began sleeping soundly, paying the wolf no mind.

This guy is way too bold. He barely knows me, yet he just lies down and sleeps right next to me. Isn't he afraid I'll sneak attack him? Langyue glanced at Fanxin, at a loss for words.

Although he and Fanxin had spent some time together, they had no particular fondness for each other.

Yet Fanxin didn't care at all. He simply slept soundly beside him without the slightest guard up. Langyue couldn't have done the same.

After thinking about it for a while and failing to make sense of it, he couldn't be bothered anymore. He shifted position and went to sleep too.

The room fell quiet.

At the bow, Ren Fang and Little Black sat eating snacks and drinking beverages, looking utterly relaxed.

The ship was moving very slowly because they weren't using the propulsion system. Instead, they were using a sail, letting the wind push against it to drive the ship forward. They did this because the propulsion system needed energy.

The ship's propulsion system ran on solar power and electricity. Electricity was somewhat difficult to obtain, but solar power was no trouble at all, since all it needed was sunlight. When the sun shone on the ship, it would slowly absorb solar energy and convert it into the kinetic energy needed by the propulsion system.

Little Black had thought things through thoroughly when he designed it: if there was no power, they could use the sail; if there was plenty, they could use the propulsion system.

"Little Black, do you have a dream?" Ren Fang asked, looking at Little Black Cat after taking a sip of cola.

Little Black Cat immediately put down his fork, looked at Ren Fang and said, "Of course I do! I may be a cat, but I'm no longer ordinary. Since I'm not ordinary anymore, I have to do extraordinary things. Hehe, I have a really big dream."

"Oh, what is it? Can you tell me?" Ren Fang asked curiously. A cat's dream was a very unusual thing, and she was extremely curious.

"Mm, of course. I'm going to build a super-powerful warship, and I want to be its captain. I'll make sure everyone knows the illustrious name of Captain Black Cat!" Little Black Cat said proudly, holding his head high.
