A Fine Day to Set Sail!

The next day, the sun shone brightly and the sky was cloudless; it was a perfect day to set sail.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Huan and his group arrived at the port of Falling Shore City.

Gazing at the vast, deep blue sea where the water and sky meet, Zhou Huan suddenly recalled Cao Xueqin's poem "Viewing the Blue Sea"—"I stand on the eastern cliffs of Jieshi to the Viewing the Blue Sea. How calm and boundless the waters are! How lofty and majestic the mountains and islands are..."

The saying, "The Sun Moon and moon seem to rise from within it; the starry sky seems to emanate from within it," perfectly illustrates this.

Only those who have witnessed the vastness of the ocean can truly appreciate this sense of boundless space.

Zhou Huan is not a poet, nor does he possess such high literary talent; all he can do is sigh—

Wow--what a huge sea!

Okay, that little girl Xiao Xiao has already shouted it out for him.

Then, Zhou Huan waved his hand, and Soul Guiding Ship nearly sixty meters long and about nine meters wide appeared on the sea.

The sound of the waves, "whoosh whoosh," echoed far and wide.

Zhou Huan turned around, looked at everyone, and shouted, "Let's go! From today onwards, we will brave the winds and waves, hoist our sails, and cross the vast ocean!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao and the others also showed excitement in their eyes, and leaped up to board the Soul Guiding Ship!

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the two powerful figures, Wang Tizhou and Ling Suzhen, the Soul Guiding Ship slowly sailed eastward into the distance...

On the deck of the Soul Guiding Ship, Zhou Huan and the other six people went to the bow, feeling the vastness of the sea and the cool sea breeze, which was a truly refreshing and enjoyable experience.

Suddenly, a retching sound rang out!

The six people who were enjoying the gentle sea breeze with their eyes closed suddenly opened them and looked in the direction of the vomiting sound—a tiny little girl was perched on the mast, "feeding" the fish into the sea...

They look so pitiful.

Wang Qingya immediately went over, gently patted the little girl's back, and asked with a worried expression, "Little pet, are you alright? You... you're not seasick, are you?"

"Hoo--"

After another bout of attacks, the little girl looked at Wang Qingya with a pale face. "Baozi, I think it's because I ate too much this morning. How could I, a dignified Soul Emperor, possibly faint—uh—"

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Huan shook his head, both speechless and amused. He then took out the specially prepared seasickness medicine, since apart from him and Wang Qingya, probably no one else had ever been on a boat before. So, just in case, he had made preparations in advance.

After arriving at Xiao Xiao's side, Zhou Huan said, "Here, take some seasickness medicine, it will make you feel much better. If it really doesn't work, I also have a space device, you can go inside and stay there."

The so-called space device is actually the Floating Pagoda, but Zhou Huan was too lazy to explain, so he just introduced it to the outside world as a rather special space-type Soul Tool.

However, after taking a seasickness pill, Xiao Xiao hadn't even recovered one percent of her remaining health. Despite her pale face, a resolute expression appeared. "No! We've gone on a long sea voyage, how can we stay in a spaceship? It'd be embarrassing if word got out."

Zhou Huan: "... Whatever you say. Qingya, take good care of Xiao Xiao."

Wang Qingya nodded, then took out a bottle of water and wiped the little girl's face with a tissue, comforting her, "Little pet, it's okay, it's just seasickness. I've heard people who get seasick before say that you get used to it after a while."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, and her expression improved slightly. "Really?"

Wang Qingya replied earnestly, "Really, I vouch for it with Master Zhou's character."

Master Zhou, standing to the side. "..."

Zhou Huan shook her head helplessly, then quickly pulled out seven long beach chairs and placed them on the deck, saying, "Those who are tired of standing can lie down."

Nan Qiuqiu immediately sat down on a beach chair and said, "Zhou Huan, your service is too attentive. However, I have a small question: since we're all here, doesn't the Soul Guiding Ship need to be piloted?"

Zhou Huan: "..." That's a good question, but we've been at sea for over half an hour already. Isn't it a tiny bit too late?

However, Zhou Huan explained, "We have to thank Master Xuan Ziwen for this. Although we can't achieve precise automatic navigation, we can still maintain a fixed direction. We just need to make minor adjustments to the course at each point according to the nautical chart. As for energy, we have enough milk bottles, so there's no need to worry."

After listening, Nan Qiuqiu seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand, but still replied, "Oh, I see."

Then, Nan Qiuqiu looked at Ye Guyi lying beside her and said, "Sister Ye, you're also Soul Engineer, could you build a ship like this?"

Then she received a glare from Ye Guyi: "Qiuqiu, you're also Soul Master, can you cultivate to Soul Emperor before you turn twenty?"

Nan Qiuqiu: "..."

Putting aside the "mutual harm" between Nan Qiuqiu and Ye Guyi, these half-sisters from different fathers and mothers, Zhou Huan then pulled Zhang Lexuan to the very front of the boat.

Zhang Lexuan stood in front, while Zhou Huan hugged her waist from behind, saying, "Sister Lexuan, open your arms wide, it feels like embracing the sea."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was speechless, but for the sake of her boyfriend, whose brain was prone to making mistakes, she did as she was told.

But this posture... well, it's not exactly awkward, but it doesn't feel particularly special either. What's the point?

Then she heard Zhou Huan whisper in her ear, "I've wanted to experience this world-famous scene for a long time, but unfortunately I've always been single and never had the chance."

Although Zhang Lexuan didn't fully understand, she roughly grasped what Zhou Huan was talking about—basically, hugging his girlfriend and enjoying the sea breeze. So she smiled gently and asked, "How do you feel now?"

But the next moment, Zhou Huan shook her head. "It's not as romantic as I imagined."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her hand, turned around, and looked at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression. "Romantic?"

Zhou Huan pulled her into his arms and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean being with you isn't romantic; it's just that what we just did has been considered the most romantic moment for couples for a long time. Unfortunately, I didn't feel it just now, or rather, it wasn't as romantic as I imagined."

After hearing this, Zhang Lexuan finally understood what Zhou Huan meant.

Suddenly, Zhang Lexuan raised her head and gently kissed Zhou Huan, smiling sweetly, "Isn't that romantic?"

Zhou Huan was immediately stunned.

Is it romantic?

Have no idea.

But his heart was beating so fast!

The speed must have reached 130 per minute.

This was the first time Zhang Lexuan had kissed him in broad daylight, in front of several people.

At this point, Zhang Lexuan continued, "Other people's romance is theirs; how can we understand their romance? We just need to have our own."

Yes, why must we copy someone else's romance?

Besides, romance and love are things that cannot be replicated.

Zhou Huan, on the other hand, has his own unique romance and his own special Sister Lexuan.

That's good.

So Zhou Huan gently kissed Zhang Lexuan again and said, "My wife is so smart."

The other onlookers on deck. "..."

They all felt they shouldn't be on the ship, but rather on the hull.

Especially little Xiao Xiao, who was already weak, felt nauseous again.

However, the two, engrossed in their sweet moment, were oblivious to all of this.

Zhang Lexuan suddenly asked, "The world-famous scene you just mentioned, I've never heard of it before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan jokingly replied, "Because that was a famous scene I witnessed in my past life. Especially since that couple created that famous scene, and shortly afterward, their ship hit an iceberg and sank."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Are you sure this is romance, or not the Final Destination you mentioned?"

"How..."

However, before Zhou Huan could utter the word "will," a dense array of shark dorsal fins suddenly appeared two kilometers ahead of the ship.

Judging from a distance, there must be at least a thousand of them.
