Bai Paopao Learned to Play Mahjong

Ultimately, since everyone agreed to escort Bai Paopao home, Zhou Huan changed the direction of the Soul Guiding Ship.

It wasn't completely opposite to the original flight path, but rather deviated by about thirty degrees.

However, when sailing on the high seas, even a small mistake can lead to a huge error.

Let alone deviating by thirty degrees, even deviating by one degree, or going too far, makes a world of difference.

Fortunately, according to Bai Paopao, their current location is not far from Demon Shark Island, which is Bai Paopao's home.

Based on the speed of the Soul Guiding Ship, it will take about seven or eight days to reach the destination.

Actually, there's an even faster way: let Bai Paopao transform into the Demon Soul Great White Shark, have everyone stand on her back, and let her carry them along, or let her pull the Soul Guiding Ship forward.

However, regardless of the method used, everyone felt it was like employing child labor, so after thinking about it, they gave up.

No one could bear to let such a short girl, only 1.2 meters tall, do manual labor. Although she had lived for tens of thousands of years, she was just a child when she took human form.

Of course, another reason is that Zhou Huan is not in a hurry for this trip to Dragon Valley. He originally wanted to avoid the turmoil on the Douluo Continent, so it wouldn't hurt to stay at sea for a while.

And so, Zhou Huan and his group, along with Bai Paopao, set off for Demon Shark Island.

The journey was uneventful; the Evil Spirit Orca did not pursue them, whether out of fear of Zhang Lexuan's formidable strength or for some other reason was unknown.

As for encountering other ordinary Sea Soul Beast, neither Zhang Lexuan nor Zhou Huan dared to approach them if they merely released a trace of their Super Douluo Sea Soul Beast.

Even the mere presence of Bai Paopao could scare away a large number of ordinary Sea Soul Beast.

Don't underestimate this little girl just because she's small. She's a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast and a member of the powerful Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan. Her strength is not to be underestimated.

That is, before, she was chased by hundreds of Evil Spirit Orca, which is why she ended up in such a sorry state.

Furthermore, after witnessing Zhang Lexuan's strength, she became docile and pitiful, appearing very weak.

After spending a few days on the Soul Guiding Ship, Bai Paopao gradually integrated into the group.

The main reason is that she's just too cute. Apart from Zhou Huan and Wen Xiaoshuai, everyone on the ship is a girl, and how could they resist such a cute little thing as Bai Paopao all the time?

Even the little girl Xiao Xiao felt that she had fallen out of favor.

However, Xiao Xiao wasn't unhappy, because she finally got to experience what it's like to be an adult.

It was at this moment that Bai Paopao slowly realized that not all of these seven humans were as powerful as Sister Zhang, and in fact, most of them were not as strong as her.

Of course, she also learned that the strongest person on the ship was not Sister Zhang, but the captain named Zhou Huan.

That's right, Zhou Huan has already promoted himself to captain.

After all, it truly lives up to its name.

It's a rare opportunity to go on a long voyage, with a ship and people; wouldn't it be a waste not to give myself the title of captain?

Of course, Bai Paopao, this little Little White Shark, couldn't possibly understand these things.

The only thing she understood was that she dared not get too close to Captain Zhou.

It wasn't because Zhou Huan treated her badly, nor because Zhou Huan gave her a cold shoulder; on the contrary, Zhou Huan seemed quite friendly.

But Bai Paopao intentionally or unintentionally kept her distance from Zhou Huan; this could be considered a kind of instinct of Soul Beast.

When faced with a powerful stranger whose strength far surpasses their own, both humans and Soul Beast feel fear.

Therefore, Bai Paopao mostly played with Xiao Xiao, mainly because she felt that Xiao Xiao was a child of the same level as her.

Besides Xiao Xiao, the person who has the most contact with Bai Paopao is Nan Qiuqiu. This silly girl has absolutely no resistance to cute things. If Bai Paopao's true form wasn't Demon Soul Great White Shark, she would have liked to take it home and keep it as a pet.

However, besides Zhou Huan, the person Bai Paopao least wanted to get close to was Nan Qiuqiu. The reason was simple: this silly girl always liked to pinch Bai Paopao's pink and white cheeks.

The pinch was very light, so it probably wouldn't hurt, but it was still super annoying, at least that's what Bai Paopao thought.

Unfortunately, when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

Bai Paopao has already captured everyone's hearts with her cuteness, so she has to endure Nan Qiuqiu's clutches every day.

It can be considered a test for her young mind.

Although she was not young, Bai Paopao still had the mindset and thinking of a child. During her time on the Soul Guiding Ship, she truly experienced what it meant to "live a hard life" where "it's not easy to leave home, and you have to rely on being cute to survive."

Although life on the boat made Bai Paopao realize how difficult life is for sharks, she was ultimately relaxed, at least for the time being, she didn't have to worry about safety.

Besides, this group of people not only saved her life from the horde of Evil Spirit Orca, but they're also acting as her protectors, escorting her home. Even if it's just to repay their kindness, what's wrong with temporarily playing the role of a cute little creature?

Every time Bai Paopao thought about it this way, she felt that acting cute wasn't shameful at all.

This must be the price of growing up away from home, Bai Paopao thought to herself.

Thus, amidst this contradictory and complex mix of exhaustion, cuteness, and constant self-comfort, seven days quickly passed for Bai Paopao on the Soul Guiding Ship.

Night fell, and the sea was silent once more.

Apart from the occasional gentle sea breeze and the sound of the waves, there was nothing else.

That night, Zhou Huan and his friends got into a good mood and sat on the deck of the Soul Guiding Ship. They even set up two separate tables and started playing mahjong!

"Eighty thousand!"

"Bump!"

"Two of Bamboo"

"Bang!"

"Little pet, why are you arguing with me again!"

"Hehe, Baozi, what can I do? You're my best friend... Wow, a winning hand on a kong, a self-draw, a pure suit! Hurry up and put the sticker on! Put the sticker on!"

"... Little pet, you're toxic! You called for a 'two of bamboo' tile, then called for a 'one of bamboo' tile, leaving only one of those tiles left!"

"I'm lucky."

"Sister Xiao Xiao, I'm out of stickers on my face, can I stop?" Bai Paopao said coquettishly, but with her face covered in paper strips, she couldn't show her cuteness at all.

"That won't do. Playing mahjong without stickers is like cooking without salt!" Xiao Xiao immediately replied, "Well, there's no room on your face, so we'll stick them on the back of your head."

So, Bai Paopao's first attempt at being cute failed, and she had no choice but to obediently stick on several more notes.

Meanwhile, at another table, Zhou Huan, Zhang Lexuan, Nan Qiuqiu, and Ye Guyi were also having a great time.

Actually, Zhou Huan only taught them how to play mahjong a few days ago; it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The main problem was that living at sea for over a month had become quite monotonous.

I've watched sunrises and sunsets, waxing and waning Full Moon for over thirty days now, and the novelty has worn off.

Just then, a Bai Paopao appeared on the boat, bringing the total number of people to eight. This gave Zhou Huan a sudden inspiration, and he thought of mahjong, a recreational activity that is beneficial to physical and mental health and can help prevent Alzheimer's disease.

It's really not Zhou Huan's fault for not thinking of such an event before. He's been in the Douluo Continent for nineteen years and has long been accustomed to the life of Soul Master here. He's either leveling up or on his way to leveling up, so he's completely oblivious to the entertainment activities of his previous life.

It was precisely because of this current number of "eight people" that Zhou Huan suddenly realized that it was just enough for "two mahjong tables"!

Thus, Mahjong, a leisure activity that has been passed down through the ages, was born on the sea of Douluo Star.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this very moment, on a lonely Soul Guiding Ship in the vast, boundless sea, the beautiful sounds of "Pong," "Kong," and "Hu" could be heard from time to time.

As dawn broke, while everyone else was still resting at the mahjong table, Bai Paopao suddenly shouted excitedly, "We're here! We're here! My house is just ahead! Sister Xiao Xiao, Sister Zhang, Sister Yaya, everyone wake up! We're almost at Demon Shark Island!"
