Shui Ya's efficiency was remarkable; by the time Qian Yufeng and his two companions finished lunch, she had already secured the necessary vessel.
Walking into the room where Qian Yufeng was staying, Shui Ya said, "President, the ship has been arranged. We can depart at any time."
"You've worked hard. We will rest for thirty minutes, then set sail." Qian Yufeng was very satisfied with Shui Ya's performance.
Compared to her father, she was not only outstanding in cultivation but also possessed exceptional management skills.
Beyond serving as the store manager of Maple Leaf Retail, she was also the vice president of the Tianshui City Chamber of Commerce.
As for her brother... let's not mention him; it was just frustrating.
"President, these are the living supplies prepared for your month-long journey."
After Shui Ya finished speaking, she signaled for a clerk to enter, who presented a storage soul tool resembling a backpack.
Qian Yufeng stood up, smiling as he took the storage soul tool, and said, "Xiao Ya is always so thoughtful. When you get married, I'll be sure to give you a massive red envelope!"
Shui Ya's earlobes turned red as she replied, "President, you really are..."
Perhaps out of shyness, she set the items down and quickly left the room.
Once Shui Ya had departed, Qian Yufeng's expression turned solemn.
He looked toward his two maids and asked, "It's been five years since we last went to sea. You haven't forgotten how to pilot a ship, have you?"
Qian Lingxin spoke up, "Master, you'll see once we're on board."
Qian Lingsu also nodded with a smile, indicating that she had no issues.
Qian Yufeng didn't say anything more and began to close his eyes for a short nap.
Thirty minutes later, he opened his eyes and said to the two maids, "Let's go, it's time to depart!"
The three of them left the Maple Leaf Retail store and, led by Shui Ya, arrived at the docks.
Standing before the large ship prepared for them, Shui Ya said, "President, this is the vessel you will use for your long voyage. It incorporates the latest technology from Gengxin City."
"Very good. It is time for us to set off. Remember to give my regards to your father!"
Qian Yufeng smiled at her before turning to board the ship.
Five minutes later, the large vessel started up and slowly pulled away from the pier.
Following the markings on his nautical chart, Qian Yufeng headed southwest.
A Golden Conch generally would not change its habitat for half a year.
Starting from Tianshui City, it would take at least half a month to reach its habitat.
The information provided by the intelligence organization was no more than a month old.
Accounting for travel time, he would be very lucky to locate the Golden Conch within two months.
The ship was excellent; once the route was set, there was no need to worry about drifting off course.
To pass the time, Qian Yufeng and his two maids engaged in sea fishing.
He had assumed his streak of bad luck wouldn't follow him out to the open ocean, but every time he cast his line, he caught exactly one...
As for Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu, their buckets were already overflowing with fish...
Fortunately, over a century of cultivation had long since taught Qian Yufeng to let such things go.
The rare bluefin tuna of his past life were being reeled in by the two maids as if they were merely playing, one after another.
Even sashimi could become tiresome if eaten too often.
Looking out at the endless expanse of the sea, Qian Yufeng yawned, glanced at his fishing rod, and prepared to change the bait.
Just as he pulled in his rod, he sensed danger!
"Lingxin, Lingsu, stay alert!"
The moment the words left Qian Yufeng's mouth, the two maids turned their gaze toward the sea ahead.
Both of them pulled out telescopes and began to observe carefully.
"Master, a large group of shark fins has surfaced."
"It's impossible to identify the species yet; the fins are gray, but the tips are white!"
Qian Yufeng immediately knew what kind of sharks they were.
Demon Soul Great White Sharks!
However, he was puzzled—why would Demon Soul Great White Sharks appear here?
"Those are Demon Soul Great White Sharks, one of the most dangerous soul beasts in the ocean!"
As Qian Yufeng's voice faded, a massive wave erupted, and a colossal figure leaped from beneath the water!
It was an Evil Demon Tiger Whale, over thirty meters long, its gray-black skin shimmering with a faint metallic luster.
Qian Yufeng naturally recognized the soul beast and shouted sharply, "That is an Evil Tiger Demon Whale! It's hunting this pod of Demon Soul Great White Sharks!"
Qian Lingsu immediately left, rushed to the cockpit, and quickly adjusted the course to head toward the nearest island.
Yet Qian Yufeng clearly observed that those Demon Soul Great White Sharks were charging madly toward his ship.
It was too late to change course now!
A thought struck him: the younger brother of the Demon Soul Great White Shark matriarch, Xiao Bai, had died at the jaws of the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King!
Did that not mean the Evil Tiger Demon Whale that had just appeared was the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King itself?!
Good grief, this was essentially doubling the difficulty for himself!
Qian Yufeng immediately used his soul power to shout: "Demon Soul Great White Sharks, I have met your matriarch Xiao Bai once before!"
"Dive immediately and pass beneath our ship; I will intercept the Evil Tiger Demon Whale!"
Having said this, he immediately looked at Qian Lingxin and said, "Lingxin, activate your Martial Soul Avatar, then construct a water wall to block that Evil Tiger Demon Whale!"
"No problem, Family Head!"
After Qian Lingxin spoke, she immediately flew into mid-air and revealed her Martial Soul Avatar.
A deep purple female figure wielding a large blade swung out, and a blade aura instantly erupted, landing directly in the path of the advancing Evil Tiger Demon Whale.
Qian Yufeng also revealed his Martial Soul Avatar: a golden male manifestation, holding the Aurora Shield in his left hand and the Aurora Sword in his right.
Qian Lingxin was astonished; the Family Head's Martial Soul Avatar had actually changed!
Moreover, it was filled with a powerful sense of oppression!
"Eighth Soul Skill—Mystic Underworld Barrier!"
A golden phantom of a Mystic Water Turtle stood before the Evil Tiger Demon Whale, completely halting its forward momentum.
Violent waves surged along the sides of the defense the two had constructed, leaving the ship untouched.
"Human, mind your own business. This is a dispute between us soul beasts!"
The Evil Tiger Demon Whale King spoke, clearly unwilling to let this opportunity to slaughter the Demon Soul Great White Sharks slip away.
They usually lurked near Sea God Island; if not for the fact that it could not defeat that human woman, how could it let the Demon Soul Great White Sharks be so arrogant?!
Being able to encounter a pod of Demon Soul Great White Sharks far from Sea God Island today was the perfect opportunity for revenge!
"Evil Tiger Demon Whale, I cannot interfere in the affairs between you soul beasts."
"But you are blocking my path, so I must intervene!"
Qian Yufeng was completely unafraid. While this Evil Tiger Demon Whale King possessed a hundred thousand years of cultivation, this big brute would not be difficult to deal with.
As the two sides stood in a standoff, Qian Lingsu had already stabilized the ship, revealed her own Martial Soul Avatar, and arrived by his side.
Two Titled Douluos, plus one Soul Douluo.
The aura generated by the three of them revealing their soul rings was not the least bit inferior to the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King.
On Qian Yufeng's body, there was also a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, which made the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King somewhat wary.
"Human, I have remembered your scent. Do not let me run into you on the open sea again!"
After delivering this harsh threat, the Evil Tiger Demon Whale King dove into the depths of the ocean and vanished rapidly.
The three of them dispersed their Martial Soul Avatars and landed on the ship. Before long, the vessel was surrounded by the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
A slightly larger Demon Soul Great White Shark approached the bow and spoke in human language: "Human, thank you for your help!"
Qian Yufeng did not wish to have too much interaction with them; helping them was merely for the sake of the future.
He spoke: "You had better leave quickly; that Evil Tiger Demon Whale will not let this go."
"Sea God Island is the place that shelters you. We shall meet again if fate allows."
Soul beasts did not have so many complex thoughts. This Demon Soul Great White Shark flicked its tail and began to dive.
"My name is Xiao Qing. If you ever come near Sea God Island, just call my name!"
"Goodbye, human!"
Leaving these words behind, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks surrounding the ship vanished rapidly from the surface of the sea.
Qian Yufeng then had Lingsu adjust the course to continue toward the location of the hundred-thousand-year Golden Conch.
