A Leisurely Journey, Dragons and Phoenixes Clash

The autumn air was crisp and clear, and the sun shone brightly.

A multi -Tower Ship floats on the clear, emerald-green river, which is dozens of meters wide.

The Tower Ship swayed gently on the Qingbo, drifting downstream with the current.

This river connects to the large lake of Purple Jade Mountain, flows southeast, and eventually merges into the large Great River beside Purple Jade Mountain, flowing into the Eastern Sea.

By this time, they had left the Purple Jade Mountain basin and were continuing to drift southeast with the current. The Tower Ship was not fast, but it was very stable, controlled by a white deer.

In the sky, a blue-green fiery bird stretched its neck and cried out as it swept across the heavens.

A red dragonfish with a dragon's head swam across the water ahead of the Tower Ship. Although the dragonfish was only a few feet in size, it was very conspicuous in the crystal-clear river.

This time, they planned to drift with the tide towards the Eastern Sea, and then head south along the coastline, to avoid venturing too far into the Eastern Sea and attracting unnecessary trouble.

As for the time, it's uncertain for now; we'll go back when we're done playing.

Of course, this is the ideal scenario where nothing unexpected happens along the way.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Chu would like to head south along the coast to take a look at Wuyi Mountain.

Perhaps he'll accidentally find that Treasure-Dropping Money, which only appears during the Investiture of the Gods period!

However, at this stage, this treasure has most likely not yet been conceived.

Just like the future Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

If the Heavenly Court had already been conceived by now, the Qilin Royal Court would not have been built on Qilin Cliffs, but rather on the Heavenly Court atop Buzhou Summit.

Even if nothing comes out now, Wu Chu wouldn't mind marking the place first, and retrieving it later if the opportunity arises.

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry about this at all.

Under the parasols on the deck of the Tower Ship, three scantily clad figures lay on the deck, each wearing sunglasses of a different style, sipping iced coconut milk tea with pearls.

Behind the three deck chairs, a large white cat lay sprawled, its big paws also holding a cup of milk tea. It would occasionally take a leisurely sip, its large eyes narrowed in a look of pure enjoyment.

Several Little Flower Fairies floated out of the Tower Ship's cabin carrying fruit platters and placed them on the tea table between the three people. The fruit platters were still emitting wisps of cold air, clearly indicating that they had been chilled.

Wu Chu taught Little Moon Spirit how to make milk tea, and Wu Chu also taught her how to make tapioca pearls. Although there was no tapioca flour, Lotus Root Starch could be used as a substitute to make a similar texture.

The three people lying there were Wu Chu, Qingqiu Li, and Houtu.

Wu Chu, dressed in beach shorts and flip-flops, his muscular upper body bare, looked relaxed and laughed, "I told you we should bring Little Moon Spirit and the others! Without them, how could we be lying here enjoying this milk tea and sunbathing like this?"

Lying next to her, Qingqiu Li pouted and said, "What sunbathing? You didn't even put away the parasol. Besides, we can go without eating or drinking!"

"If you don't eat or drink, what's the fun in living? As for sunbathing..." Wu Chu shook his head, glanced at her delicate, fair skin, and offered a reason that even he himself didn't believe, "I'm just worried about your delicate skin getting sunburned!"

The skin of someone at the Daluo Realm can get sunburned; how is that any different from Sage dying from mushroom poisoning?

Even the usually kind-hearted Houtu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This shows just how absurd Wu Chu's reasoning was.

Both women were dressed in revealing swimsuits. Qingqiu Li's swimsuit was similar to the one the Little Fox had worn, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure. In contrast, Houtu, who was wearing a bathrobe over Houtu swimsuit, was much more conservative.

However, comparing the two women's figures, Wu Chu found that Houtu Tu's figure was more voluptuous. Although Qingqiu Li's was not bad either, it was somewhat smaller.

Wu Chu dared not look too long, lest he become more and more eager to look.

Seemingly sensing Wu Chu's conflicted feelings of wanting to look but not daring to, Qingqiu Li felt much better. Although she didn't openly display herself in front of Wu Chu like the Little Fox, she would occasionally tease Wu Chu with her body language and find amusement in it.

This made Wu Chu secretly think to himself, "She really is a cunning old fox. Her seductive skills are so natural and effortless, without the slightest hint of affectation."

At these times, Wu Chu would silently suppress any evil thoughts that might arise in his heart, so as not to embarrass himself in front of them.

Although I can't indulge in the company of beautiful women, I still enjoy the sights every day. After cutting off those evil thoughts, I feel much more natural.

And so they continued southeast, and soon entered the vast, expansive Great River.

Drifting on the Great River, little accidents happen every day.

Because there are so many large fish living in the Great River, the Big Red, which has turned red in color, will always encounter some of its own kind that come to provoke Great River.

Even if she returns to the deck, many large fish will still attack the Tower Ship.

Of course, they weren't worried about this at all, and even had Big Red, Little White, Bi Huo Yoyo, and You You take turns dealing with these aquatic creatures that dared to provoke them.

If they can't handle it, let the Little Fox take over; this will also give the Little Fox some fighting experience.

After all, in a quiet and peaceful place like Purple Jade Mountain, there aren't many opportunities for magical duels.

With the Little Fox's Golden Immortal Realm level, if she were to fight unrestrainedly, she could easily cause damage to the surrounding environment, and Wu Chu didn't want to fight her either.

The Little Fox's magic mainly relies on Illusion Technique, but Illusion Technique are basically useless against Wu Chu because his right eye contains an Illusion-Breaking Divine Ability.

If she encounters an unreasonable aquatic creature, Little Moon Spirit will use the 'Illusory Slaughter Technique' to torment its Primordial Spirit.

If Little Moon Spirit can't handle it, then Qingqiu Li will step in.

There weren't many aquatic creatures that Qingqiu Li could 'see through', and although Qingqiu Li didn't kill them, they suffered a lot of torment, and the result was naturally tragic.

Two or three months later, the weather turned cold and heavy snow fell. The Great River gradually froze over, and the ice layer thickened with several days of heavy snow.

Unable to navigate on the water, the Tower Ship was towed by several Big Dog, gliding across the ice like a sled, which provided a unique experience.

And so it went, through countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters, until one day, a bird's cry caught their attention, and the distant sky seemed to be ablaze.

Another dragon's roar resounded, causing all the beasts to fall into hibernation.

Phoenixes sing and dragons roar; are they fighting?

The group looked at each other, then gazed at the distant sky.

The Tower Ship sailed downstream, and in the distance, a waterspout could be seen rising from the wide river, sweeping towards the blazing firelight that was pouring down from the sky.

Amidst water and fire, two shadows flickered and intertwined.
