After meeting Issho, Xie Wen and the others had a fairly uneventful journey ahead...
Well, if you didn't count the Little Furball Cats aboard.
"You little brats! You drew on my face again!"
The furious Sapphire Star came charging out of the cabin after several Little Furball Cats.

"Then can I ask you to move aside right now?!"

Xie Wen nearly passed out from sheer frustration at this idiot maid.

And the Little Furball Cats who had just misbehaved were fanning the flames from the sidelines.
"That's right! Never give in to that idiot Xie Wen, meow!"
