Hat

Su Ming nodded knowingly, but then realized the contradiction.

"Didn't you say the scales on Zijin's chest weren't a big problem?" he asked Stacy, puzzled. "Why do they need to be treated as well?"

"I didn't say anything wrong - it's not a big deal," Stacy said, sounding completely justified.

Zijin's cheeks flushed instantly, a mixture of embarrassment and anger welling up inside her. She raised her hand and slapped her arm hard. "Stacy!"

Su Ming also felt her face burning slightly. This doctor really didn't hold back when it came to joking.

Zijin picked up a comb, letting down her long, flowing hair, carefully using the strands to cover the conspicuous purple scale on her forehead.

She turned her head slightly to face the mirror embedded in the cabin wall, carefully examining the concealment effect on both sides, her hair falling smoothly down her cheeks.

"How about we go out and buy a thin, soft hat that's suitable for indoor wear?" Su Ming suggested.

"Oh no!" Stacy slapped her forehead. "My little experimental babies, it's feeding time!" Before she finished speaking, she had already dashed out of the room like a gust of wind, leaving only her voice echoing in the hallway. "Enjoy your conversation, I won't disturb you any longer!"

In the room, only Su Ming and Zijin remained for a moment, and the air seemed to become a little quieter.

"Sure," Zijin readily agreed to Su Ming's suggestion. "Then wait for me a moment while I change into something to wear outside."

Su Ming nodded, left the room, and gently closed the door behind him.

"Wait," the door was pulled open a crack again just as it closed, Zijin poked her head out, "Can I use your phone for a moment?"

Although Su Ming didn't understand her intention, he handed over the tri-fold book without hesitation. As long as it wasn't completely lost, simple damage was a minor matter that could be repaired by consuming a little Magic Power.

For the Dodder, it's just filling out an expense report. Anyway, the Rainbow Drone are already at number four, so one or two triple-fold drones are really nothing.

"Then I'll go to the bridge and wait for you," Su Ming said.

"Okay!" the girl responded, took the phone, and the door closed gently again.

About two thousand minutes later, Zijin finally appeared at the bridge entrance. For someone who only needed to change clothes, this seemed a bit long.

Instead of a bulky down jacket, the girl changed into a perfectly tailored oatmeal-colored duffle coat. The delicate plush surface shimmered softly in the early spring sunlight streaming through the porthole, accentuating her petite and charming figure.

A dark chestnut cashmere scarf was loosely tied around her neck, its fluffy texture further accentuating the fair and translucent complexion of her face. A few strands of her bluish hair, which had not been completely gathered, peeked out from the edge of her newly put-on light gray woolen hat, playfully clinging to her smooth forehead.

Su Ming was standing by the control panel, talking quietly with Ruixiuli and Jielusi. Both of them had changed into neat casual clothes and were carrying large bags, looking like they were about to go on a big shopping spree after disembarking.

"Are you... coming with us?" Zijin asked, looking at their attire as she approached.

"No," Su Ming turned to explain, "I was discussing with them the possibility of the two of them taking turns on watch on the ship to ensure safety." He paused, then added, "After we return, they can go to the market to buy supplies."

In terms of absolute combat strength, the combination of Ruixiuli and Jielusi is one of the few rivals on the continent. With them on board, they can provide sufficient protection and avoid unnecessary accidents and troubles.

"Yes, this arrangement is very safe." Zijin nodded in agreement. Safety is indeed something that needs to be taken seriously. It's like her and Su Ming; in most situations, they are inseparable and rely on each other.

"See you at the dock later!" Su Ming waved to Ruixiuli and Jielusi.

"Have fun!" Jielusi smiled brightly and waved to the two who were about to disembark.

****

The two of them naturally didn't need to wait for the ferry. Zijin habitually reached out to take Su Ming's hand, only to find that he had already unfolded a pair of deep, dark "Gossamer Wings of Darkness," which were gently fluttering behind him.

"Ah, I almost forgot you know this move too, and you're quite skilled at it now," Zijin said with a hint of surprise.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, the air around her swirled and converged, and the light of a wind-based flight spell shone beneath her feet, spreading upwards and enveloping her entire body.

"How can I resist practicing flight magic properly?" Su Ming replied.

The two soared into the air side by side, gracefully gliding across the sky, flying towards the small port town nestled on the coast.

Here, they don't need to hide their identities as necromancers. Compared to the harsh conditions of the Western Continent, the influence of necromancer wanted posters on the Eastern Continent is much weaker.

Moreover, given their current strength, in this port city, who would be foolish enough to arrest someone?

The fact that they don't actively cause trouble for Green Thorn Port is already a contribution to world peace!

Beyond the breakwater that stretches out to the sea like an arm, the color of the water below immediately changes from deep blue to light and soft, and its turbulent nature seems to be tamed, transforming into gentle waves.

Countless boats of all sizes, like colorful building blocks scattered by a child, are densely moored along the winding dock. The water near the shore, due to the churning of silt and the movement of boats, presents a murky hue of yellow and gray in varying shades.

The ground in the port area was already crowded with noisy crowds. As the great fear brought by the arrival of the Pansy gradually dissipated, curiosity took over, and countless people flocked to the edge of the dock, just to get a closer look at the behemoth that looked like a moving island.

Beyond the bustling dock area lies the town, pieced together from rooftops of various colors. As far as the eye can see, most roofs are warm, red clay tiles, interspersed with a few bluish-gray slate roofs, arranged in close rows, densely packed together.

Several wide main roads, like the thick veins of several huge leaves, radiate out from the town's central square, dividing the entire city into blocks of varying sizes and shapes.

In the center of the town was a very conspicuous circular square, paved with smooth, light beige stone. Su Ming and Zijin descended from the air and landed lightly in the center of the square.

Their landing did not cause panic. The sheer size of the Pansy and the Final Bone Mad Machines had already made these shrewd goblins realize that if they had truly intended to target them, the port would have been reduced to ruins long ago.

Therefore, the appearance of these two spellcasters was clearly not with malicious intent.

Naturally, no foolish goblin guard would dare to come forward to collect an entrance fee or force someone to act as a guide.
