Jian Mo quickly took out some jerky and threw it to them, feeling as if she were feeding koi in the ocean.

Others saw that there were more Haiqin here, so they all flocked over to play with Haiqin and feed them.

Some daring people even climb on their backs, grab their fins, and let them carry them while they swim.

Wan Zheng was one of those who rode on Haiqin's back.

Haiqin was round and slippery, making it very difficult to maintain balance while riding on him. He had to tighten his waist and abdomen to avoid falling off, which in turn accentuated his slender waist.

Wan Zheng called out to Jian Mo and the others, "Jian Mo, riding on it is so much fun! Do you want to try it too?"

Jian Mo was excited. "Then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Jian Mo hugged the giant wolf's neck. "Let's try it together."

The giant wolf then transformed back into human form, put its arm around Jian Mo's waist, and the two rode off together on the Haiqin.

Considering they had fed him dried meat, Haiqin didn't mind giving them a ride around the sea.

This Jian Mo's first time riding a fish, and she still found it incredibly fun, even though she wasn't very steady on the ride and would occasionally fall into the sea. She was still very happy.

The sea here is clean and calm, and the seafood is abundant.

They rode for a while and even dived to the bottom of the sea to collect a lot of fish and shellfish.

After a day of fun, they grilled fish and shellfish on the shore in the evening.

Freshly grilled seafood tastes great even without any seasoning, let alone when they brush it with condiments.

The fat birds brought chili powder and garlic powder with them. They grilled the fish until the oil was rendered, then sprinkled it with chili powder and garlic powder. The taste was absolutely amazing.

Jian Mo got excited and even pulled out a dagger to slice raw fish for them.

Sea fish are much safer than river fish, and they don't eat them much, only occasionally, so it's not a big problem.

Jian Mo cut the fish for them, some parts into thick slices, others into thin slices, and then dipped them in the seasoning powder. It tasted delicious.

Everyone sat on the beach at dusk, chatting and enjoying the sea breeze.

"We've waterskied and eaten fish before, but we've rarely had this much fun."

It's so nice to be with my friends.

"Why don't you stay a little longer? Witch Doctor Jian Mo yet, have you?"

Jian Mo smiled and said, "I've learned almost everything. Besides, there's so much medical knowledge; there's always more to learn. I'll practice the rest slowly when I get back, and if I encounter any cases I don't understand, I'll just save them up and come back to ask for help."

"It seems you're definitely going back. I'll really miss you."

"Please come over a few more times. If that's not possible, we can come pick you up."

"Yes, whenever you want to come over, just send a message and we can come and pick you up."

Jian Mo and the others had already prepared to go back, and everyone knew that.

Although they were very reluctant to leave, when they returned, more than a dozen nearby tribes sent people to see them off and prepared gifts for them.

Jian Mo looked at the baskets full of pearls, gemstones, mother-of-pearl, and fish-shaped stones, and felt a little guilty. "This is far too precious."

Those who came to see him off said:

"Not as valuable as your character."

"It's just a small gift, Witch Doctor Jian Mo don't be shy. I hope our friendship will last as long as these jewels."

"These are local specialties. Please take them back with you. We hope your orcs will know that there are tribes like ours, and that we can have more exchanges."

Looking into those sincere eyes, Jian Mo couldn't bring herself to refuse and could only nod, moved.

Wu Jiong said, "Thank you for your hospitality. We hope that one day you can visit our tribe and we will treat you well."

"Definitely! It's a deal then. Let's have more exchanges between our two regions and hopefully forge a deep friendship."

Neither Jian Mo nor Wu Jiong were particularly good at small talk.

After they finished speaking, they prepared to set off.

The nearby tribes prepared a lot of supplies for Jian Mo and his group. Luckily, the fat chicks were there, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to carry them all.

When they arrived, the Fen Hui were still very ill.

When they returned, he had almost fully recovered, so he asked the fat chick from the Cypress Branch Tribe to carry him. The Jiujiu carried Jian Mo, Wu Jiong, and a small amount of supplies, Ying'ao also carried the supplies.

They flew higher and higher, and the people below waved to them, loudly inviting them to come and visit again next time.

They responded.

After bidding farewell repeatedly, they flew away from the vicinity of the Stored Star Tribe.

A member of the Cypress Branch Tribe said, "They are so friendly. We didn't realize it when we came, but now that we're leaving, it's really hard to say goodbye."

Jian Mo: "Yes, everyone is very nice."

Wan Zheng: "It's mainly because of your excellent medical skills and kind heart, Jian Mo, that you've won everyone over."

Jian Mo: "It's mutual. The Witch Doctor Xing Yi and the others are very kind; they've taught me a lot."

Wan Zheng laughed, "You've taught them so much, and they all get along so well. You really should come back and visit more often."

Jian Mo: "That's what I think too. Let's go back and try out what we've learned. I miss home so much!"

It wasn't just Jian Mo who missed home; everyone was homesick. Even Jiujiu chirped twice, indicating that it missed its nest.

So the flying creatures flapped their wings harder and flew even faster.

Jian Mo leaned against Wu Jiong and looked down.

Strangely enough, when he first came to this world, he felt that the Mengshui Tribe was very far away from them.

Looking back now, it seems that the Stored Star Tribe isn't that far from them.

He recognized every tribe in the area, and he remembered every place. Even if he hadn't seen a tribe before, he could roughly tell where they were and what their products were if he mentioned their names.

That's really strange.

Jian Mo whispered to Wu Jiong for a while.

Wu Jiong said, "That's because feelings have developed."

Jian Mo thought for a moment and laughed, "Really. When I have no feelings for anything, I'm too lazy to remember anything or go anywhere. But now I think it's not so bad to put in the effort for a while."
