Chapter 21: Sailing across the sea, straight to Haiqi Island!
Seeing the questioning looks in everyone's eyes, Yae no Miko stopped being the riddle-maker and gave the answer directly.
"Go to Haiqi Island to find Xinhai. She is skilled in healing and well-read. She should have a solution."
After saying that, Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes slightly.
After some thought, and realizing she was bored lately, she decided to go with them.
And so, the group boarded the wave boat bound for Haiqi Island, each person preparing to pilot one boat.
Since Xunfeng was still in a childlike personality at this time, he sat on the same boat as Hu Tao.
However, just as they were about to set off, Paimon encountered a problem.
"Ugh! The cockpit of this ship has such a huge drop! It's infuriating!"
Paimon complained that the height difference in the cab made it impossible for her to drive, while stomping her feet in the air.
"Paimon! Come with me!"
Upon hearing the commotion from Paimon, Ying smiled and invited her to stay on the same ship as her.
"Yay! Ying is so good to me!"
After saying that, Paimon excitedly flew to the Firefly's ship and completely forgot about the original ship, as if he had never seen it before.
Wave Boat: You're so high and mighty!
After all the little incidents were over, everyone finally set off!
Along the way, the sky was gray and covered with dark clouds. You could see lightning flashing across the sky at any time, accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds.
For some unknown reason, the sea was devoid of life. The group traveled for several hours without finding any marine life in the murky water.
Driven by the fierce sea winds, the waves in the Inazuma Sea rose and fell in waves, creating huge surges.
Not far away, a few seagulls circled around the sea, emitting piercing cries.
After sailing for a while, Paimon leaned against the side of the boat out of boredom. She immediately spotted some marine life on the distant sea.
"Ying, look! So many fish! It's spectacular!"
Paimon happily pointed ahead; these were the first marine creatures she had seen since boarding the ship.
"Huh...they're in such a large group...where are they headed?"
Paimon scratched the back of his head, puzzled.
In the ocean, a pod of dolphins was rapidly heading towards Haiqi Island. The dolphins didn't dare to slacken their pace; even exhausted, they wouldn't stop for a second. An uninformed observer might have thought the seawater was poisonous!
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of animals of various kinds in the vicinity followed the group, not daring to fall behind.
It was as if they were all fleeing the sea area near Inazuma City, rejecting the water source of Inazuma City.
Upon witnessing this phenomenon, Paimon felt indignant and stood up for them.
"How wonderful and happy they used to live in their homes! But now they have no choice but to... leave their homes and find new shelter..."
As he spoke, Paimon choked up, a rare occurrence for him...
After hearing Paimon say that, Ying also felt a connection with her emotions.
I never expected Paimon to be such a kind-hearted person!
"Paimon..."
Upon hearing Paimon's emotional distress, Ying prepared to comfort him.
Ying smiled and turned around, only to see the kind-hearted Paimon... slurping noodles!
So all that sobbing was just the sound of swallowing instant noodles?!
"Paimon, where did you get this instant noodles?!"
"Ah...hehe, it's normal for someone to be hungry and carry some food with them..."
According to Ying, the idea of dinosaurs coming back to life is more believable than Paimon's sobbing and crying!
Finally, after a long voyage, the group successfully entered the waters around Haiqi Island.
For some unknown reason, only Haiqi Island in the entire Inazuma region is currently peaceful, with marine life still living normally on the sea surface.
After entering this area, the dolphins finally breathed a sigh of relief. Overjoyed, they emitted cheerful dolphin sounds on the surface of the sea, expressing their love for the beautiful environment.
"All marine life knows the importance of the environment! But some people... humph!"
Paimon reluctantly expressed his thoughts, while angrily raising his little fist.
"Paimon... don't worry, one day, the world will be at peace..."
Ying gently patted Paimon's shoulder and smiled calmly.
Meanwhile, Xunfeng, on the walnut boat, held a lollipop that was now just a stick and complained loudly.
"The candy's all gone! The candy's all gone!"
Xunfeng's eyes were filled with tears, and tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.
Why are his eyes often filled with tears? Because he loves this candy so deeply!
"Xunfeng, be good! Don't make a fuss~ After we get off the ship, I'll buy you more lollipops than you can eat, okay?"
While keeping her eyes on the front and steering the ship, Hu Tao gently and softly steadied the lively Xun Feng.
However, Xunfeng, who is not easily fooled, immediately realized that he had been tricked and taken away after the candy ran out!
"No! I want my mother! Where is my mother? You big bad guy, let me go!"
Once Xunfeng realized what was happening, he started shouting helplessly, almost ready to call the police and report the child abduction!
"I want to go home! I want to find my mother! Mother... please don't... leave me!"
As she spoke, Xunfeng vigorously wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face.
Seeing his heartbroken appearance made Hu Tao feel a little sorry for him.
Helpless, Walnut could only take out the Staff of Protection and lean it calmly to the side.
As expected, upon seeing such a long weapon used for domestic violence, Xunfeng instantly became as obedient as the most well-behaved child in the world.
"Xunfeng is the most obedient!"
Xunfeng had no choice but to submit to Weiwu.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly.
Several hours later, the group successfully arrived at Haiqi Island and landed.
Haiki Island is different from other islands in Inazuma.
Here, from beaches to mountains, from forests to meadows, every corner is full of charm.
Especially at dawn or dusk, under the warm, soft sunlight, the entire island seems to be covered with a layer of golden mist. A gentle breeze rustles through the vast grasslands and trees, as if whispering some wonderful and beautiful melody.
The endless mountain ranges stretch into the distance, merging into the clear blue sky, a vast expanse of misty mountains. The peaks are gently shrouded in a thin mist, like shy maidens draped in white veils.
Looking at the beautiful scenery before them, the suppressed emotions that everyone had felt along the way vanished in an instant.
"Ying, this place is so beautiful! Hehe, quickly take a picture of me with the camera!"
Paimon flew happily to the beach and reached out to call out to Ying to take a picture of her.
Hu Tao, who had just disembarked, belatedly took out her camera when she saw them taking pictures, ready to have a nice photo with Xun Feng.
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as she was about to take a picture, she discovered that Xunfeng had already slipped away!
In order to escape the so-called "armed regime", Xunfeng took advantage of the moment when the ship had just docked and rushed directly to the island.
Xunfeng quietly ran across the beach, treading on the grassland, and hid behind a huge rock.
Once she realized what was happening, Hu Tao called out to Yae no Miko, then grabbed the domestic violence weapon... no, I mean the staff of homa, and went to find Xun Feng.
After taking a few photos, Ying noticed that Kurumi and Yae no Miko were preparing to leave, so she reminded Paimon that it was time to set off.
At this moment, Xun Feng was leaning against the boulder, trying his best to hold his breath and not reveal the slightest flaw.
However, the perceptive Walnut still spotted the shoe he had dropped halfway through his run.
Hu Tao smiled secretly, marveling at how careless Xun Feng was.
Following the trail, Hu Tao approached Xun Feng, then pretended not to see him at all.
She looked up at the sky and said softly, "Oh my, the weather is nice today, isn't it? Shenzi, Ying, Paimon, and... hehe, Xunfeng!"
Xunfeng was initially pleased with himself for seeing Hu Tao looking up at the sky and not noticing him, but then he suddenly heard Hu Tao call out his name.
Startled, he panicked and ran to the side, crashing into the boulder!
