Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Setting Sail_1

Najia gesticulated for a long time before Feng Yuan finally understood what Najia meant and sighed,

"Maybe it has already come for a visit, after all, that’s their wish, isn’t it?"

"Who are you talking about?"

Yang Hongzhi looked puzzled. Najia gazed sadly at the sea, while Feng Yuan looked out over the sea and slowly said,

"Estir. It once promised someone to go see the sea together, but unfortunately..."

Yang Hongzhi fell silent for a moment, looking helplessly at Najia. He had heard about Estir from Feng Yuan before, but never expected Najia to think of Estir upon seeing the sea, and even have its mood affected.

While the two were silent, Qi Xiaoshuang ran over holding a Ball Whale plushie and said,

"What are you guys doing here? Aren’t you going to check out the souvenirs over there?"

"Xiao Shuang, what are you up to?"

After distributing drinks to the three of them, Qi Chen asked with some confusion. Dou Yanlan glanced at the plushie in Qi Xiaoshuang’s hands and then at the souvenir shop not far away, smiled, and said,

"We’re docking here on our return, there’s no hurry to buy souvenirs."

"But look, this plushie is so comfortable to hold~ I can use it later on the ship~"

Feng Yuan glanced at the plushie in Qi Xiaoshuang’s hands and snickered without saying anything.

"Hehe~ What do you think of my Ball Whale plushie~"

Once aboard and luggage stowed, everyone regrouped on deck, and seeing Qi Xiaoshuang holding the Ball Whale plushie, Feng Yuan took out his own Ball Whale plushie that he got from the New Year’s event from Big Cat, waved it around, and said. Catching a glimpse of Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang said irritably,

"They are the same model, what could be different?"

"That’s not necessarily so~"

Feng Yuan said and tossed the Ball Whale plushie onto the ground. The plushie quickly enlarged upon touching the ground and soon grew big enough for Feng Yuan to lie on top of it. Watching the growing plushie, the other startled onlookers stepped back, and nearby tourists looked on in amazement.

"What weird thing have you managed to pull off now?"

Qi Chen said with some speechlessness. He was quite sure that the plushie didn’t have the ability to enlarge before. Feng Yuan, lying proudly on the plushie, said,

"Enchantment~ My plushie can be used as a bed~"

Catching a glimpse of Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang said crossly,

"Aren’t you worried about getting it dirty by just tossing it on the ground like that?"

Agunas’s phantom swung its tail resignedly and said,

"That thing really isn’t worried about dirt. He’s piled up a bunch of blessings and enchantments on it. It’s not only dirt-resistant but also fireproof and waterproof and all that. It can easily be used as a shield or a bludgeon."

Qi Chen looked speechless at the Ball Whale plushie under Feng Yuan and said,

"You really are something, turning a plushie into a weapon..."

"Who said it was turned into a weapon! It just has a few extra features, is that considered a weapon?!"

"Anyway, if you’re playing something like a pillow fight, be careful not to let him use that thing as a weapon. If I’m not mistaken, that thing could knock out a Common Level Spirit Beast if hit with enough force."

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas’s phantom crossly and said,

"I just wanted to protect the plushie, how did you make it sound like it’s turned into a weapon."

"By its attributes, it could indeed be considered a weapon."

"Truly..."

Feng Yuan stood up from the Ball Whale plushie, and as soon as he picked it up from the ground, the Ball Whale quickly shrank. Feng Yuan nonchalantly patted the plushie, only to stir up a bit of dust.

Just as Feng Yuan was about to hand the Ball Whale plushie to Big Cat to keep, a woman wearing a white sun hat, leading a little girl, came over and asked,

"Could you sell that doll in your hand to Auntie?"

"I can’t."

Feng Yuan decisively refused, while Agunas’s phantom swished its tail and watched the scene with amusement. After trying for a while and realizing that Feng Yuan really did not want to sell, and also seeing no relatives of Feng Yuan around, she left consoling the little girl after failing to ask where Feng Yuan bought it from.

"No forced buying or selling, huh?"

Feng Yuan watched the two leave with some curiosity when Dou Yanlan glanced at him and stroked Cotton, saying

"Our travel group is so small, who would do such a thing? Besides, what you have isn’t anything particularly important."

"But don’t those novels always write about rich people who, when they see something, will try to smash it with money, and if they can’t get it, they’ll resort to underhanded methods?"

Casting a glance at Feng Yuan, who pretended to be innocent, Qi Xiaoshuang said with dissatisfaction

"Do you think that’s possible?! I don’t even believe in such things, let alone your broken doll. Smashed with money, underhanded methods, how could that be? Besides, there are quite a few people here who, like us, got their tickets through a lottery. Where would the rich people come from?"

"At least there are plenty of blessings from Divine Beasts, right..."

Hearing Feng Yuan murmur, Qi Chen said helplessly,

"Anyone who would do such a thing for a mere doll would really be a joke..."

After a long time, as everyone was observing the harbor on the deck, they heard the whistle and hurriedly ran to the bow. Other tourists also came running out. As the steam whistle blared continuously, two sky-blue orbs of light began to stretch out into the distance in front of the Royal Mary, and after a while, the Royal Mary slowly entered the waterway between the two bands of light.

As it entered the waterway, the Royal Mary gradually picked up speed, and an energy barrier enveloped the entire ship, reducing the strong winds caused by high-speed travel to a gentle breeze brushing over the people on deck.

"A high-speed waterway, huh? I didn’t expect Delong Tower to still be able to maintain this thing."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s sentiment, Agunas’s phantom swished its tail and said,

"That waterway is not being maintained by Delong Tower, but by Spirit Beasts in the ocean following Delong Tower’s orders to keep up the minor waterway."

"I see..."

Feng Yuan said with some disappointment. The high-speed waterways were established by Delong Tower to ensure communication between different regions, as ships traveling on these would reach their destinations at extremely high speeds. The existence of the high-speed waterways not only increased the speed of the ships but also prevented other creatures and Spirit Beasts from accidentally entering the waterway, as a collision with a high-speed traveling ship would be quite troublesome.

As for the air? Airplanes and the like were hardly ever for civil use, since aside from planes, there were various Spirit Beasts and birds flying above, and there were also all sorts of strange phenomena and special power outbreaks. Ships could reach their destinations even without taking high-speed waterways, just more slowly. But airplanes, without well-established air routes, would not dare to fly, as there would be a very high chance of accidents occurring en route.

"I didn’t expect the high-speed waterway to be like this..."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with some disappointment. Feng Yuan glanced at her and asked,

"Disappointed?"

"Sort of. I thought the high-speed waterway would be spectacular. After all, that’s how it’s written in the books. I didn’t expect..."

Looking at the high-speed waterway composed of two ’tracks of light’, Qi Xiaoshuang seemed very disappointed. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Seeing is believing, right? Maybe to someone else, this is indeed spectacular?"

"How could that be..."

"Actually, if you’re not looking at the high-speed waterway, it’s quite interesting."

Dou Yanlan said calmly. Following her gaze towards the distance, Qi Xiaoshuang saw beyond the high-speed waterway, where, aside from the swiftly passing sea surface, there were also many fleeting things. The distant Ball Whale pods kept leaping from the water for some unknown reason, and a flock of seabirds circled overhead, seemingly trying to catch fish from the sea.

After watching for a while, Feng Yuan returned to the center of the deck. Xiao Ji, who had stayed in the center of the deck and dared not wander, glared at Feng Yuan with a wronged chirp. Rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan smiled and placed Pomiti on the deck. Lying on a deck chair, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji,

"Since you’re not comfortable on the deck, why not go back to your room first?"

Xiao Ji stared pitifully at Feng Yuan, seemingly hopeful that Feng Yuan would return to the room with it. After poking Xiao Ji’s forehead, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"There’s nothing in the room, why would I go back?"

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan in dissatisfaction and turned away with an angry posture.

By the time Qi Chen and the others returned to the center of the deck, they saw Feng Yuan asleep on the lounge chair, with the Dreaming Dragon Baby coiled on a nearby table, Xiao Ji tucked in Feng Yuan’s arms, and Pomiti huddled together, with Xiao Ji’s body trembling occasionally.
