Chapter 619: Chapter 620 Casual Talk_1

"It’s not that it’s wrong, just... if that’s the case, why doesn’t he take more initiative? Isn’t he worried that those items won’t sell?"

Upon hearing Wei Dingwu’s words, Cheng Yong laughed and said,

"Because it’s not the Sea Market Day, plus he won’t actively peddle those items. After all, everyone has their goods consigned there, and it wouldn’t be right to favor anyone over the others."

"But still..."

"Actually, everyone is used to it here. We Aquatic People aren’t as troublesome as you land folks. We just look around the shop on our own; being constantly recommended items would actually be annoying for us."

"I misunderstood then,"

Wei Dingwu said somewhat embarrassedly. She hadn’t realized there was such a big difference in mindset. She was used to shops where the moment you walked in someone would greet you warmly and keep introducing items, and hadn’t expected the stores here would be like this.

"If you want something to eat, you can come over to my house. I’ll have her prepare more food for you right now."

Noticing Feng Yuan look his way, Mo Li thought for a moment before declining,

"No need, we have food too, no need to trouble you."

"But..."

"We appreciate your kindness, really, it’s not necessary."

"Alright then."

Cheng Yong didn’t insist any further, but he was a bit disappointed. Feng Yuan glanced at the Delong Tower statue on Pearl Square and said,

"Cooking something up here shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Here?"

Cheng Yong was slightly puzzled, but still said,

"There shouldn’t be a problem. Do you need any tools?"

"No need～"

Feng Yuan replied while somehow producing a bunch of cooking tools from nowhere. Looking over at the beach not far away, Feng Yuan thought for a moment, then said,

"I’ll go catch some fish to bring back, and set up a camp over there in the meantime."

Because Kui Shui Xuanwu didn’t have an attached space like the Island Jellyfish behind it, everyone had already dismantled the cabin and were carrying their luggage by hand when they left Kui Shui Xuanwu’s back.

"If that’s the case, why not cook over there?"

Looking at the ground beneath her feet paved with polished stones, Mo Ling was a bit perplexed. Feng Yuan glanced at the fountain and said,

"There’s no fresh water over there. If you don’t mind running back and forth, be my guest."

Picking up a cooking utensil, Mo Ling said,

"Then let’s go. I don’t want to damage a square that others have worked so hard to build."

Although everyone would clean up the trash, cooking required making a fire, which would inevitably leave burnt marks on the ground. Mo Li laughed and picked up a cooking utensil to follow. Seeing everyone join in with their things, Feng Yuan didn’t say much more. While he did think it would be convenient to use the fresh water over there, it wasn’t absolutely necessary to do so there.

"You’re not planning to fish, are you?"

Seeing Feng Yuan pulling out a fishing rod, Guo Huai spoke in disbelief. Looking at the row of kittens squatting beside him, Feng Yuan calmly said,

"No, fishing is too slow."

"Then what’s the fishing rod for?"

"For leisure after we eat, I’m putting it aside now so I don’t forget about it later."

"You..."

Guo Huai didn’t know what to say to him, so he simply ignored Feng Yuan and turned to start preparing food with the others. Though they had meat and vegetables provided by the White Wolf Deity, the selection still seemed a bit monotonous. Suddenly, there was a strange noise from far off at sea, and everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads towards the source of the sound. They saw a white wave continuously surging towards the beach.

"What is that?"

Cheng Yong was puzzled. This was inside the Island Jellyfish’s space, where large waves weren’t supposed to appear on the sea surface. It didn’t take long before he could clearly see what it was.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing those deep-sea fish continually surfacing, Cheng Yong was very surprised. There shouldn’t be any of those fish inside the Island Jellyfish’s space. The kittens nearby, seeing so much food appear, immediately started drooling and moved forward a few steps involuntarily until the splashes from the fish jumping ashore completely drenched them.

The little cats immediately started meowing in distress. Although they didn’t hate the water as much as Xiao Ji did, getting drenched in the cold weather was not at all fun. Feng Yuan looked at the little cats and said,

"Whose idea was it to run so far ahead?"

Xiao Ji had hidden itself long before the fish came charging over, fearful of being forced to take a ’bath’. Indeed, things turned out just as it had expected. Looking at Feng Yuan with disdain, Xiao Ji turned its curious gaze towards Delong Tower.

At the moment, Delong Tower was continuously moving inside the water sphere. Although everyone was not quite sure what was going on, they could guess that it was probably Delong Tower’s doing. Neither Feng Yuan, Kui Shui Xuanwu, nor White Wolf Deity had the ability to make the fish in the sea jump into their nets.

"Delivery to your doorstep~"

Feng Yuan said with a smile while picking up the fish and transporting them over to Guo Huai and the others. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Guo Huai said in an annoyed tone,

"Is this how you use Divine Beasts?"

"What ’use’? You make it sound so bad. It’s just them lending a small hand. Otherwise, we would have had to go out and fish in the sea, which would be way too troublesome."

"With so many fish, I wonder how long it will take for you to deal with them all."

Looking at the large pile of ’stranded’ fish on the beach, Guo Huai said with a sneer, while Feng Yuan somewhat sheepishly replied,

"You guys will help out, won’t you..."

"Not helping, who asked you to bring so many fish over."

"It’s not just for me to eat... plus, those little kittens need to eat too..."

Hearing what Feng Yuan said, Hua Yiyou finally noticed the little cats that were scrambling for the ’stranded’ fish. After thinking it over, Hua Yiyou said,

"If it’s for preparing food for those little cats, I can help."

"I can help too."

Guo Huai glared at Feng Yuan resentfully and said. Having observed the little cats for a long time, he had developed some feelings for them; preparing food for them wasn’t an issue.

"Do you need my help?"

Cheng Yong, who was standing by and saw everyone busy, asked. Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan, who was dealing with the fish, and said,

"No need, you must be tired from taking us around all day. Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"No, thanks, I don’t understand the rules of you land-dwellers."

Cheng Yong hurriedly waved his hands, declining the offer. He had previously dined with the old master Xia Yu and the big merchants from the land cities, and the rules were indeed numerous. Mo Li smiled and said,

"We don’t really have any rules here."

"No thanks, I should be heading back. If you need anything, feel free to come find me. My house is right there, very close."

Cheng Yong pointed at a nearby house and said, to which Mo Li nodded in acknowledgment,

"Understood, we will come to you if there’s an urgent matter."

Noticing Cheng Yong’s departure, Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"You didn’t ask him to stay?"

"Not necessary. If it were just him, it would be one thing, but I believe his wife and son are still waiting for him at home."

Mo Li said in a low voice. Mo Ling glanced at Mo Li but remained silent. Hua Yiyou shook his head in resignation, pretending not to hear, while Liu Wenli paused for a moment as if nothing had happened and continued to work on the vegetables. Wei Fangwu wanted to lend a hand, but there were already too many cooks, what with the guards included. After pondering, Wei Fangwu took the White Ape to the side to continue practicing how to utilize his inner strength.

After dinner, everyone rested separately. Liu Wenli found Feng Yuan sitting on the beach and carefully sat down beside him before asking,

"I’ve noticed that the Aquatic People really don’t have those nobles and families, do they? Why is that?"

"It’s not that they don’t exist. Aren’t the two great generals of the Maritime People just that? It’s just that everyone, no matter the dispute, will consider the overall interest."

"The reason, well, perhaps it’s because the risks at sea are too great. Although they didn’t elaborate, Legendary Level creatures like the Island Jellyfish are not common. While the Island Jellyfish can provide extra living spaces, I believe most still reside on ordinary islands."

Glancing back at Pearl Town, Feng Yuan said in a soft voice,

"Even a place like this cannot accommodate too many people. The auxiliary spaces of the Island Jellyfish cannot be remodeled at will. Too great a loss of either plants or animals would affect the Island Jellyfish."

"Then... the extras..."

Realizing something, Liu Wenli expressed her surprise. Feng Yuan nodded, smiling as he said,

"They’re probably left on some island. It’s the responsibility of Spirit Beasts like the Island Jellyfish to trade with land towns. Aside from a small group that guards the Island Jellyfish, most of the Petal Jellyfish are likely staying near those islands, responsible for daily fishing and hunting."
