Chapter 635 - 636: Goodbye Mrs. Zhuo_1

Chapter 635: Chapter 636: Goodbye Mrs. Zhuo_1

After a while, Mrs. Zhuo hurried over, glanced at Delong Tower floating beside Feng Yuan, and said with a bow,

"I owe you many thanks for before."

Delong Tower paid no attention to Mrs. Zhuo, engrossed in playing with the water orbs that drifted back and forth under its control, sometimes colliding, sometimes parting.

"Do you plan to establish a new settlement here?"

Hua Yiyou asked curiously, his head nodding as Mrs. Zhuo replied,

"Yes, it’s not quite suitable to always reside within Nanyu City."

Seeing Hua Yiyou hesitate to speak, Mrs. Zhuo smiled slightly and said,

"You’re thinking that this place is too close to Nanyu City, right?"

"Even with its assistance, we cannot guarantee survival far away on our own, the unknown sea harbors too many threats."

"Everyone has decided that those who are capable will establish their own settlements around Nanyu City, so we can support each other promptly in case of any incident."

"Do you regret it?"

Feng Yuan asked slowly, and locking eyes with him, Mrs. Zhuo simply smiled and said,

"Once a decision is made, there is no point in regretting it. Instead of harboring regrets, it’s better to make the next decision more carefully. Besides, staying in Yuehu Town isn’t necessarily a good thing."

With a sigh and eyes closed, Mrs. Zhuo said,

"Great Li is the source. Though we don’t know exactly what they’re doing, the turmoil in surrounding countries is inseparable from Great Li’s shadow."

"They might think themselves well-hidden, but to us, it’s enough to have our suspicions; evidence doesn’t matter too much."

"Great Li, huh..."

Mo Li murmured to himself, hearing this perspective for the first time. Mrs. Zhuo opened her eyes and said with a smile,

"Of course, you need not worry. With your strength, as long as you don’t dive headfirst into the fray, no matter how much Great Li upends the Divine Land Region, it won’t affect you in the least."

"Not get involved, huh..."

Mo Li said with a bitter smile, speaking in a low voice. Mrs. Zhuo appeared surprised at his reaction and comforted him after a moment,

"Even if you do get involved, it’s fine as long as you don’t rush to the forefront. There isn’t much danger. You don’t strike me as the kind who would disregard your own safety and that of those around you for profit. As long as you don’t seek benefits or allow yourself to be used by them, actually..."

Realizing she wasn’t sure how to continue, Mrs. Zhuo hesitated; it wasn’t easy to urge a person as young as Mo Li to be less impulsive. Moreover, sometimes no matter how much you hold back, there are things that can’t be avoided.

After some thought, Mrs. Zhuo said,

"It’s a pity we’re too far from the Divine Land Region; otherwise, we might be able to offer you some help when the time comes."

"Thank you, no need. I imagine establishing a foothold here is no easy task for you either."

Though Feng Yuan spoke of Kavieng being able to suppress the Maritime People, like the Aquatic People and Maritime People who need goods from the Divine Land, those on the island are equally in need of supplies they currently lack. To obtain these materials from the Divine Land, they face even greater difficulties than the Aquatic and Maritime People.

While Feng Yuan does not regard the Black Sea as dangerous, for Nanyu Kingdom, which lacks many water Spirit Beasts, reaching the Divine Land requires ships and also poses the threat of the Maritime People.

As for purchasing goods on land, they actually have less trouble than the Maritime and Aquatic People. Setting aside the loyal merchants who had secretly infiltrated other countries, the familiarity with the land goods they require is incomparable to that of the Maritime and Aquatic People.

The Maritime People might target their cargo ships over goods, requiring Kavieng to remain on the island, so their challenge lies in how to transport the traded goods back.

Thinking this, Feng Yuan looked towards Cheng Yong, shared the issues of the Maritime and Aquatic People with Mrs. Zhuo, and conveyed his thoughts. After some reflection, Mrs. Zhuo said,

"This matter is significant, it probably needs the King of Nanyu to decide, and besides, it might also require a leader from his side to come here."

Understanding the change in attitude that collaboration between the Aquatic People and Nanyu Kingdom for land goods would provoke amongst the Maritime People, Feng Yuan did not say much, simply instructing Cheng Yong to discuss it with the mayor and others upon his return.

"It hadn’t occurred to us that there could be such complex situations at sea."

"Compared to the land countries, the ocean environment is actually much simpler."

"That’s true..."

Ms. Zhuo smiled helplessly and said, at this moment, Mo Li’s Lantern Bug could not wait and ran off to find the Sun-Scorch Insect by itself. Ms. Zhuo looked at the Lantern Bug and said,

"Are you also preparing to leave?"

"How did you know?"

Guo Huai asked with some confusion, to which Ms. Zhuo responded with a smile,

"Otherwise, why would you bring it here? You must want to see it one last time before parting, right?"

"It’s a pity... I wonder if it’s doing well..."

"Not all your people have evacuated?"

Mo Li asked with some confusion. When they met outside Nanyu City before, everyone had seen that Ms. Zhuo had two Sun-Scorch Insects. Ms. Zhuo looked at the Sun-Scorch Insect that was communicating with the Lantern Bug and said,

"All our people have indeed evacuated, but it didn’t come with us. It wants to stay in our ancestral land to do something special."

"Then..."

Just then, the other Sun-Scorch Insect flew over from the direction of Nanyu City. Following Mo Li’s gaze, Ms. Zhuo understood something and said with a slight smile,

"That one evolved shortly after you left. Now, only it remains there alone, guarding the place. Despite our many persuasions, it just does not want to leave."

"Because it wants to save that place..."

Feng Yuan understood the other’s intent and murmured to himself. Ms. Zhuo sighed and said,

"Perhaps..."

The group talked with Ms. Zhuo for a long time until dinner, when Ms. Zhuo invited them all to join her for the meal. After being declined by Mo Li, she then turned and left.

"She also can’t bear to leave Yuehu Town."

Feng Yuan remarked. Mo Li nodded. If it weren’t for unease and reluctance, why would Ms. Zhuo talk to them for so long? The mention of Ms. Zhuo’s words gave Mo Li a headache. Liu Wenli calmly watched Feng Yuan fiddle with the cooking utensils and asked,

"Is the food still what the White Wolf Deity brought out?"

"We can’t possibly eat theirs, can we? Their food reserves are so tight, I think we should avoid adding to the chaos."

"But it’s weird, isn’t it? Why hasn’t Ding Wu come over?"

They had already sent someone to inform Wei Dingwu, so he certainly knew that Feng Yuan and the others were here. Hua Yiyou, who was helping Feng Yuan with the food, spoke up,

"After we eat, are we staying here for the night or returning to Pearl Town?"

"Let’s go back to Pearl Town. Otherwise, the old man will start worrying."

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the Maritime People and the Aquatic People, Feng Yuan understood that bringing the two sides together for talks was not going to be easy. The person who had separated the groups with Xia Yu’s grandfather was from the Whale Town Shell Coin Bureau, and this negotiation was actually initiated by those in charge of the Shell Coin Bureaus.

Feng Yuan was the most crucial person in the negotiations, so if he didn’t return for the night, the old man would definitely worry about a potential accident. Acknowledging this, Hua Yiyou nodded and said,

"Then, if Ding Wu hasn’t managed to come back in time, we’ll head back first, and come to pick her up tomorrow."

"That works, or if she still hasn’t sorted it out by tomorrow, maybe we can go give her a hand?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the phantom of Agunas looked at him with surprise and concern,

"Won’t doing this be...?"

"It’s fine. Both Nanyu and the Maritime People actually don’t have much influence, and on the Black Sea, there’s a lot we can do."

Feng Yuan explained with a slight smile. The historical revision over the Black Sea was much easier than on land because humans were never the main force in this vast sea. That’s also why he dared to propose opening a trade route.

In the original history, the trade route was established in the middle of the Dynasty Era by explorers from the Omeilia Region, who first discovered and mapped out safe sea routes between Divine Land and Omeilia.

Although they took advantage of being the first, they couldn’t maintain it for long. The Great Pirate of the time discovered this group of oddly originating people, and those explorers and merchants were no match for the Great Pirates, so the trade route they worked hard to establish soon became a secret known to everyone.
