Chapter 670: Chapter 671 Arrival_1

"We should be able to arrive tonight,"

Feng Yuan informed everyone over breakfast. Just then, Cheng Yong happened to walk by and glanced at Feng Yuan and the others, saying,

"Where do you plan to land?"

"Nan Huang, I suppose, but you probably don’t need to drop us off, we have a ship to get there."

"While it’s fine for you to take us to shore, you must be eager to rush back and deliver those supplies to your own people, right?"

"The specific details are up to you to decide."

Seeing Feng Yuan look his way, Mo Li took a sip of tea and said,

"You’ve said everything I could have said, what more can I add? And haven’t you already made the decision for me?"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Feng Yuan chuckled nervously. Smiling lightly, Mo Li said,

"I’m not blaming you. Actually, I had more or less the same thought. If you have a ship, then there’s indeed no need to have them take us to shore."

"Moreover, if you were to show up at the shore, there might be quite a commotion."

"Are you traveling in secrecy?"

Cheng Yong pondered this for a moment and then spoke. Mo Li nodded and replied,

"More or less."

"Actually, news from Nan Huang doesn’t really get out."

"Because they are too scattered."

Cheng Yong said somewhat helplessly. Although Nan Huang was nominally a kingdom, in reality, it was more like a conglomerate formed by a union of tribes. While everyone was a subject of the Nan Huang kingdom, there wasn’t much hierarchy among different tribes, and the title of a great tribe was just that, a title.

Those strong enough were free to apply to become a great tribe, as long as they received approval from more than half of the tribal council.

That’s also why it was troublesome for Cheng Yong and his people to trade with them, as their supplies were extremely limited. At least the ordinary tribes had to provide a batch of supplies to the great tribes each year, while the relatively wealthy great tribes were mostly inland.

Even those by the sea found it challenging. They were too powerful, able to hold on to a part of Nan Huang’s land in these times. In truth, their strength surpassed most nations.

But because they were not united in intention, it wasn’t easy to expand Nan Huang’s territory. Other nations dreaded the might of those great tribes, and the complex terrain of Nan Huang deterred them from launching an attack.

As such, unless one was from Nan Huang, there wasn’t a real need for secrecy in the region. At least people from other nations didn’t have much respect for the people from Nan Huang. As for planting spies?

They weren’t quite sure how Nan Huang managed it, but at least deploying spies there was extremely difficult; they were easily detected.

As long as the news didn’t get out, what Mo Li and his group did didn’t really matter all that much.

After some thought, Mo Li looked at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Is your ship reliable?"

"Guaranteed not to sink!"

"Well then... we’ll just catch a ride to shore on your ship,"

decided Mo Li with a smile. Although landing with the Island Jellyfish was relatively more reliable, it wasn’t necessary.

"Alright then,"

seeing their response, Cheng Yong didn’t say anything more. If Mo Li and the others said so, he couldn’t very well insist, right? Besides, he wanted to deliver the supplies back home as soon as possible.

However, later on, when Xia Yu’s grandfather heard about it, he reprimanded Cheng Yong. Afterward, no one knew quite what Xia Yu’s grandfather said to the other Shell Coin Bureau people, but in the end, the verdict Cheng Yong heard was that all the Maritime People and Aquatic People were forbidden from trading with Great Li and even had to hinder any sea traders who were on their way to trade with Great Li.

Cheng Yong did not know whether the old man had guessed the origins of Mo Li and his party before making such a decision, he just found it strange.

"We’ve finally arrived; I didn’t expect it to be directly on the second day,"

Feng Yuan yawned and stretched, although he had predicted they would reach the seas near the Divine Land Region last night, it wasn’t guaranteed. Cheng Yong smiled and said,

"The old master mentioned that it’s very unsafe for ships to travel at night, so the Sea God Envoy took a bit more time on purpose."

"I’m very sorry,"

said Cheng Yong apologetically. Mo Li chuckled and replied,

"It’s no trouble; we’re not in a rush."

Pouting, Feng Yuan grumbled discontentedly,

"How much distrust do you all have in my ship?"

"We don’t trust you completely, although you’re reliable in big matters, but..."

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan as he spoke, knowing how troublesome this guy could be when he acted wilfully. Feng Yuan humphed discontentedly and carried Xiao Ji off to dinner. Noticing the thing floating beside Hua Yiyou, Feng Yuan asked in surprise,

"How did you end up bringing it back with you?"

Ghost Fire Lamp hid behind Hua Yiyou, looking scared. Hua Yiyou rubbed his temple and said,

"Couldn’t help it, it just wouldn’t leave on its own."

"Why do I feel like I’ve heard that line before?"

Full of envy, Guo Huai said, and Feng Yuan replied with a laugh,

"It’s because you don’t attract their affection, do you?"

"Bullshit! Who says that! Look, Pu Pu really likes me, doesn’t it?"

As he said this, Guo Huai looked towards Pu Pu, but when he met Pu Pu’s contemptuous little eyes, it was as if he had suffered a great blow, while Pu Pu wore a smug smile, snuggling up to Guo Huai while making faces.

"Is it really okay to take it back with us?"

Liu Wenli sized up the Ghost Fire Lamp and asked Feng Yuan. The Ghost Fire Lamp peeked out cautiously from behind Hua Yiyou, eyeing everyone warily. However, the pale blue flame on its head was too conspicuous, and since its eyes were on the lower half of its face, nearly the whole head was sticking out, still pretending to be unseen, which made Feng Yuan think it was rather silly and endearing.

Feng Yuan pondered for a moment and then said,

"It’s not a big issue, they can help us send it back when the time comes."

"Eh?!"

"The Maritime People and Aquatic People travel back and forth between the two continents all the time. If we ask them to help send it back, that’ll be fine. Besides, Ghost Fire Lamp is a Ghost Series Spirit Beast. The Maritime People and Aquatic People need Water Series Spirit Beasts; they won’t harm it."

Having said that, Feng Yuan glanced at Hua Yiyou and continued,

"If worse comes to worst, I’ll ask Gitalien for a favor and simply open a cross-continental teleportation portal to send it back."

"A cross-continental teleportation portal?!"

The group looked at Feng Yuan in amazement. Except for Guo Huai, everyone was deeply surprised. After all, there were not many Spirit Beasts capable of opening teleportation portals these days, and most had restricted ranges. Even in the Divine Land Region, coverage was not complete, let alone across continents.

Smiling, Feng Yuan added,

"Gitalien is a Divine Beast, so what’s so strange about opening a cross-continental teleportation portal?"

"Aside from it, other Spirit Beasts would find it hard to open cross-continental portals, or rather, there’s almost none that can do it."

"Then... who is its Divine Pact Maker?"

Liu Wenli was curious about this. At this time, having a Divine Lord who could open portals to any place at any time was highly advantageous.

"It has no Divine Pact Maker. It’s on the same level as Ernis. Do you think it would have one?"

The shadow of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan as if about to say something but hesitated. Remembering the commotion Ernis had caused in the Omeilia Region, the group was startled. They hadn’t expected Gitalien to be of such a high level.

"If that’s the case, then naturally it wouldn’t be possible."

Mo Li wasn’t doubtful, quickly realizing that if Gitalien had a Divine Pact Maker, it would have already unified the entire Divine Land Region. How could Ordinary Spirit Beasts stand a chance against it? And as for Yimu Qingling’s Divine Pact Maker? To be honest, unless they were like those suicidal nobles from Great Yan, Mo Li seriously doubted whether they would willingly fall under his command.

But this seemed impossible, at least judging from Ernis’s behavior. The likelihood was very slim. Instead, Mo Li was somewhat surprised that Gitalien hadn’t plunged the continents into chaos like Ernis had, causing wars everywhere.

"Why not? Wouldn’t ruling an entire continent be interesting?"

Liu Wenli joked. Feng Yuan pursed his lips and replied,

"Then Lorraine Tower would directly clean it up. Cut it out, it wouldn’t be that reckless. You dare to think about ruling a continent, but the other Divine Beasts certainly wouldn’t allow such a thing."

The shadow of Agunas nodded and said,

"Directly interfering with the normal development of a region involves significant implications. Without a justified reason, we wouldn’t consent to it."

"Not permissible, huh?"

Liu Wenli mused as she looked at the shadow of Agunas. At that moment, Cheng Yong came over and said,

"We’ve arrived. Are you sure you don’t need us to send someone with you?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking towards him, Mo Li shook his head and responded,

"No need, with him here, returning to land is not difficult for us."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan did not object, as the fact was indeed so.
