Chapter 327: Chapter 323 Fish Tail Island

"I know this one!" Windsor said from the side, "It’s said that among the six princesses, only the little princess hasn’t come of age. She’s quite curious and often drags the witches who come from the shore down to the seabed to ask about things on land. I’ve heard other witches who come to the tavern talk about it."

Upon hearing about the little princess, Mu Ying’s quest progress didn’t change, indicating that the story probably hadn’t happened yet.

It seemed she would have to stay in the Mermaid Kingdom for a while.

Unlike previous times when she could complete the story by listening to others’ accounts, this time she would have to experience and witness it herself.

As night deepened, Mu Ying and Windsor left the tavern and returned to Windsor’s shop.

At this time, there were still quite a few pedestrians on the road.

It was evident that Moon Port’s nightlife was rich and varied.

Windsor usually lived in a small loft above her shop.

Behind the counter, there was a little staircase leading up to it.

Mu Ying followed her up.

The loft wasn’t big, she could almost reach the ceiling on tiptoe, but it was arranged quite cozily, and you could see the street scenery just by opening the window.

If she didn’t have to return to the real world, it would be quite joyful to live like Windsor, find a beautiful city, buy a small house and run a little shop.

"Are you going to sleep in the suitcase, or with me?" Windsor asked. Her bed wasn’t big, and the loft was fairly small; she was afraid Mu Ying wouldn’t be used to it.

Without giving it a second thought, Mu Ying said, "Of course I’ll sleep with you, hehe!"

She really liked it at Windsor’s place; it had a sense of peaceful, secure calm.

Unbelievably comfortable.

It was exactly the dream retirement life she imagined.

And it had been so long since she had hugged the soft and squishy Windsor; she kind of missed it.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Windsor understood her intentions and shook her head resignedly.

After washing up, the two squeezed onto a small bed and fell asleep.

The soft moonlight filtered through the window lattice, spilling onto the quilt and shifting slowly.

As the stars wheeled and the moon set, the morning sun barged into the tiny loft.

Mu Ying felt the light and unconsciously turned over, draping her arms and legs over Windsor.

Although Windsor only opened her shop in the afternoon, she would typically get up quite early in the morning to go grocery shopping at the morning market.

So as soon as the room brightened, she woke up, only to find herself firmly embraced and pinned to the bed.

She looked down at Mu Ying, who nestled in her chest and rubbed her cheek against it twice, her lips seemingly glistening with bright liquid, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Oh well, she must be tired from the journey; best to let her sleep a little longer.

After a while, with her arm growing numb and her pity turning to mischief, Windsor took a strand of hair that had fallen to one side and gently brushed Mu Ying’s nose with it.

"Achoo!" Mu Ying sneezed and woke up, seeing Windsor’s smiling face, she playfully pounced on her.

A great battle ensued.

Passersby in front of the shop, hearing the playful giggles of the girls, couldn’t help but glance up at the loft and smile knowingly.

"Okay, okay, I give up. I’ll take you out for dim sum, please spare me!"

This war without smoke ended with Windsor’s plea for mercy.

By the time they finished their dim sum, it was almost noon.

Senior Sister Rosie couldn’t help but urge them with Dingling Flowers, asking if they got lost.

Riding brooms, they should have arrived in one or two hours.

In broad daylight, it wasn’t good to take off directly from the city, so the two of them had to find a place far from human habitation first, which is why they walked along the coastline for a long time.

Because Senior Sister Rosie’s island wasn’t shown on the map, they couldn’t use the Flying Carpet for direct navigation, so both of them took their brooms.

Whoosh, they shot up into the sky, and once they were at a high altitude, they didn’t have to worry about being seen.

After all, nobody could make out their faces.

Occasionally, when encountering passing ships, the two playfully circled around them like birds.

That caused continuous shouts from the people on the ships.

But they laughed heartily themselves.

In reality, Mu Ying had never flown so brazenly.

She felt completely relaxed.

After flying over the clear blue sea for a while, they could see from afar that there was a grayish area on the sea level, shrouded in white mist.

"That’s the Mist Sea Domain, we pass through that area, fly for a while, and we will reach Senior Sister’s island," said Windsor, pointing at the sea.

Mu Ying saw with her own eyes that nearing this area, all the ships altered their course, it seemed the rumors of storms here were true.

But Mu Ying and the other witch weren’t afraid of this, they just needed to cast some Waterproof Magic and they could fly as usual, even in stormy weather.

In fact, some witches liked to travel far during stormy weather when humans stayed inside and visibility was poor!

The two accelerated and plunged into the Mist Sea Domain.

On the merchant ship, a young sailor asked his master, "There’s an eye of the storm in the Mist Sea Domain, why do birds still fly into it?"

The old sailor looked at the two little black dots in the sky and said, "Those aren’t birds, those are witches riding brooms. Legend has it that the mist and the storms in this sea area are the magics of witches, that there live very powerful witches who can control the wind, the rain, and the waves, and there are countless gold and silver treasures inside. It’s a pity that no ship can withstand the mist and storms here, but as long as one breaks through, one will not return empty-handed."

...

Stories about witches gradually became popular again on this merchant ship.

Once inside the Mist Sea Domain, even Mu Ying and her companion had their vision obstructed, but they were sure of their direction and couldn’t get lost.

From time to time, they could hear faint singing.

Windsor said it was the singing of mermaids.

But through the thick fog, Mu Ying couldn’t see clearly.

The Mist Sea Domain wasn’t particularly large, but it wasn’t small either; it took them half an hour to fly out of it.

Soon, an island with lush vegetation but not a large area appeared in front of them.

"It was by the lake under the waterfall where Senior Sister Rosie met Bertrand. There’s a channel at the bottom of the lake that leads straight to the sea floor. Bertrand often came here alone to sing and later Rosie named this nameless island Fish Tail Island. She even built a wooden house half on shore, half on the lake, and cleared fields for farming, living mostly self-sufficiently," Windsor explained to Mu Ying as they got closer to the island.

"From what I’ve observed, Bertrand really cares for Senior Sister Rosie. He’s basically moved to live in the lake as well, even going fishing in the sea to supplement the household, taking good care of her. It’s just that not every merman has the same taste as Bertrand; if they did, I’d like to find a merman too," Windsor added.

Mu Ying: "..."

It seemed that Windsor had a high opinion of Bertrand.

"I’ll probably have to stay at least a year in the Mermaid Kingdom. Do you want to come and play too? Maybe you’ll find your merman prince!"

It was always safer for her to be watched over than for her to go alone.

Mu Ying admitted she had an old-maid mentality, always worrying that her little sisters would be deceived.
