Two days later...

A tattered boat was swaying on the edge of Bayun Island. The tattered shell and the degree of shaking made people highly suspect that it would explode into pieces in the next second and be scrapped.

The moment the boat docked at the shore, Ara Taki Ichito rushed out, leaned his hands on a huge rock, bent over and retched.

Coral Palace Xinhai followed closely behind. Compared to Araki Ichito, her condition was a little better, but definitely not much.

Her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, her expression was uncomfortable, her steps were weak, and she walked with a limp.

She found a rock to sit on and recovered herself.

"Ugh... Xinhai, do you know how to sail a boat? We almost lost our lives in the sea these past two days."

Arata Ichito's face turned pale, and he leaned against a huge rock and asked weakly.

Over the past two days, the boat capsized a total of nine times.

Nine times in total!

If you know, you would think he is riding a wave boat. If you don’t know, you would think he is riding a washing machine.

Ichito Arotaki felt that getting on this boat was a mistake.

Previously, he could complete the same journey in just one day, and the process was smooth and uneventful.

It's not like now, where I'm either blown away by the waves or hit by rocks, and I almost lose my way. It's dangerous and bumpy, and the world is spinning around as soon as I go out.

If they could sail for a few more days, Arataki Ichito felt that they would not have to play anymore, and it would be feasible to just take two pieces of wood from the boat and float to Bayin Island.

"How can you blame me for this? I told you before that I only know a little about the wave boat. It was you who pushed me into the driving seat. It's already very impressive for a novice like me to drive the boat to Bayun Island. If you think it's not possible, then go ahead and do it yourself!"

Coral Palace Xinhai argued unconvincedly. She didn't want this to happen, and she didn't want to capsize. But she only knew a few tips, so what could she do?

Arata Ichito rubbed his brows and pointed at the nearly scrapped boat. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about how you are going to go back after the matter is resolved, with just this wreck?"

"You don't have to count on me. I'll go back to Narukami Island right after I'm done. I really can't help you."

Coral Palace Xinhai took a look at the miserable wave boat and sighed helplessly, "Let's take it one step at a time. There should be wave boats on Bayun Island as well. Anyway, let's solve the problem at hand."

At this time, Aratake Ichito quietly put the Ring of Empty Soul on the little finger of his left hand.

The Ring of the Empty Soul is pitch black with intricate patterns engraved on it. Now, on the gray sky and heavy rain on the Bayun Island, it has blended in with the environment.

After resting for a while, the two started their journey.

During this time, Coral Palace Xinhai looked at the dark sky with a solemn look in his eyes, "It's actually true. A sudden torrential rainstorm hit Bayun Island and it lasted for a long time. I didn't expect the environment to be more exaggerated than I imagined."

"It's good that you know. I don't want to get involved in this kind of weather, but unfortunately, I have no choice."

Arata Ichito muttered while wearing a cloak.

After walking for three hours, the two men set up a tent in a densely wooded area and lit a fire. At the same time, they took some protective measures to prevent the tent from tilting and the fire from going out.

The rain here was lighter because of the trees, but it was still falling. Fortunately, it did not cause any damage to their tent.

The two men were roasting by the fire, and the flickering flames shone on their faces, clearly illuminating their expressions.

Coral Palace's heart was calm as he stared at the fire quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

And Arata Ichito frowned slightly, his playful expression turned cold, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Yidou." Coral Palace Xinhai said softly.

"Hmm?" Arata Ichito glanced at him.

Coral Palace Xinhai stretched her hand out of the tent, and the rain fell on her palm, leaving a few water stains.

"Strictly speaking, this is my first time going out in the true sense."

Coral Palace Xinhai said slowly, "When I was a kid, I wanted to go out and play, but I was too young at the time. My parents only allowed me to play around the house and not leave their sight. Haha, I understand their concern."

"After I grew up, I was chosen to be a priestess of the present-day gods. My time was completely occupied. I had to learn etiquette and manners, as well as some rituals, economics, geography, and military affairs. Occasionally, I was tested on my ability to adapt to changing circumstances. As a result, I didn't even have any free time."

"When Lord Orobas appeared and directed me to go to Haizhi Island with you, I felt not only respect and obedience towards Lord Orobas, but also a little bit of joy and excitement. I can finally free myself for a while, see unknown scenery, and meet unknown people and things. I am really happy, so happy."

As Coral Palace Xinhai spoke, the smile on his face became more and more intense. It seemed more like he was talking to himself rather than having a conversation with Arakaki Ichito.

"Coral Palace Heart Sea." Arata Ichito suddenly called her name.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ichito?" Coral Palace Xinhai turned his head and looked at Araki Ichito.

Arata Ichito said calmly, "If you are tired, go back to the tent and rest. Don't worry about being disturbed by the outside world. I am here."

Coral Palace Xinhai was stunned after hearing this, and then he understood the hidden meaning in the other party's words. His smile slowly disappeared, leaving only a delicate and charming face.

She nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I just can't control myself."

Arata Ichito didn't turn around, but just said, "I don't mean to blame you, but when you said these words, didn't you already have your standard answer in your heart? If so, why bother asking me?"

Coral Palace was stunned again. She found that the man in front of her seemed to have many faces.

When I first met him, I thought he was a polite gentleman.

When we met again, he seemed like a young boy just starting out.

And now, he is like a wise man living in seclusion in the mountains.

This made Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yidou, you are really a strange person."

"what?"

Arata Ichito turned around and said helplessly, "I just think you are very childish, and the question you are about to ask is also very childish, so I don't want to answer, understand?"

Shanhu Gong Xinhai's face twitched fiercely, and his eyebrows jumped, "Mr. Yidou, has anyone ever told you that what you say is very irritating?"

Arata nodded, "Everyone around me says so, how did you know?"

Coral Palace Xinhai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, I understand. It's time to go to bed now. I won't talk about it for now. I'm going to sleep first."

After saying that, she dived into the tent and fell asleep.

"Hahahahaha!"

After laughing happily a few times, Aratake Ichito turned around, humming a light melody, and just sat there.

The thin figure seems like an iron wall, standing here silently.
