Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Senior, won't you stay for a meal?"

Tian Shu shook his head: "I still need to go back and report what happened here, so I won't stay any longer."

He beckoned to four of his men and asked, "One of you stay behind just in case; the rest of you come back with me."

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Team leader, I don't use much energy, I'll stay."

"Alright, Shulang stays!"

Tian Shu and Zheng Weiguo explained, "We have already scouted the nearby waters and found no other dangers. However, for the time being, do not allow the fishermen to fish in the deep sea."

Zheng Weiguo saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Tian Shu then led his men away.

Before leaving, he cast a spell on the civilians and ordinary soldiers who were watching from a distance, telling them to forget everything they had seen that day when they woke up the next day.

As night fell, an enticing aroma wafted from the military canteen.

The cooks carefully prepared some of the marine mammal meat, turning it into a sumptuous seafood feast.

Rong Jiaojiao and Shu Lang, who stayed behind, were invited into the military camp. Shu Lang was invited to have dinner with the leaders.

Rong Jiaojiao and her brother were sitting in the cafeteria, with a large plate of steamed ribbonfish in front of them. The fish was white as jade and emitted an enticing aroma.

"Brother, you try it first." Rong Jiaojiao picked up the tenderest piece of fish and placed it in her brother's bowl.

Rong Zhiyuan smiled and ruffled his sister's hair: "My Jiaojiao has grown up and knows how to care for her brother now."

He took a bite of the fish and his eyes widened immediately: "This...this is so delicious! And it makes me feel warm all over after eating it!"

Rong Jiaojiao also took a bite and immediately felt a gentle spiritual energy flowing through her body.

She quietly circulated her cultivation technique, channeling this spiritual energy into her meridians.

Before dinner, Zheng Weiguo specially granted Rong Zhiyuan two days off so that he could spend two days with Rong Jiaojiao.

At this moment, Rong Zhiyuan happily grabbed his sister's hand and ran out of the military camp. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the brother and sister stretched long on the beach.

"Brother, slow down!" Rong Jiaojiao stumbled as she was pulled, but she smiled very happily.

Rong Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Jiaojiao, I'll take you to a great place!"

"Where?"

You'll know when you get there.

Rong Zhiyuan led Rong Jiaojiao for half an hour before arriving at a secluded bay, where they dragged a small, weathered wooden boat out of the grass on the hillside.

“This is…” Rong Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.

"I secretly bought it from the villagers!" Rong Zhiyuan patted the side of the boat proudly. "We usually go out to sea on our days off. The moon is so beautiful tonight, so I'll take you out to sea to see the stars!"

Rong Jiaojiao circled the wooden boat with delight, her fingers gently tracing the hand-carved wave patterns on the hull, her eyes filled with admiration: "Brother, this boat is so beautiful! When did you learn to row?"

Rong Zhiyuan chuckled and deftly untied the rope: "You've already learned how to do it, even though you've only been here a short time. Come on, let me help you up." He stretched out his calloused hand and steadily supported his sister's elbow.

The small boat rocked gently with the waves, and Rong Jiaojiao lightly leaped onto the small wooden boat.

"Hold on tight!" Rong Zhiyuan gently pushed off the shore, and the small boat glided towards the sea.

The moonlight spilled onto the calm sea, shattering into millions of dancing silver stars.

Rong Jiaojiao lay on the side of the boat, her fingers tracing the cool seawater.

Suddenly, a string of glistening water droplets leaped from her fingertips, transforming into luminous butterflies in the moonlight, fluttering around the brother and sister.

“This is…” Rong Zhiyuan stared in disbelief.

"A minor water-based spell." Rong Jiaojiao winked mischievously, "To add some decorations to brother's night flight."

Bathed in the light of the water butterfly, Rong Zhiyuan's face showed a look of amazement.

He reached out, trying to touch the glowing butterflies that twinkled in the night sky, but they deftly avoided his fingertips and gathered again a short distance away, forming a crystal-clear heart shape, presenting a magical performance for the brother and sister.

"Jiaojiao, your skills are truly amazing!" Rong Zhiyuan exclaimed sincerely!

Rong Jiaojiao laughed and said, "These are just minor spells. Brother, do you know any beaches that the villagers can't reach?"

"I know, what do you want to do?"

Rong Jiaojiao said, "Brother, shall we go beachcombing there and find some good things to take back for Mom, Dad, and Big Brother to eat?"

Rong Zhiyuan's eyes lit up as he asked, "Sis, can you swim?"

"meeting!"

Rong Jiaojiao immediately sensed that something interesting was going to happen, and answered decisively. Even if she didn't know, she would say she did, especially since she really did.

"Come on, let's go diving."

Rong Jiaojiao immediately perked up: "Which way? I'll use my spiritual power to propel the boat."

"Great!" Rong Zhiyuan pointed to a hazy area of ​​the sea in the distance. "There's a hidden underwater reef over there. The water is crystal clear, and there are tons of fish, shrimp, and shellfish. We've sneaked over there a few times before, and there's plenty of high-quality seafood there!"

Rong Jiaojiao smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of her hands, a stream of soft spiritual energy flowed into the boat, causing it to suddenly accelerate and slicing through the calm sea like an arrow.

The moonlight shone on her face, revealing a touch of playfulness and liveliness.

"Wow, that's incredible speed!" Rong Zhiyuan exclaimed, gripping the gunwale tightly, his eyes filled with excitement. "How did you control it? I couldn't go that fast even with my internal energy!"

"Hehe, what's the big deal!" Rong Jiaojiao didn't think it was a big deal. "If you use your internal energy more, you can do it too."

The small boat sped across the sea, stirring up white waves.

Before long, they arrived at the sea area that Rong Zhiyuan had mentioned.

Rong Zhiyuan asked, "Jiaojiao, should we go ashore to rest for a while first, or go straight into the sea?"

Rong Jiaojiao said, "Brother, we have two days. Let's go ashore first. We won't go into the sea tonight. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"OK!"

The two men slowly brought the small boat to shore, and Rong Zhiyuan skillfully tied the rope to a rock on the shore.

He jumped off the boat, reached out and grabbed Rong Jiaojiao, helping her step steadily onto the beach.

"This place is so beautiful!" Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed as she stood on the beach, gazing at everything before her.

The moonlight shone on the fine white sand, as if laying a silver velvet carpet on the earth.

In the distance, the waves gently lapped against the rocks, making pleasant sounds, and the air was filled with a faint salty smell and the fresh scent of the sea breeze.

“This is where my brothers and I found it. It’s rarely visited.” Rong Zhiyuan pointed to a flat, large rock not far away: “Come on, let’s rest there tonight.”

Rong Jiaojiao nodded and went to the big rock. The rock was large and flat, and she estimated that it was more than enough to fit her small wooden house.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Rong Jiaojiao created a charming little wooden house that quietly appeared on the flat rock.

The wooden house radiated a soft, warm glow, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
