It suddenly remembered its mission and immediately waved its little flag to add points for Rong Jiaojiao.

"Wow, Master, you're amazing!" Zi Ling excitedly jumped onto Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder, her little tail wagging like a windmill.

Mo Bai smiled slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "Not bad, you won this round."

"This is just the beginning!" Rong Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows triumphantly and looked at Ziling. "Ziling, you'd better do your best in the next round!"

Zi Ling immediately puffed out her little chest, waved her paw, and looked very confident: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let you down!"

"This time, we'll compete on quality." Mo Bai pointed to a deep blue area in the distance and transmitted his voice, "There's a school of golden threadfin bream there; we'll only take the fattest one."

Before the words were even finished, the two attacked simultaneously.

The ink-white gold seal transformed into an arrow, piercing the water silently.

Rong Jiaojiao's jade seal, with its flowing silk threads, follows her every step of the way.

Two spiritual energies almost simultaneously entangled the most dazzling golden snapper in the center of the school of fish—its scales already bore the golden lines of a dragon, clearly indicating that it was a rare creature about to transform into a demon.

"It's mine!" Rong Jiaojiao suddenly changed her move, using her water elemental power to create a vortex that pulled the golden threadfin bream towards herself.

Mo Bai chuckled, and the golden arrow suddenly scattered into a sky full of golden needles, actually setting up a trapping formation around the fish's body.

Just as the stalemate was at its peak, Zi Ling darted out of the protective barrier. The little creature had somehow stolen a strand of Rong Jiaojiao's hair, which now held a pill attached to it and dangled in front of the school of fish.

Unable to resist the temptation, the golden threadfin bream swallowed the pill in one gulp and swam towards Zi Ling in a daze.

The two: "..."

Zi Ling: Happy...

"Haha, looks like this round is mine!"

Zi Ling waved her little flag triumphantly, adding points to her score.

Mo Bai shook his head helplessly: "This little guy is really hard to guard against."

Rong Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Looks like we need to be careful, Zi Ling is no pushover."

The score was tied 1-1, and the decisive game was suddenly interrupted by a violent surge of spiritual energy.

Suddenly, the sandy seabed bulged up, and a king crab the size of a millstone emerged, brandishing its massive claws.

Its shell is covered with patterns, and the king crab even seems to have a faint spiritual aura!

"Tie-up!" The black and white gold seal transformed into a long sword.

"Just what I wanted!" Rong Jiaojiao's jade seal transformed into a long whip.

Zi Ling: "Squeak?! (What about me?)"

The giant crab was clearly enraged, and it used its huge claws to grab a rock and smash it down.

Mo Bai dodged, and his golden sword slashed at the crab's leg joint.

Rong Jiaojiao wrapped her long whip around another claw and used the momentum to leap onto the crab's back.

"Bang!"

The king crab was trampled into the mud by her, and the next second it was taken into Rong Jiaojiao's little secret realm and disappeared from the three people's sight.

Rong Jiaojiao grinned and said, "I won!"

Mo Bai: "You said an hour, but it's still early. Let's go again."

Zi Ling looked at the two of them with bright eyes, waved her paw, and showed them three more small flags: "Okay, okay, let's continue!"

Mo Bai smiled slightly, and the golden seal lit up again, transforming into a beam of golden light that shot towards a distant coral reef. He said softly, "There's a group of red coral fish over there. Let's see who has the most."

A cunning glint flashed in Rong Jiaojiao's eyes. The jade seal floated in mid-air, and spiritual energy transformed into fine streams of water that weaved through the coral reefs.

She muttered incantations, and the water flow, as if alive, gently drove the red coral fish to one place, making them easier to catch.

The two fought over it, and soon the group of red coral fish was divided up between them.

With plenty of time ahead of them, the two of them, without prior arrangement, began searching for new goals...

On the deck, Mo Zhizhou looked at the mountain of seafood and the two people and one animal gesturing with their crab claws to see who had done the most work. Helplessly, he set up three large pots.

"Steamed, spicy, and garlic," the veteran resignedly distributed the spoils. "We'll save the crab roe for Ziling to make meatballs, and this king crab will be steamed..."

In the gentle sea breeze, the aroma of fishing boats wafts through the air; winning or losing is no longer important...

Zi Ling happily munched on a crab claw, her little face full of a satisfied smile.

In the afternoon, Rong Jiaojiao went into the sea again, this time not to play, but to seriously catch seafood to take back to her master and parents.

As evening fell, an unmanned fishing boat slowly approached the shore. On the deck of the boat sat three people and a beast, each holding a teacup and leisurely sipping their tea.

It wasn't until they were almost at shore that Mo Zhizhou pretended to go to the cockpit.

It was the time when the fishermen were returning from fishing, and Captain Wang happened to be at the dock supervising the villagers' work.

Upon seeing them return, he approached them with a smile and asked, "Have the three of you caught any fish?"

Mo Zhizhou smiled and shook his head: "We just went to the sea to see the sea view, we didn't catch any fish."

Seeing that their clothes were clean, Captain Wang had no suspicions and cheerfully ordered his men to check if the boat was damaged.

After the inspectors said there was no problem, Captain Wang immediately had someone keep an eye on the villagers while he went back and refunded the money.

After leaving the village, Mo Bai asked Rong Jiaojiao, "Where are you going next?"

I want to go home!

"Aren't you going to wait for your second brother?"

"We can't wait any longer; their patrol will take at least a few days."

"I heard you say the other day that you were going out to gain experience. Could you tell me where you're going? I'd like to go and gain some experience too."

Rong Jiaojiao shook her head, she really didn't know: "You'll only know if you meet your master, but it should be during your worldly trials."

Upon hearing that he would gain experience in the mortal world, Mo Bai immediately lost interest. He took out a communication talisman and said, "Here are some more communication talismans. We'll contact each other when we go to the capital."

"OK."

After exchanging communication talismans, Mo Bai summoned his flying sword and called out to Mo Zhizhou, "Old Zhou, let's go!"

Mo Zhizhou glanced helplessly at Rong Jiaojiao: "Young friend Rong, what are you going to do later? Are you going to stay at the guesthouse or go back immediately? Do you want us to take you back?"

Mo Bai said, "Let her practice on her own. In time, she'll recognize all the roads."

Mo Zhizhou was worried about Rong Jiaojiao's safety, but Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Senior Mo, don't worry, I'll leave in a bit. I can find a place."

She thought that if all else failed, she could just take the train. Mo Zhizhou thought for a moment, then left her a map and told her which places she would have to pass through to get to Bing City.

With the map, Rong Jiaojiao felt confident that she could fly home on her sword without any problems.

He gratefully thanked Mo Zhizhou, saying, "Thank you, Senior Mo, this has been a great help to me."

Mo Bai said, "Rong Jiaojiao, don't let me find out you're lost, or I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life!"

After he finished speaking, the flying sword beneath his feet shone brightly and instantly soared into the sky. Mo Zhizhou quickly followed, leaving only two streaks of light streaking across the sky.

Rong Jiaojiao gazed in the direction they had left, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

He picked up Zi Ling and said, "Let's go back too."

He made a hand seal to conceal himself and Zi Ling's figures, summoned his flying sword, and jumped onto it while holding Zi Ling.

The flying sword carried her slowly into the air, and Zi Ling excitedly darted around in her arms, her little tail wagging incessantly.
