Even after Lycia led Ellie into the floating island, Anlula still hadn't made up her mind.

Finally, Anlula patted her forehead helplessly. Whatever, it doesn't seem to affect them much, whether they are mermaids or merfolk.

Besides, the fact that they're openly flying around the island means they're also the island owner's people, so why think so much? Right?

After figuring it out, Anlula went back to continue tending to the coral, since coral tends to grow wildly if it's not tended to.

......

Lycia, holding Ellie's hand, looked at the floating island with curiosity. A flying island? It was the first time she had ever seen one. She was very curious!

They first looked around the floating island, and then flew up to it.

"Hey? It's Brother Chen Ping! Come on, Ai Li, let's go over there."

As soon as Lycia finished speaking, she immediately pulled Ellie and flew towards Chen Ping.

And what is Chen Ping doing now? Well, that's right, he's digging for floating rocks with a pickaxe.

He has already dug up over a hundred pieces, some big and some small. The big ones are about the size of a basketball, while the small ones are about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Soon, Lycia and Ellie arrived at Chen Ping's side.

Lycia: "Brother Chen Ping, what are you doing?"

"Hmm," Chen Ping put away his pickaxe, then looked at Licia and Ellie, and smiled, "What brings you two little girls here? Weren't you helping Linafil down there?"

Lycia: "Hehe, we snuck here, okay? Brother Chen Ping, you can't tell Linafil's mom."

Ellie nodded and said, "That's right, we snuck here."

Chen Ping had Aili divide into a small water ball, then washed his hands and pinched Licia and Aili's little cheeks, laughing, "This is the reward for keeping it a secret, hehe. I'll go downstairs to make dinner now. You two call Ailai and Yimo'er back for dinner later, okay?"

Licia rubbed her cheek, nodded, and replied, "Okay~~"

Chen Ping: "Hmm, very good."

After returning to the villa, Chen Ping first went to the water dungeon to select a dragon beast as the main dish, and then went to the warehouse area to see what ingredients were available before starting to cook.

......

After wandering around the floating island with Ellie for a while, Lycia got bored when she found there was nothing there.

Ellie: "Um, Lycia, didn't Brother Chen Ping tell me to tell Sister Ailai and Sister Yimo'er that we're going back for dinner? Should we go down now?"

Lycia nodded in agreement: "Alright! There's nothing much to see here anyway."

Lycia and Ellie then left the floating island and flew downwards.

Soon, the two returned and then ran to find Ailai and Yimoer.

If Lycia sees Linafil's mother again this time, she won't be afraid. I'm here on a mission, hmph.

Unfortunately, Linafil's mother wasn't with her sister Ailai and the others this time; they were nowhere to be found.

Licia: "Sister Ailai! Sister Yimo'er! Brother Chen Ping is calling us back for dinner!"

Ailai and Yimoer looked at Licia who was walking over and asked in confusion, "Brother Chen Ping is calling me back for dinner?"

Seeing that Lycia and Ellie both nodded, Ellie looked at the sky and saw that it seemed to be getting dark. "Alright, let's go back first."

Ailai: "Imora, you take Licia and Aili back first. I'll go talk to Sister Linafil and the others, and then I'll go back."

The three nodded and then flew towards the villa.

Chen Ping opened the pot lid and took a look. Not bad, it was perfect. After plating it, he took this last dish out.

The food wasn't served inside the villa, but outside, since the dragon beast that served as the main dish was too big to fit through the villa's main gate.

As soon as Chen Ping stepped out the door, he saw the three of them fly back. Hmm, where's Ai Laiyi?

After putting down the dishes, Chen Ping asked them in confusion, "Where's Ailai? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Imora: "Sister Ailai will go and tell Sister Linafiel and the others. She'll be back in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded, knowing that he understood the reason.

Lycia looked at the table full of delicious food, smelled it, and thought it smelled so good. She wanted to eat it, but she couldn't. She had to wait for her sister, Elaine, to come back so they could eat together.

Licia, looking like a little glutton, amused Chen Ping. Luckily, Ailey returned soon.

As soon as Licia saw her sister Elaine return, she was already itching to eat. Once Elaine sat down, she immediately started eating, and while eating, she didn't forget to put food on Elaine's plate.

Soon, the five of them were full and satisfied, their attributes improved, and their appetites increased accordingly.

......

Chen Ping yawned. It was getting darker, and it was time to go to sleep.

Early in the morning, Chen Ping, having finished washing up, was holding a fishing rod and looking at the little mermaid holding the float with a headache.

Yes, that's right. It was my first time fishing today. Before the float even started to sink, the little mermaid grabbed it and started playing with it. As a result, Chen Ping pulled, and the little mermaid was caught.

After a while, the little mermaid finally realized, "Island Lord?! That scared me to death!"

The water element instantly gathered into a small water ball, enveloping her before she released her hands and looked at Chen Ping with unease.

Chen Ping said to her helplessly, "Next time you see something like this, make sure you don't touch it, okay?"

The Little Mermaid nodded frantically, which really scared the fish to death; she won't be getting up early anymore.

Seeing the little mermaid's frightened face, Chen Ping told her to go back. Honestly, was he that scary? He was so handsome.

Without the Little Mermaid bothering me, fishing is no problem now.

The first time, an epic treasure chest burst out of the water. Not bad. The second time, a dragon-like creature resembling a ribbonfish was caught. No doubt, a water prison awaits.

The third and fourth times, I fished up treasure chests, and they were all epic treasure chests.

The fifth time, it was a dragon beast, but it looked a bit strange. It was a crab-type dragon beast, and its most distinctive feature was its two large pincers, which looked like dragon heads.

The sixth time, it was a deep-sea storage shell, quite large. The seventh time, it was another sea monster, again imprisoned in a water dungeon. The dragon beast, aside from other things, had very decent food—delicious meat and plenty of energy.

Otherwise, given Chen Ping's current attributes, how much ordinary food would he have to eat?

The eighth time, a dragon beast; the ninth time, still a dragon beast; the last time, a treasure chest made a dazzling appearance—a golden treasure chest.

Chen Ping threw all the sea beasts into the water prison, only to find that the water prison wasn't enough. Helpless, he had to create a few more water prisons and then introduce some spiritual seawater from Crescent Moon Sea.

With the spiritual seawater, the dragon beasts are basically obedient. Just kidding, with such a good environment, of course they would cultivate well. Unfortunately, what they don't know is that they are just stored fresh food.
