Xu Qi happily clutched the gold coins in his pocket and left the house to inform everyone.

Although the boat was rocking violently, he was neither afraid nor concerned.

After all, even if they fell into the sea, the goddess Fang Yuan would save them.

He ran so fast because he was afraid his master would take back the gold coins in his pocket.

Upon seeing this, Xu San's small eyes also quickly darted around.

He then quickly stuffed the gold beads he had just received into his pocket, and then stood up:

"Master, Master, it's too late for Xu Qi to notify everyone alone. I'll go help him."

After saying that, he quickly slipped out of the house.

"·····"

Xu Jiaheng snorted coldly as he watched the two's little actions.

He then gathered the rest of the items from the table and gave them to Fang Yuan: "These two brats, they took everything you gave them. I'll win it back for you later."

He put the remaining gold beans in a bag and handed it back to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked at Xu Jiaheng with amusement, then put the bag in his arms.

"Here, take these gold coins! They'll only be interested in continuing to play with me if they lose a little every now and then."

Since the man chose to leave with her this time, her tacit consent has made him revolve around her.

His possessiveness grew stronger, and he would insist on accompanying her every time she played mahjong.

They also fed her cards in various ways to prevent her from losing.

As a result, she hasn't lost a single silver bean in all the time she's been playing cards.

Even if there's only one time when a few beans are lost, they'll always try to get them back.

It left her both amused and exasperated.

"Why don't you just fight me?" Xu Jiaheng asked, looking at Fang Yuan.

Although he had wasted the previous few years, he was overjoyed to have Fang Yuan's tacit approval to get close to him this time.

Now that I finally have the chance to get closer to her, I don't want anyone else to get in the middle of them.

"This is a mahjong game for four people, how can two people play?" Fang Yuan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this.

This guy was probably just pretending to be taciturn before.

They can say all sorts of shameless things with a straight face.

"Two people can play too. We can play one less suit, or we can play chess, or I can play the piano for you..."

Xu Jiaheng, thinking about what the two of them could do, planned to have a long talk with her.

"Stop, let's talk about this later. There's a storm raging outside, why don't you go back to the Crystal Palace and rest?" Fang Yuan quickly asked.

Before setting sail, she had inquired about the travel time, which would take more than half a year.

So after boarding the ship, she told the people that they could go to the Crystal Palace to rest.

With the storm raging and the ship rocking violently, she could put most of the people inside.

"No, this storm is very strong, and there might be an emergency later. I'll feel more at ease if I stay outside and keep watch."

Xu Jiaheng shook his head and looked out the window.

Even if Fang Yuan falls into the water and is unharmed during strong winds and heavy rain, he would still feel distressed if the boat bumped or hit him while rocking.

Moreover, while their ships were not afraid, the other ships in the fleet were a different story.

They might even have to go into the sea to rescue people.

"What you said makes sense. If there's trouble ahead, we can go rescue people and take the opportunity to make some friends with them."

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of this, if she saved these people's lives.

Then she will be their savior, and they will definitely benefit a lot when they get there.

“Okay! I’ll keep an eye on the fleet ahead.” Xu Jiaheng nodded.

He would do whatever Fang Yuan wanted to do.

"Put this on."

Fang Yuan thought for a moment, then took out a necklace made of a small, exquisite ball of gold and handed it to him.

"What's this?"

Xu Jiaheng took the ball with some curiosity and asked.

“There’s a water-repelling bead inside, with the same effect as the bubbles in the Crystal Palace. I’m just wearing it to be safe, in case I don’t notice it later,” Fang Yuan replied.

Since the Crystal Palace wasn't released, the bubble naturally couldn't be released either.

These water-repellent beads are more convenient than bubbles, and they can keep your clothes dry even when you go into the water, which is essential for his survival.

She obtained this water-repelling bead when she opened the Fairy Tale Inn.

She found them among seashells and conches; she still has dozens.

"I will definitely keep this safe!"

Xu Jiaheng couldn't help but smile, and then carefully put the little golden ball around his neck.

Just then, another giant wave crashed in.

Following the system's prompts, Fang Yuan released his mental energy and took control of the entire ship.

Those on the ship watching outside noticed a huge wave crashing in, but it vanished without a trace.

Everyone was initially startled, but then they realized what their master had done.

They then relaxed and went back to doing their own thing.

As for what Xu and San had said earlier, they didn't pay any attention to it and just went about their business.

It must be said that Fang Yuan's existence gave them unparalleled confidence.

However, the other ships were not so lucky.

Several more huge waves crashed in, and one of the ships finally succumbed to the wind and waves and capsized.

"Master, a ship has capsized ahead!" Xu Qi's voice came from outside the cabin.

"Quick, let's go out and take a look!" Fang Yuan opened the cabin door and went out.

Outside the cabin, a fierce storm raged, and all the ships ahead were rocking violently.

Fortunately, their ship was at the very back, and these people didn't notice anything unusual about their vessel.

“The ship’s hull broke!” Xu Jiaheng said with certainty.

"So that means it's 100% going to sink?" Fang Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the ship.

She knows very well that there are good things on this ship, so does that mean she can take the ship away?

"Find some wood and throw it down, we'll go get them!" Xu Jiaheng turned to Xu Liu and the others and ordered.
