Several wind chimes hung under the eaves, making a crisp and melodious sound in the sea breeze.
"This...this is too amazing!" Rong Zhiyuan's eyes widened as he reached out and touched the wall of the wooden house. The touch was real and warm, and it even carried a faint scent of wood. "Jiaojiao, this isn't magic, is it?"
"No, brother, this was specially made for me by my master so that it would be easier for me to go out."
“I’ve never lived here before, this is my first time using it, don’t you feel honored, bro?” Rong Jiaojiao winked mischievously, pushed open the carved wooden door, the hinges making a slight “creak” sound, “Brother, come in and have a look!”
Rong Zhiyuan, playing along with her quirky attitude, said, "It's my honor!"
Haha~~
The two laughed as they entered the cabin. The cabin was much larger inside than it appeared from the outside, but it contained a bedroom and a kitchen.
Inside the room, a wooden bed covered with soft bedding sat by the window. The bedding was embroidered with delicate patterns and looked soft and comfortable.
Several potted plants with glowing petals sat on the windowsill, their petals swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a soft light.
There was a small stove in the corner, and a small teapot on the stove, as if the aroma of tea would rise from it at any moment.
Rong Zhiyuan wandered around the room like a curious child, exclaiming from time to time: "These flowers glow! This blanket is actually cool to the touch."
Rong Jiaojiao was amused by her brother's reaction, waved her hand to light the tea stove, and the water boiled in no time.
Rong Jiaojiao brewed a pot of herbal tea, poured a cup and placed it on the table, saying, "Second Brother, come and try it. This is Master's special spiritual tea, which can nourish the soul."
The brother and sister sat at a small table by the window, drinking tea and chatting.
Moonlight streamed through the window, bathing the room in a silvery glow, as if draping everything in a dreamlike veil.
The two chatted and drank until the tea was tasteless before stopping to cultivate themselves.
Rong Zhiyuan felt that he would no longer feel drowsy and tired during his practice tonight.
As night deepened, a gentle sea breeze caressed the cabin, which appeared exceptionally tranquil under the moonlight.
The brother and sister were so engrossed in their cultivation that they completely forgot about the passage of time.
After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually began to lighten with the pale light of dawn.
The first rays of sunlight fell on the beach and into the cabin. Rong Zhiyuan was the first to open his eyes, stretched, and felt full of energy.
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, wake up!" He gently nudged his younger sister who was still cultivating.
Rong Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and revealed a sweet smile: "Brother, you've finished your cultivation too?"
"Yeah, I feel so much more refreshed," Rong Zhiyuan said excitedly. "It feels like training here is much better than in the military camp."
Rong Jiaojiao said, "This place is far from people, the air is fresh, and you've also drunk the spiritual tea, so the effects are naturally different."
He stood up and straightened his clothes. "Brother, let's go diving today and find the best seafood!"
"Okay!" Rong Zhiyuan immediately perked up; he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. "I'll take you to a really great place where the seafood is incredibly fresh, and there's a huge variety!"
The two quickly packed up their belongings, put away the cabin, untied the mooring ropes, and sailed the boat towards the distant sea.
Sunlight spilled onto the shimmering sea, and waves gently lapped against the hull, making a soft "whoosh" sound. Rong Jiaojiao once again used her spiritual power to propel the small boat forward.
Before long, they arrived at the underwater reef that Rong Zhiyuan had mentioned.
"This is it!" Rong Zhiyuan pointed ahead, his eyes full of anticipation. "There's a huge coral reef under the underwater reef, and lots of good things are hidden inside!"
Rong Jiaojiao looked at the sea in front of her, but all she could see was a dark expanse underwater, and she couldn't make out what was underneath.
Rong Jiaojiao took out a fasting pill and gave one to Rong Zhiyuan, then ate one herself.
She then took out a diving suit from her sleeve and handed it to Rong Zhiyuan: "Brother, this is a diving talisman that Master gave me. It can waterproof and keep you warm."
Rong Jiaojiao said proudly, "Wearing this, I don't have to worry about going into the water."
Rong Zhiyuan refused: "You wear it yourself, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Rong Jiaojiao waved her hand, set up a barrier around herself, then put her legs into the water and lifted them up again, her legs still dry.
Rong Zhiyuan then put on the diving suit, feeling completely wrapped up, both warm and comfortable.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Qingxuan is truly amazing; he can even make something like this!"
"Of course!" Rong Jiaojiao smiled, then created an air shield above Rong Zhiyuan's and her own heads before jumping into the sea first.
Wow, the water is so cold this morning!
Rong Zhiyuan also jumped in, but he quickly adapted because the wetsuit was indeed very warm.
The two slowly sank into the sea, and as they went deeper, the surrounding scenery became more and more beautiful.
Both of them had excellent eyesight and could see the different shapes of the coral reefs on the seabed very clearly.
Some resemble blooming flowers, some resemble winding branches, and some resemble small hills.
Colorful fish dart among the coral reefs, and occasionally you can see small shrimp and crabs crawling on the rocks.
Rong Zhiyuan pointed ahead, silently gesturing to Rong Jiaojiao.
Rong Jiaojiao followed his finger and saw a large sea cucumber lazily lying on the reef, with some small fish swimming around it.
The large sea cucumber is several times larger than the ordinary sea cucumber, and its color is also deeper, making it look very tempting.
"This sea cucumber looks huge!" Rong Zhiyuan couldn't help but swallow hard. "If I could catch it, I could make a pot of sea cucumber soup for my parents when I get back. They would be overjoyed!"
Rong Zhiyuan spoke inside his air shield, which Rong Jiaojiao couldn't hear, but she roughly understood what he meant.
Rong Jiaojiao nodded; she too recognized the extraordinary nature of this giant sea cucumber.
It must have lived in the deep sea and was brought here by the aftermath of a previous battle.
Rong Jiaojiao didn't use her spiritual power; she just reached out and grabbed the seafood. She wanted to experience the tension of catching seafood, the fear that it might run away, and the satisfaction of catching it.
Just as Rong Jiaojiao's hand was about to touch the sea cucumber, it suddenly moved, as if it had sensed danger.
Rong Jiaojiao's heart tightened, but she didn't panic. Instead, she quickly grabbed it in her hand.
Her fingers lightly touched the surface of the sea cucumber, then she quickly and precisely grabbed it and lifted it up.
Rong Zhiyuan waved his arms excitedly. Although he couldn't make a sound underwater, his expression fully conveyed his joy.
Rong Jiaojiao was also very happy and lifted the sea cucumber high, letting it float in the water.
The sea cucumber twitched a few times in her hand, seemingly struggling, but quickly calmed down.
