"Watch out!" Rong Jiaojiao warned, but it was clearly too late.
The crab's large pincers clamped down hard on his finger. Mo Bai tapped the crab's shell with his finger, and the crab immediately released its grip, but a small mark was still left on his finger.
Rong Jiaojiao pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh. This person was a complete novice in life.
Mo Bai gave an awkward snort, threw the crab into the sea, and went to the side.
Before long, he came out carrying a very large octopus. He used his spiritual power to bind the octopus's tentacles, making it unable to move.
He handed it to Rong Jiaojiao: "Fellow Daoist Rong, what is this?"
"Not bad, such a big octopus. It will taste great if we grill it tonight."
"for you."
"No, I'll find it myself."
"I don't know how to grill," Mo Bai said somewhat guiltily. Seeing Rong Jiaojiao's displeasure, he quickly added, "But I can do other things, like catching and cleaning."
Rong Jiaojiao's expression improved, and she took the food, saying, "Okay, let's have seafood tonight."
The two found a lot of fish, shrimp and shellfish on the rocky beach. Rong Jiaojiao checked the time and said to Mo Bai, "Fellow Daoist Mo, this is enough for us to eat, and it's about time. Let's go to the military camp to find my brother."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the air vibrate, and a figure appeared on the reef.
Rong Jiaojiao stared intently: "Senior Shu Lang?"
Shu Lang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Rong... young friend? Your surname is Rong, right?"
At this moment, Mo Zhizhou also landed on the reef. He glanced at Shu Lang, who was in the late stage of the Earth Master realm, and asked Rong Jiaojiao, "Do you two know each other?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and introduced the three of them: "This is also a senior member of the inspection team, Shu Lang."
Then he introduced them to Shu Lang: "These two are surnamed Mo, seniors Mo Bai and Mo Zhizhou."
Shu Lang was somewhat surprised. He looked at Mo Bai and asked, "Aren't you two the young master of the Mo family, Mo Bai, and the elder of the Mo family?"
Mo Zhizhou nodded with a smile, while Shu Lang smiled and pointed to the military camp in the distance: "A fellow Daoist and I were assigned to guard this seaside, so we settled down in the military camp."
“I was passing by here on my way back from patrolling, and the little girl looked like Rong Xiaoyou, so I came down. I didn’t expect it to be her.”
Rong Jiaojiao asked, "Senior Shu, have you been here the whole time? Has anything else happened since that incident?"
Shu Lang shook his head: "That's all."
Looking at the three people who had appeared there, he asked curiously, "What brings the three of you here?"
Rong Jiaojiao replied with a smile, "I came to see my brother. Fellow Daoist Mo wanted to see the sea, so we came together to play."
“I see. The three of you can come with me to the military camp. We have a separate courtyard there, so it will be convenient for you to see your brother if you want to.”
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Is that possible?"
Shu Lang laughed heartily: "Of course you can. I saw you picked up some seafood. We have a separate courtyard where you can cook your own food."
Rong Jiaojiao clapped her hands happily: "Great!" She turned to look at Mo Bai and Mo Zhizhou, "Shall we go?"
Mo Bai shrugged: "I have no objection, as long as there's food."
Mo Zhizhou nodded gently: "When in Rome, do as the host does."
With a "woof," Zi Ling jumped onto Rong Jiaojiao's shoulder, waving her little paws excitedly, clearly also looking forward to it.
The group followed Shu Lang toward the military camp.
On the way, Shu Lang asked curiously, "Rong, which camp is your brother in?"
“My second brother is in the 10th Battalion,” Rong Jiaojiao proudly puffed out her chest, “His name is Rong Zhiyuan!”
Shu Lang nodded: "So you're from the 10th Battalion. They're all experts in the water."
Rong Jiaojiao immediately beamed: "My second brother must be the most powerful one, hehe, I just don't know if he's in the army camp."
“They should be,” Shu Lang said, glancing at the sky. “They just finished training around this time.”
As they talked, they soon arrived at the military camp. Shu Lang led the three to register. When the soldiers saw that the three had come in with Shu Lang and that their documents had the official seal of a special department, they did not stop them.
Rong Jiaojiao said to the soldiers on guard, "Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, could you please help me inform Rong Zhiyuan of the Third Company of the Tenth Battalion that his sister has come to see him and that he should go to..." She turned to Shu Lang and asked, "Senior Shu, where is your residence located?"
“It’s in the courtyard at the very far west corner,” Shu Lang added with a smile.
The soldier on guard picked up the internal phone to help make the notification, and then said to them, "Comrades, the notification has been made, he will come to you in a while."
Rong Jiaojiao thanked him and followed Shu Lang into the military camp.
After passing through the neat barracks, Shu Lang led the three to a secluded courtyard.
Several green bamboos grow in the courtyard, and tea sets are placed on the stone table, giving it a secluded and idyllic feel.
“This is where we live,” Shu Lang said, pushing open the door. “The conditions are simple, but it’s quiet.”
The courtyard is small, with three main rooms and a kitchen, typical of a rural courtyard.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the house. He was rather thin and wore a Zhongshan suit, giving him a very gentle and refined appearance.
Shu Lang greeted him with a smile and said, "Come, come, Shen Rui, let me introduce you to three fellow practitioners."
He then introduced the two parties, and they exchanged greetings. Shen Ruiren was as easygoing as he appeared. Upon learning that Rong Jiaojiao had come to see her brother, he invited her to stay for a few more days.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
A dark-skinned, tall man strode in, his training uniform still damp, clearly having just arrived from the training field.
"Jiaojiao!" Rong Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise, rushing over to his sister in a few quick steps. "Why did you suddenly come?"
Rong Jiaojiao, like a cheerful little bird, ran over and hugged Rong Zhiyuan's arm, saying, "Second Brother! I missed you! I came here especially to see you, aren't you happy?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy!"
Rong Jiaojiao used several cleansing spells on him, and Rong Zhiyuan was immediately clean.
She then took Rong Zhiyuan's hand, turned around and introduced them, "This is Fellow Daoist Mo Bai, and this is Senior Mo Zhizhou. They came with me."
"These two are Senior Shu Lang and Senior Shen Rui. They both work for special departments."
Rong Zhiyuan immediately straightened his expression and gave the group a standard military salute: "Greetings, gentlemen, I am Rong Zhiyuan."
Mo Bai curiously examined Rong Zhiyuan's naval uniform and asked, "Second Brother Rong, what is your rank? I can't tell."
Rong Zhiyuan replied, "I'm just a class monitor."
Shu Lang gestured, "Everyone, sit down and let's talk!"
Rong Zhiyuan said, "Isn't everyone hungry? How about I go to the cafeteria and get some food?"
He noticed how much thinner his sister had become, and the warm moments they shared in the military camp...
"No need, no need!" Rong Jiaojiao quickly grabbed her second brother's arm, took out a wooden bucket full of seafood from her storage bag, and said like she was showing off a treasure, "Look, we caught a lot of seafood, we'll cook it ourselves tonight!"
