Seeing her worried expression, Qin Luo comforted her for a while before she could finally relax.
Then, he explained to her everything about the gate and the key to the treasure vault.
That evening, she was asked to say a proper goodbye to the white wolf, and only the next day did she bring the four little ones with her.
Watched by all the disciples of the Floating Pagoda Sect, they boarded the flying boat and headed towards the Endless Sea.
This was Qin Luo and her companions' first time riding a flying boat, and also their first time truly appreciating the scenery above the clouds.
Before, when looking up from the ground, all I could see was a hazy grayness.
But above these clouds, a completely different world unfolds.
The sky was covered with five-colored clouds, as beautiful as brocade woven by an embroiderer.
It seemed as if all things were bathed in this mysterious and peaceful radiance.
The four little ones ran back and forth on the airship.
One moment I want to touch the clouds, the next I want to catch the beam of light.
Qin Luo then obediently embedded spirit stones into the flying boat, which had been meticulously crafted by Xin Yuanqian and the elders.
Named "Lingxiao Ying," the boat's hull is engraved with intricate runes.
Each stroke of their brush imbued with their magical cultivation, allowing them to traverse the sea of clouds with unwavering stability and the ability to cover thousands of miles in an instant.
As the airship accelerated, the flowing clouds beside it flashed by.
The group was both tense and excited, and their laughter gradually grew louder.
Qin Luo took out a recording stone and recorded the whole scene.
Half a month later, before the flying boat passed through the barrier...
Qin Luo sent Wu Hua and the little ones back to the space.
Wu Hua didn't argue with her and obediently went inside.
After Qin Luo passed through the barrier, he asked Wu Hua if her energy had been absorbed.
Wu Hua first led Tengteng and the others out, then nodded helplessly.
"I was sucked in, but only I was. Tengteng and the other two beasts, including Maomao, were all fine. How about you?"
Qin Luo carefully examined himself but didn't detect anything amiss.
"I'm fine, I didn't even feel my powers being drained."
Wu Hua was almost depressed to death upon hearing this.
"Why am I the only one? Even Bai Lang and Shu were unharmed this time."
Qin Luo pinched her cheek, channeling energy into him while analyzing the situation with him.
"Perhaps it's because you're the master of this space. It's a pleasant surprise that they're all alright. You should quickly adjust your breathing and try to recover as much as you can."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua realized she was right and immediately sat down, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
He frantically absorbed the energy Qin Luo had injected into him, and after a short while, he opened his eyes.
After reassuring everyone that they were alright, the group finally had the mind to look around.
The first thing that catches the eye is a vast and boundless sea.
That was the Endless Sea that Shu had mentioned. Qin Luo walked to the front of the flying boat and looked down.
The sea surface shimmered, as if sprinkled with stars.
Unlike ordinary seas, the water here displays varying shades of blue.
Looking down from the boat, it seemed as if the entire ocean was breathing.
As if they were alive, a few giant seaweed swayed occasionally with the waves.
It shimmered with an eerie light, like a lamp on the seabed.
As Qin Luo was immersed in this magnificence and tranquility, a distant and ancient song rang out.
Suddenly, it came from the horizon; the voice had a summons-like quality to it.
And it carried a hint of indescribable sorrow.
Qin Luo exchanged glances with the four little ones, feeling both excited and wary.
They knew that the merfolk were trying to bewitch them with their songs.
What the mermaids didn't expect was that their supposedly beautiful songs...
To Qin Luo and the others, it was only slightly better than squeaking and yelling.
They weren't fooled by the singing; instead, they kept finding fault with it.
Qin Luo listened with her eyes closed for a while, then shook her head in disappointment.
"The pitch was too high, the previous note was too high, which caused all the subsequent notes to crack."
Wu Hua imitated her and began to show her disdain.
"That's right, she has absolutely no musical talent and sings so terribly. Surely no one would actually be fooled by this kind of singing?"
Tengteng and Pineapple didn't understand music, but they still went along with the two of them.
Only the sprout, she cleared her throat and began to sing loudly towards the sea.
The melody is melodious and captivating, its sound striking straight to the soul; all living beings who hear this music...
He felt that his soul had been completely freed from the shackles of the world.
We shouldn't be confined to our physical bodies; we should have aspirations at a higher level.
Before the budding seedlings could finish their chanting, the mermaids leaped out of the sea.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua looked down again, and well, it was simply unbearable to look at.
The descriptions of Shuhe and Bailang are too polite; this is hardly like a water ghost.
"This is even worse than a water ghost," Wu Hua complained with a look of utter disgust.
"See, I told you so. This thing is some kind of imposter. Its face looks like rotting flesh, and its voice sounds like a broken bellows. How can it be related to a mermaid?"
Although Qin Luo had never seen a real merman, he had watched quite a few cartoons since he was a child.
No matter how she compared them in her mind, they were all except for their tails.
There's nothing that can compare to merfolk.
“Little one, let’s find an island to stop on first, and then ask around among the other sea creatures to see what these ugly fish have been up to lately.”
"Okay, hurry up, I don't want to look at it for even a second longer."
"Yes, we don't want to watch it either, it's too disgusting."
The three little ones were incredibly excited from the moment they saw the merman.
It only took less than 15 minutes for him to go from utter disgust to complete dislike.
Seeing their eagerness to escape, Qin Luo smiled and embedded a few top-grade spirit stones into the flying boat.
Then, as if injected with adrenaline, the flying boat vanished from the merfolk's sight in a flash.
