After trimming its fur, the Cotton Ice Beast quickly left.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Xiao Tao sent a message the night before, saying that a carriage would come to pick her up around 10 a.m. the next morning.
Early in the morning, Shen Zhiyi released Xiao Lan and Xiao Qing, instructing them to guard the house together with the Soul-Devouring Vine.
The carriage that came to pick her up was the same white horse as last time.
Bai Ma was very happy to see Shen Zhiyi.
It remembered that this human had given it delicious fruit last time.
"It's you again." Shen Zhiyi patted its head, took a banana from her backpack and fed it, then got into the carriage.
The interior of the carriage has undergone some changes; the cushions have become softer, and the snacks on the small table are more delicate and delicious.
Shen Zhiyi knew at a glance that it was Xiao Tao who had given the order.
The journey was the same as last time, and we arrived at Pikkale Island almost at dusk.
Due to typhoons and sandstorms, her nebula is farther away than that of Jiale Island, and the journey takes longer.
Xiao Tao had been waiting at the dock for a long time. When the carriage carrying Shen Zhiyi finally arrived, she quickly went up to greet it.
"Miss Chen, you've finally arrived." Xiao Tao opened the car door for her.
After getting off the carriage, Shen Zhiyi stretched and said, "We've finally arrived. I was almost exhausted after sitting in the carriage for several hours."
Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Then let's go to the hotel to rest first? Tomorrow afternoon, the Holy Maiden and the merchant will set off with us to Peach Blossom Island."
Shen Zhiyi nodded and followed Xiao Tao to the hotel where they had stayed last time.
After arriving at the room, Xiao Tao said, "Someone will bring the food up in a little while, Miss Shen, please rest for a while."
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. I'll call you if I need anything."
Xiao Tao closed the door for Shen Zhiyi and left.
After Xiao Tao left, Shen Zhiyi collapsed onto the bed without any regard for her image.
She hadn't ridden in a car for so long in a long time; her butt was almost numb.
I lay there for a while when I was woken up by a knock on the door.
Shen Zhiyi got up, thinking that the waiter must have come to bring the food.
Upon opening the door, one sees an intelligent robot holding two trays, each containing a specialty food from Biga Island.
The intelligent robot is quite cute; it was made by humans into the shape of an adorable rabbit.
"Hello, Miss Shen, this is the dinner I've prepared for you." A cute, mechanical voice sounded.
The intelligent robot moved the tray forward, asking, "Do you need me to take this to the room?"
Shen Zhiyi simply took the tray from her. "No need, I can carry it myself."
The intelligent robot lowered its arm and said, "Okay, enjoy your meal."
After saying that, the intelligent robot turned around and left.
Shen Zhiyi closed the door and placed the tray on the table.
Last time I came, I was in such a rush that I didn't have a chance to properly enjoy the food on Pikkale Island.
After taking a couple of bites, she thought it tasted even better than the food on Jiale Island.
I rested for a night.
Xiao Tao came over and invited Shen Zhiyi to go out for a walk. She also told Shen Zhiyi that they would probably set off for Peach Blossom Island around 1 p.m.
"Xiao Tao, can you tell me about the situation on Peach Blossom Island?"
"Of course you can." Xiao Tao began to explain to Shen Zhiyi the things to pay attention to on Peach Blossom Island.
"Before you go to Peach Blossom Island, you must have a Peach Blossom Token, but Miss Shen, don't worry, the merchant has already prepared one for you."
"On Peach Blossom Island, you must not damage the peach trees. There is a tribe on Peach Blossom Island, also called the Peach Blossom Tribe."
"Legend has it that the Peach Blossom Clan is a group of people transformed from peach trees on Peach Blossom Island, but we don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, that's what everyone says, and no one will investigate it further."
"At the Peach Blossom Feast, the Peach Blossom tribe members will share their homemade peach blossom wine and other delicacies with everyone."
“Other people who go to Peach Blossom Island will also bring new delicacies from their own islands to share with everyone. Miss Shen can also consider this a food exchange event.”
"On the highest peak of Peach Blossom Island, there is a Peach Blossom King. They say that if you make a wish to the Peach Blossom King, it will come true."
"However, I have never been there, and climbing to the top is not an easy task."
Shen Zhiyi nodded, having roughly understood some of the things about the peach blossoms.
After strolling around, Xiao Tao took Shen Zhiyi to lunch and then headed to the pier.
They traveled to Peach Blossom Island by ship.
After boarding the ship, Luo Qingxin and the wandering merchant were already there.
"Beautiful Miss Shen, it's been a long time." The bard merchant gave Shen Zhiyi a gentlemanly bow.
Luo Qingyun also greeted Shen Zhiyi.
"It has indeed been a while since we last met." Shen Zhiyi smiled. "How have you two been lately? Are you still very busy?"
Luo Qingyun and the wandering merchant exchanged a glance and sighed: "We've been quite busy lately, assisting the guards of other islands in capturing mechanical dolls."
"And regarding Miss Shen's suggestion last time, we had already captured a perfectly intact mechanical doll, but unexpectedly, it was still destroyed."
Shen Zhiyi said with some regret, "It's a bit of a pity."
The bard frowned. "I suspect that Luo Qingyun knew we wanted to capture intact mechanical dolls, so she deliberately damaged all the dolls we captured."
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then said, "This is not impossible."
With Luo Qingyun hiding so well, plus the mechanical puppets scattered across various islands, and the spies planted on each island, it's quite easy to find out what's going on.
"It's alright. After participating in the Peach Blossom Luck event, I'll stay on Bigal Island for a few days to see if I can catch a intact mechanical doll."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi quickly made a decision.
Luo Qingxin was pleasantly surprised, "That's good too, so we can discuss things promptly if anything happens."
"By the way, when you and Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ji were in interstellar space, you didn't encounter any mechanical puppets, did you?" Luo Qingxin suddenly remembered this and quickly asked.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head. "No, there have been typhoons or sandstorms in the interstellar space recently. I don't think Luo Qingyun would be so stupid as to attack us at this time."
Luo Qingxin and the wandering merchant both breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
After all, the star system was not under their jurisdiction. If Luo Qingyun wanted to do something to them in interstellar space, they would not have time to provide support.
Moreover, interstellar space is simply too vast; once Luo Qingyun escapes, they will have no chance of catching her.
Luo Qingxin didn't continue the topic. "Peach Blossom Island isn't far from Bigale Island. It takes about three hours to get there."
"If Miss Shen is tired, she can go to the cabin to rest for a while."
Shen Zhiyi was prone to seasickness, so she agreed to Luo Qingxin's arrangement and followed Xiao Tao into the cabin.
