evening.
Two red and blue "Magnet" ships crisscrossed the sea, heading towards the "Zhou Family Sea Area".
Zhou Zhong stood inside a ship's cabin, looking at the [Magnet] sailing directly ahead with a surprised expression.
"Um?"
"My little sister seems...very happy today..."
The stern in front of him kept swaying, like a girl skipping and hopping as she walked, and Zhou Zhong looked puzzled.
My own younger sister is always sharp-tongued, but when something happens, she adopts a "laissez-faire" attitude.
In the previous arranged marriages her family had arranged, she would exchange pleasantries with her prospective spouse upon meeting them and even provide them with "driving experiences." She seemed to have a rather nonchalant, "whatever" attitude towards life.
But today, it's as if it has a soul.
“Ah Zhong…”
Is she in a relationship?
In the captain's cabin, a calm female voice rang out, and Zhou Zhong raised an eyebrow.
"No way?"
"With my little sister's temper, she looks down on everyone..."
"Only her father could make her submit and obediently go through with the arranged marriage. Then she'd just give him the cold shoulder and ignore him..."
"hiss..."
"Could something have gone wrong because I asked her to go see Zheng Hao today?"
Zhou Zhong's expression changed, and he felt a strange sense of defeat, as if he had "picked the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon".
"Zheng Hao?"
Didn't you send your little sister to exchange for "shipping skills"?
"She can fall in love with someone in such a short time?"
The boatwoman's voice also sounded somewhat incredulous. Zhou Zhong shook his head: "Whether she likes him or not doesn't matter... If she really likes Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao doesn't mistreat her, I think it's fine..."
"It's better than her silently marrying into the family with a sour face and a miserable life!"
As Zhou Zhong's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, his gaze towards the [Magnet] gradually softened.
Zhou Suxin, that's his own sister.
Unlike Zhou Hang, who had a nefarious lineage, Zhou Zhong was very concerned about his younger sister's situation.
To put it bluntly.
He had absolutely no grudge against Zheng Hao.
To be honest, I secretly learned a lot of Zheng Hao's boating skills, so he could be considered half my teacher.
He wouldn't object at all if Zhou Suxin went with Zheng Hao.
certainly...
This is the situation within the Zhou family, under Zhou Zhong's control.
If Zhou Hang were in charge of the family now, let alone Zhou Suxin wanting to control her own destiny, even Zhou Zhong would have to obey his orders!
"Um..."
"If that's the case, what are we going to do about the marriage ceremony tomorrow night...?"
Zhou Zhong scratched his head, his eyes filled with melancholy...
"How about we try to persuade Dad?"
"Put-put-put~"
Under the moonlight, two ship girls slowly sailed into the Zhou family's sea area...
......
[Zhoujia Sea Area].
Compared to the Zheng Family Sea Area, the Zhou Family Sea Area is actually smaller in size, but its internal structure is more luxurious and complex.
Almost every ship with its "linked iron chains" is decorated with many small crafts, making it look quite grand.
Beneath the main ship bearing the "Zhou Family" sign, a strange-looking vessel was now abruptly moored.
This ship is nearly 26 meters long, nearly 6 meters wide, and has a mast that is 23 meters high, making it a standard "large ship girl".
Its entire body was covered with damp moss, and wild grass and flowers grew all around the hull.
When the sea breeze blows, the ship will emit a unique medicinal fragrance.
An ordinary person, upon closer inspection, might think this ship was some rotten, abandoned vessel, overgrown with moss. But... Zhou Zhong's expression shifted dramatically after just one glance.
"this..."
"This is an S-rank ship girl?"
"【Pharmacist Ship】?"
"Put-put-put~"
As Zhou Zhong gradually approached the [Pharmacist Ship], he could clearly feel that once he inhaled the medicinal fragrance, his head began to feel dizzy.
He squinted at the [Pharmacist Ship], not understanding why the Zhou family would send such a [ship girl].
at the same time.
[Zhou Family Reception Hall]
"Hey..."
"I never expected that the renowned ship repairman Jiang Yao from the Merchant Shipping Alliance would be a guest at my residence!"
"Your presence today truly brings honor to my humble abode!"
Zhou Yuanshan, dressed in a luxurious robe, sat upright in the central armchair, cupped his hands towards Jiang Yao, who was sitting to the side, and raised the tea on the table.
After the two took a sip of tea from each other, Zhou Yuanshan looked at Jiang Yao jokingly.
"have no idea..."
"Miss Jiang, what brings you here today is..."
"cooperate!"
"Oh?! What kind of collaboration?!"
Jiang Yao’s calm and unhurried voice came over, and Zhou Yuanshan’s cloudy old eyes immediately lit up!
"I would like to cooperate with your esteemed organization and provide you with [Repair Potions] on a regular basis in exchange for your help in expanding the sales channels of [Azure Domain]."
"Huh?"
"What do you want me to do?"
A slight smile slowly spread across his lips.
Zhou Yuanshan is not stupid.
He knew very well that the Merchant Shipping Alliance wouldn't give him business for no reason... They wouldn't come without a reason, so they probably had some kind of request in mind!
"clever!"
"As expected of the [King of the Distant Mountains]... I have only two conditions for coming here this time. First, given the resources of your Zhou family, you should already know the terrain, roster, and rewards for the [Azure Domain Relay Race]."
"I want a map of the tournament, and a list of the prizes for this event."
