"Brother Liu, is the master buying such a big boat so that we'll all live on it from now on?" Xu Qi asked Xu Liu excitedly.
This ship is really big; he'd never had the chance to ride in a ship like this before!
"Yes, this ship is so big, it must be able to accommodate quite a few people, right?" Xu Baye asked with a happy expression.
I originally thought it was just a regular merchant ship purchase, but I never expected this lord to be so extravagant.
"Keep your mouths shut. We're going to Pearl Island by boat. Everyone can rest on the boat for a while," Xu Liu instructed.
"Really? That's great! This ship must be expensive, right?" Xu Qi asked again.
I never expected that the goddess would buy such a big ship. She is truly generous.
"Not only that, the master also ordered a similarly large merchant ship. Didn't you see that Miss Qin came with us?"
A goddess is a goddess indeed; she managed to secure connections with the Qin family in just one trip.
Thinking of this, Xu Liu felt a sense of pride.
The distance between Pearl Island and Kyushu Island is not much different from the distance between Biluo Island and Pearl Island.
The ship will take a month to set sail.
After the initial novelty wore off, the group quickly grew bored upon returning to the surface.
The two embroiderers even took the initiative to approach Fang Yuan and asked to return to the palace.
The ship is too bumpy; it's not good for them to embroider on board. It would be much more comfortable for them to stay in the palace!
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and then escorted the two into the Crystal Palace.
Then he looked at the others and asked, "Are you all bored?"
"Sir, the crabs around here are quite good. How about I go into the water and catch a few fresh ones for you to eat?" Xu Qi said in a low voice.
He was indeed getting bored; there was really nothing for him to do on the ship.
“Our ship is always moving; if you get off, we might not be able to catch up.”
Although the ship was not moving very fast at sea, it was still moving nonetheless.
If this guy really goes for a stroll in the sea, he might get lost.
"Xu Qi!" Xu Jiaheng called out to him.
Seeing this, Xu Qi quickly replied:
"Don't worry, sir, I won't hold you back."
"As the saying goes, 'An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one.' Once we get to Pearl Island, you'll have plenty of time to wander around," Fang Yuan said.
Seeing that everyone else was indeed bored, she thought for a moment, then took out some wood and asked them to cut it into small cubes to make mahjong tiles.
"Bang! Seven of them!"
"I won!"
"······"
Looking at the group of people who were having so much fun playing cards, Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Ever since she taught these people how to play mahjong, everyone on the boat has been sitting together and playing whenever they have free time.
The room on her ship was quite large, and the square table in the room was turned into a mahjong table.
If it weren't for the occasional rocking of the ship and the salty, fishy smell in the cabin, this group of people would have looked like they were in a mahjong parlor.
Fang Yuan only goes to fight occasionally. The ship is always rocking and smells fishy, so she spends most of her time in her spatial dimension!
Although her space could be placed in water, it isolated all unpleasant odors.
She grows vegetables and fruits in her spatial storage bag and then stores them in the palace's storeroom for her to eat.
Even Qin Shengnan was incredibly curious about these fruits.
About a month later, we finally arrived at Pearl Island.
Just like I remember, the island is very round, looking like a big pearl.
In addition, the surrounding waters are rich in pearls, making Pearl Island truly deserving of its name.
"Is this Pearl Island? This island doesn't look small at all!"
Upon seeing Pearl Island, Qin Shengnan, unusually, did not play mahjong.
She looked at the island in front of her with delight, because it was her first time here.
"There are so many boats at that dock, are they all here to dig for pearls?"
"Our ship is the biggest!"
The group discussed the matter, each offering their own opinion.
Fang Yuan was in a good mood looking at the island.
“Sir, this is our first time here, so we need to register and report it. It would be best if we could also leave someone to guard it,” Xu Jiaheng said.
“Okay, you can arrange it. The guards will be given a few days off as a reward.” Fang Yuan nodded in reply.
The islanders care most about their boats, so the management of boats here is very strict.
There was basically no petty theft, because everyone made their living by boat, and getting caught meant committing a serious crime.
Their ship is considered one of the best here, and the people on the dock are probably already guessing who these important figures are.
As soon as the large ship docked at the pier, a large number of people were waiting there to greet her, a stark contrast to the treatment she received when she went to Samsung Island.
"May I ask who your distinguished guests are on board? Your presence from afar brings great honor to our Pearl Island. Are you here to buy pearls?"
Looking at the fawning men, Fang Yuan was unsure whether to agree or disagree. She then looked at Xu Jiaheng.
"My master's surname is Fang, and he comes from Kyushu Island. He is indeed here to do business. I wonder if we could meet the island lord?"
Seeing Fang Yuan looking at him, Xu Jiaheng took a step forward and spoke.
"This... I don't know which family it is, Fang or Fang? My island master is a bit of a busybody..." the steward replied apologetically.
The Fang family was not on his list of important guests, so he could not take them to see the island lord without permission.
At the very least, he wouldn't help take them to meet someone unless there was something in return.
"I am Qin Shengnan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family head of Kyushu Island. I have come to pay a visit to your island lord."
Seeing this, Qin Shengnan took out the token her father had given her and gestured to it.
It seems the owner of Pearl Island also ordered one of the Qin family's ships, but it hasn't been delivered yet. She doesn't believe these people don't recognize her Qin family.
"So it's Miss Qin. You've come from afar. My island lord is extremely hospitable. Please come in!"
The manager quickly changed his attitude and said with a smile.
"Sister Yuanyuan, these people are really blind to talent. Let's not bother with them and go!"
Qin Shengnan stepped forward and hugged Fang Yuan's arm to comfort him.
"Alright, your Qin family has a lot of influence. I'm benefiting from your influence," Fang Yuan replied with amusement.
"·····"
Xu Jiaheng behind him pursed his lips, his expression darkening.
"Sister Yuanyuan, this Pearl Island doesn't look special at all. I thought it was full of pearls!"
Qin Shengnan looked around the island lord's mansion and said.
"Pearls are harvested from the sea. Most of the pearls on the island must have been sold. Aren't those shells pretty?"
Fang Yuan pointed to a wall made of seashells outside and asked.
