Three years later.
On the vast ocean, a huge and magnificent ship is speeding forward, and two young children are sitting at the bow chatting.
At this moment, the girl suddenly stood up, pointed into the distance, and jumped up excitedly: "Yes, land! Brother, look!"
The young child waved his arms and legs excitedly, and the boy next to him also lit up, murmuring, "Ludi! Tell Mommy!"
The two children stumbled back, and a man carrying food and fruit came over. Seeing how excited they were, he quickly put down what he was carrying and helped them up: "Oh, you two little devils, what are you doing?"
"land!"
The brother and sister spoke unclearly, but they still eagerly conveyed their message. The man looked into the distance, then turned and carried the two children back inside, one in each arm.
At the table, Zhong Muyu was gesturing at a map, while Lu Ziyuan was taking notes. Hearing their commotion, Zhong Muyu looked up and asked, "Uncle Hao? Are they bothering you again?"
"They were so excited to see land that they were waving their arms and legs around. I was afraid they would fall into the sea."
"I won't fall into the sea!"
The two children broke free from their embrace and ran to Lu Ziyuan and Zhong Muyu.
Lu Xinyue said in her childish voice, "Mommy, we just saw land."
"Wow, that's a huge piece. Are we home yet?"
The two children's eyes sparkled, as if they were showing off their discovery.
Lu Ziyuan laughed and said, "You're already homesick after only a few months away?"
Lu Xingyun pretended to be angry: "No, it just looks like it."
Zhong Muyu said, "That doesn't seem like it. We've been heading west, so it's more likely that what we're seeing this time isn't an island, but a real continent."
At this moment, Zhong Muyu looked at the map in his hand with great interest. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was an unfinished map.
Back then, although everything had settled down, Zhong Muyu was still very curious about this world. She was eager to know if this world was no different from the world she used to live in.
When she told Lu Ziyuan about her idea of traveling around the world, he not only did not object, but also strongly supported her. This moved Zhong Muyu deeply. So the two spent three years preparing, and finally set off from Lingqing Port five months ago, heading to an unknown destination.
Wherever they went, Zhong Muyu would collect local maps, information about the culture, and the local people. Now, their ship had gathered people from various countries. Lu Xingyun and Lu Xinyue followed them and learned a lot, even the languages of various countries.
Such days are filled with novelty and adventure every day. Even if there is danger, she is not afraid. The weapons in her space are enough to make every pirate fleet tremble with fear.
Just as they were chatting, someone came to report: "Master and Madam, we have spotted a port, and there is a town ahead."
Zhong Muyu's eyes lit up: "Let's go take a look! I haven't seen a decent town in ages!"
The group docked at the port, and as they disembarked, passersby cast curious glances at them.
The people here generally have dark skin and deep-set features. The merchants who come and go may have fair skin and blue eyes, but perhaps they have never seen people with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair.
Fortunately, Uncle Hao, who was traveling with them, was the white sailor that Zhong Muyu and his group had rescued. He went to ask someone and returned after a while.
"Master and Madam, this is a country called Nifang. I've heard that it's quite large, and many merchants transit through here."
Lu Ziyuan held up an umbrella to shield Zhong Muyu from the sun: "This way we can rest here for a few more days and unload the cargo from the ship."
He instructed the crew behind him to work. After they came out, they had been earning a living by selling local specialties from various places. With the capacity of the ship and the capacity of Zhong Muyu's personal space, they could bring a lot of things, and some of Yuan Qi's things were always very popular outside.
After finding a good inn, Uncle Hao took Lu Ziyuan to the trading company, while Zhong Muyu stayed behind with Qiao'er to take care of the two children.
Early spring was not interested in going on adventures, so Lu Ziyuan left Chengfeng and Zhiyu in Lingqing. However, Qiao'er's temperament was similar to Zhong Muyu's. She was passionate about going anywhere, but she was not in a hurry about marriage.
Zhong Muyu didn't force her; if she could live a carefree life until old age, it would be a pleasant thing.
"Mother, Mother."
At this moment, Lu Xinyue tugged at Zhong Muyu's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go out and play; it's so lively outside."
Zhong Muyu gently flicked her nose: "You finally landed, aren't you tired?"
"A little, but I want to go out more. My brother said the same thing."
Zhong Muyu looked at Lu Xingyun, and the little boy, poked by his sister, immediately nodded vigorously.
"That's right."
Zhong Muyu suppressed a laugh. This little girl must have seen something good at the market. Whenever she had an idea, she would drag her brother into it, and her brother always spoiled her.
"Alright, alright, let's go out for a stroll then, but you all have to be good and not run around."
The two children readily agreed, but if something exciting actually happened, they would forget it immediately, after all, they are just children at heart.
Fortunately, they have seen a lot of ups and downs in the past few months, and they are more cautious than children of the same age in some matters.
Qiao'er smiled and said, "We saw a nice restaurant on the way here. Why don't we go and take a look? We can wait for Master there and have lunch together."
"Let's do it that way then."
Qiao'er sent another maid with her to deliver the message. The group strolled around and bought things. By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the two children had already bought a lot of trinkets.
At the restaurant, Zhong Muyu switched between two languages and finally got the owner to understand her meaning, so he arranged a quiet place with a great view for them.
Although this restaurant is only one floor, it is semi-open, allowing you to enjoy the sea view while you eat, which is quite pleasant.
After waiting for a while, Lu Ziyuan returned with his men. After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhong Muyu slumped in her chair and lazily looked into the distance.
"The scenery here is really beautiful."
Lu Ziyuan said, "Yes, the people are kind, and the town is very prosperous. It's a good place."
"That means we can stay a little longer."
Zhong Muyu leaned closer, and the two snuggled together.
The others had finished eating, and the two children were a little sleepy, so Qiao'er and Uncle Hao took them back for a nap. Now, only the two of them were left here.
Lu Ziyuan gently patted Zhong Muyu's head: "You can stay as long as you want, even for a lifetime."
Zhong Muyu laughed and sat up straight: "I can't stay here forever. I haven't seen all the sights in this world yet."
"What if you can't finish reading it in your entire life?"
"Then let's walk together for a lifetime. Will you always chase new worlds with me?"
Zhong Muyu looked at Lu Ziyuan with bright, sparkling eyes.
Lu Ziyuan gently pulled her into his arms, smiling tenderly: "Of course, wherever you are, I will be there."
Zhong Muyu smiled and said, "Then let's set off together into the future."
