"Are you feeling unwell?"
On the boat, Shi Yan asked Ye Zhen.
It was his daughter's first time going out to sea by boat, and he was worried that she would get seasick.
Cui Yihuan vomited violently as soon as she arrived, and although Yin Jiuniang didn't vomit, she didn't seem to be in the same spirits as usual.
Madam Wang, on the other hand, was still full of energy and vitality, and Su Luoqing was also in good condition.
"I'm not in pain."
Ye Zhen's eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity.
"Father, how long will it take to reach Great Wei by sea?"
Shi Yan said, “If there is no delay, with the speed of this ship and our unique route, a month is enough. But I heard that your great-uncle and great-aunt have also returned.”
Their country was called Pu, which belonged to the Great Wei Dynasty. It was a coastal country, and to go around it would require an extra ten days of sea travel.
He has a daughter and wants to show her off to his relatives.
Not knowing whether her daughter was willing to go, she whispered a few words in Ye Zhen's ear.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was stunned for a long time before asking, "Fish? Mermaid?"
Don't blame her for being shocked.
My father said that my great-aunt was a princess of the Pu Kingdom, but she was not a real human, but a mermaid.
The Little Mermaid.
I'd only heard about it from rumors.
A hint of amusement flickered in Shi Yan's eyes; he knew no one wouldn't be curious about this.
When he was little, he was incredibly curious when he learned that his great-aunt and her daughters and granddaughters were mermaids.
Shi Yan had his own ulterior motives; he wanted to use this to entice his daughter to agree to go to the Pu Kingdom.
Over the years, during family gatherings, he has been pressured to get married by unsuspecting relatives, who even look at him with pity and sympathy.
They felt sorry for him, considering his advanced age and still being a bachelor, and his cousin from Puguo often showed off his daughter in front of him.
Now, he has a daughter too.
Of course, he also had to show off in return, even though his daughter didn't have a golden or colorful fish tail, she was still the most precious treasure in the world.
While I'm at it, I'll go to the Kingdom of Pu to earn some pearls for my daughter.
Having made up his mind, he threw out another bait: "Your great-uncle was not human either."
Ye Zhen, “…”
So, does that mean that among her father's relatives, only her father was an ordinary person?
Should she praise her father or offer him comfort?
Shi Yan didn't give his daughter time to think it over, and continued, "I told you before, your great-grandmother was the Protector General of the Great Wei, and your great-uncle was her twin brother, who died protecting her..."
This is a long story.
After listening, Ye Zhen seemed to have discovered a new world.
In summary, after his great-uncle died, he possessed his great-grandmother's evil-breaking spear. That spear had a mysterious power that allowed his great-uncle to transform into a spirit, eventually achieving a physical body. He even married a mermaid, had several human sons, and a little mermaid.
Ye Zhen never believed in supernatural phenomena before, but after her rebirth, she realized that anything is possible in this world.
But what Shi Yan said was far beyond her comprehension, and it took her a long time to process it.
Therefore, when Shi Yan asked her if she was going to the Pu Kingdom, Ye Zhen nodded emphatically.
She wanted to broaden her horizons.
She needs to get to know more capable people; perhaps they can help her find her mother.
The dream she had last time told her that her mother was also trying to come back. Ye Zhen knew what it felt like to miss someone, especially since her mother was all alone in another world.
Shi Yan saw through her thoughts, "Every world has its own rules, and just as every person has their own destiny."
Some things are just missing the right opportunity.
But I think perhaps your rebirth is a stroke of luck; in this life, your mother might be able to return sooner.
Otherwise, with his elder brother's abilities, it would have been impossible for him to easily get someone to take a picture, and for Ye Jinghong to see it so coincidentally.
His composure and calmness always put Ye Zhen at ease.
"Prince Shi, Ye Zhen, dinner is ready."
Su Luoqing also went up to the deck and called to the two of them, "My mother-in-law made sauerkraut fish, saying it's to whet everyone's appetite."
Throughout the journey, whenever possible, Madam Wang personally arranged meals for the group.
Because of their relationship with Ye Zhen, Shi Yan was exceptionally tolerant and easygoing towards them, yet still maintained a proper sense of boundaries.
Everyone got along very well along the way and became much more familiar with each other, without the many rules and constraints of the capital city.
Su Luoqing smiled and said, "Your Highness, my aunt said she was grateful for the medicine you sent. She is no longer dizzy. To thank you, she wants to make you a crab stir-fried rice cake."
This is Shi Yan's favorite dish.
But Cui Yihuan's cooking skills are really not very good.
Even someone as nonchalant as Shi Yan paused in his tracks upon hearing this, looking at Ye Zhen with pleading eyes.
Who would have thought that Cui Yihuan would develop a hobby of cooking along the way?
She simply doesn't have much talent.
Ye Zhen didn't dare to compliment Cui Yihuan's cooking skills either, and quickly said, "I'll go help."
Shi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her daughter is an excellent cook, and with her help, Cui Yihuan shouldn't be too out of sorts.
Su Luoqing thought to herself that it would be too late for Ye Zhen to go there, but she mischievously didn't say anything and followed Ye Zhen.
A servant stepped forward and handed over a small bamboo tube. "Your Highness, a letter from the shore."
The shore here refers to the shore on the other side of the Great Abyss.
These followers were from Dayuan who had come after Shi Yan. Upon learning that Shi Yan and his group were returning to Dawei, they waited by the sea after landing.
Some were left in Dayuan, while others returned to Dawei with Shi Yan.
They had albatrosses that carried messages across the sea, and these messages were delivered to Shi Yan by the group that remained in Da Yuan.
It refers to the news that Tse Ting-chou has returned to Beijing.
After reading it, Shi Yan used his inner strength to grind it into powder, which was then blown into the sea by the wind.
