When Yuxi saw another person coming, she quickly broke free from Kai's arms and stood firmly.

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face. After all, being caught doing such an intimate thing still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The young man who asked the question was dressed simply in a sleeveless shorts, and his exposed arms were tanned by the scorching sun.

With a faded forehead band tied under his messy brown hair, he exudes a poor yet rebellious temperament.

He asked in confusion, "Stranger? All the gates of Jiangjun Hanlu are closed. How did you get in?"

Yuxi replied calmly: "We came here using martial arts."

After hearing this, the young man's eyes flashed with respect: "Then you are all masters with special skills!"

He then asked: "Which country does it belong to?"

Yuxi smiled slightly: "We have no subordinate countries. We are travelers from the West."

The young man seemed to be interested in their identities and continued to ask: "What are you going to do in this remote fishing village?"

Yuxi searched briefly and replied calmly, "We are going to explore the sea to find treasure."

"Hahaha."

This remark made the young man smile, and he relaxed completely. He sat casually at the bow and chatted with Yuxi.

"Looking for treasure is good."

The young man smiled and said, "In the past, there were many travelers like you who went out to sea to look for treasure. Our fleet sometimes even made some profit."

However, his next words disappointed Yuxi and Kai: "But unfortunately, this period of time is the fleet training period, and private ships are prohibited from going out to sea."

Yuxi continued to ask, "When will you be allowed to go out to sea?"

The young man shook his head: "The time is not yet determined."

Yuxi looked at Kai with some frustration, but Kai smiled, raised his hand, and gently stroked the back of his neck to comfort him.

Then he looked directly at the young man and asked, "You just said that private boats can't go out to sea, which means that public boats can go out, right?"

Yuxi was secretly surprised: "...What kind of magical brain circuit is this?"

The young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded: "Well, of course the government ships can go out. But there are conditions for government ships to go out to sea."

Kai pressed on and asked, "What are the conditions?"

The young man replied: "Do you have any familiar family leaders in Jiang County, or do you know anyone who trains ships?"

Kai said calmly: "If we knew such a person in Jiangjun, we wouldn't ask here."

The young man spread his hands helplessly: "Then there is nothing we can do."

Kai suddenly asked: "Who are you? Are you the one in charge of the training ship or the leader of a family here?"

"Hahaha."

The young man laughed and said, "Are you trying to bribe me?"

Kai said calmly: "If you can help, we can pay you a high reward."

The young man glanced at him and said, "Do you think I look like someone who is short of money?"

Kai looked him up and down, and finally answered seriously: "Like."

The young man's face froze instantly.

Yuxi couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Don't be so straightforward, even though this guy is wearing shabby clothes."

"But since you said you don't lack money, then do you lack this?"

Kai suddenly took out a map from his waist and showed it to the young man.

The young man caught a glimpse of the map in his hand, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately stood up from the boat and jumped onto the dock walkway.

"This is! A map of the entire continent?!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Kai nodded: "Yes, a map of the entire continent. There are also maps of countries outside the sea area. Every barren island, reef and ocean current is mapped in great detail."

The young man's eyes were fixed on the map, and he was obviously more interested in it than the money.

The young man asked in surprise: "This thing... it's impossible to discover it without several generations of exploration, right?"

Kai nodded and replied calmly: "Yes, this is a manuscript drawn by the Western explorer Nicolo Polo. His family has been explorers for generations."

Kai watched the young man's expression become increasingly out of control, and he felt relieved. So, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "If you agree to take us out to sea, in exchange, we can let you draw an identical copy."

"You should also know the value of this kind of map."

After all, in this world where transportation relies on manpower, a complete map of the continent is indeed as rare as a rare treasure.

If you hand it over to someone in a higher position, it would be like handing over ownerless land, and you could use it to gain official power and status!

The young man didn't hesitate and quickly agreed: "Okay! Our fleet will go out to sea in a few days, I can take you there."

Kai smiled and thanked him: "Thank you."

The young man turned and led the way: "Come on, I'll arrange a place for you to stay first. That way I won't be able to find you when we go out to sea."

Yuxi stood there in a daze, and was surprised: "Is that map so precious?"

The next moment, the back of my neck was suddenly sucked.

When he realized what was happening, he glared at Kai. Just as he was looking around guiltily, he heard Kai lazily say, "I don't want to walk. Carry me."

Yuxi was still a little restrained: "There are many celebrities watching around."

Kai said shamelessly: "Just look, no one knows us."

Yuxi felt helpless: "I give in..."

Yuxi blushed, but resigned herself to her fate and pressed against Kai's body, holding Kai horizontally in her arms.

He whispered, "You are really my dear. If you keep going like this, my skin will become thicker than the Great Wall."

"Hahahahaha."

Kai laughed triumphantly after hearing this.

The young man turned his head and his eyes moved back and forth between Kai and Yuxi. He was attracted by Kai's low laughter.

"What...are you doing?"

Yuxi's answer was succinct and clear: "He is lazy and doesn't want to walk."

He frowned and shook his head, as if he couldn't believe our behavior: "Too lazy to walk? This...you two brothers have a really good relationship."

The young man's expression changed from confusion to surprise. He continued, "If my brother was too lazy to walk and asked me to carry him, I would break his legs!"

Then, the young man suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How much does he weigh?"

Yuxi answered naturally: "About 180 pounds..."

The young man was surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You have good arm strength then."

Then, the young man suddenly asked: "Hey! By the way, can you hold him down for me? Let me test my arm strength."

"This is my person, why should I let you hold him?"

Yuxi reacted very strongly and said firmly: "If you want to test your arm strength, go find someone else."

As she spoke, Yuxi quickly used her arm to press Kai's face into her chest to block it, with a look of alert on her face.

The young man looked at this scene, looking a little puzzled: "Huh? I was just saying it casually."

There was a hint of resignation and confusion in his voice, as if to say that he meant no harm.

However, Yuxi's answer was firm: "No means no."

There was no hesitation in his voice, as if there was no room for compromise on this issue.

Kai also looked at the young man coldly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes revealed a kind of dissatisfaction and warning.

The young man was disappointed and had to continue leading the way.

Yuxi held Kai in her arms and followed the young man, gradually walking into the center of Jiang County.

Along the way, Kai kept pestering Yuxi for a kiss, but Yuxi turned her head away and ignored him.

Kai grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Just one kiss, just one."

Yuxi said firmly: "That's enough, there are too many people here, come down and walk by yourself."

Kai immediately shut up, got down obediently, held Yuxi's hand and walked together.

The young man stopped in front of a large house and shouted, "Come out, Gongjin! I found something for you to do."

Yuxi's heart was moved: "Gongjin? Isn't this Zhou Yu's name?"

Zhou Yu walked out of the mansion and was surprised to see Yu Xi. Then he said to the young man calmly, "Why do you have to find something for me to do all day long?"

The young man chuckled: "Hehehe~"

Yuxi greeted Zhou Yu: "Brother Zhou Yu, long time no see."

Zhou Yu responded happily: "You are... Junior Brother Gong? It's been a long time since we last met. You haven't changed at all."

The young man asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

Zhou Yu explained: "Bo Fu, this is my fellow junior fellow student and his friend."

Yuxi suddenly realized: "Bofu is Sun Ce's courtesy name. This idiot is actually Sun Ce?!"

Sun Ce waved his hand and said: "Since he is your junior brother, I will just arrange for him to live here with you."

Zhou Yu frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Sun Ce said impatiently: "Don't ask, I have a small agreement with them. Remember to hold a banquet tonight and entertain them well."

After saying that, he turned around, waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Zhou Yu hurriedly called out to him, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Sun Ce said without turning his head: "Let's have a banquet at your place tonight. I'll also call my younger sister to come over. You know she's hard to find."

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly: "Go..."

He looked at Sun Ce's receding figure with a helpless look on his face. Then he smiled awkwardly at Yuxi and Kai: "Well, I'll arrange two rooms for you first."

Yuxi shook her head: "One room is enough."

Zhou Yu insisted, "It's OK. I have many empty rooms here. You don't have to squeeze into one room."

Yuxi said firmly: "No, we want to live together."

Zhou Yu nodded helplessly: "Well... okay."
