Wu Jianghua came to Mu Yunxi and Yongle and asked Mu Yunxi, "Niece, where are we going next? It's so vast in the ocean, don't get lost."

Mu Yunxi looked at the two pirates who had been captured at the beginning. Wu Jianghua understood and walked towards the captured pirates and asked, "Do you know where the nearest place to land is?"

The pirates looked at each other, confused as to what Wu Jianghua was saying. Xie Dalin quickly stepped forward to translate. One of the more astute pirates quickly replied, "Sir, I know that if we sail southeast for about half a day, we'll reach the shore of an island." Wu Jianghua turned to Mu Yunxi and Yongle, "Then let's head southeast." Mu Yunxi nodded.

The ship sailed southeast, and a few hours later, the faint outline of land appeared. Just then, a soldier on the lookout shouted, "Unidentified vessels approaching!" Mu Yunxi and the others immediately became alert. Wu Jianghua clenched his weapon, "Could we be encountering pirates again? No matter who they are, if they dare to commit this crime, they will never return!" Yongle also grabbed his bow and crossbow for self-defense. Mu Yunxi stared resolutely at the approaching ship.

Compared with the Zhaoyang ship, which is dozens of meters high, the incoming ship seems small, but it is still half the size of the Zhaoyang ship.

Just as everyone was bracing themselves for a potential clash, the unidentified vessel slowly came to a stop. A melodious horn blared from the ship, as if conveying some kind of signal. Mu Yunxi frowned slightly and said to Wu Jianghua, "The sound of a horn doesn't seem like pirate behavior. Let's not act rashly for now and wait and see what they're up to."

Wu Jianghua nodded and asked the guards to put down their bows and crossbows first, but still remain vigilant.

Soon, a small boat was lowered from the ship, and several people in strange clothes approached Mu Yunxi's boat. As they approached, everyone realized that these people were the blond and blue-eyed people Xie Dalin had described.

One of them shouted loudly in their language: "Dear travelers, we are envoys from the island ahead. We noticed your ship and did not mean to offend you. It's just that pirates have been rampant around the island recently, so we have to be on high alert. Do you need assistance or are you willing to have a friendly exchange with us?" Mu Yunxi heard it and found that it was the same language as the United States, but the grammar was different. She guessed what the man was saying.

After a moment's thought, he responded loudly, using modern grammar: "I don't quite understand your language, but we mean no harm. We are travelers from afar, and we truly need to find a safe port to dock. If your island welcomes us, we'd like to engage in friendly exchanges. Also, we've captured a group of pirates."

The visitor smiled upon hearing this and said, "It's great that you've captured the pirates! Please come with us. Our island will provide you with a safe haven and warm hospitality."

So, Mu Yunxi, Yongle, Wu Jianghua and others followed the envoy's instructions and sailed towards the island. Although they were still a little cautious, they came out for the adventure.

As we approached the island, we could see from afar a lush green landscape with unique architectural styles. Pointed-roofed houses were scattered in an orderly fashion, and the walls were covered with colorful murals, mostly depicting marine life and heroic warriors.

After landing on the island, I looked out at the streets, where the people were curiously looking around. The men were mostly tall and strong, while the women wore brightly colored long skirts. They had fair skin and deep eyes. However, not all people here were blonde. Blondes and blue eyes seemed to have higher status, like the envoy just now...

The markets here are bustling with exotic treasures, the air thick with spices, and the fruit stands are full of large, plump fruits, exuding an alluring aroma.

After talking with the envoy named Brown, I learned that this is one of the islands of a country called Pandora, Mutira Island. It is a must-pass route for many countries on the sea, and many merchants passing by here will stop to rest.

Mu Yunxi wanted to know more, so she tried to test the waters by using the identity of Princess Yongle, but she did not say which country she was from.

Upon learning that Yongle was a princess, the envoy was thrilled and expressed his intention to invite the local prince to greet them. Mu Yunxi and her companions repeatedly refused, but the envoy persisted. Thinking of their purpose for this voyage, Mu Yunxi finally agreed.

So, Yongle took Nanny Ku Yue and Ruo Xia back to the boat and prepared to dress up. She now represented the face of Zhao State. Fortunately, Emperor Qing Zhao asked someone to bring her princess's palace dress when she set off.

After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, a group of people dressed in gorgeous attire arrived to greet them. Leading the group was a blond man wearing a golden crown, presumably a member of the royal family. His attire was primarily white and gold, embroidered with intricate patterns, each stitch seeming to speak of the country's wealth.

At this moment, Yongle, also dressed in a carefully prepared palace dress, slowly stepped into the crowd's sight, her regal aura instantly capturing everyone's attention. Her palace dress, with a deep royal blue as its base, symbolized the nobility and depth of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family. The fabric was made of the finest silk, smooth and delicate, with a soft sheen.

The palace dress features a double-breasted design, with the collar and cuffs inlaid with fine gold thread, outlining an intricate and delicate cloud pattern. Every stitch and thread reveals the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship. A wide golden belt, inlaid with several dazzling gems, glitters around the waist, highlighting the princess's status and adding a sense of grandeur to the dress.

The skirt is wide and falls naturally, swaying gently in the wind, resembling a sea of clouds, a breathtaking beauty. The hem of the skirt is also embroidered with an intricate pattern in gold thread, echoing the pattern on the top, creating a harmonious and unified look.

She wore an exquisite phoenix crown on her head, inlaid with various gems, sparkling and shining, which complemented her palace dress. Her hair was tied high, revealing her smooth forehead. Her eyebrows revealed a kind of majestic temperament without anger, which made people dare not look directly at her, but also wanted to look away.

Mu Yunxi's eyes also lit up. This was the first time she saw Yongle wearing palace clothes. In the past, Yongle only dressed simply for palace banquets, as long as not to embarrass the royal family. It had never been so grand.

Yongle stepped forward and bowed slightly. The prince named Boerhan who came to greet him came to his senses and guessed that Yongle was saluting him, so he put his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly, and returned the greeting in their way.

From Bron we learn that this Bernhan is a prince and that Mutira Island is now under his charge.
