Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

Upon hearing this, Yongji, who had been somewhat excited, suddenly changed his expression. He quickly shrank back into Qianlong's arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Ziwei, how about we fly higher? If this shark suddenly leaps up, it can easily swallow us in one gulp with its bloody mouth. Even ordinary carp can jump over the Dragon Gate, so if this shark makes a strong leap, it shouldn't be difficult for it to jump more than ten meters high, right?"

Qianlong hugged Yongji tightly, as if he was afraid that Yongji would disappear if he let go.

"Don't be afraid, Yongji. Your sister Ziwei will definitely protect us."

His voice trembled slightly, and although it was very subtle, Ziwei, who had extraordinary perception, still caught the hidden fear in it.

Even the usually arrogant and domineering Emperor Qianlong would feel afraid.

Ziwei concentrated her mind and extended her spiritual sense, trying to communicate with the huge shark.

However, attempts again and again fell on deaf ears, without receiving any response.

Just as she was filled with disappointment and ready to give up, an extremely weak and childish voice suddenly entered her mind: "Fairy... I was sent by the King to guard the Qing Dynasty ships..."

Ziwei was shocked. She didn't expect that this was actually a female shark!

"Since you were ordered to come here to protect us, why do you keep staring at us like this?"

After a long time, Ziwei finally heard the shark's faint voice again: "The king said that fairies can fly very high and far. I think it's amazing, so I'm very curious... I also want to fly in the sky like a fairy. If I could have a pair of wings and soar in the sky like those free little birds, how wonderful it would be..."

Ziwei couldn't help but feel a bit amused and gently touched her forehead. She had thought that only humans longed for wings, but she had never imagined that even creatures in the deep sea had the same dream.

But she really couldn't imagine how huge the wings would be needed to carry the shark's huge and heavy body and fly in the sky. Perhaps it would require the legendary Kunpeng's wings to achieve this?

"When you have cultivated successfully, that day will surely come!"

"Okay, leave now! Otherwise you'll really scare my family."

The great shark swung its enormous tail, which stirred up a huge wave that surged into the distance like a small mountain. Every swing was like the arrival of a storm, which made people feel terrified.

As if bidding her farewell, the great shark suddenly turned and sped away at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast ocean, leaving only a long trail of water to prove its presence.

Seeing the huge threat finally leave, Qianlong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "These sea creatures are really cowardly. They were scared away by us." However, the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his true feelings.

After hearing what Qianlong said, the other three people beside him twitched their lips slightly, but no one exposed Qianlong's pretending to be calm.

Afterwards, the flying sword continued its steady flight, crossing the vast ocean and speeding towards the island. Before long, a beautiful island appeared before everyone's eyes. Like a dazzling pearl set in the azure sea, the island was filled with lush greenery, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, a scene brimming with life.

The flying sword slowly landed on the island, and everyone jumped off the sword.

"This Qiongzhou Prefecture is truly wonderful!" Qianlong surveyed his surroundings with a touch of admiration. Despite being deep winter, the place felt as warm and pleasant as early summer. Compared to Guangdong, the temperature here was noticeably higher, a pleasant surprise.

Qianlong couldn't help but think that if they also had the ability to fly, they could easily come here every winter to avoid the cold and enjoy this unique warmth.

"Look at the sky, it's already late." Ziwei looked up at the sky and continued, "The light in the ocean is already weak, and it's even weaker at night. Why don't we spend the night in Qiongzhou Prefecture and then go to the bottom of the sea to explore tomorrow morning? What do you think?"

Ziwei closed her eyes slightly, and her spiritual awareness instantly covered an area of ​​a hundred miles. Hainan Island's population was not large these days, and they still followed the traditional lifestyle of men farming and women weaving, with no trace of the prosperity it would later become as a major tourist destination.

However... Ziwei's eyes were attracted by the abundant fruits in the distance, and a look of joy appeared on her face. The jackfruits were big, thick and fragrant, and she must stock up on some.

Qianlong smiled slightly and nodded in response, "Ziwei's words make perfect sense. We set out from the capital early this morning, and before nightfall, we arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture. This astonishing speed is truly extraordinary. If we had taken a carriage, we wouldn't even have made it beyond the boundaries of Zhili in an entire day, let alone reach this distant Qiongzhou Prefecture."

"Mother, how about we find an inn for you to rest first? We can go out for a walk later. It gets dark late here." Ziwei looked at the queen's big belly, but her spiritual consciousness was checking for an inn with a good environment.

Just two streets away from here lies a charming inn. Its interior is pleasant, its decor exquisite and unique, and quite interesting. It's also a short walk from where we are now.

This inn must have been opened and run by a minority ethnic group. Its overall style is full of strong ethnic customs. Unfortunately, Ziwei knows very little about ethnic minorities, so it is difficult to say exactly which ethnic group this place belongs to.

However, it is worth mentioning that on the bustling street in front of the inn, many people are enthusiastically performing a unique dance called bamboo pole dance. They dance with all their heart, their joy is beyond words, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.

When they saw Ziwei smiling and waving at them, these hospitable people took the initiative to step forward and warmly invited Ziwei to join this cheerful dance feast.

This kind of bamboo pole dance was very unfamiliar to her. She had encountered it a few times in her previous life but had never played it. She was worried that she would not be familiar with the movements and would accidentally get her legs caught.
