Su Yang learned from Die'er that their destination was the Port of Worunster in the Duchy of Paisen. At their current sailing speed, it would take at least one or two days to travel from the northern port of the island to Worunster. This voyage would be arduous, as they would encounter various sea conditions and ferocious sea beasts along the way. Without the escort of adventurers and the military, they might not be able to cope.

As the ship slowly moved forward, it gradually entered international waters. This area did not belong to any country, so there were no patrol boats patrolling here. Die'er and Linglong felt bored with the voyage and had long since returned to their rings to replenish their elemental power. Su Yang also took the opportunity of resting to enter the Tree World again to check on his current situation.

After entering the Tree World, Su Yang noticed that the Spirit Tree seemed unchanged. Reaching its base, he looked at the purple and translucent fruits on two branches and muttered, "These two fruits were here last time. I wonder what they're for; they never fall." He shook his head and looked towards the base of the tree, where a sign read:

Name: Su Yang

Age: 24

Elemental Powers: Cloud, Air, Light; Development Progress: 95.23%

Special element: Fog; Development progress: 100%

Permanent Skills: Detection Radar, Cloud Barrier, Aura of Obscurity

Spirit Beast: Sky-Splitting Tiger (Status: Normal)

Companion Spirit Skill: Light of Harmony

Similar to before, the only difference is that the permanent skill has an additional "Hidden Aura". Judging from the name, Su Yang knew that it must be related to the fog element. It was probably the move he used before, which allowed him to create a fog while hiding himself. Su Yang circled the tree a few times but did not make any other new discoveries. Feeling bored, he left.

Back in reality, Lin Anlan was playing with Xiao Ju, Xiao Shihua, and the three Icewing Dogs. Speaking of the Icewing Dogs, Su Yang sighed that dogs are indeed loyal. Su Yang originally planned to release the three Icewing Dogs back into nature so they wouldn't drift with him, but the three Icewing Dogs seemed to have developed feelings for Su Yang after spending so much time with him and refused to leave. In the end, Su Yang used mist elements to conceal their forms and took them on the boat.

Su Yang got up and walked to the Icewing Dogs, squatted down and patted their heads, then asked Lin Anlan, "Are you hungry? I'll go out and see if there's anything to eat?"

"You forgot, there's nothing left to eat on the ship," Lin Anlan reminded her.

“That’s true. Let me see if there’s anything to eat in my bag.” With that, Su Yang picked up the backpack that was placed aside and searched it up. He actually found a few pieces of dried meat. “This dried meat really keeps well. It hasn’t gone bad after all this time.”

Su Yang handed the jerky to Lin Anlan, who took two pieces, cut them into several pieces, and gave them to Little Orange and Icewing Dog. Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doesn't Little Stone Flower need to eat?"

"Maybe it doesn't need to. I've never seen it eat. It's always close to me, and sometimes I feel my fire elemental power draining away. Maybe it's being absorbed by it. Perhaps it feeds on elemental power."

Su Yang thought of Die'er and Linglong. They didn't need to eat, but they needed to supply themselves with elemental power. However, Xiao Shihua was a spirit beast and a life. Relying solely on elemental power wouldn't be enough, would it? But he couldn't come up with a solution no matter how he thought about it. He decided to wait until Die'er woke up before asking her.

"How about we go up to the deck for some fresh air?" Su Yang glanced out the window. Although the sky outside was still a clear blue, it had obviously darkened a bit, so he suggested that it must have been quite some time.

“Sure, we’ve been in the room for too long, it’s good to go out for some fresh air,” Lin Anlan readily agreed.

The two left the spirit beast and the ice-winged hound in the room, closed the door, and went to the deck. There weren't many people on the deck at this time. Some people who had volunteered to use elemental power to propel the ship forward were sitting on the deck resting and chatting, probably the shift workers. There were also some people leaning against the railings of the ship chatting idly.

Su Yang and Lin Anlan strolled leisurely on the deck. The sea breeze was strong, causing Lin Anlan's long hair to flutter wildly. Every now and then, a few strands would fall onto Su Yang's face. Su Yang brushed them away a few times, but Lin Anlan noticed. She gathered her hair with her hand and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Su Yang, I'll just put my hair up."

"Oh, it's okay, you look good wearing it."

The sun hung low over the sea at the horizon, its rays, though not quite its afterglow, still radiating a warm orange glow. Lin Anlan listened to Su Yang's simple praise, a surge of joy welling up within her. Perhaps it was the fitting setting, or perhaps the peace of being away from the war that reassured her. As they walked slowly, she unconsciously moved closer to Su Yang, linking her arm with his. Su Yang noticed but remained silent; his heart pounded, betraying him. His mind raced: "What do I do? She's holding my arm! What does she mean? Does she like me? Damn it! Why didn't I date in my original world? Now I have absolutely no experience! What should I do next? Hold her hand?"

Just as Su Yang was struggling internally, a discordant voice broke the tranquility and the turmoil in his heart:

"Oh! Beautiful lady, your beauty is a perfect match for this seascape. May I ask your name?"

Su Yang and Lin Anlan turned their heads at the same time and saw a thin-faced man with a sinister look. This man was Peng Shaoshi, who had boarded the ship first. Although Su Yang did not know him, he instinctively felt disgusted and repulsed by this man. Was he jealous?

Lin Anlan looked at Peng Shaoshi in front of her and felt a surge of disgust for no reason, but she still smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, sir, I don't think you want to get to know me. I'm a troublesome woman."

Lin Anlan originally intended to reveal that he was a demon, and that getting to know him might cause trouble. However, when he thought about the other people on the deck, he realized that revealing his race could bring trouble to himself and Su Yang, so he changed his mind.

Peng Shaoshi became even more interested after hearing this and continued to invite, "That's quite a coincidence! I'm never afraid of trouble. How about I accompany you to the bow of the ship to enjoy the beautiful sunset, and then we can have dinner together?"

Lin Anlan still refused, saying, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't trouble you, after all, I'm already a married woman." After saying that, she turned to look at Su Yang. When Su Yang saw that Lin Anlan had brought up himself, he quickly smiled and nodded.

Peng Shaoshi glanced at Su Yang, his eyes clearly showing disdain. An inexplicable anger immediately welled up inside him. As one of the Insulator Guardians, who would dare to refuse him except for the Chief Commander and his fellow Guardians? He reached out to pull Lin Anlan aside for a private chat, but his hand was immediately grabbed by a hand that appeared from the side. Peng Shaoshi turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Ao standing beside him, controlling his hand.

"You..." Peng Shaoshi was about to question him when he saw Shen Yao glancing at him from not far away. He immediately stopped talking. He knew very well how ruthless Shen Yao was, regardless of the others. Jiang Ao then said, "Excuse me for disturbing you two." After saying that, he led Peng Shaoshi away.

Back at Shen Yao's side, the three walked away into the distance. As they walked, Shen Yao asked, "Young man, are you aware of the important mission we bear?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong." Peng Shaoshi lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Shen Yao stopped talking and slowly led the two back to the room.

Seeing the three leave, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, it was clear that the man wanted to do something, but was stopped by the other man. Otherwise, who knows what trouble would have happened. Lin Anlan kept her head down, recalling what she had said to refuse the man, and felt a little shy: "How could I say such things? Su Yang won't be angry, will he?"

After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Su Yang and saw that he had no reaction. She felt a little annoyed: "This blockhead, does he really not care at all?" Thinking of this, Lin Anlan lost her mood to appreciate the scenery. She said goodbye to Su Yang and returned to her room, leaving Su Yang alone on the deck in a daze.

"Weren't you supposed to be taking a walk to get some fresh air?"
