Chapter 4263: 5.0015 Riding the Waves

In the direction they came from, a blaze of fire lit up the night, with thick smoke billowing as if the river itself had caught fire and boiled. The spectacle was grand and rather terrifying.

Qiao Mu's small face remained expressionless.

Her eyes, cold as ice, looked down at the severely damaged swordfish, shattered into pieces. A hint of disdain flickered in her gaze.

"Low-class tactics," she said coldly, pulling out a glazed sealing orb and throwing it into the turbulent river water.

Feng Changqing and his group had been startled by the little girl's use of divine power orbs.

Now, seeing her throw out another object, they all held their breath, waiting for a massive tremor.

Instead, as the sealing orb fell, a three-story ship slid out from it, instantly dropping into the river, churning up gurgling waves that surged forward.

"My heavens!" Feng Changfei couldn't help but exclaim, "A ship!"

"Crimson Firmament Raging Waves." Clearly, Feng Changqing's eyesight was far superior to his younger brother, Feng Changfei's.

This single phrase unveiled the mystery, and all the Phoenix Clan members immediately widened their eyes, eagerly looking at the ship.

"Let's go!" Qiao Mu beckoned, and everyone immediately followed the little Crown Prince Consort, soaring towards the large ship.

"It's been exhausting, messing around for half the night," the little Crown Prince Consort said expressionlessly, turning to look at everyone. "Everyone, wash up and go to bed early."

"The rooms on the second floor are free for anyone."

With that, she took hold of her husband's slender fingers and led her man to the third floor.

She left behind a group of curious Phoenix Clan members, touching everything, looking around, and excitedly discussing for quite a while. They couldn't help but chatter incessantly around their patriarch, Feng Changqing, asking about the Crimson Firmament Raging Waves.

The Next Morning

The Phoenix Clan members, refreshed after a night's rest, came to the deck feeling invigorated.

Only then did they realize that the sun had already risen in the east, and the morning glow covered the river, creating beautiful hues.

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian were having breakfast with Mu Xingchen and greeted everyone when they arrived.

"This Crimson Firmament Raging Waves is truly amazing."

"I didn't feel any turbulence all night; I slept so well."

"Yes, after a night's rest, I feel a hundred times more energetic today!"

Not only did the Crimson Firmament Raging Waves sail steadily all night, but there was also no need to worry about any attacks or troubles.

The entire Crimson Firmament Raging Waves ship itself was a top-tier defensive sacred artifact.

Unless the corpse fish from the entire sea region were mobilized to attack, a few hundred or even a thousand fish wouldn't pose any threat at all.

Breakfast was simple: steamed meat buns and rice porridge. Although no one was hungry, it seemed that after following the little Crown Prince Consort, they inexplicably developed a habit of eating three wholesome meals a day.

Since they were idle anyway, everyone had a bowl of rice porridge and two buns, eating them on their own.

"At this ship's speed, we should reach the nearest ferry crossing around noon," the little stoic said to everyone without much expression.

"Hey, I wonder how Young Master Long and his group are doing now?" Feng Changfei took a bite of his bun and suddenly asked, "By the way, did it rain last night?"

"Hmm, it rained for half the night. The rain wasn't heavy, but if Young Master Long and his group were riding the Sky-Soaring Bat, it probably wasn't very comfortable," Feng Changqing said calmly.

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Patriarch Feng's words were truly very subtle. "Not very comfortable" meant they were utterly miserable, right?

It was now August, and the weather was exceptionally hot. Even with the river breeze, it felt muggy.
