Chapter 4264: 5.0016 A Miserable Sight

Although it was still early morning, the sun's rising heat had significantly warmed the river water.

With an unreadable expression, the little Crown Prince Consort pulled out four water spirit talismans from her pocket. With a flick of her hand, a stream of water emerged from her palm.

In a matter of minutes, the water solidified into ice, and a human-sized block of ice appeared beside her.

After creating four large ice blocks, the little Crown Prince Consort quietly patted the water spirit talismans into the ice to maintain its frozen state.

Then, she summoned four mechanical automatons to fan them.

Mu Xingchen's lips twitched. Sitting beside the little Crown Prince Consort, he felt a cool breeze, and the muggy sensation quickly dissipated.

His little sister truly knew how to enjoy herself!

Qiao Mu took out some spirit tea from her inner world. Just as she poured a cup for her brother, a Phoenix Clan member called out, "Oh? It's Young Master Long and his group!"

Feng Changqing and Feng Changfei quickly went to the railing and gazed out.

In the vast river, a group of several dozen people, looking somewhat disheveled, stood on planks of wood, drifting with the current...

Mu Xingchen took a sip of tea. Before he could speak, he heard Feng Changfei exclaim, "Holy cow, they look a bit miserable!"

Long Hui and his group were beyond miserable.

After frantically parting ways with the little Crown Prince Consort and her group yesterday, Long Hui and his party traveled on the Sky-Soaring Bat.

After shaking off the zither-playing corpse puppet and leaving it for Qiao Mu and her group, Long Hui and his sister thought their luck was finally turning.

However, it started raining heavily for most of the night, a continuous drizzle.

They couldn't possibly keep using spiritual energy to evaporate the moisture from their bodies. If they were to encounter another crisis after depleting all their spiritual energy, they would truly be helpless.

So, the group endured the bitter rain, barely managing to pull some clothes from their inner world to cover their heads, and toughing it out the whole way.

After a night of torment, the Sky-Soaring Bat, having carried over a hundred people and flown non-stop for so long, was about to give out.

Long Xiangyun had no choice but to recall it.

Fortunately, Young Master Long had the foresight to store many wooden planks in his inner world.

Now, with the planks thrown out, everyone could at least stand on them and drift for a while, planning to continue flying after the Sky-Soaring Bat rested.

What a tragic life! Out of so many people on this trip, only the second young lady had a flying spirit beast.

Long Hui also had a flying spirit artifact, but it was tiny, only large enough for two people. He couldn't possibly abandon his clansmen and escape with just his sister.

He still had his pride...

Thankfully, the ferry crossing wasn't far. At worst, they'd drift for another two or three hours and would surely reach the crossing before evening.

What he was worried about now was Qiao Mu and her group. He hadn't seen the little Crown Prince Consort and her companions for so long, and Long Hui was concerned that she might have returned to the capital in a fit of anger.

"Young Master, look, a ship, a ship!" Just as he was in a dilemma, he heard a cry from a Long clan member.

Long Xiangyun perked up, looked up, and immediately waved repeatedly at the three-story ship in the distance. "Over here, over here! Hey, over here!"

Long Hui quickly called out, "Ascend! Let's fly over and take a look."

Mo Lian raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. "Wifey, they seem to have spotted us."

With such a large ship, how could they not see it, unless they were blind?

Everyone couldn't help but inwardly scoff, then turned their heads to look, calmly taking in the scene.
