Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571: Severing Mortal Ties
Long Fei burned the Fourth Leader’s body with a torch and checked the supplies on the shore.
The contents of the boxes were mostly dried and preserved foods.
There were dried fish, pickled vegetables, and dried cakes.
The most valuable item was braised pork, stored in sealed jars like canned goods.
Pirates don’t produce anything, so they usually can’t eat fresh vegetables and have to eat things like these.
The villagers imprisoned here before could hardly fill their stomachs with their daily als.
He called Chu Feng to bring everyone over and carried these supplies back to the temple’s warehouse.
The cargo ship carried weapons and iron tools, which Long Fei took down and reforged into farming tools for everyone to use on the island.
There’s a spirit vein beneath this island, and the spring water from the mountain is sweet.
If a piece of land can be opened up, there’s no worry about being unable to grow crops.
The villagers murmured, thinking how the pirates got struck by lightning when they ca, yet when Long Fei brought everyone over, nothing happened?
Chu Feng followed up curiously, asking, “Is the route to enter your formation fixed?”
Long Fei understood what he was worried about — soone might rember the route, making it easy to sneak in without restriction by colluding with outsiders.
He pointed with his hand to a spot they just passed, and two pieces of Thunderstruck Wood changed direction.
The restrictions of the entire formation shifted along with it; as long as soone was present, the formation could be altered.
As night fell, everyone lit a bonfire on the grass outside the temple.
Long Fei asked everyone to open the drinks brought by the pirates and roasted fish while drinking with a crowd.
Although the pirates’ food wasn’t good, the liquor was unexpectedly decent.
The Clan Leader told Long Fei this was an aged wine locals in Minzhou often drank, made from rice and left until spring to be drunk.
Therefore, this wine was also called May Red.
Everyone laughed and drank with big bowls, and under the urging of the young ones, started dancing the coastal fishing dance around the bonfire.
Lin Juan’er poured drinks for everyone, sat happily beside Lin Yingying, and wiped her tears, saying, “It’s been so long since everyone was this happy. Sister Yingying, when do you think this world will beco peaceful?”
Lin Yingying smiled and touched her belly, saying, “Soon, when this little one cos out, maybe the world will be peaceful then?”
“I hope so!”
Lin Juan’er nodded. These days, with a better diet, perhaps due to less stress, there was more vitality in her face.
Originally an eighteen-year-old girl, she had been tornted by these pirates into ageing a decade.
The next day, they bid farewell to the villagers.
They took the sea route, descending into the Crystal Dragon Palace under the sea, directing Lin Yingying to command the Dragon Palace northward.
Long Fei searched for coordinates in the sea along the way, taking out a piece of leather to mark down positions of each island, creating a sea route map for future disciples to travel between land and sea.
He roughly calculated, this Jade Island was 3000 nautical miles from the coastline, about 10,000 miles in terrestrial distance, located between Southern Ridge County and South Yangtze Prefecture.
The general structure of this world was sowhat similar to the one outside.
The geography of the ocean was the sa, just with larger islands and a wider sea.
They piloted the Dragon Palace to the Yellow Sea, found a deserted island nearby, and parked the Dragon Palace there.
To the west was Qi and Lu County. Originally, Chu Feng wanted to take a stroll, but Lin Yingying urged him to return ho, stopping him.
They rode giant eagles without stopping, flying until they reached Mount Tai.
Long Fei reached out to feel the rift between the two realms and discovered the Space Laws had strengthened by another threefold.
In less than a month, this place would be completely shut.
After he inford everyone, they all looked at each other with faces full of disappointnt.
This ant the next ti they entered, they might never be able to return ho in their lifeti.
Afterward, they parted ways on Mount Tai.
Shen Feng and his sister went to the Capital City, while Long Fei, Lin Yingying, and Chu Feng went back to Binhai City, separating.
Lin Yingying contacted her sister, planning to persuade their parents together with her.
Lin Shanshan, having resolved matters in Arica, had returned from abroad.
Excited to learn of Long Fei and Lin Yingying’s return, she hurried to et them.
She had been worried about them these days, and if they hadn’t returned, she and the disciples of The Three Immortal Islands overseas even planned to go to sea to search for them.
Lin Yingying recounted the recent events to Lin Shanshan, who was amazed by what she heard.
Upon learning of Lin Yingying’s determination to leave, she asked anxiously, “What about our parents and grandfather? Are they going to be taken along?”
Lin Yingying looked at Long Fei, unsure how to handle the situation, worried their parents might not listen to them.
This ti leaving was unlike before; they might never return in their lifeti.
Their bonds with mundane affairs were profound, and mishandling could lead to unresolved emotional ties.
Long Fei advised them, “Leave it to fate and do your best, persuade them well, and respect their wishes.”
He had Foundation Building Pill for body strengthening that could help the family quickly advance.
If they were willing, they could easily break through to the Foundation Building Level.
Upon reaching the Foundation Building Level, entering the spiritually enriched world wouldn’t be a problem.
They discussed and decided to take separate actions.
Lin Yingying and her sister went to persuade their parents, while Long Fei went to Longjiawan Village to consult the three elderly masters.
Now Elder Master Lin and Old Master Zhou both resided in Longjiawan Village.
They and Long Santai bathed in hot springs every day, practiced Eight Trigrams Palm, and occasionally fished in the sea, living extrely comfortably.
Upon returning, Long Fei felt very peaceful, unlike Lin Yingying and her sister.
Reaching this level, so worldly ties had long been severed.
Longjiawan Village had developed well these years. The Chinese rose project, heavily sponsored by Lin’s Group, had beco a local poverty alleviation model.
Due to special geographical conditions, these flowers were not only sold dostically but also exported abroad.
In the early sumr, the Chinese roses blood in full glory.
Everywhere around was a sea of pink.
The roads in the village were packed with cars, all tourists attracted from surrounding cities.
Even female social dia influencers were there, live streaming in the flower fields with their phones.
Long Fei was about to head ho when soone suddenly called out, “Brother Long, oh my, you didn’t even say a word about coming back!”
A dark-skinned man ca over riding an electric scooter, with a long-haired beauty in tow, blocking the path in front of Long Fei.
This dark-skinned guy, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, looking quite clean, could only be Li Heiwa.
According to others, he was considered a second-generation official.
As the village chief’s son, naturally, he was different from the others.
The girl behind him held a selfie stick and wore an earpiece, probably a social dia influencer too.
She got off the scooter, said a few words to her live stream audience, then hung up the call, shyly hiding behind Li Heiwa.
Long Fei looked at them, smiled, and asked Li Heiwa, “You’re doing well, huh? Found yourself such a pretty girlfriend?”
Li Heiwa touched his head, a little embarrassed, and gave a silly grin, telling his girlfriend to quickly call out, “Brother Long.”
The three chatted and found out the girl was from Xiushui Village, the sa village as Wang Xiaoya.
Long Fei heard even more surprising news from her: Wang Xiaoya was right at her hotown now and had donated money to the village yesterday. The village chief called a singing and dancing troupe, and they were still performing in front of Wang Xiaoya’s house!
