Chapter 335: Peace and Security
"Stop! Don't mention revenge anymore!" Murong Ling'er frowned and shouted at the Golden Eagle King standing at the bow with a look of disgust, "I don't want to go through that stinky thing again. It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it!"
Murong Ling'er recalled the foul-smelling deep-sea monster she had encountered before and couldn't help shuddering. The smell was simply a nightmare, and even after a long time, it could still clearly appear in her nostrils.
When the Golden Eagle King heard this, his huge head drooped down, and a trace of grievance flashed in his golden eyes. He scratched the deck lightly with his claws, as if he was still unwilling to give up. But when he thought of the disgusting smell, he closed his mouth helplessly.
Murong Ling'er looked at the surging sea, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. The harvest of this deep-sea trip far exceeded her expectations. Not only did she find that rare medicinal herb, but she also collected a lot of precious seafood. These were all rare treasures.
In a cheerful mood, she gently patted the Golden Eagle King's back and said with a smile, "Let's go! We've got the herbs. Let's leave this sea area and go to the land for some fresh air."
"Finally, we can leave! I'm almost going crazy out here on the sea!"
The Golden Eagle King screamed excitedly and spread his wings. Like a flash of black lightning, his speed increased instantly, stirring up high white waves around the ship.
Time flies, and half a month passes in a flash.
On this day, Murong Ling'er was concentrating on practicing in the cabin, and a faint spiritual light was emanating from her body.
Suddenly, the Golden Eagle King's excited shout broke the silence: "Woman, come out and see!"
Murong Ling'er slowly opened her eyes, collected her spiritual power, and walked out of the cabin.
Looking around, I saw a few dilapidated fishing boats not far away, swaying in the waves. The fishermen on the boats were busy collecting their fishing nets and had no idea that the big ship was approaching.
The Golden Eagle King was so excited that he jumped up and down on the deck. He had been drifting on the sea for these days and had hardly seen any human beings. He almost doubted whether he and Murong Ling'er would be trapped in this vast ocean forever.
However, the fishermen reacted calmly. They just looked up at the big ship and continued with their work. In this sea area, there are frequent ships coming and going, and they are no longer surprised.
Murong Ling'er stood on the deck, her expression calm. For her, half a month at sea was just a small episode in her cultivation journey.
It was not until the large ship gradually approached the fishing boat that the fishermen showed surprise. They originally thought it was an ordinary merchant ship, but when they saw that there was only a woman and a majestic golden eagle on the boat, their eyes were filled with vigilance and fear.
"Old man, how far is it from here to Longmen City?" Murong Ling'er politely asked the old man on the fishing boat closest to the big ship.
The old man looked up, his face full of confusion. "Longmen City? What kind of place is that? I've been fishing on this sea all my life and have never heard of it. The closest place is Dongjian Town."
Murong Ling'er's heart skipped a beat as she noticed the old man's unique accent, which was completely different from the dialect she was familiar with.
She took another closer look at the old man's clothes and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Then do you know Donghai Island?" Murong Ling'er continued to ask without giving up.
"Donghai Island? Never heard of it." The old man shook his head, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, as if he was guessing where this suddenly appearing woman came from.
The Golden Eagle King was completely bewildered. His mind was in a state of confusion. How could this place not even know about Longmen City and Donghai Island? What the hell had they ended up in?
Murong Linger took a deep breath and asked directly, "Old man, may I ask which country's waters are this?"
"Little girl, this is Min'an Country. Judging from your appearance, this is your first time visiting our Min'an Country, right?" the old man replied with a smile.
"What? We have arrived in Min'an Country?" The Golden Eagle King screamed, and his originally proud head drooped in an instant, and his wings hung limply.
Murong Ling'er was also stunned. She never thought that just a voyage to sea to collect herbs would lead to the deviating voyage to a neighboring country. Zhao State and Min'an State were adjacent to each other. Although the two countries were both powerful countries, their relationship had always been delicate, and small-scale wars would occasionally break out.
Now is a sensitive period for the marriage between the two countries, and she can't help but worry about the domestic situation, especially Princess Min'an, and she doesn't know what the situation is like now.
However, these important affairs of the court were probably unknown to these ordinary fishermen, so Murong Ling'er swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She looked at the unfamiliar coastline in front of her, secretly thinking about her next plan. A new adventure seemed to be quietly beginning.
……
Murong Ling'er set foot on the land of Min'an Country. The sea breeze blew in her face with a strange smell. Every inch of land under her feet was full of unknown. She looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart was filled with curiosity about the new environment.
After asking the elderly and middle-aged people in detail about the situation in Dongjian Town, she headed towards that place full of the atmosphere of life without hesitation.
As soon as you arrive at the Dongjian Town ferry, the bustling scene catches your eye.
The dock was bustling with people, merchant ships and fishing boats were docked densely on the shore, and porters were carrying heavy cargo, walking hurriedly and shouting one after another.
The hawkers' cries interweave together to form a lively melody of the market.
"Woman, this Dongjian Town is much more lively than Longmen City!"
The Golden Eagle King excitedly flew up from Murong Ling'er's shoulder, circled in the air, and then landed back on her shoulder. He rubbed his head against her cheek, his golden eyes full of curiosity.
Murong Ling'er nodded slightly and glanced at the bustling crowd.
She thought of Longmen City. The He family's influence was like an impenetrable net, monopolizing too many businesses. Many ambitious merchants were overwhelmed and left one after another, causing Longmen City to gradually lose its former vitality.
But the Dongjian Town in front of us is completely different. There are all kinds of shops and stalls next to each other. All walks of life are flourishing and it is very bustling.
A man and a sculpture walked on the busy street and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
The Golden Eagle King has a nimble figure, and his feathers sparkle with golden light in the sun, which is already eye-catching. Murong Ling'er is dressed in white clothes that are whiter than snow, and her cold temperament seems as if she is not of this world. Her beautiful face is even more eye-catching.
This unique combination attracted the attention of passers-by, some of whom stopped to stare, while others whispered and pointed.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the Golden Eagle King was not only not stage-frightened, but became even more proud.
It held its head high, chest puffed out, its eyes rolling around, and shouted excitedly, "Women, do you see that? I'm just so charming! These people are completely captivated by me. I guess they're all thinking about taking me home and treating me like a treasure!"
"Humph! They think they can support me? They don't even consider whether they have the ability to do so. They can't afford to support me with my appetite!"
The Golden Eagle King became more and more excited as he spoke, jumping up and down on Murong Ling'er's shoulder.
"Woman, you have to keep a close eye on me. So many people are eyeing me. I don't want to be captured by those guys with bad intentions."
The Golden Eagle King recalled his previous experiences. Those people tried every means to capture him. Some set traps, and some used hidden weapons. Fortunately, he was very powerful and was able to escape danger every time, making those people pay a heavy price.
The reason why it followed Murong Ling'er willingly was, on the one hand, that it was completely crushed by her in terms of strength and had no power to fight back; on the other hand, it was a helpless act. Only by staying by Murong Ling'er could it avoid the endless pursuit.
Although it is the king of the golden eagle clan and is extremely arrogant, it also understands that a man who knows the times is a hero.
Murong Ling'er turned a deaf ear to the Golden Eagle King's chatter. She looked calm, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. She strolled leisurely on the street, admiring the buildings and shops on the street, secretly thinking about how to settle down in this strange place.
