After a short while, sounds of movement came from outside the cabin. Jiang Yun, dressed in white, appeared at the cabin door again, but this time he was carrying a cloth parcel. The parcel was very big and bulging. No one knew what it was.
Jiang Yun placed the parcel on the table.
"What is this?" Qin Xiaoxi looked at him strangely.
"Open it and take a look, " Jiang Yun said and walked out of the cabin door, preparing to untie the rope connecting the port.
"So mysterious..." Qin Xiaoxi muttered as she watched Jiang Yun walk out of the cabin door.. She reached out and opened the parcel, and she saw two bags inside, one big and one small. She curiously untied the small one, but it was actually not small at all. There was a row of griddle cakes inside. Qin Xiaoxi poked at them with her hand. The outer part of the griddle cakes was very crisp and hard. After taking one out, she found that the griddle cake was also very big. It was as big as Jiang Yun's face.
Qin Xiaoxi went closer and took a sniff. The griddle cake still had some fragrance.
It seemed that Jiang Yun had prepared well. He had even prepared the rations for her on the way.
She put down the small bag and looked at the big one next to it.
The bag was very big. It seemed that it was the one that made the parcel bulge.
Qin Xiaoxi opened it and saw a thick gray fur coat fell out. The color was really ugly no matter how one looked at it. Qin Xiaoxi took it out and spread it on the table to take a look. Although the fur coat looked extremely ugly, but it was really warm.
There was another set in the bag.
It seemed that Jiang Yun had already prepared Qin Xiaoxi's portion too.
Of course, there were also thick woolen pants in the bag. Qin Xiaoxi didn't need to look at them to know that they definitely were as ugly as the top.
On the other side, Jiang Yun had already untied the rope.
The boat was no longer bound and was being pushed by the waves bit by bit.
Jiang Yun quickly used the steering wheel to change the direction of the boat. Then, he walked to the stern and raised the sail.
The moment the sail was raised, a lot of dust fell. As expected, the boat was really old, even the sail had a lot of holes.
Jiang Yun opened the worn-out compass. After the compass rotated once, the north side was fixed on his right side.
Jiang Yun stretched out his hand to feel the wind. The wind direction today was coming from the south, which really gave him a helping hand. By riding the wind, they might be able to reach the Northern Region faster. If nothing unexpected happened, they only needed to sail for seven or eight days.
At this moment, the boat also made a gurgling sound. Then, it slowly sailed towards the sea.
Jiang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he went into the cabin.
"So you know how to steer boats." Qin Xiaoxi looked at him in shock. She really didn't expect that the Sect Master of the Deity Sect actually knew how to sail. She wondered if there was anything that Jiang Yun didn't know.
"Right? It's much better than you going to the Northern Region alone." Jiang Yun smiled and then moved a chair to sit beside Qin Xiaoxi.
Qin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yun."Oh, please!"
"But I really didn't expect you to have prepared everything. Food and clothes." Qin Xiaoxi looked at the table full of food and clothes and nodded in disbelief."You're more thoughtful and thorough."
"Of course." Jiang Yun nodded in satisfaction and then prepared to put away the clothes on the table.
"But the clothes are too ugly."
Jiang Yun was amused and vexed at the same time. He didn't expect Qin Xiaoxi to be so demanding."I have no choice. At that kind of place, I can only buy these things."
"How about you put them on and show me first." Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun with a wicked smile. She wanted to see what Jiang Yun would look like in this animal fur coat.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi, who was trying to stifle her laughter.
"Nothing... then..."Qin Xiaoxi quickly held her expression.
"Hmm? Then what?" Jiang Yun asked.
"Then how are we going to sleep at night?"
Jiang Yun was silent for a while. When Qin Xiaoxi asked, she felt that her question was very strange, but she didn't know why.
"How to sleep? I remember there should be some dry straws at the bottom of the cabin, so we can only use those to make the bed first. If you're afraid of them pricking you, you can take a coat to put on it as a cushion first, " Jiang Yun said as he looked at the secret door that had been opened.
"Okay." Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
He didn't know if Qin Xiaoxi would get used to sleeping on a dry straw bed. After all, she was a girl from a rich family. It might be the first time in her life that she slept on straws.
"You'll have to suffer from some inconveniences first. After we find the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, then you can return to Thunder City and sleep on a big bed." Jiang Yun took out a griddle cake and took a bite.
"It's okay... It's not like I haven't lied on one before." Qin Xiaoxi smiled.
This shocked Jiang Yun. It seemed that for the three years that she had gone out to train, she had suffered a lot. No wonder... Qin Xiaoxi was completely different from the rich kids he had met.
Jiang Yun didn't say anything else.
"According to the wind force now, we'll probably reach the Northern Region in a week."
"I heard that wretched old man mention the sea demon... Are they real?" Qin Xiaoxi suddenly thought of something and asked.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid?"
"Who's afraid! I'm just curious!" Qin Xiaoxi muttered.
Jiang Yun's lips curled up slightly. He felt more and more that Qin Xiaoxi was actually quite cute.
"It's just a legend. Maybe thee people who went out to sea panicked in the storm and mistook the flying fishes in the sea for sea demons."
"Then you probably know a little about them?"
"They're generally described as monsters with a human's body and a fish's tail, with a harpoon in their hands. They devour the people who get lost in the storm on the sea. In my opinion, these are all just made-up nonsense, stories from the boatmen who scare themselves. But it might not be all fake." Jiang Yun's expression was a little solemn when he said this.
"Right? You even said that the Snowmen Clan of the Northern Region is real. I think you know about the various ferocious beasts outside of Thunder City."
