"Wu lala lala···"

Grandpa Orange sat at the bow of the Floating Cloud Ship, mouth agape, welcoming the gale that rushed towards his face, while making a series of strange noises.

"Liang Yi, you're something else, meow, crossing over the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent just like that!"

Grandpa Orange turned his head with a look of resentment to see Liang Yi, who was lying behind him sunbathing, considering that the Blood Control Sect and the Senluo Wanxiang Sect were located at the far southwest end of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, while Medicine Valley, the Refining Sect, and the Little Bamboo House were in the far north.

This was indeed a direct crossing over the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent!

After several days, Grandpa Orange, who couldn't sit still, was almost bored to death, and even his beloved dried fish snacks couldn't alleviate his irritation.

"Your lordship is getting seasick, meow!" Grandpa Orange dove toward Liang Yi with a pounce and began rolling back and forth on the deck.

He didn't need to cultivate at all, so his daily concerns were how to make each day joyful, how to eat and sleep most comfortably, instead of choosing to enter closed-door cultivation to pass the time like Liu Rouxin.

"Hmm... What is he doing?"

Two graceful figures emerged from the cabin, one with red hair and one with red pupils: Su Youyi and Zhou Yuqing.

"Senior Zhou, have you finished your retreat?" Liang Yi stepped on the rolling Grandpa Orange, enjoying the foot mat that came his way, and turned to look at Zhou Yuqing.

"Mm, I just finished and came out." Zhou Yuqing scooped a spoonful of a sweet dessert known as ice jelly into her mouth while speaking, instantly the sweetness and coolness spread all over her body, and the unique texture tumbled in her mouth.

"It's delicious···"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Yuqing's eyes, she didn't expect Su Youyi could make such delicious food.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Yuqing, but it was my senior brother who taught me how to make this." Su Youyi smiled sweetly, serving a freshly made bowl of ice jelly to her senior brother and to Grandpa Orange who was sprawled on the ground.

"I merely told you the principle and the recipe. Receiving Senior Zhou's praise is due to your own effort." Liang Yi wasn't one to take undue credit; his junior sister's culinary skills were peculiar in some aspects, but they weren't beyond redemption.

Before, he had casually mentioned wanting to have ice jelly because it was hot, and his junior sister got interested and insisted he share with her the ingredients and recipe of this sweet.

Liang Yi looked down, inside the blue and white porcelain bowl was a pale red, crystal-clear liquid that flowed like beautiful jade, along with neatly cut transparent cubes, and around them were various exotic fruit particles scavenged from Grandpa Orange.

This Otherworld ice jelly looked very tempting; a light chill drifted from the bowl, making Liang Yi's mind significantly cooler.

"Let me taste... " Liang Yi could hardly wait, he had planned to gulp it down no matter what his junior sister had made.

But now, it seems that his junior sister has an unexpected talent.

Under Su Youyi's expectant gaze, Liang Yi scooped a full spoonful with a white porcelain spoon and sent it to his mouth.

"It's delicious!"

Following the feedback from his taste buds, Liang Yi's eyes lit up, echoing Zhou Yuqing's sentiment, he even scooped two more spoonfuls eagerly into his mouth.

"Senior brother, take it slow···" Su Youyi's eyes curved like crescent moons, she reminded him with a sweet chuckle.

Seeing her senior brother's reaction made Su Youyi feel even sweeter in her heart than when she first tasted the ice jelly.

"Quick, quick, quick, another bowl for this lord, meow!"

A bowl as clean as a new one was put up in front of Su Youyi, with Mr. Orange's eager face appearing right away, still hanging with a drop of water from his hasty gobbling.

"Kitchen still has some, go serve yourself, and remember to leave some for Sister Liu..." Su Youyi said with a light laugh, touching Mr. Orange's head, and then casually pointed toward the cabin behind.

But before she could finish, Mr. Orange dashed straight to the back kitchen in a flash.

"Sister, with your cooking skills, even if we stop cultivating in the future, we'll definitely have no worries about food and clothing," Liang Yi said with a content smile, after finishing the last drop of soup from his bowl and wiping his mouth.

"In... the future?" Su Youyi's face turned red in an instant, her mind spontaneously conjuring up an image of her and her senior brother living incognito as an old couple in a mortal city in a thousand years, supporting each other, with the sound of morning bells and evening drums, living a happy life selling ice jelly.

"Oh?" Zhou Yuqing, who was still savoring her unfinished ice jelly, looked at Liang Yi and then at Su Youyi, eating with gusto.

"You thieving cur!!! Your life is forfeit!!!"

A thunderous shout came from the back cabin, almost scaring Liang Yi out of his wits.

"Don't blame me, meow, what do you want to do?" Mr. Orange's muffled voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

"Ah..." Liang Yi covered his face with his hand, sighing. What kind of trouble were these two treasures stirring up again?

Boom—

The sound of collision and explosion came from the rear deck, and two streaks of shadow shot straight into the sky.

Su Youyi exchanged a glance with Liang Yi, deciding to check the situation first.

Zhou Yuqing calmly finished the last bite of ice jelly in her bowl, clapped her hands, and with a big wave, a Vermilion Bird materialized out of thin air in the sky, behind the two colliding streaks of light. It grabbed a person and a cat like little chicks and brought them back, dropping them onto the deck.

"It's not good to damage the ship." Zhou Yuqing, standing with a smile on the side, looked at the two on the deck.

"What are you two... doing?"

Liang Yi looked baffled at Mr. Orange, who was puffing his cheeks as if he was choking, and at Liu Rouxin, who looked so aggrieved she could burst into tears.

"Gurgle gurgle... This crazy woman stabbed me with a gun, meow!" After Mr. Orange managed to swallow what was in his mouth, he jumped about and hid behind Liang Yi, choosing to play the victim first.

"That's nonsense!" Liu Rouxin clenched her long spear again in her hand, looking about to get angry again.

"Sister Liu, calm down, tell us what happened." Su Youyi moved next to Liu Rouxin, smiling and gently patting the back of her hand.

Liang Yi, on the other hand, grabbed Mr. Orange by the neck and held him in front of his face, eyeing the damp mustache and the round belly suspiciously.

"What are you looking at, meow?" Mr. Orange bashfully tightened his legs—though a cat, he had his own privacy!

"What did you snatch from her?" Liang Yi, seeing Mr. Orange's somewhat guilty look, quickly guessed what had happened.

"That woman wanted to take my ice jelly, meow. I got excited and gulped it down with the spoon. She got mad and started to hit me, meow." Mr. Orange weakly recounted what happened.

"..."

Liang Yi was speechless. This Mr. Orange might as well change his name to 'Cheeky Cat.' If he doesn't get smacked for this, Liang Yi thought, Liu Rouxin has a really good temper.

"Don't be mad anymore, this dessert isn't some rare Spirit Food. Once we reach the next city, we'll go in and buy some ingredients, and I'll make you some more in a variety of ways," Su Youyi comforted Liu Rouxin, who had tears in her eyes, with a smile and a pat on her head.
