Chapter 294: Chapter 294 The Overbearing Zi Xiao (2)_1

Dugu Qianye and her two companions had noticed Zhou Hai nearby, steering his small boat. Seeing his square, honest, and simple face, she smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother." Then she swam toward the small boat.

Luckily, all three of them knew how to swim. If they hadn’t, they might have drowned upon their arrival here!

They quickly got onto Zhou Hai’s boat. From the outside, Zhou Hai’s boat looked small, but they realized that it actually had a spacious interior once they were on board. Inside were some fishing nets and a few fish that had been caught.

"Here, put this on."

Because her clothes were soaked and clinging to her body, Dugu Qianye’s fiery figure was fully exposed. Zi Xiao took out one of his own coats from his Space Ring and draped it over Dugu Qianye.

After Dugu Qianye put on Zi Xiao’s coat, she looked at Zhou Hai and asked, "Big brother, what should I call you?"

"Hehe, just call me Zhou Hai," Zhou Hai replied, "Hang on a moment, I’ll just haul in this net of fish and then I’ll take you back."

Zhou Hai began to gather the nets he had spread out after finishing speaking. Dugu Qianye sat on the edge of the boat, watching while chatting with Zhou Hai.

"You’re from another realm, aren’t you? Hehe, I’ve been fishing in these seas for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone thrown out here by a portal," Zhou Hai said.

"I’ve always had a feud with it; every time it doesn’t land me anywhere nice," Dugu Qianye replied. "Big brother, where are we, exactly?"

"This is the Blue Sea Domain. We’re currently on the edge of the Blue Sea," Zhou Hai said slowly while pulling the net back in and responding to Dugu Qianye’s question.

"Don’t you fear encountering Spiritual Beasts when you fish here?" Dugu Qianye continued.

"Haha, the Blue Sea Domain is divided into regions. The area we’re in now is the outer region, which is a few dozen nautical miles near the coastline. Only ordinary species of sea fish are found here. If you go further in, that’s where the Spiritual Beasts are. Anyone who carelessly ventures there would be in danger. Our area here is safe," Zhou Hai explained, and with that, he pulled up the fishing net and found the catch to be quite good.

Hao Pengyou found it amusing and ran over to help Zhou Hai pull, who asked Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao to move to the stern and then joined Hao Pengyou to haul the net up. When the net came up, the fish still leapt about on it.

Zhou Hai took the fish out one by one, then rinsed his hands in the seawater before steering the boat back home.

"My wife makes delicious fish; when we get back, she’ll cook a full set of fish dishes for you." Happy with the day’s catch, Zhou Hai was in a good mood.

Listening to Zhou Hai, Dugu Qianye thought he was just an ordinary person incapable of cultivation, but when she saw him using Spiritual Power to propel the boat, she realized he was also a Spiritual Master. His level wasn’t high, and he lived a simple life in a small fishing village, which was a happiness of its own.

The small boat, propelled by Spiritual Power, moved swiftly and soon they arrived at the shore. Zhou Hai, with a basket of fish on his shoulder, led everyone toward his home.

Walking behind him, Dugu Qianye asked Hao Pengyou, "Is the Feng Family far from here? Are there any Transmission Arrays nearby?"

Hao Pengyou shook his head and said, "I don’t know."

"Aren’t you from the Yuling Continent? How do you not know?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"The Yuling Continent is so vast, and I’m not familiar with the coastal areas. Besides, I spent most of my life in the Spirit Void Continent, so I’m not clear about things here. I only know some of the major forces," Hao Pengyou said.

Dugu Qianye looked at Hao Pengyou in silence, feeling more and more that he was just a liability! She had thought that he would have a better understanding of the area, considering how he looked, but it turned out he only had the advantage of being born here.

A small courtyard soon appeared before everyone, and from a long way off, Zhou Hai shouted toward the house, "Wife, we have guests at home, come out quickly."

At the sound of Zhou Hai’s voice, a woman who looked to be in her twenties with her hair done up in a matron’s bun emerged. She was pretty and had a good figure, and even her coarse clothes couldn’t hide her temperament. She opened the gate of the courtyard and said, "Please come in. Old Zhou, take the fish to the kitchen, and I will prepare something for them to eat. Our home is quite modest, so please make do. Have a seat for a while, and I’ll make you some tea."

Dugu Qianye looked around, noticing how simple yet tidy the house was. Shortly after, Zhou Hai’s wife brought over four cups of tea. She gave them three and left one aside. After telling them to make themselves at home, she plunged back into the kitchen.

Dugu Qianye observed their life and felt that such an ordinary lifestyle was now so far away from her. Since coming to this world, her life had been nothing but cultivation, contests, and brawls, almost making her forget what an ordinary life felt like.

"If you wish, we could live like this too in the future," Zi Xiao said, looking at Dugu Qianye with a gaze full of nostalgia and expectation.

Dugu Qianye glanced at Zi Xiao but didn’t say a word, just lowering her head to drink her tea.

Zhou Hai placed the fish in the kitchen, changed his clothes, and then came out to join Dugu Qianye and the others. Seeing the tea his wife had left for him, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Zhou, we’ve just arrived and don’t know much about the area. We were hoping my fellow apprentice would know more, but he’s only half-learned. Could you fill us in on the situation here?" Dugu Qianye requested.

Zhou Hai let out a hearty laugh and replied, "Of course. The Yuling Continent mainly consists of the East Continent and the West Continent, divided by the Heze Mountain range and the Beiwang River. We are currently in the East Continent, which is primarily divided into commanderies, while the West Continent is divided into countries. I’ve never been to the West Continent, so I don’t know much about it."

"Do you know of the Feng Family?" Dugu Qianye inquired.

"The Feng Family? Of course! The Feng Family is considered a second-tier family in our East Continent—they have branches in many commanderies. To manage affairs, there is a family assembly every five years. Other families do the same."

"Second-tier family?" Dugu Qianye didn’t understand.

"Ah, ha-ha, the powers here include families, guilds, commandery princesses, and sects. Hmm, I suppose the Divine Temple counts as a sect. If we’re talking about the strongest powers and highest statuses, then the Divine Temple and the guilds are at the top. The Divine Temple, Alchemist Guild, Refiners Guild, Beast Trainer Guild, and Spiritual Master Association—these are the most formidable. They are also the ones we dare not offend," Zhou Hai explained.

"The Divine Temple?" Dugu Qianye exclaimed in surprise, "There is a Divine Temple here too?"

"Yes. The main hall of the Divine Temple is actually in the West Continent. There are many branches in the East Continent, and our area is currently being managed by people from the Divine Temple. Sigh," sighed Zhou Hai, continuing, "The Divine Temple claims to represent righteousness, but they’re actually involved in a lot of shady deeds. Especially as of late..."

At that moment, Zhou Hai’s wife walked in, heard them talking about the Divine Temple, and her face immediately soured. She glared at him and said, "There you go talking about the Divine Temple again. Be careful lest someone from the Temple hears you, and you end up like that person from the neighboring village, snatched away and never to return!"
