"Haha! I guarantee it! Please come aboard!"
The boss said with a chuckle, though his smile felt somewhat eerie.
Ye Feng didn't pay it any mind. He quickly paid the fare and boarded the ship with Chu Ling'er.
Upon entering the cabin, Ye Feng found it quite crowded, with over a dozen people.
As Ye Feng and Chu Ling'er walked in, all eyes turned to them.
Ye Feng's gaze swept over them one by one, and he immediately noticed that none of them were ordinary. Each possessed a powerful aura.
Just then, a burly, broad-shouldered man spoke up, "Boss, is that enough? We have fifteen people already!"
The boss, hearing this, walked in and said with a smile, "Yes, it's about time! I'll set sail immediately!"
A moment later, with the roar of engines, the ship slowly began to move.
However, as soon as the ship departed, a group of people rushed to the dock, watching the departing vessel with immense frustration.
But the ship was already gone. No matter how angry they were, it was useless. They had no choice but to turn back and leave.
Not long after, they arrived at the hospital.
The middle-aged man with a full beard frowned upon seeing them and asked, "Why are you back? Did you find them?"
"Re-report, Chairman, those two took a boat to the Misty Sea Domain!" the person stammered, trembling.
Upon hearing this, the Chairman exploded with rage and slapped him.
"Useless! All of you are useless! How could you let them escape in such a short time?" The Chairman was so angry he could have exploded.
However, another person spoke up, "Chairman, those who go to the Misty Sea Domain have a nine out of ten chance of not returning alive!"
"That's right, that's right! Even if they do return alive, they will eventually come back here. We'll just wait here!" the man who was slapped quickly chimed in.
Hearing this, the Chairman's mood improved slightly. "Good! I hope he doesn't die, or it would be too easy for him! Watch them carefully. Inform me the moment they return!"
"Yes! Chairman!" The two men nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, on the ship.
After the ship set sail, the boss addressed everyone, "Esteemed guests, my surname is Huang. You can call me Boss Huang! The journey to the Misty Sea Domain will take approximately three days! If the weather changes, it might take longer!"
As he spoke, he produced several keys and handed them to everyone. "Therefore, we have prepared a small cabin for each of you for your rest! Here are the keys to your cabins!"
The guests took the keys one by one.
After Ye Feng received his key, the boss handed another key to Chu Ling'er.
But the girl spoke up, "I don't want it. I want to share a room with Brother Ye Feng!"
"What? You want to share a room with me? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to do so!" Ye Feng said speechlessly.
But Chu Ling'er insisted, "I don't care, I want to share a room with you!"
Just as Ye Feng was about to object, the boss winked and smiled, "If the young lady doesn't mind, why should you, a grown man, mind? Besides, I don't have many rooms, so it'll be less trouble!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to agree.
Afterward, everyone retreated to their respective cabins to rest.
Ye Feng had intended to rest properly, even preparing to cultivate and break through to the fifth layer of the Sea God's cultivation technique.
However, Chu Ling'er was a restless soul. She kept looking around, asking Ye Feng this and that, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, but they were still far from their destination. Feeling bored, Ye Feng went to the deck to look around.
It was a cloudy day, with no wind, rain, or sun, giving off a gloomy feeling.
The sea was also calm, like a stagnant pool, which made Ye Feng feel uneasy.
Moreover, for some reason, the further they sailed towards the Misty Sea Domain, the more Ye Feng felt a sense of oppression.
After watching for a while, Ye Feng shook his head. "Forget it! Perhaps it's just because it's my first time traveling so far, and I'm not used to it!"
With that, Ye Feng returned to his cabin to meditate and cultivate.
"Everyone, it's time for dinner! Please come out and eat!"
A voice rang out shortly after.
Upon hearing that dinner was served, Chu Ling'er was delighted and hurried out.
Seeing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to follow.
It had to be said that although the ship wasn't very large, it had small cabins, a dining room, a kitchen, and a restroom, making it a perfect example of a small but complete establishment.
Soon, they arrived at the small dining room.
The food consisted entirely of fish. Ye Feng took a bite and lost his appetite.
Compared to the fish from Ye Feng's Sea God Company, these were worlds apart.
After taking a bite, Chu Ling'er spat it out and exclaimed, "Damn it, what kind of fish is this! It's disgusting!"
However, seeing this, the others took a few bites and commented, "It's alright! Although it's not very tasty, it's not that bad!"
"Not that bad? The fish from our Huaxia Sea God Company is ten thousand times better than this. I wish I had brought some!" Chu Ling'er said disdainfully.
Ye Feng was surprised that this little girl also liked his company's fish.
However, the others heard this and looked disbelieving, as the best fish they had ever tasted wasn't much better than this.
Therefore, they had no idea what Chu Ling'er meant by "ten thousand times better."
"Ten thousand times? Is there really that delicious fish? You're exaggerating!" a silver-haired woman said indifferently.
Chu Ling'er became indignant but had no proof. She could only say, "The fish from our Huaxia Sea God Company is really delicious. If you don't believe me, then so be it!"
The silver-haired woman smiled and said, "Alright, if you don't eat, you'll starve!"
With that, they all began to eat.
These people were all rough individuals who lived by their wits. They didn't pay much attention to the taste of food.
In their eyes, as long as the food could fill their stomachs, it was fine.
Ye Feng saw Chu Ling'er pouting and said, "Why don't you just eat it and make do?"
"How can I eat such disgusting fish!" Chu Ling'er said, crossing her arms and looking extremely annoyed.
Ye Feng felt utterly helpless.
He figured that Chu Ling'er must be a young lady from a prominent family, likely spoiled with her tastes.
Ye Feng shook his head and said to Chu Ling'er, "Wait here for a moment!"
With that, Ye Feng walked towards the kitchen, taking out two cans of fish from his spatial ring as he went.
That's right, they were fish cans processed from the Sea God Company's fish!
Ye Feng had brought some with him when he came and stored them in his spatial ring for emergencies. He hadn't expected to use them so soon.
Entering the kitchen, he intended to greet the chef and borrow some utensils to heat the fish cans.
But when he looked inside, there was no one there, which puzzled him.
He didn't pay it much mind and went to the cooking utensils, starting to prepare his fish cans.
However, at that moment, he heard crunching sounds from a room behind the kitchen, along with murmuring discussions and a pungent, fishy odor.
Curious, Ye Feng turned down the heat a little and peeked through the crack in the door.
What he saw made him freeze on the spot...
