Sure enough, if you don't court disaster, you won't die.

Why provoke anyone else? It's better to discuss these things privately, yet you dared to speak ill of the king in front of Xiaocao.

Aren't you just asking for trouble?

"Alright, ready now."

Yang Yan held a fishing rod and said with a smile.

Yang Yan cast the fishing line and then lay on the deck chair to leisurely fish.

Fatty crawled up from the side and, without a hint of complaint, quietly started fishing with another rod.

Zhou Hanyun and the other women basked in the sun on the deck, while Cai'Er and Ruyi, led by Zhou Hanyu, had great fun in the swimming pool.

"I greet you, Moonlight Emperor."

Suddenly, a somewhat abrupt voice sounded.

Beside the yacht, a small boat had appeared unnoticed.

A tall man stood on the small boat.

Yang Yan leaned out to take a look, frowned, and said:

"Who are you?"

"This is a gift our king sends to Lord Moonlight."

The man finished speaking, tossed a package at Yang Yan, then turned around and vanished.

Yang Yan looked at the package in front of him, puzzled, staring at the direction in which the man disappeared, saying nothing.

At this time, Red Dust also came to Yang Yan's side, suspiciously looking at the package on the ground.

"What is this thing?"

Fatty asked curiously.

"I don't know. The guy said nothing, only that it was sent by his king. Heaven knows what it is."

While speaking, Yang Yan squatted down to pick up the package, then slowly tore it open.

Inside was a red birdcage, with a...

Vermilion Bird!

Fatty glanced in the direction the man disappeared, then suddenly rushed towards it and vanished too.

"King, this Vermilion Bird seems to be poisoned."

Red Dust frowned and said.

Fatty, who had rushed out, returned, unwillingly saying:

"It's gone, no trace at all."

"Looks like someone has been watching us all along! Actually managed to find us here. Now, besides Cyan Dragon, the rest of the Four Symbols are gathered here with you."

Fatty said somewhat mockingly.

Yang Yan looked at the Vermilion Bird in his hand, extended his index finger to bite it, then dropped two drops of blood on the bird, and placed it aside.

"Don't bother with it. I came over today on a whim, and they managed to find me. Moreover, they mentioned their king, the range is already much smaller."

"We'll investigate this slowly when we return. Right now we're here to have fun, let's not discuss unpleasant matters."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Fatty and Red Dust glanced at Yang Yan and then returned to their tasks.

Red Dust continued to sleep, while Fatty quietly fished.

And he tried to stay as far away from Yang Yan as possible, to avoid being seen as a nuisance again.

"Dad, when will you catch a fish? I'm getting a bit hungry."

Ruyi said from the side.

"Uh, this... today, these fish, I don't know what's going on. They just keep not biting!"

Yang Yan said helplessly.

"Oh! Seems like no luck with food today."

Ruyi sighed lightly and turned to play with Cai'Er.

"No choice, I'm being forced to use my ace here!"

Seeing Ruyi's disappointed look, Yang Yan gently put down the fishing rod, stood up, and walked to the side.

"Hey hey hey! Moonlight, what are you doing?"

The Black Tortoise, which had been lying on the deck sunbathing, suddenly found itself being lifted, and struggled to say.

"What else can I do? Quickly go catch some fish for me. Otherwise, we'll be having a cold breeze for dinner tonight."

Yang Yan said coldly.

"Hey! You're disrespecting the great Black Tortoise, I won't succumb!"

The Black Tortoise roared in struggle.

Yet Yang Yan ignored it and directly walked to the ship's side, throwing the Black Tortoise forcefully into the distant sea:

"Don't forget to bring back some big tuna, sashimi is nice too!"

The Black Tortoise's efficiency was quite high.

In no time, it caught some especially large tuna back, which Mu Qingcheng sliced into thin pieces and placed on the dining table.

"Ah! So satisfying!"

Zhou Hanyu said, touching her belly with a sigh.

"Yeah, had a really fulfilling meal!"

Zhuge Wushuang immediately echoed.

"Why don't we go shopping? Perfect to walk off the meal."

Zhuge Wushuang suddenly suggested.

"Hey, are there shops here too?"

Zhou Hanyu asked curiously.

"Of course! Except for the people here being from the Hidden World, everything else isn't much different from the current world, and there are plenty of shops too."

"And those shops sell Hidden World items too. You'll definitely be interested."

Zhuge Wushuang said enticingly.

Zhou Hanyu's cheerful nature paired with Zhuge Wushuang's carefree manner made them get along well, at least on the surface.

Whereas Zhou Hanyun and Mu Qingcheng seemed relatively more mature and rational, giving them plenty to talk about when together.

Watching Zhou Hanyu and Zhuge Wushuang, who seemed no different from lunatics, Yang Yan shook his head helplessly, continuing to fish.

The bluefin tuna sashimi was indeed nice, but he still hoped he'd catch one or two to make grilled fish.

"Wow! She can get along so well with Zhuge, looks like that girl is quite the Little Witch too!"

Fatty said thoughtfully from the side.

"I'm going to tell Wushuang about that."

Xiaocao handed Yang Yan a cocktail and said with an air of mystery.

"Uh... Please don't! Xiaocao, we're so close, you can't just sell me out like that! I misspoke, just babbling incoherently."

Fatty exclaimed and quickly pleaded.

"Alright, enough chatter. When we get back, you two start investigating today's man. Also, check into the origins of the Vermilion Bird."

"It's getting more and more interesting, seems like someone's restless to make a move on us!"

Yang Yan squinted slightly, then said calmly.

Fatty and Xiaocao looked at Yang Yan's expression and knew he was genuinely angry.

No matter what their purpose is, at least for now, they've successfully enraged the Dark Night Emperor, one of the Four Emperors.

"Should we call Jing Hong and the others back? I can't shake the feeling that we're the real target here."

Red Dust, who was sleeping at the side, frowned and reminded.

"No need. When we return tomorrow, Xiaocao and Fatty will start their investigation, no need to call Jing Hong and the others back for now."

Yang Yan shook his head gently.

"Um... What do you think a cat is planning if it's circling a bird in a cage?"

Black Tortoise, lying on the deck sunbathing, unexpectedly came out with a remark.

"What plan? Of course, it's thinking of eating it!"

Yang Yan's words had barely left his mouth when his smile froze on his face.
