The extreme reversals and thrilling battles on Glazed Island were unknown to Chen Xu.
He was not an Immortal; he neither had the ability to foresee the future nor could he predict everything without fail.
The Spiritual Cicada Jade Robe did possess certain divination abilities, but it could only be used once every ten days, and each divination required paying some price.
Therefore, Chen Xu did not perform divination every ten days.
Unless at some moment he had a sudden whim, feeling a peculiar sensation, or there was an important matter to inquire from the Spiritual Cicada Jade Robe.
The Shimmering Star Water Monarch sent a wisp of wind from afar, making the tower ship feel as though it had sprouted wings.
Chen Xu felt that today's experience was strange and interesting, with a sense as if a legendary story had shone into the real world.
The little hedgehog also came to the window of the guest room, just like the little mouse—
The view here was excellent.
The window was half-open, allowing a view of the swiftly receding sunset horizon, and the bright moon that gradually rose in the dim celestial glow like a jade disc.
Thereafter, it cast silver waves over the vast water surface.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but exclaim:
"The water, sky, and moonlight make an extremely beautiful scene. Brother Chen, the ship travels so fast, yet under the moonlight, I feel as though the ship beneath us is slowly moving in the evening breeze.
Such a marvel, the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's magic is truly astonishing.
However, this monster was insincere before and courteous after, which I don't really like."
The little hedgehog had always carried a demeanor of propriety and gentlemanliness, rarely expressing such direct dislike to Chen Xu.
But after saying he disliked it, he felt his words too harsh, showing embarrassment on his face, he turned and said:
"However, as the wise say, 'Knowing one's mistakes and being able to correct them is the greatest virtue.'
He... he doesn't seem to have done anything terribly wrong, yet I still don't like him, am I being too petty?"
These words made Chen Xu laugh.
Chen Xu didn't directly respond to Wei Yuan but instead asked the little mouse, "Ah Shi, Ah Yuan says he's being too petty. What do you think?"
The little mouse Ah Shi also squatted by the window.
Having always hidden with Master Jiu, even during rare moments of respite, it often lingered in the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, masking its demon aura with the vibrancy of human life.
Yet, at such times, aboard the tower ship, looking down upon the vast misty waters—
This kind of scene was something it had never before witnessed.
Ah Shi felt that since following Chen Xu, in a short time, it had seen more wondrous views than in years past.
The most intriguing part was that its perspective had completely changed.
Standing higher, naturally, it could see farther.
So when Chen Xu suddenly asked, Ah Shi recalled Wei Yuan's words and replied:
"A hedgehog being petty? That Water Monarch, if you dislike him, then dislike him; if you like him, then like him. Whether like or dislike, it's nothing unusual.
Is there really a need to dwell on it and question yourself repeatedly?
For instance, sometimes I don't like you, hedgehog, and I say it directly, but I never force myself to like you."
After saying this, Ah Shi let out a squeaky laugh.
Wei Yuan: …
Wei Yuan froze, the entire hedgehog stunned.
Its soft spines stood on end, in that moment, truly feeling the height of embarrassment.
All along, it presented itself as magnanimous before the little mouse; never had there been a moment when the mouse left it speechless and blushing.
In that instant, it pondered what to do?
Should it turn and flee?
That certainly was impossible, as to leave would be to surrender the ground.
Yet, if it stayed—
After a moment's daze, Wei Yuan suddenly clasped its hands in front, then bowed to the little mouse:
"Ah Shi, you are right, I am indeed being too petty, hesitant, and conflicted.
It turns out one should find joy in joy, anger in anger, and let emotions flow from the heart to be authentic.
Thank you for teaching me, Wei Yuan is taught."
With this genuine bow of thanks, it left the little mouse stunned.
The little mouse puffed its chest, raising its tiny chin.
After a moment's thought, it pressed its raised chin down towards its neck, lest it appear overly arrogant and pleased.
Then, it revealed two front teeth, eyes smiling into crescents as it said: "Actually, I didn't teach you anything. Ahem...
Also, now I actually don't dislike you anymore.
Wei Yuan, tonight is again the fifteenth, the moon is so round.
And in less than two weeks, the scholar is going to take the exam.
Time flies swiftly.
By the way, scholar, are you going to summon that Tray Ghost tonight to send it to the Ghost Market?"
The little mouse swiftly changed topics as it spoke.
In an instant, it switched to talking about the Tray Ghost and the Ghost Market.
It turned out that ever since Chen Xu recounted the wonders of the Ghost Market to the two little demons, the little mouse had been captivated by it.
However, it was well aware of its limitations and never clamored to go to the Ghost Market itself.
At most, just hearing the buzz of the Ghost Market and broadening its knowledge was enough.
Chen Xu said, "We are currently on the ship, with many mortals around, so it's better not to summon ghosts.
With the ship's speed, it should dock by dawn, and then I can find a secluded place to open the Ghost Market and send the Daoist Soldier over."
Although the rule of the Ghost Market states it opens on the first and fifteenth of each month, in reality, the market concludes the next day at dawn.
In other words, the Ghost Market spans across the first and second, as well as the fifteenth and sixteenth.
On the early morning of the sixteenth, before sunrise, the Ghost Market can still open.
While chatting casually with the two little demons, Chen Xu's palm gently stroked the table before him.
At the moment, hovering above the table was a set of blueprints glowing with a faint golden light.
This set of blueprints was none other than the complete Dragonbone Waterwheel blueprints Chen Xu had drawn earlier.
When the blueprints were originally drawn, the blue smoke rose like a dragon, its momentum striking the heavens.
The blue smoke dissipated after a short while, yet the original draft of the blueprint underwent a miraculous metamorphosis in the guest room of the tower ship.
Chen Xu repeatedly allocated points, adding thirty points to each of his Tri-Attributes in a short time.
This ultimate point allocation method made the blueprint of the Dragonbone Waterwheel peculiarly transformative.
Now, just by extending a hand and gently touching the edge of the blueprint, Chen Xu could naturally feel an ultimate sharpness.
In a daze, it even made him feel,
