In Yu Jin's opinion, the Jade Pavilion was like a big bomb. It was fine normally, but if it was hit hard, it might turn into a big firework.
At least there's no problem blowing the old Osel back into the sea.
"If it weren't for humans, you don't know how many years you would have spent in prison!"
Thinking of this, Yu Jin said a few more words to Osel.
Chapter 248 The scooped up embers
2023-10-23
"Okay, just stay here. I estimate that you will be released soon."
Ember looked at Osel and said to him.
"Okay, okay." Osel was in a good mood. After being locked up for so long, he finally had a chance to get out.
"But what about that damn test?" Osel imagined his happy future and then reacted.
If I look like this, when the seal is opened there will be nothing there. Will Morax come to the rescue personally?
"Don't worry about that. I have a good plan!" Yu Jin waved at Osel, then used the hound step to escape the seal.
The seabed became quiet. Osel looked at the empty seabed and felt something was wrong.
Did he... forget something?
……
"Gululu!"
Beneath the sea, the embers broke through the water, leaving a striking white mark.
Now he was swimming towards the shallow sea. Why? Of course, he wanted to find the direction.
When looking for Osel before, due to the existence of the seal, Yu Jin knew the direction without looking at anything.
But if he went back, it would be pitch black at the bottom of the sea, and Yu Jin was afraid that he would swim to some other weird place.
As Yu Jin waved his hands continuously, the sea water in front of him gradually changed from pitch black to dark blue, and then from dark blue to bright light blue.
Correspondingly, the sea also became lively. Many fish that Yu Jin had never seen before began to swim in the water, making the sea surface much more lively.
"Splash!" Water splashed out, and Yu Jin's head also stretched out from under the sea.
He looked around. Good, he was still in the Sea of Clouds—because Yu Jin saw the blurry city ahead and the towering peak of Guyun Pavilion behind him.
Then he was covered by the big net.
"Hurry, hurry! Someone fell into the water!"
"The one below, don't move, just keep this position!"
"Today I really opened my eyes. Someone really fell into the water here. I'm afraid he didn't jump from the top of the Solitary Cloud Pavilion."
……
After a busy period, the embers were pulled up by the sailors like a salted fish.
"Long time no see, everyone." Yu Jin took off the big net on his body and greeted the people in front of him lightly.
The moment he was caught in the net, he knew that the ship not far away was the Death Star. This was mainly because the big wheel on the Death Star was so big that it was hard not to recognize it.
"It's you, you're not dead?" A sailor recognized Yu Jin. After all, Yu Jin was very famous when he was on the Death Star.
When he actually jumped into the Dark Sea, his reputation became even greater.
"Why do you think I'm going to die? By the way, don't you know that I've returned from the Dark Sea a long time ago?" After hearing what the sailor said, Yu Jin felt a little confused.
Judging from the tone of the people on the Death Star, it's possible that they haven't come ashore at all since the last time?
"Come back a long time ago? I really don't know. When we are at sea, we are not very well informed of the news on land." The sailor shook his head and said in amazement.
He has returned a long time ago. He is indeed a brave man who dares to challenge the Dark Sea!
"Hahaha, what's the matter? I'll join in the fun!" A hearty and heroic laughter came from behind the crowd, and then Yu Jin saw a familiar figure behind the crowd.
"Big sister, we have fished out the embers!" When the sailors saw Beidou coming, they immediately started to cheer.
"Yu Jin? The guy who went to the Dark Sea?" The female voice became a little suspicious, and then Yu Jin saw the crowd being forcibly separated.
The person who separated it was naturally Captain Beidou of the Death Star.
Yu Jin saw this and couldn't help but be a little shocked. How could a woman like Beidou be so strong?
"Is it really you? It seems that you have a deep connection with our Death Star! Are you interested in running on the sea with me?"
Beidou patted Yu Jin's chest armor heavily, thinking of inviting him. Regardless of Yu Jin's strength, just based on this fate, Beidou had to recruit him!
"Going to the sea? You won't be back for several months?" Yu Jin asked curiously after hearing Bei Dou's words.
The ocean had always been an insignificant existence in Yu Jin's previous experience, so he naturally had some interest in sea roaming.
"Yeah, almost. But we are back now." Beidou nodded. For a fleet like theirs, sailing at sea would take several months.
The loneliness, danger, lack of supplies and all the hardships at sea are only known to them.
Therefore, every time the Death Star docked, Beidou would hold a three-day celebration banquet to allow members of the entire fleet to relax.
"By the way, what's wrong with you? Why are you in Yunlai Sea for no reason?" Beidou asked Yujin, who was all wet.
Could it be that there is some unknown secret under the sea of Yunlai Sea?
"Well...if I say I'm here to exercise, would you believe me?" Yu Jin scratched his head and thought for a while, then said so.
Considering that Osel's matter involves Zhongli, Yu Jin could only come up with such a lame excuse.
Alas, he is a good man, and lying is really embarrassing for him.
Unexpectedly, Beidou looked at the ember for a while, then laughed out loud and said, "Haha, I believe it! With your strength, I thought you would not bother to come to Yunlaihai to train!"
To be honest, Beidou didn't believe Yu Jin's reason. But so what? The Southern Cross Fleet itself had many secrets.
"But since you are so free, and we are going to hold a celebration party, are you interested in joining us?" Beidou patted Yujin's shoulder, wanting to invite him to the fleet's celebration party.
Apart from anything else, the experience in the dark sea beyond the Embers alone is enough to arouse the curiosity of many crew members.
For those who love sea voyages and adventures, the secrets of the sea are an incomparable pastime.
"Celebration party?"
"Yes, our fleet has a rule that after docking, we must have a three-day banquet so that we can relax!"
“Okay! I agree! I’ll cook for you then!” When Yu Jin heard this, he felt that this was a good opportunity for him to show off his skills.
The banquet lasted for three days, so it couldn't all be held in a restaurant, right? Beidou would definitely have to hire someone to cook, and Yu Jin had always been very confident in his cooking skills!
"Huh? You can cook?" Beidou looked at Yujin. He didn't expect that someone who stayed in a tin can all day could cook?
"Of course!" Yu Jin patted his chest armor confidently. Cooking is always a necessary skill for adventurers, especially for a powerful adventurer like Yu Jin!
It’s time for the Southern Cross Fleet to get a taste of the Great Adventurer’s recipe!
"Okay! It seems that this celebration banquet will be different from the previous ones!" Beidou nodded with a smile. She was very happy to taste the new dishes.
The Death Star was neither far nor close to Liyue Harbor. With the propellers pushing, the huge Death Star quickly and steadily docked in Liyue Harbor.
"Haha, Chef Ember, you can start preparing! The kitchen is on the boat! As for the ingredients... you can use any of the strange fish and shrimp in the warehouse!"
"For fruits and vegetables, we will go down and buy them!"
Beidou said to Yujin with a beaming face as she stepped on the deck. Although she liked the feeling of riding the wind and waves, she couldn't hide her joy in her heart after stepping on land after a long absence.
"Aren't you going to sell those things for money? Don't you feel bad about it?" Yu Jin asked as if to confirm when he saw Beidou being so generous.
"Mora, everything else is secondary. We can't just give up something that my brothers and I risked our lives for, and then not have a taste of it, right?"
Beidou waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
After hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly wanted to run away, because he was very aware of his destructive power on food.
Although Yu Jin is very confident about his food, he can't help but feel that others don't understand.
If Yu Jin really let go and cooked, Beidou would probably think he was there to cause trouble.
Just as Yu Jin was frowning and thinking of an excuse to escape, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Chapter 249 Celebration Banquet
2023-10-23
"Beidou... huh? Ember?"
Xiangling and her good friend Guoba jumped and ran to the Death Star, and then she saw a familiar figure.
Yu Jin was no longer worried, because with Xiang Ling here, at least he could make food that ordinary people could understand.
In fact, if you really want to be picky, many of Xiangling’s dishes are not understood by everyone.
"Sister Xiangling, are you here again?"
"Hey, there are a lot of exotic seafood on your ship. I'll come over to explore."
"Sister Xiangling, you have to cook more sea bass this time. I've been envious of your cooking skills for a long time."
"sure!"
"Sister Xiangling, please don't make those weird dishes this time, or I won't buy them!"
"Humph! If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who do!"
As soon as Xiangling boarded the Death Star, the busy crew members put down their work and greeted her one after another.
"Hey, I didn't realize you were so popular?" Yu Jin looked at Xiang Ling walking towards him and greeted her.
"Haha, Xiangling's craftsmanship is recognized by everyone in our fleet." Beidou saw Xiangling and smiled at her.
At first, the accountant wanted to save money and lured the young Xiangling aboard. But Xiangling's cooking skills were no worse than those of the chefs at Xinyuexuan.
Her craftsmanship soon impressed everyone in the Southern Cross Fleet, including Beidou. It must be said that this was also a special fate.
From then on, whenever the Death Star docked, Xiangling would always be the first to run aboard, using the rare fish and shrimps from the open sea to verify the fantastic ideas about ingredients in her mind.
Of course, those are only secondary. The most important thing is that Xiangling’s cooking is indeed delicious, although sometimes she would make some dishes that they could not accept.
