Chapter 520 Going to Fontaine with Yan Fei

Chapter 520 Going to Fontaine with Yan Fei

Xumi, Baida Port.

After a short but necessary rest in Aru Village,

Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and their group appeared at this busy port.

Because they had been eating sand for too long in the desert, and as Jade said, the Nagajun group did not welcome outsiders, the group came to Bayda Port in the north of the Sumeru Rainforest area.

It's just right to take a boat ride, it's comfortable and you don't have to eat sand.

At this time in Baida Port, the sun shines on the sparkling sea, reflecting dazzling light.

Boats of all kinds were moored at the pier, swaying gently with the waves.

Paimon looked around curiously at the many ships in the harbor with her big eyes, and she kept muttering to herself.

"Ying, do you think we can meet Captain Beidou's Death Star here?" After saying that, she looked at Ying beside her with anticipation.

Ying also carefully observed the surrounding ships, but finally shook her head slightly and replied with some disappointment: "I don't think it's possible..."

Seeing that Beidou's Death Star was not found, the two looked at each other and seemed to be in trouble for a moment.

However, at this moment, Paimeng seemed to have suddenly thought of a good idea. His eyes lit up and he turned to look at Shao Yun who had been standing silently beside him.

She had a malicious smile on her face and asked with a smile: "By the way, Shao Yun, do you have anything to do now?"

Shao Yun, who was lost in thought about the next itinerary, was interrupted by Paimeng's sudden words.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, shook his head and responded: "No, what's the matter? What else can I do now?"

When Paimeng heard that Shao Yun had nothing to do, he was immediately disappointed and muttered to himself.

"Well... this is bad." She said, scratching her head.

Looking at Paimeng's inexplicable behavior, Shao Yun couldn't help feeling very confused.

"Paimon, what on earth do you mean? Why is it that I have nothing to do and it's so bad?"

Paimeng took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and explained with a righteous look: "Hey, Shao Yun, have you forgotten? According to our experience in Xumi, every time we encountered trouble, you told us that you had something to deal with."

"After a while, all the troubles will be solved naturally! So if you have nothing to do this time, doesn't that mean no one will come to help us solve the problem?"

After saying that, Paimon put his hands on his hips again and shook his head helplessly.

After hearing this, Shao Yun was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Hearing that Paimon thought he was a wishing bottle, he deliberately joked: "Paimon, I'm not a wishing bottle. You should make a wish to Lilupal."

However, when Paimon heard Shao Yun mention Lilupal, he immediately pouted.

"Lilupar's consciousness has long since returned to Gul City. Besides, Lilupal isn't the kind of magic bottle that anyone can make a wish for!"

"If she were here now and could speak, she would be furious to hear you say that!"

When Shao Yun saw Paimeng’s angry look, he laughed even more happily.

He quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just joking and wanted to lighten the atmosphere."

After livening up the atmosphere, Shao Yun turned his attention to the ships quietly anchored in Baida Port.

He stroked his chin with his hand and muttered to himself.

"Well... why don't we just pick one at random? Even though it's not as good as Beidou's Death Star, we're here to get to Fontaine for vacation right now..."

Ying, who was standing aside, heard this, thought for a moment, and then spoke out her thoughts.

"Maybe, we can even take our own ship."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene at Inazuma immediately emerged in Shao Yun's mind.

At that time, the injured Ying forced herself to close her eyes. As she closed and opened them again, she suddenly transformed into a boat.

"Oh, you mean your boat? But... isn't it a little small?"

Shao Yun frowned and continued, "If we encounter any storms along the way, don't let it capsize."

Just when Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng were discussing which ship to take to Fontainebleau, a completely unexpected figure quietly appeared.

Yan Fei was seen walking towards her from a distance, and she immediately spotted Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng who were talking on the dock.

At first, Yan Fei was not sure whether she had made a mistake, after all, such an encounter was too coincidental.

But when she got closer and identified them carefully, she was finally sure that the people in front of her were Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.

So Yan Fei waved her arms vigorously and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Am I seeing things? I didn't expect to meet you guys here!"

Seeing Yan Fei suddenly appear, Paimeng shouted in surprise: "Yan Fei! I didn't expect to meet you in Xumi!"

Yan Fei responded happily: "Yes, I never thought that I would be able to meet familiar faces like you in this foreign country. It seems that I am really lucky!"

After hearing this, Paimeng nodded hurriedly, and then asked curiously: "Yan Fei, do you have something to do in Xumi?"

When Yan Fei heard Paimon start to ask about the purpose of her coming to Xumi, she seemed a little embarrassed.

She scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Well... Actually, I was originally planning to go to Fontaine..."

Upon hearing this, Paimeng was immediately very curious. Since Yan Fei's original destination was Fontaine, why did she appear in Baida Port in Xumi at this moment?

"Then why did you come to Baida Port in Xumi, Yanfei? Did you choose to come here by land, crossing the Rock Abyss like us?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei quickly shook her head to deny it. After all, she didn't have the time or energy to waste.

"That's not the case. Actually, it seems that there is some construction going on at Roudeng Port recently, so the port is temporarily closed. I have no choice but to take a boat to Baida Port in Xumi. Then I will go to Hailu Port to enter Fontaine."

"My ship had already arrived at Roudeng Port, but I suddenly heard the news. Now I need to change ports again, which took a lot of time. I also need to re-plan my travel expenses..."

When Paimeng heard that Yan Fei actually needed to carefully plan how to spend her travel expenses, he immediately asked curiously, "Yan Fei is on a business trip to Fontaine this time. Doesn't the General Affairs Department reimburse her travel expenses? This is a bit unreasonable!"

Yan Fei hurriedly shook her head and patiently explained to Paimeng: "Hey, it's not what you think. I'm not on a business trip this time."

"I was asked by someone else to handle some personal matters, so the travel expenses for this trip will naturally be borne by me."

Hearing that it was a private matter, Paimeng nodded considerately, understanding and respecting his friend's privacy. He stopped asking questions and turned to care about another matter.

"Oh, so that's how it is. So, has Yan Fei found the boat to Fontainebleau Port?"

Yan Fei sighed helplessly and replied with a sad face: "Oh, don't mention it. We haven't found it yet. Hailu Port is too far away from Baida Port. Those small boats can't travel such a long distance."

"And it's impossible for a large ship to set out just to transport me. It's really a headache!"

At this moment, Yan Fei was facing the same dilemma as Shao Yun and his group. Seeing that everyone seemed to be trapped in Baida Port and unable to move forward, at the critical moment, Shao Yun stood up and spoke.

He waved his hand and said generously: "Since the situation is so difficult, I might as well charter a boat, and then we can sail to Fontaine together. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

However, when Shao Yun said this, Yan Fei's eyes widened immediately, her face full of distress, and she waved her hand to dissuade him, "How much Mora will that cost? This is too expensive!"

"It's better not to. It's not easy for you to save up the travel expenses by taking on commissions every day."

It is actually normal for Yan Fei to think so. The last time she met Shao Yun was in the Layered Rock Abyss.

Thinking back to that encounter, Shao Yun was employed by Ye Lan at the time and seemed to be just an adventurer with some abilities.

At that time, Ying and Paimon were busy running around on various commissions in Liyue and were very busy every day.

In Yan Fei's eyes, all this naturally gave her an illusion.

Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng don't seem to be rich people, but adventurers with good skills. (High-level workers)

Shao Yun shrugged indifferently and responded lightly: "If I don't spend the money, how can I have children if I keep it in my hands? Just spend it when you should."

However, Yan Fei still advised earnestly.

"Mr. Shao Yun, have you really thought it through? What if in the end you can't even find a place to live?"

"I can't just watch you live on the streets, but we have to squeeze into a single room together, which is not very convenient for you..."

Shao Yun still assured her confidently: "Don't worry, I really have plenty of money."

So the two of them went back and forth like this.

Yan Fei tried her best to persuade him: "Don't try to be so arrogant."

"It's not easy for you to take commissions at the Adventurer's Association every day. If you use the commission money you earn to charter a ship, what will you do when you get to Fontaine? You should plan your travel expenses."

Shao Yun was also a little annoyed by Yan Fei's persuasion. He muttered casually: "Oh, it's okay. At worst, I can just go and rob it..."

However, when the word "rob" just popped out of Shao Yun's mouth, Ying and Paimeng on the side instantly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The two of them reacted extremely quickly and covered Shao Yun's mouth with their hands, fearing that if he continued talking, it would cause some terrible consequences.

Then, Ying's expression became very unnatural. She said to Yan Fei with a little embarrassment: "Hey! I almost forgot that I have a small boat. We don't need to waste our precious travel expenses on this!"

After saying this, she patted her head gently, as if blaming herself for forgetting such an important thing.

Paimon nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with Ying's statement.

At this time, Ying turned her gaze to Yan Fei again and invited her warmly: "By the way, Yan Fei, if you don't mind, let's go to Fontaine together! It will save you from wasting time waiting here."

Originally, Yan Fei felt strange about Ying and Paimeng covering Shao Yun's mouth, but when she heard that Ying had a boat and was willing to give her a ride, she immediately said happily.

"Really? Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you guys!"

Then, Yan Fei, who always knew how to reciprocate, quickly said, "How about this, I'll go buy some snacks as a reward, wait for me!"

……

After Yan Fei turned around to buy things, Ying and Paimeng slowly released their hands that had been tightly covering Shao Yun's mouth.

At this moment, Shao Yun stared at the two of them, one big and one small, and couldn't help asking, "What on earth are you two doing? Why are you covering my mouth?"

Ying glanced at Shao Yun with a hint of resentment, and a hint of dissatisfaction was revealed in her tone.

"Shao Yun, how could you be so impulsive just now, and actually said in front of Yan Fei that you robbed a bank? What were you thinking?"

Facing Ying's questioning, Shao Yun still looked confused. He scratched his head and asked, "Why? Yan Fei heard that I robbed her, so she turned against me?"

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Ying was almost speechless.

She shook her head helplessly, crossed her arms over her chest, narrowed her eyes slightly, and explained to Shao Yun solemnly: "Although we are not going to fall out, you really underestimate Yan Fei's determination to uphold the law."

"If you make Yan Fei so angry that she becomes ill... that would be a huge problem!"

"Yan Fei is my good friend, could you please not always put me in a difficult position?"

The implication is that you just don't let Yan Fei know...

Shao Yun obviously did not expect that things would be so serious. When he saw Ying's serious expression, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

So he quickly apologized to Ying and promised, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will shut my mouth and never talk nonsense again. Is that okay now?"

……

Yan Fei walked back happily, holding a big bag of fragrant, sizzling skewers in her hands.

However, when her eyes inadvertently swept over the small boat on the shore, she was stunned for a moment.

"How can such a small boat fit four of us?" Yan Fei widened her eyes and stared at the boat in front of her in disbelief.

Then, she cast her gaze towards the boundless, rough sea. Her heart tightened involuntarily and she swallowed nervously.

In fact, at this moment, Yan Fei really didn't want to rush at all in her heart.

But there was really nothing I could do. I couldn't find any other boats going to Hailu Port right now. Besides, I had already wasted a lot of time. If I continued to delay...

With no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and squeeze into Ying's narrow boat.

As the ship slowly sailed away from the coast and headed towards Fontaine, the situation of everyone on the ship was extremely miserable.

Shao Yun was suffering in the boat. He could neither stand up nor sit down. He could only bend over like a shrimp.

Moreover, the sea was not calm at all. Waves came one after another, causing the boat to toss up and down constantly.

Yan Fei hid pitifully in a corner of the boat, hugging the bag of skewers.

At this moment, she had already lost her appetite and her face was full of a look of despair. How could she still have the mood to eat?
