Chapter 994 Edward Newgate (18)
——This is not good news.
Yun Ci collapsed on the sofa, unwilling to accept reality.
[Don't worry, host. I have checked it many times. You won't fall into the bed. ]
Xiao Ai patted Yun Ci's shoulder with a gloating look.
Yun Ci was already in a bad mood, and after being teased by Xiao Ai, she glared at Xiao Ai.
“You—eh?”
Yun Ci stared blankly at the pink spot of light that was "blown away" by her glance. The spot of light seemed to be swept away by a strong wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"...?"
What's the situation?
Xiao Ai's physical body was blown away, but the consciousness between the two was still connected.
[Help, host——]
【Why can’t I stop! 】
Yun Ci's heart skipped a beat, and she waved her hand to create a space crack beside her. She reached her right arm directly into it, grabbed Xiao Ai who was still flying in the air, and pulled her back into the room.
Xiao Ai let out a long sigh, wiped the non-existent tears from her face, and sighed.
【It’s really exciting. 】
[This is much more fun than the amusement park. ]
Yun Ci was speechless: "Then I'll send you to experience it again?"
[No thanks.] Xiao Ai waved her hands repeatedly, [Let’s first figure out why this is happening.]
Xiao Ai circled around Yun Ci, scanning her.
What is displayed on the system interface is a red exclamation mark.
[It actually shows 'unscannable'...]
Xiao Ai looked at Yun Ci blankly, and Yun Ci looked at her hands. Both of them realized something.
The seal can no longer seal her.
[Is the time... coming...?]
The pink light fell on Yun Ci's shoulder, moved to her neck, and stuck tightly to her.
Yun Ci didn't say anything, but just gently touched the pink light spot.
Indoors, quiet.
A cloud playfully floated in front of the sun, blocking most of the bright sunshine.
It was late autumn now, and the branches of flowers in the yard, which were almost all withered, swayed a few times, shook off a few dry petals, and spun into the shadows.

"What are you thinking about?"
Yun Ci came back to her senses and looked at Edward Newgate beside her.
"I'm wondering whether I should go find my parents now, or wait until everyone has adjusted themselves on the Elf Island before going to find my parents." Yun Ci said, "Since I've changed my identity, I should formally tell my parents."
Edward Newgate nodded in agreement.
Yun's father and mother are already sixty years old this year. Yun's father is fine, but Yun's mother's health is getting worse every year.
Yun Ci could see that Yun Ma’s life was coming to an end.
Yun Ma died of old age, a life span that Yun Ci could not change.
If Yun Ci had not come, Yun Ma's original fate was to die during childbirth. In the tense atmosphere and the shouting and killing of pirates outside, she was unable to give birth to the child.
One corpse, two lives.
The same situation happened when Yun Ci came, but she was not an ordinary human being. She had special means, so she was able to be born successfully.
Yun Ci took action and changed Yun Ma's original fate, and extended Yun Ma's lifespan within the limits allowed by the rules.
Edward Newgate said, "We can go alone."
"Is there no boat suitable for the two of us to travel on the Fairy Island? We can't go there on the Moby Dick."
Edward Newgate said: "I asked Anna, and she said yes."
Yun Ci was not in the mood to think about anything for the moment.
She looked at Edward Newgate in surprise: "Can a six-meter-tall man like you have a small boat with a roof?"
Edward Newgate nodded, perhaps infected with Yun Ci's bad taste, and he repeated Yun Ci's words.
"It allows a six-meter-tall guy like me to have a small boat with a roof."
a bolt from the blue!
No.
why.
Who has nothing better to do than build such a tall boat?
Who is it for?
What a waste of materials!
Edward Newgate said with a smile: "I heard that it was done by everyone in the Guard. Family members who did not join the Guard also participated."
That was the best they could come up with.
Yun Ci: “…”
it is good.
OK OK.
She noted it down!
but……
“They want to thank you.”
Thank you Edward Newgate for helping them when the Elf Island was not yet an Elf Island.
Thanks to him now, even though he knows that the Elf Island is not short of money, he has not stopped sending treasures here.
Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci tenderly: "We are a family, there is no need to say such polite words."
Yunci is actually quite happy.
She feels very lucky.
The children raised here all have good temperaments.
Yun Ci picked up the chopsticks again: "Okay! Let's eat quickly. After dinner, let's go test drive the boat! This is everyone's gift, we must use it well."
Edward Newgate responded, put a few pieces of food into the porcelain bowl with chopsticks, and started eating faster.
——A ship that is 20 meters long and 10 meters high can’t really be called a boat.
Yun Ci and Edward Newgate stood beside the 'boat' and looked at each other.
Edward Newgate took the lead and stepped forward, then extended his hand to Yun Ci: "Come, go in and take a look."
"Thanks."
The interior space of the boat is integrated; the kitchen and rest area are all in one space without any obstructions.
Because of the high height, most of the cabinets and shelves for storage are placed high up, which reduces a lot of "floor space" and makes walking very comfortable.
Yun Ci looked up and was deeply moved by everyone's hard work.
This ship is really suitable for Edward Newgate.
Edward Newgate also liked it very much and even couldn't put it down.
"How about putting this boat on the Moby Dick and taking it away?" Edward Newgate said, "Or it would be nice to tie it to the Moby Dick and sail on the sea together."
Yun Ci: "...You take it with you, will you sit?"
Edward Newgate said seriously, "I can come to the boat and sleep at night."
This was the first gift his family gave him.
Yun Ci looked at the emotions in Edward Newgate's eyes and didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
"Then take it with you. But we can't keep calling it a boat. Give it a name?"
Edward Newgate said this was something that required careful consideration before deciding.
"Then let's call it Xiaoquan for now, just as a nickname?"
This is the first time to give a boat a nickname.
Edward Newgate was amused. He sat down in the rest area, scooped Yun Ci into his arms with his big hands.
"Okay, your nickname is Xiaochuan, and I'll think about your full name."
Yun Ci sat on Edward Newgate's lap and looked up.
"This boat looks really nice. Did they put the food and fruits there too?"
"That one, I asked Marco and the others to put it up earlier."
Yun Ci slowly typed a question mark.
The boat swayed, and she moved her gaze to the window. Suddenly, she discovered that the Elf Island had turned into a large dot in the window.
Yun Ci: "...Why are we off the shore?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to go see Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun? Let's go now."
"But I haven't packed anything yet."
"I asked Anna to clean it up for you."
"but I……"
Edward Newgate's voice was gentle, and his big palm fell on Yun Ci's head and rubbed it gently.
"Don't worry, I know you're not mentally prepared yet, so - it won't happen..."
