"Hmm... Even if you two don't tell me, I'm thinking of taking a break now because it's already reaching my limit. Even if I'm forcing myself more, I can withstand it for longer. But… um… What did Brother call Elder Hai-Tu just now?" as Zheng-Fu was speaking, he suddenly noticed some words Hai-Dong used to call Elder Hai-Tu just now, and he pretended to ask.

"What did I call? I didn't call anyone. As usual, I called him Elder!" Hai-Dong immediately spoke up, embarrassed when Zheng-Fu teased him.

"This kid! Knowing this, I shouldn't have saved you from those monster beasts. I should have let them drag you and swallow you under the water," the elder immediately pretended to be upset upon hearing Hai-Dong speak. But in reality, Elder Hai-Tu was neither angry nor moody at all. On the other hand, he even felt better.

During these ten days of fighting aquatic beasts, the two of them fought and spent their hard time together. This caused Hai-Dong to have a lot of appreciation and respect for the elder. But to have him immediately call the elder 'Grandpa' would be a bit embarrassing.

"Then let me rest first," Zheng-Fu immediately excused himself from the two of them. But before he left, he turned to the three Song brothers and said, "All three of you stay here, help Brother and Elder. If there's anything, call me." After saying that, Zheng-Fu left immediately to find a place to rest and restore his energy.

"Yes, Young Master!"

The three of them hurriedly bowed down, cupped their hands up, and politely responded to Zheng-Fu. They had fully rested as well, so Zheng-Fu ordered them to stay and help Elder Hai-Tu and Hai-Dong.

"It's indeed a blessing for us three brothers to be with Young Master Zheng-Fu," spoke up Song-Xi, the second brother, staring respectfully at Zheng-Fu.

"That's right. We're really lucky. If we continue to stay in the village, we don't know when we'll be able to step into this energy level. And I don't know when we'll be able to enter such a fierce and exciting battle," The eldest brother Song-San had the same idea as Song-Xi. He had no less respect for Zheng-Fu than Song-Xi did, maybe even more than his younger brother.

But the two of them could not be compared to their youngest brother, who had the utmost respect for Zheng-Fu. Song-Lun was the first of them to decide to come with Zheng-Fu. And he was the first to decide to obey this young master. As a result of his surrendering everything that day, he had become the man he was.

He had become a skilled martial artist at a level he had never imagined and had become a full-fledged cultivator who had fought against those high-level monster beasts. Besides, he had also fought alongside the strongest masters, Zheng-Fu and Elder Hai-Tu. And most importantly, in addition to the experience of fighting, he also opened his world by learning about magical spells.

Thump!!!

"Finally, I got some rest. Sigh... I'm crazily tired. Somebody, please bring me a cold towel and dessert," as soon as Zheng-Fu entered the cabin of the ship, he did not hesitate to immediately lie back down, grumbling to relieve fatigue, despite knowing that there would not be any effects.

"I'm back, finally! Huh! Wait and see, white-bearded oldy. I promise to repay you for what you did to me. Wait and see!" Zheng-Fu gritted his teeth, angrily speaking at what he received from the white-bearded elder who refused to listen to any reason and even thought of killing him.

A day had passed...

Zheng-Fu finally got a full night's sleep after not sleeping for several days. His strength had already been restored to ten portions at the time because of the secret dimensional space that allowed him to absorb the energy from the stones without bringing it out. It made Zheng-Fu able to sleep while absorbing it.

He was thus able to sleep while restoring his energy without worrying and wasting time. And this morning, the elder's ship reached a port city in Blueland. But before they could even dock, a loud shout rang out.

"Stop your ship. Tell me who you are and where you came from!?" This shout came from a middle-aged man wearing full armor with a great sword in his hand, standing at the pier.

"We are travelers from the Artsy Water Sect. I want to get ashore in this city." Hai-Dong stood at the fore of the ship and gave a reply.

"You came from the Artsy Water Sect!?"

"Commander, don't be fooled by them. They might be bandits, sir!" suddenly, the voice of a fully armored young man standing beside him interjected.

"That's right, as Chang-Su said. Commander, they might even be pirates in disguise, sir!" a middle-aged man on the other side added, admonishing this middle-aged man.

"Pirates? Good! Let them come up, I haven't had fun in a long time. Let's have some fun," said the commander guarding the city with a big grin of joy. If this ship were really pirates, he would have something fun to do.

"Sure, I'd be happy to let you dock the ship. But you have to pay the docking fee," the city's defending commander replied to Hai-Dong immediately after thinking about it.

"Sure… And how much do we have to pay?" Hai-Dong had no problem with money, so he asked him back.

"Ten million coins."

Huh...?

Ten million coins!?

"Damn it, this amount of money isn't little at all... We just ask to dock the ship, why it's so expensive?" Song-Lun exclaimed in shock upon hearing the price offered by the city's defending commander.

"That's right, this is too expensive!" Second Brother Song-Xi was also dissatisfied.

""Well, it's only ten million coins, It's not too much. At least it wouldn't be a problem," said Hai-Dong, turning to smile at Song-Lun and Song-Xi with a gesture that showed it was alright, he was rich.

Then he turned around to the Commander and shouted back, "Alright, I'm willing to pay, just allow us to anchor the ship." After replying, Hai-Dong prepared to take out the cash card from his dimensional ring…

"Alright, but just now you're too slow to respond. So, I'd like to change it to a hundred million coins if you want to anchor at this port." Commander shouted back, agreeing, but his offer changed.

Huh...?

Hundred million!?

This time, even Hai-Dong frowned as well. He did not think the other party would change the price so quickly just in only a few breaths. It was not even too slow at all, but the other party tried to say that they were slow. This was clearly called intentional bullying.

"What happened?" At that moment, Zheng-Fu came out of his room and saw the two Song brothers' displeased expressions and Hai-Dong's elusive face, so Zheng-Fu then asked curiously.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu…"

"Brother…"

"What happened? Why are your faces like that?" Zheng-Fu came to a stop beside Hai-Dong and asked again.

"It's about those people, Young Master Zheng-Fu. We just want to request a mooring. But they told us to pay ten million coins. When Young Master Hai-Dong accepted, instead, they changed the price to a hundred million coins.

Their chief said that Young Master Hai-Dong was late to reply," Song-Xi was the first to report the incident to Zheng-Fu because he was very dissatisfied with the other party's actions.

Huh...?

"Is there such a thing? But where are we now? Which city are we in?" Zheng-Fu still had a dazed expression as he asked what part of Blueland they were in now.

"This place is probably one of the fishery cities of Blueland. But I'm not sure which city it is. I suppose this city is just a fishing city," Elder Hai-Tu explained to Zheng-Fu. Although the elder himself was not quite sure about the place's specific spot, he had a slight guess.

Zheng-Fu had a thoughtful expression on his face when he heard the elder mention where they were. Zheng-Fu then said with a satisfied smile, "Um… A fishing city? If so, that's fine. If we land in this city, it will only take us three more days to reach In-See City."

"So how are we going to land? Since they told us to pay a hundred million coins?" Song-Lun asked suspiciously.

But before Song-Lun could get an answer, the shouts from the city's defending commander rang out again. "How is it? if you want to dock in this city, pay five hundred million coins." And the price had risen again, from one hundred million to five hundred million now.

"Damn it, is this a robbery? I guess I'll have to arrange a big set for you!" At first, Hai-Dong thought of paying for it, but one hundred million dollars did not make him feel any regrets in exchange for peace. Now, he could not bear it any longer as the other party's offer increased several times.

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu's hand reached out and grabbed Hai-Dong's shoulder, saying, "Brother... don't be mad. Let me handle this on my own." After finishing this, Zheng-Fu walked forward before jumping off the ship. He then used his energy to cover himself, allowing him to walk on water.

As a young man had a happy smile on his face as his commander was getting on the other party's nerves by demanding ten million to one hundred million and up to five hundred million, his gaze landed on a figure walking towards them, and he exclaimed.

"Look at that! Someone's walking in our direction, Commander."

Huh...?

When everyone heard the young man's words, both the soldier and the middle-aged man, including the city defense commander, all turned to look at the person walking in as the young man said before everyone's eyes widened in shock because the person walking on the sea as though he was walking on grass.

"Is he walking on water?"

"Damn, how is it possible for a man to walk on water? Unless...it's a ghost. Sea ghost, even!"

"What kind of crazy ghost comes out in the bright daylight like this? In fact, there might be something under his feet. So, it makes him look like he's walking on water!"

"There is a possibility, but what if there isn't?"

"Then it's a sea ghost!"

The soldiers and villagers behind the commander, the young man, and the middle-aged man chatted with each other about the fact that Zheng Fu walked on water, and how he did it. Some people thought he was a ghost from the sea.

"Huh! Come in, no matter what it is, I will…"

Swooooooosh!!!

Argh!!!
