"Wow, this is amazing! This is my first time on a Maritime Association ship!"

Kimhant exclaimed excitedly. He could feel the realism of the wind and the spray of the waves on his face, the faint salty smell, and even... a seagull dropping on his left shoulder!

"Sailing like this is much more atmospheric. System ships are only for the weak, kid!"

The captain said cheerfully while Kimhant tried to wipe the seagull droppings off his shoulder.

"By the way, the captain's ship has certainly seen a lot of action!"

Kimhant observed that the Bloodied Angel was covered in battle scars and signs of repeated repairs.

"Of course! I told you, you won't have a peaceful journey, especially when we enter deep waters. There are only huge, fierce monsters there. All the players who rent our ships are level 40 and above and come in large groups,"

the captain said proudly as he steered the ship in the desired direction.

"Then the captain's client must be very skilled to rent a ship alone without any companions,"

Kimhant said, frowning as he looked at Chang Long, who was leisurely enjoying the view at the bow.

"I don't know, but from what I've seen, he's quite capable in a fight. Plus, he has a three-tailed fox as a pet, so he must be extraordinary!"

The captain replied, still remembering the chilling atmosphere when Chang Long let Davy-chan possess her.

Beep, beep, beep.

"Siegfried,"

Chang Long answered her phone cheerfully.

"Hello, Chang Long. Where are you right now?"

Siegfried asked, also in a good mood.

"Hmm? You sound cheerful. Did something good happen? Oh! I'm on a ship right now,"

Chang Long noted that Siegfried's voice sounded unusually bright.

"A ship? What ship? Where are you going!"

Siegfried was momentarily confused when Chang Long said she was on a ship.

"Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm heading to Aseana Island,"

Chang Long replied, sounding thoughtful.

"No, you didn't. Are you on a system ship? I can catch up with you,"

Siegfried asked urgently. He had just resolved his issues about Kitsune, but before they could meet, Chang Long was already heading to another island.

"No, I rented a ship from the Maritime Association because everyone on the system ships carries that picture,"

Chang Long replied, sounding annoyed.

"Huh! Renting a Maritime Association ship is very dangerous."

Siegfried exclaimed loudly upon hearing Chang Long's answer.

"I know... the captain already told me. But it's more challenging this way. You should've come with me. It's too bad you called a bit late; we've already left the port."

"Ah...!"

Siegfried groaned, holding his head in disbelief at how they had missed each other.

"Sieg... are you okay?"

Chang Long asked when she did not hear him respond.

"I understand... I'll talk to you later, Chang Long. I need to get back to the town quickly!"

Siegfried sighed, knowing he had to handle things swiftly to catch up with Chang Long.

"Sure, take care on your journey,"

Chang Long replied, then hung up, feeling a bit puzzled.

Siegfried hurriedly packed up his tent and headed back to the town. He needed to issue instructions to his subordinates and finish his tasks so he could follow Chang Long without worry.

Rip!

Crash!

Bang!

Scream!

Yell!

These sounds echoed from the Pendragon Guild building lately. Ever since Draco brought Firetail in, the little dragon had been eagerly exploring its new home, playing hide and seek with its father, and then causing chaos among the female guild members who tried to play with it.

"Oh no, there's another fire, miss Peach Blossom, Deputy Guild Leaders!"

One guild member shouted. Rafael, Peach Blossom, Draco, Oliang, and Wet Trash Can, who had been chasing Firetail all night, looked up in shock.

"Where? Lead the way!"

Peach Blossom snapped.

"Yes, miss Peach Blossoom,"

the guild member responded, not strong enough to resist the effect of Peach Blossom's Succubus outfit set, and led the way dreamily.

"The guild is in ruins. What are we going to do, Draco?" Rafael asked wearily, sitting in a chair with a small part of one armrest bitten off.

"I can't believe it's this hard to raise it!"

Draco grumbled, looking at the guest lounge that was now a disaster zone with tired face.

After Firetail started walking confidently early in the morning, it began exploring the guild. At first, it was cute, but then it started scratching the carpets, clawing at the sofa, chewing on chairs, and biting at the curtains. When Draco tried to catch it, Firetail thought he was playing tag. Its flaming tail set the curtains and carpets on fire, causing complete chaos in the guild.

"I think I'll have to take it outside. In less than half a day, the guild is in ruins,"

Draco said, looking at Firetail sitting innocently on his lap, its flames causing no harm to him.

"Good idea. I'll pack up,"

Rafael nodded and left.

"What is going on here..."

Siegfried said, entering the guild and looking around in astonishment.

"Hey, Sieg, where were you all night?"

Draco greeted wearily, trying to hold Firetail back from running at Siegfried.

"And what's that?"

Siegfried pointed at the small dragon on Draco's lap.

"Oh, this is my dragon, Firetail. The guild's wreckage is all its doing!"

Draco explained. Wet Trash Can and Oliang entered the guest lounge, looking equally exhausted.

"Hey, Siegfried. Just got back?"

Oliang greeted, dropping onto a sofa with stuffing spilling out.

"Yeah, but I'm about to leave again. Please take care of the guild while I'm gone,"

Siegfried said to his friends.

"Heartbroken and you have to travel to get over it!?"

Wet Trash Can asked, astonished.

"First love, must be pretty tough..."

Rafael could not help but feel sorry for his friend.

"...Anyway, I'll go pack,"

Siegfried ignored his friends' sympathy, cut the conversation short, and walked away. As soon as Firetail slipped from Draco's grasp, it ran towards Siegfried so quickly that even Draco could not stop it.

"Whoa!"

Everyone shouted in unison, thinking Siegfried was about to be bitten by the little dragon. But to their surprise, it snuggled up to him like a child to its father.

"Sieg, how do you manage that? Even I, its owner, can't control it,"

Draco asked, astonished at how obedient Firetail was to Siegfried, following his directions as if it had been perfectly trained.

"I don't know either,"

Siegfried replied, stroking his ring.

After the Bloodied Angel, the ship hired by Chang Long to take them to Aseana Island, had been sailing for a while, the plan to prank Kimhant began. Chang Long had him do all sorts of tasks: feeding Kitsune, massaging Kitsune, and playing with Kitsune, leaving him exhausted. Then, she had him sing lullabies to Kitsune for his nap, which made Chang Long laugh hysterically from afar, while the crew laughed openly at him.

"Sob... cuckoo bird, why... leave your eggs for the crow to hatch... I will fall in love. No! The crow will fall in love... thinking the chicks are her own... Sob~"

Kimhant sang, embarrassed to the point of tears, as Kitsune yawned widely but showed no signs of sleeping, while the crew looked at him and laughed heartily.

"Hehe, a bit too much, don't you think? He looks pitiful,"

the first mate, standing next to Chang Long, remarked.

"Heh heh, he's cute like this. Mmp! hahahaha"

Chang Long replied, trying to stifle her laughter, but soon burst out laughing again, making the first mate chuckle along.

"Captain, we've reached the Siren's territory!"

A lookout crew member shouted from the mast, reporting to the captain at the helm.

"Prepare earplugs and take the passengers below deck!"

The captain ordered, and the crew quickly plugged their ears.

"Alright, Chang Long, I'll need you, your pet, and... your subordinate to go below deck until we pass through the Siren's territory,"

the first mate told Chang Long. She nodded and prepared to head to the lower deck, but suddenly something unexpected happened, her egg floated out to the sea.

"Hey, come back, Egg!"

Chang Long shouted, watching the egg drift away behind a large rock in the sea.

"What? that egg can float!"

The first mate exclaimed in astonishment.

"First mate, take care of these two. Spread wings!"

Chang Long urgently instructed the first mate, then spread her wings and flew after the egg.

"He has wings too! ...But I didn't see Chang Long put them on,"

the first mate watched Chang Long soar into the sky in amazement before hurrying to Kimhant and Kitsune, who were equally stunned.

Chang Long flew behind the rock and felt annoyed at what she saw. Behind the rock was a nest of some kind of beast, but its owner was absent. The nest contained five eggs about the same size as her egg, all white with light blue wave-like patterns.

"Hey, Egg, it's dangerous to come out here. Let's go back. I know you're hungry, but once we reach Aseana Island, I'll get you all the monster eggs you can eat, okay?"

Chang Long tried to negotiate with the egg, but it seemed uninterested. She looked around, worried that the nest owner or the parents of the eggs would return.

Loud noises from the ship made Chang Long look back. What she saw nearly made her faint: a giant beast resembling an electric eel was blocking the ship. The sirens, who were about to sing to enchant the crew, retreated far away. Chang Long was sure that the parents of the eggs would not appear for now.

"No other choice... Here we go!"

Chang Long sighed resignedly. She lifted the nest of beast eggs and flew back to the ship with difficulty.

"Chang Long, where did you go?!"

The first mate ran to her, relieved. He was stunned to see the nest full of eggs in Chang Long's arms. Chang Long did not answer but called Kimhant over instead.

"Take this and take good care of it. If a single egg breaks, I'll throw you into the sea!"

Chang Long ordered sharply, making Kimhant turn pale. He was even more shocked to realize that the fierce person he had been cursing in his mind was the same drowsy-looking Chang Long, the owner of the national treasure picture, Sleeping Beauty.

The captain approached Chang Long and informed her that the beast blocking the ship was a Leopard Eel. Although not a beast king, it was level 70 and enormous. It attacked like a snake, with saw-like sharp teeth and a hard head, but its body was soft and easily wounded.

"What are you going to do about it, captain? It doesn't seem to be attacking us,"

Chang Long asked the captain, who stood nearby, looking worried.

"This is siren territory. We can't stay here long. We don't know when it'll leave, and if we wait until dark, the sirens will definitely attack us. But attacking that thing is risky because its attack power is high, and it's hard to kill because it only shows its head. We never get a chance to attack its body!"

The captain analyzed grimly.

"What if I lure it away so you can sail out of the siren's territory?"

Chang Long suggested.

"How can you do that? It has the upper hand. It's faster and bigger than you. You can't outswim it!"

The captain shook his head at her plan.

"Who said I was going to swim!"

Chang Long smiled mysteriously and turned, showing her folded wings.

"Oh! With those, your plan might work,"

the captain exclaimed, astonished.

"Then get the crew ready. Signal me when you're set,"

Chang Long smiled at the captain, who quickly called the crew for an urgent meeting. The meeting took only five minutes. The crew took their positions, and the captain signaled Chang Long.

Chang Long took off into the sky, instructing Kitsune mentally to look after the egg and Kimhant. When she flew in front of the Leopard Eel, she found it asleep. Unsure what to do, she hesitated, and it suddenly woke up and tried to gobble her up.

"Hey! You wake up and want to eat me right away? Not so easy, you brainless eel!"

Chang Long shouted, narrowly avoiding its massive jaws. She circled back, taunting it.

"If you want to eat me, come and get me!"

Chang Long yelled, flying away with the Leopard Eel swimming closely behind.

Upon seeing that Chang Long and the Leopard Eel had moved away from the ship's path, the captain immediately ordered full speed ahead. Chang Long noticed the ship resuming its journey and decided to lure the Leopard Eel a bit further from the ship's route before returning.

But then, the unexpected happened. Suddenly, a massive beast emerged from the deep sea and swallowed the Leopard Eel in one gulp. Chang Long watched in shock as the creature slowly rose to the surface.

"A level 150 Ocean Dragon Beast God has appeared!"

The system's announcement reinforced what Chang Long thought might be a hallucination. She saw a huge Chinese dragon with shimmering bluish green scales reflecting the sunlight as it soared up from the sea.

"Oh... my!"

Chang Long whispered, eyes wide, heart pounding with a mix of excitement and fear.
