<span style="font-weight:400">“Is this the first time you’ve been on a boat?” Long Lihua smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Keith nodded as his eyes were locked on the sea. It was mesmerizing, calling out to him even.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“And I take it that this is the same for the others as well?” Long Lihua then pointed at Carolyn and Krystal. Their faces were green as they held their stomachs.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Yeah,” Keith looked at the two, “I think you guys should go to your rooms and rest up.” Seasickness. This was a clear sign they were seasick.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We can-yeah, let’s go to our rooms.” Carolyn quickly switched gears as her face slowly bloated up. Being on the boat for the first time would make anyone seasick like a fat fish. The best thing to do was to lie down in this situation.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t think I can move in this situation,” Krystal muttered as her legs shook back and forth. How embarrassing. She couldn’t believe the sea would make her like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith sighed as he picked the two up, “I’m going to bring these two to their room first. I hope you don’t mind.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine. It’s normal to get seasick.” Long Lihua understood what the two were going through. That was when the boy had brought them back to their room.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The two of you rest up here and take a breather.”
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." "Okay."
<span style="font-weight:400">He returned to the deck to see Long Qiqiang training. The dragon was practicing by himself. His punches were strong enough to make a sound. Keith walked over, “Do you need a sparring partner?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure,” Long Qiqiang raised his fist, and like that, the two started to spar with one another. Unlike their fight, this was a bit more mundane as each punch had little to no force. However, it was more so about technique.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’re pretty good at this,” Long Qiqiang grinned as he continued to block the blowsing his way.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith also grinned, “I can tell you’re pretty good yourself.” There was no need to say anything about this since they had fought with one another. The two knew about how the other was a fighting prodigy.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s pick up a pace, shall we?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Agreeing with one another, they had picked up the pace. After some time, the two of them were out of breath, “This is the first time he has pushed me so hard.” Usually, he would be fighting someone, and they would be pummeled.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“That was a good workout for me as well.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You should really spar with my cousin.” Lihua would definitely grow from this if she did.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Long Lihua? Sparred with her for a bit. She’s pretty good.” The dragon girl was quite something, as she could probably beat anyone. Even he would have a tough time.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see, so the priestess has be stronger than before.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sounds to me that you had thought otherwise about her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course, the elders in our n have been telling her that she shouldn’t be going to the academy. Instead, she should be training at home. But the two decided not to and follow their own path.” The girls decided toe here, which was unknown to the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m kinda confused about how your ind is run?” From how he talked, it seemed that the way things operated didn’t have a monarchy position.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh, it would be different from what you used to see,” Long Qiqiang understood the problem, “Our ind is run by two ancestors; they’re the founders of the ind. From this, they created their own ns. However, what watches all the orders is the elders. Right now, there are six elders: three from the Kazemori n and three from the Long n.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh, makes a lot more sense now.” Keith nodded when he heard all of that. But then he froze, “Wait a moment, how old are your ancestors?” If he said something about the ancestors, they should still be alive.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“They should be more than 500 at the least,” The person who said this was the fox who hade to the academy with Long Qiqiang.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, Shinzo.” “Hello,”
<span style="font-weight:400">The fox person smiled, “My name is Shinzo Kazemori. What you said about them is that they’re quite old. More so, it’s actually quite difficult to meet with them.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It is?” “Mmhmm, the elders are the only people allowed to meet with them. Besides them, Lihua and Ayaka can meet with them. They could only do so because they’re direct descendants and the most talented of all of us.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. You guys have some strange rules,” Keithughed. But that caused Long Qiqiang to shrug, “We''ve gotten used to something like that.” It wasn’t strange when everyone followed it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Shinzo added, “But I’m surprised you can deal with seasickness so easily.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Was it not easy for you two?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It was worse for Qiqiang. The boy was gagging and throwing up every 2 minutes,” Shinzoughed, but that only caused Qiqiang to scoff, “Oh please, you were doing the same thing.” He was only in a better state for a few minutes. The two were out ofmission the first time they rode a boat.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then do you guys want this?” Some wrapped orbs were brought before them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?” “What are these?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, these are candies that I made for mypany. It’s good for seasickness as well.” Lemon is a good remedy for motion sickness.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let me try,” Qiqiang tossed the thing in, but then Keith’s eyes raised, “You’re supposed to take off the wrapper.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Ah,”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Reckless.” Shinzoughed as he unwrapped his and popped it into his mouth. Sucking on it, the lemony vor started to flow into his mouth, “This is really soothing.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm, it’s meant to do that.” Keith grinned as he started to take out some other things, “I also have some blue plum vors, orange, apple, and strawberry vors as well.” There were many vors he had made using them. Shinzo and Long Qiqiang were quite interested in it, “Let’s try them.” They were quite interested in the vors now.
