Qin Yuhao’s lips curved up slightly as he teased Mo Xixi, "You don’t have to be so scared of me; I won’t do anything to you."
"I’m not scared of you; I’m just really nervous," Mo Xixi replied, face flushed and fingers constantly twisting.
Qin Yuhao let out a hearty laugh, "Do you have paper and pen?"
"Huh?" Mo Xixi didn’t quite catch what Qin Yuhao had said.
"Don’t you want an autograph?" Qin Yuhao asked with a smile.
"Oh!" Mo Xixi hurriedly took off her backpack, found a pen and paper inside, and handed them to Qin Yuhao.
Qin Yuhao took the pen and paper, and with flourishing strokes, he wrote down his name, then handed them back to Mo Xixi, "Done!"
"Thank you!" Mo Xixi happily took back the pen and paper, and her eyes brimmed with excitement upon seeing the signature.
"How did you become friends with Song Yan Ning?" Qin Yuhao was very curious about this. As far as he knew, Song Yan Ning never made friends.
"I got along really well with Song Yan Ning, so we became friends," Mo Xixi said, feeling an instant affinity when she first met Song Yan Ning.
"You’re very lucky," Qin Yuhao said with a shake of his head and a smile. Perhaps it was Mo Xixi’s simplicity that made Song Yan Ning accept her.
Mo Xixi nodded in agreement, "I think so too." She treasured the friendship she had with Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived at the pier by car, where Fang Jingxing and the others were already waiting for them.
"Xiao Ning!" Song Yanli waved excitedly at Song Yan Ning. She had been busy with her cultivation recently and hadn’t seen Xiao Ning in a long time. She really missed her. She had heard from her mother that Xiao Ning had saved her that day, and she earnestly hoped Xiao Ning would return to the Song Family soon so that they could have a family reunion.
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, walking over to Song Yanli and giving her a once-over, "Not bad progress, you’re at Earth-level now." In just a few months, Song Yanli had broken through to Earth-level. It seemed she indeed had talent for cultivation.
Song Yanli replied with an embarrassed smile, "I’m still far behind you." Although she didn’t know Xiao Ning’s level of cultivation, she was certain that Xiao Ning was many times stronger than she was.
"Keep up the effort, and you won’t be weaker than me in the future," Song Yan Ning said, patting Song Yanli on the shoulder. For Song Yanli to achieve Earth-level in just a few short years, she was already stronger than many in the Hidden Sect who were Ancient Martial Cultivators.
"I will work hard!" Song Yanli nodded vigorously. She hoped that the Song Family would become even stronger under her, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Ning.
"Let’s get on the boat, or else we won’t find a spot if we’re late," Fang Jingxing was the first to jump onto the boat.
The others quickly followed suit.
"The place we’re visiting today, Sun Island, has fish that are both plump and delicious. I went there a while back, and it really left me longing to return," Fang Jingxing mentioned, unable to help swallowing at the thought of the taste of the fish.
"Just look at how greedy you are, your drool is about to drip out," Ye Qi teased with a laugh.
Fang Jingxing shot Ye Qi an annoyed look, "Wait until you taste it, then you’ll know how good the fish is." He only knew about that place from a friend’s recommendation.
"Okay, okay! I’ll experience it for myself," Ye Qi laughed.
"Jing Xing, is the way they cook the fish there different from other restaurants? Is that why it’s so delicious?" Qu Lingfeng asked curiously. He had heard Jing Xing mention it many times, and this time, since Yushen and Song Yan Ning were also there, they decided to go to Sun Island for fishing together.
At Sun Island, there’s a rule that if you want to eat fish, you have to catch it yourself; otherwise, if you buy it, there’s no discount on the price.
"I’m not quite sure either, but my friend told me that the feed they use for the fish there is different from what’s used elsewhere, which is why it’s so delicious," Fang Jingxing replied. He was only interested in the eating part. How it was cooked didn’t matter to him, as long as it tasted good.
The boat sped across the lake, and within just half an hour, a small island appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Fang Jingxing pointed towards a small island not far ahead, "That one right there is Sun Island. Don’t be fooled by its size; there are several restaurants on it, and the most famous is the one I ate at. Usually, it’s hard to even get a seat."
"Why do I get the feeling you’re shilling for them?" Qu Lingfeng looked at Fang Jingxing with a teasing glance.
"Get lost, you’re the shill," Fang Jingxing laughed and shot Qu Lingfeng an annoyed glance. He simply wanted to share his favorite things with his best friends.
