I Have a Penglai Immortal Island

As soon as they boarded the ship, Qiao Jinnian asked why they were using Plan No. 2 and why the disguised fishing boat of Plan No. 1 didn't come.

The person in charge said it had been intercepted by the Japanese Coast Guard. The excuse was that an accident had occurred in that sea area, requiring them to turn back, so they switched to Plan No. 2.

Fortunately, there was the orca; otherwise, even if they had escaped, they wouldn't have been able to float on the sea for so long.

The military doctor on the frigate was amazed that Ding Wei was still conscious and quickly arranged to fix him on a stretcher and have him airlifted to Shanghai, saying that the nearest city might not have the capability to save him.

Zhao Zhao watched as the military doctor hung a blood bag for Ding Wei. Sigh, he's suffering, but it's really unnecessary. He should be fine with the surplus, right?

Qiao Jinnian was also sent away. He had both gunshot and knife wounds. He handed the box to the person in charge of the frigate, and the newly formed couple only had time to say goodbye.

Everything seemed to be happening at lightning speed.

The frigate was responsible for taking her home. Her big son was still in the sea below. Captain Xie, curious about Siren, specifically asked if they needed to slow down, fearing it wouldn't keep up.

It was Zhao Zhao's first time boarding a frigate. She couldn't stop looking around and didn't want to be sent back to rest.

Now she had time to take a closer look at this costly flagship in active service. It made sense why it was expensive; this fast and stable steel behemoth was cutting through the East Sea in the morning sun.

The sun had risen.

The frigate arrived at Jinshi Island around 8 AM. Tourists were already watching the white dolphins. A majestic and imposing steel behemoth docking at the dilapidated pier of Jinshi Island immediately attracted a crowd and photo-takers.

Captain Xie, accompanied by two soldiers, escorted her to the lowered gangway, saluted her smartly, and Zhao Zhao hurriedly bid farewell, not wanting to attract more attention.

Having these pictures spread online would just give the trolls more angles to criticize her! How terrifying!

Who would have thought the mission would be completed in a day, or that she would gain a boyfriend in just one day?

The fairy happily shared with Yaoguang, "Went out once and got a boyfriend! It happened so fast, but I accepted it well."

"You said you only liked his face, right? You won't admit it was love at first sight! Why did you agree so quickly? Some people are really two-faced!"

Zhao Zhao rarely spoke seriously to it, "Okay, I admit, I was stubborn and didn't want to acknowledge it. From the first time he jumped onto our boat's deck, I had a strong premonition that this person might be very important to me. At that time, I thought it was just my infatuation with good looks... but thinking about it later, it didn't seem right. Could it be love at first sight? Ah, you, an artifact spirit, wouldn't understand what love at first sight is, right? Anyway, when he asked me yesterday, I didn't hesitate at all. I'm just a straightforward and unpretentious fairy, can't help it!"

Master Yaoguang rolled its eyes and said truthfully, "You have a significant connection with him. Such a strong connection, the first time meeting in this life with such feelings means either you have a destined relationship with him, or he's a nemesis from a past life. How would I not understand?! Just lucky it's him. If it were an ordinary person, I'd have to go through the trouble of ending it... never mind, that's a moot point."

Yaoguang then thought of something crucial, "I think Qiao Jinnian likes you a lot. He won't fight you for custody of the children in the future, right?"

Zhao Zhao: ...

What a downer.

Recently, she hadn't been practicing, just focusing on recuperating. That's decided.

Back home, Da Linzi and Gun Gun didn't come out to greet her. Hearing sounds from the kitchen, she went to check. As soon as she opened the door, she was hit by the smell of burnt food. Why were they cooking now of all times?

Finally, Brother Gun pulled his gaze away from the pot and rushed at her, howling.

So enthusiastic?

Zhao Zhao squatted down and gave him a good petting, only letting go when she was satisfied.

Da Linzi was frying fish, and from the smell, she knew it was burnt. "Didn't you two have enough breakfast? Or didn't you eat?"

Da Linzi scratched his head, "We did, but both of us only ate vegetables, so Brother Gun got hungry. I was just improving his diet."

Hungry?

"Didn't I say to take him to the inn for breakfast?"

"We did, but my mom treated us differently. The guests had porridge made from king crab legs, but as the owner's brother and dog, we had no status. Our porridge only had some scallions. My mom did it on purpose! So I fried fish for Brother Gun myself. Without her, we wouldn't have had any meat!" Da Linzi said indignantly.

Zhao Zhao leaned in for a closer look. Goodness, eel! With such little oil, no wonder it was burnt. Qin Yunmei was skilled, but Da Linzi was clueless about kitchen work.

"Where did the eel come from?"

"Went fishing early with Da Qi. Can't fish in the open sea, so... caught it in your fishery."

Impressive.

Zhao Zhao took over, switching to a flat-bottomed pan. The eel was quite fatty, catching such high-quality fish near the coast was quite lucky.

"I'll make you some grilled eel. I can't control the heat well, but I know the steps. It'd be a waste to let you ruin it. Go clean that pot, it's so burnt you shouldn't eat it. Getting poisoned would be embarrassing."

Fortunately, Da Linzi had the sense not to fry the eel all at once; only a few pieces were burnt.

Her cooking skills were just average, but fortunately, Brother Gun wasn't picky and enjoyed the meal immensely.

Watching Da Linzi happily scrubbing the pot, looking like the master of the house who had everything under control, Zhao Zhao advised, "Next time I'm not home, if you want to eat something, just go to the fishing inn and buy it. Earning money is for spending. You need to change your mindset. Don't think you can't spend money on food just because you're at home. For instance, today, you could have taken Brother Gun to the fishing inn for some grilled squid. What's the harm in that?"

Da Linzi, always keen on the main point, asked, "What? You're going out again? Where? Can't you take us with you?"

Brother Gun: "Awoo~~" Don't abandon the baby.

It was futile to communicate more with these two.

In the evening, she received a call from her freshly minted boyfriend. He was mainly worried she might feel scared after the fact.

"Don't feel burdened. They weren't ordinary people; they were enemy soldiers who once invaded our country and massacred our people. We were just taking back our belongings. If it weren't for you last night, Ding Wei and I wouldn't have made it back. Thinking about it this way, there's no need to feel burdened."

Zhao Zhao said, "I have a big heart. I had already forgotten about it until you brought it up again!"

Qiao Jinnian: ...

"Your pills are very effective. Ding Wei is now a medical miracle, stable and doing well," Qiao Jinnian's tone conveyed his relief and happiness.

Zhao Zhao asked, "And you? Are you alright?"

Qiao Jinnian replied, "... Not really. I've had a nosebleed since I came out of the operating room."

Zhao Zhao felt guilty. "Really? Then you must be very weak. Come to our island to recuperate, and I'll take care of you."

Without hesitation, he responded, "Alright."

After hanging up, Zhao Zhao reflected on the whole situation, realizing she must have talked too much with Gu Nan, causing her to blurt things out without thinking!

Come on, talking about a man's weakness right off the bat? And this was her boyfriend of just one day...

She buried her head in the pillow, "Yaoguang, I'm so dumb!"

Yaoguang teased her, feigning panic, "What? Who exposed this secret?!"

"He really is coming. Well, he's got time now because he's injured. Normally, there wouldn't be many chances to see him."

Yaoguang was puzzled, "Don't they get weekends off?"

Zhao Zhao replied, "Do you think he's a white-collar worker? Go Google it; soldiers are very busy."

Yaoguang shook his head, "So pitiful, busy job and a lazy wife. By the way, if that's the case, you should win the custody battle, right? Being busy with work is a disadvantage. I've Googled this before."

"Help! Can we leave the topic of custody?!" Collapse·JPG

"This is very important!"

"I! Zhao Zhao! If I get married, I won't get divorced. Only death will separate us! Got it?"

"... Got it."

Qiao Jinnian is really pitiful. I need to treat him better.
