The beloved baby has a space

"What can you do there?" Old Mrs. Wang tried to stop her. "Just focus on taking care of the house. I'm an old lady with nothing to do, it's more appropriate for me to go."

Liu disagreed: "Mother, you should take care of your health. Let your daughter-in-law go instead."

Grandma Wang glared at Liu. Usually, Liu was afraid of Grandma Wang looking at her like that, but this time she met Grandma Wang's gaze without backing down.

Before they could even decide who was in charge, the younger generation couldn't sit still any longer and all said they wanted to go find their younger sister/older sister.

Even the young Zhu'er patted her chest and said, "I said I would protect my sister. I'm all grown up now, I can go! I'll take the little lamb with me, the little lamb is very strong."

Over the years, the little lamb hasn't spent much time with Ayu. At first, it was able to happily play around everywhere.

Now that it has a house full of children and grandchildren, it misses Ayu very much and often goes to the Wang family's door to keep watch.

Upon returning to the capital to report on his duties, Wang Chuangui, who had already been appointed as the prefect, said, "Why don't I ask His Majesty for permission to transfer me to that post? That way, if Ayu needs anything, it will be easier to dispatch personnel."

“It’s not that easy. By the time you get all the approvals, it’ll be too late.” Old Mrs. Wang glanced at him. “Stop talking. Just listen to me. I’ll go.”

Liu refused, saying, "Mother, I'll go."

Zhu'er: "I'll go!"

Others: "I'll go, I'll go."

"Let me go."

Old Wang was displeased: "What are you arguing about? Long journeys should be left to the men. It's not like all the men in your family are dead. Why should you go out and search for people, braving the elements?"

He was an expert at finding people and couldn't bear to see his wife suffer like that.

As the others returned home, they all rushed to go after hearing about it.

But then a cheerful voice came from outside the door: "What good thing is it that everyone's scrambling to go?"

Upon closer inspection, one could see a person in armor standing against the light.

Who else could it be but Wang Wulang?

He grinned and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, I'm back!"

Having escaped from Jiangsai and performed a great feat, he was summoned back to Wanning City to be rewarded.

He wanted to show off, but the servant who delivered the message called out at the door for a long time, and no one paid any attention to him.

The Wang family members were also surprised to see Wang Wulang.

This kid looks more and more mature now. He's about the same height as an average adult, and his skin has gotten much darker. Only his eyes are still the same, with a hint of stupidity.

Upon hearing the news of Ayu, Wang Wulang scratched his head: "No way, Ayu is so capable, how could she get into trouble so easily? When I was in trouble before, it was Ayu who saved me."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Grandma Wang's expression was serious: "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

In fact, Wang Wulang wasn't entirely sure whether everything he saw in the darkness was a hallucination he had as he lay dying.

A firm voice in his heart told him that it was Ayu who had saved him.

If it weren't for Ayu, he might be gone long ago.

He even had a ridiculous thought: maybe he was already dead, but it was actually the gates of hell, and Ayu personally pulled him out.

He was skeptical, but Shui Miao was convinced that A Yu was a reincarnation of a deity, which was why she had the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Shui Miao also said that A Yu must have paid a price that they could not imagine, and this kindness could not be offset by ordinary sibling affection.

Wang Wulang took it to heart and felt even more grateful to his beloved younger sister.

Putting aside the possibility that Ayu might have pulled him back from the brink of death, the fact that Ayu gave him so many life-saving items already counts as saving his life a thousand times over.

Wang Wulang told everyone about his experience and Shui Miao's speculations. Old Mrs. Wang pondered and said, "More than half a month has passed since the news of A Yu's accident was released. We can't just stay at home making wild guesses and waiting. We need to send someone to verify the facts."

Wang Wulang immediately said, "I'll go. I'm going to receive my reward tomorrow. I've heard that according to the procedure, I can't return to Jiangsai immediately. Why don't I ask the Emperor for permission to go there and take a look around?"

“I’ll go with you.” Wang Chuanman, who had returned home unnoticed, made the decision immediately. “Mother, Wulang and I will go together. You all stay home and wait for news. But I’ll have to trouble you to ask the Empress Dowager for a favor.”

Grandma Wang: What do you want?

Wang Chuanman said, "If the eagle that delivers messages has any news, it can notify us quickly to avoid errors."

“Alright, I’ll go.” Old Mrs. Wang patted her leg and stood up, calling out, “Everyone, disperse and go do your own things. Wulang, you should also take a bath and burn incense properly, you can’t be careless when you meet the Emperor tomorrow.”

This is when you're asking someone for a favor, so you naturally have to be polite.

The Wang family members busied themselves with preparations, and on the afternoon of the second day, Wang Wulang and Wang Chuanman set off on horseback, carrying a bag of life-saving items and simple supplies left by Ayu.

An eagle appeared overhead from time to time, constantly confirming their location.

The two traveled tirelessly, braving wind and rain, without daring to stop.

Ten days later, they arrived at the coastal city where Ayu had last stayed, and encountered General Hu Rui, who had been stationed there for many days.

Hearing that they had also rushed over upon hearing the news, Hu Rui hurriedly said, "I also rushed over upon hearing the news, but I've already been delayed here for four or five days. Goddess Island usually has one boat every month or half a month, but for some reason, the last boat departed half a month ago, and no new boat has returned yet. The boatmen at the dock refuse to go out to sea no matter what they say, saying that the last two months are the season when sea monsters are frequent, and Goddess Island has a rule that no one is allowed to take a boat to the island."

Wang Wulang didn't care about any of that: "We don't need them to sail the boat, we'll just buy one ourselves."

"They wouldn't allow it either, saying it would offend the goddess."

"These people don't believe in imperial power, so what kind of goddess do they believe in? I think they're just all talk and no action, some evil sect is up to no good." Wang Wulang was so angry that his voice rose considerably.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds in their inn fell silent, and everyone stared at Wang Wulang.

Especially those wearing the Goddess Island emblem, all of them glared at him fiercely.

"Get out! How dare you insult the goddess! We don't welcome you!"

They were ruthlessly driven out.

Wang Wulang looked at Hu Rui and his fourth uncle, scratching his head awkwardly: "I didn't know they were really so badly poisoned."

Wang Chuanman: "Silly boy." He seemed like a clever little guy when he was a child, but he's become more and more silly as he grows up, even sillier than me.

Hu Rui said, "Don't worry, I believe Ayu will be alright. She is a very kind child, and heaven and earth will protect her."

Wang Chuanman didn't believe any of this nonsense. Only when he saw his daughter alive and well could he be completely at ease.

The three tried every means to find a boat, but when they heard that it was going to a mysterious island, everyone turned away and refused to go, no matter how much money they were offered.

Let alone renting, even if they bought it and rowed there themselves, those people wouldn't sell it.

Three days later, some boat shops closed their doors when they saw them.

Hu Rui had sneaked in and had already been delayed for too long, so he dared not stay any longer.

He left a stack of silver notes for the two to use as they pleased, then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

With one less person familiar with the local situation, Wang Wulang and Wang Chuanman's actions became increasingly restricted.

Wang Wulang was so anxious that he was about to build a boat himself when he suddenly heard someone shout, "The boat from the island is back!"

The uncle and nephew exchanged a glance, and Tengdi got up from the ground, not bothering to brush off the dust, and hurried towards the dock.

Upon getting closer, Wang Chuanman immediately recognized the man leading the group: "Red Dog? What are you doing here? Where are Ayu and the others?"

Akainu's face was deathly pale, and he was being supported by the guards beside him, looking as if he was about to die.

As soon as Akainu opened his mouth, he vomited. (End of Chapter)
