Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 150 The Princess of Wo Kingdom

In the Yinping Sea, on Mount Fujiong.

The stunningly beautiful cherry blossoms under the morning sun are as white as snow, reminding Itsukushima Rin of her childhood days on land, when the foot of Mount Fuji was also filled with blooming cherry blossoms, but now the situation is completely reversed.

Such beautiful scenery will be hard to see again in the future.

Emperor Renzong personally ordered the handover of the garrison rights of Mount Fuji from the Black Society. Once the handover is completed, it means that the awakened members of the Black Society will find it difficult to touch the Great Black Dragon of the Holy Temple level, and will only be able to drift back and forth on the endless ocean like other general-level drifting ships.

This decision is rational.

After all, the Black Society currently only has one A-level Awakened, while Renhuang has four.

From any perspective, the Black Society is no longer suitable to be stationed at Mount Fujie, the lair of the Great Black Dragon, even though they were the first to discover its secrets.

They need to pay the price for their poor decision-making.

Ugh!
Itsukushima Rin sighed.

This outcome was bad for the underworld, but good for him. The general during the garrison period was just a figurehead, but in times of turmoil, his title as "Sea General" would be put to good use. He had no doubt that in a few days, the underworld's chief executive would ask him to come out of retirement again.

He will return to the Game of Thrones.

"General, the lord requests your presence in the conference room for a meeting."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Here it is, here it comes?
Rin Itsukushima tidied his appearance, straightened his hat embroidered with a black sun, leaned on his cane, left his office, and went to the top floor of the Black Society, where the First Governor's conference room was located. He knocked on the door, and a guard politely opened it from the inside.

Itsukushima Rin went inside.

He saw the First Consul sitting in the guest seat of the conference room.

In the main seat sat a graceful and elegant woman, holding a folding fan, as elegant as a character from a light novel.

"Princess?"

Itsukushima Rin was stunned.

……

……

……

Princess, not a title, but a real royal princess.

Before the era of wandering, the Kingdom of Wo was a constitutional monarchy. Of the three daughters of the former emperor, two died in a disaster, and the remaining one, due to irreconcilable differences, sailed away from her homeland alone in the wandering ship "Princess" to a distant land.

To demonstrate her complete break with the ship, she renamed the Princess Cruises to the Spring Tide Cruises.

Why is she back now?
Although Itsukushima Rin was puzzled, he was still a loyal soldier. Following the etiquette of Uzu Province, he greeted the woman and then sat down in his proper place.

"General Itsukushima, the princess's return will lead our yakuza in the right direction."

Itsukushima Rin was taken aback.

How can it be!

This princess should harbor endless hatred towards the underworld.

"She also brought back a real S-class Awakener."

Upon hearing this,

Itsukushima Rin, who had just settled down, jolted in disbelief! Only then did he notice that behind the princess stood a young man, blond-haired and blue-eyed, handsome, and looking to be only in his early twenties.

"General Itsukushima, it's been a long time."

"Let me introduce myself to everyone."

The princess, who was nearly fifty years old, seemed to have completely abandoned the madness and sorrow she had felt when she was alone with Naruno, and her face was beaming with smiles.

“Tatasta, a true S-class Awakener,”

"At the same time, he is also my husband."

She touched her slightly protruding belly again. "This is our child."

Itsukushima Rin was struck dumb.

In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, the royal family of the Wo Kingdom has always adhered to the principle of "one lineage for ten thousand generations" and has always practiced consanguineous marriage to avoid the contamination of their sacred bloodline by foreign races.

Emperor Renzong is still alive, yet the princess has gone so far as to be so unconventional?

And... he even found a twenty-year-old blond guy?
Absolutely, this is completely contrary to propriety!
Disgraceful to gentlemen!

"Tatasta is my beloved and a true genius. At only twenty-two years old, he awakened an S-class skill, Spatial Rune."

"Ranked 68th on the S-class skill ranking list."

"With his help, I believe that within a year, the power of the underworld can reach its peak again."

“And all gifts come with a price. My requirement is…”

The beautiful woman closed her folding fan and gently touched her belly.

……

……

……

Having acquired a new general-class drifting ship and rested for a day, Shi Ming was full of ambition. He was ready to press on and, according to the map, head to a certain location in the Yellow Sand Sea to seize the treasure inside the pyramid!
"Captain, a drifting vessel has been detected by radar 27 nautical miles ahead."

Shi Ming frowned.

Why do I keep encountering drifting boats lately?

Is it because the radar upgrade is too powerful?
"According to the intelligent assessment, it seems to be an old acquaintance, the Ganges..."

Ganges?
Shi Ming had a vague recollection of it.

They had previously made contact near the Twelve Stars, and Shi Ming had even exchanged contact information with Eliza on that ship.

As for Eliza later including him in the "Must-Eat List of the European Seas", Shi Ming was completely baffled.

He had once glanced at that unofficial list out of interest—Eliza described Shi Ming as a spirited warrior. "The taste of being in your early twenties is like a stimulating vodka, or a lingering, unforgettable Chinese liquor, with a powerful aftertaste."

It's utterly absurd!

Sister, we've only met once and haven't even exchanged a few words. It's just that I didn't sell you that Moon Ray, right?

Why are they even making stingrays now?
"near."

Shi Ming gave the instructions.

The Ganges is a merchant ship that sails across the ocean. Although it is just an ordinary gold ship under the command of Shiva, its intelligence system is quite comprehensive. Its understanding of the endless ocean, especially the Yellow Sand Sea, far surpasses that of Shi Ming and his group.

Although this intelligence may not be of great value, it is still quite important.

Perhaps a deal can be made.

Moreover, he heard that the Ganges had recently encountered trouble. While carrying out a mission, they were attacked by an A-level sea monster, resulting in the deaths of many crew members and awakened individuals. They only managed to escape with difficulty thanks to the sturdiness and speed of the golden ship, but they are now in a rather miserable state.

A dozen minutes later, the two ships faced each other from a distance.

The Grand Canal's current speed, if pushed to its limit, is quite fast, but there's no need for it. Shi Ming isn't in a hurry either. The ship sails on the sea at the normal speed of a Silver Ship, just like a real Silver Ship. This not only saves energy but also occasionally yields good hauls.

"That's... a stone?"

The alluring Eliza, through the probe, spotted the large ship sailing on the sea from afar, as well as the very conspicuous Shi Ming.

"They haven't found us yet. Send out a communication signal."

"Captain Singh, there's always a way out. Shiva and Parvati won't abandon us!"

"This stone is quite formidable."
