"It flew right up to me, but it didn't even scratch me!"

"As expected of the Yunmeng family's most powerful team, they're really solid!"

…………

The tourists gasped in surprise, causing almost everyone to look to the starboard side.

Hearing the shouts, Jiang Chen and Lan Jingshu walked to the window with a wide view and witnessed an amazing scene.

"Don't be nervous. These flying islands are almost completely stationary. The captains and their team on this maiden voyage are all elite members, so this is just a normal situation for them and there will be no danger." Lan Jingshu has sailed countless times since she was a child, and she is used to such grand scenes.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen was more curious and wanted to get closer to see it more clearly.

"Wow, that boat-driving skill is really amazing! No wonder it dares to call itself 'unsinkable'." The little white cat perched on Jiang Chen's shoulder, and took the opportunity to leap up and jump twice, actually managing to successfully jump onto a winding, protruding tree.

The graceful little tree was adorned with some kind of flower, its large, bright red blossoms remaining as beautiful as ever despite the downpour. The little white cat hopped back with one, presenting it to its host's outstretched hand.

And so, in Lan Jingshu's eyes, as the airship brushed past the flying island, the delicate little tree in the downpour, covered in flowers, trembled slightly and dropped a flower, which swayed in the wind and landed right in the hand of her beloved.

"My goodness, what a beautiful scene!" Everything was so coincidental and poetic that she covered her mouth with her handkerchief in surprise.

The little white cat scratched its ear with its hind paw and chuckled, "Flowers for a beauty, host, no need to thank me."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly as he held a bright flower the size of a teacup rim in his hand. He stepped forward and tucked the flower, still glistening with raindrops and exuding a faint fragrance, into his fiancée's hair. "Clouds yearn for clothes, flowers for beauty; the spring breeze caresses the railing, the dew is heavy. You are more beautiful than the flower, and this color suits you perfectly."

Lan Jingshu blushed slightly, her ears turning red, and she covered her face with a fan, a joyful smile already spreading across her face.

Ye Qingqing, who was in the bustling hall on the next floor, was also standing in front of the window looking out.

Just then, the airship passed smoothly under the arched mountain formed by the natural formation of the flying island. A strong gust of wind blew something onto the deck, which was dazzlingly golden.

Ji Ningyu, who was huddled under the eaves gazing up at the mountain peaks, was quick-witted and noticed something that looked like gold falling onto the deck. She grabbed a beautifully crafted flag, shielded herself from the rain, and rushed over to pick up a few pieces.

"Gold! There's gold!"

"Gold is falling from the sky!"

"Stop fucking pushing! Get out of my way!"

……

Chaos erupted on the deck. Ye Qingqing looked down towards the source of the shouts and her eyes lit up!

It is my beloved brother whom I think of day and night!

Her heart began to pound. The chance to meet again was fleeting, and if she hesitated any longer, she feared she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Ye Qingqing paused for two seconds before making up her mind. She hurriedly went downstairs, pushing through the crowd, determined to find that unforgettable figure.

"Damn it! It's not gold!" Ji Ningyu exclaimed in dismay as he grabbed it, only to discover that it was just some kind of ripe wild fruit. However, it was shiny from being washed by the rain and even had a golden sheen when the light shone on it.

Holding three wild fruits the size of longans in his hand, he was so annoyed that he almost threw them away, but then he thought that they might be some kind of precious medicinal herbs, so he casually put them in his pocket.

Staff on the airship were already reprimanding the crowd for tearing the exquisite flags. Fearing punishment if discovered, he casually threw them away in the rain and disappeared into the crowd to hide.

"What bad luck! I got my clothes all soaked over a few worthless fruits," Ji Ningyu grumbled as she looked down at her half-wet sleeves and hem.

I only have one decent piece of clothing, and it gets wet in the rainy weather with nowhere to dry it. How can I find a chance to climb up the social ladder and have some fun?

We're still far from the Star Moon Continent. What if we have the chance to meet that fairy-like girl again, but we don't even have a decent set of clothes?

Just as he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly felt someone gently pat his shoulder from behind. Ji Ningyu was afraid that someone had discovered that he had torn down the flag and was coming to cause trouble, so he almost ran away.

However, just as he was about to run away, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and he was stunned. He turned around abruptly and his expression changed from surprise to joy!

"We meet again." Ye Qingqing, dressed in gorgeous attire and adorned with tinkling jade pendants, smiled slightly, captivating Ji Ningyu's soul.

The two gazed at each other with deep affection, their eyes filled with tenderness. At that moment, all the noise and commotion were blocked out by an invisible barrier, and it seemed that only the two lovers, bathed in a hazy glow, remained in the world.

Chapter Twenty-Five Obstructions

The little white cat, who had seen everything, hopped upstairs to remind him, "Host, get ready to start!"

The male and female leads have hooked up again!

We're going to help poor Green Hat Man cause some trouble!

Based on the script's development, Ye Qingqing will use her identity to bring Ji Ningyu to the second-class guest room floor and stage an avant-garde drama in Duan Lang's room under the pretext of discussing "art".

Ye Qingqing, wearing a sapphire and purple jade necklace, reclined seductively on the couch while Ji Ningyu painted her portrait.

Then, as their emotions ran high, the two took a bath together and played in the water, creating a seductive wet scene...

If Lord Duan doesn't find out about this grand drama, I'll be doing a really bad job as the best supporting actor.

"It's getting late, you should rest too. I still have to go out and socialize."

After all, it was the auspicious day of the engagement of the newly appointed top scholar of the Longyuan Dynasty. I had some business dealings with them, so naturally I had to send a congratulatory gift.

Jiang Chen stood up to say goodbye, and Lan Jingshu nodded slightly uneasyly. "Of course, we should give a gift, but Ye Qingqing had a reason for breaking off the engagement. Now that she has found a good match, she probably doesn't want you to be around."

"Why don't you have the servant deliver it as a small token of your appreciation? You should also go back to your room and rest early."

"I know how to treat people and handle things properly. Just close the window so you don't catch a cold draft, and have a good night's sleep!"

"the same as you."

The two said their goodbyes reluctantly. Lan Jingshu watched him leave the room through the beaded curtain before turning back to her bedroom.

"Young Master Luo is going back already?" The little maid Yan'er was waiting outside the door. When she saw him come out, she smiled and said, "It's very lively downstairs."

However, I vaguely saw the newly appointed top scholar's fiancée sneak downstairs without a maidservant by her side; I wonder what she was doing.

"Who cares what she does? You're the only maid left by Jing Shu's side, so be careful at night." Jiang Chen instructed, "I've already moved her to the next room, so if anything happens, just knock on the wall and I'll hear you."

Yan'er nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, this is our family's airship!"

After seeing her enter the room and lock the door, Jiang Chen went back to the adjacent bedroom, which he had just acquired at great expense, to change into clothes for receiving guests. Then, he went downstairs with a servant carrying a congratulatory gift.

After having his servant present the congratulatory gift, he went back to rest, while he found a spot where he could see Duan Lang but was not inconspicuous, and sat quietly to await the good news.

The little white cat accepted its orders and hopped down to continue acting as a monitor.

"Holy crap! That girl is really something. Her hairpin alone could feed us for years!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a figure! Why isn't this young lady in her bedroom at night, instead of out looking for some fun?"

"Hey kid! You've got some serious luck with women lately?"

……

The noisy crowd quickly spotted the incongruous couple. Their rude language and malicious glances made Ye Qingqing tremble with fear.

Ji Ningyu quickly shielded her with her body, but dared not utter a word in rebuttal.

"Go upstairs quickly, don't let the dirty smells and vulgar language here bother you."

Hearing his considerate words, Ye Qingqing was immediately moved to tears. She took her lover's wrist and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the two held hands and hurriedly ran towards the stairwell.

"Please show your ticket, sir." The crew member on duty looked at Ji Ningyu with suspicion, as he did not recall seeing this person among the guests staying on the second floor or above.

Ye Qingqing was indignant. "He is my guest. What right do you have to stop him?"

"Miss Ye, you previously stayed in room 12 of the first class, then moved to room 09 of the third class, and will move to room 26 of the second class after the banquet tonight."

I have never seen this young master above the second floor.

You two may not know this, but to prevent our distinguished guests from being unnecessarily affected, each floor of the Cloud Dream City airship has a staff member with a very good memory, just like me.

Our job is to stop guests who are not in the upper-floor rooms to ensure everyone's safety and peace.

Ms. Ye may freely go up and down all floors except for the first-class guest rooms without any hindrance. However, if you wish to go up to the first-class guest room floor, someone will come to stop you.

After the explanation, the other person stood straight at the top of the stairs, staring intently at Ji Ningyu.

Ye Qingqing felt her dignity had been trampled on. How dare such a lowly crew member!

They spoke rudely and even exposed that I had moved out of the first-class room. They were simply lawless!

"What if I insist on taking him up there?" Her voice lowered slightly, and anger flashed in her eyes.

Ji Ningyu was deeply moved. She never expected that the fairy sister would care so much about her, and that she would fight to the end even if she was blocked.

With this thought in mind, the image of the beauty in his heart became even more perfect, and she even seemed to radiate a holy light!

"I'm sorry, but according to the rules of the Cloud Dream City, if you want to bring this young master upstairs, you need to ask the landlord to come and register."

Mrs. Ye, who lives in room 09 of the third class, has the right to take him to the third class room floor.

Lord Duan, who lives in room number 26 of the second-class suite, can then take this young master to the second-class suite floor.

Without the homeowner's permission, no one, including maids and servants, has the right to bring anyone upstairs.

This system is in place to protect the rights of our valued guests; we ask for your understanding.

"You..." Ye Qingqing trembled with anger, a surge of hot blood rushing to her head, completely disregarding the consequences of her fiancé discovering that she had brought a strange man upstairs.

Having been pampered since childhood and never learned to take on any responsibility, Ji Ningyu was only moved and stood behind her, not daring to say a word.

But he wasn't worried. After all, the fairy sister's outfit looked expensive, and she was definitely not an ordinary rich girl.

Ji Ningyu actually found it somewhat romantic to be able to overcome a small problem with her.

"This is so tedious! Is the script team trying to show how good the two are to each other by creating obstacles, or are they trying to advance the romance? It's been ages and they still can't even go upstairs. When am I supposed to help catch the woman in the act?"

The little white kitten yawned and patted its fluffy tail out of boredom.

Fortunately, the male and female protagonists were not blocked for long, and Duan Lang soon learned of what was happening here.

Upon hearing that his fiancée had gotten into a conflict with the airship's security personnel over a strange man, he rushed to the scene.

"Qingqing, who is this?" He looked at the other person with suspicion, his sharp eyes sweeping over his fiancée, trying to find out something.

Ye Qingqing, her face flushed with anger, said righteously, "This man is from my hometown. I happened to run into him and was in a good mood, so I wanted to invite him to my wedding. Who knew I would run into such an unreasonable person!"

"My surname is Ji, and I am a painter." Ji Ningyu hurriedly bowed and replied vaguely, "My family has fallen on hard times and I cannot afford the upper deck tickets. It is really too much trouble for you two to be invited upstairs by the young lady."

Fellow townsman?

Did his family fall on hard times and he become a painter?

Duan Lang looked him over with suspicion. Although his clothes were well-fitting and clean, the style was outdated, indicating that he was short of money and unable to afford new clothes.

The Longyuan Dynasty has always been open-minded and not so conservative. In addition, although the down-on-his-luck painter was good-looking, his family background and wealth were far inferior to his own, so he was no threat at all.
