Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Flying Dragon looked at Fearsome.

"So what do you mean?"

A daunting question.

“Yixian has talked to me about the port area before. Your activity cannot be denied. How about this, I can act as your guarantor and help you set aside a piece of land here. If you feel tired in the future and no longer want to go to sea, you can settle here.”

Old Zhou shrugged slightly, giving his conclusion.

"Hmm, Black Dragon, what do you think?"

Fearless handed over the decision-making power to Black Flying Dragon.

"I think it's great, and I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Since Elder Zhou had spoken, Hei Feilong naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"Okay, then. Yixian, you can take them to the nearby agency to complete the formalities in a bit."

Old Zhou tapped the armrest with his fingers and said to Yi Xian.

"I see."

Yi Xian responded from the side.

"Since you've come from afar, you can explore the area these next few days and rest here tonight."

Old Zhou nodded, then spoke to Black Flying Dragon.

"Thank you so much."

Black Flying Dragon quickly expressed his gratitude.

"The safety of the Sirens rests on your shoulders now. I should be thanking you. Don't be shy here, just relax."

Old Zhou revealed a gentle smile, a stark contrast to his demeanor during their earlier conversation.

"Are you done talking? It's rare for Yixian to bring friends home. I'll cook a welcome dinner for you tonight."

Aunt Deng peeked out from the next room, still as warm and welcoming as ever.

"No, I haven't had Yixian's cooking in so long. Let Yixian be the head chef today."

Old Zhou spoke up in rebuttal.

"Fine, so you're disgusted with me now? You can cook for yourself after Yixian leaves."

Aunt Deng glared at Old Zhou, showing him absolutely no respect.

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong. You're cooking today."

Old Zhou immediately fell silent.

Yi Xian and Ying Ruizhao seemed to be used to this kind of conversation, and just chuckled to themselves.

Black Flying Dragon blinked. Although she was single, it didn't stop her from seeing that the two had a good relationship.

After sitting for a while, Black Flying Dragon got up and left the house.

After all, they were just outsiders, unlike Yixian and the others. It wasn't good for them to keep bothering the old couple. Moreover, this sense of family fullness made Hei Feilong feel inexplicably depressed.

"What's wrong with Sister Long?"

Yuudachi, who was standing next to Kurohiro, noticed that she seemed a little down.

"It's nothing. Did you come here before when you came looking for me?"

Black Flying Dragon raised the corners of his mouth slightly and touched Yuudachi's hair.

"Hmm, it feels like I've been here before, but it also feels like I haven't."

Yuudachi thought for a moment, then realized she had no recollection of it.

"You were asleep when I came here."

"Okay, remember this when you go back. We'll be counting on you next time we come."

Black Flying Dragon smiled and gave a word of advice.

"Oh! Leave it to me!"

Yuudachi rubbed against the black dragon's paw and wagged its tail.

"Thank you for your hard work just now."

Black Flying Dragon glanced at the formidable creature that was constantly pacing around and said.

"You're our port's secret weapon. Can't you be a little more confident in public? It's really unbearable to watch."

Kewei gave a soft snort and walked to the vegetable garden in front of the house.

"Haha, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Black Flying Dragon chuckled twice.

Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary worker with virtually no opportunity to interact with high-ranking officials. It would be fine for her to fight the Sirens, but she really couldn't handle negotiating or arguing with others.

If you don't know something, you just don't know it; even if you time-traveled, you wouldn't learn it without a teacher.

"Living here means we can't go out to sea as often. Would you like to move here?"

Ke Wei crossed his arms over his chest and turned to look at the Black Flying Dragon.

"How could that be? Everyone says it's for retirement. I'm so young, let's talk about it in a few more years."

Black Dragon waved his hand.

"Hmm? I remember you've only been with the port area for a few months."

Kewei sized up the Black Flying Dragon. According to her intelligence, the Black Flying Dragon should have only been born recently. How come it's going to retire in just a few years?

"In short, let's deal with the Siren problem first; it's still early."

Black Flying Dragon coughed lightly; age was indeed a fatal factor for her.

"Humph~"

Ke Wei stared at the black dragon for a while, then turned and walked to the side to look at the scenery in the distance.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Life

With Yi Xian's help, Hei Feilong and his two companions were settled in guest rooms, rested for a while, and then set off for the relevant government agencies.

Commander Zhou's house was located relatively close to the sea, so Black Dragon and his group were walking along the road.

The bay doesn't appear very large from the air, but once you walk inside, you'll find it's quite spacious. After passing through a grove of weeping willows, Hei Feilong and the others arrived at a wooded garden. The main road remained unchanged, but the surrounding scenery had transformed. With a well-planned layout, flowers, plants, mountains, and water blended together, and winding paths extending from the main road connected various areas.

"This place is amazing."

Yuudachi looked around and saw that although there were traces of human intervention everywhere, she did not feel any sense of incongruity; there was a kind of beauty that felt natural.

"Well."

Black Flying Dragon watched the whole way, but couldn't think of any words to describe it.

If this place were open to the public, she felt it would be packed with people every day, and just walking around here would allow her to feel the beauty of nature.

"After experiencing long periods of war, ship girls find it difficult to integrate directly into society. Therefore, the commanders invested in buying this place and designed it in this way. Now, this place has become the final resting place for retired ship girls and commanders."

Yixian looked at the lake in the distance. There was a semi-circular stone archway around the lake, which was covered with green vegetation, forming a green ceiling.

Boats drift on the lake, and ship girls stand on the water's edge. The people on the boats and the ship girls are fishing together.

"Do people here all get around on foot?"

Kewei couldn't help but say something.

"Of course not. There is a dedicated vehicle management office that any commander can call upon if needed. In addition, there are dedicated hospitals and logistics departments to ensure the convenience and safety of residents."

Yi Xian said with a light laugh.

"The preparations are really thorough."

Black Dragon admired it, but also felt a little regretful.

If she wants to live here, she can't go out to sea frequently, and she definitely won't be able to move in until the sirens calm down.

As they walked through the garden, several buildings came into view, one of which was a hospital. There were quite a few people walking around there, making it the busiest spot so far.

Where are we going?

Black Flying Dragon withdrew his gaze. It was getting late. He could enjoy the scenery tomorrow, but he had to get the formalities done today.

"The building to the left of the hospital."

Yi Xian answered.

"Ah."

Black Flying Dragon glanced at it twice, and the group quickened their pace to reach the street.

"Sister Long, look, there's a barbecue restaurant over there."

Yuudachi stepped forward, glanced at the shop, and pointed to a store that was open for business in the distance.

"Let's go back later."

The black dragon also discovered it.

"Phew, I'll rest here for a bit, you guys go in."

Kewei walked at the back of the group, and when they arrived at the street, he found a bench, sat down, and refused to walk any further.

"Moving around more often is good for your health."

Black Flying Dragon shrugged at Formidable.

"Hmph, Yuudachi, come here, let's have some snacks."

Ke Wei glanced at the black dragon, then took out a storage cube and beckoned to Yuudachi.

"Oh! Sister Long, you guys go ahead and get busy. Sister Kewei and I are going to have some snacks."

Upon hearing this, Yuudachi immediately ran away from Black Flying Dragon.

"Eat less, there's dinner later."
