“This position is where Mist Island is located; it’s there that we found a statue.”
“Why is it called Mist Island?
Does it have any particular meaning?”
Qin Lan went silent for a moment, wondering if this was really the point of focus.
“The island lies in the middle of the sea and is often obscured by fog; it’s only clear enough to discern the features of the island from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., which is why it’s called Mist Island.”
It seemed to make sense, nothing too strange about that.
“We saw those special buildings clearly during that window of visibility.
There seems to be ruins over there, not sure whose they are, but there’s something that looks like a statue in the middle.”
“So you mean, even you weren’t able to make out what it was exactly.”
“I didn’t see it clearly, but don’t you have the Mechanical Flying Eagle?
You could just use that to take a look when the time comes.”
Fang Jie thought for a moment, then said, “In that case, I should go take a look myself.”
His army would arrive in a while, but he could go ahead and check the place out.
Then, instead of using the Mechanical Flying Eagle, Fang Jie sat in the White Bone Wagon and made his way towards the island.
The White Bone War Elephant was simply too big and hence couldn’t be transported by the Mechanical Flying Eagle.
Watching the others leave, Liu Yuanyuan cautiously approached: “Sister Lan Lan, is Big Brother Fang Jie heading to the seaside?”
Qin Lan nodded lightly: “Yes, there’s some business by the sea, and in the future, we’ll have to develop the sea.” To the Earth people, the seaside evoked feelings that the natives just couldn’t compare with.
In the eyes of the Earth people, the fringes of the vast ocean were always the easiest areas to prosper.
“Sister Lan Lan, what do you think of Big Brother Fang Jie?
Is he fierce?”
Qin Lan was amused inside.
Liu Yuanyuan was capable in many areas but was somewhat simple-mindedly naive.
Liu Yuanyuan wasn’t unattractive; her round face was quite cute, and she was dainty and delicate by nature.
However, it was her timid character that sometimes made Qin Lan want to laugh and cry at the same time.
Yet Liu Yuanyuan was quite smart when dealing with tasks, handling everything in an orderly manner.
Qin Lan indeed intended to cultivate this girl into her right-hand assistant.
Having the ability but lacking ambition, also a bit slow on the uptake – was there a better assistant out there?
Others were either too shrewd, making Qin Lan worry that they would clash with her, or too dumb to handle important responsibilities, none as fitting as Liu Yuanyuan.
“Haven’t you seen for yourself?
In fact, Fang Jie is quite gentle usually, as long as he’s not provoked.”
“Really?
I thought, I thought that those who choose Undead as their camp would be a bit, well, special.”
Liu Yuanyuan dare not speak carelessly, worried about drawing unwanted attention.
“Don’t worry.
Just do your jobs well and keep your mouths shut.
Leave the rest to me; at the very least, I promise you’ll have no worries about food and clothes.”
“That’s great, thank you, Sister Lan Lan.
It’s just, Big Brother Fang Jie looks quite young.
He wouldn’t do anything, you know, to you, Sister Lan Lan?” Liu Yuanyuan asked, looking down with her cheeks blushing.
Qin Lan was taken aback, then she chuckled: “Yeah, a young boss, huh?
Do you think he can restrain himself?”
Qin Lan composed her expression, trying hard not to laugh too much.
Fang Jie was clearly inexperienced in these matters and definitely wouldn’t be so unrestraint before taking that step.
“So, what should we do?” Liu Yuanyuan’s face showed signs of panic.
“It’s alright, I’m here, aren’t I?
What is there to worry about?”
“That’s good, Sister Lan Lan.
You’re truly great, sacrificing so much for us.”
This girl was really easy to deceive, wasn’t she?
Who knew what kind of things she had imagined.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him do anything to you, but you also need to do your job well.”
Liu Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, her emotions coming and going swiftly as she happily hopped away.
Meanwhile, Qin Lan was a bit worried; the issue Liu Yuanyuan mentioned was indeed problematic.
She wasn’t concerned about Fang Jie harboring any feelings for her; her concern was that as Fang Jie’s status rose, inevitably many would try to get close to him, seeking some advantage.
Given Fang Jie’s character, he might be unable to resist.
If someone succeeded, it would be a problem if they started to overstep her authority.
Qin Lan was confident in her ability to become an indispensable asset to Fang Jie.
However, the crucial issue of military force was firmly in Fang Jie’s hands.
Should a day come when conflicts escalated, or should Fang Jie’s power grow to a certain extent, then her importance to him might no longer be significant.
After all, she wasn’t the only capable person around.
There was Jia Siwei, for instance, who was almost as capable as her.
“Do I really need to resort to that method?” Qin Lan touched her arm.
The smooth sensation was mesmerizing even to herself.
But as a proud woman, Qin Lan did not wish to use such means to achieve her desired status.
“Never mind, we’ll just see how it goes.
At least I’m already far ahead of others when it comes to his trust,” Qin Lan reassured herself, confident in her ability to fend off some of the competition.
If it ever came to that point, she would deal with it when the time came.
Unaware of the others’ concerns, Fang Jie was already on his way to the seaside.
It was a single path, which Qin Lan had her Skeleton Laborers clear towards Coastal Village.
Large trees along the way had been felled, and the ground had been leveled.
The Skeleton Laborers were very skillful; the road was smooth, almost as good as the roads back on Earth.
As he continued forward, Fang Jie finally saw the boats he had purchased.
A large group of Skeletons were lifting a ship, carrying it along the road ahead.
The scene was reminiscent of ants carrying sugar cubes he had seen as a child.
Only Skeletons could be put to work like this; Qin Lan truly used them to their fullest potential.
The road had been specifically cleared to transport the ships to the seaside.
Qin Lan had informed Fang Jie that they had already acquired over twenty wooden boats.
If they were metal, they couldn’t have been used.
Many rules had changed in the All Heavens Hunting Ground, some basic rules like rowing boats still applied, but burning oil no longer provided powerful propulsion.
