The ship sailed across the endless sea surface, heading toward the distant continent that was rising and sinking.
Snow had stopped falling for several days now.
The weather cleared up, and the temperature began to rise.
Some layers of ice forming on the sea surface also started to melt.
The ocean was endlessly blue, with the setting sun hanging on the far horizon.
The twilight stained half of the sky red, with clusters of Fire Refining Cloud reflecting on the firmament.
From afar, it looked as though the entire sky was ablaze.
......
In these past days, Xu Zimei had stayed inside his cabin, rarely going out.
That day he was in seclusion when a series of knocks at the door interrupted him.
He opened the cabin door to find the ship's guard standing outside.
This ship was controlled by a family clan known as the Ning Family.
To guard against the possibility of encountering maritime creatures and to maintain order,
there were many guards from the Ning Family on the ship.
