Entering the territorial waters of Huaxu State meant that there would no longer be any threats from the sea, and the Jinfeng quickly and safely arrived at the port of Tianhai City.

It was almost evening, and both the crew and the refugees were very tired after months of sailing.

The people at the Chaoyu Base hurriedly arranged accommodation for everyone and then took a rest.

Li Zongyu and the others were in special circumstances and needed to be taken to Blizzard City and handed over to Zhu Zheng. However, judging from the current situation, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to set off.

Deng Shentong stretched lazily. He returned to Huaxu Kingdom in fear and trepidation, and he looked a little haggard.

He glanced at Zhang Yi and jokingly said, "I can't leave tonight. Why don't you invite me to your house?"

Zhang Yi thought of his shelter and was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, chuckled, and said, "It's my duty. Let's go."

The two drove to Zhang Yi's shelter.

This place still maintains its old appearance, and looks extremely solid and safe.

Deng Shentong had been here many times in his previous life, so he could only pretend to look around and said, "This is your house! It looks quite big from the outside."

Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing. He walked forward and used his authority to open the thick alloy door.

The shelter is magnificent and luxuriously decorated. The temperature is maintained at 25 degrees Celsius all year round, and the environment is quite comfortable.

Deng Shentong put on the new slippers given by Zhang Yi at the entrance and followed him into the living room.

The living room seemed empty, with only two women sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

Hearing the footsteps of the two men, the women turned their heads to look over.

When Zhou Keer saw that the person coming was Zhang Yi, her beautiful face showed a look of surprise and joy, and she exclaimed: "Zhang Yi! You are back?"

As she spoke, she didn't even bother to put on her slippers and hurried to Zhang Yi.

When she saw someone standing behind Zhang Yi, the smile froze on her face instantly.

Zhou Keer asked cautiously: "...Who is this?"

Zhang Yi replied calmly: "My captain."

At this time, another woman, Yang Siya, also came over. Hearing that it was Zhang Yi's captain, the two women looked at Deng Shentong with some complicated emotions.

After all, they believed that the reason why Zhang Yi ignored his companions in the shelter was since he joined the investigation team.

Deng Shentong felt the women's faint hostility towards him, but he didn't take it to heart because he knew why.

He smiled like a gentleman and introduced himself graciously: "Hello, I am Deng Shentong."

Women are always beautiful creatures.

Seeing Deng Shentong's handsome appearance and elegant temperament, the two women's impression of him gradually improved.

Yang Siya had been among the powerful for many years, and she immediately realized that this was Zhang Yi's boss, and as a family member she should treat him well.

She smiled politely and said respectfully, "Mr. Deng, it's getting late. If you want to stay overnight, I'll go clean up the room now."

Before Deng Shentong could even say thank you, Zhang Yi stopped Yang Siya and said, "No need. You should keep my room clean. Just let him stay in the same room with me."

As he said this, as if he felt that the reason was not sufficient, he added: "We will leave early tomorrow morning, so we can just stay here for one night. There is no need to go through so much trouble."

Deng Shentong smiled and raised his hands to indicate, "Alright, then I won't bother this lady."

He didn't have any objection. He was already used to living with Zhang Yi on the Jin Feng, so it wouldn't matter if he just made do with it for one night.

Yang Siya was a little surprised and thought that Zhang Yi seemed to have a good relationship with this captain.

Zhou Ke'er bit her lip, feeling mixed emotions.

She originally thought that with Zhang Yi's return, she could take this opportunity to keep him, but now even her last advantage is of no use.

Due to Zhang Yi's cold attitude in the previous times, Zhou Ke'er did not dare to say anything to stop him even though she was reluctant. She could only watch Zhang Yi leave silently with a resentful look in her eyes.

Deng Shentong followed Zhang Yi back to his room in the shelter.

This master bedroom is very spacious and luxuriously decorated. Because it is always cleaned, it is clean and tidy everywhere.

Deng Shentong looked around casually, his eyes stopped on the soft big bed, and he couldn't help yawning.

He really needed to have a good rest and sleep.

Zhang Yi understood what was going on when he saw his expression. He took out Deng Shentong's luggage from the space and gave it to him, saying, "The bathroom is over there. Feel free to use the hot water."

He reminded, "I'm just outside, call me if you need anything."

Deng Shentong nodded and hurried off to wash up.

Zhang Yi walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. Upon hearing the news of his return, everyone in the shelter sat in the living room, and several pairs of eyes looked at him.

Zhang Yi walked through them as if nothing had happened to get two glasses of water. Seeing that they were all staring at him blankly without saying anything, he said with a smile, "Why are you all looking at me? Go do what you need to do."

Fatty Xu Chunlei couldn't help but shrink his neck when he thought of the fear he felt when he was dominated by Zhang Yi last time.

He didn't dare to say anything this time. He just nodded and said hello briefly, then ran back to his room.

The others looked at each other, and finally Yang Xinxin, who had the most say, spoke up: "Brother, you're finally back."

Zhang Yi paused when he heard this. Without even turning his head, he said calmly, "Stay one night and leave tomorrow."

The others all hung their heads in disappointment, but Yang Xinxin, who was extremely intelligent, keenly noticed something.

She walked to Zhang Yi and asked softly, "Brother, did we do something wrong?"

Zhang Yi raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and his expression became cold.

"No, you did nothing wrong."

Yang Xinxin twisted her skirt nervously with her hands. She hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to continue asking, "Then why...Brother, you seem to have given up on us?"

"give up?"

Zhang Yi suddenly sneered.

Under his slightly longer bangs, his cold eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said without emotion:

"How did you get here? You live in my shelter, with plenty of food and clothing, and you're saying I've given up on you?"

Yang Xinxin was frightened by his attitude and took a step back. She had never been refuted by Zhang Yi in this way before and felt very unfamiliar.

She said unwillingly: "But brother, now you hardly contact us, and you don't discuss things with Xinxin. You were not like this before!"

Zhang Yi opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect that the girl would actually dare to question him.

He raised the corners of his mouth mockingly and sneered: "At least you are still alive and living comfortably, aren't you?"

He shook his head, his eyes as cold as a venomous snake:

"People shouldn't be too greedy, Yang Xinxin."
