A sound of waves rang in my ears, opening my eyes, blue sky and white clouds above me, I was lying in a hard shell, undulating with the sea water. Peanut was still standing on the hard shell, anxiously muttering to himself, "How come grandpa hasn't found it yet?"

　　The ascension was over! As it turned out, just a moment after the beautiful woman approached me, the time for a tea break was just about up! I let out a long breath of relief and tucked the Biju into my arms, with some regrets in my heart, the two times I ascended to the Lustful Heaven, I came and went in a hurry and didn't get to have a good stroll.

　　"What a close call, thankfully the time limit is up." Moon Soul said, "That woman is very scary, she is one of the guardians of the Xuan Turtle Red Eyes Beast, if you are entangled by her, your beads will definitely be snatched off by her, and you might even die in her hands."

　　Thinking of the beautiful woman's flirtatiousness, I couldn't help but gulp and asked, "So that monster is called the Xuan Turtle Red Eyes Beast, and the old man and the child are all its guardians. Why is the shit that the Xuan Turtle Red Eye Beast pulls out beads? What is the use of this blue bead?"

　　Moon Soul said, "The Xuan Tortoise Red Eye Beast only poops once every thousand years, and you were lucky enough to happen upon it. Its shit is also called a bead pellet, and every time, it will be collected by the guards in time, so it is very hard to find. The bead pills are able to cleanse the marrow and hair, completely transforming the physique. Different colours of bead pills will transform the physique differently, for example, the red bead can become as tough as adamantine all over, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to harm it. This turquoise bead of yours is predominantly spiritual and dynamic, it is ...... "Speaking here, Moon Soul hesitated and said, "I'll tell you later."

　　I said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you always stammering your words, like a woman? Later later, every time you say later, when exactly do you wait?"

　　"When you enter the Arya state, maybe I'll tell you the truth about everything." Moon Soul said indifferently, a trace of sadness suddenly swept through his eyes.

　　Day his grandmother! Arya state? Moon Soul is clearly playing tricks on me. The Dragon Butterfly in his previous life was only a transmutation state! Thinking of the Dragon Butterfly, a strange sensation suddenly arose under my ribs, my heart moved, now that I've entered the Received State, it's time for me to give birth to another Dragon Butterfly claw.

　　"What are you talking to yourself all by yourself?" Peanut yelled, looking at me with confusion on his face, and I remembered that he couldn't hear Moon Soul. Looking at Peanut, I suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "I just left the turtle shell, didn't you notice?"

　　Peanut scratched his head, "You've been here the whole time."

　　Moon Soul explained, "No matter how long you stayed in the Lustful Heaven, it was just a short moment to the Red Dust Heaven, so he couldn't notice it at all."

　　It dawned on me, and at that moment, the hard shell peeled off piece by piece, and my arms and legs slowly regained their freedom.

　　"Huh? How did your turtle shell come off?" Peanut exclaimed, and I laughed out loud, stamping my feet on the seawater and leaping up, picking up Peanut and lifting him above my head.

　　Peanut was startled, and seeing that I had no ill intent, he hurriedly called out, "Quickly put me down."

　　"Hey, hey, now you don't want to stand on your old man again!" I let go of my hand, and Peanut Fruit flipped nimbly in the air, pointed his toes, landed on my shoulders with both feet, and shook his head, "Lin Fei, just work a little harder and act as my mount for the time being. Little Master will pay you."

　　I laughed cheekily and operated the Fei Ding Yun Ying in my body, my body suddenly weighed as much as a thousand-pound tripod and sank straight down towards the sea, Peanut Fruit was caught off guard and was taken along with me into the sea, taking a few mouthfuls of seawater before surfacing and coughing loudly.

　　I paddled on all fours, deliberately pretending to be stupid: "Ah ah, I'm really exhausted, actually can't even carry you." In my heart, I secretly laughed, want me to be a mount? You're still a bit young.

　　"Bah Bah Bah!" Peanut spat out the seawater in his mouth, treading water with both feet and shaking his head repeatedly, "What exhaustion? It's obviously your mana that sucks! Forget it, from now on you'll follow me, Little Master will cover you!"

　　I almost sprayed laughter, on the surface I was full of gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, Peanut Fruit you are really chivalrous, in the future whoever bullies me, you have to stand up for me."

　　Peanut Fruit patted his chest, "Don't worry, I, Peanut Fruit, am true to my word. Whoever dares to harm you, I will be the first to spare him! You don't believe me? I'll make an oath now!"

　　Originally, I was just joking, but Peanut was so serious, I couldn't help but be a bit touched. Smiling slightly, I suddenly said, "Someone is coming."

　　"Which someone? How come I can't see it?" Following my gaze, Peanut Fruit stared at me with rounded eyes, his hand resting on his forehead for half a day, his eyes suddenly lit up and yelled, "It's Grandpa and the others!"

　　A few hundred metres ahead, white waves churning, a small boat sailing rapidly, the boat round at both ends, thin in the middle, shaped like a peanut shell, the bow of the boat stood side by side with a bald old man, a bundle of ponytails of a tall young girl, the stern of the boat sits a skinny descendant, is probing and looking at us.

　　"Your eyesight is not bad." Peanut Fruit looked excited and waved straight at the boat, "Grandpa, Grandpa! I'm here!"

　　The boat came closer and Peanut jumped onto it with a whoosh of joy. The bald old man's face was stern, but his eyes were filled with joy: "You naughty boy, you want to secretly go to catch sea beasts, causing everyone to worry about you!"

　　The young girl with the ponytail caught Peanut as soon as she could, ripped off his trousers and gave him a few hard spanks, "Stinky and rotten Peanut, so damn unlikeable! How come the sea beasts didn't eat you brats? That's a relief!"

　　I was dumbfounded, the young girl had a big waist, a stout figure, and a fairly pretty face, but she spat when she spoke, and used more foul language than I did!

　　"In the future, if you don't fucking listen again, old sister, I'll beat you up." The young girl viciously said, then wrapped her arms around him again and carefully inspected, "You're not missing any arms or legs, are you?"

　　The bald old man frowned slightly when he saw me, "Peanut Fruit, who is this?"

　　"Lin Fei, get on the boat!" Peanut Fruit broke away from his sister's embrace and pulled me onto the boat as he introduced me, "This bearded ugly guy is called Lin Fei, he's my new little brother. Lin Fei, this is my grandfather Peanut Skin, this is my sister Peanut Shell, my sister is pretty, right? You're not allowed to hit on her! By the way, the one sitting at the back of the boat is Brother Dahu, he's pretty much the same as you, both have stupid brains and weak magic power."

　　"Peanut, no nonsense!" Peanut Skin cautiously sized me up and arched his hand, "Hello old brother, my grandson is small and unintelligent, please forgive me if I have offended you."

　　I forced myself to hold back a laugh, Peanut Fruit Peanut Shell Peanut Skin, this family is really funny. Peanut shells such a woman how dare I hit her idea ah! Then look at that big tiger brother, white skin, thin body, see me also coyly smiled, revealing shallow dimples on the cheeks. Damn, he can also be called big tiger? Little sheep is more like it.

　　I arched my hand and returned the salute, ''My name is Lin Fei, no sect, just a nobody in the Red Dust Sky. I've been travelling alone on the sea these days, and I coincidentally met with Peanut Fruit last night when it was raining heavily, and I'm deeply honoured to meet all of you. Abbot Peanut, you are red-faced and imposing, at a glance, I know you are a person of high rank."

　　Peanut Shell grinned, "Flattering the horse's arse as soon as we meet, most likely not a good bird."

　　Peanut Skin glared at Peanut Shell: "People who say a few words of truth are bad people? Grandpa thought he was a good guy at a glance." Smiling at me and nodding.

　　I was happy, this old man was quite interesting.

　　After Peanut Fruit told me in detail about my encounter with him, Peanut Skin immediately said gratefully, "So it was Mr Lin who saved my grandson's life, I really don't know how to repay him."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

　　Peanut fruit defiantly yelled: "Without his turtle shell I am also fine, small master of the water is very good which, just lying on his body to rest for a while. Grandpa, you don't want to grow other people's morale and destroy your own."

　　"Shut the fuck up!" Peanut Shell knocked Peanut's head and turned his head to me, "Well, it seems that you are indeed not a bad person and did not do anything to my brother. Of course, if you dare hurt him, I'll beat the shit out of you."

　　I cried and laughed, day his grandma, these two siblings are both jerks.

　　"You shut up too!" Peanut Skin angrily reprimanded Peanut Shell, and then smiled at me, "Old man is not disciplining properly, so I've made Mr Lin laugh. Where are you going, Sir Lin? If it's convenient, why don't we give you a ride."

　　Peanut Fruit interjected, "He's my new little brother, of course he should follow us. He's a lonely ghost with poor magical powers, not to mention he was just dumped by a woman, it's pathetic."

　　Shit, when did I get dumped by a woman? But it's quite lively to be with this family, and besides, their destination is the same as mine, which is the Great Thousand Cities, so it's best for them to lead the way. So I said, "I want to go to the Great Thousand Cities to have some fun, I wonder if old man can take me along?"

　　Peanut Skin readily agreed, and Peanut Shell muttered, "This redhead appears to be penniless, and obviously wants to follow us to cheat us out of food and drink."

　　My old face blushed, I really don't have any money right now, and I do want to have a pick-me-up when I'm with them. The heir of hundreds of secret scrolls can't beg for his life anymore. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a stirring in my heart, I don't know when I have been ashamed to be a beggar.

　　Waves splash, the boat to the far side of the speeding. Along the way, peanut skin asked me in detail where I came from, peanut fruit also asked questions on the side, I simply bragged to the end, described himself as a wandering little demon, and deliberately concealed his magic base.

　　Peanut Shell scoffed, "So you're a small demon with low magic power."

　　I smiled faintly and ignored her. Peanut Shell instead stood up for me, "What's so shameful about having weak magic power? I see that Mr Lin's eyes are clear, and his aura is so beautiful that he will definitely not be a pool animal in the future."

　　I was busy saying thank you, and turned back to look at that big tiger, he has been sitting at the stern of the boat, stuffy head and did not say anything, his feet kept stepping on a big wooden wheel, with the rotation of the big wooden wheel, the two rows of small wooden wheels embedded in the two sides of the boat also rotate rapidly, stirring up a gust of water waves.

　　I curiously walked over, looked carefully for a while, and said in surprise, "Brother Big Tiger, does this peanut boat rely on the rotation of the wooden wheels to travel?"

　　Big Tiger nodded his head and said in embarrassment, "This is a gadget I came up with, so I've made Brother Lin laugh."

　　"Brother Big Tiger is really smart!" I tsked in admiration, seeing such a fresh boat for the first time that could be steered without wooden oars or mana.

　　Peanut Shell flipped her ponytail and yelled disdainfully, "Smart my arse! He can't learn any spells, so he has to make some weird and wacky stuff. Last time, he made a tattered leather bird, saying it could carry people in the sky, but what happened? I fell half to death!"

　　Dahu reddened his face, whispered in defence: "I said I have to wait for a gale to fly, you yourself are in a hurry to try, you are so heavy, how can the leather bird carry you."

　　"How dare you talk back, granny?" Peanut Shell huffed and grabbed Dahu's ear, "I'm heavy? You yourself are skinny as a pussy!"

　　"All stop arguing!" Peanut Shell glared, "When we meet the masters and brothers of the Weapon Armour Imperial Sect in the Great Thousand City, don't make such a scene, lest we be laughed at."

　　Peanut Fruit shouted in a divine manner, "Don't worry, with Little Master here, he won't disgrace Grandpa."

　　Looking at the messy Peanut family, I almost cracked a smile. A school of silver fish swam sharply over the side of the boat, instantly arousing my appetite. After seven days of evolution, my stomach was starving. Peanut Fruit also called out, "Little Master is hungry, he wants to catch a few sea beasts to satiate his appetite!"

　　Peanut Skin snorted coldly and grabbed Peanut's punchy pigtails, "Still want to run around? Give me an honest stay!"

　　Peanut Shell laughed out loud, his left arm slowly changed and transformed into a sharp harpoon, violently stabbing into the seawater, a few wisps of blood bubbled up, a fat flatfish was skewered by the harpoon.

　　"Grandpa, my Weapon Armour Imperial Art is not bad, right?" Peanut Shell proudly waved her harpoon. I laughed in my heart, her speed of changing a harpoon was so slow, and her movement of stabbing the fish was not sharp enough, her attainment was still shallow.

　　Peanut Shell nodded, "Barely, it's better to let grandpa demonstrate to you." His eyes swept around, aiming at a black spot on the sea in the distance, it was a small beaver, chasing after the fish. Peanut Skin let out a low gulp, his left arm swiftly turned into a spear, the body of the spear lengthened rapidly, breaking through the waves along the way and stabbing straight at the beaver.

　　A miserable scream came out, the spear abruptly retracted, the tip of the spear was stuck with the bleeding beaver, was stabbing the throat. Peanut shell, peanut fruit applauded in unison, I secretly nodded my head, peanut skin's weapon armour defense art is not bad, just too rigid, not soft enough to turn. The old woman said that the weapon armour art must be both rigid and soft. Peanut Skin is still a little bit worse than me, probably because the disciples couldn't learn the whole thing after the secret manual of the Weapon Armour Royalty School was lost.

　　Peanut Skin excitedly peeled off the beaver skin, dug out the internal organs, set up an iron pot on the boat, and began to boil the beaver meat. I asked in puzzlement, "In order to resist the heavenly calamity, shouldn't we abstain from eating meat and fish?"

　　Peanut Skin laughed, "Little old brother, with magic power like ours, even if we don't eat meat, we can't resist the heavenly calamity. It would be better to simply live a more enjoyable life and eat whatever we want."

　　Peanut shells bristled, "Just by your bear-like appearance, you still want to rely on vegetarianism to resist the heavenly tribulation? I don't think you can even cope with a minor calamity!"

　　I didn't move, secretly used the Xuan Gui Secret Taoist Technique, and a circle of qi swept out from under my feet, wrapping itself around the peanut shell. "With a thud, the peanut shell tripped over the circle and fell to the ground. This Secret Dao Technique was so unnoticeable that even Peanut Skin didn't notice. Peanut Shell sat up with a puzzled face, "Dahu, you kid steer the boat steadily, what's the point of swaying around?"

　　I secretly snickered, mouth said: "sea windy, sister you do not flash the thin waist."

　　Peanut shells at me dry eyes, chest heaving, a word can not refute up. Not long after, the iron pot rose up hot steam, the fragrance of the nose, beaver meat has been cooked.

　　"Come on, little old brother, don't be polite." Peanut Skin tore open a fat, tender beaver hind leg and handed it to me. Everyone on the boat grabbed large chunks of beaver meat and chewed them openly. Watching them devour their food and listening to the broth beeping in the iron pot, I suddenly felt a warmth in my heart. These people were different from Gan Lemon Zhen and the others, the beautiful women had profound magical powers and were high up in the world, harbouring dreams of finding the Self-Realising Heaven. And Peanut Skin, this family is more like me, living plainly, unobtrusively, with no extravagant hopes for the days, but not losing hope either.

　　On the surface of the sea, there are more and more islands, and from time to time we see flocks of seabirds flying up from the islands, chirping lively. Peanut Skin gathered up a bowl of broth and handed it to me, looking at a narrow strait ahead, "Crossing the Long Snake Straits, there's at most half a day left before we reach the Great Thousand Cities."

　　My spirits lifted and I drained the broth in one gulp. Three big beauties, old me, I'm coming!
