Chapter 1,175 Hospitality
Looking at the towering cliff below him, Bai Qiyun raised his brows slightly.
But soon, Junyi took him to an open space with a pool.
"This is our unique means of transportation on Haiji Island - flying silver carp."
Junichi pointed to the two fish swaying in the pool and introduced them.
Flying silver carp is three to four meters long, with a wide back and bulging sides on both sides of its body, like a pair of bird wings.
Bai Qiyun seems to have seen similar fish in other places, it seems to be called...ray?
Seemingly seeing Bai Qiyun's confusion, Chunyi explained with a smile.
"This flying silver carp is not a natural species. Its prototype is a kind of ray that lives deep under the sea of Haiji Island. However, because the strong water element scent of Haiji Island attracted them, some of them can be made into fish.
They can stay in mid-air on Haiji Island for a short period of time, so we will breed some of them for use as transportation."
"I see."
Anyway, they are probably similar to the beasts of burden in the Sumeru Realm.
"Then how to ride this thing..."
Before Bai Qiyun could finish asking, Junyi made a gesture to the flying silver carps in the pond.
In an instant, two huge figures jumped out of the water and crawled in front of the two of them.
"Just sit on it. When they move forward, they will use elemental power to form a shield around their body. Even if they dive straight down, it is no different from walking on flat ground. You just need to hold on to the reins."
At Chunyi's prompting, Bai Qiyun noticed that a strong headband was put on both sides of the flying silver carp's head, and a long rein stretched out from both sides of the headband.
Well, it seems that having enough food and clothing comes with a price.
Bai Qiyun suddenly felt that these flying silver carps might have a common language with Jiuki Shinobi.
He jumped up and sat firmly on the back of Flying Silver Carp. His neat skills attracted Junichi's continuous praise.
"Mr. Bai is indeed very skilled."
After that, he quickly rode on the back of the fish, but compared to Bai Qiyun's ease, his figure looked a little more reserved.
Junichi took out his whistle, put it to his mouth and blew lightly.
The next second, a short whistle sounded in their ears.
The lazy flying chub fish began to float as if they had been given an order.
"oh oh!"
Feeling the strangeness under his body, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but exclaimed like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Under the leadership of Junichi, the flying silver carp kept moving forward in the mid-air of Haiji Island.
The houses standing on the cliff gradually shrank into black dots in Bai Qiyun's field of vision.
But at this time, he was not immersed in the novel experience brought by the wonderful journey, but silently asked Yandora in his heart.
'Can you control these chub?'
'What, you want to instigate them?'
'That's not the case, it's just two fish. There is no need to instigate rebellion. I just think that the tourism industry of Haiji Island can also use this as a selling point in the future.'
Some people ride horses, some ride beasts of burden, and some ride trains, but there are definitely no people riding fish.
Flying silver carp seems to be a rare species in Haiji Island. Bai Qiyun did not see anyone else traveling on flying silver carp along the way.
Thinking about it, if it was so easy to see, he would have seen it when he lived on Haiji Island in the past two days.
I guess Junichi also thought this thing was strange, so he took it out to entertain him.
The flying silver carp flew several times in the air and finally stopped on a small island outside the sea.
The island is only a few hundred meters away from the main island of Kaijishima. Although there is water separating it, it is not that far away.
The island is like a tooth protruding from the sea level. It covers a small area and only has about three or four buildings on it.
But compared to the simplicity in the village, the buildings here look much more luxurious.
"Here we are, Mr. Bai."
The two stopped the flying silver carp, and Junichi stroked the fish's head twice before placing them in the sea to rest, not afraid that they would just run away.
"here it is..."
"This is the club where our chamber of commerce entertains distinguished guests, Mr. Bai."
Junyi tucked it in without hiding it, and smiled apologetically at Bai Qiyun in front of him.
"Maybe it's not as luxurious as Liyue Port, but it's still one of the best places on Haiji Island. I hope Mr. Bai won't dislike it."
Even so, Bai Qiyun still caught a hint of imperceptible complacency in the other party's eyes.
This man looks very confident here.
Following the man's footsteps, Bai Qiyun entered the tallest building.
As soon as he entered the door, the splendid decoration inside almost blinded Bai Qiyun.
Before he could react, the welcome sounds of women suddenly rang in his ears.
"welcome!"
When Bai Qiyun took a look, he saw about twenty women standing on both sides wearing entertainment clothes, bending down to salute respectfully.
"Mr. Bai, how do you feel?"
Junyi looked at the women around him with satisfaction.
"It's... not bad."
"Oh? It seems that Liyue Port is indeed prosperous beyond our imagination."
As if he was not satisfied with Bai Qiyun's somewhat perfunctory answer, Junyi's tone softened a little, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
In fact, this is indeed Bai Qiyun's innermost thoughts.
Although he had just met him, he felt the strong aura of the nouveau riche here.
He has seen people in guest houses from all over the world. No matter whether it is Meng Liyue or Inazuma Sumeru, no place has gold bars hanging on the ceiling as brightly as here.
What is this, a general equivalent of decoration?
"Mr. Bai has been waiting for a long time and hasn't eaten yet. Let's go eat first."
Junichi waved his hand, and the women on the side stepped back respectfully, showing a strict discipline.
Seeing this, Bai Qiyun's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.
Following Junyi, he walked into a room of about fifty or sixty square meters. There was a large round table in the room, which should be used for eating.
There are less than five seats on both sides of the table.
The window of the room leads to the seaside, and you can have an unobstructed view of the sea outside Haiji Island from the room.
"Mr. Bai, wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
"Ah, don't worry."
Bai Qiyun wanted to look for more traces left by the Chamber of Commerce in this room, but Chunyi anxiously called the manager to prepare the dishes.
It seems that he doesn't want to waste time eating and waiting.
From the looks of it, there might not be any entertainment activities after the meal.
Recalling the row of women in the hall who were dressed in dresses that reached almost to their thighs, Bai Qiyun felt vaguely that something was wrong.
