Overseas.
On the large ship.
The spirit beast stood at the bow, feeling the sea breeze.
"What do our friends on the path say?" the small girl asked from the side.
They had lost their way, relying entirely on the spirit beast's friends for directions.
The spirit beast pointed towards the back and said, "Over there."
"We've been running in the wrong direction?" the small girl asked, somewhat astonished.
"No wonder we haven't found anything."
"Woof woof!" Little Wang barked and started to blow air.
Afterward, the large ship turned around.
"Master's friends on the path had already known we were coming overseas and would clear the way for us," the spirit beast hopped onto the small girl's head and said, "The treasure is within our grasp; what we're experiencing now is just the necessary hardship on the way to obtaining it. After experiencing hardships, one can understand what a treasure truly is."
"Let's set sail!" the small girl excitedly declared.
One month later.
