On the way back, Emma kept staring at Bai Yujing, making him feel a bit uncomfortable. "What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?"
Emma shook her head in confusion. "It's nothing, I just noticed that you seem to have changed suddenly. You look more energetic and manly."
Bai Yujing was taken aback; he thought he had only enhanced his physique, and his appearance and body shape hadn't changed at all. Even if there were changes from the subsequent physical enhancement, it hadn't been long enough for them to show, right? He decided to take a good look in the mirror when he got back. Had he really become more handsome?
However, he needed to distract Emma first. With a teasing smile, he said to her, "It seems someone has completely fallen for me."
Emma immediately licked her lips. "Wait until later; I'll make sure that certain boastful narcissist can't stand up straight tomorrow."
Bai Yujing smiled mysteriously. Once they returned to the inn, without saying a word, they headed straight for the room. As young lovers often do at the beginning of their relationship, they were full of passion. Bai Yujing picked up Emma and headed toward the bedroom. After a long, wet kiss, Emma pushed him away.
"I can't; I need to take a shower first." Emma took off her shoes and walked toward the bathroom.
Bai Yujing followed her with a goofy grin. "I want to wash with you; it's faster when two people do it together."
Emma pouted and gave him a questioning look. "Fine, but you better not move around!"
Late at night, Emma lay on the bed, her body feeling as if it had just been pulled out of water, drenched in sweat and breathing unevenly. After a while, she turned to look at Bai Yujing and said in a hoarse voice, "Ian, you didn't take any pills or something, did you? How did you suddenly become so amazing?"
Bai Yujing lay on Emma's back, his long hands rubbing along her back's curves. The sensation was incredible; it felt like he had endless energy and would never tire.
Bai Yujing held Emma's face. "You've seen what's in my suitcase; I didn't bring anything like that. I was just being nice before. But you, Little Fairy, are so cocky; today I'm going to show you my strength."
Emma immediately felt a change below; Bai Yujing had already come several times but showed no signs of fatigue. She refused to back down and clamped her legs around him. "I'm going to drain you dry today!"
Bai Yujing laughed heartily and pressed down on her until early morning when they finally stopped.
The next morning, Bai Yujing got up early and tried to drag Emma out for a morning run. Emma stretched out her long leg from under the white blanket and kicked him in the butt. "You jerk! Get lost!"
With no other choice, Bai Yujing took a jog around the inn's vicinity, running a lap around the highway. Occasionally he saw passing vehicles, though there weren't many at this time. In the distance, mountains surrounded them with power poles stretching far away; the morning air in Sky Island carried a fragrant scent of grass.
Bai Yujing also spotted some cows grazing nearby on a hillside next to the highway. A few were leisurely eating grass while others lay on the ground. As he passed by, one curious calf looked at him.
As Bai Yujing approached them, they showed no fear of humans and didn't all turn to greet him as if they were completely unaware of his presence. The cows here were not afraid of people at all; they had no sense of alertness or aggression.
Bai Yujing curiously patted the little calf's head. This calf was entirely black, except for a patch of white on its forehead. When Bai Yujing touched it, the calf mooed twice and moved its head from side to side, showing no concern at all.
Seeing the calf so gentle, Bai Yujing immediately reached out with the other hand. The calf's fur was very thick and soft, feeling quite pleasant to touch. Bai Yujing even took a few photos with the calf and the herd, but at that moment, the calf suddenly stood up and trotted away, as if it couldn't tolerate Bai Yujing's wandering hands.
When Bai Yujing reached the top of a hillside, he could see scattered small houses below, with white walls and brown roofs. Paths divided the hillside into sections.
After running around for a while and feeling refreshed, Bai Yujing noticed that Emma had not yet gotten up. It seemed she had been quite exhausted from last night. Bai Yujing decided to go to the restaurant to get some food: oatmeal, bread, and butter.
While Emma was washing up, Bai Yujing took out his laptop and connected to the Wi-Fi. He removed the memory card from his camera and inserted it into the computer to start uploading pictures to the cloud. Then he began a new round of posting on Weibo, selecting and editing photos taken yesterday before sharing them. Bai Yujing also recorded the story of how he obtained a diary from an elderly person in their youth.
After comparing and exploring the contents of the diary, he ultimately found the owner's home address and returned the diary to him yesterday. He crafted this story into a soft article accompanied by a photo of himself holding the diary alongside Will Hackman.
Of course, Bai Yujing did not write about the Leprechaun incident; even if he did, others would just think he was crazy. Instead, he presented it as a travel adventure that would pique curiosity without being too fantastical. This also satisfied Bai Yujing's desire to show off and share his experiences.
It must be said that Sky Island's scenery was indeed beautiful. From watching the sunset at the lighthouse on the edge of the world to enjoying the natural beauty throughout the island made it feel like a paradise. Coupled with Bai Yujing's words and stories, he felt this Weibo post was filled with sincerity.
Currently, more than five thousand people were following Bai Yujing, which wasn't particularly impressive given how many travel livestreams, videos, and programs existed nowadays. People wouldn't find it too surprising unless Bai Yujing had good looks; if his photos and articles weren't well done, he might not even have this many followers.
Bai Yujing continued to look through comments on his previous Weibo posts. The numerous responses genuinely made him happy. He didn't shy away from posting photos of himself traveling with Emma since they had already done it; hiding it would seem inappropriate. A real man should take responsibility for his actions. However, he refrained from posting overly intimate selfies; even so, this still drew public criticism.
"I Don't Eat My Words": "Little Bai, Brother Bai, I’m impressed! You really are keeping your true self hidden! High-priced tips for picking up girls!"
"In History, Blowing the Wind": "Wasn't your account taken over by your wife? You ear-twisted man; giving you tips is pointless!"
Netizen Chaotic Times: "More dog food! I thought you were going to stay single until the end! Also, where are you planning to go next? Can I join? I want to find a foreign girlfriend too; my requirements aren't high—just someone like Emma!"
Netizen Golden Light: "Is it better to drive in England or join a tour? What should I pay attention to when driving? Will it be too expensive?"
Bai Yujing replied regarding renting a car in England; this information came from Emma. Domestic driver's licenses can be used in England, but Chinese licenses require an English translation notarized. However, there are usage limits and restrictions. Rental companies can be found online; once confirmed as legitimate companies, one can email them to verify valid licenses.
After finishing up on his computer, Bai Yujing turned around just in time to see Emma in her pajamas having breakfast while holding Bai Yujing's copy of Lemuel Gulliver's Travels that he had left on the table. She looked at him and playfully pushed him away when he tried to hug her again.
"Don't move around; I'm still recovering! By the way, you're not allowed to touch me tonight; you were too wild yesterday," Emma said with a frown.
Bai Yujing immediately made a sad face: "What? No way!"
Emma was completely unfazed by Bai Yujing's sob story. "By the way, can you teach me this Lilliputian Language?"
Bai Yujing certainly wouldn't refuse. "Sure, but I don't have much experience teaching others, so you need to be prepared!"
Emma nodded. "You just need to teach me some basics. I feel like this script is quite similar to Western alphabetic writing, but the grammar is very different. Just teach me the basic letters and grammar."
Bai Yujing was taken aback. "No way, are you a top student too?"
Emma was surprised. "My grades in college are decent, but I wouldn't say I'm the best student as you described. Also, what do you mean by that?"
Bai Yujing immediately changed the subject, clearly feeling guilty. Emma could tell what the issue was but didn't press further; instead, she brought up another topic.
"I just thought about it; it's really hard for Leprechauns to survive in the human world. If we don't want the remaining Leprechauns to go extinct, there's only one way." Emma was an emotional girl, and Bai Yujing knew she wouldn't give up on her concern for the Leprechauns.
Bai Yujing quickly asked, "What is that way?"
Emma immediately raised the notebook of Lemuel Gulliver in her hand and showed the illustration on its back. "It's this! As long as we find what Gulliver left behind, we can figure out how to get to Sky Island. Since Leprechauns can't survive in the human world, we just need to send them back to their world—the legendary Lilliput Kingdom!"
Bai Yujing's mouth dropped open. "Oh my god, you can't be serious! This is a bit of a crazy idea, but it sounds really exciting."
Emma shrugged. "Of course it's serious, and we need to act immediately to find what Lemuel Gulliver left in his notes."
