The girl spoke in Lilliputian Language, and Bai Yujing immediately recognized it. But what was up with those angel-like wings?
"Who are you? Why are you appearing near Fairy Island? Hmm! I don't think I've ever seen a race like yours before. You're neither dwarves, nor beastmen, nor gnomes. How did you manage to cross the divine boundary and come here?" The girl circled around Dudu and Bai Yujing's group, looking at them suspiciously as her large wings flapped, making it difficult for Bai Yujing and the others to avoid her.
Shen Fei quietly asked, "What is this winged creature saying?"
Hank, who had learned some Lilliputian Language from Bai Yujing, could understand a few words: "It seems she's asking what kind of monsters we are!"
"What? How dare she call us monsters? Look at her; that's what you call a monster!"
The girl quickly approached Shen Fei with hurried steps: "I feel like you're saying something bad about me. Is there anyone here who can understand what I'm saying?"
Bai Yujing raised his hand and said in Lilliputian Language, "I can understand you. Are you from the Fairy Clan of Fairy Island? We are humans preparing to go to the Island of Life, which is where your Fairy Island is located!"
The girl immediately looked at Bai Yujing: "Island of Life, that's quite an ancient name. It's been many years since fairies have used it. Wait, did you just say you're humans?"
Bai Yujing nodded: "That's right, we are humans. Is there a problem?"
The girl ran over and examined Bai Yujing's face closely, even reaching out to touch and pinch him. Emma immediately became displeased and swatted the girl's hand away: "What are you doing?"
"You're so stingy! You really are humans! This is the first time I've seen a living person!" The girl exclaimed in astonishment.
Bai Yujing quickly countered, "Have you seen dead people here?"
"No, but I once saw a scene of humans in the Crystal Stone, and they looked like a bunch of dirty and smelly monkeys. Indeed, they can't even speak the language of the Divine Kingdom. Where did you wild people crawl out from?" The girl's words left Bai Yujing speechless.
"We're not incapable of speaking; it's just that they can't speak your language. We humans have our own language!"
"That's true. It seems that someone named Lemuel came here hundreds of years ago, and I've heard he had a highly developed civilization. However, I was playing outside at that time and happened to miss him!"
".........." Bai Yujing didn't know how to respond; Lemuel had been dead for hundreds of years. How old is this lady?
"Alright, my name is Ella. I'm a Wind Fairy from Fairy Island, and my specialty is flying. Just now, while I was freely soaring in the Cloud Sea, I collided with your antique ship. But since you are humans, I'll generously let it go!" As Ella spoke, she flapped her wings and lifted off the deck, the wind from her wings making it hard for everyone to open their eyes. In an instant, she shot into the sky, accompanied by a sound like silver bells ringing.
"Just ahead is Fairy Island. I think we'll meet again soon!"
Ella came like the wind and left like the wind, leaving everyone on the deck staring at each other in amazement. However, having already encountered the Fairy Clan meant that Fairy Island was truly just around the corner.
At this moment, no one had any desire to play; their goal was now within reach. Everyone immediately spurred their efforts to accelerate towards their destination, eager to see the legendary and mysterious Island of Life.
The clouds were thick, but with the special compass left by Lemuel Gulliver guiding their position, there was no need to worry about navigating errors.
However, after passing through the clouds and mist, the sight that appeared astonished everyone present because Fairy Island was completely different from what they had imagined. Before them lay a vast expanse of floating islands.
Islands of various sizes were irregularly suspended in mid-air; some were high, some low, and some even floated directly above larger islands. The entire Fairy Island was not a single island but rather a combination of many small islands.
"This is—Island of Life?" Emma was captivated by the beautiful and fantastical scene before her. She saw patches of green islands merging together. Bai Hao noticed that in the lake on the highest island, water flowed down little by little from above, forming waterfalls that cascaded onto lower islands. Numerous waterfalls overlapped to create a stunning sight of sky-high waterfalls.
Bai Yujing could see various exotic beasts living on the small islands, flying Pegasus and gigantic cats with seats on their backs, carrying humanoid fairies as they ran between the islands.
Between the islands, there were all kinds of strange boats that looked very tightly packed but were made of wood, lacking the technological feel of steel ships. Each small island was connected by bridges.
On these small islands, some had dense buildings that looked bustling, resembling a lively city, while others were thick with forests and deserted. The structure connecting the islands seemed to be meticulously arranged, like building blocks that made efficient use of all available space.
"What is that?" Bivis noticed something strange in the distance.
Bai Yujing looked over and saw three children flying in the sky on broomsticks. Everyone's mouths dropped open: "This is completely unscientific!"
However, even more unscientific things followed. Suddenly, a series of thumping sounds were heard, and it felt like the sky darkened. Bai Yujing and the others immediately looked up to find a massive object blocking the sky, completely overshadowing their Boat.
It was a city floating in the sky, constructed entirely of white stone, seemingly held together by some unknown means to form a single entity. The main city was triangular in shape, but two larger triangles surrounded it. The three triangles formed a mysterious shape, and it appeared that towers were built along the edges for an unknown purpose.
Bai Yujing saw the base of this sky city suddenly open up, and a group of broom-riding figures rushed out, surrounding their boat: "Vessels below, stop! You have violated the passage rules of Fairy Island. Please halt immediately and accept punishment!"
"Huh!" Bai Yujing was still trying to understand the situation—was this already illegal?
