My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

If this turns out to be a fake.

Wouldn’t the World Royal Family become a laughing stock for reacting to mere rumors?

No one has the audacity to fool the World Royal Family.

Thus, this news must have come from no ordinary person.

Furthermore, most of the World Royal Family knew who had spread the news, and they trusted this person completely, without a shred of doubt, which prompted them to act immediately.

If such a character truly existed, even Cheng Zhihai himself had yet to come in contact with him, one could imagine that they were beyond his reach.

Perhaps only emperors of great dynasties or those who had reached the Heavenly Human Realm could have access to such an existence.

Cheng Zhihai thought to himself and, noticing Cheng Guang emerge from the gate, pressed down all his thoughts.

"Guanger."

Cheng Guang stepped forward and greeted Cheng Zhihai with a slight bow, then warmly regarded Wu Yuemei, who was not far from Cheng Zhihai.

Wu Yuemei’s gentle and beautiful face showed a hint of worry.

"Guanger, you’ve barely returned and yet you must leave again, without even a few more days spent at home."

Cheng Guang consoled her with a smile, "Mother, this trip to the Great Yan Dynasty is merely a long journey due to the distance. The round trip will take some time, but that’s all there is to it."

Wu Yuemei sighed, smoothed Cheng Guang’s collar, patted his shoulder, and said, "Just be safe, that’s all your father and I ask for."

"Besides, since the match with Yanqiu didn’t work out, the Duke isn’t planning to inquire into your new marriage arrangement and has left me in complete charge. If you have no objections, shall I pick someone out for you?"

Hearing what Wu Yuemei said, Cheng Guang had no objections.

Arranged marriages were the norm in this era.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly.

Wu Yuemei also nodded gently, softly saying, "Then that’s settled. Once you return from the Great Yan Dynasty, you shall marry. It would be laughable for the esteemed Duke of the State’s Heir not to have a principal wife."

"Speaking of which, I was quite satisfied with Yanqiu, if only Qin Beifeng hadn’t stirred up such trouble."

As she said this, Wu Yuemei suddenly glared at Qin Beifeng who was standing aside and daydreaming.

Qin Beifeng groaned inwardly.

Why was he being dragged into this again?

Qin Beifeng already felt guilty towards Qin Yanqiu, and Wu Yuemei kept jabbing him where it hurt, leaving him tongue-tied in suffering.

Cheng Zhihai interrupted Wu Yuemei with a smile, "Alright, Qin has already ended up this way. Fortunately, no major disaster ensued, and that’s good news."

"Guanger,"

Cheng Zhihai’s eyes settled on Cheng Guang, "It’s time for you to set off."

"The Great Yan Dynasty lies many thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It’d be too slow on foot with just an Exotic Beast, better take the Flying Boat instead."

"Flying Boat?" Cheng Guang was briefly stunned upon hearing this from Cheng Zhihai.

He had never heard of a Flying Boat before.

What novel contraption was he speaking of now?

Noticing the confusion on Cheng Guang’s face, Cheng Zhihai knew what he must be thinking, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he began to explain. Continue your adventure with empire

"A Flying Boat is considered a high-grade Different Treasure. However, unlike ordinary Different Treasures, it has some man-made additions."

Cheng Guang still didn’t quite understand.

Cheng Zhihai chuckled, not explaining much further, as he drew a delicately-made small boat from his bosom and tossed it lightly.

The palm-sized boat rapidly expanded with the wind, in the blink of an eye transforming into a massive Flying Boat that could shield the sun.

Cheng Guang glanced up toward the sky.

Below the massive Flying Boat, a distinct hexagon-shaped dark cyanstone was embedded, surrounded by runes that appeared to be drawing energy from it.

Pale blue vapors enveloped the Flying Boat.

Cheng Zhihai pointed at the Flying Boat, chuckling as he explained, "That’s the Floating Stone Treasure, and the whole Flying Boat is constructed around the Floating Stone."

"Floating Stones are extremely rare Different Treasures, so a Flying Boat is a rare sight among the various dynasties. I would not be willing to bring it out, except that you are traveling to the Great Yan Dynasty this time."

Cheng Guang was at a loss for words upon hearing Cheng Zhihai.

This was essentially an alternative form of an airplane from this era, wasn’t it?

Utterly enchanted.

"Climb aboard. This is the compass for controlling the Flying Boat."

Cheng Zhihai handed Cheng Guang an ancient bronze compass, then waved at him.

It was clearly time to shoo him off.

There was no lengthy goodbye.

Cheng Guang bid farewell to Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei with a slight bow. He then proceeded to board the Flying Boat with Qing Luan, Qin Yanqiu, and the entourage from the Bureau of the Lamp.

The Flying Boat could increase or decrease in size at will, suggesting the materials used to construct it were far from ordinary.

Cheng Guang didn’t really understand how the Flying Boat was made, but the craftsmanship of the age still seemed remarkably extraordinary and ingenious.

With Cheng Guang, Qing Luan, Qin Yanqiu, and the dozens from the Bureau of the Lamp on the Flying Boat, not to mention several Exotic Beasts, the spaciousness was such that they didn’t feel the least bit crowded.

Upon reaching the Great Yan Dynasty, it would be best to avoid using such an ostentatious thing as the Flying Boat if possible.

Keeping a low profile was the main theme for this journey to the Great Yan Dynasty. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After boarding the Flying Boat, Cheng Guang glanced over the map, determined the direction of the Great Yan Dynasty, picked up the compass, and steered the Flying Boat toward the Great Yan Dynasty.
