Chapter 226: Too Harsh?

Perched upon a small platform located at the top of a mast on the ship, Jin Jiuchi's gaze was fixed on the far distance across the sea, though his whole attention was focused on the merman at his side. 

After Gu Luoxin and Noir left, Shen Nianzu suggested they climb up – of course, it was Jin Jiuchi doing the climbing while carrying the jade doll behind his back – so that they could have a full view of the sunrise without obstruction. Jin Jiuchi could not fathom why Shen Nianzu wanted to see the sunrise when he himself shone as brilliantly as the sun, but because it was Shen Nianzu's wish, he sensibly kept mum, not a word of protest escaping his lips.
