"Don't worry, you guys can sleep peacefully at night with Yin'er around. No water beast would dare to attack us,"
"Chirp chirp."
Little Kingfisher perched on the cabin roof, calling out as if on cue. It cast a disdainful glance at Shitou, not bothering to hide its contempt.
"Do we really have to spend the night on the boat?"
Shitou was distinctly aware of Little Kingfisher's disdain. His ears turned red in embarrassment as he gripped the boat rail tightly, trying to suppress his fear.
"Shitou, you sleep tonight, and I'll take the helm."
Wang Meng, two years older and more reliable, took it in stride when he heard from their little Master that they couldn't rest ashore at night. He accepted it without any objections.
"Brother Meng, you should sleep too. Yin'er will take care of the boat. We don't need to stay awake at night."
