I Began Cultivating Immortality on the Open Sea

Out on the sea,

a small boat drifted along.

A gaunt man with a resolute gaze looked into the distance. Suddenly, hundreds of pirate ships appeared, among them even a number of naval warships, and surrounded his little boat. Just then, many people emerged from the cabins and bowed to the man aboard. "Reporting to the king: the commander of the Fire Division of the Five Elements Army is here to welcome you home!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else chimed in as well.

At that moment, a huge pirate ship slowly drew near. A woman with exquisite features and a graceful figure stood at its bow, exuding an air of authority that kept people at a distance. As the ship approached, all the pirate ships and even the warships made way for it. The people aboard bowed to the woman and shouted, "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

The woman looked at the man in the little boat and said coolly, "You bastard! Why don't you take care of your own country instead of always leaving everything to everyone else? Aren't you afraid I'll run off with another man?"
