The ship Xi prepared wasn't very large—just a typical nearshore fishing boat for the Merfolk.
The hull was slender and streamlined, suitable for maneuvering nimbly through complex sea regions.
For Gu Xing, Aliya, Grandpa Turtle, as well as Liu Li, Vera, and Snow Woman, the space was already sufficient.
