After half a month, Ah Er finally returned, having shopped to his heart's content.
The Flying Ship was laden with packages, large and small, along with several cages full of live creatures that were tied on, making the vessel look rather unwieldy.
Only when he was just before Mi Mountain did he finally put away the booklet in his claws.
He had spent the entire journey checking his figures, and after confirming that he hadn't been swindled by any unscrupulous merchants, a sense of accomplishment swelled within him.
The Flying Ship descended slowly. Ah Er leaped off and sauntered up to the gate, then jumped up to grab the door knocker and banged on it. BANG! BANG!
After waiting for quite a while, Bai Mo finally opened the door to let him in.
Bai Mo rubbed his brow, trying to dispel a hint of fatigue.
"Why did you bring back live animals?"
"Ahrk!"
Ah Er nodded, then leaped back onto the Flying Ship and steered it through the gateway.
