For the next three years, Bai Chuan stayed on the small island in the Kingdom of Gea. He became a part of the family of the elderly couple who had saved his life. While he was taken care of by them, he also took care of them. The grace of living was like giving them a new lease of life.
Other than earning money as an apprentice and taking care of the two elders, Bai Chuan also spent a lot of time on cultivation. Due to his transmigration, his body had been compressed back to the age of six when he first arrived here. It was an era suitable for cultivation. Other than breathing exercises, he would do push-ups and sit-ups to train his wrist and waist strength.
As time slowly passed, the two old men began to approach the end of their lives. On a stormy night, the old man passed away, and the remaining old woman passed away sadly because she was old and had lost her husband.
According to the tradition of this world, Bai Chuan buried the two old men together on a hillside facing the sea. Then, he erected two simple crosses as tombstones. Each cross had a token on it. The old woman's cross had a flower ring on it, representing that she came from the country of flowers and delicacies, Dresrosa. On the old man's cross, there was a cape with the word 'justice' written on it, proving that he was once a navy officer.
Standing in front of the cross on the hillside, Bai Chuan looked at the two crosses that were leaning against each other and listened to the wind fluttering the cloak on the cross. He suddenly felt that his life had lost some flavor. He no longer had the hot-bloodedness he had when he first came here. He might have suddenly lost two relatives, which made him a little afraid. This world was far from as simple as he imagined. If he was not careful, he might die without a burial place at sea. If he died, would anyone be sad for him? What about his parents and family on the other side of the world?
"Sigh!" Bai Chuan wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. He looked at the blue sea and mourned for his deceased relatives. At the same time, he believed in his parents from his original world. After all, a moment of passion could not hide the human's desire for home.
" Bai Chuan, don't be sad!" A villager came forward to comfort him. The island wasn't big, and everyone knew the people around them. They were the ones who helped Bai Chuan hold the funerals for the two old men.
"Thank you!" Bai Chuan nodded.
"What do you plan to do next?" The old village chief asked Bai Chuan.
"I plan to join the army in a few years!" Bai Chuan thought of his future plans and said firmly. In the village on the island, he had seen some pirates. They were sloppy and had despicable personalities, which completely destroyed his image as a pirate. Therefore, he decided to join the army. The life of pirates was too dark. If he joined a pirate group, with his current nine-year-old and somewhat handsome appearance, he would probably be sold to some family as a slave or child labor, doing odd jobs and being teased for fun. Therefore, he could only join the navy and learn the correct cultivation method from the navy.
"To be a navy!" The surrounding villagers had an inexplicable look on their faces. As people who had lived on the island for their entire lives, wasn't it good to be farmers in peace? Why did he have to go to the navy and fight with pirates and scum? He could lose his life at any time. Wouldn't he be letting down the lives that his grandparents had saved?
"Do you want to reconsider? Actually, the sheriff in the village has been getting old these few years.”The village chief suggested that Bai Chuan should learn from the village's security officer and take over his position as the village's security officer.
"No, thank you for your kindness. I have my own ideas.”Bai Chuan smiled and rejected the village chief's good intentions. He did not want his body to rot in such a place.
"Oh, in that case, forget it.”The village chief didn't say anything, but he didn't think much of Bai Chuan's attitude. Who didn't have a hot-blooded era? Back then, he had also joined the navy. Unfortunately, he couldn't endure the hardships and returned here. However, he still became the village chief. When Bai Chuan suffered outside, he would naturally return. If he made a request at that time, he would definitely agree, hehe.
After Bai Chuan sent away the guests from the same village who were going to mourn for his grandparents, he returned to the cottage. He still needed to live here for a few more years because there was a limit to the age of the navy's conscription. Without the recommendation of a high-ranking general, with his current age, he would definitely not be accepted. Even if he was accepted, he would probably only be ordered around as a handyman. He did not have the luck of Kirby to be chosen by Karp and brought back to the headquarters for special training. Therefore, he could only wait for another six years. Only when he turned fifteen could he join the navy's official recruitment, fill in his wish, and participate in special training.
Bai Chuan carefully calculated the time. In the years before he came, he had read about the Golden Lion's escape from prison in the newspapers. Based on the time in the newspapers, he calculated that there should be 17 years left before Lu Fei set sail and the plot began. He had to make use of this time to improve his strength as much as possible. At the peak of the Great Voyage Era, he had to obtain a seat for himself so that his transmigration would not be in vain. He even wanted to find a way back to Earth and return to his home.
