Farewell

It was already March. Looking at the land from afar, it was green and sprinkled with some flowers.

After getting ashore, An Lie and An Cheng stood on the ground in a daze. They had not returned to the surface for too long. When they returned to their former home, neither of them spoke. They both knew that this was no longer home. There was no mother or sister waiting for them to go home. To them, this was a house and not home.

An Lie and An Cheng followed Su Xiaolu and her masters to the small courtyard to stay for the night.

The next day, An Lie and An Cheng said goodbye.

An Lie smiled and said, “Master, Uncle and I want to go out for a walk. We’ve never left Qing county in our lives. Now that we have nothing to worry about, we want to take a look around.”

Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie and An Cheng. She really wanted them to stay, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Old Wu brought a box to An Lie. “Take it with you. If you encounter any trouble, you can look for these people to help. The world is big. It’s good to travel around.”

Old Wu rarely asked questions. Now, it could be considered his approval of An Lie.

An Lie took it with both hands and said respectfully, “Thank you, Grandmaster.”

Old Wu frowned and muttered softly, “You make me sound old.”

But there was nothing they could do. An Lie was Su Xiaolu’s eldest disciple.

Gui You gave An Lie and An Cheng a small dagger each. It was not big, and the blade was only the length of a finger. It was very convenient to carry.

An Lie and An Cheng’s hearts were heavy. After this farewell, they really didn’t know when they would meet again.

The world was far and wide, and it would probably be difficult to see them again.

An Lie and An Cheng went out and left the place where they grew up completely.

The two of them no longer had any lingering feelings for this place.

The Li family also retreated from Qinghai.

It was as if nothing had happened. No one’s life had changed, except for An Lie and An Cheng.

March 10th.

Su Xiaolu and the others went out to sea again. This time, it was to catch the big Kun.

There was no time to delay detoxifying Zhou Zhi.

The sea breeze was salty and humid. Su Xiaolu stood on the deck and looked at the sea.

“Miss Su, go in and rest. Master made tea. Go in and have a drink.”

Jin Wu walked to Su Xiaolu’s side and spoke. Su Xiaolu had been standing outside for a long time.

Su Xiaolu nodded and went back into the cabin.

Zhou Zhi was only wearing plain clothes with a cloak draped over his shoulders. He picked up a teacup with a clip and washed it before pushing the brewed tea in front of Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu picked it up and took small sips.

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu quietly. In just two months, Su Xiaolu seemed to have changed drastically. Her inexperience had receded from her body. Every year after that, she would grow more and more mature.

He just didn’t know how much longer he could stay with her.

Whether he was willing to accept it or not, he and Su Xiaolu would have to say goodbye one day.

Su Xiaolu drank the tea and smiled at Zhou Zhi before leaving.

For the next period of time, they would search for traces of the big Kun on the surface of the sea and then ambush it.

Life on the sea was peaceful. Su Xiaolu cultivated most of the time. The spiritual energy on the surface of the sea was natural and very helpful for cultivation.

Seawater was also water, so Su Xiaolu’s perception was getting stronger and stronger. However, it was already April, and after going out to sea for so long, there was no trace of the big Kun at all for some reason.

Could it have swam to a sea area further away?

Wouldn’t that mean they were going to other countries?

They had encountered some Sea Kun. They had prepared a lot of things, so they decided to wait a little longer.

If there was still no trace of the big Kun in May, they would settle for second best and catch Sea Kun.

In mid-April, Su Xiaolu sensed the existence of the big Kun.

Their boat headed for the big Kun.

As they got closer and closer, everyone began to prepare. The thick rope was as thick as a human. It was used to tie up the Kun.

Su Xiaolu poured the oil extracted from the Sea Kun into the seawater to lure the big Kun here.

When that huge thing emerged from the water, everyone was shocked. The big Kun was really too big.

They definitely had no natural enemies in the sea area.

With the bait, the big Kun crawled into the lock. As the lock tightened, the ship was pulled down fiercely.

Jin Liu and the others jumped into the sea without caring about their own safety, stabbing the sword in their hands into the big Kun’s body.

“Boohoo—”

The big Kun let out an ear-piercing sound wave. Everyone felt their ears buzz and hurt. Warm blood flowed out.

The big Kun rolled, and the ship tilted instantly.

Zhou Zhi wrapped the big Kun with vines. He floated in the air and tried to pull the big Kun out of the water with his strength.

Blood dyed the seawater red.

Su Xiaolu was also working hard to dry the seawater around the big Kun. This was a battle of superpowers.

The big Kun didn’t seem to have any special abilities, but its rolling and sound waves could cause internal injuries to them. However, everyone was a superhuman and realized the big Kun’s sound waves attack.

...

They had to catch the Kun today.

Just as the big Kun’s struggles became weaker and weaker, a blue light emitted from its body.

With the big Kun as the center, a water pillar appeared. The water pillar pulled everyone in. At that moment, Su Xiaolu felt her vision go black and she completely lost consciousness.

In a daze, Su Xiaolu felt herself being lifted upside down. The swaying made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Her stomach churned and she subconsciously opened her mouth and vomited.

Her vision blurred. She blinked and calmed her breathing before she was slowly able to see clearly.

She was a little confused. She was carried in a large cage woven of grass vines.

But why did she feel like she had been turned upside down?

Not only her, but Jin Liu and the others were also around her.

Su Xiaolu saw that the people behind her were her old Masters.

They were all gradually waking up, and they were all feeling very uncomfortable.

Su Xiaolu looked at the people carrying them and was shocked.

...

Many still retained the characteristics of fish. Some were humanoid, and some had fish heads.

Their exposed arms were covered in scales of various colors.

Su Xiaolu tested her superpower. It was suppressed.

She circulated her internal breath and also felt very uncomfortable.

Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and began to think about her current situation. The big Kun was from a foreign land, right?

They were intelligent and civilized.

Su Xiaolu thought of the big Kun in the sea area and felt that it was similar to them exploring the foreign land. The two worlds were fusing, separated by the white fog. Inside the white fog was the foreign land, and they could enter the fog to explore. Of course, the big Kun could also come out of the sea area to explore.

Su Xiaolu shivered. Their current situation was very bad.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

Su Xiaolu saw a merpeople’s neck tremble and make a strange sound. The other merman quickly trembled his neck and replied.

Were they communicating? What did they say? There was a language barrier. Su Xiaolu felt a headache. If there was a language barrier, she could not negotiate.
