The sea breeze fluttered the thin curtain on the window.
The blue seashell window fluttered and the coral wind chimes tinkled.
Higan sat on the edge of the window. Even though she was wearing the black mask that Tang Ling had removed from his face, her beautiful body was like a painting embedded in the window at night.
One could not help but wonder how she looked like, but one could not bear to do so. What if it was not an imagination? Would it not ruin the romantic anticipation in one's heart?
Many young men would pass by the street and stare at her, but none of them dared to dream about it.
What kind of place was this?
It was the most prestigious place in the deck area of Darkness Port other than the castle. Those who could live in this place were not just rich but also powerful.
Coveting the woman who lived in this place was no different from suicide.
What were the thoughts of the people outside the window thinking? Higan did not care at all. She was enjoying the salty sea breeze and the extra shell toy on the table. For the first time in her life, she felt a little complicated.
Under the shell toy, there was a piece of paper. On it was Tang Long's handwriting, which was clearly strong but slightly restrained.
'Look, she likes you too, so I had to bring her back.'
"Is that so?" Higan's finger uncontrollably stroked the mask on her face as her thoughts drifted away.
Tang Long was a good person, but he did not know that she had never wanted to own this toy. She did not even have the desire to own anything. All she cared about was the emotions that were stirred up.
Why did she always want to have this mask? When she wore it, she could still smell the comforting scent.
The corner of Higan's lips curled up into a smile.
Higan was looking at the sea of moonlight in front of the window while Tang Long was looking at her in the yard.
There was only a glass of water in front of him. Unless it was a special situation, Tang Long would not drink any water that was not beneficial to his body.
However, when he looked at Higan, the glass of water tasted a little sweet.
Memories.
The grayish-blue sky that was always chaotic.
The chaotic and disorderly mountain range.
The dark and chaotic water currents.
The ferocious and terrifying creatures.
The willpower that thought it would never crumble was on the verge of crumbling under the endless ugly scenery and the hopeless pursuit.
No one could imagine what it would be like to meet a girl as beautiful as a painting at such a time.
That feeling wasn't one of being redeemed, but of dying with no regrets. At least the last illusion before death was beautiful.
But that girl was real.
He could not forget that in front of him, when he was weak, she walked over indifferently. Death bloomed at her feet, but it made her look exceptionally merciful.
Because those who died under her feet were all groups of ferocious monsters.
Her face was expressionless. She seemed to be searching again. She muttered to herself, but could only utter meaningless syllables.
At that moment, Tang Long had a deep feeling that she was looking for her pillar of support. What she had muttered to herself should have been a clear sentence, but after staying in such a place for so long, she had forgotten what she had been saying all along. All that was left was this habit.
His determination made Tang Long's heart ache.
As she brushed past Tang Long, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of her skirt.
She turned around, her eyes cold and frightening.
However, when she saw Tang Long's face clearly, a trace of doubt, confusion, and reminiscence flashed in her eyes.
She squatted down and twitched her nose. Then, she sat down and stopped moving, but her eyes were still empty.
"I'll go with you, okay?" Tang Long asked.
She nodded. She was the first Higan in Tang Long's memory.
Even now, when he recalled how she nodded, Tang Long's heart still felt a complicated sweetness. Did she recognize his scent from the very beginning?
How strange. Judging a person by scent? Tang Long really hoped that there was no other scent in the world that Higan could recognize.
If there was, he would just kill him.
A trace of coldness flashed over Tang Long's eyes. At that moment, a subordinate came over and said, "Young Master Long, Mr. Qi Dou wants to talk to you."
Tang Long nodded. He stood up and glanced at Higan before he walked into his room.
In the room, Qi Dou's image had already appeared on the huge transparent screen. He was sitting in a snowy place, and beside him was a huge, misty lake.
At this moment, Qi Dou was drinking the wine from the gourd he carried with him.
"Teacher." Tang Long sat down in the room and sized up Qi Dou's surroundings curiously. He asked, "Where are you?"
"Scarr Safety Village, a small place. This is the place where the mysterious lake appeared on the news a while ago, "Qi Dou answered calmly.
"Did you find anything?" Tang Long raised a brow. He was also curious about the sudden appearance of the lake.
"I can only say that it's a secret." Qi Dou did not seem to want to dwell on the topic. After a simple answer, he asked, "Did you see Zero?"
"Yes, I did. Everything is going smoothly. He started to guide my Precise Instinct for an hour a day. That's how it is for now. "
"It's going so smoothly?" This time, it was Qi Dou who was doubtful.
"It's going very smoothly. It started today. I'm very fruitful. " Tang Long paused for a while before he looked at Qi Dou and said, "But he told me to tell you something.
He said that he won't be unfair to me. Before a certain point, he has no stance. He will only wait and see. "
The doubt on Qi Dou's face vanished when he heard that. His eyes showed a tinge of emotions.
After a moment of silence, Qi Dou said, "This is a very good result. Cherish your cultivation time and fight for what you should, like Zero's admiration. "
"I will."
"But teacher, is there anything else today?" Tang Long asked.
"Of course. In April, a ship will arrive at Darkness Port. It's your ship that the council has specially prepared for you.
Now, the geniuses of Darkness Port have gathered and the major factions of Darkness Port are making their move.
"As for you, shouldn't you be recruiting your crew?" Qi Dou then took a sip of his wine before he added, "Tang Ling will also appear in Darkness Port. Don't you have the demon in your heart? You can solve it here. "
"Tang Ling?!" A trace of complicated emotions flashed over Tang Long's eyes.
He then asked in confusion, "Ship? Crew? "
"Yes, Tang Ling! But in Darkness Port, you can't use the council's power to touch him. You can only defeat him in a fair and square situation because this is Darkness Port. This is Darkness Port. We don't care about schemes here, only strength. "
As for the ship and the crew, it's related to the agreement that the major factions of the world have made. "

Gulp! Boss Huang finished a glass of Level 3 vicious beast milk in a single gulp.
Crunch! Crunch! Once again, he sneakily finished a large chunk of the sugarcane.
In the end, he stuffed two big steamed buns into his mouth and almost choked himself to death.
In short, he finished the whole pile of food in less than a minute.
Tang Ling gaped at Boss Huang. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Boss Huang glared at him. However, Boss Huang glared at him fiercely. "If the news of me eating secretly gets out, I'll make you pay!"
"What does it have to do with me? Why don't you go after Ding Ling and Ding Dong? "Tang Ling was pissed.
"You're easy to bully," Boss Huang said sternly.
Tang Ling swallowed his anger. Fine, I'll hold it in! When I'm stronger, I'll beat you up every day!
"Are you going out today?" Boss Huang was about to head out of the shop, but he suddenly stopped.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Ling was concentrating on handling the blank in front of him as he answered.
"You better hurry up. Higan has been here for almost half an hour." As Boss Huang spoke, he glanced at Tang Ling with a sneaky gaze.
Tang Ling acted like he did not hear her. He took the processed blank down from the anvil and picked up another one.
As long as one was familiar with any technique and crossed a certain threshold, one would improve quickly.
Tang Ling felt like he had reached the entry level, and the three smithing techniques were not enough anymore. Could he improve faster?
Just when Boss Huang felt bored and wanted to walk out of the smithing room, Tang Ling stopped him.
Boss Huang turned around with a sneaky smile. "See? You're still concerned about that little girl, aren't you?"
"I think I'm already familiar with the three smithing techniques. Is there anything else you can teach me?" Tang Ling did not care about Boss Huang's question and stated his request.
In the next second, he said in a serious tone, "I love smithing for you, and I'm happy to earn more money for you. I need to learn, learn, and learn."
"Shut up, you bastard. Do you think I'll believe you? " Boss Huang did not buy it because he was a shameless person himself. He waved his hand and said, "When you can smith 20 blank in a day, I'll teach you something new."
"Sure," Tang Ling answered straightforwardly. It was not a difficult goal to achieve.
"Boss, I want to know the whereabouts of the Ro siblings. How much is the information?" Tang Ling asked. It was time to contact them.
"Smart. Just talk about money." Boss Huang smiled and raised a finger. "Their information isn't expensive at all. One Black Wind coin. Think of a way to earn it."
"Can you guarantee my safety? I don't have a disguise anymore. You said that even if I show my true face in Darkness Port, it won't be a problem! "Tang Ling pressed.
"You little bastard, are you trying to get my protection?" Boss Huang pouted. He then took something out from his pocket and tossed it to Tang Ling. "Take this with you. Don't cause trouble."
What the hell is this? Stinky socks?
Tang Ling took the piece of cloth in his hand and shook it in disgust. It was a face cloth.
There was a dog's head drawn on the face cloth, but there was nothing special about it. Isn't Boss Huang a blacksmith? Why are there so many things on him?
Also, why is Higan here? This is so troublesome! Tang Ling scratched his head in annoyance. He decided to continue smithing since smithing was enjoyable.
