On the third floor of Sal Hotel.
The lights were still on in one of the rooms along the corridor.
The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy. On one of the beds, Xi Feng was asleep in a training robe.
After an hour of strength training before going to bed, Xi Feng was sleeping soundly. However, her sleeping posture was indescribable. Her sleeping robe was slanted, revealing a small part of her shoulders and a part of her belly. She was in the shape of a giant.
Higan glanced at her, a sense of helplessness flashing over her eyes. She walked over and covered Xi Feng with a blanket. She dimmed the lights in the room before she returned to the desk and flipped through a book that she had bought at Lighthouse Street.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet. Higan's figure in front of the desk made the whole room feel warm.
It had been almost half a month since she reunited with Tang Ling.
Time flew by so fast that no one realized it. Higan herself did not realize that she had become a lot warmer than before.
Just like what she did to Xi Feng, she would never have done it in the past.
Back then, Higan did not care about anyone, let alone the little details. It felt like after being with Tang Ling, he had warmed her up and she started to emit a faint warmth as well.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor and stopped in front of Higan and Xi Feng's room. Someone knocked on the door and a gentle middle-aged woman's voice came from outside. "Excuse me, Miss Higan, are you in your room?"
Xi Feng sat up abruptly and muttered something that no one could hear clearly with an unhappy expression. Then, she fell down and fell asleep in a second.
Higan was surprised. She put on her veil and opened the door.
She remembered the voice. It was the middle-aged woman who worked at the hotel.
The middle-aged woman outside the door was holding a delicate box. She looked at Higan who was still wearing her veil in the middle of the night. Her gaze was curious and curious.
From the moment she moved in until now, Miss Higan had never shown her face. What kind of lady did she look like that the nobles from the Coral Palace would come here just to give her a gift?
Although Higan could not see her face clearly, judging from her eyes, she was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.
"What is it?" Higan's tone was calm as she instinctively took a step back. Until now, she was still not used to being so close to strangers.
The auntie didn't mind. She just waved the box in her hand and said, "Someone asked us to bring you a gift."
"Who is it?" Higan asked.
"What about the Lord of the Coral Palace?" The auntie's tone was slightly excited when she mentioned this. After all, the Poseidon Family was the absolute ruler of the Tommy Safety Line.
"Thank you, but I don't need any gifts," Higan rejected right away.
"But …" Auntie Higan looked troubled. She suddenly remembered that the lord had told her that if Higan rejected the gift, she could open the box and tell her that she might need the gift at the banquet tomorrow.
Thinking of this, the auntie opened the box in time.
Inside the box was an extremely exquisite gown. It was made of fine silk from the East, with exquisite embroidery. The most important parts of the gown were decorated with fine sea pearls and coral.
It was gorgeous, elegant, but not vulgar. It was a very tasteful dress.
Almost ninety-nine percent of the girls who saw it would be moved.
However, Higan merely glanced over the gown and shook her head again. She was too lazy to even say a word.
"Miss Higan, I'm in a difficult position." The auntie looked troubled. After all, she was just a nobody. She could not afford to offend the lord of the Coral Palace.
Higan wanted to close the door, but when she saw the auntie's troubled look, her heart softened. She said softly, "Just tell him that I've accepted it and you can deal with it yourself."
It was the only thing Higan could do. She did not even want to touch a stranger's gift.
The auntie sighed. She knew she could not convince the beautiful girl in front of her and she could feel that Higan had compromised.
Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to deal with the gown quietly.
She did not have the courage to tell the lord that Higan rejected the gift. She was afraid that her little hotel would not be able to continue operating on Lighthouse Street.
The auntie left in a difficult position.
Higan, on the other hand, closed the door. The incident was not even a trivial matter to her. The seemingly precious dress was not even as valuable as the cheap book in her hand.
Dealing with the gown seemed to be a difficult problem.
The auntie came back with the box for a long time before she placed the gown in the woodshed. 'I'll burn the dress after Ms. Higan leaves.'
Afraid that something might happen, the auntie dared not burn the expensive gown, but she also did not dare to exchange the gift for money or simply throw it away.
Therefore, the safest way was to burn the gown after Higan left. Only then would there be no more trouble.
After locking the gown in the woodshed, the auntie left. To her surprise, after she left, a figure quietly appeared and easily opened the door to the woodshed before he snuck in.

"Tang Ling, I'm not coming out with you anymore. Don't tell me I'll wait for you in the yard, "Han Xing grumbled as he followed Tang Ling up the dark mountain.
Shouldn't he be in the Ocean Palace, soaking in the warm water happily with a beautiful lady serving him?
Back scrubbing, fruit feeding … Just the thought of it made him feel like heaven.
In the end, why would he run like an idiot in this cold, dark mountain filled with bugs, snakes, rats, and ants?
That's right, he had to sneak a peek at the Tommy Safety Line test!
What the f * ck?! What's there to look at? Han Xing was not even curious about the so-called test!
In his mind, was it not a given that he would pass it? Why did he have to sneak a peek?
Besides, everyone knew that the Tommy Safety Line test was top secret! It had been so many years, and other than the ships participating in the test, no one was allowed to peek.
It must be related to the Poseidon family's secret! Why did Tang Ling insist on sneaking a peek?
The thought made Han Xing want to strangle Tang Ling to death! He pressed Tang Ling, but Tang Ling had no intention of explaining.
What was a partner? To Han Xing, a partner was someone who would jump into a fire pit, but unfortunately, he had chosen a partner who loved to jump into a fire pit.
He felt like he was jumping into a fire pit every day.
Dong Yang shared the same thought as Han Xing. His eyes were filled with resentment as he watched Tang Ling run in front of him.
Unfortunately, since things had come to this, there was no point in retreating.
However, what happened to the earth-shattering event that was promised? Why did he have to sneak a peek like a pervert?
While Han Xing and Dong Yang were grumbling in their hearts, they had crossed three mountains and arrived at the northwest side of the Ocean Tear Island.
From here, one could see the Tsunami Island opposite the Ocean Tear Island from afar.
"Let's go down from here," Tang Ling said after he observed the terrain around him.
Han Xing and Dong Yang had the urge to curse when they looked down. Go down from here? What's the point?! It's a f * cking cliff!
