Ye Zhen woke up in the middle of the night. She was sweating and gasping for breath.
"What's wrong?" Mo Rongzhan felt her panic and quickly hugged her in his arms, gently patting her back.
"I dreamed that something happened to Ming Xi." Ye Zhen grasped Mo Rongzhan's lapel tightly. "I don't know how I could have such a dream …"
Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly and held Ye Zhen's cold little hand. "You have been too nervous recently. We are now in the human world, nothing will happen."
Ye Zhen looked up at his handsome and moving face and reached out to touch his eyes. "It's because we are in the human world that your eyes can't be cured. There is too little spiritual energy here. Can we still go to the Upper God's Continent?"
"Do you still want to go to the Upper God Continent?" Mo Rongzhan held her hand. He thought that she would never want to leave the human world again.
"Of course, I want to cure your eyes." Ye Zhen said, "Can the gap in Guiyun Mountain still be used?"
Mo Rongzhan gently shook his head. "Cloud Returning Mountain's spiritual energy has completely disappeared. The gap cannot be opened again."
"There must be other places. Anyway, we still have time. We can look for them." Ye Zhen said.
"There's no rush. Let's solve the problem first," Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. "Go to sleep. Don't think too much."
Ye Zhen also felt that she was thinking too much. She leaned against Mo Rongzhan's chest and lay down again. Under Mo Rongzhan's comfort, she quickly fell asleep again.
Mo Rongzhan stroked her face gently. After confirming that Ye Zhen was completely asleep, he slowly sat up and put a medicinal pill in the incense burner. When he arrived at Ming Xi's room, there was no one inside, and the fire phoenix was nowhere to be seen.
He frowned slightly and guessed where the three children had run off to.
Ming Xi and Shang'er were still swimming in the water. What Ming Xi did not expect was that the turbulence came even faster this time. He remembered that they had been underwater for a long time before they encountered the turbulence last night. Now, they had not even seen the black hole, but there were already a few currents that were about to suck them in.
He quickly pulled Shang'er's hand, worried that she would be carried away by the turbulence.
A ray of light appeared on Shang'er's fingertip. She gently tapped on the water, and the turbulence calmed down.
A huge black hole appeared beneath their feet.
Ming Xi sensed an ancient and desolate aura coming from that place.
It was as if something was waiting for them in the black hole.
"Let's go!" Shang 'er pulled his hand and instantly transformed into a little white dragon, bringing Ming Xi along as they flew out of the water.
Ming Xi turned his head and his eyes widened. He saw a pair of withered and strange hands reach out from the black hole, stirring up the water of the entire lake.
A powerful, chilling, and terrifying aura emanated from the hand.
That large hand wasn't tangible, but it still emitted an aura that made one's heart go cold.
"Hurry and leave!" Shang'er pushed Ming Xi out, and she began to fight with the pair of illusory hands.
Ming Xi landed beside the Fire Phoenix and shouted, "Jin 'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure appear beside Shang'er.
"Father!"
"City Lord!"
Mo Rongzhan pulled Shang 'er's hand back and said in a low voice, "Stand on his palm and use your dragon qi to seal this place."
"Dragon Energy?" Shang'er was stunned. She had been in Dragon Bone Mountain since the day she hatched. Although Grandpa Long had taught her many things, she still didn't know how to use dragon qi.
"Sink your qi into your dantian and circulate your qi sea. Merge the two qi together," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Shang'er did as Mo Rongzhan said and indeed felt a strange flow of qi circulating in her qi sea.
"Use your dragon qi to force it back into the lake. I will seal it," Mo Rongzhan said.
"Okay!" Shang'er replied.
Although Shang'er had spiritual energy, she didn't know how to seal, so she could only lend her dragon qi to Mo Rongzhan. She forced the large hand back into the lake, and Mo Rongzhan used his dragon qi to form a barrier on the surface of the lake. A star-shaped light appeared in his hand and pushed the hand back into the black hole.
Bang —
The lake surface shook, and the surrounding mountains also shook. A huge star-shaped light flickered at the bottom of the lake, then dimmed.
After a while, the lake surface finally calmed down, and the mountains stopped shaking. Everything returned to normal.
The little white dragon leaped out of the lake and landed on the shore, returning to her little girl form.
"Shang'er, are you alright?" Mingxi hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine." Shang'er shook her head and looked at Mo Rongzhan who was walking over.
Mingxi coughed lightly, "Father, why are you here?"
Fire Phoenix lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at Mo Rongzhan.
"Let's go." Mo Rongzhan's voice was slightly cold. He didn't stay here and had already disappeared into the night sky.
"Let's go." Mingxi said and pulled Shang'er to follow behind Mo Rongzhan. Fire Phoenix hurriedly followed.
When they returned to the courtyard, Mo Rongzhan was already waiting for them in the great hall.
"Father …" Mingxi walked into the great hall and looked at Mo Rongzhan nervously.
"City Lord, I was the one who wanted Mingxi to bring me there. It had nothing to do with him." Shang'er was afraid that Mo Rongzhan would blame Mingxi, so she hurriedly took the blame.
Fire Phoenix said, "No, it was me …"
"How did you find out that there was something wrong with that lake?" Mo Rongzhan calmly asked. He didn't plan on asking anything, as there was no point in doing so now.
Mingxi said, "We suspected Ah Bu's origins and wanted to go to the place where we found her to look for clues. We found this lake deep in the mountains. Last night, I entered the lake and saw a large black hole. Today, I went with Shang'er. Father, what is that black hole?"
"Those hands were filled with the aura of another world. What do you mean by black hole?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"It's so deep that I can't see the bottom. It seems like it can suck people in." Mingxi said.
Shang'er said, "That's because you have my scales on you. I heard Grandpa Long say that there's a place in the God Realm where all the evil and evil are sealed. I think it's called … the Ghastly Underworld. I think that black hole should lead to that place."
"Didn't you say that Ah Bu is a mermaid? How did she … come from the place you mentioned? "Fire Phoenix asked hesitantly.
"Mermaid?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows, "Have you already confirmed her identity?"
Shang'er said, "Mingxi picked up a mermaid's scale in the lake. If I'm not wrong, Ah Bu is a mermaid, and a purebred one at that."
Mo Rongzhan stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."
"It's here." Mingxi immediately passed the scale to Mo Rongzhan.
"We're going to the Baili Continent in two days. Tomorrow, confirm Ah Bu's identity. If she really is a mermaid …" Mo Rongzhan frowned. He wasn't sure what Huang Fuchen's attitude towards Ah Bu was.
Mingxi said, "Father, Mister Huang Fuchen seems to care about Ah Bu a lot."
"If you're sure, you have to at least guarantee that the fish won't hurt him." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Leave this matter to us. We'll definitely confirm it tomorrow." Mingxi nodded, secretly thinking that he had to make up for his mistake.
Mo Rongzhan returned the scale to Mingxi, "Tell your mother after this matter is over."
"Yes …" Mingxi replied softly.
