A sliver of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, and the first rays of the morning sun pierced through the clouds, rendering the sky bright and beautiful. The azure sea surface reflected the rising sun, and the shimmering rays of light flickered, looking extremely beautiful.
Ye Zhen stood on the deck and looked into the distance. She had not seen such a calm and beautiful sea for a long time. When she went out to sea with her two children, her mood was unprecedentedly relaxed. Now, standing here, she did not feel a trace of relaxation.
"Yao Yao …" Guan Jie came behind Ye Zhen with a trace of nervousness in his eyes.
"Awake?" Ye Zhen looked back at him and smiled. "Does your neck still hurt?"
Guan Jie shook his head. He did not feel any pain at all.
"Here …" Guan Jie pointed to his heart. "I feel uncomfortable."
Ye Zhen was stunned. "What happened? Are you hurt? "
Guan Jie looked at her aggrievedly and shook his head vigorously. "I'm not hurt, but I feel uncomfortable."
"Let me see." Ye Zhen felt Guan Jie's pulse. His pulse was stable and there was no sign of injury. "I'm fine. Did anyone hit you here in the chest?"
"No." Guan Jie shook his head. "I don't feel uncomfortable when I see you."
Ye Zhen laughed and tapped his forehead. "What are you thinking about? You're like a child."
Guan Jie wanted to say that he was not a child, but he was born dull and did not know how to say it.
"Xiao Yao!" Fanfan ran up, her face a little ugly. "Shui Yichen doesn't seem to be right."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen and Fanfan immediately went to the bottom of the cabin to see Shui Yichen.
Wu Sheng was already there with the baby. The baby was perched on Shui Yichen's forehead, its golden antennae waving. No one knew what it was doing. Ever since the black blood worms in Shui Yichen's body were killed by the baby, Shui Yichen had fallen into a coma.
Ye Zhen almost thought that Shui Yichen was dead.
"Is he awake?" Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen who had sat up in surprise.
"He opened his eyes. He's not awake yet." Wu Sheng said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen's expression and saw that although his eyes were open, he did not seem to be conscious. "Are there still black blood worms in his body …"
Was it the black blood worms that controlled him to open his eyes?
"The Worm King is checking. If there are black blood worms, it will know." Wo Sheng said that he was the first to cultivate into a Blood Demon. Among all the Blood Demons, no one could surpass him. Moreover, he was the only one who could cultivate into a Bug King. However, he was also puzzled by Shui Yichen's situation.
Based on what he had seen before, it was impossible for Shui Yichen to survive until now after losing the Black Blood Worm.
Unless he still had Black Blood Worms in his body. However, neither the Worm King nor he could see that there were Black Blood Worms in his body.
"Shui Yichen." Ye Zhen walked up to Shui Yichen and called his name in a low voice.
"Little Yao, don't go over there." Wolong Sheng pulled Ye Zhen back, not letting her get too close.
Ye Zhen said, "He still doesn't seem to have any reaction."
"The eggs of the Black Blood Worm are different from the Crimson Worm. Even if it leaves its host, it will still survive. Stay away from it," Woo Sheng said.
"Are you suspecting … that he will become a Black Blood Demon again?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
He didn't want to hide anything from Ye Zhen. "Well."
"Then …" Ye Zhen wanted to say that she would kill Shui Yichen, but looking at his dull expression, she still couldn't bring herself to say it.
"If you kill him, the eggs of the Black Blood Demon will not disappear. Moreover … it will speed up his transformation into a Black Blood Demon, and he will be dominated by the eggs," Wolong Sheng said. It was safer to let Shui Yichen live than to kill him.
Ye Zhen called out a few more times, but Shui Yichen still didn't respond.
"How long will the baby be like this?" Ye Zhen asked.
"It wants to check every bloodline to avoid missing out," Wolong Sheng said. "It may take some time."
Fanfan said, "Little Yao, don't worry. I will keep a close eye on Shui Yichen. I won't let Shui Yichen become a Black Blood Demon."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. With Wolong Sheng and Fanfan here, she was more at ease.
"I'll go see Shen Luoyang first." Yesterday, Shen Luoyang was finally willing to speak. She wondered if he would be better today. If he was willing to tell her what had happened to him, maybe she could find out what Shui Yichen had done before.
When she arrived at the room, Ye Zhen saw Shen Luoyang lying by the window, looking at the sea outside.
"You're awake?" Ye Zhen walked in and came to Shen Luoyang's side. "It's so beautiful outside. Do you want me to take you to the deck?"
"Outside …" Shen Luoyang hesitated. She looked at Ye Zhen timidly, but in fact, she was looking forward to it.
Ye Zhen gently took her hand. "Come, we'll be in China soon."
Shen Luoyang's hands were thick with calluses, which were honed over the years with a sword. They were completely different from Ye Zhen's soft hands. She didn't know why, but this pair of soft little hands made her feel inexplicably safe.
When they came to the deck, Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix were standing guard, guarding against the sudden appearance of the sea demons.
When Shen Luoyang saw them, she unconsciously shrank back and stood behind Ye Zhen.
"Don't be afraid. They won't hurt you." Ye Zhen said softly, wondering what kind of despair Shen Luoyang had experienced. How could he be so afraid of the two teenagers?
"Mother, there's an island ahead." Standing on the sail, Ming Xi shouted, "Shall we dock?"
Ye Zhen was stunned. An island?
That's impossible! She remembered that there was no island in this position on the route.
She remembered that there was no such island before.
"Slow down and observe carefully." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. She was not at ease to approach the island that appeared inexplicably.
Ming Xi said, "Why don't I go to the island with Fire Phoenix first? If there is no danger, we can dock."
Their ship was hit yesterday. Although it was not damaged to the bones, it would be better if they could dock and inspect it.
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded, agreeing to let Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix explore the way first.
Not long after, Ming Xi sent back the news that it was a deserted island. Except for a few animals, there were no signs of human habitation on the island. They could rest on the shore.
Ye Zhen discussed with Wu Sheng and approached the island, intending to spend the night on it.
"The last catastrophe also changed the sea. I have never seen this island before." The route map in her hand was left from the past. They were still on the old ocean route. Even if there were some deviations, it would not be much different.
She was very sure that she had never seen this island before.
"The changes on the sea are more unpredictable than on land." Wu Sheng said.
Ye Zhen nodded. "Maybe."
In the middle of the night, Ming Xi, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and pushed Fire Phoenix awake.
"What's wrong?" Fire Phoenix asked, rubbing her eyes.
"I think I heard my master's voice." Ming Xi whispered. "Did you hear it?"
Fire Phoenix froze for a moment before remembering who Ming Xi was talking about. "You mean Sage An Ge? He should be in China. How could he be here? "
Ming Xi looked at the forest in the depths of the island. "Let's go there and see."
