The human continent.
Ye Zhen did not tell Ming Xi and the others that Guan Jie was Wen Tian. She still found it hard to believe that such a simple and silly child was actually Wen Tian.
She could hardly imagine what he would be like after he woke up.
Would he rule the human continent and hurt others?
"Mother!" Ming Xi came over. He had wanted to see Ye Zhen for a long time. Since talking with Woo Sheng, she stood alone on the deck and looked at the sea. She did not say anything but let them continue to Burning Ocean Island.
She did not seem to be very worried about Guan Jie's life.
"Huh?" Ye Zhen returned to her senses and turned to look at Ming Xi, "What's wrong?"
"Why did Ah Bu take Guan Jie away?" Ming Xi asked. After all, she was his mother. He did not need to be polite.
Ye Zhen whispered, "I don't know."
How could she not know! Ming Xi felt that his mother was lying.
"Mother …" Ming Xi frowned, wanting to ask more clearly.
"Don't ask. I don't know how to explain it to you now. When we reach Burning Ocean Island, we will naturally have the answer." Ye Zhen said.
Ming Xi asked, "Is Guan Jie related to Wen Tian?"
Ye Zhen looked at him in amazement, "Why do you think so?"
"Woo Sheng and the others are very concerned about him, and Bai Yi …" Ming Xi thought for a while. He had doubts before. Woo Sheng and the others were unusually good to Guan Jie. Even if Guan Jie looked silly, they were blood demons. They would not pay special attention to him at first sight.
"Well, don't think so much. When we reach Burning Ocean Island, it will be clear." Ye Zhen said, not immediately telling the truth to Ming Xi.
Seeing that Ye Zhen did not refute, Ming Xi knew that his guess was right.
After Guan Jie was taken away, they did not encounter any more obstacles at sea. No sea demons appeared, and the iceberg was smooth sailing. After a whole day, they were close to Burning Ocean Island.
"Burning Ocean Island is ahead." Ye Chundong said, "This is just a small fishing island in China. There are not many people on the island. The whole island has more than two hundred people who make a living by fishing. I have lived here for a few days. The people are simple and kind. The island is also very quiet and beautiful."
It should be quiet here, otherwise, Huang Fuchen would not live here.
Huang Fuchen loved to live a secluded life.
"Let's dock first. Do you know how to find Huang Fuchen?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Yes, they live by the sea," Ye Chundong said. "But I don't know if they still live there."
Ye Zhen was also worried that Ah Bu had already left Burning Ocean Island with Huangfu Chen and the others, and they wouldn't be able to find them.
Their ship slowly approached the beach. Fire Phoenix threw the anchor into the sea. There were fishermen drying their nets on the beach. When they saw the unfamiliar ship approaching, they all stood up curiously and looked at it.
In order not to frighten the fishermen, Ye Zhen chose to go ashore in a small boat, so as not to fly directly over and frighten them.
"How do we get there?" Fire Phoenix asked Ye Chundong.
Ye Chundong pointed to the beach on the other side. "Go there. They live on the mountain by the sea."
"Ah No did not harm the mortals here." Ye Zhen whispered. The fishermen of this small island seemed to live and work in peace and contentment. They did not seem to know that there was a great monster on the island.
Woo Sheng said in a low voice, "Ah Bui is just a loner. He's not cruel."
Ye Zhen did not answer. She had to find the mermaid first.
"Why did she take the Guan Ring?" Fire Phoenix asked. "Does she want to use the ring to threaten us?"
How could a mere Ring of Pass threaten them?
"It's not a threat." Woo Sheng said, looking deeply at a mountain in the distance. The mountain was by the sea, and on the other side of the mountain was a cliff. Boats could not reach the shore from here.
On the mountainside, there was a bamboo house.
"That is where Huangfu Chen lives, but I just passed by last time and didn't go up. It was Mr. Huangfu who went down the mountain to meet me, and then I left." Ye Chundong said.
"Don't go up. Stay here." Ye Zhen said, "We'll go up."
Ye Chundong thought of the Flying Serpent he saw not long ago. He was afraid that following them would only cause trouble. "Then I'll wait for you."
"There's no sign of Ah No." Woo Sheng whispered to Ye Zhen.
"Even so, we have to go and see." Ye Zhen said. She looked at San 'er. "San' er, you have seen Ah No before. Do you know where she is?"
San 'er pointed her slender finger to the mountain. "There."
No matter how powerful a mermaid was, she was no match for a real dragon.
Ye Zhen no longer hesitated. She ran her spiritual power and galloped up the mountain.
Fanfan and Woo Sheng looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived outside the bamboo house. There were rows of purple bamboos planted outside. Ye Zhen almost thought that this was the Ten Mile Slope where Huangfu Chen used to live.
Ah No was squatting by the door, drying dried prawns. She was no different from the one Ye Zhen saw before. She was still fifteen or sixteen years old, fresh and cute. She looked timid and soft, making people feel pity for her.
If Ye Zhen hadn't confirmed her identity, she wouldn't have been able to associate the little girl in front of her with a demon beast.
"Ah No!" Fanfan blurted out. "It's really you!"
In contrast to Fanfan's excitement, Ah No did not react at all. She just looked at them in fear and retreated.
"What's wrong with her?" Fanfan was stunned. This was completely different from her impression of Ah No.
"Don't go in." Woo Sheng pulled Fanfan back. He had determined that the girl in front of him was an old acquaintance, but only she knew why she pretended to be like this. "Wait!"
Shang'er looked at them doubtfully. "What are you waiting for? She is Ah No."
Without waiting for Woo Sheng to speak, Shang'er had already pushed open the fence door. "Ah No, Ah No!"
Mingxi followed behind Shang'er. He was not worried that Ah No would hurt her. After all, when they were in the Yuan Kingdom, Ah No knelt down and saluted her in fear and trepidation.
The door inside the bamboo house opened, and a tall figure came out. He looked at the people who suddenly appeared, and was even more surprised when he saw Mingxi. "Mingxi, how did you …"
"Master, it's good that you are all right." Ye Zhen was relieved to see Huangfu Chen safe and sound.
She had always been worried that Ah No would hurt him.
Huangfu Chen was also stunned when he heard Ye Zhen's voice. He looked up and asked, "Yao Yao, why are you here?"
"Master, we are looking for Ah No." Mingxi pointed to the little girl behind him. "She is not simple. She is a great monster."
"Mingxi, what are you talking about?" Huangfu Chen laughed, thinking that Mingxi was joking.
Ye Zhen came over. "We are really looking for Ah No."
Huangfu Chen frowned slightly. He knew Ye Zhen and knew that she would not appear here if there was nothing important. "What happened?"
