Chapter 179: Chapter 132: What a Time to Be Alive, Even the Sea Can Acknowledge a Master
The sky quickly brightened.
The sea’s surface remained calm and tranquil.
Jiang Yunnuan and Fu Yuan had yet to return. Having not slept all night, Si Xie’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with urgency and anxiety.
Glancing at the sun in the distance, he suddenly turned back to Ming Ye’s side and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Take me into the sea to find Nuannuan and Fu Yuan."
The guy’s genes had evolved, and he had successfully transformed into a dragon. Dragons can soar through the sky and dive into the sea; they are overlords of the ocean. Taking him into the sea would definitely be no problem.
Ming Ye frowned. "Why don’t you wait a little longer? It’s only been one night. What’s the rush?"
’What if Fu Yuan and Jiang Yunnuan are in the middle of something? It would be incredibly awkward if we barged in.’
"What do you know? Nuannuan messaged me last night! Fu Yuan is advancing, and she’s forced to stay at the bottom of the sea. Don’t you know how dangerous advancing is?"
"If something goes wrong with Fu Yuan’s advancement, what will happen to Nuannuan? She has no abilities right now. Her life depends entirely on Fu Yuan."
"I sent her a ton of messages last night, and she still hasn’t replied. She’s not answering her calls, either. I have a really bad feeling. I have to see her with my own eyes."
Waiting one night was already Si Xie’s limit. Now that the sun was out, he was burning with anxiety and couldn’t wait any longer.
Hearing that, Ming Ye couldn’t help but worry as well. But then his thoughts turned to Ming Yue, still unconscious in his arms, and he felt incredibly conflicted.
"But my brother is unconscious. If we both go to the seabed and leave him here alone, what if he runs into danger?"
Although this island was remote and hidden, it was home to many venomous insects and fierce beasts. Leaving an unconscious person alone was a very dangerous thing to do.
Si Xie glanced at Ming Yue in his arms, ruffling his own hair in frustration.
"How about this? We can leave a Barrier. If you’re still worried, then you go find Nuannuan in the sea alone, and I’ll stay here and watch our brother."
"The trouble is, you don’t have a contract with Nuannuan now. The sea is huge. Without me, you’ll have a hard time finding her. It would be best to take me with you. Hey, can you carry both me and my brother at the same time?"
Ming Ye thought for a moment, then said blankly, "I don’t know. I’ve never tried. How about you hold my brother and we give it a shot? If it doesn’t work, I’ll bring you both back up and go find Jiang Yunnuan on my own."
"Alright, let’s try it then."
"Okay."
Ming Ye handed his brother to Si Xie. With a flicker of his form, he transformed into a giant, purple-black dragon, soaring into the air and circling above the sea.
Lifting Ming Yue, Si Xie leaped without hesitation, landing firmly on the dragon’s back.
With a swing of its head and tail, the great dragon plunged into the sea.
The underwater pressure was greater than imagined, but it automatically receded from them. Even Si Xie, on his back, felt none of the ocean’s immense pressure.
"How is it, Ming Ye? Is this difficult for you?"
"It’s fine. I’m good. Just hold on to my brother and sit tight."
Hearing this, Si Xie gritted his teeth, his face contorting with anger.
’Damn it! If Ming Ye can easily carry two people into the sea, then that bastard Fu Yuan could have too. But that asshole claimed he couldn’t.’
’Great, so the truth is out. It wasn’t that the bastard couldn’t take me, he just wanted to ditch me. He deliberately left me behind.’
’I don’t know what kind of opportunity that bastard stumbled upon to suddenly start advancing, but his original goal was definitely to take Nuannuan to the bottom of the sea and take advantage of her.’
"Try to sense Jiang Yunnuan’s general direction."
Ming Ye’s voice rang in his ears, snapping Si Xie back to reality. He closed his eyes and activated his contract to sense Jiang Yunnuan, but he couldn’t feel her at all.
"That’s weird. I can’t sense Nuannuan. Could she have left the sea already? Or did something happen to her?"
"Then try to sense Fu Yuan."
They shared a mutual contract. Although his connection to Fu Yuan wasn’t as strong as his to Jiang Yunnuan, he should still be able to sense him to some extent.
"I’ll try!"
Si Xie activated the Power of Contract again to sense Fu Yuan. This time, he actually felt something.
"Southeast. Straight ahead."
"Got it."
With a flick of his dragon tail, Ming Ye sped off to the southeast.
Wherever he passed, the seawater parted, and the myriad members of the Sea Clan trembled in fear. Even the unimaginably massive deep-sea behemoths lined up to pay their respects.
In just two days, they had sensed two completely different, overwhelmingly powerful bloodlines. All intelligent members of the Sea Clan were completely baffled.
’What’s going on?’
’Is the ocean about to have two Sea Emperors?’
Meanwhile, Ming Ye’s speed was astonishing. The ocean was like his personal domain; he could reach any destination with a single thought.
In just a few moments, he crossed an unknown distance and arrived at a depression dotted with strange rock formations, coral, and seaweed.
"Over there!"
Si Xie pointed to an odd-shaped boulder. Halfway up its side was a platform, and a figure was lying on it.
His dragon form was too large to get through, so Ming Ye had to revert to his human form and take Ming Yue from Si Xie’s arms.
"Stay close to me. Don’t go more than three meters away."
"Okay, I get it. Let’s hurry over and see."
The two quickly went over and landed on the platform.
He saw the unconscious Fu Yuan, but no Jiang Yunnuan. Rage instantly surged through Si Xie. He crouched down, grabbed Fu Yuan’s shoulders, and threw a punch right at his face.
"Wake up! Wake the hell up...!"
BANG...
An immense, boundless power erupted from Fu Yuan’s body, violently flinging Si Xie away. He shot upwards like a cannonball.
"Not good!"
Ming Ye’s expression changed in an instant. He grabbed Ming Yue and gave chase.
He chased them all the way out of the sea and saw Si Xie fly into midair, only to start falling violently back down.
"Quick! Use your power to stabilize yourself!"
He yelled at Si Xie. Dizzy and nauseous, Si Xie instinctively reacted to Ming Ye’s words, rapidly channeling all his Energy to stabilize himself in midair.
BOOM...
Suddenly, the surface of the sea began to tremble as if an earthquake had struck. The water spun wildly, forming a giant whirlpool, and a power strong enough to destroy the world emanated from it.
"What’s happening?"
Staring at the suddenly violent ocean, Si Xie’s face went pale, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Ming Ye thought for a second and said, "The sea has accepted Fu Yuan as its master. When you hit him, you probably angered the sea. If it weren’t for the shared contract between you and Fu Yuan, it probably wouldn’t have just taught you a simple lesson—it would have crushed you to death at the bottom of the sea."
Si Xie: "..."
’Damn, you really do see it all if you live long enough. The sea can actually choose a master?’
’If I beat up Fu Yuan in Central City in the future, will the sea come rushing over to drown the entire city?’
’This is so messed up. No wonder that bastard Fu Yuan was always so smug when he mentioned his dual Beast Form. If it were me, I’d be smug too.’
’The sea has already accepted that bastard as its master. In the future, is the sky going to accept him as its master too?’
