The Sea Dragon King Has Manifested
The young man's face filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost. He was stunned.
"Let me fucking go, or I'll kill you."
The young man screamed in terror at the top of his lungs.
Splash!
With a casual toss, Ye Tian threw him into the sea, where the waves swallowed him.
A mere ant had insulted the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor. Ye Tian had already shown great mercy by not beating him until his soul scattered.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Tian walked into the cabin.
The cabin was extravagantly furnished, like the banquet hall of a luxury hotel.
A middle-aged man in a sharp suit was addressing the crowd.
"Everyone, I am Lin Zhen of the Lin Group."
"Each of you is a person of exalted destiny selected by Master Wu."
"The hour has come, so I'll spare you the nonsense. Please kneel and bow to the Sea Dragon King Statue in order."
"If any of you can make the Sea Dragon King manifest, he will become my Lin Family's son-in-law and marry Lin Mengyao, the president of the Lin Group!"
The moment Lin Zhen said this, everyone grew excited.
They had all been hired for five hundred yuan a day.
Go out to sea, bow to the Sea Dragon King Statue, and collect their pay when they got off the ship. It was a simple procedure.
But who would have thought they also had a chance to marry Jiangnan City's number one beauty, Lin Mengyao, the president of the Lin Group?
It was a blessing straight from heaven.
Only Lin Mengyao sat in her chair, her pretty face downcast and her expression gloomy.
A month ago, she had suddenly begun having nightmares every night. In her dreams, ghosts and monsters haunted her, frightening and terrifying her.
During the day, she was also in a daze and constantly suffered hallucinations.
Her body and mind had suffered terrible torment, and she was on the verge of collapse.
She had seen all the city's renowned doctors, but none could help.
Later, her third uncle, Lin Zhen, had invited Master Wu, a famous Yin-Yang Master in Jiangnan City.
Only then did she learn that she was being haunted by a vengeful spirit from the sea.
She had to find a person of exalted destiny to marry before the vengeful spirit could be suppressed.
Otherwise, her beauty would wither and her life would end within three days.
Master Wu had already searched throughout the city for dozens of men who met the requirements and brought them aboard the ship tonight.
Whoever could bow to the Sea Dragon King Statue and make the Sea Dragon King manifest was the chosen one.
"Master Wu, shall we begin now?" After speaking, Lin Zhen respectfully addressed a middle-aged man sitting in a grand armchair beside him. The man had a goatee and wore a black robe bearing the eight trigrams.
"Mm, let's begin!" Master Wu nodded, his eyes half closed and his manner that of an expert.
Lin Zhen hurriedly ordered his men to carry in a Sea Dragon King Statue that stood taller than a man.
Then he addressed the crowd sternly.
"Line up and kneel and bow one at a time, in order."
"Whoever can make the Sea Dragon King manifest will become my Lin Family's son-in-law!"
The people below hurriedly lined up in order and stepped forward one by one to kneel and bow to the Sea Dragon King Statue.
Lin Mengyao's heart immediately grew tense.
She stared at the Sea Dragon King Statue without blinking, her breathing growing rapid.
At the same time, a deep unwillingness welled up in her heart.
She had never even been in love. Was her future husband really going to be chosen this way?
Before long, more than thirty people had knelt and bowed to the Sea Dragon King Statue.
Yet the Sea Dragon King Statue stood there in solemn majesty, showing no response.
"Miss, it's Young Master Hu's turn."
At that moment, Uncle Fu suddenly reminded Lin Mengyao in a low voice.
Lin Mengyao looked up and saw a young man with a defiant expression and a frivolous air about his brows walking toward the Sea Dragon King Statue.
Her delicate brows involuntarily knitted tight.
The young man's name was Hu Dong, the young master of the Jiangnan Hu Group.
He spent his days loafing around, ignorant and unskilled, a young master who knew only how to eat, drink, and have fun.
He had been pursuing Lin Mengyao by all sorts of means for a long time.
He annoyed Lin Mengyao so much that the sight of Hu Dong gave her a headache.
She had never expected Hu Dong to be selected today as well.
Hu Dong took a few steps to the Sea Dragon King Statue and spoke in a mocking tone.
"Sea Dragon King, please bless me and manifest yourself quickly."
With that, Hu Dong knelt on the ground and bowed.
All of a sudden, the Sea Dragon King Statue blazed with golden light. The light filled the cabin, dazzlingly bright.
Everyone present went pale with shock.
"The Sea Dragon King has manifested!"
