The Sea Wave Finally Calms

A Dragon Son at the peak of his Qian Yuan realm was crippled and had his tendons pulled out in front of all the Little Ghost creatures. The brutal visual impact was etched into everyone's eyes, and for a long time to come, timid Clam Girl would often wake up from nightmares. An'an would tremble involuntarily whenever she saw the Wolf Tooth Club in Qin Yi's hand.

Even the feathered people were similar; every time they saw the Little Ghost that Qin Yi was inseparable from, they would feel a faint pain at the base of their wings.

Others thought the Little Ghost was inherently vicious, but little did they know that Liusu wasn't so bored; it was purely seeking revenge for Qin Yi's heart-ripping.

Qin Yi ripped out his heart and bathed in blood; even if the Pixiu's flesh and blood turned to ash, it wouldn't be enough to repay the debt. You, Chaofeng, will have your tendons torn and your wings broken to repay the debt!

Qin Yi had already woken up and was being carried by Qiu Niu, floating a hundred miles away, quietly watching Liusu's rampage.

As I looked at it, a smile unconsciously crept onto my lips.

I used to think that Bangbang was a very evil Vicious Spirit, but now, even though I see it doing extremely violent things, I find it quite cute.

Qiu Niu said from the side, "We are truly grateful for the great help you and your companions have given us this time."

Qin Yi said calmly, "I wouldn't dare... I'm more worried that since we're on your turf now, you might have some Pixiu thoughts."

Qiu Niu chuckled, "Why are you afraid of the well rope, sir? Do you really think there will be people plotting against you wherever you go?"

Qin Yi sighed, "We came to the sea this time because we were too hasty, and because things went too smoothly before... When I woke up, I thought, if the Great King and Senior Baxia suddenly wanted to harm us, would I be completely helpless and at their mercy?"

Qiu Niu shook his head. "Even if I were incredibly foolish, I wouldn't force you natural collaborators into becoming enemies. Besides... Chaofeng is adventurous, Pixiu is greedy; they act according to their instincts, hence this calamity. And do you know what I'm fond of?"

Qin Yi said, "It's a beautiful zither piece, so I was wondering if you would force my Senior Sister to stay and play it specifically for you."

Qiu Niu laughed heartily, but his laughter gradually turned desolate. After a long while, his laughter subsided, and he sighed, "My name is Qiu Niu, I don't know what it means. Perhaps the word 'prisoner' was destined when I was named."

Qin Yi turned to look at it.

Qiu Niu said calmly, "I have no interest in the power over the sea. I don't want to be confined to the sea, unable to leave even an inch. I have to sneak out like a thief just to see the chime bells of the human Imperial Palace... In other people's eyes, this is the power of life and death over thousands of miles, the power to rule over a hundred races. In my eyes, it is nothing more than a prison, a larger prison."

This vast sea and sky, boundless and limitless, is still a prison in the eyes of Qiu Niu.

Compared to the vastness of the world, the boundless ocean is but a small corner.

Qin Yi believed these words, because if it wanted to act arrogantly, its palace would not be so desolate that only music could be heard.

"If I had a choice, I would rather become Spirit of Music, hovering around your Senior Sister's zither, traveling the world with her, listening to all the sounds of the world," Qiu Niu said softly. "If one doesn't live this life to pursue what one desires, then what is the point of living for tens of thousands of years?"

Qin Yi recalled the words he had used to curse the Pixiu.

They hide in the sea for tens of thousands of years, just like turtles. What's the point of living like that?

Qiu Niu quickly provided an answer, "I might do that in the future, but not now... Some people must be confronted, and some things must be done. We... are the offspring of Torch Dragon, and also the beings of Jianmu."

Qin Yi also believed these words. Otherwise, why would Baxia have to bear the sea for a thousand years?

He looked down and saw that the sea was still roaring. The previous turmoil had triggered a tsunami. Once something like that is triggered, it is not easy to quell.

An'an flew over cautiously, saying tremblingly, "Your Majesty, our seas are taking in too many sea creatures, and they can't hold on much longer..."

Qiu Niu laughed and said, "Your Clam Clan has done a great service this time. Don't worry, I will keep this sea under control."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yi pulled out a bead. "This... will it be useful?"

"The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl!" An'an exclaimed with delight, "Sir, are you... fulfilling your promise to me?"

Uh... Qin Yi shook his head and handed it to her. "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't really keep my promise. I didn't specifically seek out the Pixiu for you... This time, after killing it, I naturally took its things. It's probably punishment for not keeping my promise sooner. If I had gone to get the beads for you earlier, this wouldn't have been such a mess."

An'an took the bead, her expression gentle. "Sir, you are a truly virtuous gentleman."

Several Dragon Son nearby stroked their chins. He didn't even help you snatch the pearl; he just took it on a whim. How did he become such a virtuous gentleman...? But thinking about it, it makes sense. If it were someone with ulterior motives, deliberately putting on a stern face and blaming the Clam Clan for lending the Pixiu pearl and causing trouble, and wanting to punish the Clam Girl Clam Girl, she probably wouldn't be able to defend herself... She would either have to offer up the treasure to appease them, or she would probably have to offer herself up...

As a result, Qin Yi apologized, feeling ashamed that he hadn't kept his promise earlier and hadn't been greedy at all in returning the bead to its owner.

That is indeed the perspective of a gentleman.

An'an caught the bead and tossed it into the air.

The gentle Water Spirit Power spread across the vast land, and the raging waves quickly calmed down. The storm gradually subsided, and peace returned to the four seas.

Chi Wen from Zhenhai, was almost exhausted and lay panting on the sea surface.

Qin Yi clapped his hands. "As expected of An'an, she lives up to her name."

An'an bowed with shame, but said nothing.

In fact, the fact that such an important treasure is still with the Clam Clan instead of being taken away by the Dragon Son shows that these Dragon Son are indeed upright people. Only the Pixiu is greedy and doesn't care about these things at all.

Qiu Niu, the mighty Dragon Son, didn't seem to have any treasures. He only had a Pixiu ring and didn't even have time to take stock of his belongings.

It's quite interesting that everyone has their own way of doing things. Even Ya Zi, who had some disagreements with him before, is actually a decent guy.

Perhaps Ya Zi will seek revenge on them in the future? It's hard to say. But Qin Yi no longer harbored hatred; instead, he asked Qiu Niu, "How is the Fifth Great King?"

"The flesh and blood have collapsed, and the soul is weak. This time, the Jian Mu Fruit can prolong the life, but what happens next depends on fate."

The group arrived at a branch midway up the Jianmu tree. The weak spirit of Yazi leaned against the tree, panting, struggling to survive on the tree's nourishment. Seeing Qin Yi approach, Yazi glared at him. "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Since the Fifth Great King is known as 'Yazi,' I wonder if he has ever tried to forgive and forget with a smile?"

Ya Zi, neck stiff with anger, retorted, "Never tried it!"

"What if you owe me a favor? How will you repay it?"

Ya Zi paused for a moment. "Hey, the Jianmu matter is a collaboration, not a favor."

Qin Yi took out a pill, dropped it, and left. "Whether you cause me trouble in the future or not, I'll be waiting."

The Forgetful Soul Heaven Pill is a soul-nourishing elixir with remarkable effects even when the body reaches the Qian Yuan stage.

Ya Zi stared blankly at Qin Yi's departing figure.

Such a valuable elixir... I really owe someone a favor, how can I repay it?

How can I retaliate later?

Ya Zi looked completely bewildered.

The Dragon Son were also somewhat moved; Qin Yi was truly magnanimous and True Lord.

The dog poked its head out from above and pursed its lips. What kind of gentleman is this? This pill is Liusu usually eats like candy... I've eaten several of them already.

If that guy were willing to give you the No Form Pill refined from the Xun Wood Heart, that would be truly generous. However, Dog doesn't think Qin Yi needs to give away something so important as a favor. Although the situation is now stable, Dog still needs to hold a position in Jianmu. To ensure it has a foundation for the future and to increase its influence in Jianmu, it's most reasonable for the pill to be used to enhance its own people.

The dog stroked its chin and looked at Yu Feiling in the distance.

He secretly thought that this winged person might be in luck...

Qin Yi didn't have time to go to the Feathered People's place yet.

A Little Ghost, struggling to hold onto a pair of wings and with Dragon Tendon wrapped around its body, wobbled towards him, grumbling, "I'm over there fighting for you to get your treasures, and you're just showing off here!"

Qin Yi said, "You're just unilaterally abusing someone."

With her hands on her hips, Liusu said, "Are you denying how hard I've worked?"

The two glared at each other.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Yi finally reached out and held Liusu tassel in his palm, weighing it in his hand a couple of times.

The Little Ghost flicked twice.

Qin Yi held up one finger.

The Little Ghost also stretched out an arm.

Bai Yu's small hand grasped the tip of the index finger, squeezed it up and down twice, then released it, and the two of them grinned in perfect unison.
