Fully Prepared

"Is it coming out?"

Liang Qu's eyes lit up. He quickly rolled over and dressed, put on his pill-filled dental guard, prepared a separate small wooden box, then grabbed Long E Ying's hand and jumped into the pond.

Cannot Move, who had been staying at the house, wagged its tail and followed.

He had prepared for this day for more than half a year, waiting from winter until autumn, traveling from the Imperial Capital to Pingyang. He was certainly nervous—after all, he was about to face a Demon King—but when the moment came, there was no panic at all. From Fat Catfish's report to their successful arrival, less than half an incense stick's time had passed.

White Current scattered.

The two humans and one crocodile set foot in the Algae Forest.

"Frog Duke! How is it?"

"There's treasure!"

Old Toad fixed his gaze on the distance, his webbed claws gripping the Yellow Leather Bag tightly.

Its Yellow Leather Bag had been hungry for far too long! For more than half a year, it had spent nearly half its time stationed in the Algae Forest before Sea Abyss Palace. Who knew how much wealth it had missed? It had to make up for it fiercely!

Liang Qu followed its gaze.

There was nothing there.

A moment later.

"Follow me!"

Old Toad kicked its webbed feet and, with a swish, sprang northward.

Liang Qu held Long E Ying's hand as Fat Catfish and Cannot Move followed close behind.

After swimming who knew how far, Sea Abyss Palace gradually vanished from sight, while the surroundings grew increasingly desolate.

"The rebirth location?"

Liang Qu thought.

There were too many fish around Sea Abyss Palace. Even if the Underground Palace was well hidden, the secret of the rebirth could be exposed by the slightest carelessness.
