The Little White Drowned

Xiao Bai, who had been accompanying Ye Qiu, finally understood what he had done on Purple Pearl Island. But for someone as wicked as Ye Qiu, facing a woman like Zi Zhenzhu, surely he hadn't stopped at simply planting a mark!

Xiao Bai was certain of it!

After all, she could be considered a victim too. With Zhu Zhuqing and the others watching, Ye Qiu had teased her until she was thoroughly worked up.

If she hadn't rushed into the sea just in time, with that surging energy about to erupt, she would have embarrassed herself in front of Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others. But she'd had no choice but to let Shui Bing'er and the others witness the rare sight of an underwater current erupting at the surface.

Three days and three nights.

The trip took a different amount of time from their journey from Vast Sea City to Sea God Island. Back then, aboard the Sea Dongqing, Ye Qiu and the others had needed nearly half a month to reach Sea God Island.

But on the return trip,

Ye Qiu had used the Demon Soul Great White Shark King as their transportation and reached the waters outside Vast Sea City in just three days and three nights.

If Xiao Bai hadn't been unwilling to merge with him,

Ye Qiu figured they might have made it in two days and two nights.

Less than ten nautical miles from the docks, Xiao Bai, in her form as the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, had already stopped. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she couldn't get too close to shore without affecting the fishermen and sailors there.

So

Xiao Bai could take Ye Qiu no farther.

Ye Qiu could cover the remaining distance himself; it wouldn't take long.
