The next morning, the sun shone warmly and brightly through the exquisite window lattice.
Three people, Ye Qing, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Ah Yin, were sitting around the round table outside, enjoying the rich breakfast provided by the hotel.
Ah Yin is still quiet and elegant, eating porridge and side dishes.
Ye Qing was holding a bowl of steaming meat soup with a satisfied face.
Sea Dragon Douluo was a little absent-minded. He didn't take a few bites of the food in front of him and glanced at Ye Qing from time to time.
Finally, when Ye Qing drank the last mouthful of meat soup, he let out a small burp with satisfaction.
Sea Dragon Douluo seemed to have made up his mind, cleared his throat, and asked in a low voice:
"Ahem, that... Xiaoqing."
Ye Qing raised his clear eyes and looked at him. "Huh? Uncle Sea Dragon, what's wrong?"
Sea Dragon Douluo rubbed his big palm-like hands, squeezed out what he thought was a kind smile on his face, and asked tentatively:
"Look, we have... um, got this Heart of the Sea God back. Things are almost done. This Heaven Dou City... seems like there is nothing to go shopping for."
He paused, observed Ye Qing's face, and said cautiously:
"How about... let's prepare and set off back to Sea God Island?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's tone was relaxed as if the task was completed and it was time to go home, but there was also a hint of unnoticeable urgency.
"Grand Pontiff must have missed you for a long time, and also missed us. It's been several months since this happened, so it's time to go back and report that she's safe, so that she can rest assured, right?"
The experience during this period, for Sea Dragon Douluo, can be written into a book "Titled Douluo Adventures in China (Frustrated Edition)".
First, he was attacked by brothers Tang Hao Tang Xiao. The treasures were robbed and the people suffered a small loss.
Then I had to "condescend" to go to the Spirit Hall for help, depending on the person's face.
Then he participated in the annihilation-level deterrent operation against the Clear Sky Sect, and was terrified (for fear that Tang Chen would suddenly come back).
Finally, he had to do the disgraceful business of entering the palace at night and stealing things, risking offending Heaven Dou Empire.
Although the final result was good, Heart of the Sea God was recovered, and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ah Yin was also successfully recovered.
He even suppressed Clear Sky Sect's arrogance.
But the process was too tortuous, too tiring, and too incompatible with his Sea God Island Second Worship, Titled Douluo strong persona!
He missed Sea God Island's calm, regular and respected life very much.
Missing the blue sea, missing those Sea Soul Master subordinates who treated him respectfully, even...
I kind of miss Master Bo Saixi's normal instructions, although strict, but at least he won't be allowed to sneak around.
More importantly, he never forgot the core mission and business of his trip!
When he left Sea God Island, the highest order given to him by Master Bo Saixi was to protect God Child's safety.
And at the appropriate time, bring him back to Sea God Island safely to prepare for the future Godhood Inheritance."
Getting back Heart of the Sea God is just a side task.
The real main line is Ye Qing!
It is to bring this future heir of Sea God, who is favored by Lord Sea God, back to Sea God Island safely and smoothly.
Then follow the guidance of Sea God, start the inheritance assessment step by step, and eventually inherit the divine throne, become the new Sea God, and lead Sea God Island to new glory!
This is his Sea Dragon Douluo, as Sea God Island Second Worship, the most fundamental and important responsibility!
Now, not only is Heart of the Sea God in hand, Ye Qing is also safe and sound.
There is even an additional Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast follower.
In his opinion, it is time to retire after success and return to the novice village and safe zone of Sea God Island.
As long as he returns to Sea God Island, under the nose of Master Bo Saixi, and under the protection of the seven Sacred Pillar, Ye Qing can accept the inheritance with peace of mind.
He Sea Dragon Douluo can then relieve himself of the burden of being a nanny and bodyguard and return to his majestic duties of Second Worship.
Therefore, he sincerely hopes that Ye Qing can nod and agree to return to Sea God Island.
However, facing Sea Dragon Douluo's expectant inquiry, Ye Qing's reaction was unexpectedly calm.
"Return to Sea God Island?"
"Why are you so anxious?"
Ye Qing's voice is crisp and clear, with a child's unique texture.
But what he said made Sea Dragon Douluo's heart skip a beat:
"It's not easy to come out, see the prosperity of the mainland, and experience so many interesting things... Why are you going back so early?"
"Sea God Island is right there, and he won't run away any longer. It doesn't matter if he goes back later, right?"
"Wha... what?" Sea Dragon Douluo was stunned when he heard this!
His copper eyes widened and he looked at Ye Qing in disbelief. His voice became much louder out of surprise:
"Xiaoqing, you... what do you mean by this?!"
He was a little anxious:
"You really... really don't want to go back to Sea God Island?!"
Sea Dragon Douluo originally thought that Ye Qing said before that he didn't want to go back, maybe it was just a child's playfulness, and he said it casually.
Or a small complaint about Sea God Island's strict rules.
Once you have had enough fun and the excitement has passed, you will naturally feel homesick.
After all, there is an environment he is familiar with.
There are subordinates who respect him.
And Mr. Bo Saixi who dotes on him.
What's more...
There is the supreme Sea God Inheritance that countless people dream of waiting for him!
Any normal person, any Soul Master, when faced with such a heaven-defying opportunity as the inheritance of a god, shouldn't he be eager to return home and want to fly back immediately to start accepting the test and become a god as soon as possible?
Why is it that when we get to Ye Qing, it seems to have become a troublesome thing that we can't avoid and put off whenever we can?
This...
What the hell is going on?
Not only was Sea Dragon Douluo confused, but even Ah Yin, who had been dining quietly next to him like a transparent person, couldn't help but raise his head at this moment, with an undisguised look of surprise on his beautiful face.
Her eyes, as blue as a lake, looked at Ye Qing curiously.
The heir to the gods that others dream of becoming, Sea God Island God Child, has a shortcut to eternal life and the peak...
In the eyes of this child who is less than seven years old, it seems to be a kind of constraint and resistance.
This...
How can the gap between people be so huge?
Ah Yin felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.
I am speechless about Ye Qing's "I don't know the blessings even though I am in the midst of blessings".
There is also a kind of... deep emotion for myself and the fate of countless Soul Beast.
They Soul Beast want to become gods, want to ascend Divine Realm, gain eternal life, and get rid of the shackles of Soul Beast and the fate of hunting...
The first step is to take a huge risk, give up your long life and powerful body, become a human, and start from scratch!
Then, they have to carefully hide their identity, struggle to survive in human society, and spend their infancy when they are the weakest and most vulnerable to being hunted.
Even if you are lucky enough to grow up and practice to the level of Titled Douluo or even Peerless Douluo, becoming a god will still be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Over the past ten thousand years, there have been very few successful people!
Most Soul Beast are either discovered and hunted in the early stages of their transformation.
Or die in the process of growth.
Or you will never be able to touch that barrier for the rest of your life.
Like Sea God and Angel God, those who were born into Self-Created Godhood and ascended to the Divine Realm in a mortal body are even rarer and they are legends among legends!
But what about Ye Qing?
