At the bottom of an unnamed underground lake in Texas.
Perhaps Ye Yuan's prayers had truly worked.
Or perhaps it was because this place was still within a dense patch of aquatic plants.
In any case, the attack he had imagined never came.
On the contrary, because Ye Yuan stopped swimming.
Even those smaller piranhas stopped attacking.
