Hidden behind the translucent Silk-Gauze Fin, Ye Chuqi was shielded from the pressure of the sea without losing much of her view.
Big Black Fish understood her at once. With a cry, he drew in the Silk-Gauze Fin around his neck, which he rarely used, folding it into layer upon layer of gorgeous frills.
His sense of beauty—
San San was laughing so hard in the space that he could barely breathe.
On its own, the Silk-Gauze Fin looked beautiful. But draped over a huge, fierce black fish wearing a hideous expression that was somehow meant to look cute and obedient, it looked bizarre from every angle.
Ye Chuqi didn't actually have to stay outside. She could even have brought Ye Qinglan and Red Beard along. If she couldn't reveal the space, they could use the space inside Big Black Fish's belly, though it wouldn't be pleasant.
But the Sea of Exile was even more dangerous than she had expected. The moment Ye Qinglan and the others came out, they would face all kinds of unknown threats. Their fighting strength would be useless here. If they came only to stay inside Big Black Fish's belly, what would be the point?
They were better off doing something useful on Rewa Island.
"Qi Qi, there are so many Ore Veins here!" San San exclaimed. But he knew this wasn't the time. Ye Chuqi needed to conserve her strength for whatever might happen, and spending Mental Power now would be unwise.
No one had set foot here for thousands of years. Though the Barton Empire trained Sea Beasts to mine Ore Veins, this stretch near the Sea of Exile remained all but impassable. The Ore Veins were still untouched.
Something occurred to Ye Chuqi. "San San, which way do the Ore Veins run?"
