152: Chapter 152 Longze Goes to Sea, Forced to Separate

"What do you mean 'die'? It's not like there's no way to change things, so why die?" Mo Yuan warned with his eyes. "You'd better not let Mistress hear you say that, or she will definitely beat you up. We are a family; we solve difficulties together, not through sacrifice."

Mo Yuan had hoped to hear some ambition from Li Mingye, but he hadn't expected him to be so despondent. If Mistress found out, she would surely beat him up.

Li Mingye was reprimanded, his eyes struggling with conflict.

"Family?"

But he was the only human who wasn't a beast-kin; would Mistress still want him?

He couldn't implicate Mistress. He could dissolve the marriage contract, or even die, as long as Mistress asked.

Mo Yuan hit Li Mingye in dissatisfaction and warned him coldly, "Don't act like this. If Mistress sees you, she'll think I instigated you. If she wants to see my true form then, I won't let you off."

"Why? Are you unwilling to let Mistress see your true form?"

Li Mingye was confused. If he had a true form, he would naturally be willing to let Mistress see it.

"You don't understand, I..." Mo Yuan coughed twice and looked around. "Anyway, I can't let Mistress see my true form right now. I'll send you something good; study it, and try it out once you undergo Beastification later."

Li Mingye's Jade Slip rang. When he opened it, his ears turned bright red.

Was this something he could watch without paying?

"Watch it secretly. Once you've studied it, share some experience with me later." After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he left. Looking at Li Mingye, that blockhead, Mo Yuan curled his lips upward; he was determined to be the last one.

Li Mingye stayed up all night, finished watching it with a flushed face, then went to the seaside to wash with cold water several times, only to secretly watch it again. No wonder Mo Yuan said he should watch it in hiding.

A figure appeared in Li Mingye's line of sight. After seeing who it was clearly, Li Mingye shouted in a hurry, "Long Ze, where are you going?"

Li Mingye grabbed Long Ze's arm. Long Ze's gaze was dull, staring at the distant sea surface, ignoring his calls as he walked towards the seaside with great strength. Li Mingye hurriedly shouted, "Someone come quickly, something happened to Long Ze!"

"Mo Yuan!"

Li Mingye shouted loudly, holding onto Long Ze tightly, but was dragged to the seaside by him. Long Ze seemed to not hear his calls at all. He let out a Dragon roar, turned into a giant golden Dragon, and dove into the water. Li Mingye lunged but missed. Mo Yuan arrived upon hearing the sound, only to see Long Ze's golden Dragon tail disappearing into the sea.

"What happened?"

Feng Yange and the others arrived after hearing the sound, but Long Ze had already entered the sea.

Li Mingye pointed at the sea, "Long Ze went into the sea. He seemed possessed; I couldn't hold him back, nor could I wake him up."

Feng Yange looked at the sea surface, and suddenly a feeling of suffocation hit her chest, but it vanished in an instant.

"It seems we need to take a trip under the sea."

Feng Yange stared at the sea surface, clenching her fists, "System, is there a way for me to go into the sea?"

[Host can refine water-avoiding pills. After taking them, you can move freely, but your strength will be affected. Host can also refine Sea Beast Pills using the crystal cores of sea beasts; after transforming, you can take on a half-sea-beast form, which allows you to move in the sea just like a sea beast, though your strength will also be weakened.]

Feng Yange clenched her fists. Both types of Medicinal Pill would affect her strength. If she encountered danger under the sea, the risk factor would be much higher than on land. It was too risky.

"System, can you check why Long Ze went into the sea?"

[Host, his clansmen are calling him. Host can choose to go or wait.]

Feng Yange looked at the sea, "Is he in danger?"

[Host, no danger has been detected at the moment.]

Feng Yange loosened her tightly clenched fists. Seeing the worry in the eyes of the others, she said, "Let's go back first. A-Ze is not in danger for the time being. Right now, we have no choice but to wait."

The group returned to the shore, each looking quite grim.

"A-Ye, why do you look so pale?"

Feng Yange looked up and was almost startled by Li Mingye. The dark circles under his eyes gave her a fright. "You didn't sleep all night?"

"Mistress, I didn't sleep. I was thinking about the first night of keeping watch, and I didn't expect to see such a scene. Is Long Ze really okay?" Li Mingye dared not tell the truth, but his face had an unnaturally flushed complexion.

"The System says it's his Dragon Clan clansmen calling him; it's likely a unique method of sound transmission for their Dragon Clan. There's no danger for now, but I plan to refine some water-avoiding pills, which might come in handy. After dawn, you should all go around the sea area to see if you can find any crystal cores of sea beasts for my Alchemy."

Feng Yange told them what she knew. Apart from Long Ze, no one else here could enter the sea; after all, the underwater world was not suitable for them.

For several consecutive days, Feng Yange took them to search for the Materials for the water-avoiding pills. Fortunately, they could be found in the surrounding mountains, and combined with the herbs they had gathered before, it wasn't difficult.

There was no news from Long Ze, and they didn't sense that he was in danger, but the Jade Slip messages they sent to Long Ze received no response.

Feng Yange distributed the water-avoiding pills to them. "The effect of the water-avoiding pill only lasts for 12 hours; we won't be able to stay in the sea for long."

The Materials for the water-avoiding pills were limited, and the water-avoiding pills each person received would only allow them to stay in the sea for half a month.

"Mistress, I will go down and take a look."

Mo Yuan spoke up, "I'll also see if I can find any sea beast crystal cores."

"That's good. Go and see the situation under the sea. Don't be impulsive; return immediately if there is danger." Feng Yange instructed. Mo Yuan swallowed a water-avoiding pill and walked towards the sea, quickly disappearing from the surface. Feng Yange stood nervously on the shore. The Jade Slip rang; it was Mo Yuan, and he directly sent a shared visual feed.

"Mistress, after eating the water-avoiding pill, it's no different in the sea than on land. However, I have to go to the deep sea. I will keep in touch with you at all times."

Mo Yuan walked in the sea holding the Jade Slip without feeling any discomfort, but the images transmitted back were only ordinary fish from the seabed; there was nothing unusual in the sea.

"Mistress, it seems to be the Sea Clan down here. I'll cut the connection for now and contact you later."

Mo Yuan's voice disappeared. Feng Yange looked at the sea surface, waiting anxiously, while Xuan Li and the others continued to search for sea beasts nearby.

"Mistress, perhaps there is another way."

Cang Yan's voice came, and he landed, transforming into human form, and walked in front of Feng Yange.

"We can seek help from the Sea Clan; perhaps I can try."

"You know the Sea Clan?" Feng Yange watched as Cang Yan shook his head, and the glimmer of hope that had risen faded away again.

Cang Yan stretched out his hand, sliced his palm, and blood flowed with the seawater towards the distance. Feng Yange grabbed Cang Yan's hand, her eyes full of confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Using my blood can attract the Sea Clan to come."

Just as Cang Yan finished speaking, something came swarming from the distant sea. Cang Yan wrapped his arms around Feng Yange's waist and flew to the shore. In the distance, it was densely packed with all kinds of sea beasts, all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but they were evolved Sea Clan, ugly in appearance, with hard shells and blood-red eyes.

"Cang Yan, it really is you!"

A voice full of joy came from afar. A blue figure emerged from the sea, and with a flick of a huge fish tail, those Sea Clan immediately retreated to both sides.
