Chapter 768: Insulting the Sea
l surely make the Empress happy." 。Your Majesty, look here, this is the contrast. When Lady Guiyue came to visit, she sent a letter to Lin'an as soon as she left her home. She even sent another one al...Seeing the second madam remained silent, Shen Muyang didn't intend to let her off so easily.
In his mind, once something happened, it would happen again. If he kept his wife, that beautiful Xiao Yaoyao might be bullied by his wife her entire life. Things like fighting and yelling would probably happen often in the future.
How could he bear to see Yaoyao cry in the future It's better to do it once and for all, just kill his wife. Anyway, the Shen family already has too many lives on their hands, so what's one more He doesn't know if the great demon would be willing to eat her, at least she wouldn't die in vain.
He thought to himself, and decided to call someone in to tie up the second mistress. Just then, there came a knock at the door, bang bang bang. The servant didn't even bother with etiquette, knocked a few times and directly pushed the door open, then looked at Shen Muyang and said, "Master, something happened!"
Shen Muyang's heart skipped a beat. Without even thinking, his first thought was of Xiao Yaoyao when he heard the news about the servant. He blurted out, "What's wrong with the new mistress Is she critically ill"
The servant was startled, then said: "No, it's the Wuchang Sea that has a problem. The waves are several people tall, and there are whirlpools swirling in the air. You can faintly hear the sound of fighting, but it doesn't sound like weapons clashing. It's very strange in general. Now everyone in town is gathering at the seaside, all kneeling there begging the Sea God for mercy! Master Second, you should go and have a look!"
Shen Muyang broke out in a cold sweat, and Second Madam’s eyes widened in shock. But Second Madam quickly recovered. This time, she laughed: “Karma! This is karma! Shen Muyang, you see, you wanted to divorce your wife and remarry, but that woman from the sea wouldn't agree. It seems like this won't work out for you. Just give up on this idea and live a good life!”
The servant who came to report didn't understand what she meant. Who, in the sea Which one, in the sea
But Shen Mu Yang understood, his wife was referring to the sea monster. Could it be that she had truly been taken by one Had a real monster refused her But it didn't make sense, wouldn't the monster just eat a child from the Shen family every year and leave it at that
As soon as he thought about eating children, he immediately told his subordinates: "Quickly, send someone back to Chiyun City Shen's mansion to urge them. Did they forget the day of the sea sacrifice They didn't come early for the sacrifice, making the Sea God angry"
He wasn't wrong to think that way, because during his time, something similar had happened on the Wanshan Sea. That was on the day of the Shen family's sea sacrifice, which was delayed by a day because the child sent for the sacrifice fell seriously ill and died the day before the scheduled date. The Shen family couldn't find a replacement child in time, which led to the delay in the sea sacrifice.
That great demon then flew into a rage, causing waves to flood half of Haixian Town. Later, when his father was out of options, he handed over the child born from a concubine raised outside the family. Only then did the demon’s anger subside.
The child's father didn't want to agree at first because he loved the child's mother deeply. He had always been devoted to her and never dared to tell his family about this woman, all to protect their child. Unfortunately, in the end, he failed to protect them both. Not only did he lose his child, but the woman was also taken back to his family's house where she was beaten to death. Because of this, his father fell seriously ill and spent a fortune on medical treatment just to recover.
Shen family men are allowed to take concubines and keep mistresses, but they absolutely cannot fall in love. They must know that all concubines and mistresses are for the purpose of giving birth to children for the Shen family, and the children born are meant to be fed to the great demon.
So when his mother learned that her husband had truly fallen for her, she was furious and beat the mistress terribly.
Shen Muyang thought, could it be that the main house had gotten the date wrong again Or was there a problem with the child
Now the servant has gone to report to Chiyun City. He didn't bother arguing with his wife any longer, donned his outer robe and walked out.
The second madam thought for a moment and followed along. With such a commotion in the boundless sea, she also wanted to take a look.
Before the two could even step out of the courtyard, another servant ran up, panting, "Master, it's not good! The new mistress and her brother poisoned the guard captain and ran away!"
Shen Mu Yang was really stumped. What kind of day is this How could his new wife run away at a time like this
Those guards were all masters, how could they have been poisoned What kind of poison was used Xiao Yaoyao looks sickly, her brother is also an idiot, just relying on the two of them to poison several masters What a joke.
He shouted at the servant, “Which way did he run Did you give chase”
The servant replied, “Master, we chased him, and he ran towards the seashore.”
Shen Mu Yang didn't think about it anymore, anyway he was going to the beach, might as well get two things done at once.
Then he hurried on, his steps quickening into a run. He almost sprinted out of the Shen residence and dashed towards the boundless sea.
The ocean waves were still crashing, when Ye Wen and Xiao Jiu arrived, they saw a wall of water standing tall on the sea surface from afar. It flickered between light and dark, sometimes clear, sometimes cloudy, sometimes forming whirlpools. Occasionally, faint sounds could be heard.
The sound, to those around, was like a fight, but it didn't sound like weapons clashing, so they couldn't tell what kind of noise it was.
But onlookers were unaware, Ye Wenyan knew too well! That was the sound of magic, there was clearly someone battling with magic on the sea.
Besides her and Shi Liuyuan, the only others in this world who could still fight with magic were probably that great demon she had heard about these past few days.
She ran forward, all the way to the beach, and jumped into the sea without a second thought. The shallows were still frozen, with waves rising in the middle of the sea but not reaching the shore, so the ice in the shallows remained unmelted.
Ye Wenyan took each step cautiously on the ice, trying his best to control his balance, but still found it extremely difficult to walk.
Xiao Jiu had been following her all along. When he saw she was about to fall, he would help her up. In the end, seeing that she was still walking and heading towards where the ice wouldn't be so bad, he became a little afraid. Braving the wind and snow, he shouted loudly, "Yaoyao, what are you doing Where are you going"
Ye Wen pointed to the place where the water curtain rose ahead: "I'm going there."
Xiao Jiu immediately got angry, "Are you crazy That kind of place is not for people to go! You didn't see that it was a big storm I don't know why you want to go into the sea, but right now the ice is forming here, I'll accompany you for a while, but if you continue forward, I will have to drag you back. Don't be so willful! Look at yourself now, what can you do"
Ye Wen didn't know what she could do, but she knew Shi Liyuan must be just ahead. She had a good idea of how much spiritual power Shi Liyuan could currently exert. That demon had consumed four hundred human lives, so it was definitely not a kind creature. What if Shi Liyuan couldn't handle it
Ke Xiao's wine isn't wrong, Shi Lifeng couldn't handle it either, so she definitely couldn't. She's not only unable to use a single bit of spiritual power right now, she's also seriously ill, and could faint at any moment. What if she goes up and gets herself killed
Xiao Jiu was still persuading her: "Go back! You watch us here on the shore, the farther away from here the better."
Ye Wen was unwilling to give up. She knelt down, her two hands pressed against the ice surface, muttering incessantly: "It's me, can you feel it It's me! If you still recognize me, lend me some strength so I can recover. If you don't recognize me, then help that person, let him kill the demon. We've protected you for thousands of years, and in the end, you're going to help a monster!"
She didn't understand what he was saying, and kept asking: "What are you talking about Who are you talking to"
She ignored Xiao Jiu. This matter wouldn't be possible to clear up with Xiao Jiu. Only she understood, she was speaking to Wu An Hai. The Ye family had been in contact with Wu An Hai for thousands of years, without merit there was hardship, not a close friend but at least a companion. If this sea had a life, it shouldn't be helping an outsider cause her trouble at this time.
She repeated her words over and over, her hand covering the icy surface until it was numb. Sadly, Wu'an Hai didn't give her any response.
Ye Wen was furious—"You goddamn heartless bastard! I've been kind to you, but you haven't even responded. Have all these years of the Ye family's efforts gone to waste If it weren't for the Night Array protecting you, you would have been taken by the Dao long ago and drained dry, becoming a vast wasteland. Now that you're still alive, you're ungrateful and abetting evil! You won't even give me a decent answer when I try to reason with you. If you want to die, just say so, and I'll send you to the West myself!"
"You, a boundless sea, are nothing but a drop of water that landed on Earth. With the inexhaustible energy within you, you have threatened humanity for millennia. Ancient cultivators from long ago attempted to drain you dry, and you barely survived. Later, my Night Clan saved you from becoming a mere lake, turning you into a sea and setting up an underwater formation to prevent your energy from being discovered. You owe gratitude to my Night Clan, yet you forget our kindness and instead side with that monstrous beast to create chaos. Do you not fear retribution"
She ranted and raved, venting her frustration in a way that made her feel better but left Xiao Jiu utterly confused. He stared at her, thinking she had gone mad.
"Every woman who enters the Shen family ends up becoming insane or foolish, Yaoyao, you've only been there for a few days This fast"
"It's already come true That's not right, you haven't even married Second Master Shen, how have you become part of the Shen family Could it be that the dowry sent to Chiyun City has been changed into a marriage certificate, and your marriage is now effective"
He shook his head here, muttering to himself: "That's ridiculous! I've checked it out. The eight characters you gave the Shen family are all made up, and at the top it even says Xiao Yaoyao's name. Even if you changed the marriage certificate, it would still be a marriage certificate between Shen Muyang and Xiao Yaoyao. What the hell is Xiao Yaoyao Can a made-up name work Is the Shen family a fairy cave"
Ye Wen's heart was pounding, questioning the vast, lifeless ocean. She didn't notice Xiao Jiu until he forcefully pulled her off the ice sheet, only then realizing how out of control she had become.
Damn it, she's actually cursing the sea, gone mad Even if this world is full of mystical beings and cultivators, it's impossible for the entire ocean to become sentient. She must be completely driven insane by anger.
As for sticking one's hand on the sea surface and seeking power from the boundless ocean, that is nothing but a foolish fantasy.
Underneath the boundless sea lie abundant resources, yet they are useless to this era. Ordinary humans lack the capability to harness them.
As for another era… I don't know why, but in her past life, there was no boundless sea in that era...you get crippled" As she spoke, she walked forward, still holding a soft whip in her hand. 。The whip was dragging on the ground, half of it trailing like a snake. 。Lou Qinghan instinctively took two...
