Chapter 573 (1/2)
Since Midi'er and Leguxiya hadn't come, Long Yi and his party returned to Xingxing's house. Fortunately, all dragons had their own exclusive territories, and under normal circ.u.mstances, they would not visit each other. Therefore, staying here, Long Yi and his party didn't have to worry about other dragons finding them.
At this moment, Teresa and Liuli sat in wooden chairs under the eaves. They chatted while looking at one big and one small figure playing noisily in the garden with big smiles on their faces.
”In these several hundred years, this is the first time I've seen Xingxing so happy. Long Yi seems to like children very much,” Teresa said with a smile, her eyes filled with warmth. At this moment, she was truly grateful that these people had come here and filled this desolate island with laughter.
”He himself is a child sometimes; naturally, he likes children,” Liuli sipped a mouthful of tea and said, but her eyes were following Long Yi's figure. As long as he was beside her, she would feel at ease and that this world wasn't lonely and bitter. He was a very peculiar person. With him around, no one could avoid laughing heartily. He always disguised himself with a roguish look and a bad manner, making people hate yet also love him, but once in a while, his eyes unintentionally showed a hint of sadness, making her understand that there actually was a place in his heart that no one could touch. Perhaps, that place held his truest essence and was his softest and weakest place.
”If you hadn't told me, I would truly never guess that he was the manipulator behind-the-scenes of the unification of Blue Waves Continent and is someone who conquered the continent but was unwilling to be bound by it.” Teresa looked at Long Yi in the garden who wore a bright smile comparable to the sunlight and said. She couldn't understand him. She knew the cruelty of the war. For the unification of the entire Blue Waves Continent, many people would have to die and blood would need to be shed. After experiencing everything, how could he still have such a bright smile?
”He has a soul that yearns the most for unfettered freedom without any restraints.” Liuli smiled gently, and her eyes blurred a little. This was her man, and he was also the man who couldn't be replaced in the hearts of her sisters.
Teresa looked at the blurred eyes of Liuli and smiled, shaking her head. She could see her own shadow from those years past in Liuli. A woman who had fallen in love was not rational, one might even say that, just like a moth darting into a flame, she knew perfectly well that she would be destroyed in the end, but she still couldn't stop flying closer.
Long Yi however didn't know what these two women were talking, he was just happily playing with Little Xingxing. Playing together with a child made his heart filled with a child's innocence. He felt as if the pureness of a child was was.h.i.+ng away his tainted soul.
”Big brother Long, you are shameless, hehe…… don't……” In the bosom of Long Yi, Little Xingxing twisted around, not letting Long Yi tickle her. Now, she was laughing so hard that her cheeks had turned bright red.
”Fine, don't you want to play, are you tired?” Long Yi smiled and stopped. Then, lying down in the midst of the garden, he looked at that clear, cloudless sky and took a deep breath. In his heart, he was thinking, if he could take all his women to a place with flowers as far as the eye could see someday, then how wonderful that would be.
Seeing Long Yi had lied down, Xingxing climbed onto him and caressing his bread stubble, she said: ”Big brother Long, will you accompany me and my mother hereafter?” She had never been so happy, because of this, she feared to lose this. She feared that big brother Long Yi who made her felt the fatherly warmth would suddenly disappear.
”Well, this big brother cannot stay here forever, but when I have to leave, I will definitely take Xingxing with me, is that okay? In this world, there are many amusing places.” Long Yi smiled and said, stroking the soft golden hair of Little Xingxing.
”Then, will my mother go too? If my mother has to live here alone, then she will be lonelier.” Little Xingxing said with expectation.
”Yes, your mother is inseparable from Xingxing and Xingxing is also inseparable from your mother, so naturally, everyone will go together.” Long Yi said with a smile.
”Big brother Long, you are so nice.” Little Xingxing cheered and kissed his face, then ran towards her mother to tell her this good news.
It had already been three days but there was no news of Midi'er and Leguxiya. This made Long Yi felt a bit restless, could it be that Dragon King noticed something? But, if that was truly the case, then how come there was not even a bit of movement?
Late at night, suddenly a clap of thunder resounded and after dark clouds condensed, there was heavy rain. The sea waves became more and more intense and the wind blew stronger and stronger. Some small trees were uprooted and sent flying.
At this moment, tired Xingxing was sleeping in the warm bosom of Long Yi with a sweet smile. In the past, she greatly feared this kind of thunderstorm weather, but now, with a warm bosom of Long Yi protecting her, she felt like that whistling fierce wind had become a lullaby.
As for Long Yi, he half lied on the bed and was pondering about the countermeasures. In any case, he couldn't wait here endlessly. He must figure out what had happened on the main island.
While Long Yi was pondering, the door of his room suddenly opened with a creak. Long Yi who had the ability to clearly see in the dark saw that it was Teresa. He was somewhat amazed in his heart. He had never thought that Teresa would run over so late at night to devote herself.
”Aren't you asleep?” Seeing the eyes of Long Yi, the heart of Teresa jumped and she asked softly.
”Is there something wrong?” Long Yi asked. Clearly, there must be a reason for Teresa to look for him so late at night.
”Don't you want to go to the main island? Tonight is the golden opportunity.” Teresa softly said.
The eyebrows of Long Yi shot up and he gently jumped off the bed, then walking out of the room with Teresa, he asked: ”Do you have a way?”
”In this kind of weather, a few thousand meters below Divine Dragon Main Island, a freshwater undercurrent would gush out, and the opening of this freshwater undercurrent is linked with a lake located at the center of the main island. But, after a period of time, this freshwater current will produce a kind of suction force and the opening would close quickly afterward. As long as you can seize that moment and jump into that suction force, you will be directly sucked into that lake of Divine Dragon Main Island. Like this, detection magic arrays of the island will not detect you all.” Teresa said.
”Really? Is there truly such a place? Merely, do Dragon King and Elders know about this?” Long Yi was pleasantly surprised.
”This method of entry and exit is useable only in thunderstorm weather, I had accidentally found this way when I went to that lake to take bath. At that time, I used this way to sneak out of Divine Dragon Archipelago and go to Divine Dragon Continent, I think no one else should know about this.” Teresa said with a smile, remembering the past.
”Then, what are we waiting for? I will go and wake them up now.” Long Yi impatiently said in fear that that undercurrent exit would close.
In the midst of heavy rain storm and strong gale, Teresa led Long Yi's group of four to the sea. And since all of them had good swimming ability, they quickly sneaked into undercurrent surge deep in the sea under the guidance of Teresa.
Sure enough, just like Teresa had said, in the depth of the sea, there was a powerful freshwater undercurrent gus.h.i.+ng out from a hole, and the seawater around that area was clear, truly was peculiar.
Not long after that, this gus.h.i.+ng out freshwater suddenly stopped for a moment, and as if it encountered a huge suction force, the water began to flow black rapidly.
