Chapter 366: Destroying the Source

Xiyuan bandaged his injured arm and came out.

"Sister Xia, are you okay?"

Xia Yueke came back to her senses and looked at Xiyuan's face, which was even paler than before. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Xiyuan, I'm so grateful to you for what happened before. Thank you!"

Xi Yuan's eyes watered when she heard this. "It's okay. It's all my responsibility. We didn't take proper precautions. I thought Sister Xia would be angry and ignore us."

Xiyuan lowered his head in shame.

Xia Yueke quickly comforted them, "How can you be blamed for this? You just don't know. You thought the guardian was a giant sea beast. At least we can contend with it, but this time the enemy is not even a human. This is a situation that no one wants to see. Besides, your mermaid tribe also sacrificed two orcs. Sigh..."

After saying that, Xia Yuke asked Xiyuan to leave. She just wanted to be alone.

The house Xiyuan found for them was very good. Although it was not as magnificent as a palace, it was also a warm home.

The house is constructed from a giant scallop shell, its surface delicately patterned and pearlescent in the dim light. The opening is the entrance, and a circle of luminous fish provides both illumination and protection.

Inside, the circular living room features a white coral stone floor, a central sea urchin shell coffee table, and seagrass chairs. The living space is divided by translucent jellyfish membranes, and the seaweed bed is dotted with luminescent gems, while the fluorescent jellyfish chandelier casts soft, shifting light.

On the other side is the "kitchen", which has containers of conch and coral, and luminous plants along the wall to purify the air.

The transparent crystal on the top of the shell allows you to see the wonders of the seabed, including schools of fish swimming, turtles swimming, and corals swaying.

If Long Xiaoyu hadn't gotten into trouble, Xia Yue would definitely be happy to play here, but now she couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

Xia Yueke lay on the huge seaweed bed and fell asleep, sleeping for the entire day.

When she wanted to ask about Long Xiaoyu's situation, she heard a commotion outside.

Xia Yue might have jumped up from the bed. Could it be that Long Xiaoyu had returned?

Xia Yueke didn't care about anything else and hurried out of her room. Sure enough, all the mermaids outside were in chaos, as if something big had happened.

Xia Yueke casually grabbed the tail of a mermaid.

The mermaid was in pain. "Wow, are you being polite?"

Xia Yuekeke ignored all this and looked at him with burning eyes, "What happened to you? Is Long Xiaoyu back?"

The mermaid was about to say something to express her displeasure, but when she saw Xiyuan's guests, she could only swallow her anger. "I don't know. I heard from others that someone did come back. It's the two orcs who performed the fish burial yesterday. They suddenly showed up again today!"

The mermaid continued to curse, "Damn it! I shouldn't have given so much food as tribute yesterday. Now they're back, and I can't eat all that food!"

Xia Yueke was stunned. What? The two mermaids who were caught in the whirlpool came back?

Could it be that Long Xiaoyu is back too?

Xia Yue didn't care about anything else and quickly ran towards the lively place over there.

But before she could get close, a figure came over quickly and hugged her.

"Coco, I'm sorry I made you worry."

"Long Xiaoyu?"

"Um."

Xia Yueke confirmed it was him and immediately slapped him on the back, "Long Xiaoyu, you bastard, do you know how worried I am about you? And you did this all of a sudden! Why did you go back? Huh?"

Xia Yueke cried until tears started to fall.

At this time, Qi Anluo Cihe and others also surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.

Luo Cihe said sarcastically: "Oh, some people still remember to come back. I thought they were away doing something else, and made our Keke worry to death!"

Qi An also agreed, "It wasn't like this before. Do you think you're so great that you want to be a hero? Are you leaving a mess behind for others to clean up?"

Obviously, they were all very angry and wanted to ask why Long Xiaoyu suddenly behaved like that. They had never seen any righteousness in Long Xiaoyu before.

Long Xiaoyu was fine, except that his face was a little pale. In the past, he would have retorted, but this time he knew he was wrong and did not tell them first, causing them to worry in vain, especially Keke. Lang Ce said that he almost couldn't hold her back yesterday and she had to go over to save him.

Long Xiaoyu felt warm in his heart after hearing this, but before he could warm up, Xia Yueke punched him.

"Come on, tell me why you did this? I know you're not impulsive. You must have your reasons for doing this, right?"

Xia Yueke looked at Long Xiaoyu eagerly, wanting to see the answer from his eyes.

Only then did Long Xiaoyu become more serious. He looked at the other people present and stayed on Qian Jingyao for a moment longer.

"When I heard what the mermaid leader said yesterday, I suddenly remembered something."

Long Xiaoyu glanced at the crowd, his face serious. "Do you remember when I turned into a dragon egg? When I was advancing to the twelfth level, I couldn't survive the thunderbolt, so I had to turn into a dragon egg and escape."

"I'm trying so hard to break through to the twelfth level because when I was little, my father was also about to break through to the twelfth level, but he disappeared after breaking through."

Xia Yueke widened her eyes, "Disappeared?"

Long Xiaoyu nodded and continued, "The mother beast and I have searched everywhere but have not found him. Although our dragon clan is not prosperous, our abilities are very strong. Even when everyone else went out, we found that there was no trace of my father beast in this world."

"But a month later, he reappeared and took my female beast away. I don't know what he said to my female beast's other companions, but they began to practice desperately, hoping to break through the twelfth level. The father beast also told me that when I grow up, I must not slack off and must break through the twelfth level. The female beast was reluctant to let me go, but the father beast said that if I didn't go with him, there would be no chance. With my female beast's strength, it was impossible to break through the twelfth level."

Xia Yueke was shocked. "So your father and mother disappeared since then?"

Qian Jingyao frowned, "What about your other companions?"

"Of the nine companions, two became twelfth-level beastmen. After their breakthrough, they disappeared like my father. The other father seemed to know that he couldn't become a twelfth-level beastman, so he began to focus on taking care of me and my other brothers. I also have two older brothers, but they rarely appear."

Qi An clenched his fists and asked, "Do you mean there is more than one Orc continent?"

"perhaps……"

"Perhaps there are other continents or other worlds unknown to us?"

Xia Yueke swallowed her saliva when she heard this. No way? This is too fantastical. Could it be that after reaching level 12, she could still enter the human world? It can't be that simple, right?

"By the way, have your other two ascended father beasts returned? Or have they reappeared after a month?"
