Chapter 183 Brother, can I tell you a bedtime story?
The vast ocean.
The inky black waves surged and roared like the furious howl of an ancient beast.
The moment the sky was torn apart, a figure was swiftly pierced from the air and plunged into the sea.
"Splash—"
After the loud bang, the sea surface immediately turned a shocking red.
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stood on the sea, gripping the neck of Guan Lan, the commander of the Cangming Sea Guards. "Where is the thing?"
Guanlan lay on his back on the sea surface, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I...I don't know."
"Don't know?" Li Yuan sneered, and with a flick of his wrist, the seawater seemed to resonate with him, transforming into sharp blades that instantly pierced Guan Lan's limbs. "Last time, where is the thing?"
"...Everyone believes the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River is in the Cangming Sea, but the artifact was taken away by that person over a hundred years ago..."
Guanlan bled profusely, his pupils slowly dilating. "You thought that Cangminghai was taken from you because of someone who coveted your position... but the truth is, he didn't even deign to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan punched him into the sea.
Wen Tingyun chuckled slowly, fanning himself with his fan. "I thought my throne had been usurped, which is why I endured in the Black Abyss for over a hundred years. But when I returned, I discovered that they never even looked at you, Cangminghai." He closed his fan. "How ridiculous."
Li Yuan clenched his five fingers together, and the water dragon emerged from the sea, flying straight towards Wen Tingyun. "When did it become a cripple's place to interfere in my affairs?"
Touched on the sore spot, Wen Tingyun's fake smile vanished. "What did you say?"
Just as the two forces were about to collide again, a fire-type card appeared in front of them in an instant, and Qi Ran appeared on the flying magic weapon Zhan Li.
"Don't fight," she said gently, her voice tinged with helplessness.
Qi Ran, dressed in a long robe, almost blended into the shadows of the sea and sky. With a flick of her fair wrist, she retrieved the fire-type card. "Didn't we agree to first take control of the Cangming Sea?"
Wen Tingyun and Li Yuan both stiffened at the same time, exchanging a glance to suppress the murderous intent in their eyes.
Wen Tingyun curled his lips into a smile, "The divine artifact isn't here. What are Ranran's next plans?"
"Search. Li Yuan will stay in the Cangming Sea to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Luo Shen Book," Qi Ran gently instructed with her phoenix eyes, "You must be careful on your own."
Li Yuan's face was displeased, and his tone was as gloomy as a siren's, "You promised you would always stay with me."
Qi Ran was about to comfort her when Zhan Li sneered, "What? You've been in the Black Abyss for so long that you can't take care of yourself and need Ranran to keep you company?"
He turned his head and said, "Ranran, you promised me that you would come back to the Witch Clan with me after this Dream Realm trial."
When the Witch Clan's Tree of Life was on the verge of collapse, his causal chains were also affected, breaking and directly reducing his Nascent Soul to the Golden Core stage.
I have come here to dream of two reasons: first, for the divine artifact; and second, for the inheritance of the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn. Not only did he fail to find the artifact, but his ranking almost dropped out of the top ten.
In just a few days, the scenes in the Dream Mirror have gone viral in the cultivation world, with the most popular being the final battle between Hua Li and Xiao Chen.
And that blood-red kiss.
Zhan Li's expression was unusually complex.
Xiao Tong sensed Qi Yunzi's emotions and immediately reminded Qi Ran in his mind, "Host, Zhan Li's favorability is not right! He has been away on too many missions recently, and the long period of time he has been away from the host has caused his favorability to decline."
"Host must calm people down again and not delay important matters."
Qi Ran silently replied to Xiao Tong in her heart, her eyes immediately filled with guilt as she turned her head. "It's all my fault. I promised you I would return to the Witch Clan, but I was delayed because of these things." She sighed, "Zhan Li, I..."
Zhan Li blushed and quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, I was just saying it offhand." The boy's fingers unconsciously clenched, his knuckles turning slightly white.
Wen Tingyun, who had been silent to the side, twirled his folding fan and suddenly asked, "Are there any unfamiliar faces among the sect cultivators who entered the secret realm this time?"
Zhan Li remained silent and indifferent.
Qi Ran coaxed softly, "Zhan Li, can you help me? If you really don't want to..."
"I'm willing!" Zhan Li turned his head and said stubbornly, "I'm willing to do anything as long as it can help you."
He thought for a moment, "There were no unfamiliar faces among the people who went in, but I did see someone next to the astrologer after I came out."
The Witch Clan's pupil technique was their forte. At that time, he activated his double pupils, and although he only glanced at the person from afar, he still saw an aura on that person that was different from other cultivators.
Older, and more fragile.
Qi Ran thought for a moment after hearing this, "What does that person look like? Show his face with a water mirror, and I will use this as a medium to deduce it with a wood-type card."
With a light flick of his wrist, Feng Yi's silhouette appeared.
Qi Ran threw out the wood-type card, and a huge star map quickly rose beneath her feet.
In the center of the star map, a giant eye slowly opened, and Qi Ran stood on the pupil filled with swirling nebulae and closed her eyes.
The vortex spun as Qi Ran closed her eyes, and a moment later, a massive backlash surged forth without warning.
Qi Ran suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"slowly!"
"Aran!"
"Ranran, are you alright?"
Qi Ran didn't have time to respond; she was only shocked as she watched the portrait slowly disappear from the water mirror.
This person was clearly destined to die, so why did they deviate from their original fate?
She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
"This is already the second variable."

Huali put down her chopsticks and patted her round little belly with satisfaction.
I felt dizzy and lightheaded after eating.
Children who go to bed early and get up early are healthy. She yawned and was about to jump off the chair when four hands reached out to her at the same time.
Little Pear was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and looked at Luo Chuan, who was closest to her, with expectant eyes, "Brother, can you tell the story of The Little Mermaid?"
The familiar King Yama's roll call, though late, has finally arrived.
Luo Chuan paused for a moment, "...The matter of merfolk? I do know a little about that."
That race living in the Cangming Sea can also be considered a type of demon beast.
I never expected that Xiaohuali would be interested in them.
Thinking of the mermaid's naturally delicate and beautiful bone structure, as well as her captivating voice, a sinister glint flashed in Luo Chuan's eyes beneath his gilded mask.
However, before the gloom could dissipate, it was interrupted by the little girl's sunny voice.
"What about Snow White? What about Cinderella?"
Luo Chuan was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the two had different ideas. The great demon, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, sighed. He really was…
Huali was unaware of Luochuan's feelings. She turned to look at the other three people and asked, "Will the brothers do it too?"
The little girl was a little embarrassed. "Could the older brother who can tell stories tell Huali a bedtime story?"
Upon hearing this, the four people froze again.
Ao Bai: "!!!"
Good heavens, after all this anticipation, it's finally time for the night-time service!
