Moreover, with the birth of her nascent soul, Tang Yue's perception of the surrounding world underwent a dramatic change. Her divine sense, like an invisible net, rapidly spread outwards. Originally, she could only perceive things within a fifty-mile radius, but now she could easily cover a hundred-kilometer range.
Tang Yue raised her right hand and gently clenched her fist. Instantly, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from her hand. The surrounding air hissed under the influence of this spiritual pressure, as if being torn apart by an invisible force.
Tang Yue smiled. If she were to encounter the same power she had just wielded in Guanqi County again, it would likely be a matter of a mere wave of her hand. However, at the same time, Tang Yue had a vague feeling; she seemed to sense a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
She herself was not a person who enjoyed killing, but the Miyazaki family had committed many sins, persecuting so many Chinese people. If Tang Yue were to let them off easily, she simply could not get past her own conscience.
Therefore, even if it caused some trouble, Tang Yue would not tolerate those people. She could have easily returned to the boat in a few steps, but Tang Yue didn't. She sat back in the small boat, gently channeling her spiritual energy, and the boat shot off like an arrow.
Tang Yue nearly lost her balance and fell into the sea. After regaining her footing, she was overjoyed, never expecting the difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage to be so vast. This meant she could finally try practicing all the cultivation techniques she knew.
Soon Tang Yue spotted the cruise ship on the sea, and she could see the worried faces on the deck.
Gu Yanxi stood at the front. Something unusual seemed to have happened at sea just now. However, he did not hear any gunshots or explosions, nor did he feel any magnetic influence. But he had a feeling that something big had happened.
Not only him, but even these Chinese who had just come up from underground felt the difference in their surroundings.
"Sir, what happened?" Wen Quan was carried out by several people, his face filled with worry and fear. Could they have died at sea? They had finally been rescued by their benefactor, and they were finally about to return to the land that nurtured them. Could it be...?
Is it impossible to go back?
Wait a minute! My benefactor? Where is my benefactor?
Wen Quan was a little anxious. Their benefactor had boarded the ship with them, but now that something had happened outside, why hadn't they seen their benefactor?
Gu Yanxi understood these people's emotions, and they were genuinely worried about Tang Yue. "Don't worry, she'll be back soon."
Wen Quan and the others were somewhat skeptical, but since they were not familiar with the man in front of them, they dared not show it too much. However, the worry on their faces was not fake at all.
An old man finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Sir, my benefactor, are you really alright?"
Tang Yue heard their conversation from afar, and a smile spread across her face. These people have endured so much suffering, yet their humanity hasn't been extinguished; that's truly admirable.
"I'm back."
Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone on the cruise ship heard Tang Yue's voice clearly. They immediately looked in the direction of the sound and couldn't look away.
When Tang Yue first advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the impact of spiritual energy had removed the disguise from her face. At this moment, Tang Yue overlooked this fact. Gu Yanxi had seen Tang Yue's appearance before, but now he also felt that this little girl had become different again.
How should I put it? When I first met her on the train, the little girl had a pair of bright, lively eyes, but she looked withered and sallow. Although she had vitality, she was very thin.
When Duanqi first saw her, the little girl had completely transformed. She was radiant and full of spirit. But now, seeing her again, Gu Yanxi felt that the little person before him was somewhat ethereal—yes, that ethereal feeling.
It seems untouchable! Yes, it has a feeling of being out of reach.
Tang Yue had already boarded the ship, but the others were still in a daze. It was Tang Yue who broke the silence first.
"Why are you all out here?"
Wen Quan was startled awake by Tang Yue's voice and immediately stared at the small figure in front of him. "Who are you? My benefactor?"
Tang Yue finally realized something was off about these people, and she immediately thought of her own face. However, she wasn't upset; these were all her fellow countrymen. "I apologize, everyone. We're in a foreign country, so we had to conceal our identities. Please forgive us!"
"No, no, no, that's not necessary."
"Yes, yes, my benefactor, no need."
"Yes, yes, you're too kind, benefactor. It's really beautiful!"
......
A murmur immediately arose from the crowd, and upon closer listening, almost everyone was praising Tang Yue's appearance. Tang Yue felt somewhat helpless, but she couldn't very well pull off the face-changing act in front of them, so she could only try to appease them.
"Everyone, hurry back to your cabins and rest. You all need to take good care of yourselves."
Everyone was touched that their benefactor was so concerned about their health, and they all agreed, hurrying towards the cabin, automatically ignoring the unusual events that had just occurred at sea. Only after everyone had left did Gu Yanxi ask, "What happened just now? Were you in any danger?"
He was initially quite worried, but seeing Tang Yue's current state, he knew that the girl seemed to have received some kind of opportunity. Although they weren't allowed to talk about it now, they both knew what was going on.
Tang Yue nodded. "It's okay, I'm fine. Aren't you going to rest?"
Gu Yanxi looked ahead. "No. Shall we cross the Erdu Strait ahead, or take a detour?"
"detour?"
Gu Yanxi turned to look at her, "Haven't you heard of it?"
"What?"
Gu Yanxi understood that Tang Yue had genuinely never heard of it. "The Erdu Strait is often inhabited by pirates, and there are several small islands around it. Those pirates probably live on those islands. They might come out at any time to rob passing ships."
