Splash! Splash! A splash of water erupted on the distant sea. Luna, who was pulling her little car through the water, was taken aback by the sudden noise.
"What's that sound?" Luna asked herself in confusion, then quickly turned her head to look at the source of the sound. She saw a yacht, which looked neither too big nor too small, rushing straight towards her at an extremely high speed, as if it had lost control.
"Oh my god!" In a panic, Luna instantly dove into the sea, barely avoiding the impact. However, her small cart full of goods was not so lucky. It was hit hard by the yacht and instantly shattered into pieces. The goods on the cart scattered into the sea like raindrops and slowly sank to the bottom.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! My God!" Luna screamed as she watched the scene unfold. Those merchandise items were treasures she had painstakingly collected to decorate her shop and attract customers, and now they had vanished in the blink of an eye.
She screamed in anguish, "It wasn't easy for me! I finally saved up enough money to buy these goods, planning to run my business properly, and now it's all gone! Waaaaah..."
Luna was immersed in memories and grief, her thoughts returning to the hardships of her independent life over the years. Since her people disappeared, she had been forced to live independently, running around every day just to gain a foothold in the low-level seas and make a living.
Every item she had painstakingly accumulated was a symbol of her struggle to survive, but now it was all destroyed—a blow she couldn't bear. Tears silently streamed down her face, mingling with the seawater and reflecting her inner loneliness and struggle.
She also wanted to go and find her people, especially that despicable human, but unfortunately a few years ago, when she was moving forward with the contract sense, the contract sense suddenly disappeared, and since then, she has never been able to find her people again.
She was so immersed in deep sorrow that she completely ignored the contractual connection between herself and Chen Ping. If she could concentrate on sensing the power of the contract at this moment, she would have noticed that the strong connection was within a few meters, almost within reach.
However, at this moment, Luna was so overwhelmed by the pain of losing everything that she was temporarily unable to perceive this crucial connection.
......
(⊙o⊙)…
Chen Ping stood awkwardly on the deck, looking at Luna who was crying bitterly. He had initially spared some attention for the outside world, but since he thought seven or eight hours was quite a long time, he planned to pay attention again after five or six hours.
As a result, I got a little too engrossed in watching, which led to this tragedy. Fortunately, Luna herself was unharmed. It was just some merchandise, nothing particularly good; the best item was only epic-level.
"Oh, um, Luna! Are you alright?"
Chen Ping asked awkwardly.
With tears welling in her eyes, Luna paused upon hearing Chen Ping's call, then sobbed as she looked up, her tear-filled eyes revealing confusion and bewilderment. Although her face was pale from crying, her pitiful appearance only made her more heartbreaking. She looked at Chen Ping, trying to make out the person before her through her tears.
Luna tried her best to hold back her tears, and her eyes gradually regained their clarity. When she saw Chen Ping standing on the yacht, a shy blush rose on her cheeks.
She stared at Chen Ping, wondering whether she should throw this culprit into the sea, since he had not only witnessed her disheveled state but had also directly caused all of this.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she should do it. After all, this bastard not only saw her embarrassing state, but was also the main factor that caused her to lose face!
However, as her anger subsided, Luna began to scrutinize Chen Ping's face more closely. A wave of doubt washed over her. The more she looked, the more familiar the face seemed. A vague figure in her memory seemed to overlap with this one, but she couldn't quite place the exact source.
The past few years had made Luna's memories somewhat hazy, and she didn't immediately realize through the contract that the person in front of her was the one who had led her people away.
The harder Luna tried to recall, the more familiar Chen Ping's face seemed. Her slender fingers occasionally caressed her smooth chin, lightly touching her pink lips, attempting to awaken that long-buried memory.
Blinking, Luna finally shook her head gently. Despite racking her brains, she still couldn't recall Chen Ping's identity. She guessed that perhaps she had only seen him from afar at some event, or perhaps her memory was playing tricks on her. In any case, Luna was filled with mixed emotions, and complex thoughts churned within her.
......
Chen Ping looked at Luna with a puzzled expression. Seeing her sometimes confused, sometimes shaking her head, and sometimes nodding, he was completely baffled and couldn't understand what she was thinking at all.
Chen Ping: "Luna, are you out of your mind?"
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Luna's forehead creased with a few black lines. Her face darkened as she said, "Stupid? You're the stupid one! Hmm? Wait, how do you know my name?"
Luna looked at Chen Ping with suspicion. You see, only her tribesmen knew her real name. Outside, she used a pseudonym or simply called herself a traveling merchant.
This problem is simple for Chen Ping. After signing the contract, Chen Ping can sense the contract connection to know the name. But under normal circumstances, there is no need for this method. If he doesn't know, he can just ask, right?
Chen Ping: "Hey, Luna, you've forgotten about me so quickly? You know, you're the one who sold me the Mermaid Clan Contract Scroll."
Upon hearing this, Luna's eyes widened instantly. The mention of the contract scroll immediately brought back memories for her. Although these past few days had been very difficult for her, it was precisely because of this that she still harbored resentment over the sale of the contract scroll.
"Ah! It's you, you bastard!"
Luna cursed under her breath, her little hand unconsciously rubbing her buttocks. She had already remembered it, and this time, she subconsciously rubbed her buttocks with her hand. The memory of that incident made her feel a slight pain in her buttocks.
Watching her subtle movements, Chen Ping looked at her with a tempting expression, shook his head, and said, "What do you mean by 'bastard'? I don't think I've ever done anything bad to you, have I? Explain yourself, or I'll sue you for defamation."
Luna: "Damn it! Forget it, I'm not talking to you about this. My people? Why can't I sense them anymore?"
Chen Ping: "Oh, An Lula and the others are on the Heart of the Divine Island now, the island you saw when you came here. I created an inland sea for them to live in. I came here specifically to find you and bring them back."
