"Of course... if we win, it's fine. But if we lose..."
Yun Yang's voice grew increasingly subdued.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The sea breeze caressed the faces of the two boys, and their expressions revealed the solemnity of an old man.
[The Divine Punishment Tournament] - everyone is happy if you win.
If we lose, it's the end of the world!
No one can defeat the Ancestor of Humanity or the Little Boat; even Zheng Hao isn't confident of victory. This is why Zheng Hao has been distracted these past few days.
He dared not gamble, much less risk everyone's happiness on his shoulders.
Just moments ago, Yang Fan was dreaming about his future life, the residents of [Shanhaiyu] were enthusiastically building the racetrack, and the [Zhengjia] family was still basking in the joy of winning the championship...
He could only bear this oppressive feeling alone.
"Uncle, we've already sent people to talk to Yan Rou about it..."
"It's not a big problem..."
"Zheng Hao...do you think we can win?"
Yun Yang had watched the recording of Ye Han's battle against the [Human Ancestor].
He couldn't even compare to Ye Han, and the thought of facing the [Ancestor of Humanity] filled him with trepidation.
"anyway..."
"We can't lose..."
Zheng Hao did not answer the question directly, but silently clenched his fist.
Directly ahead, from the sea, Mo Liangji's incessant complaints could still be heard, his carefree shouts echoing. The sea breeze blew, but the seriousness on Zheng and Hao's faces remained unchanged...
......
late at night.
Inside the bedroom of Zheng Hao in the Zheng family home.
After covering the flushed-faced [Shattered Star] with a blanket, Zheng Hao left the room alone.
In the stillness of the night, he leaned against the stern railing of the Zheng family's merchant ship, gazing at the deep blue sea, lost in memories.
To be honest, as a time traveler, he didn't really have any attachment to this place.
Can...
Because of his encounter with Mo Yurou and all sorts of "boat girls," Zheng Hao gradually accepted and came to like this world.
He simply couldn't accept watching the world be destroyed, or seeing the people and things he loved perish.
"Why..."
"What's going on?"
He grumbled, and then a series of footsteps sounded behind him.
"Um?"
Zheng Hao turned around and was shocked: "[Shattered Star]?!"
Under the moonlight, [Shattered Star]'s long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her dark pupils fixed on Zheng Hao, her gaze drifting towards the deck area: "Zheng Hao... do you still remember the day we made our pact?"
"Was it here back then?"
A gentle, familiar voice came from behind him, and Zheng Hao's eyes softened as well: "Of course I remember! Yu Rou, I told you back then that you were the [Boat Girl] I most wanted to contract."
"That was then...and that is now..."
"I know--"
Yu Rou's cheeks flushed. She walked towards Zheng Hao and gently hugged his back: "I don't know what you've been anxious about these past few days..."
"However, I can tell you this: no matter what, I've always believed in you..."
"Just like back then, when you trusted me."
The warm breath enveloped his back, and Zheng Hao's body trembled. He felt inexplicably more at ease: "Even if... the result is not satisfactory?"
"right!"
Even if the outcome isn't what we hoped for, as long as we're together, that's enough...
Don't worry...
"I will not let you down!"
The gentle breeze, the bright moon, and the people remain the same.
The boy turned around and made a new promise to the girl...
