A helpless smile appeared on Lu Jingzhi's face, and then he turned his gaze to Tang Qianqian who had been silent.
"Qianqian, I'll arrange for someone to take you home safely later."
Tang Qianqian raised her head slightly, "I...I suddenly changed my mind and don't want to go back."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi looked puzzled and asked, "So what are your plans now?"
"I want to go to Fishman Island with you."
Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "You're going too, isn't that bad?"
Seeing this, Luo Xue, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and took Tang Qianqian's arm. She turned to Lu Jingzhi and said, "Jingzhi, aren't we going this time just to keep Keke company? Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person?"
Lu Jingzhi frowned and explained, "But I'm not going on this trip to have fun."
Unexpectedly, Luo Xue didn't listen to his explanation at all. She put her hands on her hips, stretched her neck and continued to refute: "Who said we were going out to play? We were also going there to accompany Keke!"
"Just think about it, Coco is all alone on Fishman Island, unfamiliar with the place and without any friends. How lonely must she be..."
In this way, Luo Xue kept talking about various reasons, and Lu Jingzhi could only listen to her nagging helplessly.
Finally, unable to bear Luo Xue's constant nagging, Lu Jingzhi had no choice but to wave his hand and compromise: "Alright, alright, alright... Since you want to go so much, let's go together."
Inside the ice cellar, the cold was overwhelming, and the biting air seemed to be able to freeze one's soul.
Mu Jin walked into the room deep in the ice cellar with heavy steps, and every step was as difficult as walking on the edge of a knife.
When she finally arrived at the room where Lu Cheng's body was placed, the scene before her made her heart sink into the bottomless abyss in an instant.
Lu Cheng's body was tightly sealed by thick ice, like a cold sculpture.
His face had now turned pale and lifeless, and his slightly rotten skin was even more shocking, exposed nakedly in front of Mu Jin's eyes.
Tears blurred Mu Jin's vision. She murmured to herself with trembling lips, "Lu Cheng, if I had known this would happen, I would not have left with my father..."
Before she finished speaking, she could no longer suppress the sadness that surged in her heart.
My nose felt sore and crystal tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
It hit the hard and cold ice, splashing out tiny tears.
The Lu family member who had been standing by looked at the grief-stricken Mu Jin and asked softly, "Madam, should we move the old patriarch out?"
Mu Jin suppressed his heartache and nodded, saying in a hoarse voice, "Okay, move carefully."
So, the two of them carefully lifted Lu Cheng's body, fearing that any carelessness would cause him more harm.
After some effort, Lu Cheng's body was finally moved out of the ice cellar and finally placed in Fang Zhou's room.
At this time, the others also became busy and began to pack their luggage, making final preparations for the upcoming journey to Fishman Island.
Lu Jingzhi walked up to the Second Elder and said, "Uncle San, I'll leave all the family affairs to you."
The Second Elder patted Lu Jingzhi on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Jingzhi, I will do my best to protect our Lu family."
After hearing these words, Lu Jingzhi felt a little comforted, then turned and walked towards Fang Zhou.
Lu Jingzhi jumped lightly and landed steadily on the Ark.
With a rumble, the Ark slowly started moving, carrying everyone towards the distant Fishman Island, gradually moving further away...
After flying for about half an hour, the Ark appeared in Xuanhai City.
Along the way, Gu Keke's mood was always as depressed as if it was shrouded in dark clouds.
Her eyes had lost their former luster and she just stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
Lu Jingzhi, who was standing aside, quietly gazed at the familiar scenery in front of him.
The various scenes of coming here by boat with Yan An involuntarily emerged in my mind.
At that time, they were full of hope and longing, but now they are revisiting the old place.
A faint melancholy quietly grew in the depths of his heart.
"Coco, let me get you some sea water. Maybe it will be better for your health."
Lu Jingzhi looked at Gu Keke, who was sitting at the head of the bed with a gloomy expression, and said softly.
Hearing this, Gu Keke, who had been silent, raised her head slightly and said, "Okay, thank you, brother."
After getting Gu Keke's response, Lu Jingzhi stood up and reached out to open the door.
But at this moment, a scream of "Ouch!" was heard.
Lu Jingzhi unconsciously looked down and saw a pretty figure squatting on the ground, covering her nose and mumbling to herself.
"Hiss~ It hurts so much!"
Looking closely, it turned out to be Luo Xue.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Luo Xue snorted lightly upon hearing this, then complained in a somewhat annoyed tone, "You're too hard, you hit my nose and it hurts!"
After a brief pause, she continued, "By the way, is Coco in there?"
"I want to take her out to breathe some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful sea view."
"Wait a moment."
Lu Jingzhi replied simply, then took out a bathtub from his storage ring, jumped in without hesitation, and landed steadily on the calm sea.
The endless sea surface is sparkling with light under the reflection of the bright sunshine.
