Seeing the other person's strange reaction, Aikaren turned around and looked back, then froze.
Hera, on the other hand, had already sensed the presence behind her. She turned around slowly and greeted the figure.
"Hello, Sea Shark Dragon King."
Ekaren was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of the language Hera spoke before, and he was certain that it was not a human language.
After all, he's traveled to five countries around the world and has heard of every language.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me."
A deep and authoritative voice traveled through the seawater to their ears.
A large hand reached out from the water and grabbed the wall of the cave entrance. Then, the sea dragon broke through the water and entered the cave.
The once spacious cave now appears incredibly cramped in comparison to the sea dragon.
He looked down at Hera, his imposing face seemingly carrying a hint of displeasure.
"What's wrong? Are you still upset because I beat you up before?"
"I'm not the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat." Hailong shook his head slightly.
"I just hate people who don't keep their promises."
A vein bulged on his arm; the thought of what happened back then made him furious.
"You said you would say goodbye to someone and then come back for me to take you, but you never came back."
“I waited for you in the Valley of Ten Thousand Sharks for a whole week. If it weren’t for other sea shark dragons reporting to me, I wouldn’t have known you had left.”
"What could I do? I couldn't come back to inform you about the situation at the time."
Hera spoke with such conviction that Hailong was at a loss for words.
He opened his mouth, then closed it again, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
In the end, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let bygones be bygones."
"Oh, I'm off then, bye-bye."
"Alright, you can go now."
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Wushuang dared not linger for a moment, his hands clenched in the void, and the surrounding space began to spiral and twist.
After being awkwardly stared at by Hailong for nearly a minute, the three of them finally disappeared from the spot.
Hailong glanced at the spot where they had disappeared, then turned to look at the cell where the [ground] was being held.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, he stepped back into the sea and lingered around the mountain peak, keeping watch at all times.
...
Qingshui Mansion.
"Open your mouth..."
"Ah~ Mmm, this is delicious."
Inside the huge room, a long table laden with all sorts of delicacies was occupied by nearly ten people sitting neatly in rows.
Ye Ciqing stood close to his girlfriend, opening his mouth to be fed by her, allowing the masked child next to him to experience the malice from an adult.
Looking at everyone present, without exception, they were all members who had participated in this battle.
They sat in their seats with smiles on their faces, enjoying the delicious food as if they were at a party.
Among the crowd, only Yu Liu, whose right hand was wrapped in bandages, kept his head down and did not make any movement.
Sitting in the main seat, Nan Tian immediately noticed his unusual behavior and took the initiative to ask him about it.
"Yu Liu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Liu trembled slightly, then slowly shook her head, her head bowed. "No..."
"So what's wrong with you?"
Yu Liu looked at her feet, and unconsciously clenched her hands on her lap.
“I don’t deserve to be here. I didn’t contribute a single ounce of effort to the operation to capture the [ground] forces, and I even deserted my post…”
"Don't talk about whether you're worthy or not. Besides, didn't you say that you just wanted to get your own equipment?"
"It's not your fault."
Despite what Nantian said, Yuliu kept his head down.
"Hey! Akahisa, you can't eat while lying on the table! Get down here!"
Chi Jiu suddenly climbed onto the table to gnaw on a whole roasted lamb, but Ye Ciqing shouted at him.
"don't want!"
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal and having a great time, a space above the table, where the food was rapidly disappearing, suddenly began to distort.
The next moment, three people appeared out of thin air from the distorted space and landed on the table.
The dull thud of the wood striking the ground and the clatter of the overturned plates brought everyone to a halt, and all eyes turned to the three people.
Suddenly finding himself the target of everyone's criticism, Aycaren's face flushed red instantly, and he stiffly bent over, trying his best to minimize his presence.
"Oh no, it's too far away, I'm afraid it will spill onto the whole table."
Lin Wushuang scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, then smiled at everyone.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, Lord, I'm late."
"It's alright, we just saved a seat for you, come and eat."
Nan Tian showed no sign of anger, and smiled as he pointed to the three empty seats.
Meanwhile, Hera had already started eating, causing Akaku, who was also lying on the table, to immediately guard his food.
Before Lin Wushuang could even get down, Aikaren, who could no longer bear the embarrassment, had already tiptoed under the table.
However, since the table was full of people, he would need to ask someone to make way for him if he wanted to get down.
As a seasoned socially anxious person, he usually wouldn't be able to do something like this.
But it would be even more awkward if he didn't go down, so he had no choice but to muster up his courage and climb toward Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing, whom he had only met once.
"Excuse me, please make way, thank you..."
His voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, but Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing still heard it and made way for him.
After what felt like an eternity, Aikaren finally reached the ground.
