On an island, at the Frenzied Shark Pirates' camp...
"What did you say? The Thirteenth Shark's fleet lost contact!?" a disgruntled middle-aged man with facial wounds shouted when there was a report that the Thirteenth Shark's fleet was out of contact.
"Yes, deputy. We've tried to contact the Thirteenth Squad leader, but no one has called back."
"Huh! That guy may be on a mission, so he's still not contacted back. I think you don't have to think too much about it; it's so normal," suddenly, a woman with a beautiful figure spoke out with intense psychic killing and a contemptuous expression on her face.
"It might be what you said, seventh squad leader. But in a few days, it'll be assembly day, so I need to summon all of you guys back," although he knew what kind of person the thirteenth squad leader was, the middle-aged man still seemed worried.
A week had passed...
It was now a week after the Frenzied Shark Pirates had been mysteriously destroyed. Zheng-Fu and Hai-Dong finally arrived at Reversed Stream Port City. Total travel time was two weeks, which was much faster than usual.
If it were other ships, they would have taken at least a month to arrive at Reversed Stream Port City. Fortunately, Hai-Dong's ship had the speed-accelerating spell pattern inscribed, so it moved faster than other ships.
"Well, brother, we've arrived at Reversed Stream Port City. Let's get off the boat."
"Is this the Reversed Stream Port City!?"
Zheng-Fu was no less amazed by the beauty of the scenery surrounding this Reversed Stream Port City, which had beautiful mountains and beaches all around. As for the sea itself, its color was bluish-green, and it looked like emerald water.
When Zheng-Fu got off the ship, he found that the port did not have many ships, but each of them was big and very luxurious. Some of them were adorned with strange flags, but the one that caught his eye most was a large boat decorated with various beautiful plants that moored not far from Hai-Dong's ship.
"That's Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao's boat. She is a major disciple of my Artsy Water Sect," Hai-Dong explained to Zheng-Fu immediately when he saw Zheng-Fu's curious eyes looking at the ship.
Liang-Ji-Xiao!?
"Um... Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao is both beautiful and talented, and even more genius at magic spells than me. However, she is a hot-tempered one. Whoever speaks offensively against her will be dealt with immediately," Hai-Dong said with a sad expression on his face as he thought of her temperament.
"Is that so? Anyway, do you like her?" Zheng-Fu nodded in understanding as he questioned Hai-Dong about his feelings for her.
"No way!!! Brother, don't say that in front of her. Otherwise, she may..."
"What will I do!?" Suddenly, a high-pitched but beautiful voice sounded from behind Zheng-Fu and Hai-Dong.
When Hai-Dong heard those words, he immediately turned around to see who the owner of the voice was, and his face suddenly turned pale and panicked, "Se... Senior... Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao!?" He took a few steps back.
Huh...?
As for Zheng-Fu, he did not step back or show a shocked expression; he just stood there with his brain thinking about something. The young woman's face made him feel very familiar as if he had met her before, just could not remember where.
"I asked what I might do to you if I heard what you guys said?" the young woman continued to question Hai-Dong one more time, ignoring Zheng-Fu.
"We... we... we... we didn't mention you at all, Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao," Hai-Dong immediately excused himself.
"Tch!!! Dare to lie to Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao? So cocky! Hai-Dong, even if you're a genius inner disciple, you shouldn't be challenging a major disciple like Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao, you know! So, I'll be the one to teach you what's right and what's wrong!" Suddenly, a young man standing next to the young woman, Liang-Ji-Xiao, spoke up with an arrogant expression, staring at Hai-Dong.
"I said no, so it's no. Why should we lie? Besides, you're just an ordinary disciple of the sect. How dare you talk to me like this?" Hai-Dong was also someone who would not tolerate anyone. If they insulted and disrespected him, he would also not honor that person.
"You!!!"
The young man's ears almost exploded in anger as soon as he heard Hai-Dong's words. But Hai-Dong's words were true. He was a genius disciple, while the young man was just an ordinary disciple but dared to raise his voice against him.
"Well said, Junior Hai-Dong! What if it was you and me?" the young woman, Liang-Ji-Xiao, suddenly spoke up with a cold expression, looking at Hai-Dong.
"Of course, you and I are in different classes. But soon, I'll be a prime disciple, so you and I are different only now!" Even though being pressured by the young woman's words, Hai-Dong was not afraid at all and even retorted back.
Tsk!!!
"The future is the future! But at present, you're still an inner sect disciple, so my words are always right, and you must obey!" The young woman, Liang-Ji-Xiao, began to speak impulsively, using her power to threaten Hai-Dong.
The surrounding people, whether villagers or disciples from the sect, all hung their heads, not wanting to be involved. Only Zheng-Fu remained calm and still as before.
'This young woman's character is still as rough as ever!' Zheng-Fu thought to himself about the young woman in front of him whom he had met once when she had brought people to his clan to take him to her sect. But she could not remember Zheng-Fu, so she did not pay attention to him.
"You thought you would threaten me with your position?" Hai-Dong frowned as he spoke in displeasure.
"If so, then what would you do?" the young woman was not giving up as well.
"Brother, this tigress is your senior!?"
Huh...?
Tigress?
Zheng-Fu's voice suddenly sounded after he had stood silent for a long time. His question caused the surrounding people to widen their eyes in shock and freeze, especially the young woman, allegedly the tigress.
"This is bad! Brother, just now you said..."
"What did you just say? You bastard kid!?" But before Hai-Dong could finish speaking, the young woman's fierce and furious voice had rung out as a wave of energy was released.
"That kid must be in trouble for daring to talk like that to her."
"Yes, if not caught and thrown into the sea for monster beasts to eat, he would have been sealed for the rest of his life!"
"How pitiful that he said that."
Voices rang, the topic was about Zheng-Fu's destiny after his words slipped away, as the owners of voices saw that the young woman was about to deal with him for his words.
"Kid? Miss, you and I aren't that far apart in age, so the word 'kid' is a bit too much!?" Zheng-Fu heard the people around him talking, but he did not care. However, the young woman in front of him could not do anything to him anymore, so he retorted with a displeased look at her words.
"Fatuous!!! You're longing for death!" the previously pretentious young man spoke up, spitefully releasing his psychic killing at Zheng-Fu. He was unable to do anything to Hai-Dong, so he thought he would do it to Zheng-Fu instead. But as a result, nothing happened at all.
"No! Im... Impossible!"
Seeing that Zheng-Fu was not affected by his psychic killing, his expression instantly became stunned.
"What did you say? I'm longing for death? Are you crazy? Who wants to die? Or do you want to?"
Swoooooosh!!!
Argh!!!
As Zheng-Fu finished speaking, an even more eerie and violent psychic killing was suddenly released that only the young man could touch. And when he came into contact with Zheng-Fu's psychic killing, his body trembled with a pale face before spewing out a mouthful of blood.
Huh...?
"Wha... what... what happened!?"
The sight of this incident caused everyone around them to be shocked and dazed because the young man suddenly changed his expression and spat blood while still looking normal.
"What did you do to him!?" the young woman, Liang-Ji-Xiao, immediately turned to Zheng-Fu and asked after coming to her senses.
"What am I doing? I'm not doing anything yet. Besides, I'm just one of those unlucky people. How could I have the power to do something to him, you tigress!!?" Zheng-Fu immediately replied to the young woman while mocking her, which made her feel a lot of anger.
"You!!!"
Hai-Dong was still in a stupor and could not regain his senses at all because the incident had happened so quickly. It was so fast that his brain could not keep up with it. Plus, how his brother, Zheng-Fu, who he thought was always modest, dared to say this confused him.
"Brother, what are you doing? Why do you say such a thing?" Hai-Dong asked suspiciously at Zheng-Fu's change.
"It's nothing, brother. It's just that I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, am thinking about the old story when I was at my house. Coincidentally, the events back then and now are very similar to me..."
"Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu?!"
"What did you just say!? What's your name?" As soon as the young woman, Liang-Ji-Xiao, heard Zheng-Fu's name, her face suddenly changed from anger to shock and panic.
"My name's Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu. Do you hear that? My name is Tian… Tang… Zheng... Fu!!!"
"You!!! It's you!?" The young woman's expression was utterly shocked when she found out who Zheng-Fu was, as the memories of that moment flashed again in her head.
"Who is he, Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao!?" the junior disciples following her asked curiously when they saw the young woman's expression as if she had known Zheng-Fu before.
Even Hai-Dong wanted to know exactly what was going on. Did the two of them know each other before? "Brother, you know Senior Liang-Ji-Xiao, right?" Hai-Dong asked with a puzzled expression.
"No, big brother... How could someone like me meet this senior of yours? It's probably more of a misunderstanding. Maybe my face is so ordinary that she remembers it wrong?" Zheng-Fu denied it with a provocative smile on his face.
"No..., it's really you!!!"
