NOVPUB"According to these black dots’ position, the direction of West Sea Country should be this way..."
Wang Ba was sitting inside the large and oddly smelling belly of Fu, spreading the map in front of him.
Qin Lingxiao was also excited, disregarding her image and knelt beside the map, pointing in a certain direction.
"I think it might need to veer a bit this way."
The curious Hole-digging Otter on the side poked its head over, peeking at the map, sniffing around.
But it quickly lost interest, casually sniffing in the corners around it.
From time to time, it would pull undisgested shells from the corner, instantly using a stone from its fur to forcefully crush them.
It quickly started to eat with delight.
Its eyes curved into two lines in joy.
It looked extremely adorable.
However, Wang Ba and Qin Lingxiao had no time to watch it at the moment, instead they were seriously discussing the direction they needed to head next.
The map they had obtained from a cultivator’s temporary immortal cave in Zhongsheng Continent was somewhat crude after all.
The two could only compare the black dots and the current sea barrier to roughly find the direction forward.
But a palm-sized distance on the map, translated into reality, could be a difference of thousands of miles.
The two had some minor disagreements regarding the direction forward.
Although there was a high chance they could return to West Sea Country regardless of the direction, why take a detour if they could get back earlier.
But both were cultivators and highly trusted their own judgement, hence they were unable to reach a definitive conclusion.
Just then, the surroundings suddenly shook.
The two were unexpectedly thrown upwards and then fell down at high speed!
Even with their Foundation Establishment bodies, they were having trouble stabilizing in face of this sudden shake!
"Yaw!"
During the vigorous jolt, the Hole-digging Otter was shook into a mess. In the chaos, it grabbed Wang Ba’s thigh and held on tightly, without daring to let go.
Fortunately, the shaking gradually eased after a short while and Wang Ba and Qin Lingxiao promptly stood firm.
"What just happened?!"
Qin Lingxiao’s hair was dishevelled and her face filled with shock.
Wang Ba’s expression momentarily changed, the image of Ci Wu emerged in his mind.
"Was it an Immortal Ascension of Jin that made the move?"
The first thought that jumped into Wang Ba’s mind was this.
After all, the impression that Ci Wu gave him was something even Master Yao Wudi couldn’t reach, clearly an existence at the Immortal Ascension stage.
Those who could fight him were probably cultivators at the same stage.
Realizing this, Wang Ba’s face couldn’t help but darken, he immediately urged, "Fu, faster!"
And gave a direction.
"Hiss!"
From the dull chamber came Fu’s responding sound.
Qin Lingxiao no longer disputed the direction with Wang Ba.
She also realized that something must have happened nearby. So whether the direction was correct or not was no longer important. What mattered most now was leaving this area as soon as possible.
The two, for the time being, lost interest in discussing the direction, former lively mood was now calm, and Wang Ba promptly started cultivating.
Seeing that Wang Ba directly closed his eyes and started cultivating, Qin Lingxiao clenched her teeth, immediately closed her eyes in annoyance and began to tidy up her Dantian again.
In the heart-throbbing silence, Fu was speeding through the deep sea.
It was not known how long it swam.
The two cultivators who were in the midst of their cultivation were suddenly awakened by Fu’s low whimpering sound.
Opening his eyes, Wang Ba saw the Hole-digging Otter holding a shell, trying to crack it open on the fleshy wall inside Fu.
With its actions, Fu’s low hooting was incessant.
Wang Ba understood instantly, immediately raised his hand to catch the Hole-digging Otter in his grasp.
Fu’s hooting abruptly ended.
The Hole-digging Otter, whose neck was pinched, turned its head to look at Wang Ba with both hands still holding the shell and a puzzled look on its face.
Then, as though realizing something, it struggled to jump down, hugged Wang Ba tightly, stretched out one small hand towards Wang Ba, a pitiful look on its face:
"Yaw--"
Qin Lingxiao, who was standing aside, understood its intentions and couldn’t help laughing:
"Wang Ba, it is begging you for spirit food!"
Wang Ba suddenly remembered that he had promised the Hole-digging Otter to feed it chicken essence after crossing the sea barrier, and he hasn’t fulfilled that promise yet.
He is not the sort of person to break his promises, but taking into consideration that Fu swam for so long, after thinking for a bit, he took a little chicken essence from his Storage Treasure and fed it to the Hole-digging Otter. Then he suggested to Qin Lingxiao, "Should we go out and see where we are now?"
Qin Lingxiao naturally wouldn’t refuse. Besides, she was feeling suffocated and the smell was unpleasant.
"Alright."
The two immediately stopped Fu and flew out.
After eating the chicken essence and licking its fingers clean, the Hole-digging Otter saw the two leaving and followed them with a ’yaw’ and a bounce.
Swish.
Fu broke the water surface, opened its mouth.
Immediately, two figures flew out.
They were Wang Ba and Qin Lingxiao.
On Wang Ba’s leg, was the Hole-digging Otter.
Perhaps due to the chicken essence, the Hole-digging Otter cling to Wang Ba.
Making Qin Lingxiao extremely envious.
The two of them only noticed that although the sky was still a bit gloomy, it was noticeably brighter than the previous sea area.
Perhaps because of the weather, their moods also lifted.
The sea wind was mild, blowing on them.
Their robes slightly swaying, added an air of elegance. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
