My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 392: Long Qingyan Arrives at the South Sea!
 

The ship Xi prepared wasn’t very large—just a typical nearshore fishing boat for the Merfolk.

The hull was slender and streamlined, suitable for maneuvering nimbly through complex sea regions.

For Gu Xing, Aliya, Grandpa Turtle, as well as Liu Li, Vera, and Snow Woman, the space was already sufficient.

However…

Due to terrifying rumors about the South Sea that had long spread throughout the coastal city, no sailors were willing to risk the adventure.

As a result, the entire responsibility of controlling the ship fell solely on Xi’s shoulders.

Nonetheless, having drifted at sea since childhood with his father, Xi was experienced and could handle the small ship with ease by himself.

Yet, just as the ship was about to untie the cables and set sail, an unexpected situation arose.

Xi’s sister—

Yun, who had just been brought back from death’s door by Snow Woman, insisted on following everyone out to sea despite her frail health.

“Brother, let me go with you! I’m already better!”

Yun stood on the dock, her eyes firm yet slightly pleading.

“I learned how to sail with father when I was young too. I can help you! With two people, the ship will be faster and steadier!”

Upon hearing this, Xi’s face immediately darkened. He refused her sternly without hesitation:

“Nonsense! Absolutely not! Don’t you know how dangerous the South Sea is?”

“It was sheer luck I survived last time! You’ve just recovered, how can you risk going to such a place again?”

“Stay home obediently and wait for me to return!”

However, Yun was not deterred by her brother’s strictness and turned her gaze to Gu Xing standing at the ship’s bow.

“Master Gu Xing! Please allow me to go with you! I promise not to cause trouble, and I can really help! I beg you!”

Seeing this, Xi hurriedly tried to stop again, looking anxious.

Gu Xing’s eyes wandered over the siblings, Xi and Yun, for a moment.

He contemplated briefly and spoke slowly:

“Alright, Xi. Let your sister come along then.”

“With us here, we will ensure her safety.”

Hearing Gu Xing’s words, Xi opened his mouth but ultimately swallowed back his words of dissuasion.

With Master Gu Xing’s assurance, his sister’s safety was indeed much more assured.

He sighed helplessly, gave his sister a complex glance, and finally nodded:

“…Yes, Master Gu Xing. Yun, get on the ship, but stay close to me at all times and don’t wander off!”

“Thank you, brother! Thank you, Master Gu Xing!”

Joy instantly bloomed on Yun’s face as she lightly leaped aboard the deck.

Soon, everything was ready.

The siblings, Xi and Yun, cooperatively hoisted the sails, untied the cables, and adjusted the direction.

With the sea wind propelling it, the small boat slowly left the dock of the coastal city.

…

Meanwhile.

Following her inner intuition, Long Qingyan finally arrived above the South Sea.

She stood in mid-air, her golden eyes as dazzling as the brightest stars, coldly surveying the vast azure world below.

The sea breeze ruffled her pale golden hair, a faint dragon aura naturally emanated from her surroundings.

Making the sea creatures within a radius of several miles instinctively hide, not daring to emerge.

However, as she intended to delve deeper, the seascape ahead suddenly transformed!

The once clear skies and crystalline waters vanished, replaced by…

A boundless, dense, gray-white mist that couldn’t be dispersed.

This fog seemed to have a life of its own, rolling, spreading, completely obstructing sight and perception.

Long Qingyan’s elegant brows slightly furrowed.

This mist left her somewhat displeased.

She did not like this obscured sensation.

Faced with this eerie fog, capable of bewildering even ordinary strong fighters, Long Qingyan’s response was straightforward and direct.

She didn’t even make any superfluous moves.

Merely raising her delicate jade hand effortlessly, she lightly waved it at the boundless, dense fog in front.

However, this seemingly casual wave resonated with the Heaven and Earth Laws!

“Whoosh——!”

At that moment, the weather changed rapidly!

That strange, dense fog that had swallowed countless ships, in the face of absolute power…

Dissolved and retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Within just a few breaths, the once-misty sea surface became clear as day!

Sunlight shone again on the blue waves, and the view expanded greatly!

This miraculous scene deeply shook a presence hidden in the deep sea.

In a canyon thousands of meters under the sea, a gigantic octopus fierce beast, lurking in darkness and as large as a mountain, was observing the situation on the sea surface.

Seeing Long Qingyan disperse its painstakingly laid poison mist, feared even by Totem Level strong fighters, with a simple wave of her hand,

the massive compound eyes were instantly filled with endless fear and disbelief!

“How is this possible?! This… what existence is this?!”

The ancient octopus was shaken to its core, feeling an insurmountable gap in the level of life from that power.

That was a power it could absolutely not contend with!

Run!

It had to escape immediately!

This was its only thought.

Its massive body contracted intensely, stirring up the seabed’s sand and mud, eight enormous tentacles flailing madly, trying to retreat to a deeper trench to hide.

However, it was still too slow.

Above the sea, Long Qingyan had already seen through everything below.

Her golden eyes casually glanced at the sea where the octopus was hiding, and she reached down with another hand.

“Condense.”

As her icy voice sounded, the tens of thousands of tons of seawater seemed to hear a command.

They instantly gathered and compressed, transforming into a massive, clear, yet terrifyingly powerful hand of water, hundreds of meters across.

Penetrating through layers of seawater, it accurately fished the gigantic octopus, attempting to flee from the deep sea abyss!

“Splash——!”

The colossal water hand broke through the sea surface, holding the frantically struggling, terrified shrieking octopus fierce beast in mid-air, suspended in front of Long Qingyan.

Long Qingyan hovered in the air, looking down with a calm gaze at this giant beast, which was like a toy in her grasp.

Her eyes were still and serene, yet exuded a dignity freezing the soul.

With her red lips slightly parted, her voice was cold, directly piercing the giant beast’s consciousness:

“Why did you set up this mist here, intending to obstruct me?”

The octopus fierce beast, feeling the tangible dragon aura, trembled greatly in its huge body.

All its fierce aura dissipated, leaving only the most primal fear.

It dared not conceal anything, hurriedly answering with trembling spirit fluctuations:

“Your… Your Excellency, please don’t be angry! I… I dare not! I am just following orders!”

“Ordered by whom? Speak clearly.”

Long Qingyan’s voice was without the slightest ripple.

“It was… the Abyssal Demon Whale, Your Excellency! It’s the king of this sea region!”

“Just recently, beneath the largest ruins of the Sea Race’s old land, an ancient relic suddenly opened!”

“The energy fluctuations emanating from it are extremely enticing!”

“Now the Demon Race has withdrawn, and various powerful sea beasts have been drawn in, wanting to compete for treasures and territory within the relic!”

“Master Abyssal Demon Whale ordered us subordinates to set up defenses around the relic!”

“Drive away or destroy any creatures trying to approach, to prevent new competitors from appearing.”

“I… I was only in charge of the fog barrier in this area…”

“I absolutely did not intend to offend Your Excellency! I beg Your Excellency to spare my life!”

The Sea Race’s old land?

Ancient relic?

A subtle, imperceptible fluctuation flashed in Long Qingyan’s golden eyes.

Her intuition told her that this suddenly appeared relic might be related to the answers she sought.

Having obtained the information she wanted, Long Qingyan lost interest in conversing further with this minor character.

With a casual wave, the massive hand of seawater vanished instantly.

The gigantic octopus fierce beast thudded back into the vast ocean with a splash.

And with a flash of golden light around Long Qingyan, she transformed into a sharp sword-like golden streak, breaking through the seawater directly.

Heading straight towards the mysterious relic entrance at the sea’s depth!

While the octopus fierce beast, having survived the ordeal, was filled with dread:

“Too terrifying! Dispersing my life-essence poison mist with a wave, controlling the sea as if with an arm…”

“This kind of power, this kind of dignity… could… could it be the Dragon Race from the legendary Dragon Island?!”

…
