Chapter 599: Chapter 600: Undercurrent_1

"Is a strange temple making a move?"

"A strange canine Divine Lord?"

The Third Prince looked at the intelligence report in his hands and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he opened his eyes, glanced in the direction of Wolf Mountain Hall, and murmured lowly,

"Is it you? Or is it..."

"The power is completely different. Have you concealed it, or is it..."

"Could you have hidden such terrifying power under the full-assault of the Protector Dragon? Is that really possible?"

All sorts of suspicions swirled in the Third Prince’s mind as he was extremely cautious of those individuals who suddenly appeared and forcefully delayed the united army’s assault, leading to the ultimate failure of the united army’s last operation.

"I wonder if they can be persuaded to join us..."

"However, Nanyu will definitely hold a grudge against the united army, they should have a headache now."

With an evil smile, the Third Prince muttered to himself,

"To actually move the entire Nanyu City... I really have no idea how strong they are. Well, as long as Nanyu Kingdom is bogged down with it, we can be a bit safer."

"Dammit!"

The Eldest Prince, looking at the intelligence report in his hands, shouted angrily, while the guards nearby trembled in fear in the corner, afraid the Eldest Prince would take his anger out on them.

"Tell me! What exactly does that guy want to do!"

"To openly seek revenge! Where does he get the audacity!"

"And Xiao Wu, why must he go against us!"

"And the third one too! What is he trying to do!"

After venting for a while, the Eldest Prince glanced in the direction of Wolf Mountain Hall and said,

"No, I have to find him and ask what he really wants to do!"

"Your Highness, you must not."

"Why not?"

The Eldest Prince glared at the Strategist who had spoken up. Intimidated by the Eldest Prince’s stare, the Strategist hesitated before saying,

"If you are to inquire, what will you ask?"

"Of course, it’s about what exactly is going on with Feng Yuan! And that Great White Dog that appeared in Nanyu Kingdom, what is it exactly!"

"And then what? If they still deny any involvement, what then? As for Nanyu Kingdom’s... to be honest, knowing or not doesn’t make a difference."

"With the power to withstand the Protector Dragon’s attack and preserve such strength, can we, the Great Li, really stand against it?"

"Then what do you suggest we do!"

"Isn’t Kui Shui Xuanwu continually moving forward?"

"Yes, what about it?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzledly at Yao Yin, who was watching him fish. Seeing Feng Yuan fishing, Yao Yin asked, perplexed,

"If that’s the case, how can you expect to get any fish on the hook?"

"Why not?"

As he spoke, Feng Yuan pulled the fishing rod, and a large fish was firmly hooked, the hook piercing completely through the fish’s mouth. No matter how hard the fish struggled, it couldn’t escape from the hook.

"Did you really hook this one?"

Yao Yin was speechless, observing the fish on the hook. It looked less like the fish had taken the bait and more like someone had forcibly hung the fish on the hook.

"Of course~"

"You really are idle. If you needed fish, you could have had Kui Shui Xuanwu catch some for you, but why make it hang the fish on your hook?"

Agunas’s apparition flicked its tail and watched Feng Yuan with no words, scratching its head. Feng Yuan smiled brightly and said,

"Isn’t it fun~"

"Purely looking for trouble."

Agunas’s apparition responded irritably, putting the fish into the basket. Feng Yuan looked up at the sun and said,

"Alright, no more playing around. It’s time to prepare lunch."

As soon as Feng Yuan’s words fell, pillars of water spurted from the nearby sea surface, and fish rained down onto the shell-like area. Feng Yuan called out to Xiao Ji and Yao Yin to help pick up the fish. The Little Green Snake was busy taking care of Pomiti. Although Kui Shui Xuanwu could hold up a barrier to prevent water from approaching the space near the shell, it couldn’t stop the creatures inside from falling into the water.

"So, were you killing time like this before?"

Yao Yin asked while picking up fish. Feng Yuan had been fishing for quite a while, and they were all considering whether they should resort to their dry provisions given the slow progress.

"There’s nothing else to do anyway, that’s the problem with the ocean, there just isn’t much to do for fun, and Xiao Ji doesn’t want to get in the water."

"Get in the water? The waters of the Starlit Sea are anything but safe, they’re very dangerous."

"It’s all the same to me, not dangerous at all."

Feng Yuan said without a care. Even though there were various dangerous creatures in the Starlit Sea far from the mainland, none of them posed any threat to Feng Yuan. Moreover, everyone was now in the inner sea. Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with a bit of grievance; it really disliked water, but it felt a bit guilty for making Feng Yuan spend his time fishing out of boredom.

"Why don’t you just use a barrier to take it down?"

The Agunas phantom flicked its tail quizzically and glanced at the thin layer of soil beneath it. Feng Yuan curled his lip and said,

"Then I might as well just have Kui Shui Xuanwu dive... Oh, right! If Kui Shui Xuanwu dives, we wouldn’t have the water too close, and Xiao Ji probably wouldn’t be scared then~"

"Xiao Ji is afraid of the water because of the mess you make, always tossing it in."

The Agunas phantom flicked its tail in dissatisfaction and Xiao Ji yipped in agreement, seemingly quite unhappy with Feng Yuan’s actions.

"Pshaw, weren’t you ’Coming of the Future’ not afraid of water either?"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with confusion; it didn’t have much recollection of it—it seemed... well... it was indeed as Feng Yuan had said?

"Forget it, let’s sort out lunch first then enjoy the undersea world."

Feng Yuan said, giving the pitifully cute Xiao Ji an indulgent glance.

"You actually managed to catch that many fish?"

Guo Huai looked puzzledly at the basket of fish in Feng Yuan’s hand, while Liu Wenli glanced at Amon who was enjoying honey with Wei Dingwu’s Telekinetic Brown Bear and said,

"You had the Wolf God dive in to help you catch them, didn’t you?"

Initially, Liu Wenli thought that the White Wolf Deity was a Dog God, since it mostly maintained a Big Dog appearance when it was with the group. Only after that battle did she realize the White Wolf Deity didn’t prefer to stay in that form, it was just to avoid being exposed.

Indeed, Mo Li and the others had not continued to hide their identities from them. There was no need, neither Liu Wenli nor Wei Dingwu would betray Mo Li to the enemy. Moreover, the cover was not maintained very well to begin with; it was better to explain things clearly rather than speculate.

"How could that be, she’s been by her side the whole time."

Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin, who was leisurely enjoying tea with Mo Ling and Wei Dingwu. It seemed that due to the lack of things to do there, they simply started an impromptu tea party in front of the cabin. Liu Wenli grabbed the fish basket from Feng Yuan’s hand and asked,

"Need help?"

"Sure, how about honey-grilled fish?"

"Roar!"

Amon watched Feng Yuan warily, while clutching the honey jar tightly. Even though the honey was provided by Feng Yuan, once it was in Amon’s possession, it belonged to Amon. Shooting a glance at Amon, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"Relax, I won’t take yours; I’ve got my own honey."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan produced another jar of honey. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Amon looked at him with wide, sparkling eyes while holding the jar, and Feng Yuan said with a wicked smile,

"Honey-grilled fish or honey, choose one."

Seeing Amon’s indecision, Liu Wenli said exasperatedly,

"You already have honey in hand, don’t be so greedy."

Amon beamed a simple, honest smile and, instead of looking at them, continued to share the honey with Wei Dingwu’s Telekinetic Brown Bear. Deeming it a rare opportunity to interact with its own kind, Amon treasured the chance to be with another of its species.

"Mo Ling, where’s your brother?"

Feng Yuan looked around but found it odd that he couldn’t see Mo Li.

"Inside the house, seems like he’s dealing with something, do you need him?"

"Is it urgent...?"

Feng Yuan said with a hint of disappointment. Just then, Mo Li stepped out, and a small messenger bird took flight from his hand toward the sky. Seeing Feng Yuan, Mo Li asked with some perplexity,

"What? Do you need me?"

"No big deal, I was just saying that after lunch, let’s have Kui Shui Xuanwu take us for a dive below, following her around is getting rather dull."

Feng Yuan said this, pointing to Nanyu City moving slowly in the distance. Unlike the Nanyu Kingdom soldiers, who needed to stay alert, Feng Yuan’s group had nothing much to worry about. No one would be bold enough to attack a Divine Beast at sea, or rather, even if they did, it would be useless; they wouldn’t stand a chance.

It was for this reason everyone was feeling a bit bored. Previously, while traveling, they could at least pass the time with the occurrence of strange terrains, but now they could only wait listlessly on the back of Kui Shui Xuanwu.
