Chapter 135 Crossing the River by Feeling Its Way (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Chirp!"
A cry echoed across the boundless sea.

A three-zhang-high column of water shot into the sky, and then the sea suddenly exploded. A giant whale leaped out and crashed into the water like Mount Buzhou collapsing.

With a thunderous roar, it stirred up boundless waves.

At the same time, a shirtless young man was seen lying on the back of the whale, too afraid to move, and could only shout silently.

After a while, seeing that the giant whale did not dive into the deep sea, the young man wiped his face and slowly sat up.

He was handsome and agile, but there was a melancholy air about him.

It was Liang Xiao himself.

After Liang Xiao and A Xue escaped from the banks of the Qiantang River, they went through a lot of hardships and realized their feelings for each other. However, when the young man met Liu Yingying and Hua Xiaoshuang, his indecisive and pretentious nature resurfaced. He liked and loved all three women, but chose none of them.

During this time, Liu Yingying kept targeting A Xue, making her extremely sad, and she returned to Xihua Garden by herself.

Helpless, Liang Xiao was about to give chase when Hua Xiaoshuang's old illness relapsed, and she also encountered the little boy Zhao Guo, the Prince of Guang, which delayed her.

Later, in the struggle for the young emperor, while fighting fiercely with their formidable enemy Yun Shu, they were pursued by Yuan soldiers and had no choice but to escape by boat.

Unexpectedly, they were attacked by a giant whale, causing the ship to rock violently. Liang Xiao, in the midst of his life-or-death struggle with Yun Shu, accidentally slipped and fell into the vast ocean.

When he woke up, he found himself on the back of a whale, which was dark and smooth like a small island.

Liang Xiao struggled to sit up, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood. He looked up and saw that the daylight had faded, the twilight was dark, and a few scattered stars were visible.

As he fumbled to set the broken bone, he tore off a piece of sashimi from the whale's back and chewed it. His hunger and thirst were slightly relieved, and he looked at the vast sky, feeling desolate.

Just then, a loud "chirp" was heard, and the giant whale suddenly sank. Before Liang Xiao could understand what was happening, he was already in the water.

Liang Xiao was pulled deeper and deeper into the sea, where he was tossed about by the turbulent currents, which were no small matter and caused him to lose his grip several times.

But in that critical moment, Liang Xiao thought of Liu Yingying, Hua Xiaoshuang, and A Xue who was far away in Huashan. His will to survive rekindled, and his hands, like steel hooks and sharp blades, clung tightly to the back of the giant whale. He managed to hold on until the whale surfaced, thus saving his life.

Liang Xiao escaped danger by sheer luck. Half-conscious, he gradually loosened his grip.

After a long while, he choked on a puddle of seawater and vaguely saw the back of a woman, who resembled Xiaoshuang, Yingying, or Axue, ethereal and misty, like smoke and fog. He reached out to touch her, but she was out of reach.

After a while, it seemed as if a carefree laugh could be heard, full of pride and unrestrained spirit.

Liang Xiao would never forget that kind of laughter.

Isn't that the laughter of the white-robed man on the banks of the Qiantang River?
The man in white robes possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and style, undoubtedly the best among all the people he had ever encountered.

After the Battle of Qiantang River, his deeds of beheading Bayan and causing thousands of troops to flee in terror wherever he went spread far and wide, greatly boosting the morale of the anti-Yuan army.

He was even revered by enthusiasts as the "Number One Swordsman in the World." When Gongyang Yu learned of this, he admitted his inferiority and conceded defeat.

"Ha, if he were here too, would he still be as carefree as ever? Or would he look as dejected as I do?"

Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of that elegant and poised figure, who was just as pathetic as he was in a foreign land.

The frustration in my heart was somewhat relieved.

"Haha, I'm really out of my mind. How could the White Robe, the number one swordsman in the world, possibly appear on this vast ocean?"

Just then, a loud laugh was heard from the sky.

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked up abruptly, his eyes widening in shock as he exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

A white-robed man stood upright in the air, his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering like those of an immortal.

And look at him, he has no foothold, clearly he is walking on air, flying over this vast sea.
This ability is beyond description!

When Liang Xiao looked again, he was both surprised and delighted, and exclaimed, "Young Master Ren, is it Young Master Ren?"

Ren Shaoyang was twenty feet in the air, with the boundless sea below. The giant whale, which looked like a small island, was just a shadow in the sea, and Liang Xiao on its back was just a small insect. If he hadn't shouted loudly, he might have really missed it.

"Haha, is that Liang Xiao?"

Ren Shaoyang was in high spirits. He raised his hand to greet them and then floated down gracefully.

Liang Xiao stared in shock as the white robe landed beside him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Ren, you...you've become an immortal!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and raised his right hand to show off: "I'm not an immortal, I'm just walking a shark!"

With a flick of the wrist, a loud crash was heard in the distance.

Liang Xiao turned his head and stared, and saw a tiger shark being pulled out of the sea, shaking its head in the air, looking extremely ferocious.

Ren Shaoyang sighed and said, "Considering that you carried me all the way, I will spare your life." With a flick of his finger, a thin strand of silk was drawn back with a "whoosh".

Ren the rascal punched the shark near its right eye with a backhand, making the shark straighten up: "Get lost!"

The tiger shark dared not use its spikes and could only slink away in disgrace.

Liang Xiao watched in stunned silence, but upon seeing the shimmering silver thread and the tiger shark that had been chased away, he suddenly realized: "Young Master Ren, you used this silver thread to embed in the tiger shark's back, borrowing the shark's swimming power to swim and fly?"

"Hey, you're not stupid, are you!" Ren Shaoyang laughed. "You figured it out so quickly?"

Liang Xiao chuckled, then his expression suddenly turned gloomy, but he remained silent.

Ren Shaoyang, seeing right through him, laughed and said, "What, do you think I'm not a god, and that there's no hope of survival?"

After a long while, Liang Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master Ren, I... I'm just worried about how to survive in this desperate situation."

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly and sat cross-legged: "There is always a way out. The way to survive is right here." As he spoke, he patted the slippery whale back below.

"A way to survive?" Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao quickly sat down as well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Young Master Ren, do you mean we should hitch a ride on the whale's boat and have a meal while it's hunting?"

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; that's the truth!"

Liang Xiao frowned, forcing a smile, "But we're at sea; we'll die of thirst without fresh water."

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly and glanced at the sky: "A storm is coming in the next few days. The rain will quench our thirst, won't it?"

clam?
A storm? Liang Xiao was startled and quickly said, "Young Master Ren, if a storm comes, won't we be in even more danger?"

Ren Shaoyang waved his hand: "Don't call me 'Young Master Ren,' it sounds cheesy. You call me Brother Ren, and I'll call you Xiao Liang. That's much more friendly."

Liang Xiao laughed heartily: "We have a good relationship. I'm actually getting a good deal by being able to call the number one swordsman in the world Brother Ren."

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Little Liang, you were worried that you wouldn't survive the storm, but there's really no need to worry."

"Oh? But is there a solution?"

"No."

Liang Xiao was shocked: "What do you mean, 'nothing'?"

"Because," Ren Shaoyang suddenly sprawled on the whale's back and chuckled, "we should worry about not choking to death first!"

Liang Xiao was startled, then suddenly heard a "chirp" sound. The whale's back sank down abruptly, and his expression changed drastically. He quickly followed Ren Shaoyang's example and climbed onto the whale's back.

"Wow"!
The giant whale sank into the water, and seawater rushed into its seven orifices. Liang Xiao was horrified and quickly grabbed the whale's back, not daring to move.

In an instant, the giant whale sank even deeper, creating a tremendous undercurrent that caused Liang Xiao's ten fingers to pierce the whale's back, yet he refused to let go.

The giant whale dived deeper and deeper, until it finally began to flip over in the sea.

Liang Xiao knew that if he were thrown off, he would surely die. He immediately focused his mind and circulated his internal energy to stabilize himself, but the turbulent underwater currents still caused him to slip from his grasp several times.

As he struggled to cope, he couldn't help but think of Ren Shaoyang, wondering to himself, "How is Brother Ren? Is he also having a hard time like me?"

He squinted at it, but was taken aback.

Ren Shaoyang looked relaxed, his hands clinging to the whale's back like suction cups, but his legs were not on it, instead swaying in the water like a fish tail.

His body swayed from side to side with the whale's movements, swimming along the current like a white fish, enjoying himself immensely.

Liang Xiao watched with envy and tried swimming in the same way, finding it indeed less strenuous.

Before long, they suddenly heard the giant whale let out a sharp cry, and the two of them sank to the surface again.

When Liang Xiao emerged from the water, he felt completely limp, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He suddenly collapsed onto the whale's back, panting heavily. He could hear the whale's fins swaying and the splashing sound. He was amazed that he had survived again.

Just then, Ren Shaoyang's calm voice came: "Xiao Liang, sit up and breathe in your inner energy. This is a rare and precious place for practicing martial arts."

Liang Xiao struggled to lift his head, only to see Ren Shaoyang sitting cross-legged on the spot, circulating his internal energy. His handsome face appeared solemn and dignified, exuding great authority.

"it is good!"

He quickly got up and began to practice in the same way as Ren Shaoyang.

In the following days, the giant whale would occasionally let out a cry and dive into the deep sea. The two were already on guard and no longer panicked, so they followed the giant whale.

When it rose again, Liang Xiao felt weak all over and wanted to collapse into bed, but Ren Shaoyang still pulled him up, ate some of the sea fish he had caught while sneaking around, and then continued his cultivation.

For seven consecutive days without sleep or rest, he practiced his internal energy without stopping. Strangely enough, Liang Xiao felt that his true energy not only did not decline but increased, accumulating more and more.

The man in white, however, remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression solemn and dignified.

Most remarkably, since entering the water three days ago, he hasn't changed his posture, as if he were glued to the back of a whale. And his white robe has remained completely dry, without a single water stain visible.
Liang Xiao was completely baffled and could only marvel at it in secret.

On this day, the two were exercising as usual.

Suddenly, Ren Shaoyang said slowly, "Xiao Liang, listen carefully!"

Liang Xiao was taken aback, but quickly perked up.

Then a strange sound drifted along with the water, perfectly in sync with the season.

Sometimes majestic, sometimes melodious, flowing endlessly up and down, sometimes like muffled thunder, sometimes like flowing water, ever-changing and unpredictable.

It sounded like a piece of music, yet it was unlike any music in the human world; many of the notes were ones that the two of them had never heard before in their lives.

"Brother Ren, what's that sound?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly: "Whale Song!" As soon as he finished speaking, the whale song gradually became more expansive and unrestrained, revealing a sense of joy.

Liang Xiao was completely absorbed in the music, and his blood and qi flowed around him unconsciously with the music, sometimes boiling and raging, sometimes barely perceptible.

A thought suddenly occurred to him: "Why don't I try it and see what this giant whale's breathing will elicit?" Driven by curiosity, he immediately followed Ren Shaoyang's example, sitting cross-legged on the whale's back, relaxing his inner energy, and letting it flow freely.

Before long, his true energy and breathing were drawn to the whale song and began to circulate. Liang Xiao felt refreshed and couldn't help but smile.

And all this.

Ren Shaoyang, who was standing to the side with his dog looking furtive and his eyes shining brightly, saw all of this.

o(*￣︶￣*)o
Ren the Rascal smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Little Liang, you're feeling your way across the river by touching the whale, and I'll feel your way across the river by touching you. If we help each other, we'll both have a bright future."

He immediately imitated Liang Xiao's breathing, his body's acupoints trembling, and began to circulate his internal energy.

Under this action, Ren Shaoyang immediately felt his true energy stirring, darting east and west, becoming quite mischievous.

He listened to the rhythm of the whale song, adjusted his internal energy flow, and moved accordingly. In no time, he felt his internal organs, bones, skin, and hair were full of vitality, and everything was filled with his internal energy.

The two stopped talking and closed their eyes to cultivate. After about four hours, the giant whale sank again.

Ren Shaoyang and Liang Xiao composed themselves and exchanged a glance.

They all felt their bodies filled with vital energy, which was inexhaustible and endless, and they were overjoyed.

The two couldn't help but hug each other and laugh loudly.

"Hahahaha, glug glug~!"
