Young Song: The Hidden Sword God, Han Yi and Her Child Arrive at the Door.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, made the colorful flags in the manor flutter in the wind.

Although Wanghai Town is not large, it became ten times more lively overnight because of the opening of the "Changqinglou Donghai Office".

Merchants and江湖人士 (jianghu figures) flocked to the area, not for anything else, but to taste the legendary "charcoal-grilled octopus".

Su Changqing wasn't very interested in running this small place. Apart from cooking for Xiao Nuomi every day and occasionally giving Lei Wujie and the others some pointers, he spent most of his time studying the sea chart that he had found in the secret room of the Hailong Gang.

This nautical chart is very old, with various strange symbols and whirlpools drawn on it using unknown dyes. In the deepest part of the East China Sea, there is a misty area marked with a red circle.

"The fairyland beyond the seas, Penglai Island."

Su Changqing lightly tapped the red circle with his finger, a playful smile playing on his lips. "That old bastard Mo Yi is hiding pretty well. But it's alright, we'll find him eventually by eating our way through."

"Eat it?"

Lei Wujie was practicing his boxing in the yard when he heard this and almost threw out his back. "Brother-in-law, aren't we going to get medical treatment? Why does it sound like we're going to raid the seafood market?"

"You need to get treatment, and you also need to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive."

Su Changqing closed the nautical chart, stood up and stretched. "The weather is nice today, and the waves are high, perfect for going out to sea."

"Going to sea?!"

Wushuang's eyes lit up, and he threw down the radish in his hand (he'd been chopping radishes so much lately he was questioning his existence). "Sir, how are we going to get there? You sank all of the Hailong Gang's ships with a single finger. Now there are only a few small sampans left, and they can't withstand any more trouble."

"Who said we were going to take a boat?"

Su Changqing smiled mysteriously, then turned to look at Li Hanyi, who was braiding Xiao Nuomi's hair, "Wife, today's hairstyle is great, very suitable for... riding the Kun."

"Riding a Kun?"

Li Hanyi was stunned.

……

Half an hour later, at the dock in Wanghai Town.

Countless commoners and martial arts practitioners gathered here, craning their necks to watch Su Changqing and his group as if they were watching a spectacle.

Instead of boarding any boats, they walked directly to the cliffs by the sea.

The waves crashed against the rocks, creating a thousand layers of white foam.

"Sir, you don't mean for us to swim across, do you?" Although Xiao Se had recovered his cultivation, he still felt a little uneasy looking at the vast ocean.

"Swimming? Too tiring."

Su Changqing shook his head, walked to the edge of the cliff, faced the surging sea, and took a deep breath.

Then, he raised his right foot and gently stomped it on the sea.

"BOOM—!!!"

A loud bang, like an underwater volcano erupting.

The calm sea suddenly began to churn violently, and a huge whirlpool formed beneath Su Changqing's feet, its depths unfathomable, as if leading straight to the underworld.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and long cry came from the depths of the sea.

The sound was like an ancient horn, stirring the soul and spirit.

"What...what is that sound?!"

Lei Wujie covered his ears, feeling his internal organs trembling.

"Splash—"

The sea exploded, and a huge black shadow burst out of the water!

It was a creature of unimaginable size!

Its body is hundreds of feet long, its back is as broad as a plain, and its skin is a deep dark blue, covered with ancient golden patterns.

The moment it leaped out of the water, it blotted out the sky, and the entire dock seemed to be plunged into darkness!

In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun!

"This is... a Kun?!"

Xiao Se's eyes widened. Although he was well-read, he had only ever seen descriptions of this creature in myths and legends. He never imagined he would actually see one alive today!

Moreover, this Kun seems... to be very docile?

The giant Kun drew a graceful arc in the air, and then, like a well-behaved puppy, slowly swam to the edge of the cliff where Su Changqing was, revealing its broad back above the water, and even sprayed a jet of water in a flattering manner.

"good."

Su Changqing patted Kun's head (though he could only pat a little bit of the skin), then turned around and waved to the crowd who were already dumbfounded.

"What are you waiting for? Get on the bus... oh no, get on the Kun!"

"Oh my god..."

Lei Wujie, his legs trembling, was the first to jump onto it. Stepping onto the Kun's back felt like stepping on solid land, and there was even a strange warmth.

"That's so cool! It's a million times more stylish than that Jade Lion that Shines at Night!"

Wushuang excitedly grabbed the sword box and jumped onto it, even trying to do two somersaults on the Kun's back.

Although Li Hanyi was well-informed, she couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

Holding Xiao Nuomi, she landed lightly beside Su Changqing, her beautiful eyes filled with wonder.

"Is this the 'boat' you're taking us on?"

"How is it? This boat is pretty good, isn't it? All-natural, pollution-free, and doesn't even burn oil," Su Changqing said with a smile.

Little Nuomi was so happy she danced around, shouting, "Big fish! We're going to ride a big fish to catch lobsters!"

"Set off!"

Su Changqing gave the order.

The giant Kun let out a joyful cry and gently swayed its tail.

boom!

Its enormous body burst through the waves in an instant, moving at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only a long white spray and dumbfounded onlookers on the shore.

"A god...this is divine power!"

"I've made up my mind! I'm going to erect a longevity tablet for Changqing Tower!"

……

The East China Sea is vast and magnificent.

Riding on the back of a Kun is truly an extraordinary experience.

Although the speed was extremely fast, Su Changqing had already set up a windproof barrier, so everyone walked on the back of the Kun as if on flat ground. They could even set up a banquet, enjoying the local delicacies packed from Wanghai Town while admiring the sea view.

"Sir, where did you get this Kun from?"

Xiao Se couldn't help but ask. He simply couldn't understand how this legendary creature could be tamed so obediently by Su Changqing.

"Oh, it."

Su Changqing said casually,

"I just scanned the seabed with my divine sense and found this little guy sleeping there. So I woke him up and reasoned with him. He thought what I said made a lot of sense, so he agreed to give us a ride."

Reasoning?

Xiao Se's lips twitched.

Is that what you call being reasonable?

You're clearly trying to reason with your fists!

He was certain that Su Changqing had completely subdued this Kun!

"Daddy, look! There are so many flying fish over there!"

Little Nuomi pointed at a group of silver flying fish leaping out of the sea and shouted excitedly.

"Yes, that's silver barracuda. ​​It has delicious flesh and few bones, making it perfect for sashimi."

Su Changqing glanced at it and waved his hand casually.

Several invisible sword energies flew out, accurately striking down several of the largest flying fish, then automatically removing their scales, slicing them, and placing them on a plate on the table.

"Here, have a taste, this is the freshest."

Everyone: "..."

This travel experience is simply five-star treatment!

And so, the group drifted at sea for several days.

During this time, they encountered a violent storm, but under Su Changqing's barrier, not even a wave could get in;

They also encountered attacks from ferocious sea beasts, but thanks to Wushuang's unparalleled swordsmanship and Lei Wujie's gunpowder fist, those sea beasts eventually became delicacies on the dinner table.

Especially that deep-sea electric eel that was ten zhang long, after being roasted by Lei Wujie using his fire-scorching technique, the taste was absolutely amazing!

"I feel like my skills have improved again!"

Lei Wujie let out a burp that crackled with electricity. "This electric eel meat contains the power of thunder, which will greatly benefit my Thunder Sect martial arts!"

"Don't just focus on eating."

Su Changqing warned, "Something's not right in that area of ​​the sea ahead. Something's waiting for us."

Everyone immediately became alert.

Suddenly, the azure sea turned an eerie black.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder rumbled, as if a huge storm was brewing.

And in the eye of the storm, the outline of an island could be faintly seen.

"What...is that place?"

Wushuang asked.

"That's...Scarcity Island."

Xiao Se looked at the nautical chart in his hand, his expression grave. "Legend has it that it's one of the most dangerous areas in the East China Sea. No one who goes in has ever come out alive."

"Moreover... it's said that an ancient beast—the Deep Sea Demon Whale—occupies that place!"

"Deep-sea Demon Whale?"

Lei Wujie swallowed hard. "Is it bigger than the Kun right under our butts?"

"It should be... about right." Xiao Se wasn't sure either.

"No matter how big or small, if it's blocking the way, it's going to die."

Su Changqing stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Perfect timing. I wasn't full from the electric eel, so a whale would be nice too. I heard whale meat is a bit tough, but it should be good for soup."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Are you here for tourism or to purchase goods?

Just then.

"roar--!!!"

A roar, even more powerful and terrifying than that of the Kun, came from the black sea!

Immediately afterwards, towering waves crashed!

A huge black head emerged from the water!

Its head was covered with vicious barbs, and a single eye emitted a scarlet light, staring intently at the crowd.

Deep-sea Demon Whale!

Its size was even larger than the Kun that Su Changqing and the others were riding! It exuded a suffocatingly ferocious aura!

"This...has it become sentient?"

Lei Wujie was so frightened he almost fell to the ground.

The demonic whale opened its blood-red maw, and a jet of black water shot out like a laser cannon, heading straight for the group!

"You beast! How dare you be so insolent!"

Li Hanyi was about to draw her sword.

"You don't need to lift a finger."

Su Changqing stopped her, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"It's been a while since I've really gotten serious. This big guy looks pretty tough, perfect for loosening up my muscles."

As he spoke, he stomped his foot.

He shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for the terrifying column of water!

"The Tribulation of All Gods - broken!"

Su Changqing didn't use his sword, but instead threw a punch!

What appears to be an ordinary punch contains the power to shatter the void!

"boom!"

The black water column, powerful enough to destroy a city, was instantly shattered by this punch, turning into a shower of rain.

Without pausing for a moment, Su Changqing passed through the rain and appeared directly above the Demon Whale's head!

"Get down!"

He roared and stomped down hard with his right foot!

Boom! ! !

It was like a meteorite crashing into the ocean!

That enormous deep-sea whale was actually stomped into the sea by that tiny foot!

The massive tsunami spread outwards, even shaking the Kun they were riding.

"Awooo—"

The demon whale let out a painful howl. It never expected that this seemingly insignificant human would possess such terrifying power!

But it is, after all, an ancient mythical beast, with thick skin and flesh, and is ferocious and difficult to tame.

It rolled around underwater once, then surged back up, opening its huge mouth as if to swallow Su Changqing whole!

"You dare to resist? You've got guts!"

Instead of retreating, Su Changqing charged forward, directly into the mouth of the demonic whale!

"Huh? My brother-in-law was eaten?!" Lei Wujie exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up! Look carefully!" Xiao Se hissed.

Just as the demon whale closed its mouth, its body suddenly began to convulse violently.

Followed by.

"Pfft!"

A sharp, tearing sound, like tearing silk.

The Demon Whale's back, which was as hard as iron, was actually torn open with a large gash!

Su Changqing, radiating golden light, flew out of the opening like a war god, clutching a dragon tendon as thick as an arm in his hand.

Oh no, that's the main tendon of the Demon Whale!

"Tearing apart... a giant whale?!"

Wushuang's eyelids twitched as she watched.

Is this even human? This is even more ferocious than the legendary Nezha causing havoc in the Dragon King!

"Awooo—!!!"

The demonic whale, its tendons severed, let out a desperate scream as its massive body slammed heavily onto the sea, sending up a thousand waves. It twitched a few times and then remained motionless.

Blood stained the entire sea red.

Su Changqing hovered in the air, holding the still-pulsating whale tendon in his hand, and shook off the bloodstains with some disgust.

"This tendon is good. I'll take it back and make a slingshot for Nuonuo to play with."

He glanced at the enormous whale carcass again. "There's a lot of meat... Never mind, Wushuang, you can go through the trouble of cutting it into pieces, and we'll take it with us and eat it slowly. Oh, and remember to save the best piece of tenderloin; we'll make sashimi tonight."

Wushuang: "..."

I am a sword immortal! Not a butcher!

But under Su Changqing's "kind" gaze, he could only tearfully draw his flying sword and begin the task of dissecting the corpse.

"Wow, that's amazing! Daddy's so amazing!"

Little Nuomi jumped and clapped her hands on the back of the Kun, her eyes full of little stars.

Li Hanyi looked at the man standing in mid-air, her eyes filled with tenderness and pride.

Is there anything in this world that can stop him?

No!

Absolutely not!

Having overcome the obstacle, the group continued on their way.

After passing through that dark sea, the scenery suddenly opened up before us.

In the distance, on the sea, a fairy island shrouded in mist appeared and disappeared. The island was filled with spiritual energy, and cranes flew about, as if it truly was a legendary paradise.

Penglai Island!

"We've finally arrived."

Xiao Se looked at the island, clenched his fist, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

His foundation and his future lie on that island!

"Mo Yi..."

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes, looking at the subtle yet powerful aura on the island, a smile playing on his lips.

"The guests have arrived, shouldn't the host come out to greet them?"

His voice pierced through the clouds and echoed directly over Penglai Island.

After a while.

A cool, clear voice came from the island.

"It is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. But the shores of the East Sea are not a place for ordinary people. Since you have managed to cross the Sea of ​​No Life, you must have some skills. In that case, let's go ashore and have a chat."

As the sound faded, the clouds and mist surrounding the island slowly dispersed, revealing a white jade road leading to the heart of the island.

"Walk!"

Su Changqing patted Kun's head.

The giant Kun carried everyone and slowly sailed into that mysterious fairy island.

A dialogue concerning destiny and the laws of heaven is about to unfold between the owner of Changqinglou and this immortal from the East Sea.

As for Su Changqing...

This was just a... rather unusual "home visit".
