Chapter 3: Having an Attendant (Part 2)

  Chapter 3 (Part 2) of Volume 3 had an extra follower

  At noon, the azure sea surface sparkled with sunlight, like shiny scales. On the distant horizon, a few seagulls chased each other, and a gray-white red-billed gull dived sharply into the sea, picking up a silver fish, its wings bringing up a string of crystal clear water droplets.

  I lay quietly in the shell, admiring the sea view, my body swaying with the waves, as if I had melted into a part of the ocean. The blue sky and white clouds, the vastness of the heavens, made me feel expansive and free. Sometimes, schools of fish would swim by, curiously circling around me before darting away. Sometimes, seagulls would land on the shell, pecking at it with their sharp beaks before flying off in vain. At dusk, a sea turtle even swam up, affectionately nudging me with its snout, probably mistaking me for one of its own kind. It wasn't until dawn the next day that the sea turtle finally flapped its fins and reluctantly left.

  The sun rises and sets, day and night alternate, I either watch the sea view or sleep in my shell. Although I don't eat or drink, I can barely hold on. On the sixth day, looking at the purple-red sunset all over the sky, I suddenly got excited, just one more day, I will be able to ascend to the colorful heaven and reach the state of ecstasy! Just thinking about it with relish, the hard shell shook violently, a strong gust of wind swept past, and the sky suddenly darkened.

  The clouds in the sky dispersed quickly, and soon dark clouds gathered. A few large raindrops "pattered" on the hard shell. Looking at this situation, a storm is coming.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after a suffocating silence, gusts of wind swept over one after another, and the sea water churned violently. The dark sky suddenly lit up, and several blue lightning bolts tore through the darkness, thunder boomed, and heavy rain poured down quickly and urgently, like countless shiny whips lashing at the sea surface.

  The sea roared, and in the midst of the shocking waves, I was tossed up by the huge waves time and again, and fell down again and again, as if I were riding on clouds and driving through fog. The raindrops hit the hard shell densely, and now the hard shell finally had its use, and could block the wind and rain for me.

  In the midst of the roaring tide, a faint cry suddenly echoed, and a row of snow-white waves rushed to the shore, slamming heavily onto the hard shell with a "bang". A heavy object fell onto the hard shell along with the waves, and immediately two hands grasped tightly onto the hard shell.

  I took a closer look, and it was actually a small boy with red lips and white teeth, with a braid tied up high, wearing a red bellyband, his pale arms tightly grasping the shell, lying on top of me.

  The little boy's face was pale with fear, his whole body drenched. After a moment, he saw me and his eyes widened in shock. Through the hard shell, we stared at each other for a long time. He shuddered and trembled, asking: "What are you?"

  "Father is a human! Not a thing!" I said lazily, because the sound of the waves was too loud and there was a hard shell in between, the little boy didn't hear my voice. He looked tense, shaking all over, and shouted: "I'm Xiaoye, I'm a master of Jia Yu technique! You, you'd better not have any bad ideas!"

  I'm delighted! Is this the great Aoyi master, so pathetic? Can't even speak properly. And he still dares to call himself Young Master, I'm your ancestor!

  The storm was getting more and more violent, the sea waves were surging up and down, the little boy was vigilantly staring at me, but he didn't dare to let go of the hard shell, afraid of falling into the sea again. Looking at his innocent face, I put my mind at ease, not afraid that he would harm me. According to my estimation, he was probably separated from the adults when they went out to sea, encountered a storm, and was swept away by the waves, coincidentally bumping into my hard shell.

  The surroundings were pitch black, with thousands of snow-white giant waves rising into the air, their momentum frightening. The little boy's face turned pale, one hand tightly hugging his shell, the other guarding against me as if facing a great enemy. The storm raged on for an entire night before gradually subsiding, the rain weakening to a faint drizzle, and the sky taking on a pale blue hue at dawn.

  The little boy almost collapsed on the hard shell, panting for a long time before straightening up, carefully examining me for a while, and then asked: "Are you mute?" The black eyes curiously rotated, it can be seen that he was no longer afraid of me.

  I didn't utter a word, and the little boy's courage grew even bolder. He shouted: "What are you doing hiding in this tortoise shell? Practicing? But looking at your appearance, your magic isn't much better either."

  I still didn't respond to him, and the little boy shouted again: "It seems you're really dumb, alas, pitiful." He shook his head and let out a sympathetic sigh.

  I was both angry and amused, the little boy wiped his face with water, looked around, and muttered to himself: "The rainstorm has finally stopped, my dad and sister should be able to find me now."

  "Can't find it!" I teased him on purpose.

  "Huh? You can talk?" The little boy was startled.

  "Of course I can speak," I muttered.

  The little boy sprang up, his left arm pointing straight at me, his face beet red. After a while, his left hand gradually transformed into the shape of a sword blade.

  "What's with the Buki Aikido?" I blurted out, the young boy's Buki Aikido was unorthodox, his palm only half transformed into a sword blade, the other half still being a fleshly palm, and the blade was still dull, his mastery of Buki Aikido was far inferior to mine.

  The young boy proudly raised his head: "I didn't think you knew the art of armed defense, you're quite knowledgeable. Hmph, if you dare to harm anyone, I'll use my armed defense skills to take your life!"

  I burst out laughing. Does this little scamp think he can hurt me with that rotten sword of his? Relying on my hard shell to protect myself, I teased: "If you've got the guts, then go ahead and make a move."

  The little boy hesitated for a moment, then said: "You didn't hurt me, why would I want to kill you? Oh, are you thinking of killing yourself but don't have the guts, so you want me to do it for you?" He became more and more pleased with himself as he spoke: "You must have been dumped by a woman, right? Just looking at your expression tells me that. Haha, when my sister scolded Big Tiger Brother, Big Tiger Brother said he was so heartbroken he wanted to die."

  I almost fainted, this kid is simply absurd and self-entertaining. However, after drifting alone at sea for seven days, it's not bad to have someone to talk to. I curiously asked: "What's your name? Why are you out at sea alone?"

  "I'm Huashengguo, I went out to sea with Grandpa, Sister and Big Tiger Brother yesterday. I slipped down from the boat alone, dived into the water to catch a big sea beast, but swam too far and got lost in the storm."

  What a weird name, peanut fruit? I'm starving after seven days, and I really want to eat some peanut fruit to fill my stomach.

  The peanut fruit said with a big smile: "You don't look like a bad person, by the way, what's your name? Which sect are you from?"

  "My surname is Lin and my name is Fei, I have no sect or school." I asked back: "Which sect are you from?"

  Peanut Fruit puffed out chest: "My sect's name will scare you to death! It is the famous, thunderous, and renowned 'Bing Qi Jia Yu Pai' from Luo Sheng Tian!"

  I secretly thought that the old lady's "Bingqi Aoyu" manual must have been stolen from this school, and I started to think of a way to get to the bottom of Huashengguo's story. After chatting for half a day, I finally figured it out. The Bingqi Aoyu school's manual had gone missing many years ago, and everyone in the school suspected that one of their own people was responsible. Because Huashengguo's grandfather, Huashengpi, was on guard duty that night, he became the object of suspicion. In a fit of anger, Huashengpi left the Bingqi Aoyu school and came to live alone in Hongchentian. Recently, the head of the Bingqi Aoyu school, who is also Huashengpi's former senior fellow apprentice, found them and said that it was all just a misunderstanding back then. He specially invited Huashengpi and his family to return to the Bingqi Aoyu school, and they agreed to meet in Dacheng City in Hongchentian.

  "This time, the Heiroyu sect also sent us many gifts, and Grandfather only replied to return them." The peanut fruit was proud of itself.

  I couldn't help but laugh at how clever it was. The descendant of the book thief was right next to him, and he had no idea.

  Looking up at the scorching sun, Hua Shengguo let out a yawn and said tiredly, "Grandpa and the others should have arrived by now, right?"

  On the sea surface, the bright sunlight suddenly darkened, and my eyes became blurry. The voice of Huasheng Guo also became lighter and lighter. I immediately understood that the seven-day limit was about to pass, my five senses began to close, and the time for ascending to heaven had arrived.

  I immediately got excited, this time in Colorful Sky, I don't know how long I can stay, but I must seize the opportunity to grab more treasures.

  Suddenly, a piece of darkness appeared in my field of vision. In the depths of the darkness, it seemed that a door slowly opened, and a faint light seeped out from the gap between the doors. Although my senses were sealed off, I could still see this scene with my heart, and the feeling was exceptionally mysterious. And this time, the feeling before flying up was also completely different from the first time I flew up.

  My soul seemed to have left my body, floating up and slowly flying towards that door. The door opened bit by bit, the light grew brighter and brighter, I flew in, and the big gate slammed shut behind me!

  Dazzling light, a dazzling array of colors has captivated me, and I'm spinning along with the colorful lights. The sky and earth seem to be spinning as well, constantly producing a kaleidoscope of scenery. I don't know how many rounds I've spun, when suddenly there's a loud "boom" and everything around me comes to an abrupt standstill, ceasing all movement.

  I entered the Realm of Desire Heaven.
