After chatting with the little boy for a while,
He had received word that
It was said that they had already departed for the Martial Sacred Land and had been gone for quite some time. They had gone there to advance their cultivation, though exactly how they intended to do so, even those who remained at the Azure Dragon Sect had no idea.
Since none of his old acquaintances were here, there was naturally no reason for Chu Feng to linger.
After all, the whole point of his return to the Lower Realm of Ancestral Martial was to visit those old friends.
And so, Chu Feng headed back toward the
This sea bore an unforgettable name — the Boundless Blood Sea.
The reason Chu Feng had come here was that it held a memory he could never forget.
Long ago, at the Boundless Blood Sea, Chu Feng had encountered a little girl. Her name was Little Fishy.
Little Fishy's origins were a mystery, yet she was far from ordinary. Despite being nothing more than a child, she had been willing to share his hardships.
Because of that, Chu Feng had formed an extraordinary bond with a girl so much younger than himself.
Later, Little Fishy had left, and she had said with her own lips that she would never return.
Chu Feng had once suspected that Little Fishy might have been connected to that enormous hand that had torn through the void — that she might not have belonged to this world at all, and that she truly belonged to the realm beyond the heavens.
Although their time together had been brief, if the chance arose, Chu Feng would very much like to see that little girl from back then once more.
By now, the little child he remembered had surely grown into a young beauty.
"I really didn't expect that little girl to hold such a place in your heart," the Queen said to Chu Feng.
Ever since arriving here, Chu Feng had fallen into a long silence. Though she could not see through his eyes, she shared his senses — his sight and hearing.
Every direction Chu Feng gazed held a place where Little Fishy had once appeared.
The Queen could feel the longing Chu Feng held for Little Fishy.
"That little girl, Little Fishy — she's like my little sister. After not seeing her for so many years, of course I miss her," Chu Feng answered honestly, making no attempt to hide it.
Indeed, a little sister. To Chu Feng, Little Fishy was just like his own.
"And what good does missing her do? That little girl's whereabouts are unknown now," the Queen said.
"Hm? Something about the way you said that sounds off. My dear Queen, could you possibly be jealous?" Chu Feng said with a grin.
"Jealous? Bah! You're really overthinking things."
"When has this Queen ever been jealous of anyone? Besides, I actually quite like that little girl, Little Fishy. You think you're the only one who misses her? I miss her too," the Queen said with a pout.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's heart instead turned ice-cold.
That was right. The Queen — when had she ever been jealous?
The Queen had been with Chu Feng since he was young, growing alongside him all this time. And throughout their journey together, far from ever being jealous of other women, she would even play matchmaker the moment she spotted a beautiful girl that caught her eye, egging Chu Feng on to pursue her.
