After chatting with the little boy for a while, Chu Feng entered the gates of the Azure Dragon Sect. However, once inside, he did not linger.
This was because Chu Feng had received news that Chu Guyu, Chu Yue, and the rest of the Chu Family, along with the Dragon Daoist, Li Changqing, Zhuge Liuyun, the Demon Monkey King, and all the other seniors familiar to Chu Feng, were no longer at the Azure Dragon Sect.
Word had it that they had already departed for the Holy Land of Martial Cultivation, and had been gone for quite some time. They had gone there to advance their cultivation, but exactly how they intended to do so, even those remaining 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 stay.
After all, the whole reason he had returned to the Lower Realm of the Ancestral Martial World was to visit those old friends.
So Chu Feng headed back toward the Eastern Sea Region. But rather than going directly to the Ethereal Immortal Peak, he made his way to a blood-red sea. This sea bore a striking name — the Infinite Blood Sea.
The reason Chu Feng had come here was that this place held an unforgettable memory for him.
Back then, at the Infinite Blood Sea, Chu Feng had met 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 hardships with Chu Feng.
Because of that, Chu Feng had formed an extraordinary bond with a girl who was so much younger than him.
Later, Little Fishy had left, and she herself had said she would never return.
Chu Feng had once speculated that Little Fishy might have been connected to that giant hand that tore through the void — that she might not have belonged to this world at all, and that she was truly from beyond the heavens.
Though their time together had been brief, if given the chance, Chu Feng would very much like to see that little girl from back then once more.
By now, that tiny child must have grown into a young beauty.
"I never would have guessed that little girl holds such a place in your heart," the Queen said to Chu Feng.
After arriving at this place, Chu Feng had fallen into a long silence. Although she could not see through his eyes, she could share his vision and hearing. Everywhere Chu Feng looked was a place where Little Fishy had once appeared.
The Queen could sense the depth of Chu Feng's longing for Little Fishy.
"Little Fishy is like a younger sister to me. After so many years apart, it's only natural to miss her," Chu Feng replied honestly, making no effort to hide it.
Yes, a sister. To Chu Feng, Little Fishy was just like his own little sister.
"So what if you miss her? That little girl's whereabouts are a complete mystery now," the Queen said.
"Hm? Something about your tone doesn't sound right. My Queen, could it be that you're jealous?" Chu Feng said with a grin.
"Jealous? Psh — you're really overthinking things."
"When has this Queen ever been jealous of anyone? And besides, I actually quite like that little girl Fishy. You think you're the only one who misses her? This Queen misses her too," the Queen said with a pout.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's heart went cold.
That was right. When had the Queen ever been jealous?
The Queen had been by Chu Feng's side through practically his entire journey of growth. And along the way, forget being jealous of other women — whenever she saw a beautiful girl that caught her eye, she would immediately play matchmaker and egg Chu Feng on to pursue her.
