Lu Yin sized her up. "It's easy for you to lose friends if you talk like that."
"You're not worthy," Hai Qiqi replied bluntly. She then walked to the waterfall and paddled in distress.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and retorted, "Let me tell you, even if the Sea King forces you, you won't have me."
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Narcissism is an illness that needs to be treated."
"I have medicine."
"For narcissism?"
"For you."
"My illness is that I'm too benevolent. I actually let you onto my ship." Hai Qiqi grit her teeth.
"Fine, here's your medicine. Eat it, it's for your benevolence." Lu Yin spread out his hands and tossed a pile of mud to her.
Hai Qiqi was furious, and she glared at Lu Yin. "Let me tell you, even if my father wants me to marry you, I won't agree. Give up! Don't even think about boarding the ship that is the Sea King's Dome."
Lu Yin seriously replied, "I think so too. What do you think I should do to get your father to agree to me breaking off the engagement?"
Hai Qiqi's eyes lit up. "You want to break off the engagement?"
Lu Yin nodded with a serious expression.
Hai Qiqi was delighted. "That's great!" Suddenly, she felt that something was amiss, and her expression turned ugly. "You're breaking off the engagement?
What a joke! I'm the one breaking off the engagement! I came here to talk to you about this. "
"Go on," Lu Yin casually said.
Hai Qiqi moved closer. "It's actually very simple. I just need to make two cuts on your face and disfigure it. My father won't allow me to marry someone without good looks."
Lu Yin was surprised. "You're saying that my looks pass?"
"That's not the point. Also, your looks don't pass."
Lu Yin sneered. "Don't deny it. Your eyes have already revealed everything."
"You- you're spouting nonsense! Shameless!" Hai Qiqi was furious.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "Alright, contact Hai Dashao for me. I'll think of a way to end this ridiculous marriage."
"Really?" Hai Qiqi did not believe him. "Impossible! You're lying! No one would refuse to become the Sea King's son-in-law."
"You think too highly of the Sea King's Dome. I don't care." Lu Yin raised his head.
Hai Qiqi still didn't believe him, but she had no other choice. "Alright, remember what you said." With that, she patted her butt and left.
Although this girl was the princess of the Sea King's Dome, she didn't put on any airs. Although she had a vicious tongue, she was still much better than some of the other women who thought of themselves as noble and virtuous.
Only the Sea King could raise such a daughter.
Not long after, Hai Dashao arrived. His face was cold, and there was even a hint of arrogance in it. This was the attitude that a descendant of the Sea King's Dome should have.
"What's the matter?"
Hai Dashao asked coldly. He did not like Lu Yin at all, and this was because Lu Yin and Mu Rong had tried to slip away before Che Han could pull out the Sea King's Trident. In Hai Dashao's eyes, this was disrespectful to the Sea King's Dome.
Lu Yin asked, "The Sea King wants me to become his son-in-law?"
Hai Dashao's face sank. "What? Is the princess of the Sea King's Dome not good enough for you?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "You've misunderstood. Since I'm the Sea King's son-in-law, my safety should be guaranteed."
"Nonsense."
"Alright. I hope that the Sea King's Dome can help me get rid of a few people. It's precisely because I'm trying to avoid them that I'm here," Lu Yin said.
Hai Dashao frowned. "You're talking about Feng Mo and the Bo Duo."
Lu Yin was not surprised that Hai Dashao had been able to find out. When he had pulled out the Sea King's Trident, all of his information should have been reported to the upper echelons of the Sea King's Dome. Aside from a few secret matters, nothing else could be hidden from the Sea King's Dome.
"They've already left the Sea King's Dome, and you can't go anywhere until you become an Explorer. Thus, they won't be a threat to you. Even if you meet them outside, they won't dare to make a move against someone from the Sea King's Dome," Hai Dashao proudly stated.
"But I still have friends."
"They have nothing to do with the Sea King's Dome," Hai Dashao coldly replied before turning to leave. "Remember, I haven't acknowledged your identity, and neither have the Sea King's Dome. Unless you're truly the Sea King's son-in-law, you're not allowed to use any of the Sea King's Dome's resources, including protecting your friends." He then disappeared.
Lu Yin felt helpless, as he had known that it would not be that easy. If there was really no other choice, then he would have Big Pao and Little Pao remain at the Sea King's Dome while the rest of them left. Even if they ran into Feng Mo and the others, it would be fine, as they all had powerful backgrounds.
Within the Starfall Sea, a small radiant-grade spacecraft left the Sea King's Dome at top speed, rushing towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea. Inside the spacecraft were Feng Mo and the Bo Duo.
The moment Lu Yin had pulled out the Sea King's Trident, the three had immediately distanced themselves, regardless of whether they had been acknowledged by the Sea King's Dome or not. After surviving in the universe for so long, they would not place themselves in danger.
At this moment, the three of them felt extremely conflicted, especially Feng Mo. He had chased Lu Yin's group from Chaos Flowzone all the way to the Starfall Sea, and he had thought that his mission was in the bag. However, not only had an accident occurred midway, but Lu Yin had also become the Sea King's son-in-law. He felt like there was no one he could reason with.
For the sake of leaving as soon as possible, the three had even abandoned Feng Mo's personal spacecraft. They had boarded Deep Crimson Hall's only radiant-grade spacecraft and fled.
"If we could have dealt with these people outside the Starfall Sea, then we wouldn't have ended up in this situation," Bo Junior said angrily.
Bo Senior immediately glared at him. "Shut up."
Not too far away, Feng Mo's eyes were cold as he stared at the Sea King's Dome, which had long since disappeared. He clenched his fists, as this was a humiliation to him. He had failed to kill a group of juniors, and this was not just a humiliation to him, but also to the Relentless Slayers. When he thought about how Lu Yin had blocked one of his attacks, he could not help but feel uneasy.
Bo Senior walked behind Feng Mo. "Mr. Feng, this was just a coincidence. Please don't take it to heart."
Feng Mo coldly replied, "It's a fact that we didn't complete the mission." He then looked at Bo Senior. "It's not that easy to become the Sea King's son-in-law. During the Sea King's son-in-law selection, those who qualified based on their looks were all fooled by the Sea King. With the Sea King's personality, it's almost impossible for Lu Yin to become his son-in-law. Let me ask you, do you want to capture him?"
Before Bo Senior could speak, Bo Junior hurriedly answered, "Of course! Only by capturing him can we answer to the Blackbeard Pirates. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive in Chaos Flowzone, and we might even be hunted down for the rest of our lives."
Feng Mo's gaze was cold. "Then we'll wait in the Starfall Sea."
"But we don't know which direction they'll leave in," Bo Senior said.
Feng Mo replied, "My Relentless Slayers will send people to monitor the Sea King's Dome's harbor. The moment they leave, they'll report back to me. We'll head to the centermost route, and we'll have enough time to intercept them."
"Alright, we'll listen to Mr. Feng. Don't worry, as long as we capture Lu Yin, we'll immediately hand that item over to you as a reward," Bo Senior said softly.
Feng Mo's eyes blazed, and he nodded without saying anything.
At the bottom of the small spacecraft, a black shadow crawled and stuck close to the spacecraft. Feng Mo and the Bo Duo did not notice that there was someone hiding beneath their feet.
Two days had passed, and Lu Yin had already spoken to Michelle and the others. The Sea King's Dome was determined not to help them, but there was nothing they could do. In the end, Big Pao and Little Pao decided to stay at the Sea King's Dome while Michelle and the others decided to leave.
Big Pao was reluctant to part with Lulu, as she was too rich and straightforward. With money, everything was simple. Why hadn't he built a good relationship with Lulu back at the academy?
This was Big Pao's greatest regret.
Xia Luo reminded Lu Yin once again to not forget about their agreement at the Cosmic Sea.
However, it would not be that easy for them to leave. They had come via the Sea King's Dome, and if they wanted to leave, they would have to either take a merchant ship from the Sea King's Dome or buy a coated spacecraft.
Lulu was very rich and did not care about money, but that did not mean that she liked to waste money. They already had a radiant-grade spacecraft, and buying another one would be too wasteful. Thus, the group decided to wait for a merchant ship to head to the Starfall Sea's entrance. They did not know how long it would take, but it should be within a few days.
Over the past few days, news that Lu Yin was about to become the Sea King's son-in-law began to spread throughout the universe.
The Starfall Sea's waters submerged the heavens, and a spacecraft could travel through the water as well as the surface of the sea.
Feng Mo and the Bo Duo had already reached the center of the Starfall Sea. As long as Lu Yin and the others set off from the Sea King's Dome, they would be able to intercept them no matter which direction they took.
Three Hunters were trying to capture a Limiteer, and as long as the Sea King's Dome did not interfere, no one would be able to save them.
The Bo Duo did not have the time to think too much, as the Blackbeard Pirates were like a blade that could fall at any moment.
The small spacecraft was not large, but it was enough to accommodate dozens of people. Bo Junior looked up at the sky and quietly cultivated as he absorbed a boundless amount of star energy into his body. He also held a star essence in his palm.
He had a power level of 110,000, and his body needed to absorb more than 6,000 star essence to complete a cycle in order to maintain his life. Otherwise, he would enter a period of exhaustion. With his current rate of star energy absorption, it was impossible for him to rely on just absorbing it. He could only rely on star essence.
In fact, this was also the method that most space-exploring powerhouses chose, as the amount of star energy in the universe was not enough for them to maintain their lives.
Fortunately, completing a cycle took a few dozen years, and as long as he could absorb enough star energy during that time, it would not be too difficult for him to complete.
Only a few people with extraordinary innate gifts could easily enter a period of exhaustion because they progressed too quickly and needed to work hard to earn more star essence. Mr. Feng's innate gift was much stronger than theirs, and he had a power level of 150,000. He could complete a cycle in less than ten years, so he needed to earn enough star essence to maintain his life.
Sometimes, having a little bit of innate gift was a good thing. Without a background, the stronger one's innate gift, the easier it was for them to die at the space-exploring realm.
It should be known that once one entered a period of exhaustion, their entire being would change, and no one would be willing to enter that state.
Bo Junior collected his thoughts and tried his best to remain calm. Not far below him, a figure suddenly opened his eyes at the bottom of the spacecraft. A black stream of air flowed through the cracks in the spacecraft and gradually appeared in Bo Junior's room.
The next moment, the spacecraft sounded an alarm, and Feng Mo, Bo Senior, and Bo Junior all stood up in bewilderment. This kind of alarm meant that there was a powerful enemy nearby.
Suddenly, Bo Junior's pupils shrank as he saw the black stream of air behind him through the metal. It was like the color of a grim reaper, and it wrapped around his legs. His entire body went cold, and he reflexively reacted. A pale face appeared in front of him, completely devoid of blood. Its pupils were deathly pale, and they formed a strange pattern.
