"Have you seen the news that has been making headlines around the world recently? It's about the death of Lin Tianming, the top genius from Jiuzhou!"

"Of course, I've seen it! I watched the entire Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition. Lin Tianming was truly brilliant, I thought he was going to be the strongest in the future, but to think he was killed by a demon attack on the plane back to Jiuzhou, it's such a pity!"

"My Black Thunder God, so strong and handsome, yet to die so young... I'm so heartbroken... When I saw the news of his death... I cried all night!"

"It's said that Black Thunder God encountered a top-level demon attack on the plane while returning to Jiuzhou. Because the space on the plane was limited, even the top awakened could not use their full power due to fear of crashing. Lin Tianming saved several Jiuzhou students continuously, but unexpectedly, he was captured by that demon... The Jiuzhou officials searched the nearby sea and sky area where he was lost for three days and nights, to no avail, and finally had to declare him dead."

"No news for three days and nights... that definitely means he perished... That was at ten thousand meters high... and captured by a top-level demon... he must be gone... what a pity... such a genius lost like this!"

Lin Tianming fought against the top-level demon, Magic Feathered Eagle Man, and on the third day after he fell into the sea, due to the fruitless search, the Jiuzhou officials finally had to announce his death.

Suddenly, this news shocked the world.

Most people mourned the loss of Lin Tianming, the first-place winner of the global competition.

But a few relished the disaster, feeling that a future threat to their status was gone.

Sakura Island, White Whale Port.

Lianghua stayed alone on the deserted shoreline for three days and nights.

During these three days and nights, she constantly checked the news about Lin Tianming.

She had become much more haggard because of it.

From the first day of Lin Tianming's misfortune, she had been following all the search and rescue news.

But still, today, the Jiuzhou officials announced Lin Tianming's death after their search turned up nothing.

"Why did it happen like this... Ming Jun... you promised we'd meet in a week at the Great Emperor Academy... why..."

Hot tears filled her swollen eyes, and Lianghua found it difficult to accept the news of Lin Tianming's death.

"It shouldn't have been like this... in the last life, Ming Jun didn't die so soon... I planned to go to Jiuzhou in a week to stay by his side and protect him, I didn't expect his time of death to come so much earlier in this life..."

Lianghua sobbed while gazing at the sea in the night.

"How I wish you hadn't died... to return from the sea under this moonlit night..."

She muttered to herself, speaking words that were unrealistic.

At that moment, from the deep sea area in the distance, an ethereal sound was heard.

This ethereal sound, like the song of the sea, was melodious and pleasant, bringing peace to the listener's heart and soul.

"This is... the voice of the Sea Emperor!"

Upon hearing this sound, Lianghua recognized it as the voice of the Sea Emperor.

At that moment, she also recalled the origin of White Whale Port.

The Sea Emperor, although the guardian of the Jiuzhou Sea Area,

Sometimes it would also descend to Sakura Island.

And this White Whale Port, was the only Sakura Island port visited by the Sea Emperor.

Because the Sea Emperor's beautiful form resembled a white whale, the port was thus named White Whale Port.

Symbolizing a port favored by the Sea Emperor.

Although seeing the seldom-visited Sea Emperor of Sakura Island was a very joyous occasion,

Thinking of her beloved young man, who perished young just like in his previous life, Lianghua's pretty face was still filled with sadness.

Under the moonlit night, the purely beautiful white silhouette of the Sea Emperor leaped from under the sea, following an elegant dive.

"The guardian of this sea area… If only you could bring back the young man I most dream of seeing..."

"What am I unrealistically fantasizing about?"

Just after making an unrealistic wish to the Sea Emperor, Lianghua laughed mockingly at herself.

She continued to gaze out at the ocean and noticed the back of the Sea Emperor emerging from the water, steadily approaching her.

"Strange… even in Jiuzhou East Sea City, the Sea Emperor has never approached the coast this closely… what's happening tonight?"

As Lianghua watched in puzzled fascination, the Sea Emperor maintained its back above the water and kept swimming towards the shore.

And as the Sea Emperor drew closer to Lianghua, she saw what seemed to be a person lying on its back.

"Is there someone lying on the back of the Sea Emperor… It… does it want me to retrieve that person?"

Seemingly hearing Lianghua's murmur, the Sea Emperor emitted another ethereal sound in response.

Stopping near the area close to the port, the Sea Emperor didn't advance any further.

Hesitating momentarily, Lianghua still left the coast and quickly ran toward the increasingly deep water.

Soon, she arrived in front of the Sea Emperor.

"May I come up?"

Lianghua asked the Sea Emperor with a somewhat anxious heart.

Even in Jiuzhou East Sea City, she had never been this close to the Sea Emperor, so she was a bit afraid that her actions might offend it.

The Sea Emperor nodded, allowing her to climb onto its back and take away the person lying there.

With the Sea Emperor's permission, Lianghua was also curious about who exactly was on its back and climbed directly onto it.

The moment she climbed up, she froze.

"This is…"

In her incredulous gaze, lying on the back of the Sea Emperor was the young man of her dreams.

"Ming Jun? He… he's not dead?"

This young man was Lin Tianming!

However, at this moment, he was in a sleeping state.

"Am I… am I hallucinating because I miss Ming Jun so much?"

Doubting her own eyes, Lianghua rubbed her tear-reddened eyes and leaned closer to the young man to look carefully again.

After repeatedly scrutinizing him for a long while and still seeing the exceptionally handsome face she knew so well, Lianghua gradually believed she wasn't hallucinating.

This was all real!

He… really wasn't dead!

At that moment, Lianghua's eyes once again brimmed with hot tears.

This time, they were tears of joy.

She sat on the back of the Sea Emperor, pulling Lin Tianming into her embrace, burying him into her chest.

"Ming Jun… thank goodness… It's so wonderful that you're still alive!"

Holding Lin Tianming and crying for a long while, Lianghua's overwhelming emotions gradually stabilized.

Thinking that the Sea Emperor had saved Lin Tianming, Lianghua immediately thanked him, "Sea Emperor, thank you for saving Ming Jun, for hearing my longing for him, and bringing him to me!"

The Sea Emperor also emitted an ethereal sound as a response.

The Sea Emperor, without needing Lianghua to personally take Lin Tianming back to the coast, enveloped the two of them in a pure white radiant glow, gently transporting them back to the shore.

Afterward, the Sea Emperor took an elegant leap under the moonlit night, heading towards the deepest part of the ocean.

Watching the beautiful figure of the Sea Emperor disappearing into the night from the shore, Lianghua's eyes were filled with gratitude and respect.

She bowed deeply toward the Sea Emperor.

"Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Lord Sea Emperor!"
