"No need to see me off!" Ye Chen responded coolly.
Although Yang Longfei was outstanding in martial arts, Ye Chen was not afraid of him at all at this point. His Amplification Skill could explode with twelve times the combat power, along with the Secret Technique of Dragon Elephant Overturning the Heavens—if he burst forth, Yang Longfei probably couldn't match him.
However, Ye Chen wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately. Since Yang Longfei was unaware of his existence initially, and Zhang Xinlan had deliberately plotted against him, it was she who almost lured Yang Longfei into trying to kill him.
But after Ye Chen appeared, this man immediately recognized the situation and was quite friendly towards him, so Ye Chen couldn't rudely make a move.
Nonetheless, since Yang Longfei had some ulterior motives towards Zhang Xinlan, it was unlikely that Ye Chen would be pleasant towards him.
In the end, Ye Chen intimidated Yang Longfei into leaving, and throughout the encounter, this prominent figure maintained a very low profile.
In Yang Longfei's view, Ye Chen was even more formidable than the rumors suggested, possessing a combat strength not weaker than his own!
Moreover, Ye Chen was far too young. If he could continue to grow, he would definitely reach a celestial level of existence. Such a person, Yang Longfei couldn't afford to offend!
"You really are amazing! Yang Longfei is a man of great means, yet your mere appearance has scared him away!" Zhang Xinlan said.
"After all this time, are you still unwilling to forgive me?" Ye Chen asked.
"I understand you're resentful, and I can wait for you to forgive me, but why do you have to humiliate yourself just to disgust me!"
Ye Chen was really disgusted. Zhang Xinlan actually thought about luring a strong person to plot against him, which made him not only feel disgusted but also angry.
"I've said before, I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!" Zhang Xinlan said hatefully.
"Come on, come home with me, and I'll let you eat meat and drink blood!" Ye Chen grabbed Zhang Xinlan, intending to drag her home to properly punish her.
"Get lost!" Zhang Xinlan shook off Ye Chen's hand.
"..."
Ye Chen was angry. Zhang Xinlan was too disobedient, not only seeking someone to kill him but also disrespecting him.
"I'm already like this, and you still think about tormenting me?"
Zhang Xinlan knew what Ye Chen meant, but seeing the scars on her body made her heart ache a bit.
"Even like this, I don't despise you!" Ye Chen said earnestly.
"I despise!" Zhang Xinlan snapped. "Every time I see these scars, I am reminded of you, reminded of Liu Shihua, reminded of your betrayal, and these scars ache!"
"Come home, and I'll treat you. In less than a week, the scars on your body will disappear," Ye Chen said. "You have to believe me, I am the Divine Doctor, I even cured your best friend's infertility!"
"Just seeing you disgusts me, now get lost!" Zhang Xinlan said coldly.
"Zhang Xinlan, don't go too far. Every time I come to see you, you scold me and tell me to get lost. Can't you give me one chance to start anew?" Ye Chen also became angry.
"Haven't I given you a chance to start anew? But have you ever treasured the opportunity I gave you?" Zhang Xinlan scoffed coldly. "So, get lost!"
"Just forgive me this once, and I'll know to change!" Ye Chen said, somewhat shamefacedly.
"Nonsense!" Zhang Xinlan said. "Don't think I don't know that you've been staying at Li Yan's house these days!"
"..." Ye Chen was thinking seriously about who might have informed Zhang Xinlan.
In the end, Ye Chen wasn't driven away by Zhang Xinlan. Since soft tactics didn't work, he had to employ hard ones. Ye Chen must take Zhang Xinlan away.
...
In the deep waters off the eastern coast of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, several fishing boats were drifting, fishing in the area.
The sky was growing dark, and the sea was covered in thick fog, with fine raindrops floating in the air, and the sea breeze made people feel a bit cold.
"It's really strange today; the fishing boats haven't caught a single fish!"
A big-bearded middle-aged man, wrapped in a leather coat, stood on the plank of the fishing boat, gazing at the sea shrouded in dense fog.
"My fishing boat is one of the top two in size, with dozens of sailors working up and down. Every time we go out to sea, we haul back hundreds of tons of sea fish, making a huge profit!"
"What happened today? The sailors have cast the nets several times and haven't caught a single fish!"
"The nets coming up empty, this is just too bizarre!"
"This area is known for its plentiful fish. Even if the nets don't capture the schools of fish in the sea, they shouldn't come back empty!"
"Strange, really strange!"
The big-bearded man faced the vast expanse of the sea, looking at the thick sea fog covering the water, his brows tightly furrowed. This matter was a bit too unusual.
He was not a newcomer to this sea area, where the underwater fish population was abundant, and he always returned with a full load.
Today's occurrence was abnormal, and even for a sea captain with over ten years of experience, it was the first time he had ever encountered such an event.
The fishing nets on the boat were enormous; encountering a school of fish would typically allow them to capture more than ten tons of sea fish in one go!
However, today, the big-bearded man had cast his nets several times, and each time, not a single fish was caught—this truly was bizarre!
Even if the fishing nets didn't catch a school of fish, they usually brought up a few hundred pounds of scattered fish; it was impossible for the nets to come back completely empty.
Could there be a monster in the sea that scared away all the fish? This thought made the big-bearded man's blood run cold.
"Captain, I've been in touch by phone with several other fishing boats nearby!"
Just then, someone ran up to the deck and shouted to the big-bearded man.
"How's it going?" the burly man with the big beard demanded loudly.
"They're just like us; they've cast their nets dozens of times and haven't caught a single fish. It's as if all the fish in this ocean have died out!"
"What!"
The big-bearded man was shocked, a horrified expression washing over his face. He had a foreboding feeling.
"Xiao Er, hurry back to the cabin, wake up the sleeping brothers, and also those who are playing cards and drinking. Tell them we need to return immediately!" the big-bearded man bellowed.
"Why's that?" Xiao Er asked, puzzled. "We're supposed to be at sea for half a month, yet we are leaving on the first day?"
"Trouble's brewing!"
"I think there's something in the ocean that has scared all the fish in this area away!" said the big-bearded man gravely.
"But if we leave now, won't you end up paying dearly, Captain?" Xiao Er asked.
The scale of this fishing boat was large, and so were the expenses. Labor costs, fuel costs, and miscellaneous expenses all added up to several hundred thousand for each sea venture.
"Stop talking nonsense; our lives are almost gone, let alone money!" the big-bearded man roared. "Quickly get the brothers to retreat, and I'll contact the other fishing boats' captains to inform them as well!"
"Understood, Captain!"
Xiao Er ran back to the cabin, called the sailors, and began the journey back.
The big-bearded captain had a grim expression as he proceeded to contact other captains from the cabin's communication room.
Eventually, every fishing boat anchored here headed back, as the events of today were too bizarre.
These captains, seasoned seafarers who had grown up by the sea, had heard numerous legends about the ocean.
Rumor had it that in the deepest part of this sea area, there lurked a gigantic Turtle God!
This Turtle God would emerge once every few decades, drifting in the ocean, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. Each appearance of the Turtle God would scare away the fish in the area!
However, no one had ever seen the Turtle God; it remained just a legend.
Yet today, a rare fog rose from the sea, and the fish underwater disappeared, which made the captains of the few fishing boats nervous.
Whenever something aberrant occurs, there must be demons at play!
The captains knew of the Turtle God legend, but they were unsure of its existence.
However, the abnormal events that occurred at sea today were so extraordinary that all the seafarers, who depended on the ocean for their livelihood, harbored a deep reverence for the vast sea. Thus, the captains unanimously decided to retreat.
However, just as the fishing boats were forcefully heading back, the sea area suddenly underwent violent tremors.
The sea area experienced unimaginable turmoil, with fierce winds and towering waves, nearly capsizing the retreating fishing boats.
Then, those on the fishing boats witnessed an incredible sight: deep in this sea area, a beam of silver light surged toward the sky, immensely vast and brilliantly dazzling, illuminating the entire area!
The seas roared, and the waves towered. In the deepest part of the ocean, it seemed as though a huge landmass had surfaced, resembling a gigantic turtle's shell.
"Holy smokes! The Turtle God has appeared, it really exists!"
Standing on the deck, the big-bearded captain's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Good heavens, the Turtle God truly exists, this divine being has actually surfaced to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon!"
"Crap, I need to take a photo of the Turtle God with my phone, to show my mom, my dad, my grandma, and my grandpa when I get home!"
"Quick, get the binoculars..."
Not just the big-bearded captain but everyone on these few fishing boats saw this incredible scene, and some were so excited they felt like their lungs would burst!
The dazzling light, coming from nowhere, soared into the sky, illuminating the sea area, and that floating landmass looked exactly like a huge turtle's shell, which definitely signified the emergence of the Turtle God!
"The Turtle God has appeared, everyone hurry up and kneel and bow. As long as we let the Turtle God feel our devotion, it will surely bless us!"
"Quick, kneel!"
The waves grew larger, and people aboard the boat knelt on the deck, worshipping the Turtle God that had emerged!
...
The huge upheaval in the depths of the ocean alerted the powerful beings on this land.
The emergence of a mystical cave released an awe-inspiringly majestic aura, an energy only Martial Arts Grandmasters could sense!
This aura had no effect on ordinary people, but for martial artists, it was fatally attractive.
Suddenly, numerous Grandmasters appeared, soaring across the skies toward the ocean, as the great power's cave had finally emerged!
...
In a secret underground base in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, the few hundred special operatives stationed there were also alerted by the disturbance deep in the sea.
"The cave has finally emerged; all teams, start moving quickly!"
Upon hearing the immediate shout from a superior, the roar reverberated through the vast underground base.
Accompanying the roar, every operative in the base began to busily move with urgency.
