TRWSB – Chapter 150 The Sea King’s Secret

The Sea King’s Secret and the Tempestuous Encounter

Bi Liuyun stood on the deck of the boat, the sea breeze gently blowing, his long hair dancing in the wind.

Bathed in the sea breeze and surrounded by the vast blue sky and ocean, Bi Liuyun felt a refreshing clarity wash over him.

Hai Ling casually walked out, raising a cup towards Bi Liuyun and asking, “Would you like some wine?”

Bi Liuyun nodded and replied, “Sure!”

Hai Ling looked at him and asked, “Bi Qinshi, did you have any playmates when you were young?”

Bi Liuyun looked at Hai Ling, puzzled. “Why do you ask?”

“I’m just curious,” Hai Ling said.

“Yes, I had a little chubby friend. He was so clumsy that he accidentally fell into one of the traps I set. He cried, soaking wet, such a crybaby!” Bi Liuyun chuckled.

Hai Ling twitched his lips, thinking to himself: He was wet because he had come out of the sea to escape for his life, not because he was crying all over.

Hai Ling smiled and asked, “Was that little chubby one really so weak?”

Bi Liuyun nodded. “Yes, he was really fragile and scared of everything. When I said I’d feed him to the sea fish, he was trembling in fear, hahaha…”

Hai Ling’s face darkened. He thought to himself: Bi Liuyun is talking nonsense. No one would tremble in fear like that.

Bi Liuyun noticed Hai Ling’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Hai Ling smiled and said, “Nothing. By the way, would you like to hear a story about the Sea King’s Pearl?”

Bi Liuyun was slightly surprised. “The Sea King’s Pearl is a priceless treasure of the Sea Dragon Clan. Isn’t everything related to it supposed to be kept secret?”

Hai Ling nodded. “That’s true. However… the Sea King’s Pearl has been lost for many years, so its secret is no longer as important.”

Bi Liuyun silently muttered to himself, “Lies!” The Sea King’s Pearl was a treasure of the Sea Clan, so how could it not be important?

“Are you interested, Bi Qinshi?”

“Of course, I love secrets. If you’re willing to tell, I’m happy to listen,” Bi Liuyun replied. There was no harm in hearing it.

Hai Ling smiled mysteriously and said, “It’s said that the Sea King’s Pearl can help the Sea Dragon Clan’s experts reach the Saint level.”

Bi Liuyun smiled. This was already known as a secret of the Sea Dragon Clan, though he had heard it from his mother long ago. Still, he complimented Hai Ling, saying, “The Sea King’s Pearl really is impressive.”

“Others only know that the Sea King’s Pearl can help the Sea Dragon Clan level up to Saint level, but they don’t know how a single pearl can help someone achieve this.”

Hai Ling smiled mysteriously, and Bi Liuyun, sensing something ominous, felt a growing unease.

“In fact, the Sea King’s Pearl is used for dual cultivation,” Hai Ling revealed.

Bi Liuyun frowned, confused. “Dual cultivation?”

Hai Ling nodded. “Yes, because the Sea King’s Pearl is used for dual cultivation, it serves as a token of love between the Sea Dragon Clan and the Mermaid Clan.”

Bi Liuyun: “…”

“You’re telling me this, why?” Bi Liuyun stared deeply at Hai Ling.

“Just say it if you want to, there’s no need to ask why,” Hai Ling said.

Bi Liuyun: “…”

Hai Ling looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “When I was young, someone grabbed my dragon tail and said they wanted to cut it off and roast it.”

Bi Liuyun darkened, “Really?”

“I told him that when I grew up, I’d marry him and turn him into a flat fish!” Hai Ling chuckled.

Bi Liuyun: “…”

So it was… that little meatball! What a strange encounter in life! No wonder, Bi Liuyun had always felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw Hai Ling. At first, he thought it was because Hai Ling was so handsome, which made him lose his mind and have this mistaken impression.

Hai Ling noticed the change in Bi Liuyun’s expression and asked, “Bi Qinshi, are you alright?”

The sea wind howled, and Bi Liuyun coldly smiled. “I’m fine!”

Bi Liuyun crossed his arms behind his back, his fists clenched.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. The little boy he met on the island all those years ago turned out to be the young master of the Sea Dragon Clan. Back then, the boy was short and chubby, always crying. But now, after growing up, he looked quite presentable!

Hai Ling leaned in closer to Bi Liuyun and asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“What should I say?” Bi Liuyun looked at him in confusion.

Suddenly, the calm sea surface began to churn as a whirlpool grew larger, shaking the boat.

A mermaid leapt out of the whirlpool and landed on the deck.

As soon as the mermaid landed, her tail transformed into two legs.

Ariel, now on the boat, glared at Bi Liuyun with fury in her eyes.

Hai Ling, looking at Ariel, said in dissatisfaction, “Ariel, what are you doing here?”

Ariel snapped back, “I should be asking you the same thing! Why are you here?” She pointed at Bi Liuyun. “Hai Ling, why are you associating with such a lowly human?”

“Ariel, stop making a scene. Don’t you know that the Mermaid Clan can’t reveal themselves so easily?” Hai Ling said with a serious face.

“What does it matter? Just kill him,” Ariel said as she raised her magic staff to attack.

“Enough!” Hai Ling angrily grabbed Ariel’s wrist and threw her back into the water.

Bi Liuyun crossed his arms and looked at Hai Ling, chuckling. “After all these years, you’re still as rough as ever. I remember when I asked you to clean a fish, and you ended up turning it into meat paste, dissolving the bones in the water.”

Hai Ling: “…”

Shortly after Ariel fell into the water, the boat started shaking violently.

A shark suddenly collided with the bottom of the boat, creating a hole.

“The boat is about to capsize,” Bi Liuyun muttered as he brushed his hair. “Young Master sure has good foresight.” He had originally thought Hai Ling was overreacting, wondering how such a sturdy boat could capsize.

A column of water shot into the sky, and Ariel’s figure appeared above the water column.

“Hai Ling, you’re really treating me this way for a lowly human,” Ariel screamed, swinging her magic staff, summoning massive waves to crash onto the ship.

Hai Ling waved his hand, and the waves immediately dissipated.

Ariel, furious and embarrassed, shrieked, sending the sharks into a frenzy, causing them to attack the boat even more aggressively.

　　Bi Liuyun frowned, thinking: a jealous woman, really can’t be messed with!

　　With a wave of Hailing’s hand, a Sea King Scepter appeared in Hailing’s hand.

　　Hailing chopped the scepter towards the ship, and a burst of golden light radiated out, and the Mermaid Princess under the surface of the sea grunted and leapt into the sea.

　　Hai Ling looked at Ariel coldly and said unhappily, “Ariel, have you made enough noise!

　　Ariel waited for Hai Ling to look at her for a while, and then sank into the water full of anger.

　　Hailing turned around, looked at Bi Liuyun, and said, “Sorry.”

　　Biliuyun smiled and said lightly, “It’s nothing, the boat is sinking.”

　　Biliuyun took out a whistle and blew it gently, and a unicorn dressed as an angry man flew over from afar.

　　Bi Liuyun leapt onto the unicorn, his smile drifting, “Hailing, we’ll meet again.”

　　……

　　On the street.

　　Qi Shao Rong was leading the unicorn in a parade when the unicorn suddenly flew away.

　　Zhuang Hao looked at the direction where the unicorn left, frowned and said, “Little Flower, it flew towards the sea.”

　　Qi Shao Rong nodded and said, ”I gave a whistle to Bi Liuyun, so that Little Flower would hear the whistle and hurry over.”

　　Zhuang Hao rolled his eyes and said, “That’s right! Now that the unicorn is flying towards the sea, does it mean that Bi Liuyun and Hailings have fallen out!”

　　“It’s possible.” Qi Shaorong said.

　　Zhuang Hao smiled and said, “That’s so!

　　Qi Shao Rong looked at Zhuang Hao and said: “You look like you are very happy.

　　Zhuang Hao blinked innocently and said, “No, I’m not! How could I be happy?”

　　Qi Shao Rong: “……”

　　Zhuang Hao rubbed his nose and said, “He just thinks that it’s unfair that he’s chasing his daughter-in-law so hard, while everyone else is having a good time!

　　Qi Shao Rong squinted at Zhuang Hao and said, “You …… forget it, let’s go back to the city master’s mansion.”

　　Zhuang Hao nodded and said, “Good!

　　……

　　The rich unicorn carried Bi Liuyun and landed in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.

　　“Liuyun, why are you back so early?” Qi Shao Rong asked with a crooked head. Qi Shao Rong asked with a crooked head.

　　“I came back after the boat capsized.” Bi Liuyun said.

　　Qi Shao Rong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “Capsized, no way.”

　　He just casually mentioned a sentence, the boat overturned all of a sudden, is it that he is – crow’s mouth! Oh, how can he dare to speak casually in the future?

　　“Hailing is a man of high standing in the Sea Clan! Who dares to overturn his ship?” Qi Shao Rong muttered.

　　“Princess Ariel of the Mermaids! Hailing he is the young master of the sea dragon tribe, if the sea king pearl is not lost, Hailing should have married Princess Ariel by now.” Bi Liuyun said.

　　Qi Shao Rong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “Liuyun, what do you think about Hailing that kid, is he good looking enough, is he powerful enough, if, you like him a lot, I will help you to snatch the marriage, it’s not impossible.”

　　Bi Liuyun smiled and said, “I’m really happy to hear you say that, thank you, Young Master, but, no need.”

　　Qi Shao Rong: “……”

　　Bi Liuyun looks at Qi Shao Rong and says, in a low mood, ”Young master, I am a bit tired. I will go to rest first.”

　　Qi Shao Rong nodded and said, “Alright, you should rest early.”

　　Bi Liuyun turned around, looked at Qi Shao Rong, and said, “Young master, I have something to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

　　Qi Shao Rong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “What is it?”

　　“Don’t give Little Flower so much food anymore, it’s so heavy it can’t even fly, and when we came back, it and I almost fell into the sea together.” Biliuyun said with resentment.

Originally he rode the unicorn to leave; it should be very elegant, but this unicorn is too bad, flying breathless, and a few times even almost fell into the water, causing Hailing this guy chased after the unicorn to ask whether there is a problem, otherwise, or he came to send.

　　Qi Shaorong: “……”

　　Qi Shao Rong looked at the fat Little Flower, turned his head to look at Zhuang Hao and said, “Do you think Little Flower is overweight?”

　　Zhuang Hao: “……” It’s not just overweight! It’s seriously overweight! This is not a unicorn! This is clearly a pig!
