Chương 54: Mysteries of the Deep

The ship glided smoothly over the ethereal sea, its surface gleaming under the celestial light. It was as if they had entered a dreamscape, the surreal serenity at odds with the world they knew. The sea dragon, their unexpected escort, guided them deeper into this unfamiliar realm.

Aanya, in contrast, was absorbed in observation, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, taking in every detail.

Li Xue remained at the helm, the thrill of their daring maneuver still pulsing in her veins. Yet, her mind was already racing ahead, pondering the challenges that lay before them. The prophecy had led them here, but now, they were in uncharted waters, both literally and metaphorically.
