Chapter 252: The Secret Realm of the Eastern Sea

Following that, Ye Xuan kissed Su Mengli on the cheek and then strode away. As for Su Mengli, she wore a happy smile on her face, watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure.

Although her body felt somewhat uncomfortable, Su Mengli’s heart was filled with happiness.

She had long decided on Ye Xuan, vowing to marry no one else. In fact, the two had already held an official wedding ceremony.

It was only until last night that they had consummated their marriage and now had a home of their own in Magic City.

Since falling out with her parents, Su Mengli had felt a lack of security. Later, her parents, Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan, died in accidents one after another.

Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan, despite their flaws, had raised Su Mengli for over twenty years. Their deaths made Su Mengli feel as if she was suddenly alone in the world.

With parents, life still has a destination; without them, only the return journey remains.

Even though these parents were flawed, Su Mengli had also felt frightened at times.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan had always been by her side, protecting her wholeheartedly and giving her strength.

Now, the two were officially together, fully possessing each other, not only in name as husband and wife but also in reality, and even owning a home just for the two of them.

This feeling gave Su Mengli a sense of security from deep within her heart. The confusion and fear she once felt had long since vanished. In this lifetime, her most important mission was to stay by Ye Xuan’s side, protect their home, bear children, and grow old together.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan arrived at the academy where Lin Xu and others were gathered in the office, looking solemn. Long Hanjie, Xia Mo, and others were also present.

Ye Xuan asked, “Dean Lin, did the Eastern Sea just tremble a bit? What happened?”

Lin Xu pointed to the LCD TV on the office wall and said, “Take a look at this.”

Ye Xuan looked over and saw a video on the LCD TV showing the boundless Eastern Sea with its surging waters.

At that moment, in this sea area, it seemed that a mysterious force was affecting a certain zone.

A few hundred meters of seawater was lifted by a mysterious force, as if there was a powerful, bizarre water pump in the Eastern Sea, pumping water into the air.

Below this body of water, a mysterious vacuum zone appeared, dark and deep, its destination unknown.

Ye Xuan admired the scene and exclaimed, “Nature’s strangeness is truly miraculous, like a work of divine craftsmanship. This video looks like special effects, really beautiful.”

The video was high in clarity, and the seawater was beautifully captured, making the footage quite stunning, suitable for use as a computer or smartphone wallpaper.

Lin Xu shook his head and said, “It’s not special effects. It’s footage captured by a surveillance drone over the Eastern Sea.

After the changes in the seawater here, the mutated beasts of the Eastern Sea also began gathering, even the Magic Whale King, who was attacking the island nation, temporarily halted the war. According to our speculation, the changes in the seawater here are likely related to the secret realm.”

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly: “Another secret realm? Aren’t secret realms quite rare?”

Lin Xu nodded and said, “Secret realms aren’t actually that rare, but those that can be controlled by humans are few. Most secret realms are located in areas with many mutated beasts.

Currently, we humans mainly focus on defense against these beasts, and it’s difficult to compete with them for control, just like the phenomenon occurring in the Eastern Sea. If it really is a secret realm, it’s highly likely that we can’t outcompete the Eastern Sea’s mutated beasts.”

The mutated beasts of the Eastern Sea are numerous, including the four Sea Kings, all of whom are powerful.

Currently, only the Black Dragon King and the Kunpeng King are attacking the people of China. The other two Sea Kings, one has never attacked humans, and the other targets the island nation.

And these two Sea Kings of the Eastern Sea are just a small part of the strange beast threat China faces.

Facing the mutated beasts of the Eastern Sea, China cannot afford to reveal all its cards in a life-and-death struggle with these two beasts. Even if they could handle the Black Dragon King and the Kunpeng King, other cities would likely fall directly.

Therefore, whether facing the mutated beasts of the Eastern Sea or the emergence of a secret realm, China will only mobilize a small part of its Awakened forces to probe the situation and see if there’s a profit to be made. If it’s unfeasible, they won’t waste their energy.

Hearing Lin Xu’s words, Ye Xuan said, “The four Sea Kings of the Eastern Sea are not united; perhaps we can try something.”

At that moment, Long Hanjie said, “Dean Lin, we just got a call from the capital. They originally wanted us to bring Ye Xuan and Su Mengli back, but now that a secret realm has appeared.

My father-in-law suggests that we try it out and see if we can gain something from the secret realm, as a kind of trial.”

Lin Xu thought for a moment and said, “That’s fine, you guys can go and explore, but be sure to pay attention to your safety. By the way, Ye Xuan, where’s Mengli? Why haven’t I seen her?”

Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned: “Mengli’s ability is the Flame Red Lotus, which is greatly restricted in the Eastern Sea, so she won’t be participating this time.”

Long Hanjie looked at Ye Xuan and chuckled, “Alright, then just the few of us will go. But it seems that Old Qin is having some trouble.

If we’re going into the Eastern Sea, we not only need to ensure Old Qin’s safety but also solve his breathing issue.”

Qin Kai, hearing Long Hanjie’s words, suddenly looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, the nanosuit on Su Mengli can solve the underwater breathing issue, right?

And that suit also has good combat capabilities, allowing me to have some fighting power for a short time. How about lending me that nanosuit to wear?”

Ye Xuan frowned slightly and said, “The nanosuit is meant to be worn close to the body; it’s not very convenient, is it? Maybe you shouldn’t go?”

Ye Xuan didn’t dislike Qin Kai, but he wasn’t particularly fond of him either. After all, Qin Kai’s favorability towards Ye Xuan was still below thirty points, and they weren’t really friends.

Besides, the nanosuit is a personal combat suit. If it were Xia Mo or Zhou Yun borrowing it, that wouldn’t be a problem since they are women. But Qin Kai borrowing it, how could Ye Xuan agree?

Not to mention Qin Kai, even though Long Hanjie and Ye Xuan were already quite good friends, Ye Xuan wouldn’t lend it.
