Lin Hao felt like he had a very long and strange dream.
He swam in the sea endlessly, never reaching the end.
When he opened his eyes, what he saw were towering mountains, and then, an uncommonly handso face that was white tinged with red.
Then, he realized he was actually lying in the arms of a young girl.
What was happening?
He clearly rembered that on the skeleton of the giant beast, he suffered a thunder strike from Michelle Miller that numbed his whole body, and then he jumped into the sea.
He had planned to escape amidst the chaos, but after jumping into the sea...
He couldn’t rember anything!
That shouldn’t be, not at all.
Lin Hao’s mind kept spinning, trying hard to recall what had happened, but he could never rember.
That fragnt of mory, it seed as if it had been deleted.
"Why am I here?" After a while, Lin Hao rubbed his forehead and sat up.
"Why? Humph, if it wasn’t for our Xin Xin being kind-hearted, you would have been dead a long ti ago," Li Gui said with an unpleasant expression, very annoyed.
Miss Xin Xin?
"Thank you." Lin Hao turned his head to glance at the girl beside him, and when he did, he got the shock of his life.
Refining God Realm, Third Layer Heaven!
Lin Hao, after all, was the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor and had gone through countless fortuitous encounters to reach the cultivation level of Refining God Realm First Layer Heaven.
But the white-haired girl in front of him, who looked younger than him, possessed the cultivation of Refining God Realm Third Layer Heaven!
A genius among geniuses?
Lin Hao hurriedly looked around.
It was a relief that, apart from the young man beside him with a look on his face as if he wanted to devour him, the cultivation levels and ages of the others seed normal.
But where was this?
And who were these people?
"Kid, consider yourself lucky for encountering Lan Xinxin. Otherwise, if you hadn’t died at the hands of a fish demon, you would have died in the Black Tide," Li Qi evaluated Lin Hao and was also astonished.
This youth who claid to be Mu Ri, his skin scorched all over and having soaked in the sea for who knows how long, was surprisingly still alive.
"Thank you." Lin Hao turned again to look at the girl beside him, nodding slightly.
"Thank what? Saving a life is blessed by heaven and earth. But, what happened to you?" For so reason, whenever Lan Xinxin spoke to Lin Hao, she felt her heart flutter.
The youth in front of her, clearly black all over with all his dead black skin, having suffered who knows how many injuries, was a miracle for being alive, and yet she felt an indescribable attraction to him.
It was a strange feeling.
"Right, what happened to you?" No one could ever survive being struck by heavenly thunder, not even Sky-breaking Experts, and this Mu Ri obviously wasn’t a Sky-breaking Expert, which made Li Qi all the more curious.
"?"
There’s nothing really to hide about this.
"I was struck by thunder summoned by a very beautiful rmaid."
"Boasting without evidence, even if struck by ordinary heavenly thunder, no one could survive it. The thunder summoned by the Fish Demon is at the cost of their own lifespan; even a Sky-breaking Expert struck by it would be reduced to ashes. Heh, how could soone like you not be boasting?" Li Gui imdiately sneered, looking contemptuously at Lin Hao.
Not just Li Gui, everyone around, including Lan Xinxin, looked at him in shock.
They knew about the heavenly thunder Lin Hao ntioned and were also aware of its power.
Even Li Qi believed that the young man before them was definitely boasting.
But, well, let them boast. It’s not necessary to call them out on it. Just keep an eye on them in the future.
"Alright, alright, let’s head back," said Li Qi, waving his hand and passing a set of strangely made clothes to Lin Hao: "Put on the clothes, and I’ll have soone carry you."
Lin Hao took the clothes, only then realizing that his own clothes were gone.
Not just the clothes, the sea-blue crystal had also disappeared.
That was a Divine Artifact!
What on earth had happened after he fell into the sea?
"Thank you, but there’s no need to carry . By the way, how did I end up here?" Turning his head to look at the sea, under the thunderous glow of the sky, the vast skeletal remains of giant beasts could vaguely be seen in the distance.
It seed they weren’t far from the Skeleton Islands.
"We saw you floating in the ocean just now and rescued you. Here, take this elixir. It will help with your injuries," offered Lan Xinxin, who didn’t share the sa belief as Li Qi and Li Gui that Lin Hao was just boasting.
She actually took out a delicate bottle from her bosom, tipped out an elixir and handed it to Lin Hao.
"Sister Xinxin, have you lost your mind? That’s the precious Purifying Essence Pill, we don’t have many of those. You’re giving it to a King of Boasting? Looking at his big talk, you should know that he’s not a good person. Put away your elixir now!" Li Gui imdiately beca anxious, reaching out to snatch the elixir from Lan Xinxin’s hand.
"What are you doing!" Lan Xinxin dodged Li Gui’s grab and said discontentedly, "He’s injured so severely, his skin is burnt all over. If you don’t use an elixir, how is he supposed to..."
"No need."
Lin Hao interrupted Lan Xinxin before she could finish. "I don’t need the elixir; I’ll just cultivate a bit here."
Now that his skin was charred, it indeed affected his appearance. Lin Hao sat down cross-legged and began to check his condition.
The crystal was gone, but the Void Ring was still there, and it contained several hundred tons of Primordial Stones. Healing would not be a problem.
"Did you hear that? He doesn’t appreciate your kindness," Li Gui imdiately stepped in front of Lan Xinxin, looking down on Lin Hao with disdain: "He says he’ll be fine after a bit of cultivation. Just look at him, nothing but boasts, not a single truthful word in his mouth. This deceitful person, of unknown origin, we still don’t know if he’s good or bad."
Everyone knew Lin Hao was seriously injured; even now awake, he could not stand up, and his entire body was charred.
"Moreover, even if he’s healed, he’ll still be a cripple," sneered Li Gui.
If it were in the past, Lin Hao would have lashed out at Li Gui just for speaking like that.
However, today, Lin Hao didn’t pay any attention to him.
The status of Song Qinghong and his party was unknown, the crystal ball was missing, and it was unclear what had happened after falling into the sea.
Lin Hao had many things to do.
As for this island and these people, Lin Hao didn’t care much, except for this girl who had saved him, for which he felt grateful.
A flash of light from the Void Ring, and Lin Hao started to operate the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique by himself.
Following that, a faint wave of Primordial Qi fluctuated from Lin Hao’s body.
"Hmph, putting on an act, he does not look like a sincere person at all. Such a person doesn’t deserve to be saved, let alone be given an elixir. Sister Xinxin, let’s go," derided Li Gui with a glance at Lin Hao.
"Young brother, we should head back first. We’ll find a way to deal with your injuries," Li Qi also shook his head secretly, sighed, and looked troubled, thinking that Lin Hao was talking nonsense.
"Sister Xinxin, we’re leaving. This ti you’ve just saved a fool from the sea. Look at him; it’s obvious he’s not a good person. And he thinks he can heal by ditating? His na Li Gui should just be written backward." Li Gui grew even more contemptuous, sneered, and then grabbing Lan Xinxin, intended to leave.
