Chapter 633: Chapter 238: Resurrection Chapter 633: Chapter 238: Resurrection The night was pitch-black with only a few stars scattered across the sea, and occasionally, the sea breeze would blow over, causing the ocean to roar as it crashed against the rocks.
In the depths of the Abyss, where darkness seed bottomless, a flicker of pearlescent light shimred on and off, attracting schools of fish that swam towards the glow.
Inside the dicine Realm, Qin Qin’s body emitted an increasingly radiant white light. Then, the pearlescent luminescence dispersed, and the space around her began to undulate more and more intensely. Xiao Fong on the ground was enveloped in white light and vanished into the space along with Qin Qin, where one could faintly make out an Exquisite figure with a stunningly beautiful face.
A thousand ters down at the ocean floor, it suddenly lit up as if it were daylight. A beam of light shot up from the depths, and a violent tremor ca from below, scattering the schools of fish until calmness returned after a long while.
On a rickety fishing boat, three n sighed in despair. One particularly short, dark-skinned man shook his head as he looked out at the sea, “Nowadays, the fish are getting harder to catch. We’ve co so far, and still, we haven’t caught many. How are we going to live this way?”
The three were brothers, with parents in their eighties at ho. He was the eldest, his wife seriously ill, and his son and daughter needed schooling; without money, what were they to do?
Originally from Harbor City, a coastal city hundreds of miles from this sea, they were fishern with a decent life. But the youngest brother was addicted to gambling. When debt collectors ca knocking, they had no choice but to sell all their possessions to cover his debts. After that, poverty struck their three families, and the youngest brother’s wife even divorced him over the ordeal.
Since Harbor City was close to the sea, it was ho to many fishern. With others fishing nearby, they could hardly catch enough and had to travel farther. Hearing about the abundance of fish in these waters, they had co from early morning and, while fishing, reached this spot. Indeed, they found fish, but far fewer than expected, causing the eldest brother great worry.
The second brother, as dark-skinned as the eldest, sighed and smoked his cigarette fiercely without a word.
The youngest brother looked to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion and handso features. However, his face carried an air of cunning shrewdness, and his eyes always seed to be scheming.
“Big brother, second brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be alive,” the youngest brother said, slapping his own face hard, showing remorse. He hadn’t told his brothers that the day before he had again gambled away a considerable sum, incurring more debt. That’s why he had taken to the sea with them today, hoping to catch more fish, but things had turned out this way.
The eldest brother sighed and remained silent. What more could he say? What hadn’t already been said?
The second brother turned his head looking into the distance. The cigarette in his hand was finished, and as he furrowed his brows, he suddenly widened his eyes, “Quick… look, what’s that over there?”
The eldest and youngest brothers followed the direction the second brother pointed and saw a beam of pearlescent light piercing the sea surface a hundred ters away, illuminating the entire area as fish leaped from the water.
“What… what in the world is happening?” The eldest brother rubbed his eyes as the white light began to fade.
The youngest brother, his shoulder quivering slightly, put his arms around his older brothers, “Could it be so kind of treasure?”
“Let’s go, let’s go check it out,” the youngest said, urgently steering the boat toward the light. Unfortunately, despite a long search, they found no such treasure.
“Let’s go, how could there be treasure? Let’s head ho; it’s getting late,” the eldest said.
Reluctantly, the second and youngest brothers nodded in agreent. The youngest brother’s calculating eyes glanced back at the sea, and suddenly, a gleam caught his attention, “Is there sothing on the water?”
The eldest and second brothers paused their movents, rapidly leaning over the boat’s railing to look just a few ters away.
“Big brother, it looks like a person?” The second brother quickly dived into the water for a closer look and, indeed, it was a person—a young girl in a red dress. Unfortunately, it was too dark to see her face clearly.
How had this girl ended up there? She appeared mysteriously on the surface of the sea in a red dress, startling him. Had it not been for her warm body, he really would have been frightened.
But did she jump into the sea on her own, or was she pushed? The second brother had many thoughts, indeed he was overthinking.
Grabbing the girl with his right hand, the second brother swam back to the boat. The eldest brother squatted down to catch the person handed up to him, laying her flat on the deck of the fishing boat, while the youngest brother took out a flashlight to illuminate for the eldest.
