At this moment, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but feel pity, and secretly made up his mind to teach him how to survive in this world.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziyu looked at Zi Yan calmly and asked coldly, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Zi Yan looked at the calm Lin Ziyu, his heart trembling. "Brother, don't you want me anymore?" He was slightly stunned, and timidly called out softly, "Brother..." This call was full of grievance and confusion.

Lin Ziyu did not soften his heart because of Zi Yan's show of weakness. He still leaned against Long Yan, looked at Zi Yan expressionlessly, and repeated the question he had just asked: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Zi Yan blinked his big watery eyes, looked at Lin Ziyu pitifully, and pouted slightly, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He muttered softly, "I just lost control for a moment and swallowed them all at once." He looked up at Lin Ziyu and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again next time!" As he spoke, he slowly approached Lin Ziyu, stretched out his hand, grabbed the corner of Lin Ziyu's clothes and shook it gently, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Lin Ziyu sighed helplessly, his anger subsiding slightly. He slowly raised his hand, gently rubbed Zi Yan's head, and said earnestly, "Since you know you're wrong, you must accept the corresponding punishment." As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan's eyes, which had been depressed, suddenly lit up, as bright as the stars twinkling in the night sky. He nodded hurriedly and responded excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I am willing to accept the punishment, as long as my brother is not angry with me!"

After receiving Zi Yan's affirmative answer, Lin Ziyu nodded and then instructed: "Put these vines away first."

Zi Yan responded obediently, then clasped his hands together and muttered something. As his incantation resonated, the vines that had been spreading wildly and aggressively began to shrink rapidly, as if drawn by an invisible force, gathering towards Zi Yan's feet. In the blink of an eye, all the vines disappeared without a trace, leaving only a trace of emptiness on the ground.

At this moment, Hai Lanyue, Hai Yan, Long Si, and the others hurried to the mysterious and powerful barrier. Upon arrival, they witnessed the purple vines, which had been spreading wildly and aggressively, shrink rapidly as if under a spell, and eventually vanish completely into thin air.

Long Si was extremely anxious. He rushed to the barrier first and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness! Young Master Lin!" His voice was full of concern and joy.

Hearing Long Si's voice, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu turned their heads at the same time. Lin Ziyu's face was slightly pale, but he still managed to force a smile. In a weak but firm voice, he said to Long Yan beside him: "Brother Yan, let go of my hand first. I feel much better now. I'm really fine."

Long Yan looked down at Lin Ziyu, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, but seeing that his condition had indeed improved, he nodded and said, "Okay." He still supported Lin Ziyu.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu turned around and walked steadily towards the direction where Long Si and the others were.

Soon, the two arrived at the barrier. Hai Lanyue solemnly ordered, "Open the barrier entrance!" Following his command, the previously tightly closed barrier slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Long Yan, Lin Ziyu and Zi Yan entered the barrier. As soon as they entered, the dreamlike scene of the Sea Clan's Imperial City came into view, and the fresh air filled their faces, making them feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, Long Si, Long Yi, and the others also rushed forward, quickly standing in a neat line behind Long Yan and Lin Ziyu. Long Si said softly with a hint of concern, "Your Highness, Young Master Lin, where have you been all these days? If we can't find you again, we intend to report it to the Dragon Emperor and ask him to send someone to look for you."

Lin Ziyu turned his head slightly to glance at Long Si, then smiled and replied, "Be patient, I'll tell you more in a moment..."

At this moment, Hai Lanyue walked lightly to Long Yan and the others. He first gracefully performed a greeting of equality, then asked with concern, "Prince Long, where have you and Pharmacist Lin been these past few days? Have you encountered any danger?"

Seeing this, Long Yan quickly returned the same standard courtesy and calmly replied, "Thank you, Sea King, for your concern. Ziyu and I have been at the coral reefs outside the city for the past few days. That day, we were taken out of the barrier for some unknown reason. My psychic power had been upgraded, and the situation was urgent, so we had to find a quiet place. Fortunately, we are safe and sound and have not encountered any danger."

Hai Lanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's good. If something happens to the two of you in the Sea Clan, I don't know how to explain it to the Dragon Emperor. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Prince Dragon, Pharmacist Lin, please..." Hai Lanyue invited them to get in the car and go into the Sea Clan's imperial city.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu boarded the carriage with Hai Lanyue. The interior of the carriage was richly decorated and exuded a faint ocean fragrance.

As the carriage slowly drove deeper into the imperial city, Long Yan secretly became wary, wondering what had happened to the sea tribe these past few days. The streets were so empty. Lin Ziyu quietly reached out and took Long Yan's hand. Their eyes met. Lin Ziyu asked, "Your Majesty, the Sea King, what has happened? Why are the streets so deserted?"

The Sea King sighed deeply, a trace of worry and heaviness on his face. He slowly spoke, "Thank you, Prince Long, for your assistance, and Pharmacist Lin for saving my life. Our sea tribe has faced an unprecedented crisis these past few days."

He paused, then continued, "It started with the swarm of insects outside the barrier rioting for unknown reasons, and then we discovered that they were devoured by a strange purple vine. Then, we found that all the unconscious sea people who were injured by the insect attacks were parasitized by the insects. Now everyone in the sea tribe is in danger, and there is no need to stay at home." At this point, the voice of the Sea Emperor trembled slightly.

The Sea King calmed down a bit and continued, "Now, a large area outside the barrier has been occupied by a strange purple vine. After devouring all the insects, it entered the barrier and dragged away four people: two from the Ancient Earth and two from the Sea Clan."

The Sea King's eyes, as deep as the sea, fixed their gaze on Long Yan and Lin Ziyu. His voice, as deep and magnetic as if emanating from the depths of the sea, slowly asked, "Prince Long, Pharmacist Lin, how did you manage to get through the area occupied by those strange purple vines?"

After Lin Ziyu and Long Yan exchanged glances, Lin Ziyu did not answer their questions. Instead, he asked, "Your Majesty, have you heard of the Bloodthirsty Purple Flame and the Soul-Devouring Demonic Worm?"

The Sea Emperor shook his head slightly, his long blue hair like seaweed fluttering gently with his movements. He said, "I have never heard of it."

Lin Ziyu said, "The Soul-Devouring Purple Flame is a purple vine covered with sharp thorns. When there is no prey, the thorns will hide. This plant has an amazing devouring ability and can devour everything around it. Its favorite thing to devour is the Soul-Devouring Demonic Bug. It emits a unique fragrance, and this unique fragrance is exactly the scent that the Soul-Devouring Demonic Bug loves most. When I was treating the Sea Emperor, I asked the Soul-Devouring Purple Flame to help lure the Soul-Devouring Demonic Bug out of the Sea Emperor's body. It escaped when I didn't pay attention to the Soul-Devouring Purple Flame."

After hearing what Lin Ziyu said, the Sea King frowned slightly on his normally calm face. A solemn look appeared in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "How could this Soul Devouring Purple Flame be so dangerous? How on earth did you manage to control it?"

At this moment, Long Yan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke. He first bowed to the Sea Emperor, then slowly explained, "Sea Emperor, we don't have the ability to control this Soul-Devouring Purple Flame. By chance, we discovered that it was very fond of the elixirs refined by Zi Yu. So, we struck a deal with it. As long as Lin Zi Yu regularly provides it with a certain amount of elixirs, it will temporarily obey our orders."
