Qin Feng didn't reply.

"Do you want to stay or not? Even if you can't, I want to hear the truth," Ling Xiao said earnestly.

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "I won't stay here, and neither will you. You just have a minor health issue, and I'll find a way to resolve it. In three years, I'll be able to take you away!"

"I want to stay here with you for a while to make up for my mistakes!" Qin Feng pleaded earnestly.

"You'll leave once the underwater trip is over!"

"Why should I? You think I'll just leave because you want me to? Ling Xiao, don't think you can take advantage of me just because I'm trying to coax you!"

"We've already broken up, you shouldn't be here."

"Break up? Did I agree to that? Don't forget, your parents and that fat guy are in my hands!"

"You're already married!"

"So what? She can give me so much, even a child. Can you?" Qin Feng regained control. This wasn't the first or second time. Ling Xiao was soft-hearted and insecure. If being soft didn't work, he would try being hard. If being hard didn't work, he would find a way to hurt her. There was always a way to succeed.

"I can't," so I'm giving you a chance...

"Then be a good girl and stay in this world for a few years. I'll solve all the problems and then take you home."

"Mmm," Ling Xiao nodded obediently.

Everyone slept soundly that night.

The next day, everyone noticed that Ling Xiao was in a completely different state. He was radiating sunshine from the inside out, and it was as if you could feel joy just by standing next to him.

Qin Feng stared at Ling Xiao, seemingly unwilling to let him go for even a moment longer.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ling Xiao tilted his head and asked.

Qin Feng cursed Ling Xiao a thousand times in his heart. Did this guy even know how charming he was?

"It's nothing, I just remembered the first time I saw you. Back then, you were just as sunny and handsome as you are now, captivating everyone's heart." Qin Feng recalled the scene of his first meeting with Ling Xiao.

Back then, Ling Xiao was as pure as a white rose; even her breath was captivating.

"How much longer until we reach the location of the underwater tomb?" Ling Xiao changed the subject.

"About an hour left!" Ah Ning replied.

"Do you have a lighter? It needs to be windproof," Ling Xiao asked Qin Feng.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Feng frowned. When did this guy learn to smoke?

"Hey! Don't smoke on the boat right now! It'll make the little fish in the sea smell secondhand!" Zhang the Bald said from the side.

"No, Lingzi, when did you learn to smoke?" the fat man asked, sounding somewhat worried.

"Yeah! Have you been hanging out with some bad influences? How come they've been teaching you these things?" Wu Xie asked from the side.

In Fatty and Wu Xie's eyes, Ling Xiao was an obedient and well-behaved child, just a little rebellious. He had never smoked before, and had only drunk alcohol once before. So, Ling Xiao's sudden desire for a lighter made the two of them wary.

The men's scrutinizing gazes seemed to want to expose every detail about Ling Xiao.

"What are you all thinking about?" Ling Xiao smiled and looked at everyone. "I was just thinking about having some backup when we go down into the tomb, so I can have some light." Ling Xiao shrugged.

Qin Feng sullenly took out a windproof lighter and gave it to him, who then put it into his equipment bag.

With 15 minutes left before they reached their destination, the group changed into their diving suits, shouldered their equipment, and prepared to go into the sea.

Ling Xiao looked at the sea, his eyes darkening. He thought that if he could stay in this world and be himself, it wouldn't be a bad choice!

'Sister, let's meet after the underwater tomb tour...' Ling Xiao thought.

"Are you ready?" Qin Feng asked, patting his shoulder from behind. The fragrance of Ling Xiao's hair made him feel all itchy inside.

A younger sister? How come he didn't know Ling Xiao had a younger sister? His little bunny seems to be hiding quite a few things from him…

Yes, ever since Ling Xiao's bloodline was changed and he was bound to the system by Qin Feng, Qin Feng can still hear Ling Xiao's thoughts (only when they are close). However, he did not tell Ling Xiao. Now that he heard Ling Xiao's thoughts, Qin Feng was really curious about who the sister Ling Xiao was talking about was. Was she the god-sister he met in this world?

This made Qin Feng feel a sense of threat...

"Ready? ^0^~" Ling Xiao smiled at him. "This is my first time going down into the deep sea."

"Is this our mermaid prince's first time in the deep sea?" the fat man joked.

"Yes, I've only been to the sea once, but it was in the shallow waters of the tourist area," Ling Xiao said earnestly, his face full of anticipation.

"I'll take you with me!" Qin Feng gently stroked his hair.

"Hmm?!" Ling Xiao nodded.

Ah Ning glanced at Ling Xiao, seemingly referring to him as a burden.

Ling Xiao awkwardly took a few steps back and said guiltily, "I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's your first time going down into the deep sea, Old Zhang. It's my first time too, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Baldy Zhang comforted him from the side.

Qin Feng glanced at Zhang the Bald, then said to A Ning, "With me by his side, Miss A Ning seems to be overthinking things!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. This is the best we can do on this ship. Any further and we'll reach the Sea God's Realm! We can't go any further!" the captain said to the group.

Everyone knows that every place has its own customs. People like the boat captains make their living from the sea, believe in the sea god, and dare not do anything that violates the rules of the sea god.

The group jumped into the water. Since Qin Feng needed to lead the team, he was first, and Ling Xiao was second. Qin Feng grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and they moved very quickly.

Fatty and Baldy Zhang led Wu Xie behind them, while Aning's team brought up the rear.

Along the way, Qin Feng was going too fast, which caused Ling Xiao's oxygen nozzle to fall off. Fortunately, Ling Xiao caught it, but he didn't put it back on immediately. Instead, he put it back on when they were almost at the tunnel.
