Often, we think we're incredibly carefree, yet we're often so hesitant and indecisive when faced with real situations. —To the unlucky kid.

Command room of the Sheqi Eight Families' main ship.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Ye Jingchen placed the heavy sword box of the Seven Deadly Sins behind him with a dull "thud," leaned his upper body slightly back, and looked up at the simple wooden ceiling.

Genji also sat cross-legged on the futon next to Ye Jingchen, with the two Genji brothers sandwiching Ye Jingchen in the middle.

"Do you see...my sister?" Genji finished wiping the Spider Cutter and the Child Cutter, put the white rag used to wipe the swords back into the drawer, and closed his eyes slightly.

Erii is a complex character to Genjiro. He used to treat this pitiful girl, who was regarded as the ultimate weapon by his clan, as just a stranger, but later she became his own sister.

Later, under Ye Jingchen's micro-management, it actually became the source of the dragon blood of the Snake Clan.

But he always treated Erii as his younger sister.

Nodding, Yuan Zhinü lightly flicked her bangs. "I saw it. She sealed herself inside white crystal..."

Upon hearing this, Genji frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and looked directly into Ye Jingchen's eyes. "Ye-san, shouldn't we rescue Erii?"

He had tried his best to control his emotions, but the thought of his lovely little sister, who was actually sealed in white crystal, made him unable to bear it any longer.

Faced with Genjiro's questioning, Ye Jingchen did not show much emotion. He comforted Genjiro as if he were a child, saying, "This is her own choice. Trust Erii. In the battlefield of the spiritual world, she is no weaker than anyone else."

"It's like this again. Am I still unable to do anything?" Genjiro seemed to recall his past battles with his younger brother Genjiro, and angrily slammed his fist on the table, making a loud bang.

"All the tragedies and misfortunes in this world should be attributed to the incompetence of those involved." Ye Jingchen slowly stood up and, through the window of the command room, could vaguely see the shore.

"I can't help Erii much in the spiritual world, so let's do our best in the real world." Ye Jingchen crossed his arms and looked at the buildings of different heights on the shore.

A grand expedition plan had already begun to take shape in his mind.

"Yuan Zhisheng," Ye Jingchen called out.

Yuan Zhisheng paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, "Hmm, what's wrong? Ye Sang."

Pointing to the map on the table, Ye Jingchen explained, "Senior Inuyama He's concerns were not without reason. Our battle line is indeed quite long. With such a long battle line, supplies will inevitably fall behind."

Upon hearing this, Genji lowered his head slightly in thought. "Our final battlefield is set in Northern Europe. Japan is indeed too far away. Only China is relatively close. If China doesn't help... then it will be very troublesome."

“Command must be highly unified. There is no question of helping or not helping. Only in extreme circumstances, such as when the Dragon Kingdom itself cannot supply enough resources, will they completely abandon the Snake Clan.” Ye Jingchen, who was well-versed in human nature, narrowed his eyes slightly. “When things are good, everyone is good. When things are bad, it’s hard to say.”

“Indeed.” Genji nodded slowly. He agreed with this statement. Even within the Snake Clan, there were still some minor disagreements, let alone cooperating with the mixed-race people of the Dragon Kingdom.

In an instant, the command room shook violently!

The tea on the table was nearly spilled, and a few drops of tea slightly dampened the leather world map. Fortunately, Genji was quick-witted and grabbed the teacup in an instant. The Emperor's speed was astounding.

Yuan Zhisheng picked up the pager and asked the staff in the radar room, "Moshi Moshi, what's causing the ship's violent shaking?"

Staff member: "Reporting to the head of the household, it is..."

Genjiro was getting impatient with his behavior. "Stop beating around the bush, just say what's going on!"

Staff member: "A giant creature suddenly appeared below our fleet. It was so big that we didn't know what it was for a moment. It seems that this big guy suddenly increased its swimming speed, causing our ships to be rocked by the current."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchen, Yuan Zhisheng, and Yuan Zhinu all looked surprised. They quickly walked out of the command room and onto the deck.

At this time, the sea was still calm.

“I’ll change into my diving suit and go down to take a look,” Yuan Zhinv suggested.

Yuan Zhisheng firmly refused, "No, we haven't figured out the specific situation yet, so we can't act recklessly."

“It is actually feasible. I will go down with Genji,” Ye Jingchen turned slightly and looked into Genji’s eyes. “If we can control this big guy with Genji’s Word of Power: Dream Eater, it will be a great addition to our expedition.”

“With Ye Sang accompanying me, I am naturally at ease…” Yuan Zhisheng nodded, looking at the patterns on his divine robe. He recalled the scene of Ye Jingchen riding his sword through the sea and controlling torpedoes when facing the giant squid.

He was not comfortable letting his younger brother, Yuan Zhinü, face the unknown creatures in the ocean alone; that would be too risky. Having Ye Jingchen accompany him was a small act of selfishness on his part as an older brother.

Ye Jingchen and Yuan Zhinu arrived at the diving chamber and began changing into their diving suits.

"Ye Sang, there are some things I don't know if I should say." Yuan Zhinv hugged the waterproof helmet to her chest.

As he was zipping up his zipper, Ye Jingchen glanced at Yuan Zhinu and said, "Just say what you want to say. Is there anything you should or shouldn't say?"

"Well... I feel like my brother always argues with what I say. You've seen it yourself, I've been trying my best to integrate into the Snake Clan. I've cut my hair short, changed out of my theatrical robes for formal wear, and made many other changes, but I can still feel that my brother is against me most of the time..."

Once she opened a floodgate, Genjiro began to talk at length about how her brother, Genjiro, had refuted her.

Like a psychologist, Ye Jingchen listened patiently to Yuan Zhinu's story while deftly putting on his diving suit.

After he had fully donned his diving suit and looked at Yuan Zhinv's face through the waterproof glass dome, Yuan Zhinv finally finished speaking and quietly waited for Ye Jingchen's reply.

Reaching out and patting Yuan Zhinu's shoulder, Ye Jingchen slowly said, "Your brother is worried about you. This excessive protectiveness may be to make up for his incomprehension of you back then. I originally thought that your time together would completely dispel this misunderstanding."

"It's good that you can tell me these things instead of keeping them to yourself, but you should also tell Genjiro that you can stand on your own and are no longer the little boy you used to be."

After saying that, Ye Jingchen tossed the oxygen tank, turned around, and walked out of the changing room.

Yuan Zhinv watched his retreating figure and nodded thoughtfully. "Should we just tell my brother?"

"Let's deal with the big guys in the sea first!" Yuan Zhinv put on her waterproof helmet and followed Ye Jingchen...
