Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Ye Jingchen rested for a moment, looked up at the Ang Dian and nodded. He then jumped off the giant squid's scalp into the sea and washed the watermelon juice and giant squid fluid off his head with seawater.

After Ye Jingchen finished washing, his head surfaced, and he shook his head, his long black hair blooming like dandelions. "The giant squid is all taken care of. Get ready to continue the search for the ancient dragon embryo!"

When Uesugi heard Ye Jingchen say that they should continue, he complained, "Can't we drag these things from the sea to land to fight? Naval warfare is not convenient at all."

Looking at the tentacles floating on the sea and the ship overturned by the giant squid, Genji sighed, thinking of the many lives of the Snake-Headed Eight Families that had been lost in the sea. "I'm afraid these monsters don't want to come ashore."

"Your balance should be pretty good, right?" Ye Jingchen brushed his hair, which was wet from the seawater, back with his hand, raised his sword finger with his left hand, and controlled the three weapons, Nameless, Spider Cutter, and Child Cutter, to float up. Ye Jingchen glanced at Uesugi Kotetsu, "Uesugi-senpai, we still need two more weapons. Let's each use one weapon to go back."

Uesugi Yue said irritably, "Take it!" and threw the ancient sword and saber in his hand at Ye Jingchen. In any case, from the moment he met Ye Jingchen until now, Uesugi Yue had never smiled at Ye Jingchen.

All five weapons floated up.

Ye Jingchen jumped onto Wuming, Angers jumped onto Spider Cutter, Uesugi Koshi jumped onto Doji Cutter, Genji jumped onto Ancient Sword, and Genji jumped onto Ancient Blade.

"Hold on tight!" Ye Jingchen waved his hand, and the five of them stepped on the weapons, leaving the giant squid's corpse and heading towards the command ship!

Angers looked at the Spider Cutter at his feet and gave Ye Jingchen a deeply wary look. "Susie from Kassel College also has sword control in her Word of Power, but she can only control throwing knives. She can't do what you're doing. Can you tell me why?"

"I don't know, maybe..." Ye Jingchen shrugged and pursed his lips, "I was born with superhuman strength."

Angers: "..."

Uesugi Kotsu pointed at Ye Jingchen and laughed at his two sons, "Tch, this kid claims to have superhuman strength in front of the three of us?!"

On the deck of the ship.

Chen Motong saw four people flying towards the ship from afar. She was a little unsure, so she picked up the binoculars hanging around her neck and looked carefully before confirming that it was indeed Ye Jingchen and his group of five.

Chen Motong waved to Erii, who was leaning on the armrest, "Hey, Erii, look, they're back!"

As he spoke, Chen Motong handed the binoculars to Erii.

Erii, who had been leaning on the armrest and fiddling with her fingers, immediately looked up after hearing Chen Motong's words. She snatched the binoculars from Chen Motong's hand and began to observe.

The telescope's cord wasn't very long, and when Erii pulled it, Chen Motong's neck was strained, causing her to stumble towards Erii. To regain her balance, she instinctively grabbed Erii's slender waist.

With her chin resting on Erii's right shoulder, Chen Motong smelled the fragrance of "cherry blossom dew" emanating from Erii. She found it very fragrant and refreshing. She embraced Erii face to face, their points touching, feeling Erii's body temperature.

Erii confirmed that Ye Jingchen and the others were returning. She slowly lowered the binoculars and saw Chen Motong hugging her. Only then did she realize that the binoculars' cord was very short and must be choking Chen Motong.

Erii quickly released the binoculars. She looked at the red marks on Chen Motong's fair neck and slightly raised her notebook to cover her face: "Sorry, did I hurt you?"

Chen Motong didn't understand the Japanese sentence, but judging from Erii's apologetic expression, she roughly understood what Erii meant. She waved her hand and smiled, "It's okay."

The two of them are quite something; one writes in Japanese, and the other speaks in Chinese.

Thump thump thump thump! Ye Jingchen and the other three jumped onto the deck, making a sound.

Erii ran towards Ye Jingchen.

Ye Jingchen reached out to stop Erii, "Hey, don't come any closer, Erii, I'm filthy right now."

Erii didn't care about anything else, she reached out and hugged Ye Jingchen, burying her head in Ye Jingchen's chest.

She hated the feeling of Ye Jingchen leaving her, as if he would never come back to be with her again.

"Alright, your clothes are dirty too," Ye Jingchen gently patted Erii's back, "Go take a shower!"

"Princess Kaguya, where is the bathroom on the ship?"

Princess Kaguya: "Commissioner Ye, the bathroom on the ship, room 201, is on the second floor below deck and has been unlocked for you."

Ye Jingchen turned to look at Angers. "Principal, you should know how to sail, right? Let's take the boat back and dock first."

Angers nodded slightly. "Yes."

Uesugi Kotsugu's old face loomed over, staring at Ye Jingchen, "What are you planning to do with my daughter, kid?"

Erii pulled out a small notebook and showed it to Uesugi Etsu: "Taking a bath, getting tired! Father, please move aside."

Uesugi Kotsushi's lips twitched slightly as he watched Ye Jingchen pull Erii down the deck.

Chen Motong silently watched Ye Jingchen lead Erii away. She actually had an urge to follow them and spy on what might happen between them. However, given her current unfamiliarity with both of them, going over seemed inappropriate. So she could only lean against the railing, enjoying the sea breeze, trying to hide her slight embarrassment.

Uesugi Echizen belatedly realized something, "Angers, you old bastard, didn't you say you were going to stay on deck and watch over my children?"

"Word of Power - Time Zero!" Upon hearing Uesugi Kotsu's questioning, Angers immediately activated his Word of Power and vanished, though his voice remained: "What did you say? I wasn't listening! I'm off to sail."

Uesugi Kotsushi wrinkled his nose. "Why are they all so old and lewd?"

The two brothers, Genjiro and Genjiro, leaned against the armrest without saying a word.

They must have had a lot to say to each other, but they remained silent.

Angers started the ship, and the ship's whistle sounded a long, drawn-out note!

"elder brother."

Upon hearing Yuan Zhinu's voice, Yuan Zhisheng glanced at her profile before quickly looking away and hummed in response.

"Do you remember when we were little, on the mountain, we said we'd go see the sea together?" Yuan Zhinu leaned on the handrail, feeling the rough texture of the steel handrail, its paint chipped off from sun and rain.

“I remember.” Genjiro nodded, unsure of what to say.

"Later, I saw the sea, the sea I had longed for, but I could no longer be happy, because I always felt that there should be two people standing here." (music: piano instrumental part of the chorus of "Clocks in the Opposite Direction")
