Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Under the moonlight, the sound of the waves broke the deathly silence.

Chu Deng bit the crystal core stained with the blood of the dead, her black eyes turning crimson. She looked up at Shi Qingyu, who was floating motionless in the air, and slowly released Zheng Weiduo, who had stopped breathing.

"Whoops——"

Zheng Weiduo, engulfed in flames, sank into the deep sea. Shi Qingyu breathed heavily, her eyes reflecting the red fish fiddling with its long hair, which was wet with seawater.

Shi Qingyu dared not make any rash moves, and Zheng Weiduo's ambiguous attitude at the end made the always suspicious Shi Qingyu begin to doubt Chiyu's identity.

Based on Zheng Weiduo's movements, Shi Qingyu speculated that the real Zheng Weiduo was dead, and the person now occupying his identity was likely a spy sent by another country.

Shi Qingyu invited Chiyu to join her in the pursuit of Zheng Weiduo, firstly because she valued Chiyu's level four strength, and secondly because she believed Chiyu was trustworthy.

But Zheng Weiduo knew he wouldn't die even if he was caught, yet he chose to dig out his crystal core and give it to Chiyu. This act of sacrificing his own life for the sake of others puzzled Shi Qingyu greatly. She had never seen anyone like this, not even her family or lover.

Shi Qingyu firmly believed that Zheng Weiduo's connection with Chiyu was both secretive and profound, so...

Shi Qingyu took a deep breath. Even a level four ability user could be willingly abandoned. Just what is Chi Yu's identity?

A strong sense of crisis was urging Shi Qingyu on. He took a deep breath, and an invisible pressure spread throughout his body, freezing him in place.

He wants to live!

The moment the thought crossed my mind, a bright orange light shone forth.

Shi Qingyu used teleportation at the last moment, but the scorching flames chased after him and followed him to the landing point.

"Bam—"

The fireball crashed onto the sea with the force of a landslide, creating a massive wave. Shi Qingyu raised her position to avoid the wave and lost sight of Chi Yu.

escape!

If we don't escape, we'll die!!!

Shi Qingyu felt for the first time in his life that he was about to die, and that he would perish in the high seas tonight.

He gritted his teeth and teleported again, but during the process of exiting, he was attacked from above and slammed into the sea.

"Boom——"

Before he could react, the tip of his nose had just touched the cold seawater when flames crashed down from behind, burning his back until it was scorching hot. The intense pain almost made him faint.

That was too fast! There was no time to react!

In the seawater, Shi Qingyu coughed up blood silently. With a "glug," her consciousness, which was about to be extinguished, was restored by the cold seawater in her throat.

He used teleportation again, but this time Shi Qingyu didn't go outside; instead, she sent herself to the deep sea.

His attack power is not as good as the Red Fish, but his level four physical fitness is enough to help him withstand the pressure of seawater. By using space to supply himself with oxygen, he can perfectly hide in the underwater world.

Chu Deng, who had delivered the attack from mid-air, licked the crystal core pressed under his tongue, like a feather falling into the sea. The giant waves behind him scattered and fled with a "whoosh," seemingly also fearing this ruthless superhuman.

Chu Deng clicked her tongue and looked at the deep sea with some distress.

Chu Deng did not regret his decision to turn against the clock and kill it in order to protect this special level-four crystal core.

However, as a spatial element, Clock has excellent survival skills. Hiding in the sea now is just a waste of time. Clock can wait, but Chu Deng, who has vulnerable parents and close friends, cannot.

"I shouldn't have been soft-hearted." Chu Deng thought to himself, realizing he had failed to deliver a fatal blow. Now, he was forced to abandon his identity as Chi Yu.

After burning the wooden plaque and red fox mask he carried with him, Chu Deng returned to the cruise ship to deal with all the things he had obtained from the clock before leaving with peace of mind.

She needed to find a quiet place to absorb this special crystal core; she had a premonition that she would gain new abilities.

Late at night, at Old Man's Teahouse.

Soaked to the bone, Shi Qingyu's face was pale. The feeling of his lungs about to burst made him gasp for breath. After pressing the alarm button next to him, he collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed.

When he woke up again, it was a day later. Shi Qingyu opened his eyes and saw his younger brother and sister surrounding him.

"Brother! You're awake!" Lu Tianming, who was just dozing off, exclaimed in surprise when he saw Shi Qingyu open her eyes.

The little girl who was arranging the tea set on the other side jumped up, shouting, "Brother's awake! Brother's awake!"

Lu Shizong pulled the two little devils into a circle and pushed them out, saying, "Alright, alright, let your brother Shi have some peace and quiet. You two go and watch the shop first. We need to discuss something."

After the children left, the adults all looked solemn. Lu Shizong first checked on his adopted son and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

"Old man, I almost died this time." Lu Shizong felt sad when he heard Shi Qingyu's hoarse voice. Ever since the boy awakened his superpower at the age of eight, he had been arrogant and thought he was the most important person in the world. This was the first time he had seen him so weak.

"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive." Lu Shizong said twice, patted his adopted son, poured a glass of water from the table and fed it to him.

"I have to leave quickly..." Shi Qingyu took a sip of water to moisten her throat, propped herself up with her arms, and insisted on sitting up. "Chiyu wants to kill me. She knows our base. She closed the teahouse first. I need to go abroad to hide—"

"Don't go anywhere! If you're so capable, let her come!" Before Shi Qingyu could finish speaking, Cheng Tie pushed the door open and entered. "I've misjudged her."

Cheng Tie received news last night that Shi Qingyu had returned seriously injured, and knew that there was something wrong with Chiyu.

This time, Shi Qingyu got the task of finding Zheng Weiduo for the government by using his old connections. Before setting off, he was worried that the government officials would not like him. Cheng Tie and Shi Qingyu both thought that they could ask Chi Yu to go with them. As a result, Shi Qingyu almost died. Even if Chi Yu did not get involved, he could not escape responsibility.

"Tell me! What did that girl do? I don't believe you could be beaten up by that kid named Zheng Weiduo," Cheng Tie asked coldly.

"Why are you acting like you're interrogating my son? Lao Cheng, can't you feel sorry for my Qingyu?" Lu Shizong said irritably. The child had just woken up and hadn't recovered yet, and he was already asking questions. Couldn't he let the child rest properly?

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shi Qingyu quickly interrupted, "It went smoothly at first, but Zheng Weiduo suddenly committed suicide, dug out his crystal core and gave it to Chiyu, and Chiyu turned around and tried to kill me."

Cheng Tie and Lu Shizong got excited when they heard this, "Wait, wait, tell me slowly, explain all the details clearly."

Did Zheng Weido exhibit any unusual behavior before digging for the crystal core?

How did he dig it?

"What does a crystal core look like?"

"What was the red fish's reaction? Did you see how she handled that crystal core?"

One question after another rained down on Shi Qingyu's head. Cheng Tie, while playing with his personal terminal, asked, "I've already notified the teahouse to close and arranged for cameras to be on camera to see if that girl comes to spit. If she does, I'll call the police! Oh, by the way, did Chi Yu make a move against Zheng Weiduo at the beginning? Are there any signs that the two know each other?"

Shi Qingyu had a headache, and after dealing with the aftermath, he ran away from home! No one could stop him!

Before that, he wanted to leak the information about the Red Fish to the authorities and sit back and watch the show.
