303: The Sea Emperor’s Tomb

“Don’t you want to go the emperor’s tomb? He was an emperor you know. Won’t you regret not taking a look?” The girl didn’t expect to find someone who wouldn’t be tempted.

“Young Miss, can you tell us what’s going on with the tomb?” Jier asked with a friendly smile.

The girl didn’t expect the handsome boy would take the initative to talk to her.

“You don’t have to be so formal, just call me Margaret.” The girl pointed to herself while blushing a little.

The sip of wine Ink had in his mouth squirted out a little when he heard this. Girl, when did you get so familiar with Jier? I’ve been sitting here this whole time and didn’t notice.

Jier and the girl were oblivious to the slander coming from Ink’s heart. Jier easily called the girl by her given name.

“Well then Margaret, can you tell us a little about the tomb of the sea emperor?” Anyone who knew Jier, knew how short his tempered was, so the fact that he was being so patient meant he was up to something. They just had to wait.

Ink knew Jier was interested in the tomb. He was also interested; he just hadn’t said anything out loud.

“Do you remember the sudden storm, the crazy thunder and lightning, we had a few days ago, the tsunami from the underwater volcano?” asked Margaret.

“Of course. I don’t think anyone who lived through it will ever forget.” Jier smiled charmingly at her.

“The place I’m talking about is the where the sea emperor is buried. It was well hidden and protected by an enchantment circle. We ordinary humans would never have found it, but the crazy underwater activity we had a few days ago broke the enchantment and exposed the tomb.

The masters of Biluo islands were the first to notice it. They had wanted to enter it the moment they found it, but even though the circle enchantment hiding it was destroyed, the entrance itself is still sealed.

The masters had no choice but to advertise the tomb’s existence and hope they’d be able to attract powerful masters who could open the tomb.

My brother and I heard about it, so that’s why we got on the boat with Boss Hart to go to Biluo. If you’re not busy, why not stay and explore the tomb together? Won’t it be interesting?!” Margaret said with a smile.

“Turns out we didn’t know something so big had happened.” Jier touched his chin in thought. Unexpectedly, it had something to do with them.

The tomb appeared because of their fight with the demon lord commander. Being purified by Xiao Chun released the commander’s sealed emotions and things went out of control. The storm happened and the sea went crazy.

Although the storm died for some unknown reason, no one would have expected an emperor’s tomb would be brought to the surface.

Feng Wu continued to eat her meal quietly. She had no interest in the tomb.

The banquet ended a little later after their chat with Margaret and the group met up in Ming Xi’s room.

“How about it Senior Ming Xi, doesn't this tomb sound really interesting?” Ink spoke up excitedly.

A sea emperor’s tomb was the equivalent to a god’s tomb. Exploring one was a rare opportunity, so it would be a shame to miss out on it.

Leo was also super interested in it. They hadn’t encountered anything exciting on their mission (he didn’t get to be a part of the adventure on Demon Wind island), and now an emperor’s tomb was dangling in front of him. It would be a too much of a missed opportunity not to go.

“The emperor of the sea is a natural born god, so his tomb won’t be easy to enter. I’m afraid you won’t survive if you enter.” Ming Xi said after thinking for a moment.

“Senior Ming Xi, you can take us there, then everyone can take care of themselves once we’re inside. No one will blame anyone if they encounter misfortune.” Jier was always interested in excitement, so he tried to persuade Ming Xi.

“Jier is right. Once we go inside, whether it’s life or death, we won’t blame senior.” Leo and Ink both tried to persuade Ming Xi as well.

“No, this is dangerous. We’ve already completed our mission. There’s no reason to do anything extra. No one is allowed to bring this topic up again.” Ming Xi was firm.

Other that Feng Wu, everyone’s face was crestfallen.

Ming Xi didn’t care; he kept a benign expression on his face. Meanwhile changes were happening in the maritime world.

The tomb got a lot of interest as news of it spread all the way to the continent. The flight arrays and docks were a buzz with activity as masters made their way to Biluo. There was a huge boom in the transportation industry because of it.

Ming Xi and the others didn’t know as it took a full ten days to reach Biluo. They didn’t see Hart again after that first day. But that didn’t affect them and they went about their business.

Life on the boat was a bit boring though. Whenever Feng Wu was free, she would bring Little Bun out on the deck so he could practice walking.

Little Bun was getting better at walking. Now that he was no longer just a crawling baby, he loved to explore. Little White[notes] had to run around following him everywhere on the boat.

A shrill shriek erupted out on the fifth day at sea.

A twenty-something year old female mage in a red robe was chasing Little Bun. She had ruddy, blemished skin, probably from all her days spent at sea. Despite this, she was still a mid-tier beauty.

She was currently staring at Little Bun, her face pale and her eyes spitting fire, as though she was staring at her father’s murderer. She held a black staff as she chased after Little Bun while using a column of water to attack him relentlessly.

Little White grabbed Little Bun and ran away. The little guy was showing off his pearly whites as he laughed, not aware it was a life-or-death situation. He just thought someone was playing with him.
