“Alright, I’ll accompany you,” Zhou Ling’s voice was barely more than a whisper, yet it resonated deeply within Liao Ning’s heart.

She gazed up at him with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes, and Zhou Ling responded with an affectionate chuckle. “I can’t let you face danger alone, especially in your mother’s house. If it were me, I’d stay too.”

Liao Ning’s heart swelled with warmth, but she hesitated before asking, “Aren’t you curious about my background? I might have a hidden past, perhaps even a connection to sea demons or something…’

She paused, struggling to find the right words. While she trusted Zhou Ling, she couldn’t reveal anything about the system, at least not yet.

Zhou Ling’s reassuring smile remained unchanged as he took a step closer, wrapping his arms around her. “None of that matters. You are you, and that’s all I need to know.”

With their decision made, they agreed to remain on Deep-sea Planet while Zhou Ye escorted Liao Nai and Davies back to the capital planet.

“Auntie, can’t I stay with you?” Liao Nails eyes welled with tears. He didn’t want to be separated from Liao Ning any longer.

Liao Ning knelt down, gently holding his hand. “Auntie has something very important to take care of here. It’s not safe for you to stay.”

“I’m not afraid of danger!” Liao Nai nearly cried.

“But your safety is our top priority,” Zhou Ling’s tone hardened slightly. “Your presence here could hinder us. Once we’ve resolved everything, we’ll rush back to you as soon as we can.”

Zhou Ye gazed at his brother, momentarily speechless, before turning to console Liao Nai. “Mili misses you terribly. Come back with me to comfort her, and we’ll wait for Auntie to return together. Besides, many people are pursuing Auntie right now. It’s safer for us to leave separately, don’t you agree?”

In the end, the young boy reluctantly nodded and agreed to return with Zhou Ye after receiving comforting words from both Liao Ning and Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye left the escape vehicle on the airship to Zhou Ling and spoke with a sense of urgency. “The situation on the capital planet remains uncertain. Let’s disguise ourselves and head back first. We’ll establish contact with the Su and Zhou families when the time is right. Our priority is to protect Liao Nai. You can return once I’ve made the necessary arrangements.”

Olift also produced a necklace crafted from scale powder. “Remember, try to conceal your identity. My scale powder can’t withstand water. You understand that, right?”

Zhou Ling accepted the necklace, and Zhou Ye provided a few more instructions before driving away with Liao Nai and Davies.

As Liao Ning watched the airship ascend into the sky, a touch of melancholy washed over her. However, upon reflection, she realized that by completing the system mission in her transformed state, she could ensure Liao Nails safety. She took a deep breath and formulated her plan. “First, let’s visit the elder and ascertain the whereabouts of the heart crystal.”

Given the significance of Liao Ning’s identity, the elder lacked the strength to protect her at this moment. Therefore, no one raised suspicions when the elder expressed his intention to host his savior. Nevertheless, Liao Ning informed the current leader, Mika.

“Are you truly the Little Patriarch?” Mika had circled Liao Ning several times, unable to see anything extraordinary in this seemingly ordinary Earth woman.

“You’ll see once she can wield the sea demon Patriarch’s abilities to aid you in becoming the next elder.”

“Then, was the scent I detected last time your blood? Can you genuinely help me rectify the flaw in my bloodline?”

Mika was considered one of the most promising among the younger generation, but he lacked the immensely potent purification abilities of an elder, which had prevented him from being eligible for the position. This had always been a source of frustration for him.

Liao Ning responded, “I can’t guarantee it will work, but we must locate the heart crystal first.”

With that, Mika employed an Al to retrieve a map of Deep-sea Planet. “There are over 30 islands on Deep-sea Planet, with 20 of them under the sea demons’ control. Currently, we hold these 15 islands, while Quidy has taken over these five islands.”

He outlined an area and continued, “South Mountain Island in the south used to house the heart crystal. It also serves as the source of purification in Quidy’s territory. I suspect the crystal is still there. Although he can utilize the heart crystal, he isn’t the Patriarch and can only achieve limited purification. Thus, he has remained confined to these five islands without further expansion.” Liao Ning inquired, “How can we reach there? Swimming?”

She moistened her lips, acknowledging that she could swim, but attempting to swim to South Mountain Island seemed like a perilous endeavor.

Amused by her apprehension, the elder chuckled. “Even sea demons can’t swim that distance. They travel on fire seahorses..”
