Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2728

1241: Strange

To save lives, the warship quickly set sail, avoiding any formalities.

It was moving at breakneck speed, its bow seemingly exerting a mysterious force that pushed the waters apart, while the waves on either side lifted the ship even faster. Clearly, this was a profound formation.

After the upload, the other guests gathered around Miss Isabella, trying every possible way to get close to her.

It was clear their motive wasn’t to save lives, but simply to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a close relationship with Isabella.

The white-haired butler hurried to protect the young lady, keeping the others at arm’s length.

Isabella’s response was tactful, her face never betraying a trace of impatience. Instead, she was attentive to everyone’s feelings, inspiring a unique sense of pride in her.

Zuan was impressed. As expected of a wealthy young lady, her social skills were truly cultivated from childhood.

However, he didn’t bother trying to curry favor with the young lady. Instead, he stood at the bow, gazing out at the distant ocean.

Fireworks had been captured for so long, and there was no telling if she was safe.

He could vaguely see dark clouds gathering in the distance, and the waves seemed to be growing stronger.

Gazing at the gloomy sky, he felt a sense of foreboding—the spiritual perception of a cultivator.

The book in his sea of consciousness suddenly flipped open, revealing an image of a skeleton.

He couldn’t help but think of the divination the Seven Yaoguang had given him before leaving the cultivation world. Could this voyage be the danger?

He’d fought that sea monster before, and while it was powerful, it wasn’t invincible.

Furthermore, this time, he was traveling with top-tier experts like Tingxue and Yani. Isabella and her steward were clearly no mediocre either, otherwise, given her status, she wouldn’t have dared to travel so lightly.

The other guests on board were also powerful, and with the powerful warships provided by the Dreamland, it seemed like I had the advantage.

As soon as these words came out, Zuan’s heart skipped a beat, and the sense of foreboding grew even stronger.

Yani emerged from the cabin and spotted Tingxue standing at the railing. A flicker of astonishment crossed her eyes. Her white dress fluttered, her long black hair dancing in the sea breeze; she was a breathtaking sight.

She quickly averted her gaze and approached Zuan. “Are you sure this is the direction?”

Zuan took a step back, somewhat uncomfortably. He was a tall man, but the woman was simply too tall.

Standing together, over two meters tall, he could only face the woman’s buttoned shirt, which threatened to burst, which was incredibly oppressive.

“Yes, the sea creatures told me this direction.”

He had just used the power of the Seagod’s Crown to communicate with the sea creatures and obtain a general direction.

Yani raised an eyebrow. “Oh, it seems you possess a power to communicate with the ocean.”

She had seen him fight the sea monster on the beach at the hotel, severing the sea with a single sword. Adding to what he had said, it was easy to guess.

Zuan didn’t deny it. “What lies deep in the ocean?”

Yani shook her head slightly. “We don’t know either.”

Zuan was a little shocked. “This is the Land of Dreams, and you, the masters, don’t know?”

Yani sighed. “You know we’re called the Land of Dreams, so we only manage matters on land. This is the Sea of Dreams, and it’s not our responsibility.”

Zuan: “…”

It made perfect sense, and for a moment, he wasn’t sure how to refute it.

Yani gazed into the distance. “We only know the deep ocean is a forbidden zone for life. We’ve sent experts to explore it before, but sadly, no one has ever returned.”

Zuan’s heart sank. Even she said that, so the Sea of Dreams must be dangerous.

“If it’s so dangerous, why did you open a hotel right by the sea?” Zuan said with a hint of discontent. If that weren’t the case, Fireworks wouldn’t have been in danger.

“Because the only dangerous area in the Land of Dreams is the forbidden zone for life. The rest of the world is safe. Besides, the sea monsters in the ocean don’t interfere with us on land. Lately, ferocious sea beasts have occasionally appeared near the coast, but we never imagined they’d dare to appear directly on the beach.” Yani’s brow furrowed, as if she was puzzled.

Zuan felt a surge of anger, but reason allowed him to control it. He knew that blaming and taking out his anger on others would be futile at this point. After all, he still needed her and his men to help rescue people.

“Then do you have a way to get through that thunderstorm?”

“This warship is strong enough to withstand the outer thunderstorms, but the deeper those thunderstorms go, the more powerful they become

. It’s almost impossible for us to get deeper. If we can’t find your friend on the periphery, I’m afraid…” Yani didn’t finish her words, but her meaning was clear. Zuan’s heart sank. He didn’t know if the fireworks could withstand those terrifying thunderstorms.

“By the way, do you find this strange?” Yani suddenly spoke.

“What’s strange about it?” Zuan answered casually.

“First of all, for millions of years, those sea monsters have never had any conflict with our dreamland, but this

time they suddenly appeared on the beach.” “Haha, you just said that many sea beasts have appeared near the coast recently, but you didn’t take protective measures, resulting in the attack of guests.”

“On the contrary, we have taken extremely strict protective measures, whether it is shark nets or various defensive formations. It stands to reason that those sea monsters would never be able to get in.”

“But the facts are before our eyes.”

“Sometimes what you see may not be the truth.”

“What do you mean?”

“I understand your feelings about losing your friend, but have you ever considered this? Sea monsters typically crave the flesh and blood of living beings, devouring any living being they can. But from what you’ve said, your friend wasn’t devoured, but rather abducted.” Yani paused. “Do you think it’s normal for a sea monster to abduct someone?”

Zuan frowned. “Sea monsters aren’t mindless beasts. Perhaps they have some agenda.”

Yani smiled, but instead of answering directly, she asked, “Do you truly know your friend?”

Zuan was about to respond when he froze. He had always harbored a vague suspicion, but he hadn’t considered it fully.

Although their relationship appeared to others like a passionate couple, he knew full well that he had met her not long ago on the Guild of Commerce’s starship. He

knew only that her name was Fireworks and that she worshipped the Goddess of Love and Beauty, but nothing else.

Even that name and her beliefs might not be true.

Recalling Firework’s initial warmth, could that familiarity truly have been motivated by some ulterior motive?

Noticing his expression, Yani knew her words had worked, so she said, “We’ll do our best to rescue the guests, but if anything goes wrong, I’m also responsible for the safety of the rest of the ship. I hope you understand.”

After Yani left, he felt the temperature around him drop slightly. Looking back, he saw Tingxue approaching.

“I heard your conversation just now.”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know anything else, but I can tell that Fireworks means no harm.”

Hearing her answer, Zuan felt relieved. Yes, Fireworks might be hiding something, but he’d been having a wonderful time with her. Why dwell on it?

Just then, the alarm on the warship suddenly sounded, and a shadow suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.
