Chapter 222: Having a Ship Is Like Having a Mother

Internationally, attention to land reclamation and island creation has only recently emerged.

When the agreements were first signed, few had thought of turning reefs into islands; only the Japanese realized that Chongwu Reef might vanish due to soil erosion, so they planted coral colonies on the rocks.

But soon after, a group of starfish discovered the coral colonies were perfect for nesting, rushed in, and devoured them wildly—nearly eating up the entire coral patch they'd painstakingly grown.

Seeing how much effort had been spent

He said, Bai Chen, I hope you stand on the stage of the arena, but I hope even more that you remain yourself.

Wait until you've fully developed before joining them—it won't be too late, and by then you might even use the Psychic Unit's resources to search for your parents.

Xu Changsheng said: "I was just thinking the same thing; let's handle this right away." Everyone hurried to the Xu family courtyard, where Tang Yanxin and Xu Dongzi lit incense and candles before the ancestral altar in the main hall and kowtowed to become sworn brothers.

At that moment, Tang Sancang's words made everyone in the arena flinch involuntarily.

Soon after, Xiao Laoqi woke up to find he wasn't dead—only the knife still stuck in his body—but he felt no pain. He saw Tang Yanxin standing beside him, while his mother and wife and children were thanking him.

Above the sky, Ye Qingtian's expression was utterly cold, his gaze blazing with overwhelming killing intent. Then he waved his hand again; beneath his palm imprint, countless bolts of lightning flickered, each brimming with destructive power. Now, heavenly thunder crashed down with the palm imprint, its might terrifying beyond measure.

Zhu Moran heard this and felt Nuosha's body temperature gradually dropping. He looked down—Nuosha's lips had turned blue. He immediately sprinted toward Song Lianghe's courtyard.

The God Hunter Bureau isn't a private company—it's the top-tier military unit. Entering the God Hunter Bureau is like becoming a soldier, bound by strict discipline; how could they abandon Lei Wu and just flee?

Yet earlier, he hadn't charged forward immediately. Now, he felt grateful for his caution—if he hadn't held back, he'd have been the one who just perished.

"When did you come back? Do Mom and Dad know you're still alive? I'm worried they'll be terrified if they see you," Dan Ni said, a flicker of concern crossing her eyes.

What stupid things had he done during those three years, still believing Ji Weiwei had wronged him and befriending Lu Jingkai? Yet he never knew that Ji Weiwei's heart had always been filled with thoughts of Mu Qingsu alone.

Ding Jiuxi opened the window, took a deep breath—the cool air refreshed his spirit. Watching the moonlight pour like water outside, he thought of his turbulent fate, the helplessness of being unable to control his own destiny, and a restless unease gripped him.

Lüzhu still waited for Yilan to arrive with the imperial edict to save them, but until dawn came, no word from Yilan arrived.

A meteor streaked across the sky; distant youthful cheers echoed. At home, eyes closed, I made my most sincere wish—on that night, I made three wishes: to realize my dreams, for family harmony, for friendship to never change, and finally, to fall into a passionate love with Danfeng.

Coral searched everywhere but found nothing usable, so he settled comfortably onto the stone chair, enjoying fine wine and delicacies. After filling his belly, he swiftly stripped off his filthy clothes, leapt into the wooden tub, and bathed among fragrant floating petals, instantly forgetting everything.

This was his first kill since arriving on the Illusory Cloud Continent; Xuan Yuan Yeyan admitted the pressure was immense. He was born with a fiery bloodline, but the sudden change of environment had forced him to suppress it.

If the name A Jie were thrown onto the streets, it would surely make people shudder.
