"What else do you want to see?"

"I want to see a big whale!" Tang An forgot her troubles and became excited.

"Alright, then we'll watch a big whale."

As Nezha snapped his fingers, a whale rushed out of the water on each side of the yacht. Their big tails slapped up waves, splashing Tang An with water.

"Wow!!!"

"Quick, quick, take a picture, hurry!"

"Ah!!! You're so amazing, so amazing!" Tang An screamed with joy, shaking Nezha excitedly, and couldn't help but give him a big hug.

Nezha's pupils trembled, and that priceless smile couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Chenxiang was beside them, rolling his eyes to the sky. "Third Uncle, your mouth is about to split from smiling, pull it in." He was full of disgust at Nezha's priceless look.

As a result, as soon as the telepathic message was finished, he was "whooshed" away by the Universe Ribbon.

The lightbulb was too bright; he had to be chased away.

"What else do you want to see?"

"Let me think..." She thought about the ocean knowledge she had read in books. "I also want to see the ocean street-skater, the orca."

"And the six-eyed flying fish, the fish that can fly."

"And clownfish, I want to see clownfish."

"Big turtles, right, also big turtles."

Chenxiang was eating dog food in the back and couldn't help but correct her. "That's called a sea... mm..."

Nezha reached out his hand to Tang An. "Do you trust me?"

Tang An nodded and handed her hand to Nezha without hesitation.

"Close your eyes."

"Okay."

Nezha wrapped one arm around Tang An's waist and formed a seal with the other. Then, with a direct teleportation, they appeared in the sea.

And beneath the sea surface, many marine creatures had gathered, all of which Tang An wanted to see.

The moment Tang An opened her eyes, she was rendered speechless by the beauty of the underwater scene at that moment.

When she realized belatedly that she was in the sea and covered her mouth to hold her breath, she discovered she was in a transparent bubble and seemed able to breathe.

"This is the water cabin the hotel gave us; it has oxygen inside, so you can breathe."

"Really?" No matter how she looked at it, this bubble was transparent like glass; it didn't look like a machine.

Was technology this advanced now?

Forget it, it didn't matter. The fish outside were better to look at.

"Big turtle, I want to ride the big turtle."

"Alright, we'll ride the big turtle." Nezha took her floating to the back of the sea turtle, letting her experience it properly.

"Wow~ it really is a big turtle!" A scene flashed through Tang An's mind. "Did we ride a big turtle before?"

Nezha knew that Tang An's memory was growing with her age and would slowly recover. "Look at that, what is it?" He changed the subject.

Now, he just wanted Tang An to grow up like an ordinary little girl.

Although the people surrounding her this time were not ordinary at all. But that didn't matter; what mattered was that he wanted Tang An to live the life she wanted.

His time was very long, and a mortal's lifespan was only a few decades; he could afford to wait.

The two figures swam freely in the sea, the scene so magical and healing.

But the two of them were indeed having a blast.

It was just that the Dragon King, who never touched the ground, was so busy in the sea he was about to spark.

The Dragon King said nothing, just kept running errands, trying his best to serve the two little ancestors well. He also had to guard against Nezha's water-avoiding spell failing.

Let's put it this way: there was no one in heaven or on earth more nervous than him right now.

The next day.

The first day of playing had exhausted her, so Tang An slept until after ten the next morning before waking up.

Today they weren't going to play in the sea, but on the mountain.

There was a Guanyin temple on the mountain; Tang An didn't have a concept of gods and Buddhas, but if it could bless her grandmother and mother with good health, she would go and pray sincerely.

As they were leaving the resort, they heard passersby chatting.

"Have you heard? On this mountain, there is not only a Guanyin Buddha statue but also a temple called... called... the Temple of the Nine Heavens Responding to Peace Holy Mother Venerable."

"It is said that this deity is the Princess Chang'an of our Great Tang, and there is even some unearthed cultural evidence to prove it."

Hearing the name Princess Chang'an, many scenes flashed through Tang An's mind.

Her forehead also felt a sudden throbbing pain, causing her to feel a bit dizzy, and her vision became a bit blurry.

Seeing this, Yang Jian cast a spell with his hands behind his back to help Tang An dispel the discomfort in her body.

Nezha and Wukong helped Tang An sit on a rattan chair, and Chenxiang went to get a bottle of water for her to drink.

"How is it? Feeling better?" Nezha looked at her nervously, not knowing that passersby would have such a big reaction when they heard her title.

Tang An nodded; she was already feeling much better.

"Who is Princess Chang'an? Is she a god?"

This question left the four of them not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Nezha suggested, "Let's go to the Guanyin temple instead."

"No." Tang An refused. "I want to go, go to the Princess Chang'an temple."

Seeing Tang An's insistence, they had no choice but to take Tang An on another path, the path leading to the Princess Chang'an temple.

The incense here couldn't be considered very good, but in recent years, the number of people coming and going had gradually increased.

Arriving here, Tang An saw the introduction of Princess Chang'an's life in the temple. Surprisingly, Tang An had an unprecedented patience to understand her life.

But the more she understood, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart.

For a moment, she even had a trance-like illusion, as if she were sitting inside the enshrined stone statue herself.

Then she stood there in a daze for a long time, probably for nearly an hour, before coming back to her senses.

"Hiss..."

"Legs, legs, legs, legs..."

She woke up, and her legs were hurting so much she couldn't stand steadily.

"What were you looking at just now?" Nezha helped her outside and sat her on the steps.

Sun Wukong also asked nervously, "Master, did you remember something?"

Tang An nodded.

The four of them exchanged glances, thinking Tang An had recovered her memory.

"I remembered that I should go to the Nuwa temple and invite her to eat snail noodles, durian, stinky tofu, mung bean milk, black garlic..."

She didn't understand why she had this thought, but just now, she felt she should bring these things and go there.

Sun Wukong was amused by Tang An. "If Master wants to go, Old Sun will accompany Master."

Tang An shook her head. "But I don't want to go, and I want to send her those snacks." She had a very contradictory psychology.

"I'll go." Nezha agreed. "You pick the things, I'll go deliver them."

"Okay!" Tang An high-fived Nezha, and it was happily decided just like that.

As pilgrims passed by the steps where they were sitting, many were talking about burning incense and making wishes.

"Let me tell you, this is a treasure temple; before others discover it, we must come and pray more."

"Really? Is it that effective?"

"Effective, and it's a kind of evil effectiveness."

"How evil?"

"Well, didn't I make a wish last time to get a windfall? Then, as soon as I went down the mountain, I was hit by a car on the road."

"It turned out to be just a scrape, but the car owner paid two thousand yuan."

"... Is it that evil?"

"Just tell me, was it a windfall or not, and did the money come or not."
