We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"This is..."

When she saw the silver pocket watch, An Bing's cold expression suddenly changed, and she asked in a cold voice.

"Where did you get this?"

"Give it to me."

As she said that, she actually reached out to take the pocket watch.

[Moment of Time] is related to the secret of Shane's time travel and return to the past, and even to Leila's life and death, which is extremely important to him.

Shane naturally couldn't hand it over so easily.

So, he took a step back and avoided An Bing's outstretched hand.

"Miss An Bing, what do you want to do?"

At this time, An Bing was no longer calm and indifferent, but became abnormally impatient and angry.

An Bing looked at [Moment of Time] and repeated again: "Captain Shane, give it to me."

Shane frowned slightly, and his attitude became a little serious.

"...What if I say no?"

Unlike other crew members, his friendship with An Bing was just a chance encounter.

If it weren't for Yan Yan, Xia En might not have rescued the Princess of Great Yan.

If An Bing wanted to snatch the silver pocket watch from him, Xia En would never indulge her.

An Bing also saw a firm attitude in Xia En's words.

However, this pocket watch also has extraordinary significance for her.

After hesitating for a while, a firm look flashed in An Bing's eyes, and he said: "Then, please let me challenge you."

"If I win, give me this pocket watch and the quota for the operation."

Xia En's eyes changed again. He did not directly agree to An Bing's challenge, but asked.

"Are you sure?"

"Not to mention that this is only a one-sided bet, even if I win, you will not benefit at all."

"Secondly, I woke you up from your long sleep. Is this the attitude of the Princess of Great Yan towards her benefactor?"

If it was an ordinary stranger, Xia En would of course directly agree to this unreasonable challenge and teach her a lesson in the most violent and direct way.

However, An Bing is the princess of Da Yan, the wife of Yan Yan!

If An Bing really insists on challenging him, Xia En will have to examine whether this stupid woman is qualified to be Yan Yan's wife.

When saying this, Xia En's aura, which had been slightly suppressed before, spread out again without reservation.

As his momentum burst out, the soldiers and secret pathers around him couldn't help but change their faces and looked at Xia En with fear.

Previously, in the eyes of these onlookers, Xia En's aura was not very strong.

Combined with the rumors of suspected "avoiding war", many people subconsciously developed a contemptuous attitude, thinking that this was a gigolo.

For the dispute between Xia En and An Bing, people were even more in a mentality of watching the fun and gossiping, wanting to see Xia En's jokes!

And at this time, they realized that things were not the case at all!

After just completing the promotion, Xia En still had the aura of [Old Fire], [Secret Sea], and... [Great Law] on his body.

These three are all beings beyond the [Seven Seas World].

Their status is far beyond people's imagination.

Even if there is only a little residual breath, it makes Shane look like a bottomless abyss.

That man, seemingly standing in front of them, is actually standing in a higher dimension, quietly watching the changes of the galaxy and civilization.

In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, Shane is emitting waves of twisted light.

The color of that light transcends all colors in the world, and it is almost impossible to describe it in any words or language. It contains infinite mystery and weirdness.

Just looking at this light makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

"What happened?"

"The aura of that man... is so scary! It's just like the oppression of legends."

"I remember that Shane seemed to have killed a sixth-level secret pather before."

Someone said in doubt: "And at that time, he was only fifth-level."

"Could it be that, as that woman said, he just went into seclusion to advance?"

"But how does this look like sixth-level?"

Another person couldn't help but complain: "Even ordinary legendary masters don't have such a scary aura, right?"

After all, among secret pathers, strength is still the key.

As Shane showed his aura, everyone's attitude changed 180 degrees.

On the side, Benny had just gotten rid of the freezing situation and regained his ability to move.

The look on his face was extremely complicated.

When he saw Shane before, Benny wanted to challenge him directly.

After all, if he couldn't beat this mysterious Dark Ice, could he still beat Shane?

However, this sudden momentum made Benny swallow his words.

——It seems that he really can't beat them!

After coming to this conclusion, Benny suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration and depression.

In the army, he had hardly met anyone of his age who could fight with him.

Who would have thought that two guys who could easily defeat him would suddenly appear at this time!

Benny secretly thought: "This man and woman are both monsters!"

At the same time.

The focus of everyone's attention.

Looking at Shane in front of him, feeling this vast and profound momentum, An Bing's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed.

"Sorry, Captain Shane, I was impulsive."

"But even if I really challenge you, I won't be your opponent."

"I will explain to you about [Moment of Time]."

Looking at the people watching around, An Bing said.

"This is not the place to talk, Captain Shane, please follow me."

As he said, An Bing turned and walked into a barracks, and Shane followed.

Although some onlookers were disappointed that they didn't see the two fighting.

But the aura that Shane had exuded earlier also made people realize that another top powerhouse under the legend was born.

This news is bound to spread in a small range.

It also made the name of [Black Swan] Captain Shane, remembered by more people!

Similarly, due to the appearance of An Bing and Shane, and Benny's defeat, the soldiers knew that there were also strong people and geniuses outside the army who should not be underestimated.

The slightly arrogant atmosphere in the federal regular army was slightly restrained.

It was another way to fulfill Moritz's request.

...

...

After entering the closed barracks.

An Bing first glanced at Joey behind Shane.

Noticing her gaze, Shane immediately understood what she meant and said directly: "It doesn't matter."

"Joey is someone I trust completely."

"If it's something you can tell me, there's no need to hide it from her."

Hearing this, the corners of Joey's mouth could not help but rise slightly, and the look she gave Shane became more and more attached.

And after hearing Shane's words and seeing Joey's expression, An Bing immediately understood everything.

There was a little envy in her expression.

"So you have this kind of relationship..."

"It's great to have someone you can trust completely, unlike me and Xin..."

Halfway through the words, An Bing shut up as if she knew she had said something wrong, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

Shane felt itchy in his heart.

He hated people who only spoke halfway. Wasn't this deliberately arousing people's curiosity and irresponsible?

An Bing calmed down and continued.

"Captain Shane, I apologize again for my actions just now."

"It's really because this [Moment of Time] means too much to me that I lost my composure for a moment."

"Also, I also learned from Irina how you woke me up. Please let me express my sincere gratitude to you."

After that, An Bing bowed deeply to Shane.

With her former noble status as a princess, she had almost never done such a thing.

For her, this not only required a lot of courage, but also had to let go of her former pride.

However, An Bing still did it.

Seeing this scene, Shane changed his view of the Princess of Da Yan.

She wanted to snatch [Moment of Time], probably not because of her relaxed personality, but really just because of a moment of excitement.

After accepting An Bing's salute calmly, Shane said.

"Let's not talk about the past for now."

"Compared to this, I want to know more about how much you know about this pocket watch?"

An Bing did not beat around the bush and said directly: "In fact, this pocket watch named [Moment of Time] is actually my mother's relic."

"...Hmm?"

Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows.

"Your mother's relic? This..."

This sentence really surprised Xia En.

He had guessed the origin of [Moment of Time] several times, but An Bing's statement was something he had never expected.

As far as Xia En knew, [Moment of Time] was a relic used by the king of the Kingdom of Xuton to prevent the royal family from turning into coral.

But it was obvious that it did not originally belong to the King of Xuton, but was obtained by the Kingdom of Xuton by some coincidence.

But even so, from the [Far North] where the [Great Yan Kingdom] is located, to the Kingdom of Xuton on the mainland, isn't it too far away?

An Bing didn't care about Xia En's reaction, and continued to talk to himself.

"The story actually started with the marriage between our family and the Fire King..."

"Marriage?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows again.

But on second thought, it was normal for a king like the Fire King to marry.

Free love was almost impossible.

But what about the family An Bing belonged to?

"Captain Xia En, you may have noticed..."

"The ability I used was completely different from the Fire King's secret power, and it could even be said to be two completely different extremes."

When talking about the past, An Bing's expression was extremely complicated, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

"This has something to do with the family I came from."

"Unlike the Fire King and other people exiled to the Far North, my family is the indigenous people of the Far North."

"At that time, people on the mainland called us the Ice Clan and the Ice and Snow People."

"Our people naturally have the ability to control the cold and get close to ice and snow. The icy and snowy Far North is our paradise and holy place for cultivation."

Hearing this, Xia En was shocked.

This was also the first time he heard of the name "Ice and Snow People".

But if you think about it carefully, the existence of indigenous people in the Far North is a very normal thing.

Just like the Inuit in the high latitudes in the previous life.

Since he was an aboriginal, Xia En could roughly guess what happened next.

"However, as time went by, groups of outsiders came to the Far North."

"At first, our family didn't care about it. The refugees exiled here often couldn't adapt to the environment of the Far North. Those who survived by chance could only build smaller villages and gathering places."

"We even helped them out of sympathy."

An Bing's expression was slightly ironic.

"Originally, this situation might have lasted for many years."

"Until... a man appeared."

"That man was burning with flames, burning himself like firewood, bringing warmth to people and leading them to open up a new home in the [Far North]."

"Over time, people gathered around him, and their numbers grew and their power grew."

"From a village to a town, and then to a country."

"And those who followed him also sincerely revered him and called him..."

"[The Fire King]!"

At this point, An Bing's tone became extremely complicated.

"To be honest, our family never thought they would develop so fast."

"So when we just realized the threat of the Fire King, the country called [Da Yan] had already become an existence that we could hardly resist."

Joey on the side couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Resist? Why resist?"

"Isn't it a good thing that there is a prosperous country in the Far North?"

An Bing replied: "For ordinary people, this is indeed a good thing."

"But for our family, the emergence of the Great Yan Kingdom has caused the temperature of the entire Far North to rise, and the ice and snow have begun to melt."

"In the eyes of the elders in the family, this is even more of a blasphemy!"

"They believe that the King of Fire and the Great Yan Kingdom have destroyed the environment of the Far North and tainted their homes."

"They even wanted to attack the Great Yan Kingdom and destroy this new country."

"However, after the King of Fire visited the family alone at night, the elders became honest and realized the gap between the family and the Great Yan."

Xia En's mouth twitched when he heard it.

"Visiting the family alone at night?"

It was hard for him to imagine that the kind and cheerful Yan Yan in his impression would do such an arrogant and conceited act.

But if it was the King of Fire in the photo, maybe he would do this?

Judging from the reaction of the An Bing family, it seems that the Xin King really managed to suppress the entire family by himself?

But it is obvious that this rough approach will undoubtedly leave some hidden dangers.

An Bing nodded and said.

"Yes, just as you think."

"Since then, the hostility within the family towards [Da Yan Kingdom] and Xin King has never been eliminated."

"It is precisely to make Xin King relax his vigilance that this marriage will appear."
