Xiao Feifei had realized long ago that Ye Feng was not someone she could confine.
When they first met Ye Feng, he was just a boy fishing by the sea.
Who could have imagined that in just two or three years, he would rise from a fishing lad to a figure renowned across the nation?
From fishing and selling fish, establishing the Sea God Company, to elevating the company to a market value of billions, all within a mere two to three years, he was already catching up to their four great families.
Once Ye Feng's Seven Islands Seven-Day Tour project was completed, it would be no problem for his Sea God Company to become a ten-billion-dollar enterprise, and it was only a matter of time before it surpassed the four great families.
Furthermore, Ye Feng's healing of patients, curing her grandfather of poison administered by his own kin, treating the mayor whom no one else could cure, and making the aged Director Song appear a dozen years younger... each of these deeds demonstrated Ye Feng's excellence.
However, these were not what shocked Xiao Feifei the most. What led her to this realization today were the recent events she had experienced.
When they encountered poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, and were attacked by serpent monsters, seeing Ye Feng possess that miraculous ability to unleash lightning, she understood that she and Ye Feng were from entirely different worlds.
In those situations, she was merely a burden to Ye Feng, unable to help in any significant way. Later, when she saw Su Keqing and others coming to rescue Ye Feng, she realized that perhaps they were the ones from the same world.
Under these circumstances, her feelings changed, leading to the realization she had just had.
Her current background and status offered little help to Ye Feng. She knew that it was unlikely she could monopolize Ye Feng's love.
Given Ye Feng's excellence and prowess, he would undoubtedly encounter more outstanding girls like Su Keqing in the future.
Therefore, she immediately understood that monopolizing Ye Feng was impossible, and as long as he kept her in his heart, that would suffice.
After all, she couldn't stop Ye Feng from pursuing someone better.
Ye Feng was unaware that the events of the past two days and Su Keqing's appearance had caused such a significant psychological shift in Xiao Feifei.
"Don't worry! You will always be my number one!" Ye Feng said, hugging her and kissing her again.
After a long while, Ye Feng finally comforted Xiao Feifei, then slowly began to read the book "Ancient World Records."
He didn't realize the extent of its contents until he started reading.
The book was vast and varied, touching upon the origins of the ancient world, the distribution of powers within it, and major events it had experienced.
Among them were the details about the Sea Clan that Ye Feng was interested in.
The Sea Clan was merely a broad term, encompassing all intelligent species in the sea.
Just like the serpent people encountered earlier, they were a branch of the Sea Clan, the Serpent Clan. Additionally, there were the Demon Whale Clan, Octopus Clan, Shark Clan, Mermaid Clan, and so on...
After reading, Ye Feng was startled and exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"
It turned out that in ancient times, humans were not as powerful as the Sea Clan, and conflicts frequently arose between the Sea Clan and the powers on the Huaxia Continent.
To protect the people of the continent, a man stepped forward. That man was none other than the Sea God.
The Sea God led his armies to defeat and subdue many of the Sea Clan. Some of the Sea Clan who were difficult to subdue were either annihilated or driven to distant seas.
Furthermore, powerful Sea Clan figures were sealed by the Sea God at the bottom of the ocean.
"So that's how it is! By the way, could the entity beneath Chaotic Stone Island also be someone sealed by the Sea God back then?" Ye Feng suddenly thought of that individual.
Moreover, after reading all the content, Ye Feng also understood why the serpent people were capturing humans: it was to help the Sea Clan powerhouses, sealed by the Sea God in the past, break through their seals.
Upon understanding this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of shock. "I never imagined that ancient myths and legends were actually true. It's truly hard to believe!"
Upon returning, Ye Feng began to ponder his next course of action.
"Now that Sea Clan members are still appearing in the sea from time to time, the Seven Islands Seven-Day Tour must have someone to guard it! Otherwise, the project simply cannot proceed!"
"But I can't possibly stay guarding this island all the time. Xiao Bai and Xiao Ba's cultivation is still too weak. They might be fine against mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but if they encounter someone at the Sect Realm, dozens of them wouldn't be enough to kill one. What should I do?"
Just as Ye Feng was troubled, his phone suddenly rang.
Annoyed, he answered without even looking at who was calling: "Who is it!"
"You don't even know who I am?" a displeased voice came from the other end.
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng felt it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall it immediately.
In his confusion, he quickly checked the contact, which displayed a few characters – Chu Ling'er.
"Hmm? Chu Ling'er, is that you?" Ye Feng was surprised.
Upon hearing this, the voice on the other end chuckled, "Haha, it's me, Brother Ye Feng. What are you doing? Why haven't you called Ling'er in so long?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng finally remembered that Chu Ling'er had saved his number when they parted ways.
She had also asked Ye Feng to call her, but after returning, Ye Feng had been too busy and forgotten.
"Uh, well, I was planning to call you during this time, but you called first!" Ye Feng quickly made up an excuse.
However, Chu Ling'er could tell he was being disingenuous, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she said, "Okay! Ling'er is so bored at home. I really miss the days when I was with you in the Misty Sea Domain, and I miss those merman sisters!"
As Ye Feng was about to say something in response, he suddenly thought of something.
"Misty Sea Domain? Merfolk? Huh, that's right, how could I have forgotten them!" Ye Feng became incredibly excited.
Chu Ling'er on the other end asked, confused, "Brother Ye Feng, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, haha! Ling'er, you are truly my lucky star! Haha!" Ye Feng laughed heartily.
Chu Ling'er didn't pay much attention to his exclamation and replied, "Okay! Brother Ye Feng, you mentioned where you lived last time, right? My family will allow me to go out in a while, and I want to come visit you!"
"My home is in Dong Province, Dongchuan City..." Ye Feng immediately told her his location.
Afterward, they chatted casually for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
"Haha! Wonderful! I can invite the Merfolk and Mermen from the Misty Sea Domain to help guard the Seven Islands! With them, I'll have much greater confidence in dealing with those Sea Clan members!" Ye Feng muttered to himself, then burst into laughter.
In the Misty Sea Domain, there were the Merfolk and Mermen, both of whom were not weak. Having them deal with the Sea Clan members would be more than sufficient.
Furthermore, there was the most powerful Senior Canglong, who was a true Grandmaster. With him around, the Sea Clan would absolutely not dare to cause trouble.
With this thought, Ye Feng made up his mind. Once the matter of constructing the Seven Islands was resolved, he would immediately go and bring them over.
With his mind made up, Ye Feng went to the hospital to see Zhou Lingyu.
When Ye Feng arrived, Xiao Feifei was already by Zhou Lingyu's side, taking care of her.
"Are you alright?" Ye Feng asked.
Zhou Lingyu shook her head, "I'm fine! It's all thanks to you at that time..."
*Cough cough!*
Hearing her start to say this, Ye Feng quickly coughed twice to interrupt her.
Zhou Lingyu, seeing this, took half a second to react, her face flushing slightly as she didn't continue.
Xiao Feifei, witnessing this, glanced at Ye Feng and said, "No need to be so secretive. I saw it all back then!"
