With the death of the Evil Orca King, the few remaining Evil Orcas scattered in panic.
Ye Feng glanced at them but didn't bother giving chase. After all, all the ten-thousand-year Evil Orcas had already been wiped out, and they wouldn't pose any threat to Little White's clan for thousands of years.
If her clan couldn't recover and thrive in that time, then they might as well go extinct sooner rather than later.
Besides, Bo Saixi wasn't wrong—Evil Orcas were an important part of the ocean's ecosystem. Wiping them out recklessly could have massive consequences for other marine species and the balance of the sea.
Those consequences could be good—or they could be disastrous.
So Ye Feng didn't exterminate them completely.
As the Evil Orca King perished, a blood-red Soul Ring materialized above the sea, dazzlingly bright.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng had no use for such an inferior product. Moreover, since Little White had dealt the final blow, he couldn't absorb it anyway.
The ocean teemed with hundreds of thousands of hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts—even if humans hunted them for ten thousand years, they'd never run out. Naturally, Ye Feng wasn't worried about wasting this one.
The Evil Orca was merely a minor overlord of the coastal waters.
He could only hope the Great White Demon Shark clan would have better luck and grow strong before another dominant force claimed these waters.
"Ye Feng!"
At that moment, Little White, now fully avenged, leaped out of the water. She swiftly took human form and, with a cry of joy, threw herself into Ye Feng's arms.
"Wahhh… Ye Feng, thank you! Thank you for letting me take revenge myself…"
She clung tightly to him, tears streaming down her face.
"Alright, alright. You're a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast—this is hardly dignified behavior," Ye Feng said helplessly, patting her back.
"Mmm… No one ever said a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast can't cry…" Little White mumbled, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Fine, fine. Anyway, this was just part of our deal. You have a year to experience life on land. If you find it unsuitable, you can leave anytime."
Ye Feng smiled.
"And what if I find it suitable?"
Little White pulled back slightly, gazing at him with bright, hopeful eyes.
"If you like it, you can stay as long as you want. My household is vast—one more mouth to feed is nothing."
Ye Feng shrugged.
"Ehehe, Ye Feng, you're the best~"
Her heart swelled with joy, and before he could react, she leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Before this, she might have thought this was just a transaction.
But after witnessing Ye Feng defeat Bo Saixi, after he helped her exact vengeance, she finally understood—this wasn't just a deal. It was the greatest opportunity of her life!
Ye Feng was so powerful that even the Auspicious Beast willingly followed him. His future was unimaginable—he might even ascend to become a legend like the Sea God.
She had once worshipped the Sea God, but now she realized—she was nothing more than a tool to him.
No… she was just Bo Saixi's tool.
As for the Sea God? He probably didn't even know she existed.
But if Ye Feng became a god, everything would be different!
She would be a god's friend! Even the smallest favor from him could bring her endless benefits!
"LITTLE WHITE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HOW DARE YOU STEAL A KISS FROM YE FENG?! YOU—YOU—RRRGH!!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion arrived at this moment, riding on Bo Saixi.
When it saw Little White daring to sneak a kiss from Ye Feng, it flew into a rage. With a fierce leap spanning hundreds of meters, it pounced toward Little White, claws bared.
"It wasn't sneaking! I did it openly~" Little White's face flushed slightly as she effortlessly dodged the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's lunge with a light sidestep.
Though the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation wasn't weak, its gluttony had left it with excess fat that still hadn't slimmed down. In terms of agility, it couldn't compare to Little White's perfect figure.
"You!"
Missing its target, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively prepared to charge again, but Ye Feng stopped it.
"Alright, alright, you two, cut it out."
Ye Feng casually pulled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion over and then climbed onto its back.
Admittedly, after growing in size, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion made for an excellent mount.
Even though it couldn't swim, traversing the ocean's surface with Soul Power was a trivial matter.
"Hmph~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Little White both snorted coldly in unison, turning their heads away.
Seeing this, Ye Feng could only sigh helplessly. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been fine—why did it have to clash with Little White?
But he wasn't too concerned. The child was still young; a bit of willfulness was normal. He'd just have Bi Ji and Zi Ji discipline it properly when they got back.
"Ye Feng, are we going back now? I've never been to the mainland before~ What's it like? Is it really beautiful? Are there really lots of delicious things?"
At this moment, Little White ran over, circling Ye Feng curiously.
Before, she had been wary of him, which was why she resisted the idea of going to the mainland.
But now that she knew Ye Feng genuinely cared for her, she was deeply curious—both about the mainland and the forces under Ye Feng's command there.
Clearly, she was growing impatient.
"No rush. Rumor has it there's a Million Year Soul Beast deep in the ocean. That's my real goal for coming here." Ye Feng waved his hand lightly with a smile.
"Wh-what?! You want to hunt that Million Year Soul Beast?!"
Little White gasped in shock!
"Why not?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
Not even a full million years old—just one step short of godhood. Its cultivation should be at the Near God level, slightly stronger than Bo Saixi.
But due to its massive size, it had significant flaws. Despite its terrifying cultivation, the combat power it could actually unleash was only at the level of an ordinary Demigod—maybe even slightly weaker.
In the original story, it was tricked and killed by Tang San using all sorts of underhanded methods—utterly pathetic.
With Ye Feng's current abilities, even without resorting to the bug-like power of [Genesis Divine Domain], he could easily overpower it.
The reason he had to go all out against Bo Saixi was because she had her own bug-like skill, making her HP as vast as the ocean. Without using his ultimate move, Ye Feng could only fight her to a standstill.
But this measly "Million Year"—no, 990,000-year—little Soul Beast? There was no need for Ye Feng to use his trump cards.
"Master, do you need my help?" Bo Saixi asked worriedly.
Though she knew Ye Feng was strong, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was even stronger than her. She feared he might get hurt.
"No need. It's been a while since I've fought—I don't even know how strong I am now. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King will make for a perfect test."
Ye Feng waved his hand and urged, "Hurry up and lead the way. It's not like you have to fight, so why are you worried?"
"Alright... fine."
Though still somewhat uneasy, Little White quickly led Ye Feng toward the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Relax, Ye Feng knows what he's doing. What 'Million Year Soul Beast'? That's clearly just his future Soul Ring."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also brimming with confidence in Ye Feng.
Having followed him for so long, she had never seen him fail.
Moreover, she had witnessed Ye Feng burying countless dragons with just a single thought.
Even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King truly had reached the million-year mark, she believed Ye Feng could handle it.
Ye Feng actually thought the same way. In fact, he was somewhat disappointed that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was only at 99,000 years.
Not even a million years? What a waste.
