79: Sea Blessing

Lu Yang stood at the outer edge of the crowd.

The surroundings were bustling with activity.

Originally, he wanted to keep walking, but no one around him moved; they were all waiting for the destiny guidance of the Chu Bang Clam Maiden.

Seeing the surroundings gradually quiet down, he couldn't push through anymore.

He was forced to stand still, one hand tucked into his embrace, clutching a few blueprints.

He was afraid someone might take advantage of the chaos to snatch them.

After a while, perhaps the so-called destiny guidance was completed.

The crowd began to move again.

Lu Yang also wanted to leave, but he found that Wa Qi had returned to his side at some point.

Wa Qi looked at him with a strange expression.

His large eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Lu Yang: “Wa Qi, tour guide, what’s wrong?”

“If you still have things to do, you can go ahead and be busy. I’ll wander around myself. If the Coast asks, just say it was my request. They shouldn't blame you.”

Wa Qi shook his head: “The most important thing right now is you. You are the soulmate chosen by the Chu Bang Clam Maiden.”

Lu Yang: “???”

Wa Qi: “The Bang Nv herself said it. She said that her birth and the birth of the mother clam were all because of you, that you won a victorious war.”

Lu Yang: “???”

He somewhat suspected that Wa Qi was trying to scam him.

Because in the constantly moving crowd, he had already caught news of many Bang Nv suddenly dying.

Although the Coast did not pursue related responsibilities and even provided compensation.

It was, after all, a terrifying thing.

Wa Qi didn't say much, only asked Lu Yang to follow him.

Then, Lu Yang finally saw what this Chu Bang Clam Maiden actually looked like.

She was completely naked, lying like a baby in a crystal-clear clam shell.

Seeing Lu Yang, who was led over by Wa Qi, she seemed very happy.

She immediately crawled out of the clam shell.

Her appearance and figure perfectly matched Lu Yang's aesthetic.

Milky white skin, silver long hair, eyes revealing innocence, yet an incredibly natural and innate charm.

She stood in front of Lu Yang, not saying a word.

She just gently spat out a golden clam pearl from her mouth.

She picked it up with her delicate, boneless hands and gently pressed it against Lu Yang's forehead.

In an instant, just like when Wu Mazi was incinerated, a golden flame of civilization instantly flowed from Lu Yang's brow, surged up the Bang Nv's hand holding the golden clam pearl, and incinerated the clam pearl.

Then it continued to extend, branding the Bang Nv's brow with a mark.

It left a faint golden flame mark similar to the one on Lu Yang's forehead.

Once the faint golden flame mark receded, the Bang Nv's eyes became much more lively.

Her gaze towards Lu Yang became even more affectionate.

On the contrary, Lu Yang himself seemed to have over-expended his spiritual energy, and with a blackout, he fainted.

The Bang Nv let out a soft cry of alarm, immediately and nervously helped Lu Yang up, carried him into the clam shell where she had been born, and then crawled in with him.

After an unknown amount of time.

Lu Yang woke up.

He felt as if he had a sensual dream.

The dream was full of softness and slipperiness.

He didn't want to wake up for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of endless waves came that he was startled awake from his sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had drifted to a vast ocean at some point.

Beneath him was a giant clam shell.

Beside him, a delicate Bang Nv was looking at him with loving eyes.

The charm emanating from her made his yang energy surge uncontrollably, yet he restrained himself.

Lu Yang suppressed his confusion and said as calmly as possible: “Where is this?”

The Bang Nv's pink lips parted, and a melodious, conch-like voice sounded: “My Lord, this is the inner sea of the Golden Sea, the ancestral land of our Bangren Clan.”

“I apologize, My Lord, I privately formed a soul contract with you without your consent, causing you to be over-expended. To compensate for your loss, I led you to the inner sea of the Golden Sea to perform the Blessing of the Sea upon you.”

“Do you feel your spirit is very light now, and you feel very close to the ocean?”

The Bang Nv asked expectantly.

Hearing this, Lu Yang carefully felt it.

Before, he was a landlubber and couldn't swim at all.

Now, at the Bang Nv's prompting, he suddenly found that he seemed very close to water.

He couldn't help but want to jump off the clam shell and take a bath.

He acted on his impulse.

Lu Yang splashed into the water, jumping off the clam shell.

The former landlubber was now like an agile fish in the water.

What made Lu Yang even more incredible was that he seemed to be able to breathe underwater as well.

Streams of water gathered around him, making his figure graceful like a flood dragon.

After a refreshing and exhilarating swim, Lu Yang climbed back onto the clam shell.

His gaze towards the Bang Nv held a few more traces of intimacy.

Lu Yang: “Is this the effect of the Blessing of the Sea?”

Bang Nv: “This is just the most basic effect of the Blessing of the Sea. As My Lord’s mental strength continuously increases and your mastery of the tides grows, you will also awaken various tide-controlling abilities, becoming even more powerful in the ocean than pure sea races.”

Lu Yang: “Do you have to pay any price?”

The Bang Nv shook her head.

“This is an innate ability of our Chu Bang Clam Maiden. When we find our King and form a contract, we will naturally perform the Blessing of the Sea for our King.”

“However, the King's talents vary for each Chu Bang Clam Maiden, so the specific abilities gained after receiving the Blessing of the Sea are not consistent.”

Lu Yang asked curiously: “What about me?”

The Bang Nv smiled shyly: “My King is naturally the strongest. Even the time I spent performing the Blessing of the Sea was longer than other Chu Bang Clam Maiden, and I also gained many benefits myself.”

Lu Yang scratched his head awkwardly: “Really?”

The Bang Nv looked at him with pure eyes: “My Lord truly has no memory at all? We were joined under the witness of this heaven and earth for a full day and night.”

Lu Yang: “...”

So, what happened before wasn't a dream.

And the so-called Blessing of the Sea was actually achieved through this method.

Seeing Lu Yang silent, the Bang Nv smiled shyly: “But it’s alright, My Lord. It will take a long time for us to drift back to the Coast from the inner sea. The sea spirit power of this ancestral land has not been absorbed for many years, enough for me to perform the Blessing of the Sea for you once more.”

“Although it won't be as effective as the first time, it is still quite remarkable. And we can only repeat the blessing when we first arrive at the ancestral land.”

“Would My Lord like to try?”

Lu Yang looked at the Bang Nv's graceful figure and said somewhat awkwardly: “Is that okay?!”

Bang Nv: “My Lord, what kind of joke are you making? You are my King~”

After speaking, the Bang Nv involuntarily secreted milky white, slippery clam fluid all over her body.

Then she leaned towards Lu Yang.

This time, he consciously experienced the entire process of the Blessing of the Sea.

He finally understood why those tourists lingered so much in the Clamshell Cottage area.

This Bangren Clan's talent was truly too extraordinary.

Even with Lu Yang's physical fitness, the expenditure of his stamina was almost unbearable.

Unbeknownst to him.

Then, the Coast arrived.
