Chapter 2462: Chapter 2365: Blood Sacrifice

Having entered the sea, not only Huo Sining, but even Zhong Xiaoyao and Yue Shuwen were frolicking madly in the ocean.

Although the Jiaoren turned into humans can live entirely as humans on land, it is clear that compared to the dry climate of the land, the Jiaoren still prefer the ocean environment.

Huo Sining had made a reservoir inside her storage ring, filled with seawater, so whenever she particularly wanted to go out to sea, she’d move the water from the reservoir into the bathtub and soak for a while, so she was quite alright, at least not too desperate for the ocean.

But people like Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao could only hold back their thirst for the sea.

So after so long, going out to sea again, even the usually composed Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao couldn’t restrain themselves.

If even the adults were acting like this, then it goes without saying for their precious baby boy.

Huo Sining felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation, recalling the words from the people at the harbor, she couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

That boy hasn’t even hatched yet, and he’s already more destructive than Nezha. Looks like he may be a troublemaker in the future.

When they were far away from the shore, Huo Sining finally released Saiji.

After more than a thousand years, as Saiji touched the briny seawater once more, she couldn’t hold back a sigh, a comfortable moan from the depths of her soul, also an unspeakable sense of belonging.

For these half-mermaids, this is where they truly feel at home.

Floating and diving in the sea, she joyfully played with the schools of fish until she finally calmed the tumult in her heart.

This time, Huo Sining brought her to the sea evidently not for sightseeing but to help her find her way home.

The ocean is vast, naturally it’s impossible to find it in a short time.

But as a member of the Witch Clan among the half-mermaids, due to the secret technique left by an ancestor who served the High Priest at the Jiaozu Altar, Saiji had mastered some special techniques.

Such as communicating with other sea dwellers.

So, Huo Sining saw Saiji bite through her finger in the sea, using the trickling blood to draw strange patterns in the water.

Those patterns quickly dispersed in the sea, while Saiji murmured something under her breath.

This murmuring puzzled Yue Shuwen and others, but Saiji seemed not planning to explain to Huo Sining and them.

After everything was done, several minutes had passed, Huo Sining wanted to ask but Saiji didn’t speak, only closed her eyes as if listening to something.

Seeing Saiji like this, Huo Sining didn’t disturb her, yet everyone was inevitably puzzled, exchanging curious glances.

And right at that moment, Saiji, who was floating in the deep sea, finally moved.

She swam towards the deep sea, further and further, Huo Sining and the others hurriedly followed.

Huo Sining didn’t know what Saiji was looking for, and during the process, Saiji frequently would pull aside a passing fish, whispering into its ear.

Those fish seemed to understand her, some nodded with their fins swaying, others directly turned around to lead the way in front.

Huo Sining suspected that the pattern Saiji drew with her blood was more than likely for communicating with the fish.

However, even predicting this possibility, seeing Saiji being able to communicate with all kinds of animals, Huo Sining still found it amazing.

Even when encountering fierce sea snakes, sharks, and giant whales, Saiji approached without hesitation.

And those creatures, normally avoided by Huo Sining, surprisingly didn’t show any aggressive posture but instead seemed exceptionally obedient, leaning closely, appearing happy like finding a playmate.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but think, even with spiritual energy aid, she has no means to handle these aggressive creatures, yet Saiji managed with just a few incantations so efficiently.

Throughout this, Saiji’s expression remained grave, truthfully Huo Sining and the others didn’t know what she was doing or how to help, only following suit step by step.

They tossed around in the ocean for several hours, even ending up sitting on the back of a giant whale, traveling in the sea for over an hour before stopping.

By that time, Huo Sining’s Compass Detector had already informed her of their specific location.

They had crossed the Yellow Sea, traveling from the East Sea to the realm of the Bohai Sea.

Sliding down from the giant whale’s back, Saiji’s previously serious expression finally showed a trace of a smile.

Huo Sining speculated silently, guessing the young lady found her way after such a journey, otherwise she wouldn’t be so happy.

Huo Sining also breathed a sigh of relief, the issue with the half-mermaid is quite tricky, if not for extraordinary circumstances, it’s better to send the girl away as soon as possible.

Now that Fujiwara Seiho is dead, her side is undoubtedly unsafe, it’s plausible that Fujiwara Seiho’s family has already been targeting her, if Saiji stays with her, it might expose all of their identities.

Compared to Saiji the half-mermaid, Huo Sining is certainly selfish, although she kindly rescued this stranger, she doesn’t wish to put herself and her family and friends in danger because of her, the price is too high.

As Huo Sining thought this, Saiji already swam towards a place that seemed ordinary.

Seeing this, Huo Sining quickly signaled to Yue Shuwen, and the three followed behind Saiji.

Initially thinking the young lady had found her way home and would relieve this burden, Huo Sining felt she’d be much more relaxed, but soon, she realized her joy was premature.

The girl wandered in the sea for tens of minutes, her face growing increasingly anxious, the confusion and panic in her eyes true and unabated.

At this moment, Huo Sining sensed something was wrong, can’t help but ask: "What’s wrong, Saiji? Is there something amiss?"

Saiji bit her lip without speaking, only continuously surveying around, seemingly trying to find something familiar in this stretch of water.

But clearly, all was in vain, more than seventeen hundred years had passed, it’s not only the land she no longer recognized, even this sea no longer looked familiar.

Seeing Saiji like this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel a weight in her heart:

"Haven’t you found it? Could it be a mistake, that it’s actually not here?"

Huo Sining’s speculation finally brought a change in Saiji’s desolated emotion, she suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes looking at Huo Sining:

"Yes, I must have found the wrong place, I’ll ask again, it’s impossible, this place surely isn’t—"
