Chapter 317: Heart-beating Xu Xiaoyan
"Fusheng, what do you think the scenery will be like in the depths of the ocean?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked at the sea that was dyed golden by the setting sun and asked Nan Fusheng a question. Frankly speaking, after looking at the endless sea for so many days in a row, Xu Xiaoyan was not as excited as at the beginning.

To her, the sea view is not really noteworthy. What is noteworthy is the person who accompanies her to watch the sea.

Of course, this sunset is still worth watching. Even after watching it so many times, Xu Xiaoyan still feels that he has not seen enough.

As the sun sets, at dusk, young men and women hold hands and watch the sunset. What a romantic scene. Of course, these are all plots that Xu Xiaoyan saw from the storybook.

"It would be better if there was no light bulb." Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Fors who was on the other side of Nan Fusheng.

"The deep sea? It should be pitch black. Except for some special scenes, it is difficult for even light to penetrate into the deep sea."

Nan Fusheng recalled that both Augustus and Leviathan had dived into the deep sea. Relying on the scenes seen from their memories, Nan Fusheng answered truthfully.

Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously: "Did you read this in a book?"

"Of course." Nan Fusheng nodded. "There is a lot of information about the deep water area on the Soul Network, and we also have a lot of records about the deep sea area in Shrek Academy."

Nan Fusheng did not lie in this statement. Ever since the land was officially conquered by humans, the Federation has turned its attention to the ocean to see if it can develop new resources.

Unfortunately, searching for resources in the ocean is a thankless task. Even if you are lucky enough to find them, the cost of mining and transporting the resources is a considerable expense.

This also eliminates the risk of being harassed by sea soul beasts on the way. In short, it is a waste of time and effort, and the effort is not proportional to the reward.

For example, when Augustus and Leviathan were exploring the deep sea, they found a lot of resource points, including some large rare metal veins. But unfortunately, it was in the deep sea, and the intensity of mining was too great.

Nan Fusheng has no use for those mineral veins for the time being. Instead of wasting time letting August and the others mine them, it would be more cost-effective to let them hunt more soul beasts and strive for advancement.

"Reading more books occasionally can help broaden your horizons." Nan Fusheng pinched Xu Xiaoyan's face teasingly, "Otherwise, you will easily get fat."

"Becoming fat has nothing to do with reading." Xu Xiaoyan complained mercilessly, "Besides, the books you read are too unpopular."

"Also, have I really gained weight?" Xu Xiaoyan subconsciously rubbed her belly. Recently, she had eaten a lot of desserts with Na'er and the others.

"It's okay. Chubby ones are cute too." Fors, who was standing by, hugged Xu Xiaoyan from behind, rubbed her belly, and whispered in her ear.

"Wait, don't get so close!" Xu Xiaoyan subconsciously broke free, "Besides, I don't want to get fat."

“Oh, Xiaoyan, you change your face so quickly. We once slept together in the work-study dormitory.” Fors let go of Xu Xiaoyan and said in a sad tone.

It would have been fine if Fors hadn't said anything. As soon as Xu Xiaoyan was mentioned, she got angry and said unhappily, "How dare you say that? You really gave me a lot of trouble during that time."

"Really?" Fors placed her slender finger on her red lips and looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a half-smile. "Then do you want to sleep with me tonight? Let's reminisce about our days in the work-study dormitory."

"No." Xu Xiaoyan hid behind Nan Fusheng. She didn't want to be tormented by Fors anymore.

“Hehehe, Xiaoyan, you can’t run away. Just let me check you out.” Fors said, stretching out a hand to grab Xu Xiaoyan.

"Ah!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, then used Nan Fusheng's body as a cover and started playing hide-and-seek with Fors.

"Okay, you two, stop making trouble." Nan Fusheng stretched out his hands to separate the two.

"Oh~" Hearing this, Fors obediently stopped his hands, then lay on the guardrail and looked at the scenery on the sea.

"Hey, look." At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly pointed to the side of the cruise ship, and saw several seagulls flying past the cruise ship.

"Doesn't the Xingluo ship have its sonar turned on to repel living creatures?" Xu Xiaoyan raised his head slightly, looked at the seagulls, and said curiously.

Sailing in the sea is a dangerous thing, so except for those fishing boats that are specially used for fishing, most cruise ships will be equipped with sonars, and their function is only to disperse some weak soul beasts and fish schools.

As the giant ship sent from the Xingluo Continent, the Xingluo should have this kind of expulsion device.

"Of course there is, but that device is more for dealing with soul beasts in the seabed, and its effect on those in the sky is much worse. And they are opened once in a while, so it is normal for some creatures to approach occasionally." Nan Fusheng replied.

These seagulls are not soul beasts, but ordinary creatures. They should live on the nearby islands and come out to look for food. This is not surprising. The sea is so big, it is normal for there to be some small islands occasionally.

However, those islands were not suitable for human habitation and were not large in size, so neither the people of the Federation nor the people of Xingluo Continent paid much attention to these islands.

Suddenly, Nan Fusheng's eyes lit up, and his mental power emanated slightly, and several seagulls slowly approached them.

"Wow." Xu Xiaoyan looked at the seagulls with shining eyes. He saw the seagulls sometimes scattered and sometimes gathered and circled. Their wings flashed silver light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The strange scene here immediately attracted the attention of many people on the deck.

At this moment, one of the white seagulls among the flock of seagulls circled its wings and lightly landed on the deck railing, holding a blue flower in its mouth, and slowly approached Nan Fusheng.

"for you."

Nan Fusheng took the blue flower from the seagull's mouth and handed it to Xu Xiaoyan.

"Well, thank you."

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment before taking the flower from Nan Fusheng's hand. From the appearance, the flower looked like a blue butterfly with its wings spread, with stretched petals and delicate texture, all showing the wonders of nature.

Xu Xiaoyan stared at the flower, her eyes becoming a little dazed. Although the flower was indeed beautiful, what made her even more moved was Nan Fusheng's actions.

As the sun sets, seagulls present flowers. Even though Fors is right beside him, he chooses to give me the flower. Does this mean that I mean more to him than Fors?

"Do you know the name of this flower?" Xu Xiaoyan leaned slightly on Nan Fusheng's shoulder and asked softly.

"Blue iris, this kind of flower can only be found on the edge of the coast. Because it has a very short shelf life after blooming, it is basically not found in the inland. The seagull just now should be using this flower to build a nest." In response to Xu Xiaoyan's initiative, Nan Fusheng also stretched out a hand, put his arm around her waist, and then explained softly.

"Yeah."

After hearing Nan Fusheng's words and feeling his movements, Xu Xiaoyan didn't say much. Instead, he leaned his head on Nan Fusheng and looked at the sea with him.

The light of the setting sun shines on them, outlining a dreamy silhouette.

On the deck, many women looked at Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan with envy, their eyes revealing their longing for this pure love. In this complicated world, such pure and beautiful emotions are particularly precious and the most enviable.

Seeing this, Fors wisely did not disturb the two of them. Instead, she called Na'er beside her and quietly left. She had no interest in being a light bulb or anything like that.

When the sun slowly set and night began to fall, Xu Xiaoyan woke up as if from a dream. She slowly moved her head away from Nan Fusheng's shoulder, and Nan Fusheng also released his hand that was on Xu Xiaoyan's waist.

"Is it so late already? Where did Fors and Na'er go?"

Xu Xiaoyan's face flushed, and then she looked around pretentiously, obviously trying to change the subject.

"They should be going to eat, don't worry about them, it's time for the two of us now."

Nan Fusheng held Xu Xiaoyan's hand and said to her.

"Ah."

Xu Xiaoyan responded softly, acquiescing to Nan Fusheng holding her hand. But this time was different from the past. For some reason, although it was just a normal handshake, Xu Xiaoyan's heart was beating faster than usual.

"What's wrong with me? I usually shake hands with Fu Sheng, but why does it feel so different this time?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt that her current state might not be right. She let Nan Fusheng hold her hand and walked towards other parts of the deck.

After the two men left, two little heads popped out from the distant corner.

“Sister Fors, is it really okay for you not to follow them? The atmosphere between Sister Xiaoyan and Brother Fusheng seems to have changed.” Naer kindly reminded Fors.

"It's okay, we can just follow behind and watch." Unexpectedly, Fors looked calm, without any sign of dissatisfaction.

"Are you so confident?" Na'er tried to find a trace of unwillingness on Fors's face. But she found that Fors's expression was extremely calm, which made her even more confused.

……

Without Fors and Na'er as the light bulbs, Xu Xiaoyan was obviously more relaxed along the way, and she did not show any resistance to Nan Fusheng's intimate actions.

The two sold some desserts on the deck and ate while playing. They went to the soul master battle area to watch the soul masters' exchanges and discussions. They also saw Xie Xie there, but they did not say hello to Xie Xie, but continued to play.

Go to the mecha exchange area to watch the exciting battles between mecha masters controlling mechas. Of course, because it is on the deck, the mecha masters can only use the mass-produced white mechas provided by Xingluo. However, this also tests the mecha masters' ability to control mechas even more.

The Xingluo obviously put a lot of effort into preventing the voyage from becoming boring.

Finally, when the two were tired of playing, they ran to the center of the first floor to watch the open-air stage play.

The story of Seagod Tang San was shown tonight, so Xu Xiaoyan seemed very interested. Just like the people of Xingluo Continent particularly admired Lingbing Douluo, the people of Douluo Continent obviously liked Seagod Tang San more.

Among the people who came to watch the show tonight, the majority were from the Douluo Federation.

"Fusheng, which story of Tang San's ancestor do you think will be shown tonight?" Xu Xiaoyan asked Nan Encyclopedia Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng recalled, "It should be the story of how Tang San's ancestor resurrected his wife, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu."

"Really?" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up slightly. The scene where Seagod Tang San resurrected his wife was one of the classics handed down in Douluo Continent. In Douluo Continent, many theaters have this story.

"I just wonder if the story will be any different if it's played by people from Xingluo Continent than it is on our continent."

Nan Fusheng thought for a moment before saying, "Even if it's different, the general direction of the story should still be the same."

Indeed, although there are always some changes to Tang San's story in Douluo Continent, they are not too much, after all, it is a classic handed down from generation to generation. If there are any problems with the changes, the people of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect will not be vegetarians.

While they were talking, a dedicated actor soon appeared playing the role of Sea God Tang San. The story was very old-fashioned and obviously no different from the theaters on Douluo Continent.

Soon, the plot reached its climax, the scene where Tang San went through untold hardships to resurrect his wife, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu.

Tang San was seen holding up the Seagod Trident, shouting loudly in the center of the stage: "Resurrection, my love."

Suddenly, all the lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on Tang San. The golden Poseidon Trident was emitting a dazzling light.

The people in the audience subconsciously held their breath and stared at him intently.

Soon, the light shifted to Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu, who was lying on a table with her eyes closed.

When all the lights in the venue were focused on her, Xiao Wu suddenly opened her eyes, slowly stood up, and looked at Tang San, "Dear, I'm alive."

“Pfft, cough cough.”

Seeing this scene, Nan Fusheng choked on the milk tea in his mouth. The people of Xingluo Continent are really good at making things happen.

He felt that if he were Tang San, his lover's first words after resurrection would be: "Dear, I'm alive." Then he would definitely use the Seagod Trident to let Xiao Wu sacrifice herself to him again.
