Chapter 12: The Lord of the Sea of Bitterness, It's Him?!

At first glance, the young man seemed extraordinary, but Su Wenjiu couldn't discern anything particularly special about him. She couldn't detect the slightest fluctuation of cultivation from him. However, she wasn't foolish enough to mistake the young man in front of her for an ordinary person. The fact that he effortlessly rescued her from that black sea area was enough to show his extraordinariness. And the absence of any cultivation fluctuations only had one explanation: his cultivation was strong enough to be under perfect control.

"Dare I ask if it was Senior who saved me?" Su Wenjiu asked cautiously and respectfully.

Zhong Qing did not deny it; he nodded. If he hadn't helped, this woman would probably not have been able to leave this pond area.

"I am Su Wenjiu, I thank Senior for saving my life." Su Wenjiu quickly bowed, expressing her gratitude.

After a round of gratefulness, she didn't forget to ask the doubts in her heart.

"May I ask Senior, what exactly is this place in the pond?" Su Wenjiu looked at the small pond behind her with lingering fear and couldn't help but ask, "Sea of Bitterness."

Zhong Qing replied casually.

"Sea of Bitterness?!!!"

Hearing this, Su Wenjiu's mind was struck by a thunderbolt.

She had heard from the elders of her sect that there was a divine treasure called the Sea of Bitterness in the ancient Buddhist sects. Legend has it that those trapped in the Sea of Bitterness would never be able to escape. The Sea of Bitterness was boundless, just like this.

"Senior, is this Sea of Bitterness the same one as the ancient Buddhist Sea of Bitterness?" Su Wenjiu asked anxiously.

Zhong Qing sat on a small stool, throwing the fishing hook into the pond after baiting it, and listened to Su Wenjiu's questions while rolling his eyes uncontrollably.

Who should I ask if not you?

But after all, it was obtained through the system's sign-in, and the system doesn't provide ordinary items, so this Sea of Bitterness might indeed be the one Su Wenjiu was asking about.

"If you say so, then it's possible," Zhong Qing replied indifferently.

Hearing Zhong Qing's words, Su Wenjiu gasped in shock.

Recalling it now, she was already dripping with cold sweat.

She had actually, actually taken a stroll in the Sea of Bitterness!!!

"Ah, there's a fish on the hook."

At this moment, there was movement in the floating debris in the pond, and Zhong Qing's eyes lit up.

Following the sound, Su Wenjiu was suddenly taken aback.

This person was actually fishing in the Sea of Bitterness?

Before she could recover from her shock, she saw Zhong Qing pulling up a fish, about two inches long, entirely fiery red in color. She couldn't help but take several steps back in fear, her face turning extremely pale.

Because the moment she saw this fish, she instantly remembered the monstrous creature she had encountered in the Sea of Bitterness, which looked like a dragon or a serpent, completely fiery red.

Especially its arched back, although varying in size, Su Wenjiu could never forget its shape and scales.

In her shock, the fish also looked at her.

Following that, a message rang in her mind, "Little one, it seems we have some fate, I didn't expect you to also escape from the Sea of Bitterness."

This message echoed in her mind like a thunderbolt.

The fish that was just hooked up before her eyes was actually the monstrous creature she had encountered in the Sea of Bitterness!!!

Her face became extremely panicked for a moment.

And the look she gave Zhong Qing beside her became even more unfathomable.

To use a bamboo rod to fish out a creature comparable to a divine beast from the Sea of Bitterness, what kind of divine method was this?

"Little one, you don't need to be surprised. He is the master of the Sea of Bitterness. He is helping me escape from the Sea of Bitterness."

"Both you and I were saved by him, and he has shown us great kindness."

"You are a human, perhaps you still have a chance to serve your benefactor well."

"And my role is simply to provide an extra steamed or fried dish on the benefactor's table."

"Cherish it well, I'm entering reincarnation now."

As soon as the message fell, the fish had already been put into a fish bag by Zhong Qing.

But Su Wenjiu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The master of the Sea of Bitterness.

What concept was this!!!

She couldn't even imagine it.

Looking at Zhong Qing beside her, her feelings had already changed from gratitude and respect to fear and submission. It was like a small ant looking up at an adult elephant with self-awareness.

"Oh right, I haven't asked you yet, how did you end up on my Mu Mansion Peak?" At this moment, after re-baiting the hook, Zhong Qing turned his head to Su Wenjiu and asked.

This question completely dumbfounded Su Wenjiu.

If she guessed correctly, the Zhong Qing in front of her was probably Lin Feng's master. And her purpose was to negotiate with Lin Feng's master and persuade him to let Lin Feng become her disciple. She even considered using force if Lin Feng's master didn't agree.

But now, how could she dare to say such a thing?

Where did she find the face to say it?

So now, she recalled that falling into the Sea of Bitterness didn't seem like a bad thing after all.

If she hadn't encountered the accident of falling into the Sea of Bitterness, she might have rushed to Zhong Qing and demanded Lin Feng as her disciple.
