"What did you say? Our enemies have found out the existence of mother-child voodoo worm?"

Luo Puti was startled as she knew better than anyone that Chen Xiaobei had to rely on that magical voodoo worm to place fear in the hearts of Niya and those who were on her side. That fear would disappear if they knew about his strategy. The consequences were far worse than they thought.

"Don't be nervous. The situation is not as bad as you think! The four mother worms died half an hour ago! In other words, those four people were killed by them half an hour ago! Considering that they have not done anything to us after such a long period of time, I'm pretty sure that they are still afraid of us!"

"Maybe they are coming up with some wicked scheme!"

"Perhaps so. Don't you worry about it! I will figure something out to counterattack their schemes! In the meantime, I want you to be cautious!"

"We should leave now! Like, right now! Our enemies are simply too powerful for us to handle! We are going to be killed if they decide to fight us!"

"No! If we leave now, the enemies will know that I tricked them! By that time, all their worries and fears would vanish and they will not hesitate to kill us!"

Immediately, Luo Puti realized they could not escape from their position. Sooner or later, trouble would come looking for them. It was certain that they would be killed instantly if they decided to leave right now!

"Yes. That's what I'm trying to tell you! Not only are we trapped, but we also have to make sure that we have everything under our control – by pretending that nothing has happened! Don't worry. I will definitely come up with something to deal with them! No matter what, I will not allow you to get hurt!" said Chen Xiaobei in a gentle yet determined manner.

"Quit the tough act! What can you come up with to deal with them? Our enemies are really powerful this time! I don't think we can defeat them even if they throw us a fair play! Now, they going to use dirty tricks to deal with us! An imminent catastrophe awaits us!"

After putting some thought into it.

"I've come up with a better plan! I'm going to think of a way to buy you some time to leave this place tonight! Then, I will figure out some other ways to leave this place! After all, my cultivation is higher than yours! Alright! It's settled! This is the plan! You are going to leave this place first!...

"Eh? What are you trying to do?"

Before Luo Puti could finish her sentence, Chen Xiaobei embraced her.

"I just want to hug you."

Chen Xiaobei embraced her tightly. She might look like an ice-cold queen from the outside but during critical moments like these she would always put her life before Chen Xiaobei. She knew that the enemies were too powerful for her to handle but she still wanted to buy Chen Xiaobei enough time for him to escape from this island.

One could sense her love towards Chen Xiaobei through her action.

*Knock*

*Knock*

*Knock*

Suddenly, a knocking sound could be heard outside the room.

Following by that, Focker said, "Mr. Messenger! It's dinner time. I have prepared a table full of dishes to welcome you! Are you free now?"

"I'm planning to skip dinner! Half an hour later, I want to attend the auction that is being held on this island!"

"Okay. Half an hour, right? I will wait for you at the hotel lobby. Please allow me to send you there personally!"

Focker then walked away.

"You are a big idiot! You should look for an excuse not to go for the auction! How are you going to leave this place if he waits for you at the hotel lobby? Ughh you make me so mad!"

Luo Puti started hitting Chen Xiaobei's chest amidst her frustration and nervousness.

"No one can stop me if I want to leave this place! This is not the time for me to leave this island!"

"This is not the time for you to act tough! Surely, they are now guarding outside the hotel! There is no way for you to leave this place now! We are so done… So done…"

Luo Puti was so worried that tears started to roll down from her cheeks. All of a sudden, she felt a prickly sensation on her neck. In the next moment, she fell unconscious.

"Pumpkin, I'm going to bring you to a safe place now. No one will be able to stop me from doing that!"

Chen Xiaobei then carried Luo Puti out of the bathroom. After tidying up the room and making sure that Luo Puti's personal belongings were all packed, Chen Xiaobei took out his Somersault Cloud from his treasure chest. The balcony of their room was facing the sea. Upon stepping on the Somersault Cloud while holding Luo Puti in his embrace, Chen Xiaobei flew into the sunset. Clearly, Chen Xiaobei wanted to send Luo Puti back to Dragon City to make sure she would not be involved in this conflict.

That was the best way to prevent Luo Puti from getting hurt. Somersault Cloud could travel hundreds of thousands of miles daily. Within ten minutes, Chen Xiaobei had arrived at the Luo Family's mansion. He then snuck into the mansion and placed Luo Puti on her bed.

"You mentioned to me before that you like heroes that can walk on a colorful prosperous cloud! I'm going to be the hero that you want me to be this time!"

Chen Xiaobei then stroked Luo Puti's hair gently. Right after that, Chen Xiaobei left Luo Puti's room and returned to the devil's den!

....

At the hotel lobby of Paradise Island.

Chen Xiaobei strode towards Focker slowly.

"Mr. Messenger! Where is the lady that travels alongside you? Why is she not here?"

"The auction is too boring for her! She didn't want to go there. So, she decided to stay and rest in the room."

"Alright. Let's head to the auction now!"

The auction was not too far from the hotel. It only takes around ten minutes for one to walk over there. With Focker leading the way, the journey was smooth sailing. While sitting in the VVIP seat, Chen Xiaobei became the center of attention. Everyone from the auction was trying to figure out the real identity of this Asian. They were wondering how he made Focker keep him company. The VVIP seats were placed nearest to the stage. The staff would only set it up when Focker arrived here. They had to move all the others seat away from his VVIP seat to make sure that his status outshone everyone.

Before the auction begun, Focker tried to ask Chen Xiaobei, "Mr. Messenger. I know that you have to carry out the task given by the God of Sea. Can you tell me more about the task?"

"Actually, it's not as complicated as you think it is. To you, it's just an easy task. The route that you set for the yachts to pick up your customers is sailing on the holy sea. In other words, you are disrespecting the God of Sea. Everything will be fine as long as you change the route."

"It is really a simple task for me! Honestly, I'm a worshipper of the God of Sea! I will definitely make sure to complete this task as soon as possible! However, can you bring me to the holy sea to worship the God of Sea?"

"You wish to travel to the holy sea? Sure! I can bring you there after the auction!"
