"Eh, why is she gone!" Elsa walked towards the direction where the white gauze woman disappeared.
"Did you really see the ghoul?" Zhou Heng asked from behind Elsa.
"I really saw it!" Elsa determined that it was not an illusion.
However, Zhou Heng did not smell any unusual odor. The "ghoul" was different from normal evil spirits, because it had been feeding on rotting corpses for a long time, and its body had an unconcealable stench. Although to humans, this stench was sometimes not sensitive enough, or it would be mixed with other odors and become impossible to distinguish them, to Zhou Heng, it would not be able to hide his sense of smell if a ghoul appeared.
As expected, Zhou Heng did not expect them to be able to find any traces related to ghoul s.
"Forget it, since the ghoul has already run away, let's not bother about it anymore." Zhou Heng said. Actually, he did not believe Elsa's words regarding ghoul. It was very likely that it was a hallucination produced by Elsa after he drowned or even when he was in a coma, but he did not speak of his thoughts directly.
"Okay, okay." Elsa agreed to Zhou Heng's words. In this world, Zhou Heng was the only person she understood about this world. Unknowingly, she began to rely on Zhou Heng.
"Let's go home first." Zhou Heng said. As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhou Heng immediately felt the trouble. As the two of them waited on the water, wearing ragged clothes, it could be considered a small matter. No matter how he looked at it, the scaly Elsa was not an ordinary human. If he were to enter the human society like this, it would definitely cause a sensation. At that time, even if it was Zhou Heng, it would still be difficult to resolve the situation. The best way for him to do that right now was obviously to call Miss Tong, Bai Lu and the other people who could be trusted for help. However, he had just returned from an underwater adventure, how could he possibly still have a phone on him?
"Phew –" Zhou Heng let out a long breath, attempting to calm himself down and find a viable solution.
At this moment, the Qingyu Lake's side was precisely an extremely ordinary scene of early autumn. Water grasses continued to flourish during the summer, but near autumn, a portion of the water grass had already started to turn yellow. Although the trees by the lakeside were still flourishing during the summer, their branches were covered with green leaves, but because no one had been taking care of them for a long time in this area, the yellow and green colored leaves filled the ground, causing Elsa's footsteps to make a soft sound as she moved.
"Are these flowers?" Elsa couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the clumps of aquatic plants, "So beautiful!" Although there were colorful reefs and corals and seaweed at the bottom of the lake, there were no flowers. Her brother had once come to the shore's world before, and told her about the beauty of the "flower". Thus, in Elsa's heart, there was always hope for the "flower".
"This shouldn't be a flower, right?" Zhou Heng thought that Elsa was testing him in the field of botany. Although he had learned about medicinal herbs from the "Divine Farmer Medicine" through the Teacher System, that did not mean that he was already a botanical master.
Elsa raised her head and looked towards the maple trees by the lake side. It was not yet the time when the maple leaves would turn red, so from a human's point of view, the maple trees did not have any bright spots. However, Elsa's eyes revealed a look of admiration: "What a beautiful coral."
"That's not a coral, it's a maple tree." Zhou Heng said with a smile.
Although Elsa's body was covered in scales, and looked quite strange, her naive and innocent appearance made people feel that she had been granted a bit of love.
At this time, the clump of grass behind Zhou Heng suddenly swayed.
"What is it!" Elsa immediately entered a state of combat as she stared at the swaying grass ball warily. To her, this world was full of unknown beauty, but the unknown was also full of fear.
"Meow!" The sound of a cat's mew rang out from the clump of grass.
"It's Little White!" Zhou Heng immediately recognized the cry of his own cat. He pushed his way through the grass and sure enough, he saw the strange white cat. Little White, why are you here? " Zhou Heng remembered that before he went into the water, he gave the white cat to the Fatty Chen to look after.
"Oh right, where's that fatty? "Where did he go?" Only now did Zhou Heng remember that there was still a fatty waiting for him on the shore. Counting the time he had spent in the water, the time he had spent in water throne was only a little more than two days. However, what he did not know was that more than a month had already passed on land.
And Fatty Chen had actually waited on the shore for him for more than a month! During this period of time, Fatty Chen only relied on calling his subordinates to send him food to support him. He didn't dare to return to the Coastal City easily since he hadn't been able to find Zhou Heng. If Ding Long were to find trouble with him, as an ordinary merchant, he wouldn't be able to withstand the anger of Sea Dragon King Lin.
Of course, what he did not know was that Zhou Heng and Ding Long's friendship was not as deep as the rumors said. And the reason why Ding Long released the news, which caused everyone to mistake the relationship between the two of them as deep, was only to prevent others from roping Zhou Heng in. It was just that although the Fatty Chen was shrewd in the mall, he couldn't figure out any of these points.
A few minutes before Zhou Heng had landed, Fatty Chen was forcefully brought out of the place by a police car because he had obstructed the enforcement of the law. This was actually a scheme that had thought of to use the police to protect him, but in the end, he had thought of it as being clever.
"Never mind, let him be." Zhou Heng stopped thinking about the Fatty Chen. In his view, after he had been underwater for two days, it was time for Fatty Chen to leave.
He carried the white cat and said to Elsa, "Let's head in the direction of my house first." Along the way, he was thinking of a way to cover for Elsa.
He only hoped that he wouldn't meet anyone good along the way. However, after Cao Fang's development plans were put on hold, it had become even more desolate than before. As long as Zhou Heng bypassed the only village in the area, it would be difficult for him to meet other people before returning to the Coastal City.
As for Elsa, who was carrying the white cat in her arms, she suddenly thought of something. She also had a pet, which was the gigantic Lantern Fish Xiao Hui.
How is Xiao Hui? Is it still okay in the water throne? Elsa decided that after she had played enough in the human world, she would return to water throne to look for Xiao Hui. Elsa did not know about the destruction of the water throne, nor did she know that Xiao Hui had sacrificed himself to save them.
She and Xiao Hui would never meet again.
Elsa and Zhou Heng walked side by side, she looked at the white cat in Zhou Heng's arms. Although she had never seen such a small animal under the water, Elsa felt that the white cat's every move was extremely adorable.
As for the white cat, it was still lying lazily in Zhou Heng's embrace as usual. Only it would occasionally open its eyes to take a look at its surroundings, not caring about Elsa who was beside Zhou Heng at all.
Elsa noticed that the white cat's eyes were different. The white cat's left eye was blood-red, while its right eye was as blue as the sky.
Elsa seemed to have seen this pair of eyes not too long ago.
