The first things he saw were various ocean scenes: magnificent waves, beautiful sunrises, and the twilight sunset…
All sorts of beautiful pictures, pleasing to the eye.
But suddenly, one picture caught his attention, and he couldn't help but speak, "When did you sneak photos of me? And your photography skills aren't good! Why do I look so old in this one?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "That person isn't you, the one behind is! I didn't expect you to mistake yourself! It seems the problem isn't with me!"
As she spoke, she directly flipped to the next picture and showed it to Ye Feng.
"Huh? Then who was in the picture just now?" Ye Feng asked, confused.
Murong Xue explained, "That's Uncle Qin Mingyuan! Did you notice how alike you two are? Almost identical!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Qin Mingyuan's picture again and said, "Is this how Uncle Qin looks now? He really does look alike!"
"Oh, right! It's not just the two of you who look alike; even Grandpa Qin looks very much like you!"
Murong Xue said this while flipping through Grandpa Qin's photos.
Indeed, apart from his aged skin, Grandpa Qin's facial contours were almost the same as theirs.
"Whoa, this is truly strange! They really do look alike!" Ye Feng was also a bit bewildered.
Murong Xue chuckled and said, "Hehe, could those two be your grandfather and father!"
"How could that be..." Ye Feng murmured softly, finding it hard to believe.
The next second, he quickly asked, "Right! Where are Uncle Qin and the others? I haven't seen them in a long time!"
Hearing this, Murong Xue looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't they tell you?"
Ye Feng frowned, "No? What's wrong?"
"They've already left. They said you were too busy and would tell you over the phone! Why didn't they say anything?" Murong Xue replied.
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt utterly speechless and immediately called Grandpa Qin and the others.
After a while, Ye Feng showed a look of disappointment because they had indeed left.
However, what Ye Feng didn't know was that at that very moment, in Haidao Village, Grandpa Qin and the others were at Ye Feng's house.
Ye Feng's mother was embracing a man, tears of joy streaming down her face. That man was none other than Qin Mingyuan.
"It's great that you're alive! I knew you wouldn't abandon your mother and son!" the mother said, trembling with emotion.
"I'm sorry, you've suffered so much these past years," Qin Mingyuan said, stroking his mother's hair to comfort her.
After a long while, they separated, and then Qin Mingyuan recounted his experiences over the years and the reasons for his absence.
After listening, his mother sighed repeatedly, giving thanks to heaven for its protection.
"Right, if our son knew you were alive, he'd be overjoyed!" the mother said, reaching for her phone to call Ye Feng.
But Qin Mingyuan stopped her and told her that they had met Ye Feng and lived with him on Luanshi Island for some time.
After hearing this, the mother asked in confusion, "Why didn't you reveal yourselves to him?"
"My family matters are very dangerous. Revealing ourselves would only put him in greater peril. We can't acknowledge him yet! Besides, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father all these years, and I'm too ashamed to face him..." Qin Mingyuan explained.
After listening, the mother didn't insist on them revealing themselves and instead asked them to stay in Haidao Village for a few days.
Back on Luanshi Island, seeing Ye Feng's puzzled expression, Murong Xue laughed and said, "Haha, I was just kidding! By the way, I've almost mastered the medical skills you taught me. Isn't it time for you to teach me something new?"
Ye Feng stepped forward and put his arm around her slender waist, smiling, "Yes, but how will you repay me?"
"You rascal, it's broad daylight, and people might see. Come to my room tonight..." Murong Xue winked at Ye Feng.
Next, Ye Feng went to check on his aquaculture pens.
After a period of absence, the various seafood in the aquaculture pens had grown to a level that shocked even Ye Feng.
It could be said that every aquaculture pen was overflowing, with some even seeming too small to contain them.
The number of blue lobsters in the first pen had multiplied several times, making the area a deep blue. The lobsters, with their claws raised, were moving about as if welcoming their owner.
In the second pen, yellow croakers swam rapidly, appearing to be in a speed race, occasionally leaping out of the water to glimpse the outside world.
The third pen was different from the second. It contained Chinese mitten crabs, their colors being incredibly vibrant, making the entire pen seem like a colorful world, astonishingly beautiful.
The fourth aquaculture pen...
"This is great! With the Seven Islands project nearing completion, we'll need all this seafood!"
Ye Feng was very happy looking at the overflowing aquaculture pens.
Furthermore, Ye Feng felt that as he broke through to the sixth level of the Sea God's cultivation technique, the Sea God's power emanating from the Sea God Temple was becoming increasingly potent.
He estimated that it wouldn't be long before he needed to expand the aquaculture pens again.
However, for now, he would focus on consuming the current stock. Whether to expand would depend on the situation.
"I wonder how the construction of the Seven Islands project is going? I'll rest for a day and check the situation tomorrow!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Night fell quickly. As soon as it got dark, Ye Feng received a message from Murong Xue, which simply said: "Come to my room quickly!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of desire and headed straight for Murong Xue's room.
After they had their passionate encounter for an hour, things finally calmed down.
The next morning, Ye Feng, who was still holding Murong Xue, was woken up by a phone call.
He picked it up and saw it was from Xiao Feifei. He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and rushed out to answer the call.
"Hello, Feifei, what's up?" Ye Feng asked.
However, the voice on the other end was not Xiao Feifei's, but a cold, unfamiliar male voice.
"Hello, Ye Feng, is that you?"
Hearing this voice, Ye Feng felt a sense of dread and quickly shouted, "Who are you? Why is Feifei's phone with you?"
The next second, the other party said, "Your girlfriend has been kidnapped by us. Come to the abandoned factory north of the city center immediately!"
"Remember to come alone, or I'll kill your little girlfriend! Xiao Feifei, come on, call out a couple of times so your boyfriend can hear you!"
The next second, Xiao Feifei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ye Feng, don't come for me, don't come, they..."
However, before Xiao Feifei could finish, her words were suddenly cut off.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and come, or she'll be in danger!" After saying this, the other party hung up without hesitation.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was filled with rage. How dare someone kidnap his girlfriend!
However, he had no time to ponder. He immediately set off for the city center, his heart burning with anger.
