The little girl wasnât very old, she looked about six or seven years old.
The black dirt on her face seemed to have just been scraped off, revealing a pure and lovely little face.
"Yaya! You... how did you get out!"
Suddenly, a woman quickly walked forward, bowed to Lin Yi, fearing that her child might cause trouble for Lin Yi.
"Mom, I know, it was this big brother who chased away the bad people and rescued Yaya, mom, and many uncles and aunties!"
"We must learn to be grateful, thatâs what you taught me, mom!"
"So, big brother, Yaya invites you to have milk candy!"
The little girl opened her hands, holding a piece of candy whose wrapper was already crumpled and somewhat dirty.
This scene directly moved numerous fellow Xia passengers in the cabin to tears!
They had just not recognized Lin Yi!
On one hand, Lin Yi was previously in the form enveloped by golden wilderness flames; on another, they were somewhat intimidated by Lin Yiâs thunderous methods.
But a childâs thinking is always simple and pure; she recognized Lin Yi and expressed her gratitude in her own way.
Lin Yi looked at the little girl, and at this moment, he also felt a warmth in his heart.
He finally understood why saving others could bring such a great sense of accomplishment and gratification.
Perhaps itâs for a smile like this, a thank you like that!
Thud!
Yayaâs mother suddenly knelt down, tearfully expressing her gratitude to Lin Yi: "So it was you who saved us, Iâm sorry! Thank you... thank you!"
"If it werenât for you, Yaya might have already... sobbing!"
The woman couldnât help it as she spoke, crying her heart out.
Thud!
Thud!
Throughout the cabin, more and more rescued individuals, eyes filled with tears, knelt down.
Constantly saying thank you.
Many people who had been close to Yaya and her mother wiped away tears, saying, "Yaya is so cute and sensible; we were afraid those beasts would harm her, so we had to smear mud on her face."
"Make her look ugly..."
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt anger in his heart.
Even the term âbeastâ isnât enough to describe those East Japan scums!
Such a young child, yet they wouldnât spare her, wanting to violate her?!
But everything was over.
Now theyâre all rescued!
Clap clap clap!
Such a touching moment, immediately led numerous Xia professionals in the cabin to applaud Lin Yi!
This task was almost completed by Lin Yi alone.
I wonder how many merit points he will receive this time!
...
Lin Yi, since he didnât need to be responsible for any handing over work and was still just a student at Shenxiao, returned to the Celestial Patrol Ship where Nangong Ling and others were stationed shortly after.
"Ah?"
"Why didnât you say earlier?!"
Lin Yi was dumbfounded, his heart skipped a beat.
Just seconds ago, Nangong Ling told him a fact that made him sweat profuselyâ
The Pan-Asian Youth Professional Peak Competition started this morning.
Normally, he should have reported to the competition venue at Xia East Sea Penglai Island long ago.
Nangong Ling rolled his eyes: "Someone dropped my call more than an hour ago."
Lin Yi wore a bitter expression.
He remembered, Nangong Ling indeed said there was something important to tell him, and it might be too late.
Only at that time, he was full of anger and didnât ask what the specific matter was, so he hung up the call...
Now heâs feeling the ache!
This is the only chance on Blue Star to acquire a Martial Soul, Lin Yi doesnât want to miss it this year.
If he waits until next year, who knows, his child might already be running errands by then.
"If I report now, is there still a chance to participate?"
Nangong Ling: "Originally there wouldnât have been any chance; if you were late, they would skip your draw directly, naturally leaving no opportunity."
"But now the situation has taken a turn."
Lin Yiâs eyes lit up.
Listening to Nangong Lingâs tone, thereâs still a chance!
"Penglai Island is also in our Xia East Sea waters."
"Itâs only over 3000 nautical miles away from Wind Rope Island."
"Speaking of which, a hundred years ago, Wind Rope Island was not called Wind Rope Island, but Ryukyu."
"In any case, they all count as part of our Xia Sea Territory."
"Precisely because itâs close, the good deed you did has already been communicated over there."
"The Pan-Asian Youth Professional Peak Competition organizing committee just announced the cancellation of the originally scheduled draw ceremony today; when to resume the competition, depends on the circumstances."
Lin Yi was stunned.
While relieved in his heart, he quickly took out his phone.
Scrolling through the current major social platforms.
"Xia-East Japan Killing the Expatriate Conflict Escalates! Tens of thousands of troops from both countries are confronting at Thunder Island!"
"Discussing from the killing of expatriates, a battle between Xia and East Japan is inevitable?"
"Xia Mountains and Rivers War God vs. Two War Gods of East Japan, who is stronger or weaker?"
The first thing that came into view were international news headlines.
Basically, all talking about the extremely tense relationship between Xia and East Japan right now.
However, dominating the current hottest topic has already something to do with him.
"Undersea Volcano Eruption? This Morning East Japanâs Wind Rope Island Sinks Beneath the Sea!"
"Thunder Island Stand-off Resolved! Mysterious Descent Abyss Expert Appears!"
"Mysterious Expert Makes a Move! Terrifying Fire Skills! Thunder Island Melts into Sea!"
"East Japan Leadership Enraged! Investigation into Sinking Events of Wind Rope and Thunder Islands Launched!"
Lin Yi saw himself in these news articles.
It must be said, wrapped in golden wilderness flames, he looked impressively handsome.
"Do you know what kind of commotion youâve stirred up by consecutively destroying two East Japan islands?"
"Originally, our conflict with East Japan is the hottest topic on Blue Star, now with an incident like this."
"You could say, the worldâs attention is focused here now."
"You can also consider this as making a name for yourself; take a look at your new title."
Nangong Ling held out his phone to Lin Yi.
At this moment, Nangong Ling had opened a webpage labeled "Descent Abyss Threat Rankings."
At this time, printed on the phone screen was exactly the image of himself in the previous Blaze Ascendancy state.
"Number: DA-1699"
"Former Designation: Abyss Flame Emperor"
"Current Designation: Flame Emperor Demon Monarch"
"Previous Threat Rating: SS-Class"
"Current Threat Rating: SSS-Class"
"Strength Estimated: At least Emperor Level"
"A Demon Monarch-level powerhouse of Descent Abyss Realm commanding high-temperature blue flames and even more terrifying golden flames, the specific origin from which Descent Abyss World is still unknown."
"Once appeared in the dungeon City of Fading Light, Feilieka, and later again over Thunder Island off the coast of East Japan."
"Single-handedly led to the melting and sinking of Wind Rope Island and Thunder Island."
"Former Rank: SS-47"
"Current Rank: SSS-106"
"Currently, thereâs extremely limited data on witnessing this Descent Abyss Demon Monarch, and it cannot be ruled out that threat level and position may continue to rise."
Lin Yi was speechless.
Thinking for a while, he said: "Should I tell these threat data collection sites that Iâm not an Abyss Demon Monarch?"
Nangong Ling chuckled: "I find it quite interesting, maybe right now across the Blue Star dimension, Descent Abyss worshipers blindly idolizing you are expanding at an extremely frightening speed."
"For your protection, the principal and our Xia officials likely wonât easily disclose to other forces that youâre the Flame Emperor Demon Monarch."
"However, I think people from East Japan arenât that dumb; they certainly wouldnât believe their islands sinking was truly caused by Descent Abyss entities."
"Very likely, theyâve already targeted you."
"Alright, in any case, return to Shenxiao first, the principal wants to see you, besides, youâve completed all your fourth transformation tasks, you should proceed to complete the job transformation."
