Wu Shiqin frowned, "You men, why are each of you so... despicable and lecherous?"

"I'm just sighing. The calculators of Wanfa Sect's disciples in legends, Ding and Wu Districts are supposed to be filled with... cough cough..."

Speechless, Wu Shiqin was at a loss for words. Ai Changyuan then asked, "Senior Sister, are you still able to fight?"

"I can't engage in combat with others." Wu Shiqin pointed at her leg.

"Mana?"

"Down to half."

"My mana has hit rock bottom." Ai Changyuan placed his hand on the calculator, "It seems we should contact the others first."

Inside this calculator were only two or three Path Ranks, all installed by Wang Qi in advance to prevent this kind of situation, including positioning, map, and communication. Ai Changyuan switched to the map. There were five light spots on the map, two of which were on another island, and the other three were split into two groups, each at one end of an island. Comparing it with the sea chart in his mind, Ai Changyuan judged, "We are on Dragon Six Island, on the west side... we've been blown quite far."

"There are two people at Dragon Five Island, two others at the other end of Dragon Six Island. It seems we were lucky enough to land together." Wu Shiqin determined, "It's a pity Brother Changguang didn't exchange calculators with us; otherwise, we could have gone straight to him."

"I still remember the state of affairs before that Dragon Clan member self-destructed. Miss Mao was closer, and Wang Qi went to protect her. The Cave Heaven Comparison Ruler should ensure they've dodged the worst of it. Brother Guang is the closest to Qianqian; if she's still alive, then he won't be too far from her."

"Find Senior Sister Lu first?"

Ai Changyuan started by activating the Path Rank meant for communication, "We'll find out after making contact."

The Spirit Light on the calculator flickered a few times, and then Lu Qianqian's panicked voice came through, "Changyuan, Changyuan, is that you..."

Ai Changyuan's tone softened a bit, "Don't panic, what's happened?"

"There's... there are Demon Beasts! Brother Changguang and I are surrounded..."

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Ai Changyuan himself nearly panicked, "Is Brother Guang by your side? You're still surrounded? How is he?"

"Brother Guang has passed out, he won't wake up... Changyuan, Changyuan, are you on Dragon Five Island or Dragon Six Island? Hurry, hurry over!"

Ai Changyuan felt more at ease upon hearing this, "I see. Even if Brother Guang has passed out, the Qi Intent on him is not that of a mere mortal. In the eyes of the Demon Beasts, he's a piece of fine meat..."

"Changyuan, that's a bit too much..."

"Since the Demon Beasts have already surrounded you, yet they haven't eaten that piece of meat, that indicates the Demon Beasts are not that strong..."

"I built a fire, for now, they don't dare come close..."

"Darn, that's just a bunch of wild beasts!" Ai Changyuan almost laughed out loud, "Qianqian, you're so adorable."

"You saying this... I'm not going to be happy about it! Now is not the time for such talk!"

Ai Changyuan was uncontrollably amused, "Too adorable—right, Senior Sister?"

"Changyuan!"

Wu Shiqin rolled her eyes.

Ai Changyuan continued, "Qianqian, I remember your Martial Arts being top-notch, right?"

"What about it?"

"Barehanded, or using ordinary swordsmanship, don't activate the full might of your Magic Artifacts," Ai Changyuan said, "Fight your way out, getting hurt a bit now doesn't matter, try not to use mana... wait, if you have Elixirs on you, make sure to recover your condition."

As he said this, Ai Changyuan seemed to have remembered something and took out a pack of jerky to chew, tossing an apple to Wu Shiqin.

Having heard Ai Changyuan's instructions, Lu Qianqian quickly calmed down. She asked, "Can't I use spells at all?"

"Only if your life is in danger," Ai Changyuan emphasized.

"Why not?" asked Lu Qianqian, puzzled.

Wu Shiqin, equally mystified, chewed on her apple and asked, "I used them just now too."

"You weren't stopped earlier, so it was fine, but don't use them now." Wang Qi's voice joined the conversation, "I agree with Old Ai on this one."

"Wang Qi? Are you alright? Where are you now?" Wu Shiqin snatched the calculator and asked.

"I'm not doing great; I'm still carrying someone, and my Magic Artifacts are nearly destroyed..."

Ai Changyuan snatched back the calculator, asking, "Qianqian, how about you?"

"Me? I'm alright. Not hurt, and I still have some mana left..."

Wu Shiqin glared at Ai Changyuan, "Do you only care about your lover?"

Ai Changyuan ignored the comment. Wang Qi explained in the conversation, "That dragon also said earlier, 'evade'."

"If it said 'evade', that means there's danger." Ai Changyuan went on to elaborate, "Its words were broken, but the key points were made clear, 'Ao Tian' 'is changing', indicating an issue with the West Sea Dragon King, those two dragons just now might have been harmed by him behind the scenes. Now, who knows, there may be a lot of Sea Demons monitoring this place. I don't know what 'Parasitic Beasts' are, but I'm sure they're nothing good."

"It also mentioned 'Temple', is it suggesting we hide among the ruins of the Demon Clan?" Wu Shiqin frowned, "There's danger in the ruins of the Demon Clan, but there might be a chance for survival... Wang Qi, the dragon..."

Thwack! For some unknown reason, Ai Changyuan suddenly slapped Wu Shiqin on the forehead, pushing her head away, "My opinion is, let's rest for now and go after we've recovered some mana."

"Agreed."

Wu Shiqin brushed Ai Changyuan's hand away and snapped, "Are you sick!"

"Hey hey, shouldn't siblings behave like this?"

Ai Changyuan pulled out a banana, swallowed it in a few bites, his expression wicked and wild.

Wu Shiqin got goosebumps, "What do you mean? Senior Sister Lu is still listening, are you looking for thrills?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Qi spoke again, "Lastly, there's 'the monkeys that escaped to the mainland', there haven't been any Primate Demon Clans migrating to the sea in the last tens of thousands of years, right?"

Ai Changyuan took out an apple and shouted over, "Qianqian, remember to find a place to hide with Brother Guang over there! Remember! Brother Guang and I grew up together; we're closer than blood brothers..."

"Okay, I will... take care..." said Lu Qianqian, "You too..."

While Ai Changyuan continued his nonsense, Wu Shiqin suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, there has been a Primate Demon Clan that migrated to the sea in the last ten thousand years. Humans are also a special kind of demon in the eyes of the Demon Clan..."

Before she could finish, Ai Changyuan had already tossed the calculator and pounced on Wu Shiqin. Wu Shiqin exclaimed in shock, "What are you freaking out about!"

Ai Changyuan chuckled a few times, then let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, "Spare my life, hero!"

Behind him, a ghostly blue Flying Sword hovered. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it with a recommendation ticket or a monthly ticket at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
