The sun is rising from the East.

"What a beautiful scene," Lin Wan said.

"This is actually our first time watching the sunrise from the sea, it's quite a unique feeling."

Lu Zheng embraced Lin Wan, and the two sat side by side atop the yacht, watching as the great sun appeared on the sea horizon, rising slowly and illuminating the world with strands of golden light.

"We are really quite new at this; when we get back, let's rent a yacht and go deeper into the sea to feel the vastness and grandeur of the unfathomable ocean."

Lu Zheng glanced back at the nearby shore and then said to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan asked, "Just the two of us?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Just the two of us!"

"Then..." Lin Wan blinked, "Do you know how to operate a yacht?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Lu Zheng looked down and could sense a man in the cockpit skillfully operating various instruments.

"Have the requirements for bodyguards become so high nowadays?" Lu Zheng asked.

"These two clearly carry a hint of military flair; maybe they used to work in the special forces of Mei Country or Myanmar," Lin Wan said.

"Alright." Lu Zheng nodded, "I don't know how long it takes to get a yacht license, but it's definitely too late for this time."

Lin Wan giggled quietly, wrapped her arm around Lu Zheng's, and leaned on his shoulder, "You taking me across the sea with the helicopter door was much more romantic than watching the sunrise on a yacht."

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, "Fine! Not just crossing the sea, I'll take you flying in the sky!"

Lin Wan smiled and was surprised, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "You're almost able to fly?"

Lin Wan had achieved Martial Dao and received Lu Zheng's teachings from the "Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture," although she hadn't cultivated True Qi, she had stepped into the realm of cultivators, knowing related cultivation knowledge.

Flying through the air isn't something regular cultivators can achieve.

"Hehe, almost there!"

After progressing rapidly in cultivation for a year, Lu Zheng entered another phase of rapid advancement.

With Shen Ying extracting Incense and Candle Qi, with Liu Qingyan absorbing Merit Golden Light, and drinking Stalactite Ganoderma Wine, eating Biluo Fruit, Vermilion Fruit, and Jade Essence Pill daily, Lu Zheng's foundation became three-fold stronger than the previous year.

Moreover, since the trip to Jinhua Sect, he hadn't acquired any new cultivation technique, so Lu Zheng's Light of Fortune remained sufficient, and his cultivation realm's progression didn't stall.

It made Lu Zheng slightly embarrassed, at this rate, wouldn't he be invincible soon?

How lonely would that be!

"Invincible is so, so lonely... Invincible is so, so empty..."

"Why are you singing?" Lin Wan asked amusedly.

"Nothing." Lu Zheng said with a serious face, "I was just expressing a momentary sentiment."

Jade Seal, "..."

...

"They're here!" Lin Wan adjusted her posture, looking at a speedboat heading towards the yacht.

With sharp eyes, the two could see that besides the driver, the remaining five on the speedboat were Shadun and his group.

Leading them was Shadun, standing at one meter seventy, slightly plump, with a round face and small eyes, always wearing a friendly smile, looking like a neighborly uncle.

He was simply wearing a floral shirt and a pair of big underpants, completely dressed like a tourist, while the four people behind him were all in formal attire with white shirts and black pants.

The speedboat cut through the waves swiftly, approaching the yacht and reaching the ladder at the back of the yacht.

Shadun and his group boarded the yacht one by one, and then the speedboat turned back in the direction it came from.

"How's the person?" Shadun asked.

"Still locked in the storage room, not dead," one of the bodyguards replied.

Shadun nodded, "Don't kill yet; otherwise, it'll smell too much. Later, just sink him into the sea."

"Yes!"

"Tsk tsk, such a strong killing intent." Lu Zheng smacked his lips.

Lin Wan glanced at Lu Zheng, pouted, but said nothing.

On the yacht, Shadun raised his wrist to check the Patek Philippe and then turned towards the eastern sea, gesturing to a bodyguard.

The bodyguard immediately handed over a telescope.

Shadun took the telescope and stared intently.

Quickly, a similarly spotless white yacht appeared in Shadun's view.

It appeared simultaneously in Lu Zheng and Lin Wan's view.

"Transaction counterpart?"

"Should be."

Seeing someone on the opposite yacht waving towards them, Shadun reciprocated, then turned to the bodyguard piloting the yacht and said, "Set sail and head out to sea."

"Yes!"

...

"Mr. Shadun!"

"Mr. Sonny!"

The yacht sailed further out to sea to meet the other yacht, and a gangway was placed between the two yachts.

A visibly mixed-race middle-aged foreigner from the opposite boat came over.

"Over here, I've specially opened a bottle of 2002 Romanée-Conti."

"Hahaha, thank you so much, Mr. Shadun is too warm-hearted!"

The two full of smiles, arms around shoulders, entered the yacht lounge, followed by their deputies, while the bodyguards stood on the yacht deck.

Lu Zheng took Lin Wan gently off the top of the yacht and strolled into the yacht lounge leisurely, finding a spot away from them to sit down.

Lin Wan pulled out her phone, switched to recording mode, crossed her legs, and set the phone on her knee, starting to film.

"Is it still the usual arrangement this time?"

"No, this time, I want three times the amount."

"So much?" Shadun's eyes flashed with amusement, "With such a large quantity, I might not be able to supply it."

"Hahaha, increase the price by five percent."

Shadun laughed, "Looks like you've found a good way."

...

Shadun and Sonny conversed in English, which Lu Zheng said he understood.

The two soon negotiated the time, location, and manner of the transaction, and Sonny paid Shadun the deposit through the internet on the spot.

Lin Wan recorded all of this on her phone, even capturing the screens when they came to their side to pay the deposit.

With this, Lin Wan's mission two and mission three were completed together.

"Happy cooperation!"

Receiving the deposit, Shadun beamed, grabbed the bottle, poured a glass of red wine each for himself and Sonny.

"Happy cooperation!"

Sonny accepted the wine glass Shadun handed over, lightly clinked glasses, and drank it in one go.

...

After seeing Sonny off, watching the other yacht sail away, Shadun surveyed his surroundings, the endless sea stretching beyond.

"Get that Interpol officer out."

"Yes!"

In short order, two bodyguards dragged out the middle-aged man, while someone else carried a hundred-pound ballast.

"Mmm—mmm—"

The man struggled, trying to speak.

Shadun extended one finger, gently shaking it, silencing his whimper.

"No need to surrender or curse, no need to speak," Shadun smiled, "I neither need an undercover agent from Interpol nor do I want to hear you curse me, so you'd better die."

"Mmm—mmm—"

"Sink him into the sea."

"Yes!"

The two bodyguards turned him around and tossed him and the ballast together into the sea.

"Set sail, back to the hotel."

Shadun drank the Romanée-Conti in his glass down, "I've also booked tickets to the Big Tree Theater show, so don't miss it."
