Journey to the Mysterious Sea

Madam Feng looked hurried, as if she was swept by a violent hurricane, and her steps were so rapid that people felt that she would fall down in the next second. She walked hurriedly like the wind, her hair flying in the wind, and her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness. She stretched out her slightly rough hands with traces of time without hesitation. The skin of her hands was not only slightly loose, but also had a dull color. Some small scars could be seen faintly at the joints. These scars were like the marks of time, and seemed to silently tell the vicissitudes of her past. Every wrinkle and every scar on her hands carried the hardships and tribulations of her life.

She held the woman's hand tightly, her tone heavy as if she was carrying a heavy weight, and she said slowly: "He is indeed dead, but you must be strong. If he knew about this, he would never want to see you so lost and lifeless now. Remember, life must go on, and you can't be defeated so easily."

Hearing this, Alice's expression instantly became extremely ugly. Her face, which was originally exquisite and perfect as if it was carefully carved, now looked like a precious painting that was ruthlessly destroyed. The glory of the past had disappeared without a trace. Her fair skin now looked a little pale, like porcelain that had lost its vitality, losing its original luster and warmth. Her originally rosy lips also lost their blood color, and looked dry and haggard, like a flower that had lost its moisture. Her eyes revealed deep despair and helplessness, and this despair seemed like an endless dark abyss that ruthlessly swallowed her whole body and made it difficult for her to extricate herself.

She said slowly, "He died, but he left behind such a huge mess. I am afraid that I will have to live under the shadow of being hunted by others until the end of my life. The endless fear is like a ghost, lingering in my heart all the time, making me restless and unable to breathe for a moment. Every night, I seem to hear the footsteps of the pursuer echoing in my ears. The fear follows me like a shadow, making me unable to sleep and my spirit is on the verge of collapse. I feel like a lonely boat, drifting in this stormy ocean, and may be swallowed by the surging waves at any time. The surging waves hit my fragile boat again and again, making me feel extremely desperate and helpless."

Wang Xunhai frowned, and the wrinkles on his brows were like a heavy mountain, pressing him so hard that he seemed to be unable to breathe, as if carrying his endless restlessness and anxiety. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, showing his inner restlessness. He took a step forward, and the dust under his feet rose slightly and spread in the air. The dust was particularly clear under the sunlight, like a thin layer of fog covering him, making his figure seem a little blurry. With a hint of doubt and impatience in his tone, he asked, "So what do you want to say?"

Alice slowly raised her head, with a serious and solemn expression on her face. Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she had made some kind of unshakable determination. There was a flicker of determination in her eyes, and she said, "There is only a power and money transaction between him and me, and there is no emotion at all. Therefore, I can't go with you. I want to leave here and find a peaceful place of my own, a place that can keep me away from all these disputes. There, I can start my life again and no longer be troubled by these disturbances. What I long for is peace and tranquility, not this endless struggle and trouble. That peaceful place is the safe haven in my heart and my hope to escape from all this."

Wang Xunhai waved his hand disapprovingly, with a hint of disdain on his face, as if to say that all this had nothing to do with him. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm, and he said: "It's up to you, you can leave as you like, you can go wherever you want, it has nothing to do with us, and we won't interfere. You go your way, I go mine, let's say goodbye, and have nothing to do with each other from now on. I don't want to be involved in these troubles by you, you'd better disappear from my sight and stop bothering me. I don't have that much free time to accompany you to toss."

Alice slowly stood up after hearing this. She looked a little tired, as if she had gone through a long and difficult journey. Her hair was a little messy, like a mess of silk threads, losing its original smoothness and luster. There was also some dust on her clothes, and she looked a little embarrassed, but there was a sly look in her eyes, as eye-catching as a star in the night. She said, "I want 10 gold coins."

Wang Xunhai gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and the anger seemed to be about to erupt like a volcano. He clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white because of the force, as if he wanted to condense all his anger into this fist. His breathing became rapid, and he said, "I'll collect the money for you now. Take 10 gold coins and leave here quickly! Don't be an eyesore here anymore. I don't want to see you again! You greedy woman, you always get more and more! Your desire is like a bottomless pit, which can never be filled. I've had enough of you!"

Alice couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. Her laughter was full of endless ridicule and indifference, as if she had lost faith in everything in this world, full of disdain and disgust. Her laughter reverberated in the empty air, like a cold blade, piercing people's hearts, making people feel a bone-chilling chill rising from their spines. She said slowly, "I want to go with John Lee."

Wang Xunhai's eyes suddenly became fierce, like a hungry beast about to pounce on its prey. There seemed to be a blazing fire in his eyes. The angry eyes seemed to have a terrible power, as if they could burn everything in front of him to ashes. His thunderous voice rang out: "Don't push your luck! Don't think I will always tolerate you without limits! Li Yuehan has nothing to do with this matter at all. Why did you involve him for no reason? You selfish woman, I've had enough of you! You have always only considered your own interests and completely ignored the feelings of others. Your every move, every word and deed makes people feel extremely disgusted and angry! Your greedy and selfish nature has made me unbearable. My patience with you has reached its limit!"
