Chapter 729: Chapter 729
Lin Chen dived into the seabed and saw that the waters were crystal clear; schools of small fish swam around in a beautiful dance.
It was at that moment that Lin Chen felt a murderous aura behind him, and three sharks charged toward him with menacing ferocity.
"Damn, there really are sharks! Thankfully, I've mastered the beast control technique."
Sharks are known as kings of the ocean depths. Even the powerful Eighth Prince nearly lost his life to a shark bite and was almost buried at sea.
However, once Lin Chen employed the beast control technique, the three sharks that had intended to attack him suddenly became as docile as pets.
With the guidance of the three sharks, Lin Chen quickly found the location of the Water Spirit Heart.
Due to the passage of time, the coordinates had shifted significantly.
The location of the Water Spirit Heart was a sunken ship, which seemed to have been lying there for years, covered in rust.
Just as Lin Chen approached, his warning bracelet lit up.
"Danger?" Lin Chen's gaze sharpened.
All of a sudden, a tentacle covered with suckers coiled toward Lin Chen.
"Holy crap, an octopus."
Lin Chen's face turned pale as he swiftly retreated while controlling the three sharks to rush toward the octopus.
Lin Chen had wanted to try taming the octopus, but for some reason, he failed.
The three sharks immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the octopus at the bottom of the sea.
The octopus was very large, and its eight tentacles with suckers were terrifying.
Even the sharks, kings of the ocean depths, struggled against this octopus.
Lin Chen snorted coldly, and while the octopus was distracted by the sharks, he flipped his wrist, and a golden chain rapidly wrapped around the octopus.
Flashes of lightning sparkled, and the octopus, which had been ferocious moments before, was instantly stunned.
The three sharks swarmed over, and the poor octopus became their meal.
Lin Chen entered the sunken ship, feeling elated.
The ship must have been one that transported treasures, but for some unknown reason, it was sunk.
Inside the cabin, piled with countless treasures, Lin Chen quickly found the box containing the Water Spirit Heart with the help of the scanning feature from the Qi Sea system.
After sweeping the cabin clean of treasures, Lin Chen finally surfaced.
At that moment, the ship's captain looked on in shock as Lin Chen emerged from the sea.
When the three sharks had been battling the octopus, the captain, watching the churning waves above, thought Lin Chen was surely dead.
The captain had planned to wait another hour for Lin Chen; if he didn't surface by then, he would leave.
After Lin Chen boarded the ship, the captain exclaimed in shock, "You're actually alive! How did you escape? Just now, I saw three sharks moving around."
"I hid in the coral and they didn't spot me; I only came out after they had swum away," Lin Chen explained with a smile.
Back on shore, Lin Chen immediately found a secluded spot to open the brocade box.
As soon as he opened the brocade box, Lin Chen felt a surge of water spirit energy emanating from within.
Inside was a heart-shaped water orb, which Lin Chen placed his hand upon.
Suddenly, a rush of water spirit energy instantly entered Lin Chen's body.
In Lin Chen's Qi Sea, the symbol representing the water spirit lit up. Now, within the Five Elements, Lin Chen possessed metal, wood, water, and fire, with only the Earth Spirit Heart remaining.
Lin Chen wondered what kind of changes would occur in his Qi Sea once he had gathered the Earth Spirit Heart!
Tomorrow, Lin Chen was going to leave Man City. He came to the company to resign to Sophina.
In fact, when he first joined the company, Lin Chen's intentions weren't pure; he was completely after the "Heart of Water Spirit".
However, with his interactions with Sophina, he felt that she was a pretty nice girl.
Although Sophina often acted coldly towards him, Lin Chen could feel that she actually cared about him quite a bit.
Lin Chen arrived at the president's office where Sophina was looking down at some documents.
Seeing Lin Chen, Sophina said coldly, "So you remember to come to work, huh? Forget about this month's bonus."
This time, Lin Chen didn't talk back; instead, he just smiled and watched Sophina get angry.
Sophina thought Lin Chen would beg for mercy but when she raised her head, she found this guy looking at her with a sly grin.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Sophina unconsciously looked down at the buttons of her blouse.
Lin Chen said with an awkward smile, "Sophina, I'm leaving, I've come to resign."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Sophina's body tremble violently.
Her grandfather and Sophina had said that Lin Chen was not meant for a small pond and that he would definitely leave one day.
Sophina had been lying to herself because, in fact, she thought about Lin Chen every day.
But she dared not call him, fearing she would hear the news that he was leaving.
She never expected that the day would still come.
"Do you think I'm not paying you enough? I can give you a raise. How much do you want, a hundred thousand, a million?" Sophina said somewhat excitedly.
Lin Chen sighed, "Sophina, you know money isn't important to me."
Sophina's eyes reddened slightly, "Do you really have to go?"
Lin Chen nodded, "I still have many things to do, I'm sorry!"
"Oh!" To his surprise, Sophina stood up.
"But today you're still my employee, so today you must listen to me," Sophina said with an air of authority.
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, today I am yours."
However, after he spoke, Lin Chen felt his answer had a strange implication.
"I want to go to the amusement park, drive me there," Sophina said as she walked into the changing room.
"The amusement park?" Lin Chen was surprised for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
Looking at the silhouette in the changing room, Lin Chen couldn't resist activating his x-ray vision.
Her S-shaped figure, flawless skin, and those soaring peaks gave Lin Chen the urge to nosebleed.
Unfortunately, although he always claimed to be her husband, he hadn't conquered this exquisite beauty, which he found quite frustrating.
It wasn't long before Sophina walked out of the changing room.
Seeing Sophina dressed in a casual T-shirt and a miniskirt, Lin Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
She was a completely different person from the gorgeous president just a moment ago. Now, Sophina exuded a fresh vibe, like a newly bloomed lily, radiating an irresistible youthful fragrance.
"Let's go, you drive." Saying that, Sophina tossed the car keys to Lin Chen.
The two entered the amusement park, and Sophina was like the girl next door, pulling Lin Chen onto the merry-go-round, eating ice cream together, and playfully smearing the cream from the ice cream on Lin Chen's nose.
With one game after another, Sophina was having a great time, and under her influence, Lin Chen also forgot his worries.
Running from one game to another, Sophina clung to Lin Chen's arm like a smitten bird, sweet as a girl in the throes of first love.
In the haunted house, Sophina clung tightly to Lin Chen's arm. She could feel her heart pounding, not out of fear but because holding onto that man felt so blissful.
