Chapter 633 - 238: Resurrection
The night was pitch-black with only a few stars scattered across the sea, and occasionally, the sea breeze would blow over, causing the ocean to roar as it crashed against the rocks.
In the depths of the Abyss, where darkness seemed bottomless, a flicker of pearlescent light shimmered on and off, attracting schools of fish that swam towards the glow.
Inside the Medicine Realm, Qin Qin’s body emitted an increasingly radiant white light. Then, the pearlescent luminescence dispersed, and the space around her began to undulate more and more intensely. Xiao Fong on the ground was enveloped in white light and vanished into the space along with Qin Qin, where one could faintly make out an Exquisite figure with a stunningly beautiful face.
A thousand meters down at the ocean floor, it suddenly lit up as if it were daylight. A beam of light shot up from the depths, and a violent tremor came from below, scattering the schools of fish until calmness returned after a long while.
On a rickety fishing boat, three men sighed in despair. One particularly short, dark-skinned man shook his head as he looked out at the sea, "Nowadays, the fish are getting harder to catch. We’ve come so far, and still, we haven’t caught many. How are we going to live this way?"
The three were brothers, with parents in their eighties at home. He was the eldest, his wife seriously ill, and his son and daughter needed schooling; without money, what were they to do?
Originally from Harbor City, a coastal city hundreds of miles from this sea, they were fishermen with a decent life. But the youngest brother was addicted to gambling. When debt collectors came knocking, they had no choice but to sell all their possessions to cover his debts. After that, poverty struck their three families, and the youngest brother’s wife even divorced him over the ordeal.
Since Harbor City was close to the sea, it was home to many fishermen. With others fishing nearby, they could hardly catch enough and had to travel farther. Hearing about the abundance of fish in these waters, they had come from early morning and, while fishing, reached this spot. Indeed, they found fish, but far fewer than expected, causing the eldest brother great worry.
The second brother, as dark-skinned as the eldest, sighed and smoked his cigarette fiercely without a word.
The youngest brother looked to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion and handsome features. However, his face carried an air of cunning shrewdness, and his eyes always seemed to be scheming.
"Big brother, second brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be alive," the youngest brother said, slapping his own face hard, showing remorse. He hadn’t told his brothers that the day before he had again gambled away a considerable sum, incurring more debt. That’s why he had taken to the sea with them today, hoping to catch more fish, but things had turned out this way.
