With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Yi sent the secret ship, the Great Sea Loach, flying out and landing in the sea, transforming into a ship about ten zhang long. Then, with a burst of his magic, the ship transformed into the shape of a golden-scaled loach and burrowed into the sea.
"Is it this?" Lin Yi asked.
Zen Yinsha nodded and said, "That's right."
Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked, "I can lend you the boat, but what will you use as collateral?"
Upon hearing this, Chan Yinsha gritted her teeth. She, the Silver Shark Queen and Princess of Chuyun Kingdom, was not the kind of person who would borrow a boat and not return it.
Lin Yi remembered that Chan Yinsha was a successor of the ancient Shenxiao Dao sect. However, the tragic thing was that the previous generation of Shenxiao Dao successors squandered all their wealth in order to undergo the tribulation of lightning. Therefore, although Chan Yinsha had high magical power, she was penniless and had no powerful magical treasures or artifacts to rely on.
Lin Yi saw Chan Yinsha's predicament; the secret ship, the Great Sea Loach, was no longer of any use to him.
The reason I used it as a mode of transportation when we went to Whale Island was actually to let Jin Xun'er see the underwater scenery.
“I know that you, Silver Shark King, have inherited the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. How about we exchange it for Dao techniques so that I can give you this magic artifact…”
As Lin Yi spoke, he noticed that Chan Yinsha's expression suddenly changed, realizing that his words had touched a taboo.
Zen Yinsha took a few deep breaths, suppressing the restless thoughts in her heart. She glanced at Lin Yi, reached out and patted the silver shark beneath her, softly calling out, "Let's go."
Waves rippled across the sea as a silver shark carried the girl in the yellow dress away.
Lin Yi shook his head, his mind full of complaints, and said, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Jin Xun'er said angrily, "You bad guy, Lin Yi, you're a really bad guy, you only bully pretty girls."
"I..." Lin Yi opened his mouth to defend himself, but he had nothing to say. He had indeed been reckless.
As a rogue cultivator, Lin Yi naturally lacked attachment to the sect's legacy. To demand the sect's teachings in exchange for someone's help was indeed extremely rude, even arrogant and domineering.
"With the breakthrough in cultivation and the increase in power, has my mentality become unbalanced and my Dao heart become clouded?" Lin Yi asked himself.
As the ancient sages of Zen Buddhism once said: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the mind a bright mirror. Constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust."
This is the supreme and wonderful method for cultivating the mind of Tao.
As Confucius said, "I examine myself three times a day."
"I've become arrogant and complacent. Longevity is not immortality; I still have much more to strive for." Lin Yi warned himself. Having stepped onto a new level, he needed to refine his Dao heart to ensure he could go further in the future.
This is similar to how, after a company grows and expands, it needs to introduce new systems, improve its management structure, and motivate its employees to achieve better and faster development.
The principles of spiritual practice are everywhere.
Lin Yi snapped out of his daze, reached out and summoned the secret ship, the Great Sea Loach, which flew into his sleeve and then transformed into a golden rainbow, chasing after the direction where Chan Yinsha had left.
Soon, Lin Yi spotted the silvery-white sharks swimming on the sea surface. The sound of flutes drifted on the wind, plaintive and yearning, like weeping and lamenting, their lingering notes trailing off endlessly.
The golden rainbow disappeared, and Lin Yi appeared on the back of the silver shark.
Zen Silver Gauze seemed oblivious, continuing to play her jade flute.
Lin Yi listened quietly, sharing in Chan Yinsha's loneliness and solitude.
After a long while, Chan Yinsha put away her jade flute and said, "Three hundred years ago, I was a shark in the sea, knowing nothing but eating, hunting, and playing every day. But then I met my mentor, who helped me awaken my intelligence and learn cultivation. Later, when my mentor was undergoing his tribulation, he accidentally scattered his soul. His only wish was for me to pass on the Divine Firmament Path and carry it forward..."
After saying a few words, Chan Yinsha fell silent again.

Chapter 188 A Kiss That Lasts Forever
"I was very rude before, and I apologize to you," Lin Yi said sincerely.
Chan Yinsha turned her head and suddenly smiled. Her smile was like the sunshine after the rain, dazzling and beautiful.
Then, Chan Yinsha stood up, stretching her slender waist, revealing her graceful figure. She spread her arms and said, "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I look at the sky and the sea. Bad moods are like dark clouds in the sky and storms on the sea; they will pass quickly."
Lin Yi understood that this was the reason why the Silver Shark King, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, was able to maintain the heart of a lively young girl.
She is a beautiful spirit born from the vast sky and the boundless sea.
At that moment, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He did not hide his admiration for the stunning beauty before him; his clear eyes were filled with no impurities.
Two blushes appeared on Chan Yinsha's snow-white face. She raised her head slightly, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone. If you continued to look down, you could also see the graceful curves under her yellow silk robe.
"I've realized I've fallen for you," Lin Yi suddenly said.
"Ah!" Chan Yinsha exclaimed in surprise. Lin Yi's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced her heart.
Lin Yi reached out and tightly grasped the girl's hands beside him, turning her slightly stiff body around. Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a moment.
Zen Yinsha's heart was pounding violently, as if it would burst out of her chest at any moment.
"I've never been in a relationship before and I don't know how to pursue a girl. This is our first time meeting, and I know it's rash, but I don't know how to perfectly express my feelings. Please forgive my impulsiveness, okay?"
Lin Yi's voice seemed to come from the horizon, and Chan Yinsha didn't know how she answered.
Growing up in the ocean, accompanied by raging waves, the free-spirited Silver Shark King is also experiencing the taste of love for the first time.
The lonely, solitary soul seems to have found its anchor. Like a ship that has lost its way and drifted aimlessly at sea, it has finally found a harbor to dock in.
The girl in his arms had hazy eyes, her lips slightly parted, and her red lips were luscious and tempting.
Lin Yi lowered his head and kissed him, his passion burning like fire, instantly engulfing his entire body and turning into a raging inferno.
Zen Yinsha's lips were slightly cool, and when their lips met, her body even trembled slightly, her reaction extremely awkward and wooden.
