“Argh!”
Ynes, whose flesh had been lacerated by the explosion, screamed in horror. After her hair became scattered, the roots planted with black smoke, her fingers that had come in contact with the huge golden cocoon were also pitch-black and were still numb now.
“My hand!”
“My hair! Oh my god!”
Currently, the first beauty of the Western Ridge looked as wretched as a grilled duck. The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said, “He’s now in the critical period of merging with the divine bone. Don’t touch him. This is going to take some time, at least three to five days. Let’s deal with this shark first. Although it’s smaller than before, we can’t possibly cross the Endless Sea unless we do so.”
Ynes complained helplessly in her heart. “The Endless Sea is boundless, yet you guys want to cross it? Are you guys not afraid of death?”
“You don’t have to go with us if you don’t want to, but you’ll regret it for sure,” replied Mystic Maiden.
Ynes glanced in the direction of the continent and said faintly, “The world is so vast, yet I don’t feel at home in this world. If I don’t follow you guys, where else can I go?”
After a pause, she continued, “Sis, do you fancy Alex Rockefeller?”
Mystic Maiden was speechless.
***
Mystic Maiden had initially thought that Alex would end his seclusion and emerge from his cocoon after seven days at most. However, she had to wait for a total of ten days.
Crack! Crack!
At this moment, the luster on the huge golden cocoon no longer had the original brilliance, leaving behind what seemed like solidified golden residue. As all the light retracted, it emitted a sound like a cracking egg.
Bam!
As the golden eggshell shattered, a hand reached out first. Then, an entire person broke out of the egg.
It was Alex Rockefeller!
Alex rushed out of the spell formation and fell into the water. Little by little, he cleaned off the blood scabs on his body.
When he was taking a shower, he discovered a problem. His clothes looked broad for some unknown reason, especially the waistband of his pants that looked much thicker. When he looked carefully at his hands, he gasped…
‘These hands. Are these my hands?’
‘They are too small, right?’
Alex looked at his hands in disbelief as they were two sizes smaller than his normal hands.
Then, he hurriedly looked at his feet, legs, and especially the crotch…
Oh gosh!
No wonder he felt that the pants were big.
