Chapter 1255: 18.93 First Grey Star - The Silly Fish fainted.
This place also offers escort service inside, so there are a lot of hunters entering this dangerous hunting zone. In addition, most of the ingredients available in this danger zone are legendary-grade and above. Since human hunters find it difficult to fight underwater, the escort service that is offered is in high demand. The business in this danger zone is still as popular as it always has been.
It can be said that Heavenly Guardian Fei\'s business is quite blossoming; he just needs to fight off some ingredients that want to go to the surface, and his strength is enough. There are some merman guards watching over the entrance. They only need to keep the place in order to protect it. Their master will do so.
Normally, it was a typical day for the people under Heavenly Guardian Fei to welcome guests and keep the place in order. Only Joker-class hunters hunt alone in such a place, and the majority of them requested to be escorted.
Unexpectedly, there are more elite groups gathered at the entrance today. The Fishmen guards and other hunters at the scene looked at the small group of six people who appeared to be elite hunters, and they instantly recognized them as hunters connected to the Mo and Lu Clans when they saw the crest of the flaming lion and white snake.
"Who are these hunters? Most of them are spade-class. There are even two Joker-class!?"
"Maybe they are here to hunt on the ocean floor?"
"Is that even possible? I heard I can at most reach the middle region. The ocean floor is in the core region. One sea creature lives there."
"The Lu and Mo Clans are the family of Satan and his wife. Does that mean they care about coming over as well?"
Almost everyone in the crowd was taken aback by this question, and they became ecstatic at the prospect of meeting their idols. It could be argued that Satan and his wife had already achieved the image of God in the hearts of these hunters. After all, their strength was greater than that of the Joker-class hunters, and they were already on par with or stronger than the Heavenly Guardians.
In the office of Heavenly Guardian Fei, who has been overworked for three days and is now slumped on his own table, his subordinates have locked his clamshell bed. When the Fishemen guards heard the possibility of Satan\'s appearance, he dashed inside to inform the master.
In the office of Heavenly Guardian Fei, piles of waterproof papers were stacked at towable heights, and sirens moved them in and out.
After skipping work for days, his responsibilities were stacking up, and he had been working on them for three days straight. He had even forgotten about his escape preparations before the source of his trauma arrived in his territory.
Heavenly Guardian Fei said, "No more. I don\'t have energy. I can\'t feel my hands anymore. Let\'s rest. Let me sleep!!!"
For a high-grade mermaid like him, even if he does not sleep for a month, he will still be full of strength. However, his stress meter had reached the breaking point, making Heavenly Guardian Fei more exhausted than if he had been fighting all day. This was because his subordinates were cruel and would not let him sleep, and he could only eat in the middle of his work.
"Master, you can eat lunch after this last batch. There is still another room half filled with work when you lock yourself in your clam bed."
"One more day of work. Master, I can finally sleep starting tomorrow."
"Little demons. You guys are so bad. I\'m so hungry. Serve me food first!" Heavenly Guardian Fei requested.
The group of sirens looked at each other, helpless; their master is strong, but not too smart, and he hates to work; these past few days, all he is done is stamp those papers, since most of them had been examined and only required approval; their master\'s moodiness had caused many contracts and projects to be delayed.
"Okay, Master. Eat as you work."
"Someone serves lunch to the master!"
A few other palace servants bring it trays of food; Heavenly Guardian Fei\'s subordinates cleared part of the table, and the dish was placed on it, covered with bubble wrap to keep it warm; while the master of the house was eating, a large bubble formed on the table, enclosing Heavenly Guardian Fei; the food inside the bubble fell gently onto the table; only the interior of the bubble is dry, since their master prefers cooked food to raw; this danger zone is where most of the ingredients are found.
Huge grilled salmon, steamed mackerel, takoyaki, and okonomiyaki were among the many varieties of clams that were placed on the table in front of Heavenly Guardian Fei.
Heavenly Guardian Fei\'s nose was assaulted with such delectable dishes that he could not contain his drool and began to eat, seeing the small pile of food in front of him getting smaller and smaller until his subordinates asked the kitchen to bring their master more of everything.
Heavenly Guardian Fei is quite a foodie. Once he held a fork and knife in his hands, he wouldn\'t stop eating until everything on the table disappeared. While the master of the house was enjoying his lunch, a fisherman came running to report.
"Master! Master! There is an urgent report!"
"What\'s wrong with you? Don\'t you see that I am eating? Whatever, just report immediately since it\'s an emergency." Heavenly Guardian Fei choked a bit after swallowing a fist-sized Takoyaki just now and was sipping his tea. He listened to the report as he drank his tea.
"Master, a group of elite hunters ranging from Spade to Joker class had arrived at the gates. They were wearing clothes with the crests of the Lu and Mo Clans! The others had speculated that maybe Venerable Lord Satan and his wife would come by as well."
Splurts!!!
Heavenly Guardian Fei choked on his tea and couldn\'t help but burst it out of his mouth in shock. He even burned his tongue with how hot the tea is—not that it even landed on his clothes—and he started jumping around.
"Hot. Hot. HOT!!"
The water that poured down on him was caused by his subordinates popping the bubble around his table, which ruined his lunch and was quickly cleaned up by the servants. Heavenly Guardian Fei remembers the report\'s contents only after the burning sensation has subsided, and he only remembers the last sentence.
\'Satan and his wife are coming.\'
\'They are coming.\'
\'To his place!?\'
SHRIEKS~
Upon realizing this, Heavenly Guardian Fei let out a terrible cry of fear. Some mermaids attack with their voices, a sound that is primarily audible to marine life. The sirens, fishmen, mermaids, and other sea creatures that are sentient all felt their eardrums burst, with some sirens swimming straight towards their master and covering his mouth. Heavenly Guardian Fei even fought between them.
Puhaa!!!
After he won the struggle to remove the hands covering his mouth, Heavenly Guardian Fei begged, "Let me go! I need to escape. Since they are still not here, it\'s not too late to run!"
"Master, you can\'t run. You owned this place. If the owner is gone, we cannot run the business."
"Master, think about your food, your treasures, and the money!"
"Master, the Venerable Lords wouldn\'t come here to harm you. They might be our potential customers. As long as we serve them right, what happened in the past will be forgotten."
"Master...."
These words were convincing, but not enough for the traumatized fish that almost had all his scales removed by Mo Xuejing. "Ahhhh! No. No. No. Let me go.
I want to run. I want to hide."
"Ah! Report there...!???"
One of Heavenly Guardian Fei\'s direct subordinates noticed the second fisherman guard\'s arrival and was taken aback, as was his coworker, who is now staring at the scene of their master shouting about wanting to flee.
"What is it now? Don\'t you see how busy we are!?"
"Reporting to the superior! Venerable Lord Satan, his wife, children, and a few of their subordinates had come over asking for permission to enter the danger zone!"
The moment this report echoes in the office, the sirens holding on to their master and the struggling Heavenly Guardian Fei look at the guard with an astonished look.
Heavenly Guardian Fei asked, "What did you say?"
"Yes, Master! Reporting that Venerable Lord Satan and his group request permission to enter the Anairam Trench!"
"Heh... Hehehe~" Heavenly Guardian Fei\'s eyes rolled, and he fainted on the spot.
"Ah! Master!!!"
The two Fishmen guards were taken aback by the scene. It was the first time they had seen the master of the house faint, as if he had seen a ghost. His face turned pale white, and his eyes rolled over, revealing only the white in his eyes. The sirens scrambled to check on their master and tried to wake him up, but to no avail.
"Master, please wake up!"
"Someone! Call the Sea Witch Doctor!"
"What should we do? We cannot let the Venerable Lords wait!"
"How about we let them in first!?"
"They should be able to enter the ocean floor. Should we give a map?"
"Whatever service it is, give it all to their group!"
In the end, the subordinates of Heavenly Guardian Fei felt that leaving the Venerable Lords waiting outside was rude and had to order people to bring them over.

Meanwhile, at the gates of Anairam Trench...
Ye Jieye and his group had just arrived in the Anairam Trench area, having traveled there on Roi\'s back. They were given a water bead by a fisherman guard, which allowed them to breathe and move underwater. The water bead also prevented water from penetrating their skin, allowing human hunters to enter the underwater Anairam Trench.
However, the effects of each water bead were only temporary, requiring them to eat another one before the effects of the first one vanished.
The Fishmen guard escorted them to the gates, where they met the group of six hunters sent by their clan. Lu Ming\'s small group had also just arrived a few minutes after them.
"Lord Ye, Lord Mo, the Ancestors sent us here to serve you." A middle-aged handsome man greeted the two heirs. His group members also followed after him and politely greeted their clan heirs.
Ye Jieye gave them a nod, while Mo Xuejing just smiled at them. It was Lu Shang and Leica who took over the command of this group.
Lu Shang said to them, "Once we enter the trench, the command will be on me. According to the rules the ancestors had promised, you must obey our words. I will be the one training you inside as well. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Young Lord Lu!" The six collectively responded.
Seeing his brother and the rest, Lu Ming joined their group and heard what his elder brother said. As expected, Lu Shang looked to their group next and said, "You four will join in their group and follow the same training regime I will give later."
"We understand, Big Brother," Lu Ming said.

Ye Anxia calls, "Uncle Mingming! How have you become dark?"
After being abandoned in the capital, Lu Ming and his group were taken prisoner by the Heavenly Guardians, who trained them like Spartans for the last few days. Lu Ming\'s skin had turned tanned from daily sun exposure, and the baby girl who inherited her father\'s flawless complexion felt that Lu Ming\'s tanned skin was burned.
"Little fairy, are you lost? What is your name? Can you call me brother instead of uncle?" Lu Ming said.
Ye Anxia pouted. "No! You are uncle! Not big brother! Xiaxia is already has a big brother. It\'s not you!"
"Xiaxia?" Lu Ming calls.
Only then did his group recognize the little girl. They were a bit speechless and couldn\'t believe it at first until Ye Jingxia swam to their side and held his sister\'s hand.
Ye Jingxia said, "Xiaxia, don\'t get separated from your big brother. There are lots of bad guys in the world." Then he noticed his uncle\'s face. "Eh? Uncle Ming, Uncle Yu, Uncle Jin, and Uncle Ji? Are you also here to hunt? This we can go to too.
Daddy and Papa brought us here to play!"
Mo Yuhan was shocked. "Wait? Xiao Jing? Then. Is this baby girl really Xiao Xia?"
"Yes. Daddy and Papa cured her three days ago. She is completely healthy now, so we can join the hunt with Daddy and Papa." Ye Jingxia gave a positive answer to Mo Yuhan\'s question.
