"Are you sure?" Inside the Angel Gene office, Zhao Seventh spoke to Zhao Lian .

"It has already been confirmed . Han Sen's mother, Luo Lan, is the sole granddaughter of Luo Haitang . The Ji family have Luo Haitang's support," Zhao Lian said in return .

Zhao Seventh sternly frowned and asked, "Has the Ji family done anything yet?"

"They haven't done anything particularly big . But according to the intel provided by Old Qi, some of the demigods of the Ji family are on their way to the Godslayer Shelter," Zhao Lian replied .

"They are lucky bastards . I cannot believe they have a connection with Luo Haitang . If this strengthens, they won't have to rely on us as much . " Zhao Seventh's face was grim . "I thought by helping Ji Ruozhen, it would provide us the greatest influence . It looks as if I was incorrect . "

"Uncle Seventh, you cannot blame yourself for this turn of events . No one expected Han Sen was to be Luo Haitang's great-grandson . And now, Luo Haitang's family, who have always remained neutral, are getting cozy with the Ji family . This would have been impossible to foretell," Zhao Lian said .

Zhao Seventh coldly laughed and said, "In this world, there is nothing humans are unable to achieve . If the Ji family wants to use Luo Haitang's power to be rid us and the support we have already been providing, I won't allow it . Although Luo Haitang is powerful, being a demigod and all, strength matters not . He is alone where he is, and he cannot return to the Second Shelter . Push on with the Angel Gene Fourth Stage tests a little quicker; they may prove useful in the near future . "

"The Fourth Stage tests require a lot of shura royal blood . And we also need Dan Copper Stars . We . . . " Zhao Lian wanted to continue, but his words hesitated to come out .

Zhao Seventh frowned and said, "Give it to them . Angel Gene is our crowning accomplishment, and a Dan Copper Star is nothing . Once we have established a presence and can support ourselves in the Fourth Shelter, that is when our family will truly begin to shine . "

"Yes," Zhao Lian agreed . Then, he turned around and exited Zhao Seventh's office .

"I will let these old men know that their time is up . The advancement of humanity, genetics and all, lies in technology . " Zhao Seventh's eyes shone with light .

. . .

Continuing the trek, Han Sen hadn't encountered anything strange again . With the silver fox near, it was common for creatures to keep their distance . As such, their journey was free from strife .

The fairy seemed incredibly gentle, and she affectionately listened to Han Sen whenever he spoke . Her wounds were gradually getting better, each and every day . It would not be long before she fully recovered .

Still not completely trusting her, though, Han Sen never let his guard down with her around . As Han Sen slept, he felt the fairy fly near him, which triggered an alarm siren in his head .

But he wasn't willing to make a move just yet . He pretended to continue sleeping, and instead activated his senses to observe what she was doing .

The fairy flew near him, circling his head . Then, she landed on his palm and slipped into the half-folded fingers of his hand . Like a blanket, she made herself snug below them and went to sleep .

Han Sen's demeanor relaxed somewhat, and he was greatly surprised by her behavior . He opened his eyes and watched her slip into dreams of her own, looking so gentle as she did .

But a few days later, Han Sen believed he was starting to be a little too nave and was letting his guard down . He thought the fairy was still biding her time for revenge, as all she did was laze about and ignore his commands . Aside from acting cute, she wouldn't do a single productive thing .

"These evil, tricksy second-generation creatures will never do anything decent . " Han Sen was infuriated by her behavior . Previously, it had only been the silver fox he had to compete with for goods, but now there was the fairy, too . There were a couple of occasions when Han Sen wanted to treat himself to tastily cooked meat, but ended up being unable to . The combined bellies of the two creatures he had for company needed to be filled first, and that usually left him with the mangy leftovers .

"Fine . I'll fatten you both up first, and then dine on you," Han Sen thought to himself .

The group of travelers traversed the Black Desert for another two weeks . Just as Han Sen had almost forgotten about all the strange occurrences that had happened along the way, he stumbled across an oasis .

"No way . Coconut trees here?!" Han Sen, after seeing the oasis, looked a little strange .

Oases weren't entirely strange, but the abundance of coconut trees was . Each tree was decorated with a number of basketball-sized coconuts that looked absolutely delicious .

This was a harsh desert and yet, why would seaside-grown coconut trees be growing here? Their sheer number was incredible, too . It was like an infinite forest of coconut trees .

Zhou Yumei looked excited . With Little Orange, she immediately took off running into the coconut forest . She gathered many of the coconuts with a hungry face . She had been drinking plain nutrient solutions for the longest time, and by now, she was sick of them .

"Stop! Don't touch those things," Han Sen quickly called out to Zhou Yumei .

"Why not? I'm just hungry for some coconuts . There aren't any creatures around . " Zhou Yumei turned around with a confused look .

"We are in the world of shelters . Use your head and try to think why so many coconuts trees might just happen to exist here . Of course, feel free to go ahead with your mealif you aren't afraid to die," Han Sen coldly warned . If she insisted on eating them, then he wouldn't stop her . His care for Zhou Yumei did not extend that far .

Zhou Yumei, with a disappointed grimace, walked back to Han Sen empty-handed . "Well, is there a way I can determine whether or not I can eat those coconuts?"

"Yeah, by eating them . " As Han Sen said that, he began walking into the coconut forest . The Golden Roarer trailed behind, carrying their packs . They walked for many miles before seeing something else of significance .

What Han Sen eventually found surprised him a great deal . There was a large green lake, the water of which looked like sparkling emerald . It was massive, and skirting its entirety were the coconut trees .

"Can I drink the water?" Zhou Yumei ecstatically asked Han Sen .

"I'm afraid you cannot . " Han Sen walked near the water's edge as he spoke . Seeing the clear water in the lake, he furrowed his brows . He gave the lake a sniff and then, with a bottle, had a tiny sip of the water . With a wry smile, he said, "Yep, you cannot drink this . "

"Why not?" Zhou Yumei asked .

"This is saltwater . " Han Sen passed the bottle over to Zhou Yumei .

She tried the little bit he had collected and spat it out with haste . The water was incredibly salty, just like seawater .

Ignoring her reaction, Han Sen looked towards the center of the lake . There, a small island rested . It was no bigger than a football field, and at its center was a giant coconut tree .

The coconut tree looked different than the rest . Not only was it taller, but its trunk was like white jade .

The coconuts up high were different, as well . They were like black, giant metal balls .

Han Sen took a closer look . The giant, white jade coconut tree was bearing three coconuts, and they were each approximately the size of a yoga ball . Their darkness accentuated their sense of weight, too .

Splash!

As Han Sen observed the white jade coconut tree, the waters of the lake shifted . Something huge arose from the water, and a pair of wheel-like eyes ascended to the sky and looked down on Han Sen and Zhou Yumei .
