Chapter 274: Under the Sea

After interacting a bit with the family. Lenore approached them a little, especially Maira. The age difference was not much, but, of course, Maira still treated her like a granddaughter, accepting her easily.

Catharina felt comfortable teasing her brother in front of her niece. She accepted Lenore. If so, maybe Ingrid felt more awkward about this situation, but her problem was that she wanted to have a child too.

"Ingrid, I promise you that as soon as we reach the Sixth Order, I will be delighted to have a child with you." Luan kissed her face, then her lips.

Separating her pink lips from his, she rested her head against his chest while coquettishly saying, "It's a promise!"

"Yes, a promise." Luan smiled a little, then he kissed her again.

"Wow! Could you guys stop being so cheesy in front of us?" Catharina snorted playfully, then she added slyly, "Luan, do you have to do this in front of us? Leave my sister-in-law alone."

"..."

"You know, I don't tease you for no reason," Luan looked at her, "Not even when you started wearing a bra to hold back those bee stings you called boobs." And then he started to laugh.

"See this, mom?" Catharina snorted, "He's being mean to me again."

"Again?" Luan, incredulously asked, "Didn't you hear what I just said? I've never been mean to you..."

"Oh? Seriously?" Catharina crossed her arms over her breasts and said contemptuously, "And what about when you put pepper around my glass? Or when you put a fake spider on my bed? Or when you put clear plastic on my toilet? Or when you told the boy I liked that I wet the bed until I was 5? Huh? Do you want me to continue?"

"…I don't remember. I think living two lives has affected my memories…" Luan pretended not to remember.

"You two stop it," Maira laughed, then looked at Catharina, "Any pain your brother gives you is well deserved, young lady; you did the same to him, maybe even worse. Like the time you filled the whirlpool with condensed milk, or put stickers on his car, even when you told everyone at school that he was afraid of dolls until he was 13..."

By this time, Cristina, Ingrid, Luan, and even Lenore were all laughing, which made my sister just shake her head and smile and say, "Mom, you are embarrassing me…" She pouted.

"Now, now, Catharina," Luan teased, "you don't have to be unpleasant… but I understand, because you're starting to get old, old lady."

"Oh yeah?" she smugly spat back playfully, "Well, you can kiss my old ass, brother."

"Oh my God, and you eat with that disgusting mouth of yours?" Luan continued teasing, "I'm surprised you haven't contracted a disease yet."

"Oh shut up," Catharina giggled, "You annoying poop."

Maira and the girls just laughed at the happy jokes and teasing that almost always happened between Luan and Catharina, but it was only because they always got along so well.

"Are you surprised, dear?" Maira smiled at Lenore. "Your father can be quite childish. As much as he has lived so many years in his past life, there is a 15-year-old child inside him who is always jumping around wanting to play," she laughed.

"He's not how I imagined at all." Lenore laughed too. She tried to hide it, but her giggle was a little cold, soft as the winter breeze, cool but somehow pleasant.

Cristina laughed. "It's been fun, but I'm going to train. I still need to stabilize my cultivation." And then she was gone, leaving a trail of childish laughter in her wake.

"Okay, honey. We also need to do that." Maira was talking about her and Catharina. They'd just increased their cultivation. Although their energies were stable, it was not good to put it off for so long.

Luan looked at Lenore. "Train a little here. If you're lucky, you might attract a fairy's attention."

"It's amazing that there are fairies on this island." Lenore had already felt the presence of fairies. Even though they were good at hiding their presence, she had a very good sixth sense. "Dad, are you going to cultivate now?"

"No, I have other things to do." Luan smiled a little. "Stay as long as you like. I'll be here for a few days or months. Currently, treasures have started to appear on this planet. If I don't go after them, others will find them."

"I understand." Lenore asked in her cold voice, "Is it okay if I go with you later?"

"Yes, of course." Luan smiled. Turning to Ingrid, he asked as he held out his hand to her, "Shall we go?"

"Yes." Ingrid took his hand.

Clouds appeared, and soon they began to float in the sky. Instead of going to dry land, Luan headed towards the sea. He felt the slightly faint presence of treasure at sea. It may have been a small thing, but even if it was, it was better to find out for himself.

'I'll need a lot of resources if I want to improve the Leviathan...' He thought as he flew. In less than 10 minutes, he stopped flying.

"Is it here?" Ingrid asked as she looked down at the sea below them.

"It's a little deep." Luan looked at her. "Do you want to come along?"

"Mm..." Ingrid was thoughtful with her finger on her pink lips, then she said, "Yes, I do."

"Okay, make sure you can hold your breath. Don't be afraid." Luan smiled at her. "With your current power, it will be easy."

Luan and Ingrid dove. Ingrid blew bubbles from her mouth as she tried to smile, and she ended up laughing a little under the water. Not opening her mouth after that, she followed Luan.

The instant they reached the bottom, what they found was a sunken ship. Algae, as well as some fish, were around or even inside the ship. Ingrid found this a little frightening, but she still held her ground as she swam towards the ship.

After a while, they went deeper.  Luan motioned for her to follow him. The entrance door was stuck. Forcing it, he broke the door. It wasn't as if the room was isolated; water came in through other channels. The moment it opened, he headed in the direction that he was feeling the presence of treasures.

'Lost treasure perhaps?' Ingrid wondered dubiously.

The instant they arrived in front of another door, Luan forced his way through.

'That...' Ingrid was stunned. Inside the place, it was full of treasures, just as she imagined, but what surprised her was the skeleton of a woman hugging an open chest that was full of jewels. Even around her neck there were many jewels. There had probably been some on her wrists and ears, as some jewels next to the woman's skeleton were sunken to the floor.

Luan put all the treasures in the storage ring. There were a few things that would be helpful for a Third Order miner. Jewelry and diamonds, even some old firearms, he took, as he could sell it all later.

After surfacing above the ocean, Luan sent the cloud towards land. In a sense, Luan was omnipotent on earth. Obviously, it was because the earth hadn't finished 'waking up'. The energy still didn't stop his senses from sweeping across the planet and feeling and hearing pretty much everything others were doing or saying.

In certain situations, he could only regret what he observed. Many tragic things happened in every corner of the earth. Even though on the surface everything seemed to be fine, in reality, every second someone died, whether he/she was human or non-human.

"Sigh, some humans don't deserve to live…" Ingrid wasn't as powerful as Luan when using her sixth sense, but she could still feel everything that happened around Brazil. One of the things that caught her attention was men wanting to commit rape, children being exploited or abused by adults, among other revolting situations.

"Be a hypocrite." Luan understood her feelings. "You're thinking it's no use trying to save everyone, when you wouldn't spend your whole life watching and protecting the weaker, yes?"

"Yes," Ingrid admitted.

"Like I said, be a hypocrite. Don't care, just do what you want to do. You don't have to close your eyes to what you can see and hear. If you want to save someone, go and do it." Luan touched her nose and laughed, "Just don't put your life at risk, okay?"

"I will, but stop talking about being a hypocrite." She laughed. "That word makes me feel really weird. I don't like how that sounds."

"Okay." He laughed too.

.

.

Just as Ingrid wanted, she helped many people who she saw needed help. Not to the extreme, but at least those who were in real danger. Afterwards, she went with Luan in search of new treasures.

Traveling all over Brazil, it was inevitable that they would find some things. The most lucrative place was the Amazon. It was a land that was not explored much. When they entered there, Luan and Ingrid found many surprising things.

Things such as....
