Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 227 One of the Secrets Revealed

"You don't need to worry, Alpha will be fine in such shallow water," Nymph said with a cool and aloof expression.

"At least let me float around like a normal person! What if someone sees me?" Tomoki roared.

Whether Icarus is good or bad has nothing to do with him. However, if she does something that is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, it will definitely disrupt his peaceful life.

"My wings became very heavy after absorbing water, and I couldn't float no matter what I did," Icarus said.

Zhishu then remembered that Jingchen had told him before that Icarus's wings would become very heavy after getting wet.

"You idiot, just like me, don't let your wings get wet, and you'll be fine!" Nymph said.

"It's already been touched," Icarus said.

Tomoki lay on the beach, staring at the sky with a look of utter despair. "No, if I leave them like this, something terrible might happen. Let me teach them how to swim."

Jing Chen also returned, leaning against the stone wall, watching Zhi Shu teach Icarus how to use his skills in the sea, with his arms crossed over his chest.

At this moment, Chu Yuan also borrowed a boat, dragging an inflatable boat over, and said to Zhi Shu with a smile, "Zhi Shu, I borrowed a boat, Zhi Shu."

Chu Yuan opened his eyes and saw Zhi Shu teaching Ikaros to swim. Seeing Zhi Shu's focused expression, Chu Yuan seemed a little sad. He muttered something and dragged the inflatable boat away.

At this moment, Nymph also noticed Jing Chen leaning against the stone wall. Although she felt in her heart that Jing Chen was not a simple person, Nymph still walked over.

Jing Chen watched Nymph walk over without saying a word, his gaze fixed on Icarus.

Nymph, leaning against the stone wall, asked Jing Chen, "What did you mean by 'the current Icarus'?"

Jing Chen raised his chin, gesturing for Nymph to look at Icarus now, and said, "Don't you feel something's off about Icarus right now?"

Nymph watched Icarus learning to swim, pondered for a while, and Jing Chen remained silent, letting Nymph think for herself.

Isn't Nymph arrogant? Then he responded with indifference. The best way to deal with arrogance is with indifference. I don't know how Jing Chen came to this conclusion.

"Something is definitely not right, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is," Nymph said.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "You'll find out sooner or later. For now, I'll just consider this a homework assignment for you."

After Jing Chen finished speaking, he left. Nymph glared at Jing Chen angrily, "What's wrong with this guy...?"

Chu Yuan was paddling an inflatable boat alone on the sea, cursing Zhi Shu: "That idiot Zhi Shu, he even borrowed the boat, I'm not going to bother with him anymore."

Chu Yuan rowed the fancy boat, but after a while, he suddenly became depressed and stopped rowing. He hugged his legs and muttered to himself, "I can't swim either..."

At this point, Chu Yuan recalled her childhood, when she had also come to the beach with Zhi Shu. Back then, Chu Yuan was building sandcastles on the beach, while Zhi Shu, wearing diving goggles and holding what appeared to be a harpoon for fishing, looked at Chu Yuan and asked, "What? Chu Yuan, can't you swim?"

Chu Yuan nodded and hummed in agreement. Zhi Shu looked at Chu Yuan helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything with you. I'll hold your hand. Come on, give it a try." Then Zhi Shu held Chu Yuan's hand and taught him to swim in the sea.

At that time, Tomoki really gave her a sense of security. Chu Yuan felt that with Tomoki around, she didn't need to worry about anything.

"Really, has he already forgotten?" Chu Yuan muttered on the inflatable boat.

Suddenly, Chu Yuan came to her senses and looked at the beach that was gradually receding from her. Only then did she realize that she had been brought here by the sea.

"Huh? No way, when did it drift this far?" Chu Yuan looked around and saw that the oar had fallen into the sea.

"Oh no, the oars..."

Chu Yuan looked back at the beach. "We've been washed ashore. If we don't get back quickly..."

Chu Yuan leaned out, trying to grab the oar floating in the sea. The oar was quite far away from Chu Yuan, and even with most of his body outstretched, he couldn't reach it.

On the beach, Tomoki uses the excuse of taking his picture to get Ikaros to take photos of him. However, every time Ikaros presses the shutter, one or two women walk past Tomoki.

"Okay, one more!" Tomoki walked towards Icarus, wanting to take her to the next location to continue taking pictures.

"Tomoki, don't bully Icarus because she's a bit simple-minded. Icarus is innocent by nature, don't lead her astray," Jingchen said as he walked over.

"No, I just asked Icarus to take a picture for me," Tomoki said, waving his hand.

Jing Chen took the camera from Icarus's hand, saw the photos inside, smiled helplessly, and returned the camera to Zhishu.

A moment later, Mikako, who was lying on the beach chair, lifted her sunglasses, looked at the sky, and said, "It looks like the sky is getting cloudy."

Shougei was still engrossed in his computer, seemingly doing something, while Nymph watched him. The two of them appeared quite absorbed.

"Huh? Where's Chu Yuan?" Chu Yuan, Jing Chen, and Icarus walked over. Zhi Shu didn't see Chu Yuan and asked.

Mikako recalled for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I just saw her rowing a luxury boat all by herself."

"Huh?" Tomoki was startled, then suddenly remembered that Chu Yuan had mentioned going boating. Turns out, he was teaching Ikaros to swim, all for the sake of his peaceful life…

Without further thought, Zhishu ran straight towards the sea, and the others followed suit, searching for Chuyuan at sea with him.

Suddenly, Tomoki saw someone leaning out of the inflatable boat, seemingly holding something. Upon closer inspection, Tomoki was certain that it was Chu Yuan.

"Chu Yuan!" Zhi Shu shouted, and Chu Yuan, who was on the surface of the sea, suddenly fell into the sea.

Tomoki was shocked, as were the others. Tomoki shouted Chu Yuan's name and rushed into the sea. However, the waves kept crashing in, slowing Tomoki's progress considerably.

Jing Chen clicked his tongue in annoyance, and his angel wings suddenly unfolded, sending him soaring into the sky and heading towards Zhi Shu's direction.

Shouxing, Mikako, and Nymph were all greatly surprised when they saw the wings on Jing Chen's back. How could an ordinary person have wings?

Jing Chen couldn't care less about anything else now. He pulled Zhi Shu out of the water and flew towards Chu Yuan's direction with Zhi Shu.

Zhi Shu turned around and saw Jing Chen. He said in surprise, "Jing Chen, you..."

"Don't say anything yet, let's rescue Chu Yuan first!" Jing Chen cut off all the words Zhi Shu was about to say.

Chu Yuan could no longer hold on and gradually sank into the sea. Just then, a hand suddenly pulled Chu Yuan up.

Chu Yuan coughed on the inflatable boat, bringing up all the seawater he had just swallowed. Jing Chen, Zhi Shu, and Jing Chen were also sitting in the inflatable boat.

"Are you alright?" Tomoki asked.

"Xiao Zhi..." Chu Yuan looked at Zhi Shu, feeling slightly moved.

Jing Chen coughed twice and said, "If we're going to show off our love, let's go back to the beach first, okay?"

It was only then that Chu Yuan noticed Jing Chen was also there. However, she also noticed that Jing Chen had a pair of black and white wings on his back.

Chu Yuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Jing Chen waved his hand, directly interrupting him, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the beach."
