In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Hmm... since she is the chieftain who can manage an entire tribe, she must be an exceptionally intelligent woman," Alma thought for a moment.

Running your own small tavern involves a lot of things to consider; imagine how difficult it would be to run an entire tribe.

“Absolutely. The Doris tribe is getting better and better under my mother’s leadership.” Oshin smiled confidently. “I just don’t know how the tribe is now. We’ve been gone for almost four years. It must have changed a lot.”

After another ten days or so, before Alma grew tired of life on the ship, Ruslan, on the watchtower, finally saw the island appear on the horizon.

“Hey, we can already see Doris Island from here!” he called out, looking down.

“Really? You can see it from that direction.” Aga could also vaguely see it.

“Oshin, this human-shaped nautical chart is really useful. You don’t have to worry about getting lost at sea at all.” Alma patted Oshin on the shoulder.

"Although that's the truth, I still feel really uncomfortable being described like that," Oshin said, looking at Alma with disdain.

"Doris Island seems much bigger than Athena Island we passed by before..." Elma ignored Ocean and just observed Doris Island in the distance.

On the soft sandy beach.

A cute little girl with pink hair is playing on the beach.

Suddenly, she noticed something that seemed to have appeared on the surface of the sea.

"Huh?" The little girl stood up and looked at the thing with a puzzled expression.

"Mommy, Mommy," the little girl called out in her childish voice into the woods.

"What's wrong, Doreen?" A very capable woman with dark blue hair walked out of the woods, carrying ropes and a bow and arrows.

"Um, um." The little girl called Doreen pointed to the sea.

A black dot is getting bigger and bigger and is moving in this direction.

"—! Doreen, come here quickly!" The woman pulled Doreen over and protected her to her side.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down his face.

I need to hurry back and report to my sister, but—!

The dark figure was right in front of us!

Cora frowned and shielded Doreen behind her.

No matter what comes this time, I must protect Duolin!

"Auntie!" Then, a familiar voice that hadn't been heard in a long time entered Cora's ears.

“That voice is…” Cora looked back at the light in disbelief, “Oshin?!”

A familiar, robust figure jumped off the ship.

Cora walked over and looked up at Ocean: "You, you're back?!"

“I’m back, Auntie!” Ou Shen said softly.

"Mom, who is he?" Doreen grabbed Cora's leg and timidly looked up at Ocean.

“He is your brother, Doreen.” Cora picked Doreen up and gently wiped away the tears in her eyes. “This is your brother Oceanos. Call him brother.”

"Brother," Doreen called out obediently, then timidly shrank back into Cora's arms.

“Doreen has grown so much already. I remember she was just born when I left.” Oshin gently touched Doreen’s head and said with some sadness.

“You left in such a hurry that I didn’t even get a proper goodbye. Your mother lay on the beach crying all day until she lost all her strength and I had to bring her back…” Cora said, her voice filled with resentment and longing, as she spoke.

"Where is she now? Is she alright?" Ou Shen asked anxiously.

“Go back to your tribe’s territory. She’s been waiting for you.” Kora smiled through her tears.

Chapter 603 Doris's Awareness

“Aunt Cora, we’re back too!” Luslan and Jimia jumped off the ship as well.

"You're all back! That's so good, so good..."

Agah and Alma also jumped off the ship.

“This is Ou Shen’s hometown…” Aga looked up and around.

"This beach feels so comfortable underfoot, it's completely different from the beaches in Atlantis," Alma said, looking very happy as she felt the soft sand.

"Ah, hello, Ms. Cora, I'm Alma, a friend of Ocean's." Alma, after all, was someone who could run a tavern, and she seemed very polite.

"I'm Aga, a friend of Ou Shen and his friends, and this is my sister," Aga introduced herself respectfully.

“They’re all good children. Let’s go to the tribe’s territory.” Kora led the way.

Aga waved his hand at the Elma, and the Elma transformed into a green light and returned to his wrist.

"Wow, the big monster has disappeared!" Doreen, who was being held in Cora's arms, exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.

Cora was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and wasn't too surprised: "No wonder he's the kid who can play with Ocean. It seems he also knows a lot of magical artifacts."

"Ah, haha..." Under Kora's maternal gaze, Aga felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

“Auntie, you seem so much gentler than before. You used to be so feisty, always spearing fish in the sea with a harpoon.” Oshin smiled as he walked beside Cora.

"Maybe it's because I've become a mother, so I naturally need to calm down."

After crossing a grove of trees, the former territory of the tribe came into view.

“This…” Ou Shen was dumbfounded.

The clan's territory is much larger than before, and it is no longer in its original state intertwined with the forest, but a spacious and clean open space.

The sheds have all been demolished and replaced with wooden houses that look very similar to those in Atlantis.

Along the way, many people who knew Ou Shen, Luslan, and Jimia greeted him, and Ou Shen responded to each one with a smile.

"This change is too drastic..." Ruslan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"The clan leader is really amazing." Jimiya was also extremely surprised.

"My sister should be in the chieftain's seat right now, still in her original position. However, Captain Liliana should be at the outpost outside and won't be back until tonight."

“Oh, oh…” Luslan nodded quickly.

"What a beautiful town! Although it's much smaller than Ozark, I feel like I'd be more comfortable living here," Alma remarked, admiring the scenery along the way.

“I don’t know why your intuition tells you this, but that’s how I feel too.” Aga nodded in deep agreement.

In the large house in the center of the clan's territory, Doris sat solemnly in the middle of the room.

He looked up at the ceiling and sighed softly.

Maintaining that serious expression at all times is quite a chore.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Doris composed herself and called out towards the door.

The door was opened.

"Mom! I'm home!" A loud voice reached Doris's ears.

Doris's pupils contracted.

Oshin rushed in from outside and knelt down in front of Doris.

"Mom, I'm back." Ou Shen looked at his mother excitedly.

“Oshin…” Doris murmured, “Is that you, Oshin? You’re back?”

Hearing Doris's trembling voice, Ocean nodded quickly, took Doris's hand and placed it on his head, two tears welling in his eyes: "Mom, it's me, I'm back!"

"Am I dreaming...?" Tears streamed down Doris's face.

She reached out her hands and touched Ou Shen's face.

“Those eyes, that nose, those ears… it’s Oshin, it really is Oshin… it really is Oshin…” Doris felt her vision blurring. “It really is Oshin…”

She suddenly pulled Ou Shen into her arms.

"Oshin, my Oshin..."

"Mom..." Ou Shen couldn't control his emotions anymore, "You're still so beautiful, and you're still so strong..."

"We probably can't go in now." Looking at Oshin and his mother, who were huddled together and crying inside the house, Luslan chuckled awkwardly.

"...If you really have no sense of propriety, you can go in." Miya looked at Luslan with disdain.

"That's the chief of this tribe! She looks so mature and beautiful." Alma leaned against the doorframe, looking inside, and was amazed. Her eyes sparkled. "And she's so feminine, with such a wonderful aura."

"Right, right? My sister is the most beautiful woman in the world." Cora said, "If you're going to say that, I'm not sleepy anymore."

"You'll never have that kind of气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance/aura) in your entire life, just admire it from afar." Aga laughed nonchalantly.

Blood vessels bulged on Alma's head.

"die--!"

"Pfft!"

"Oshen, is there any strange noise outside?" Doris wiped away her tears, sensing that she had heard something.

“Uh…” From the commotion, Ou Shen roughly knew what had happened.

Doris smiled and ruffled Ocean's short blue hair: "Are you leaving again this time?"

Ou Shen hesitated for two seconds, placed his hands on his knees, and nodded slightly.

“I still have to leave. It's not safe for me right now. I... I can't bring trouble to the tribe.” Oshin's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head. “I'm sorry, Mom…”

Doris was silent for a moment, then sighed.

“Child, this is not your fault. But stay home for a couple more days and tell your mother how you’ve been doing these past few years.”

“Hmm!” Oshin raised his head. “Mom, do you know how many things I’ve encountered over the years? And now I’m being called a hero!”

"Oh right." Ou Shen got up and ran out, pulling the others back in. "Mom, let me introduce you. This is Agapimairo. We can move so quickly on the sea because of him. He's my good brother!"
