Unspeakable bubbles

"This is clearly not a simple nightmare! I suspect it's some kind of large-scale mysterious event, an ominous sign!"

"Okay, I understand."

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to find Bubble. Excuse me."

"..."

Rhodes stared in astonishment at the old man's departing figure, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

Doesn't the old man realize how serious the situation is?

Obviously not!

Yet, he seemed so indifferent?

"You've gone mad, old ghost! Is there nothing else in your eyes besides that Heaven-level cultivation technique?"

Rhodes's feelings were complicated. He was certain that if Bubble and Old Ghost told him now that only his death could perfect the Heavenly-level cultivation technique...

That old man would surely kill himself with a single blow!

This old ghost gave him a strong sense of danger—the old guy had begun to disregard everything!

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, then gave up on the idea of ​​going to find Bubble.

If we disturb the young lady now, who knows what that old man might do.

'Then let's wait until tonight. The old man can't be spending all day chasing bubbles, can he?'

however……

As it turns out, Rhodes's idea was somewhat naive.

After finally making it to night, Rhodes timed it perfectly and walked quickly alone toward the tree where Bubble lived.

To their surprise, the girl wasn't there when they arrived at the destination.

Fortunately, Hell Island wasn't very big, and he soon saw the little girl sitting on the shore, whispering to the black ocean.

Although he felt that what he was seeing was a bit strange, Rhodes suppressed his unease because of that 'ominous sign' and decided to have a good talk with Bubble.

However, someone didn't want anyone to disturb the little girl at this time.

Rhodes paused, looking at the old ghost who had suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Rhodes looked at the old man helplessly.

"I can't sleep, and I don't want to sleep." Old Ghost showed no intention of moving aside.

"Old Ghost, what do you mean?"

Rhodes frowned and said, "Everyone has given you the daytime hours. Now I have something important to discuss with Bubble."

"Wait another ten days."

Old Ghost said in a deep voice, "I don't want Bubble to be distracted by anything else during these ten days."

"hehe."

Rhodes glanced at him sideways: "If I yell now, can you stop me?"

"If you say another word, I'll kill you."

Old Ghost calmly said, "Don't force me, Rhodes. We've known each other for so many years, I really don't want to lay a hand on you."

"Don't doubt my abilities. I'm absolutely confident that I can silence you with one blow."

Rhodes' face turned blood red instantly, and he stared intently at the old ghost.

"Don't do anything foolish."

"Once again," Old Ghost reminded him.

"It will only take ten days, ten days is enough."

"We...we're almost there!"

Old Ghost looked at Rhodes, his eyes pleading.

"Boss Rhodes, you and the brothers, please grant me this favor this time!"

"Please, I beg you, otherwise, I don't know what I might do now..."

Rhodes turned and left without giving the old man any indication.

"..."

The friendship of many years was broken in an instant, and the old man looked gloomy.

But he doesn't regret it at all!

"Whoo~"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and strode toward the bubbles on the shore.

The little girl's unusual behavior worried him. If Paopao stayed up late tonight, would it... affect tomorrow's progress?

"Bubble".

Old Ghost walked to the little girl's side and called out softly.

Grandpa! Aren't you going to sleep yet?

"I went to bed late, but what about you? Why did you suddenly come to the shore?"

Old Ghost asked, "Is something bothering you?"

"No, no," the little girl quickly shook her head.

"Bubble is chatting with Mr. Octopus."

"Uh"

Old Ghost was taken aback. He looked around but didn't see anyone else.

Besides, Mr. Octopus...

What is that thing?

Is it someone's nickname, or... or is Bubble really chatting with an invisible octopus?!

"Bubble, can you call out that, that Mr. Octopus? I want to meet him too."

"Hmm, let Bubble ask."

"Mr. Octopus, Mr. Octopus, the old man says he wants to see you," the little girl said to the black ocean.

"..."

Old Ghost pricked up his ears, but naturally, he heard nothing.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

The little girl, afraid of disappointing the old man, added, "But Mr. Octopus said that the old man will go down to find Him himself in the future."

"So, Grandpa, don't be disappointed."

"You'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"

"Oh"

Old Ghost nodded ambiguously, somewhat suspecting that the so-called 'Mr. Octopus' was a character created by Bubble.

To be honest, Hell Island is full of jerks, and Bubble doesn't even have a single playmate his own age.

Bubble must be feeling lonely after being on Hell Island for so long.

Old Ghost wanted to say, "If Bubble has anything bothering you, you can talk to me anytime."

But the words just wouldn't come out.

What if, after saying this, the girl really keeps trying to chat with me?

Chatting...that takes time!

The more they talk, the less time Bubble Flower will have to perfect her Heavenly-level cultivation technique.

Clearly, the two of them are making rapid progress.

However, for some reason, the faster the progress was, the more Lao Gui wanted it to be even faster!

I want to finish it sooner.

I don't want to waste a single moment.

I don't want to waste a single second.

If it weren't for the fear of upsetting the young girl, Old Ghost actually didn't want to stop at night at all.

If the two of them put in a little more effort and work through the night...

Yes, it should be possible to compress the time to five days.

Rhodes and Bamboo Pole became anxious after seeing a glimmer of hope, but perhaps no one could have predicted what would happen next.

The most anxious person on the entire Hell Island was Old Ghost!

If you were to ask him why he was in such a hurry, even Old Ghost himself probably wouldn't be able to answer.

His martial arts have made great progress. On this hellish island, apart from Bubble, Old Ghost no longer needs to care about anyone.

Rhodes, can't you wait any longer?

So what!

You can't even get one step closer to the bubble without my permission.

If even Rhodes is like this, then the old ghosts won't care about the others even more.

It can be said that the old man, who doesn't need to consider Rhodes's feelings, has plenty of time and doesn't need to rush at all.

However, at this moment, the old man's heart was filled with anxiety.

He was restless, he was expectant, he was fearful, he...

He really couldn't wait any longer!

"Bubble, go to sleep early."
