Ye Feng said, "Mom, I know your worries! But I'm not aiming to be a fisherman who relies on luck for a living. I want to be a fisherman who does seafood farming! I'm just catching fish now to earn enough startup capital. Once I have enough, I plan to start seafood farming!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, his mother's expression immediately improved.
She had previously thought Ye Feng truly intended to be a fisherman who went out to sea to catch fish every day! If that were the case, she absolutely would not have agreed.
"Alright! You've grown up anyway, and Mom knows she can't control you! But no matter what, you must ensure your safety, because Mom only has you!" his mother earnestly advised.
Seeing his mother finally agree, Ye Feng's face immediately broke into a smile, and he said, "Okay! You can rest assured!"
That evening, the two ate with exceptional relish and chatted about many other things.
The topic his mother brought up most frequently was Ye Feng's age; he was getting on and should be married and have children, she constantly urged him.
She even listed the daughters of all their distant relatives, one by one, suggesting he get to know them when he had time.
Hearing this, Ye Feng quickly offered a perfunctory reply, saying he already had a girlfriend, but they had only been dating for a short while. He promised to bring her to meet her as soon as their relationship stabilized.
"Alright! What's the girl's name?" his mother asked.
Ye Feng immediately replied, "Her name is, her name is Xiao Feifei!"
Ye Feng didn't know why, but this name popped into his head. It was just a perfunctory remark, so saying anything casually should be fine.
Upon hearing this, his mother let him off the hook. Otherwise, in a few days, she would probably drag him to blind dates at his aunts' and uncles' houses.
After dinner, Ye Feng returned to his room, sat cross-legged on his bed, and began cultivating the Sea God's Divine Art.
On the bed, a golden trident pattern of the Sea God appeared on his brow, emitting a faint golden light.
"It should be about time!"
Ye Feng felt his physique, which had improved by an unknown amount, and murmured to himself.
After this period of cultivation and understanding, Ye Feng discovered that the Sea God's Divine Art was more like a physique-cultivating technique, primarily absorbing the Sea God's power to temper his body.
The goal was to strengthen his physique so that he could withstand the Sea God's immense divine power.
Ye Feng possessed some talent, and coupled with his diligence, after this period of cultivation, he had reached a point where he could withstand the second layer of the Sea God's power.
"Come on!"
Ye Feng suddenly roared, his eyes snapping open. The golden trident pattern on his brow emitted a dazzling light.
At this moment, he felt a surge of immense and majestic divine power erupting from the Sea God's trident and instantly pouring into his body.
In that instant, Ye Feng felt a tearing sensation. His entire body began to swell, his skin even turning red, and his dantian felt as if it were about to burst.
Ye Feng hadn't expected the second layer of the Sea God's power to be so terrifying. However, thanks to his diligent cultivation during this period, his physique was strong enough, and his will was firm, allowing him to barely endure the piercing pain.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Around eight in the morning, as Ye Feng's mother was about to leave the house, a beautiful young woman arrived at their doorstep.
Seeing Ye Feng's mother, the young woman quickly asked, "Auntie, hello! Is Ye Feng's home this way?"
"This is my home! May I ask who you are?" Ye Feng's mother asked, puzzled.
Xiao Feifei quickly replied, "My name is Xiao Feifei, I am his..."
However, as soon as his mother heard the name, she suddenly recalled something and immediately said, "You're his girlfriend, aren't you! Ye Feng just mentioned you to me yesterday!"
"Ah? What? I, I..." Xiao Feifei was about to explain when she heard this.
But Ye Feng's mother was too enthusiastic. Before she could say anything, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her inside, saying, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to come looking for my Ye Feng! Come, come, sit inside!"
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was still sitting cross-legged on his bed. He slowly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Great! I've finally successfully cultivated the second layer of the Sea God's Divine Art and inherited the second layer of the Sea God's power!"
At this moment, Ye Feng felt wonderful, his body filled with power. Although there were no outward changes, he felt that his bones, muscles, and flesh were different, and the Sea God's power in his dantian had become even more potent.
If the Sea God's power inherited from cultivating the first layer of the Sea God's Divine Art was like the flow of a small mountain stream, then now it was like a rural creek.
"En? Right! Doesn't each layer cultivated grant an ability? What ability did I gain from this second layer?" Ye Feng suddenly remembered this and was about to check.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked upon.
"Ye Feng, what time is it? Hurry up and get out of bed!"
It turned out to be his mother knocking on the door.
Hearing the sound, Ye Feng shouted, "Mom, why are you calling me up so early in the morning?"
"Early? It's almost nine o'clock, the sun is already high! Get up quickly!" his mother urged.
Ye Feng heard this and didn't care at all, lazily saying, "Nine o'clock is fine! I'll sleep a little longer!"
"What? You're still sleeping? Your girlfriend is here to see you, and you still have the nerve to sleep?" his mother shouted, banging on the door.
Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned and said, "Girlfriend? Where did I get a girlfriend! En? Wait!"
The next second, Ye Feng seemed to remember something. "Right, I still have to go out fishing today! Could it be..."
At this moment, Ye Feng couldn't bother with anything else. He quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes and pants, opened the door, and walked out.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Ye Feng saw a woman standing with his mother, looking at him.
Seeing this woman, Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he said somewhat sheepishly, "Xiao, Xiao Feifei? Why, why are you here?"
Xiao Feifei rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly, "We called you but you didn't answer, and then we waited for you at the dock for a while but didn't see you, so we came to find you!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt extremely awkward.
At this moment, his mother glared at him and said, "You're a grown man, and you have a girl waiting for you. Aren't you ashamed!"
"Uh, I had something yesterday and overslept! Hehe!" Ye Feng said, scratching his head.
Xiao Feifei smiled slightly and said, "It's okay! You go wash up first, and then hurry up and go!"
"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I'll wash up quickly!" After saying this, Ye Feng rushed to the bathroom to wash up.
At this moment, his mother said to Xiao Feifei, "Girl, come and sit here! I'll pour you a glass of water!"
"No, no need, Auntie! Please sit, I can do it myself!"
Xiao Feifei was shy and at the same time felt a strange sense of joy.
"It's fine, you're a guest, how can I let you pour water!" Ye Feng's mother said, pouring Xiao Feifei a glass.
Xiao Feifei couldn't refuse Ye Feng's mother and took the glass and took a sip.
Ye Feng's mother, on the other hand, watched her from the side, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. It was clearly the look of a mother-in-law sizing up her daughter-in-law...
