CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: SAI YIN’S PEARL ELEMENT

In the oppressive, pitch-black depths of the ocean, an ugly, enormous corpse-like octopus was enveloped in blinding light, its decaying body emitting clouds of white smoke.

It flailed its tentacles, letting out agonized screeches, dragging the female, trying to slam her to death.

The shoulder struck the ground forcefully, producing a tooth-aching cracking sound.

Wen Shu furrowed her brow in pain, her sharp claws deeply embedded in its tentacles, her palms glowing even brighter. She couldn’t breathe, her vision spinning.

Until she was about to faint, the tentacle around her waist finally relaxed.

She quickly withdrew her claws, wanting to swim to the surface, but her limbs had no strength, and her mouth and nose inhaled large volumes of seawater.

Before her vision went completely dark, she saw the giant octopus reveal a pair of bewildered black eyes.

Her heavy body gradually sank toward the deep sea.

Before she collided with the coral cluster, a fish tail with a tip full of scimitar-like spikes, its scales faintly glowing with a cold purple light, gently hooked her waist.

A cold, long white hand brushed across her icy face, "Xiao Wen, the female."

Sai Yin’s purple eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

His gaze swept over the giant octopus hiding among the coral cluster, trying to shield its body, the shock in his heart yet to dissipate.

He had witnessed everything; Xiao Wen, the female, could purify the Giant Corpse Beast. She was definitely the envoy sent by the Beast God foretold in prophecy...

His broad hand cupped the female’s cold face, his gaze fell upon her purple lips, slowly leaning down, "You can’t be harmed."

The eerie moonlight pierced the surface of the sea, silver hair floating with the water, obscuring the scene of a mermaid’s awkward kiss beside the colorful coral reef...

Sai Yin held the female tightly, gently pressing his lips against hers, marveling at the incredible softness, feeling an inexplicable tremor in his heart.

As if a Land Beast trapped in the ocean, he held his breath, looking at the female’s curling long eyelashes, a hint of unfamiliar greed arising.

But he didn’t forget the task at hand, restrained his drying throat.

His palm pinched the female’s delicate, tender face, pried open her teeth, and swam toward the surface.

When faint light appeared overhead, the lips and tongue scraped across a warm path, Sai Yin’s form hesitated.

The inner walls swept across softness, his breath was eagerly plundered.

His protruding Adam’s apple bobbed twice, incredulously lowering his gaze.

Seeing the female contorted in pain, his heart leaped heavily, his hand holding the cold ship’s body, firmly grasping her nape...

In a stupor, a great force pressed on Wen Shu’s chest, making her feel nauseous. She abruptly sat up, turning her face to spit out a mouthful of salty seawater.

"Xiao Wen, the female, you’re finally awake."

A familiar, melodious voice sounded above her head.

She opened her sore eyes, clearly seeing the handsome face under the Glazed Lamp, with deep-set features, and silver scales on the chin.

Sai Yin?

Wen Shu propped herself up, Sai Yin was suddenly pulled away, the soaking wet Wu Xuan hugged her tightly, "Ashu, you scared me to death!"

The male’s scorching embrace tightly encircled her, the long-lost warmth made Wen Shu feel immensely comforted, "I’m fine..."

She nestled into Wu Xuan’s arms, but her lips felt a twinge of pain. Raising her hand to touch them, they seemed swollen?

Seeing her action, squeezed to one side, Sai Yin, with a serious and steady face, recalled the entanglement before going ashore, his ears slightly burning.

He pursed his lips, squatted down slowly, unperturbed by the presence of the female’s Beast Husband, leaning closer a bit.

With a magnetic and elegant voice, he asked worriedly, "Xiao Wen, the female, are you alright?"

Wen Shu lifted her eyes from Wu Xuan’s embrace, not yet meeting Sai Yin’s gaze, the male’s broad arm blocked her view thoroughly.

"Let’s go back."

Wu Xuan frowned displeasedly, lifting her up horizontally.

His shoulder intentionally bumped Sai Yin, his gaze filled with hostility coldly glanced at him, his tone steady, "Thank you for saving... Xiao Wen, but now with me here, you need not trouble yourself!"

He had arrived at the seabed just in time to see this male towards the female... trying to misbehave!

Even if it was for air transfer, how did Ashu’s lips swell like this?

Sai Yin lightly pursed his lips, meeting his gaze, the corner of his eye curved, his purple eyes flashing with a hint of coldness, "Just a small favor."

He took the velvet robe from Jin Yu’s hand and leisurely wrapped himself in it, "In the sea domain, it’s normal for a Land Beast to inadequately protect a female, perhaps Xiao Wen, the female, should consider taking a Sea Beast?"

Saying this, he slowly walked toward the cabin.

Passing by Wu Xuan, he lowered his gaze to the small-faced female in his arms, the corners of his lips curling into an enchanting smile, "See you tomorrow, Xiao Wen... or perhaps, should I call you Ashu?"

The lie was exposed, Wen Shu wasn’t ashamed, but Sai Yin’s sudden change in attitude was indeed a bit unsettling.

She grabbed Wu Xuan’s wet clothes, looking at Sai Yin’s broad back, frowned and said, "Did he save me?"

Wu Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly, his whole body seemed engulfed by dark clouds, low pressure frighteningly intense.

He tightened his arms, his golden eyes flashing with complex emotions, replied lowly, "Mm..."

Seeing him unhappy, Wen Shu became more confused, trying to recall what happened during her fainting spell.

But her chaotic mind only remembered her seemingly swallowing something cool?

The more she thought, the more her head hurt. Wen Shu tiredly closed her eyes, hugged Wu Xuan’s waist, found a comfortable position, "Ah, so tired..."

Wu Xuan kicked the room door shut, the form in his arms rubbed against him. He lowered his gaze to her, his cold eyebrows softened slightly, "Wait a while before sleeping."

Taking her into the bathroom, he found two outfits, intending to change Wen Shu into one, only to see her defenselessly asleep leaning against the bathtub.

That fair little face pressed a red mark, her soft and graceful body faintly visible in the steaming water surface.

Wu Xuan swallowed, bearing the heat rushing in his abdomen, carried the female into the bed, wanted to shower, but his waist was tightly hugged by a slender arm.

"Stay with me..."

The female’s soft voice transmitted into his ears.

Wu Xuan’s body stiffened, his large hand cupped her face, impulsively kissed her, but transformed into a gentle kiss upon nearing.

"Goodnight, Ashu."

He tenderly tucked Wen Shu in, seeing her tranquil sleeping face, tiptoed into the bathroom.

He glanced at his own state, chuckled helplessly, feeling a hint of sweet pain.

After a restful night, when Wen Shu awoke, warm sunshine had already filled the porthole.

She felt refreshed, tried to sit up, but the arm at her waist applied slight force, pushing her back into the male’s scorching chest.

"Sleep a little longer..."

The low, sexy voice made Wen Shu’s ear tips tingle.

She raised her eyes to Wu Xuan, saw the dark circles under his eyes, thinking of something, her cheeks flushed, nestling into his firm chest.

"Sleep, I’ll stay with you."

She held his well-defined muscle, feeling great, her mind drifting back to last night.

That octopus...

The ability to purify Corpse Beasts was the heroine’s power bestowed by Beast God, yet she also succeeded.

When she arrived in this world, she vaguely speculated whether her power that could purify zombie virus might also purify similar Giant Corpse Beasts.

But she hadn’t expected it to actually work!

Wen Shu gazed out the window, at the sun swaying with the ship’s motion.

She always felt her death followed by arriving in this world might not be so simple...

"Xiao Wen, the female, are you in?"

Her scattered thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

"I have something very important to discuss with you."

Is it Sai Yin?

Wen Shu got up to open the door, but before she jumped off the bed, a large calloused hand grabbed her ankle, "Don’t go..."
