Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 23: Saving Jiaobai

After eating the soul-restoring grass, Ye Zhihan's complexion finally looked a little better, and the two of them were barely able to keep up with Jiao Mo's deliberately slowed down speed.

Mingluo helped Ye Zhihan swim upstream, her heart filled with joy at seeing him again. Facing this cold and handsome man who treated her sincerely, Mingluo liked him more and more. She couldn't help but lean over to Ye Zhihan's ear and whispered, "Ye Zhihan, thank you."

Ye Zhihan felt the slight breathing beside his ear, and his earlobe was dyed a blood-red color again. After arriving in the deep sea, he had been shy more often than usual.

Ming Luo looked at his plump and round earlobes that were rapidly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and couldn't help but chuckled softly, saying jokingly, "Don't be shy, I'm not teasing you."

"I'm not shy..." Ye Zhihan replied reluctantly, not daring to look directly into Ming Luo's eyes, so he raised his head and looked up.

Although Jiao Mo was some time away from them, he had profound skills and excellent hearing. After hearing the ambiguous conversation between the two, he suddenly became angry for no reason and did not deliberately slow down, but rushed up directly.

If Jiao Mo's beloved Jiao Bai was by his side, they would be the only ones feeding other people dog food, and there would be no reason for them to be treated as single dogs. Jiao Mo was aroused by the relationship between Ming Luo and Ye Zhi Han and missed Jiao Bai even more. He rushed out of the abyss like crazy.

Mingluo had to speed up and help Ye Zhihan swim upstream, wagging his tail. It must be said that swimming with a twisted tail was too tiring. Wagging the tail underwater was like doing ten sit-ups and high-kicks. Now Mingluo felt that his waist was almost broken.

Although the fish tail is beautiful, it is still not as convenient as a pair of legs!

After Ming Luo helped Ye Zhihan swim up, she saw an astonishing scene. The Liuguang City that was originally hidden in the barrier began to reveal the city. Jiao Mo just watched the show with satisfaction and didn't seem to take any action. The barrier slowly disappeared as if it was being eaten by insects from the inside out.

Mingluo thought of the black insect eggs growing on the rotten roots of the Qilan plant. They were the key to breaking the barrier!

Ye Zhihan also looked like he understood everything, but he just watched quietly from the side without saying anything.

The most panicked of all were undoubtedly the residents of Flowing Light City. They had been protected by Flowing Light City for generations, having lived within the barrier almost since their transformation. They had always known that the abyssal monsters coveted Flowing Light City's energy and treasures, but having lived a peaceful life, they had never expected a monster from the abyss to break through the barrier and lay at the gates.

Liuguang City was surrounded by a huge army of abyss monsters. The monsters blocked the entire city, with saliva dripping from their mouths full of yellow teeth, and they couldn't wait to pounce on and devour those delicious marine creatures.

After the barrier completely dissipated, Jiao Mo summoned all the black worms lurking within the Qilan trees with a secret command from the Abyss. Like a sea of ​​black insects, they uprooted each Qilan tree, sending the entire population of Flowing Light City into a state of chaos. Without the Qilan trees' energy supply, the once radiant Liuguang City lost its vibrant glow, becoming a dark, dark city, with only the screams of its residents.

Jiao Mo watched with satisfaction as the black worms destroyed the city, and ordered the abyss monsters to be released into Liuguang City. As long as Liuguang City was overturned, Jiao Bai, who was trapped under the formation on the seabed, would be saved.

Ming Luo looked at the apocalyptic scene before him, his hands cold. Marine creatures were being bitten, torn, and devoured, beautiful crystal houses were being smashed and overturned, and Liuguang City seemed to have truly become a doomsday dead city.

After this destruction, the huge formation under Liuguang City was soon revealed. Under the huge formation, a beautiful woman dressed in white seemed to be sleeping. Her skin was whiter than snow, her lips were slightly pursed, her white eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her angel-wing-like eyelashes were trembling constantly. She looked like she was having a nightmare from which she could not escape.

Ming Luo looked at the inviolably beautiful Jiao Bai, whose body was covered with holes. Half of her beautiful fish tail was missing, and her white scales were peeled off, revealing only blurry flesh and blood. What was even more terrifying was that there was only a black hole in Jiao Bai's heart. This immediately wiped out the slight sympathy Ming Luo had for Liuguang City.

Mingluo suddenly thought, no wonder these blue plants always moved towards Qilanzhu when they were investigating her before. It turned out that she had shark-white scales on her body, and Qilanzhu wanted to absorb the energy in her body!

Thinking of this, Ming Luo felt a chill in his heart.

If the colorful skirt is made of fish tails and scales, then where is Jiaobai's heart? Mingluo felt a sense of foreboding again, and she paid close attention to the changes in Liuguang City.

"Jiao Bai..." Jiao Mo stared at the suffering of his lover, his heart aching. He transformed into a huge mermaid prototype and threw himself towards Jiao Bai under the formation with tears in his eyes. He wanted to touch her, he wanted to comfort her, he wanted to hug her and kiss her. He missed her so much that he lost his mind.

"Wait!" Ming Luo was still a step too late.

Jiao Mo pounced on Jiao Bai and hurriedly used his fish tail and hands to destroy the formation. Jiao Bai's formation was indeed destroyed, and they both returned to their normal human size.

Jiao Mo gently stroked Jiao Bai's fair face and wiped the tears from the corners of Jiao Bai's eyes. The tears turned into fluorescent pearls and fell under her silver hair.

Ming Luo swam hurriedly above Liuguang City, quickly searching the surroundings, trying to find anyone with suspicious behavior.

Chaos, all she saw before her were the chaotic ruins, fighting and fleeing. Her eyesight could not help her find the culprit.

Ye Zhihan had good eyesight and he was the first to notice the burly uncle that the two of them were familiar with. The uncle seemed to be staring in a certain direction, waiting for an opportunity to strike. He stretched out his hand to remind Ming Luo.

Ming Luo followed the direction Ye Zhihan pointed and saw the burly uncle who had been mumbling to himself again. Was it Uncle Tuan who was behind this? Ming Luo was puzzled. Uncle Tuan had specifically provided them with clues about the mermaids, so he shouldn't be the mastermind behind this. Perhaps the person Uncle Tuan was watching was the key.

Seeing that the formation was broken, Jiao Mo immediately picked up Jiao Bai, but when he was about to get up and swim away, he found himself trapped in a new formation. However, this formation was not yet completed and was not very solid. Jiao Mo took advantage of his rage and slammed into the wall of the formation again and again.

A dark deathly mist surged around Jiao Mo's body, and his blood-red eyes stared straight at the person who cast the spell through the black blindfold. The person was also the person that Uncle Tuan was staring at closely - the Lord of Liuguang City who was hiding not far away, not Uncle Tuan who was thrown out to be used as a gun.

Then the creatures of the abyss rushed towards the Lord of Liuguang City as if they were possessed. Even if the City Lord imprisoned Jiao Mo here, Jiao Mo would make the City Lord pay for his life!

Mingluo noticed Jiaomo's gaze and immediately swam towards where he was looking, with Ye Zhihan following closely behind. A thick magical shield surrounded the City Lord of Flowing Light. Strangely, this shield seemed to be alive and constantly pulsating. The abyssal creatures kept charging at the shield, but they couldn't cause the slightest damage.
