Lake bottom.

When Xiluo was asked if she had any more treasures.

She shook her head instinctively.

Then I saw that Yan Jiu looked like she had given up.

Xi Luo swam to the edge of the formation and asked in confusion, "You're human. Did you just stop the saffron demon?"

Yan Jiu simply clasped his hands in thanks and said, "On behalf of everyone in the world, I thank you for your selfless dedication, my friend. Goodbye forever."

Xi Luo didn't understand the first half of Yan Jiu's sentence.

But she understood the second half of the sentence.

Xi Luo flicked her tail impatiently.

For four years, she remained at the bottom of the dark lake, not knowing how many more four years she had left to atone for her sins.

Rest in peace when the tide recedes.

So, is it permissible to dance when the tide rises?

She just wanted someone to be with her, and it would be even better if that person was the one in front of her.

Yan Jiu noticed Xi Luo's loneliness: "Need someone to keep you company? No problem, I'll call Lin Han down."

Xi Luo shook her head frantically.

She had intended to say that merfolk have no fixed gender, they can be male or female, and if Yan Jiu also fell in love with her at first sight, she could…

Sudden.

The rat-headed cane fell outside the formation.

It stirred up specks of mud and water from the bottom of the lake.

Shuqin, with her hands behind her back, slowly got down to look for her cane, seemingly unintentionally interrupting Xiluo's words.

Don't covet what doesn't belong to you.

Xi Luo lowered her fish tail, clearly understanding Shu Qin's unspoken meaning.

Yan Jiu covered her ears, looking unhappy, and said, "How can getting rich overnight be a pipe dream!"

Shu Qin simply smiled and said, "Sacrificing oneself to the spring is the mission of the Merfolk. What else would you like to know?"

Yan Jiu lowered her hand.

She wanted to know what kind of calamity had occurred that year that made Lang Zongyi unable to let go of it for so long.

Shu Qin looked at Yan Jiu's profile with affection and said knowingly, "The past cannot be changed, we must look forward."

She gazed intently at Yan Jiu.

Forgive her for not being able to tell Yan Jiu too much.

Some things are just not ready yet.

Just as Zhong Pingquan was destined to die, the Demon Management Bureau was destined to disappear, and the demon and ghost races were destined to have a new leader.

Someone still needs to grow.

Only when you grow to a certain age can you understand the sorrows lurking in the years.

Yan Jiu surfaced, standing on the shore, unwilling to leave: "Did we come all this way for nothing?"

She had Lang Zongyi restart the file in order to resolve the issue at the bottom of the lake spring, so that the S-level file could be completely closed and preparations made for road construction.

But she couldn't just ask the native fish to give her space, nor could she directly reveal that she could absorb darkness.

Upon hearing this...

Shu Qin said with a kind smile, "How could that be? Didn't we deal with the flower demon and visit some tourist attractions?"

Yan Jiu was slightly taken aback.

The tourist attraction was what she said at the beginning of her live stream.

Logically speaking, Shu Qin was still dozing off in Lin Han's shadow at that time, so how could she have known?

Yan Jiu seemed to be deep in thought.

Huo Yu looked at the instrument in his hand: "Someone is coming, or rather, not a person."

Before he could finish speaking...

Several figures landed on the shore.

Without exception, they all wore masks and surrounded Yan Jiu and the others in a formation.

Leading the group was Lou Nayu, who was wearing a cloak.

Yan Jiu has not yet reacted.

Shuqin gripped her cane tightly.

The newcomer seemed to be extremely terrifying.

Lou Nayu smiled slightly and said, "In this absurd and dark world, calmness is a desecration of the new laws."

He glanced at it casually.

An oppressive aura, brimming with boundless killing intent, descended.

Lin Han and Huo Yu, in particular, were even imprisoned by this oppressive force that seemed to materialize.

Lou Nayu stretched out his left hand, which was wrapped in black bandages.

Count them one finger at a time.

His tone was very calm: "You broke the formation in Beihai, you killed the old woman in Zhushan, you stole the Three Pure Bells of the Green Face, you should have taken the peach wood sword of Xuanmen, and you should have taken the knife from the ancient tomb in the Northwest."

Speaking of which...

He paused for a moment.

Lou Nayou stared intently in Yan Jiu's direction: "Then, you must have destroyed the map of the nine great magical artifacts of Tianlian Mountain. After doing so many wrong things, you should at least do something right."

He only used right and wrong.

Instead of using terms like "good" or "bad," it didn't describe it that way.

Yan Jiu's pupils contracted.

She had been curious about what that picture was.

She had intended to discuss this with Lang Zongyi at some time, but unexpectedly, the person in front of her told her the answer!

Shu Qin instantly stepped in front of Yan Jiu.

The cane was lifted off the ground and then lowered back down, and a protective array composed of ten thousand feet of light enveloped Yan Jiu and the others.

A jet-black rat-like creature appeared behind Shu Qin: "With this old man here, you shall not be so arrogant!"

Lou Na shook his head, looking unwilling to confront Shu Qin: "Don't block my way."

The wind billowed the cloak.

Lou Nayu's moves flew everywhere.

The loud crash to the ground carried far in the quiet evening, loud enough to be heard throughout the entire water village.

The smoke and clouds made of snowflakes dissipated, the masked man on the shore disappeared without a trace, and Lou Nayou and Yan Jiu were also gone.

The bottom of the lake at that time.

Yan Jiu held a horse-slaying sword.

This created distance between them and Lou Nayu.

Lou Nayou wasn't angry; she just smiled and said, "They're getting in the way and will ruin our first meeting."

Yan Jiu gripped the knife in reverse.

I thought to myself that this wasn't the first time I'd seen this.

Lou Nayu suddenly said, "Don't you want to know what happened that year? Break it and you'll find out."

Yan Jiu looked at the spring.

Xi Luo's eyes were full of vigilance, and the scales on her face popped open slightly. She wished she could rush out and stand in front of Yan Jiu.

Lou Nayou sensed Xi Luo's wariness. He smiled coldly, making no attempt to conceal his oppressive aura. His entire being seemed to have transformed into a bottomless, dark, dry well.
