"Is this also one of the benefits of your new ability?"

Xu Shi couldn't help but ask a question.

"Probably."

The dog woman did not deny it. In any case, the sea god was a legitimate sea creature. Now that she had obtained its abilities, even if it was a castrated version, she would inherit this advantage as well.

As she spoke, she released energy tentacles, striking a smug pose, "Hmph."

"Eek~ How scary."

Xia Ke'an was also with them, and when she saw Xie Qingyan switch to octopus girl, she couldn't help but tease her.

What are you saying?

The woman was displeased and raised the tentacles behind her. "That's enough, little brat. I'll whip you later and see if you'll still say that."

"Waaah, Aunt Xie is bullying me! Daddy, save me..."

The older woman immediately cowered and hid behind Xu Shi for protection.

"Don't you dare hide! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Xie Qingyan didn't care. "Xu Shi, get out of my way, or I'll deal with you too!"

"Okay, okay, what's going on?"

Xu Shi chuckled, sandwiched between the two, and jokingly tried to smooth things over, saying, "She's still just a child."

"Get lost, what kind of child is she?"

The slut wouldn't listen. "Even if she really is a child, is it right for her to do this? It's all because you spoil her all the time that she's like this!"

She became increasingly agitated as she spoke, "I know you all have prejudices against me, but is it really necessary to target me like this?"

"...What are you talking about? Who's targeting you?"

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Xu Shi frowned. "You're making a mountain out of a molehill."

This is true. After all, the girls get along quite well, and they often joke around. Xia Ke'an, in particular, enjoys it immensely, taking advantage of her current status.

But nobody really took it seriously, because everyone knew that there was no real malice between them.

However, this isn't the first time Xie Qingyan has had problems. She seemed a bit off when Shen Qin woke up last time, and she looks even more abnormal now.

Are you alright?

Realizing this, Xu Shi thought for a moment and reached out his hand to her, "Why don't you go back to the cabin and rest for a while?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyan reacted as if her hair had been bristled, and suddenly used her tentacles to push him away.

"Don't touch me!"

Looking up again, her eyes were now completely black.

There will be no knife
