Yes, now is not the time for sweet nothings.

What's the point of just kissing here? Do you really think that a kiss can heal everyone's wounds with the power of love and then save the world like Superman?

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

"What should we do... I guess we have no choice but to explore and see?"

Xu Shi thought for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Maybe we can break through from within and find a way to defeat the Sea God."

"Oh, so you're not suggesting that your falling into the sea god's belly was actually premeditated, are you?"

Xie Qingyan blinked and asked in a very teasing tone.

"Of course, what do you think?"

Xu Shi nodded shamelessly, exuding an air of complete control.

To be fair, from a rational perspective, this statement is actually quite plausible... The power of the Sea God is obvious to all. Don't be fooled by Xia Wuyou and Cheng Gujian cutting down its tentacles one by one; in reality, they don't do much damage to its core. In fact, the tentacles grow back as soon as they turn their heads. At most, they are just cracking an eggshell.

As for other attacks, let's not even mention them; they can't be called scraping, they can only be called scraping.

In this situation, it's not unreasonable to try a different approach and break through from the inside; it also aligns with the traditional strategy for dealing with giant monsters.

But then again, who doesn't know that you, Xu Shi, definitely didn't fall into this trap out of rationality?

Even if such a thought did exist, at the time, the primary concern was probably saving lives, not this reason.

Only this guy is shameless enough to treat such a joke as a tonic. Anyone else would be lucky not to feel despair, let alone be able to laugh.

"...I knew it, my fiancé is the smartest."

What's even more outrageous is that Xie Qingyan, contrary to her usual behavior, didn't refute his words at all. Instead, she smiled and came closer, "Then let's set off... Can you walk? Come on, let me help you."

The words of agreement didn't sound sarcastic at all; rather, they truly conveyed the feeling that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that one feels their beloved is perfect in every way.

Or is it a kind of thoughtfulness? Knowing that this guy is hypocritical and cares about his image, he might as well let him pretend... Even if it's just the two of them here, no, it doesn't matter if there's Shen Qin and the other two, as long as they're happy.

Wow, who would have thought that Chairman Xie, who is known for his cold-blooded rationality, would one day become love-struck? It's unbelievable.

Xu Shi was a little unaccustomed to it. He knew that this was a honeymoon period after the two of them had gone through life and death together and there was no longer any barrier between them, but even so, he still couldn't quite accept Xie Qingyan's gentleness.

"Well... you weren't so bad the way you were before, were you?"

He asked a question tentatively, which fully demonstrated what it means for human beings to be inherently base and shameless.

He used to tell her to get rid of all her thorns herself, but now that she's actually done it, he's starting to miss the old ways...

"oh?"

The woman glanced at him with interest, then smoothly put on a stern face and gave him a light punch. "You think I'd be happy to help you? But you... you little burden, can you even walk by yourself? Don't try to be a hero here."

Well, this isn't right either. Compared to before, it's a bit too much and doesn't taste the same at all... Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes. So you've completely said goodbye to the past?

But he quickly let it go. With his sweet and soft fiancée nestled in his arms, what more could he ask for?

Isn't this also a manifestation of gentleness? People should learn to be content.

If you enjoy role-playing, you can do that later. Now is not the time to dwell on it; leaving this place is the right thing to do.

The two smiled at each other and helped each other walk forward.

In fact, Xie Qingyan herself was quite weak. No matter how good the medicine was, the dosage was too small, and it could only restore some mobility.

So, the one who's really putting on a brave face is actually herself... But there's nothing she can do about it. She just wants to stick close to Xu Shi right now. Helping him is just an excuse. Who helps whom doesn't really matter.

Xu Shi was also pleased and too lazy to expose her little trick. Instead, he waved to Shen Qin behind him and said, "What are you waiting for? Keep up."

"……knew."

Shen Qin rolled her eyes, got up and walked behind them, always keeping a safe distance.

She was speechless. Ever since this bastard took her out to sea, she had seen him being all lovey-dovey with girls, but she never expected him to be like this here too... What kind of person is this?

And Xie Qingyan too, you usually seem so capable, how come you were so easily fooled... The key question is, do you guys really have no sense of crisis at all?

We're inside the belly of the sea god! This isn't a spring outing!

As she was thinking this, she saw a sharp thorn suddenly emerge from the writhing flesh wall and pierce straight towards Xu Shi and the other person.

Is this some kind of digestive organ of the sea god? Shen Qin didn't know, but she did know that getting hit by this thing would definitely not end well.

Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan, however, showed no intention of dodging and continued to advance slowly without wavering.

……hateful!

Miss Shenqin gritted her teeth, leaped forward, and with a swift motion, slashed down the spikes when they were still 0.01 centimeters away.

The spikes landed at the feet, wriggled a few times, and then turned into a pool of blood. They were then instantly absorbed by the surrounding flesh, leaving no trace.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's all thanks to you, my dear sister."

Xu Shi then turned around and smiled at her.

The truth is, he didn't have much energy left to dodge; that's how it is for non-combatants... But fortunately, Shen Qin also came in, which was a great thing for him.
