Chapter 37 Sea Play

◎Heartbeat◎

Shi Hanqiao shuttled underwater, his golden hair floating freely like seaweed, but he changed his mind after getting closer.

She playfully grabbed the ankle of the well-proportioned foot floating on the sea and pulled hard.

The trousers fit tightly against the legs, outlining the slender yet explosive lines of the legs. The black color abruptly ends at the waistline. The sea water wraps around the slender and powerful waist from all directions. The water molecules caress the six-pack abdominal muscles back and forth, and the water flows rhythmically.

Shi Hanqiao floated up and Luo Wusheng dived down.

Two figures intersected on the sea surface covered with silver light. Under the sea surface, time seemed to be diluted and stretched by the water.

The pupils of his phoenix eyes suddenly widened as the seawater rushed in, as if to peer into his eyes and peer into his past. The discomfort made him close his eyes to block the incoming attack. When he felt his head was completely submerged, he slowly opened his eyes against the pressure.

The crow feathers appear denser underwater, casting a water curtain shadow on the bright eyes. Light and shadow intertwine in the pupils, forming an extremely gorgeous sea of ​​stars, attracting people to delve deeper into the mystery behind the sea of ​​stars.

Because of the impact of the water flow, the corners of his upturned eyes were flushed red. The extremely tough eyes and fragile appearance were integrated in the contradiction. Shi Hanqiao's mind moved, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand, and his fingertips brushed across the corner of his left eye.

The phoenix eyes reflected the same slender and powerful body. The same black trousers were tightly fitted to the long legs. Under the black vest was the vest line he had seen before. The lines were like a swimming fish underwater, and the ripples in the water carried the residual strength.

As I looked upward, my long black hair lingered even more languidly in the water, the moonlight filtering through the shimmering surface, casting a shimmering glow on her. The inky black and white formed a simple yet striking contrast, like a deity sunk into the depths, now slowly emerging to reveal her true form.

Luo Wusheng opened his thin lips, and bubbles of varying sizes bubbled up. Seawater rushed toward his mouth and nose, choking the young man and causing him to cough. A faint blush crept across his pale face.

He was satisfied to see the light in the phoenix eyes, but the painful expression that followed was something Shi Hanqiao had not expected. The joy of the successful prank turned into a guilty conscience because of the young man's discomfort.

She reached out and lifted his waist, and both heads broke through the surging sea surface at the same time, their long black and golden hair intertwined and stuck to their shoulders and necks.

"Cough, cough, cough——"

During the struggle, Luo Wusheng wrapped his left arm around her neck, rested his head on her left shoulder as if unintentionally, and covered his lips with his right hand while coughing violently.

In fact, only the first two were real coughs after choking on water. After that, he opened his eyes while coughing, crystal water droplets dripped from his crow feathers, and an unknown light flowed between his phoenix eyes.

The young man who pretended to choke on water was naturally guilty. He held on to the shoulders and neck of girl A with his left hand tightly to prevent her from seeing his face. His heart was beating like a drum, playing an intense melody on the silent sea.

"Are you feeling better?"

The cold voice became soft under the moonlight. Luo Wusheng raised his head slightly, his pupils shrank, and his body became stiff.

The cold touch on the back of his neck was not worth such an intense reaction. He had no time to care about anything else and kept taking deep breaths to suppress the discovery that made his heart surge.

His heavy, rapid breathing hit his shoulders and neck. Shi Hanqiao thought he was frightened and had not yet recovered. She was not good at comforting others. She opened and closed her lips, but just silently pressed her hand on the back of his neck to transfer more mental strength for comfort.

She is the Demon Lord!

Luo Wusheng had no substantial evidence, but he was 90% sure of the result of this guess.

In the astral realm, the Demon Lord had soothed his spiritual power in the same way. There were slight differences in the transmission of spiritual power between reality and the astral realm, but they were generally similar.

Moreover, if Shi Hanqiao's mental power was really only C-level, her mental power would not be able to comfort him.

The young man sniffed lightly, and the wet and salty sea breeze was mixed with the fragrance of lily of the valley. Last time, she did not acknowledge the scent of lily of the valley, so he had to keep it in mind for the time being.

However, she is not the type to deliberately hide it.

"Do you smell it? Ahem, it smells like lily of the valley." He decided to take the risk and ask again.

Shi Hanqiao sniffed around and found a strange fragrance mixed in with the wet and salty sea breeze. It was fresh with a hint of sweetness, which reminded people of slightly sweet and soft cream.

"No." She was sure that the scent was not lily of the valley, but more like rose, but not quite.

As she described it, Luo Wusheng could smell the scent she was talking about, and his ears couldn't help but burn. She unconsciously released pheromones, but it was Shi Hanqiao who noticed it first. This was really embarrassing.

However, she didn't need to lie to him. She must have really only smelled his pheromones and not her own.

Then why could he smell his own pheromones and hers?

"Are you feeling better?"

Luo Wusheng's wandering thoughts were interrupted by a woman's voice close to his ear. A constant warmth came from the palm of his hand on his lower back, and the back of his neck was also soothed by his spiritual power. Only then did he truly realize that they were tightly pressed together, as if they were the only driftwood on the endless sea.

"Ok, cough, much better."

This time he was not pretending, he really choked on the water.

Shi Hanqiao let him go. Since everything was fine, there was no need for her to hold him. The situation was urgent just now, and now she realized that this distance was really too close.

The only one who could get close to her, apart from Hunyuan Ling, was the dead Luo Wei.

The wet hair stuck to her face, and she casually brushed it away. Long-lost memories emerged under the moonlight. In the past, Luo Wei would wipe her hair for her, although she often couldn't control the strength well and would break dozens of hairs every time.

Looking back now, my mentality is completely different from before.

Shi Hanqiao lowered his eyes, quickly concealing the emotions in his eyes, and said to the coast, "Let's go back."

Boom——

She turned around quickly, and saw waves splashing and the sea surface was turbulent, but there was no trace of Luo Wusheng.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Hanqiao dived into the sea. Luo Wusheng was falling continuously, but because of his struggle, his speed was not very fast.

She swam quickly to his side and took in the situation. A strand of emerald green waterweed stretched out from the depths, tightly wrapped around his left leg, and continuously pulled him down.

Scarlet blood spread out where the seaweed was entangled. Shi Hanqiao felt a pain in his eyes and swam over quickly to grab the swaying seaweed.

Sensing danger, the waterweed cut off its tips to protect itself, retreating deeper. Shi Hanqiao loosened her grip, and the current instantly dispersed the remaining fragments. She untangled the waterweed from Luo Wusheng's calf, and blood continued to flow from the wound. She stepped forward, grabbed his waist, pulled his wrist through her neck, and swam with him towards the shore.

As he walked onto the shallows, the wound on Luo Wusheng's leg continued to bleed. Even though he endured the pain and didn't make any sound, his speed still slowed down.

Shi Hanqiao noticed this, and moved his hand from the back of his waist to his shoulders. He bent down and picked up his knees, then picked him up and walked towards the tent, much faster than before.

"Don't move!"

The woman's low growl and the strength of her arms stopped the young man's struggles. It was the first time he had been held like this by someone, an Alpha. Furthermore, Shi Hanqiao was very likely the Demon Lord. One was real, the other was imaginary, and both were objects of his affection.

Luo Wusheng's mind was blank. No matter how many calculations and plans he made, they were useless under the surging emotions.

He could only let Shi Hanqiao hold him as they walked steadily towards the shower tent, where a small stool was placed for him. As the warm water poured over him, dispelling the salty smell of the sea, he gradually came to his senses. His face and ears were flushed, and his body gradually became lightly pink.

Fortunately, the camera ball had been locked away, and no one on the beach could see it. Luo Wusheng turned the water down to cool it, washing away the heat and chaotic thoughts in the air.

After turning off the switch, he realized that the space button containing his clothes was not at hand, but he couldn't go out naked. While he was struggling, footsteps were heard outside the curtain.

"Are you okay?"

Shi Hanqiao was soaked by the sea water, so naturally she would wait until she finished taking a shower before entering the tent. While Luo Wusheng was taking a shower, she went for a walk on the beach. She had just consumed some soul power under the pressure of the sea water, and she replenished it after practicing for a while under the moonlight.

When she came back, there was no one in the living tent and no sound in the shower tent. However, thinking that they were too close in the sea, she asked one more question to avoid embarrassment.

He wouldn't slip because of a mere leg injury.

Shi Hanqiao's voice made Luo Wusheng feel relieved to a certain extent, but then he was filled with uncontrollable and unfamiliar shyness. After all, he was a male Omega and she was a female Alpha. Regardless of whether they were primary or secondary genders, they were absolutely opposite sexes.

"He didn't really fall, did he?"

Shi Hanqiao muttered softly, whether in the star realm or in reality, he shouldn't be so weak.

The image of the phoenix eyes, which were choked red by the sea water, suddenly flashed through my mind. The tough eyes filled with water and the red corners of the eyes should not appear at the same time, but they perfectly blended strength and fragility, just like a flower quietly blooming under the ruins.

Maybe, next time I fight him, I can use a little less force?

As she thought about it, she reached out to lift the curtain because she got no response.

"No!"

The fingertips that were passing through the curtain paused, and Luo Wusheng spoke at double the speed, telling her the location of the space button and asking her to help get it.

After a while, the hand reached in again, and his space button was placed on the open palm.

"Thank you." After saying that, Luo Wusheng began to regret it, fearing that his voice was too soft and Shi Hanqiao couldn't hear it because of the curtain.

The voice from outside the curtain, "No, just hurry up," made him breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly took out a bathrobe and put it on. Luo Wusheng immediately went into the shower tent.

"Black?" Shi Hanqiao was surprised that his bathrobe was black. "I think white would look better."

The bathrobe belt is wrapped around his slender waist. Gold and black are both extremely strong colors. The extreme color combination highlights the aggressiveness of his facial features. If it were white, it would set off the elegance and luxury of his blond hair, making him look more handsome and elegant.

Shi Hanqiao said something unintentional. Until she went to take a shower, Luo Wusheng was still hesitating whether to change into a white bathrobe. And it was indeed because he saw her in pure black in the sea that he chose black between the two colors.

After he changed back to white, he was in a dilemma again. Would this make it too obvious that he cared about what she said?

No, no.

Luo Wusheng changed into a black bathrobe again. As he heard footsteps approaching, he hurriedly tied his belt.

After taking a shower, the stuffy heat on the surface of the skin dissipated. Shi Hanqiao walked in with a towel around her neck. She sat down opposite him while rubbing her hair, her eyes wandering around aimlessly. Her hand rubbing her hair paused, and her empty eyes suddenly focused on the opposite side.

Most of her long golden hair, still smooth and smooth, was draped down her back, with a little bit tucked into her black bathrobe. Her collar was slightly messy, revealing a large area of ​​white. Two red plum blossoms were faintly visible in the snow, and a black soft belt was loosely tied around her waist.

Shi Hanqiao calmly shifted her gaze away, her brows suddenly furrowed. She lowered her hand that was rubbing her hair and took the space button filled with medical supplies.

"Why haven't you treated the wound yet?"

The wound was mainly on the left leg, with a little bit of it spreading to the thigh. Luo Wusheng was indeed unable to complete the bandaging on his own.

"I applied some medicine to stop the bleeding. I'll bandage it later."

Luo Wusheng's brain is an encyclopedia. From the underwater shadows and wound marks, he determined that the one who injured him was the "devil's water grass". It has excellent flexibility and is shaped like a sickle. Its jagged edges will embed into the prey's body and release a light toxin.

The toxin doesn't harm the human body; instead, it sharpens consciousness. However, a certain amount can cause general weakness. The human body already expends considerable energy in seawater, and once entangled by the devil weed, the struggle consumes even more energy. The weed is incredibly flexible and difficult to break free of, and the injected toxin quickly spreads throughout the body due to the struggle.

Once the prey is entangled, it cannot easily break free and is clearly aware of the pain of drowning. Its movement speed is very slow, which means that once the prey is captured by it, it will die in extreme and long torture. This is the life of the devil water grass.

"Let me do it."

Considering that Luo Wusheng was a wounded soldier, Shi Hanqiao took the gauze and scissors and bandaged his wound skillfully and completely.

Finally, she tied a bow on his thigh above his knee.

"It's not bad for the first time bandaging."

Shi Hanqiao looked at his "work" with satisfaction. The medical level in the interstellar space is quite advanced.

Not hearing Luo Wusheng's voice, she raised her head and was puzzled by the complicated look in the phoenix eyes.

She looked down at her bandage, which was neat and tight, without any omissions, and she really couldn't see any flaws.

"Do you get hurt often?"

Luo Wusheng bit his lower lip and calmed the emotions surging in his heart.

"What?"

Shi Hanqiao's heartbeat paused with the movement of his hand, and he raised his head again with a puzzled smile on his face.

"Are you often injured? That's why you're so skilled at bandaging."

When he thought of this possibility and looked at the faint smile on her face, Luo Wusheng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

He was the second person who glimpsed her past through her bandages and showed a distressed look.

Shi Hanqiao's eyes were serious, and the smile on her face became shallow. She licked her back teeth but didn't know what to say.
