The kiss landed squarely on my face, and almost instantly, my skin turned a deep red, clearly indicating the spread of the deadly poison.

Without hesitation, Bai Wen tore off his face, revealing flesh and blood with only bone and muscle structure.

This scene was far more terrifying than any sea anemone. The sailors screamed and fled in all directions, some even jumping into the sea in a panic.

Yu Wei turned her head away in disgust, her eyes almost blinded.

Nie Jingxing and Kong Sang had seen it many times before, but they didn't find it particularly terrifying; that feeling had long since passed since they were children.

But the sailors couldn't adapt. They thought they had encountered a ghost, and their emotions fluctuated greatly. They needed the person at the helm to be calm. Julie forcibly grabbed each person and explained things to them one by one, and finally things calmed down temporarily.

But the sailor who had jumped into the sea in fear refused to come up, for in his eyes, the giant sea anemone was more endearing than the white plague.

Just as an impatient Julie was about to lasso the person and forcibly pull them up,

No one noticed that the tentacles, once again shattered by the White Plague, glued together, stretched out, bound Kong Sang's waist, and dragged him into the sea...

"Kongsang!"

As Yu Wei called out, Nie Jingxing had already jumped into the sea, following Kong Sang's figure as he dived into the deep sea and disappeared without a trace.

Kongsang was being dragged along in the sea. She was startled at first, but she quickly realized that she could breathe.

Looking down at his chest, the deep blue fishtail tattoo shone brightly, filling him with a warm feeling.

Even when she wasn't by his side, he still protected her.

The anemone's tentacles did not seem to have the will to pierce her body and release toxins. Since she could breathe, Kong Sang was not afraid and wanted to see what was going on with kidnapping her.

Didn't the sailors say that sea anemones are brainless creatures? For that tentacle to do that, it must be being controlled by something. Could it be An Xiuqi's arrangement?

Fortunately, she had considered the possibility of separating from Yu Wei beforehand, so she wasn't worried; they would meet again on the Destroyer Ship...

The deep sea is not beautiful at all. At least this part of the deep sea is as silent as ruins. Along the way, Kongsang did not see any colorful life. It was full of the feeling of ruins.

There were no fish, no life, not even a single seaweed or other thriving plants to be seen.

Kong Sang felt as if he had been drifting for a very long time when finally, a change appeared before his eyes. In the distance, he saw giant white chrysanthemums...

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant sea anemone with countless white tentacles surging around it. The scene was beautiful, but it also made people feel uneasy.

Kongsang has a physiological aversion to this slender, wriggling species, and the tentacles around her waist entangle her and try to get closer.

Kongsang instinctively gathered a purple light blade, severing the restraints around his waist, and watched as the two broken tentacles were devoured by more tentacles.

Amidst the surging of countless tentacles, she noticed something was amiss.

There seems to be someone inside this sea anemone?

Kongsang approached warily, lengthening the light blade in his hand and stirring the tentacles to reveal the body of a thin man.

He wasn't breathing, his body was naked, and anemone tentacles covered his body. Even though they obstructed his vision, Kong Sang still recognized who this person was.

It was none other than his beloved younger brother, Nie Yan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

She was momentarily at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated. She roughly understood Nie Yan's thoughts: if he kidnapped her, Nie Jingxing would inevitably follow, and then she would naturally be able to see the brother she longed for.

They really do... always treat her like an easy target!

Needless to say, this situation must mean that he suffered very serious injuries and couldn't even control the physical mutations.

Although she wasn't breathing, judging from the anemone's behavior, she was certain that Nie Yan was still alive.

The heretic wielding the light blade is pressed against Nie Yan's heart. Should he kill him?

Countless tentacles coiled around the light blade, without attacking, as if affectionately cuddling with it.

A sickly "older sister" vaguely rang in his ears, and Kong Sang's expression became somewhat blank as he recalled the time when he was allowed to leave the base when he was young.

She and Nie Jingxing were already exhausted from the experiments, and all they wanted to do upon returning to the Nie family was to seize every opportunity to rest and recuperate.

A child who looked like a little angel was overjoyed to see them return, and with a bright, sunny smile, called out, "Brothers and sisters, will you play with me?"

She and Nie Jingxing simply ignored it and went into their respective rooms...

The boy was repeatedly rejected when he invited them out, and he seemed to never understand why his older siblings treated him so coldly.

She didn't know when it started, but Nie Yan's gaze towards her began to show jealousy, resentment, and even... malice.

Kong Sang smiled, realizing that what she later suffered was partly due to her own past actions.

If... she had spared even a sliver of attention for Nie Yan back then, perhaps she would have gained a clingy younger brother.

Unfortunately, at a young age, she was truly unable to bear any more burdens; the pain left her with no room for anything else.

She deliberately opened her hand, touched the white tentacles, and let them absorb her blood, turning it into a light pink color.

“Nie Yan, our feud ends here. I don’t know if you will survive, but at least I can grant you one more chance to see Nie Jingxing. Goodbye, my brother.”

Kong Sang chose a direction to wander in, without looking back even once. With the scent of her blood, Nie Jingxing would surely find her.

Consider it... compensation for the young Nie Yan.

Kong Sang was right. Not long after she left, Nie Jingxing appeared. The pink flowers seemed to get excited and frantically waved their tentacles, trying to attract more of Nie Jingxing's attention.

To his disappointment, the abyss's eyes only glanced at him, and after confirming that the figure he was looking for was not there, it simply brushed past him.

Knowing who he was, knowing he was going to die, I still didn't care at all...

Haha, just like when we were kids, my brother has never changed. Even if he tries to get my attention by holding my sister's jewelry, he won't look at me, Nie Yan, a second time...

The pink tentacles danced, seemingly in a final, frenzied dance of life, and as Nie Jingxing moved away, the outermost tentacles began to wither and decay.

When it was half-withered, two figures appeared beside him.

Wei Shengyi, enveloped in water bubbles, looked at the pink, flower-like tentacles and clicked his tongue, saying, "How pitiful. Even the young lady has softened her heart, yet Nie Jingxing didn't even glance at them."

Lin Changli remained expressionless, his hand clenching tightly. The surrounding water began to squeeze the flowers, causing them to wither rapidly until they were shredded into dust, leaving no trace.

“You were going to die anyway, why are you so bored?” Wei Shengyi asked.

Lin Changli did not reply. He was never a good person, nor did he have any so-called kindness. He would never forgive anyone who had bullied Sangsang.

What's more... in that dream, it was the boy in front of him who drove Sangsang to her death.

Although it was Sangsang's own choice, his choice was not to forgive!

Kong Sang was truly grateful for the siren's companion mark, otherwise she would have been in real trouble.

After swimming for so long, we ended up walking on the seabed. How far do we have to go? Isn't there any transportation?
