Chapter 202: There were no romantic kisses, only the desire to survive!
"breathe!"
Words become law!
The seawater was instantly torn open like a curtain, and the air forcefully filled the burning chest of the rosewood!
The moment the air rushed in, Huali's hands, which had been limp and powerless due to lack of oxygen, suddenly burst forth with astonishing strength!
With a desperate ferocity, the girl grabbed Yan Xi's "collar" tightly and rushed forward, her gaze widening in his eyes!
Entering the sea means becoming a mermaid. Yan Xi, who was naked from the waist up, felt a tightness on his scalp. The lips that had been separated for less than a second were pressed against his again!
Compared to his water-breathing technique, which was devoid of any emotion, the girl's sudden collision with him felt amplified several times over.
The icy seawater continued to surge around us.
The wristband on my wrist is still burning.
Even the tearing apart caused by the backlash of the soul is still spreading!
But Yan Xi could clearly feel the cold trembling on the girl's lips and her greedy breathing due to extreme lack of oxygen.
Not enough! Still not enough!
The rosewood seemed to devour the very source of the air with an almost tearing, ruthless scavenging.
Live! Everything else is bullshit! All she wants is to live!
Yan Xi tightened his grip on Hua Li's nape unconsciously, and his other arm instinctively wrapped around her waist.
Upon realizing that the girl was not at all alluring and was merely acting out of instinct for survival, the astonishment in his eyes was immediately replaced by a profound darkness.
Now is the perfect opportunity.
Almost instantly, Yan Xi's fingers, which were clasped around the back of her neck, quietly gathered spiritual energy and pressed down gently.
Huali, who was struggling to breathe, froze, her body instantly losing all support, and collapsed into Yanxi's arms.

Despite being quite far away, Zhanli was still slammed into the icy sea by the huge waves.
The excruciating pain tore at his lungs and insides, and a mouthful of scalding blood gushed out uncontrollably, cutting through a blinding crimson mist in the dark seawater.
As Zhan Li's body sank deeper, the image of Hua Li falling into the water flashed rapidly through his mind. Suddenly, a ferocious force beyond his limits erupted from the boy's fading consciousness!
He drew his spiritual energy from his fingertips across his arm, and the sharp pain forcibly brought him back to consciousness.
"open--!"
The boy's pupils, which overlapped deep within his eyes, suddenly lit up, their brilliant light piercing through the churning blood and filth, like a probe frantically sweeping towards the dark abyss below.
Found it!
Even in the deepest darkness, separated by thick seawater, Zhan Li could still lock onto the fleeting, blurry figure at a glance.
In that instant when his mind was in turmoil and his double pupils flickered uncertainly—
Boom!!!
The deathly still and oppressive seawater above was suddenly forcibly broken open by a pure and concentrated force!
A slender yet exceptionally swift figure swam toward him like a fish breaking through the water!
Qi Ran's anxious and resolute face suddenly collided with the boy's blurred vision due to the intense pain and overuse of his double pupils.
In an instant, Zhanli's heart was torn apart!
Seeing Qi Ran rushing towards him without regard for anything else, a warm and instinctive sense of security welled up inside him.
—She really would risk everything for him.
However, Zhan Li did not immediately float up with Qi Ran. Instead, after a moment of stunned silence, he continued to lower his head!
The rosewood is still down there!
Blood gushed from his throat as Zhan Li frantically pointed towards the abyss below, his eyes burning with a chilling intensity.
Qi Ran, who had finally caught up with the rescuer, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Even before she arrived, she had already instructed Fu Yan to rescue the mortal from the sea immediately.
Sensing Zhan Li's weak struggle, Qi Ran assumed it was just confusion and panic from his serious injuries.
She took out the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl given to her by Li Yuan and quickly enveloped the two of them. The icy seawater was forcibly pushed aside, and the two of them instantly floated to the surface.

The cool moonlight, like silver frost, silently spilled onto the jagged, black jade-like rocks.
On the other side of the reef, the moonlight outlined Yan Xi's slender and graceful figure. His long, silver-blue hair, like the finest seaweed silk, gently brushed against the sleeping girl in his arms.
The enormous fish tail, covered in fine scales, shimmered with a violet luster and swayed gently with the rhythm of the waves, silently revealing the body's joyful mood at that moment.
Yan Xi looked down at the girl in his arms. The moonlight wove their hair into a net, and water droplets rolled down their sides, tracing their skin as they touched, before finally disappearing into the darkness.
"Oh."
The mermaid's ethereal voice, with its heart-stirring rhythm, rang out amidst the crashing waves, "Look..."
Yan Xi sighed, a faint smile playing on his lips, like a lover's most intimate whisper, yet it sent a chill down one's spine: "Waves under the moonlight, wind on the rocks..."
The voice continued to flow, describing the fleeting beauty before them, "This is your last... freedom after entering the Abyss."
Ao Bai screamed like a chicken in terror: "!!!"
This guy is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!!
Ao Bai: "Host!! Host!! Wake up!! We're trafficking people!"
Karin was completely unaware of this, and even subconsciously shifted her body, burying her face in the other person's neck to try and sleep more comfortably.
The silent incantation flowed from Yan Xi's mouth.
Then, starting from where their wet hair intertwined, a glimmer of light, like a pearl sleeping in the deep sea, was awakened and quietly emerged.
Second point... third point... countless tiny, sparkling bubbles are born.
As the bubbles multiplied, the bodies of the two people embracing each other began to become hazy and transparent, eventually dissipating completely.
Only a silent galaxy, formed by billions of bubbles, remained on the reef, swirling in the night sky, carrying an indescribable sense of destiny, before gracefully sinking into the sea.

Qi Ran struggled to drag Zhan Li to the shore, her usually gentle and beautiful face now showing signs of distress. "Zhan Li, are you alright?"
"Cough...cough..." Zhan Li turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. "And...Hua Li...save her..."
Qi Ran's gaze faltered for a moment. "Huali is here too?"
"You and her..."
"What did you do to her?!"
A piercing roar echoed through the night sky, accompanied by the Xuanfeng Sword flashing with flames!
Qi Ran's expression changed, and the moment the card defense was activated, she turned to look at the person who had come!
Tang Wanwan is going crazy!
What sins did she commit in her past life to be stuck with this damned thing called Huali!
Deeply affected by the deadbeat's tendency to disappear at the drop of a hat, Tang Wanwan ran all the way here, only to find nothing!
Tang Wanwan's gaze was practically murderous. "Where's Huali? Did you deliberately lure her here?!"
"You even lied to a three-year-old child, are you even human?!" Tang Wanwan pointed at Zhan Li with heartache.
Why did I forget to say that not only should you not accept candy, but you should also absolutely not respond to people you know who try to talk to you?!
Zhan Li spat out a mouthful of blood, "Huali is in the sea..."
"What?! You threw Huali into the sea?" Xiaota's aura surged with rage, her face devoid of any cuteness, like a crazed monster!
Qi Ran narrowly escaped with her people, looking at Zhao Heng behind them with complicated emotions, "Dang Kang... you actually survived."
Zhao Heng, who survived, looked serious and, without even looking up, added all her friends to the group chat on the communication stone.
With the belief that there is strength in numbers when things are urgent, the group leader Zhao Heng typed a message.
"Karin has been kidnapped by Zhanli!"
