The Gu Diao is a ferocious beast, and its temper can flare up at any moment.
It pulled Lorraine along, its voice almost a roar.
"Why are you so stubborn? Have you ever considered that this danger was caused by your lake owner?"
If Le Dai had previously looked down on it somewhat, now it had completely turned into loathing it.
"My life was saved by the Lord of the Lake, and the peace of the past hundred years was also given by it. It knows my feelings for you and was afraid that I would entrust myself to the wrong person, so it even thought of helping me test you. It treats me so well..."
The more Le Dai spoke, the angrier she became.
"How dare you speak ill of it in front of me? Leave now, just pretend I never loved you, and never saved you..."
The Gu Diao panicked upon hearing this; it had been severely injured when it jumped down from the Beast Realm.
My personal space is also sealed off; I just want to go to the lake for a drink of water.
But because he was too weak, he fell headfirst into the lake.
If it weren't for Le Dai giving him the Heart-Protecting Scale, he would probably be dead even in his beast form.
It touched its chest, looking at Le Dai with sorrowful eyes.
"Your scales are still with me, how can you say you never loved me?"
Tears were already streaming down Le Dai's face as she turned away.
But it could not abandon the lake lord and all the spirits, and live on its own.
"It's just a scale; we fish have them all over our bodies. Don't think too highly of yourself..."
After saying that, it swam towards the palace without looking back.
Gu Diao felt as if his heart was being squeezed, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
It watched Le Dai's retreating figure, then suddenly ripped off the scales from its chest with a claw.
The blood instantly stained the surrounding lake red, while the unaware Le Dai continued to swim desperately back.
Having witnessed everything, Fen Teng could no longer stand by and watch.
A vine wrapped around it and headed towards the Gu Diao.
Le Dai screamed in fright, her demonic power flaring wildly.
It looked intimidating, but it didn't hit the target at all.
Even the vines were speechless.
"Um, you mean Le Dai? Don't go crazy, I mean no harm. It's just that your man's chest is bleeding profusely, it's really scary, you should take a look at it!"
Upon hearing this, Le Dai instantly calmed down, without even needing to pull or tug at the vines.
He swam with more enthusiasm than anyone else, even when he saw the unconscious Gu Diao.
It burst into tears.
"You really despise my scales that much? You had to tear them off with your bare claws? Don't you know you'll die without them? Waaaaah~"
It placed the scales back onto the Gu Diao's chest and then covered the scales with its own demonic power.
The bleeding gradually stopped, but the scales seemed to have gained a sense of self-control.
It flew back to Leslie's chest, and a moment later...
It sensed that the Gu Diao's life was slipping away, no matter what method it used.
Nothing could stop its life force from dissipating; Le Dai was almost in despair.
He had no choice but to spit out his own demon core and feed it to the Gu Diao.
"We, the Jialu, can only have one partner in our lifetime. Whoever we give our Heart-Protecting Scale to is the one we've chosen. I knew you were the one at first sight, which is why I used the Heart-Protecting Scale to save you. I love you, but I think I can no longer love you..."
After the demon core was swallowed by the Gu Diao, the heart-protecting scales returned to its chest on their own.
Its life force ceased to dissipate, and its vital energy began to replenish itself.
Seeing this, Le Dai was relieved and looked at the vines beside her.
"Are you leaving the lake? I can help you open the entrance, but you must take it with you and tell it that I no longer love it and that it should never come looking for me again."
Fujiwara agreed without hesitation.
“It’s no big deal, I promise I’ll pass on your message.”
Le Dai nodded and transformed into her true form.
After opening the entrance and sending them out, they swam in the opposite direction.
Tengteng can sense everything that is happening on the side where the vines are splitting.
It relayed the story to Qin Luo while expressing its regret.
"It's such a waste to give away the demon core I painstakingly cultivated..."
Qin Luo felt sorry for Yue Dai.
"That's why you can't just pick up any male vine. Look at this perfectly good fish demon, now it's turned into a fish. And remember this vine, never pick up a male vine again, it's too dangerous!"
Tengteng strongly agreed with her words.
"Let's not pick them up. Let's go back and educate all the plants and animals about it. Hey, do you think Le Dai can turn back?"
"It should be possible. Wen Yushu crushed the demon core and attached it to a person. It is said that it can be rebuilt after a hundred years. It should be able to as well."
"I hope so, otherwise it's really pitiful. What does it like about the Gu Diao? It's neither bird nor fish, and it's so ugly."
Qin Luo completely agreed with this statement.
"You bet! It startled me when I first saw it, but I think I know why Le Dai likes it."
"Why?"
"Because it has both a fish tail and wings."
Tengteng was completely confused by her.
"So what happened?"
Qin Luo gave him a look that said, "You're so stupid."
"No fish doesn't yearn to soar in the sky, but often when they are soaring, they are caught by birds and become their meal."
"Oh, the Gu Diao can fly into the sky without being eaten by birds, which is like you humans jumping off a mountain and surviving?"
Qin Luo then snapped his fingers.
"Bingo, it's like an ordinary person seeing a superhero when it sees a Gu Diao. It's hard not to fall in love with it."
Tengteng finally understood: if one day it sees the World Tree...
It probably thinks it would fall in love without hesitation!
After they finished talking, Ti Yuan and Jun Huai's demonic power hadn't been fully refined.
Qin Luo was too lazy to look anymore; it had been like this since yesterday.
She hadn't slept a wink for a day and a night, and now it was already broad daylight.
This could be considered a way of staying up late on New Year's Eve. She wandered around and randomly found a wooden couch.
