Ye Xin didn't know how many times she had used this lame excuse. Since the little girl wasn't going to say it, she didn't want to ask any more questions.
Because she knew a little bit. When she was in the clan land, she could clearly feel the change in Zhenzhen's mother's attitude towards her, especially after she took out the necklace, the change became even more obvious.
Monsters are different from humans. Their keen senses are beyond the reach of humans. Often, they already know about the crisis before humans even realize it.
Although Ye Xin had restrained his spiritual power before entering the clan territory, the subtle terrifying aura on his body would still be emitted with his unintentional movements.
Zhenzhen's mother must have some hidden talent to accept her so quickly after seeing her. Otherwise, based on the grudges between spiritual beings and monsters, she would have been beaten out before even entering the clan territory.
The fact that Shui Zhenzhen was able to befriend her in this way was probably due not only to her own personality but also to her mother. However, Ye Xin did not feel uncomfortable with this friendship, as she had come with a purpose after all.
Since Shui Zhenzhen could give him the things without any hesitation, she would accept the favor. If the girl asked for anything in the future, she would help her within the scope of her ability.
Ye Xin didn't really want to think too badly of anyone, especially these girls. In a place where strength was respected and fists were supreme, shouldn't girls be more compassionate to each other?
In her opinion, having time to engage in female competitions means that one is not in a clear mind and is wasting the opportunity for cultivation given by heaven.

As soon as she walked out of the reef, Ye Xin touched the scales behind her ears. Zhenzhen had just told her that this thing could repel water and was more useful than any barrier or water-repellent beads.
She was skeptical, but still obediently removed the barrier.
As soon as the barrier fell, the scales started working automatically, isolating the seawater on Ye Xin's body surface, allowing her to touch things in the seawater at will without getting her clothes wet.
Okay! Ye Xin was slapped in the face by the scales. She had said no before, but now it was a warning of "it smells really good".
These scales were a hundred times better than the barrier. Although the barrier was also effective, she felt like she was wrapped in plastic, and whenever she touched something, she always felt like there was a thin film between her and it.
Now that she has scales, that filmy feeling is gone, and it feels like touching something real. And after touching something, her hands don't feel wet. This is such a good thing, she doesn't mind getting more.
Shui Zhenzhen circled around Ye Xin, staring at her without blinking, "Sister Ye, isn't this thing much more convenient than your barrier?"
Ye Xin picked up a piece of peculiarly shaped stone, nodded and praised it, "Yes, it is much better than the barrier. I don't feel any discomfort at all."
"In that case, I'll give you all the extra scales I have in the future." Shui Zhenzhen giggled.
"Okay! Then I'll make a reservation in advance."
"Bang!"
A slight explosion interrupted their conversation. Shui Zhenzhen's eyes darkened, and without saying a word, she pulled Ye Xin upwards.
"Zhenzhen, has he arrived yet?"
Ye Xin's face darkened slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Shui Zhenzhen's whole body tensed up, her face more serious than ever before. "Yes, it seems he'll be here sooner than I thought."
Ye Xin crossed her hands and pressed them together, making a "click, click" sound. "In that case, let's go! I can't wait any longer."
"Sister Ye, wait a moment."
She called out to Ye Xin, who was rubbing her hands in anticipation, and took two steps forward to block her. "Sister Ye, we agreed that I will deal with Lu Ao myself. If I can't handle him, you can take over."
Ye Xin's brows furrowed a little, "Are you really okay?"
Shui Zhenzhen took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I have no problem. Even if he is really powerful, I will definitely kill him myself."
"Okay, let's go up!"
Ye Xin hid the murderous intent in his eyes, released his hands and walked upwards.
Shui Zhenzhen kept cheering herself up in her heart along the way, repeatedly telling herself that he was no longer her savior, and that she must not show mercy when she took action.
Lu Ao was not far from them. When they were almost there, Ye Xin gave Shui Zhenzhen an encouraging look, "Zhenzhen, don't worry. If things really don't work out, I'm here for you!"
"I will, Sister Ye, just watch!"
Shui Zhenzhen felt a little warm in her heart. Getting to know Sister Ye was really the best decision she had made in the past sixteen years.
She swung her tail, creating a vortex of water that hit Lu Ao and the others who were fighting fiercely.
Lu Ao, who was standing in front of him, hadn't even let go of the giant axe when he sensed the danger approaching. His mind buzzed, and he instinctively threw the giant axe backward.
No one knew what was stuck on the giant axe, but it encountered no resistance in the water. It penetrated into the vortex, and its huge body directly dispersed it.
Shui Zhenzhen sighed inwardly. Lu Ao's reaction was as sharp as ever. Then, she pointed her hands, and a water shield suddenly formed in front of her.
The giant axe was blocked by the water shield, embedded in it, and wrapped in sea water.
Seeing this, the person opposite Lu Ao stepped on the stone next to him and rushed upwards for a long distance. After breaking out of the encirclement, he quickly made a hand gesture towards himself, and in a moment, he disappeared from the sight of the group.
Lu Ao accidentally let the fat sheep he had caught slip away. His expression froze at first, and then his anger was ignited.
"Who, get out."
He looked at the person who came with a fierce look. After seeing clearly, he paused and a flash of unprecedented panic appeared on his face.
"It's you! You're really lucky to be alive!"
Shui Zhenzhen listened to Lu Ao's mocking voice, and for some reason her heart suddenly felt sour.
"Why, are you surprised that I'm not dead?" She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and retorted sarcastically.
Lu Ao sneered and looked at her like she was trash.
"I'm a little surprised, but so what. You were lucky enough to escape, so why are you looking for me now? Revenge? With your fourth-level cultivation?"
Shui Zhenzhen gritted her teeth again and again, and was about to get angry, when she suddenly remembered something.
She suppressed her anger and said casually, "Stop talking nonsense and return my things, you damn thief."
Seeing Shui Zhenzhen's normal expression, Lu Ao was suddenly filled with shock. His illusions were not working on others. This was not a good sign!
He retracted the giant axe and assumed a fighting stance. "What do you mean by 'it's yours'? Once it's in my hands, it's mine. If you have the guts, take it back."
"It's just as she said. Your way of making excuses hasn't changed."
Shui Zhenzhen crossed her hands in front of her, holding a piece of white object at each end. She slowly pulled her hands apart, and a white silk appeared.
