"You had many opportunities to make a move along the way, so why did you hesitate for so long?" Zu An looked at her curiously. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite at this moment.
"You did help me just now, and touching me was unintentional. If I were to harm you, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?" the woman sighed.
Zuan's expression was somewhat strange: "Just because I touched your body, you want to take my life? Come to think of it, you were the one who took the initiative just now, and strictly speaking, I should be the one who suffered more."
A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across the woman's brows: "What do you know! I..."
She seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't: "Fine, it's better that you don't know. Knowing would only bring trouble upon yourself."
"Your identity is quite special. By the way, what exactly is your background, you manta ray spirit?" Zu'an asked curiously.
"A manta ray spirit?" The woman's eyes widened. "You're the manta ray spirit!"
“You have a needle, right? I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, and it seems that the only thing in the ocean that can be associated with a poisonous needle is the manta ray,” Zaun replied.
“Who said there are only manta rays? There are many kinds of sea creatures, and many of them have poisonous needles…” The woman stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence. “That’s not the point. I’m not some manta ray spirit. Alright, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye forever.”
“Hey, you can’t leave.” Zu’an grabbed her hand.
The woman's eyes widened: "You touched me again?"
“Touching it won’t hurt you,” Zuan said irritably. “You still haven’t told me where the Elixir of Immortality is.”
The woman's expression suddenly turned serious: "Where did you hear this name from, and why are you looking for it?"
"Don't worry about that, I have my own uses." Zu'an certainly couldn't go around shouting that he was going to save his beloved, who knows if someone would use that as leverage.
"Whatever your reasons, I can only advise you to give up; you can't have it." The woman shook her head.
"Why?" Zuan was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
“Because…” The woman hesitated for a moment, about to answer, when suddenly her expression changed. She saw a group of people approaching from a distance, and in a few leaps, they had surrounded the two of them.
Zuan initially thought that he had just taken out a Heavenly Rank Yuan Stone in the restaurant, which "showed off his wealth" and aroused the greed of the patrons, who then wanted to find a secluded place to kill and rob him.
He was still a little confused. Were those guys blind? They had just seen what happened to that manatee strongman, yet they still dared to come over.
However, they quickly recognized the guys surrounding them: blue-faced, fanged, and with red hair. They were the same sea patrol yakshas from before.
Wait, something's not right.
He noticed that these sea patrol yakshas were faintly surrounded by a black aura, which was clearly different from the ones he had just seen.
Zu An frowned; he felt a sense of déjà vu about this aura.
At this moment, the woman's expression changed drastically. She pushed Zu An aside and ran off in another direction.
Watching her retreating figure, Zu An couldn't help but chuckle. This woman was kind-hearted, afraid of getting involved with him.
At this moment, the patrolling sea demons moved with incredible speed and quickly blocked the woman's path: "You can't escape now, surrender!"
Their voices were far more unpleasant than those of the sea patrol yakshas in the restaurant; they sounded like demons from hell, giving one a sense of unease.
