005. Coral
005
A few days after arriving at the bottom of the sea, just as Triton, the son of the sea god, said, Poseidon did not come to see me again.
But I guess the marriage between Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, did not become harmonious because of this. At least Triton's complexion has not improved during this period.
But I didn’t get much peace from this. On the contrary, nightmares always followed me. Once I fell asleep, those terrible “futures” would play in my mind over and over again.
I desperately wanted to escape this fate, but no matter how hard I tried, in the end I could only watch helplessly as I was hurt, cursed, and killed over and over again in despair...
It was a kind of helplessness that could numb people, and I felt like I was trapped in an endless muddy swamp, unable to ever get out of this hell.
Finally, I woke up from the nightmare again, gasping for breath.
It was only after a long time, when I felt my body light, tiny bubbles coming out of my mouth and nose, and I looked at the corals swaying gently with the water flow and the colorful fish passing by in the distance, that I realized where I was.
I suddenly realized that I was at the bottom of the sea a thousand meters below the ground. I had not been cursed, nor had I been killed painfully.
Even though Poseidon possessed me, compared to losing my life, at least... I am still alive.
But I couldn't help but wonder over and over again: who had allowed me to see my future? Was it my destiny, or was there a deeper reason?
As I was thinking, I saw a vague shadow swaying slightly in front of me out of the corner of my eye in the already dark seabed.
My heart skipped a beat, especially when I looked closely and found that the other party was an ugly monster. I was so scared that I immediately retreated into the clam shell and curled up.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The monster had a fish tail and snake hair, which swayed slightly with the flow of the water. There were several short fins on its arm joints, and it looked old and ugly.
Seeing me looking at it fearfully, it suddenly became excited, its dark eyes flickered, and it let out a wailing sound like a wail, "UUUUN."
"RUUUUUNNNN..."
It stretched out its hand and mumbled something, probably telling me to run away?
Seeing that I was wary and confused, it seemed to want to get closer to me eagerly——
"Your Excellency, Phorcys."
A familiar and low voice sounded not far away, and then a tall and majestic figure slowly walked out from the shadows.
It was Poseidon, the god of the sea. Although he expressed respect, his tone seemed to show that he did not take the other party seriously.
"Why are you here?"
The monster named Phorcys in front of me suddenly paused. It first looked at me with a complicated expression, but it quickly reacted and immediately turned its head and nodded to Poseidon, the god of the sea.
The ferocious expression on its face quickly calmed down, and instead it was filled with awe. It slowly said, "Respected Poseidon, God of the Sea, I, I just happened to be passing by here and was just taking a look. I'm leaving now."
I frowned, not understanding what was going on, especially since the monster acted as if it knew me. My intuition told me that things were not that simple.
However, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Triton failed to stop Poseidon, the god of the sea, and he appeared in front of me again just a few days later.
However, I actually already had a plan in mind, and this plan required me to get close to Poseidon, the god of the sea, as soon as possible.
Triton's obstruction was exactly what I wanted. With his "reminds in every possible way", Poseidon, the god of the sea, would definitely not forget me.
But when I thought about everything that happened that night, even though I had already made sufficient preparations in my heart, the unpredictable and powerful waves and tides of the ocean were something I could not withstand at all, and my heart was still filled with fear.
Poseidon only treats me as a toy for him to vent his emotions. Even if I break, he won't have to bear any consequences.
How can God be responsible for the life and death of ants?
But precisely because of God's contempt for ants, it is my best opportunity for revenge.
I will give Poseidon the most poisonous honey when he is happiest and most inflated. I will incite and provoke him, and encourage him to participate in the supreme game of power, and destroy himself in the greedy struggle for power.
He is such an ambitious God. I am just igniting the desire in his heart. Even if I am the candle that burns out, I am willing to do it.
All my emotions were hidden in my eyes. At this moment, I had made up my mind. Even if it brought more unbearable pain, I was willing to endure His storm for revenge.
However, to my surprise, Poseidon, the god of the sea, looked thoughtfully at the back of Phorcys as he left, and then began to look at me meaningfully.
It was the first time that He looked me up and down with such care, as if I had transformed from an insignificant ant into something of some weight.
If she were an ignorant and pure girl, she might drown in his deep blue pupils and be intoxicated by his grand and superior appearance. After all, who could resist such a handsome and brave god who ruled the entire ocean?
But I know His irritable, angry, and despicable nature, and I will not be fooled.
"So it seems that you are indeed charming and attractive. You even attracted the primordial sea god, who represents the wrath of the sea."
I curled up and just looked up at Him timidly.
I don't know if it was this glance that pleased Him, but He closed His sinister eyes, let His long dark blue eyelashes droop, and He suddenly chuckled. He easily picked me up from the clam, let the ocean current carry me, and finally took me to the thriving and colorful coral reef.
As if sensing my uncontrollable trembling, His thin lips whispered in my ear, and His rough hands moved up slowly and subtly, "Don't be afraid."
"You did a great job that day."
I sneered inwardly, but my limbs clung to His body with such frailty that I seemed even smaller than His towering figure. Even though I tried to suppress it, the venom of resentment in my heart kept boiling over. I couldn't help but sneer, "Oh? Really?"
"Why? You don't like it?"
The water was freezing cold, and I suddenly shuddered, sensing the unkindness in his tone.
I immediately lowered my head, blushing and hooking my arms around His neck. "How could that be?"
Just as I was about to lower my head to kiss this "great" god, I turned and saw Triton hurriedly stop not far away, as if to fulfill his previous promise to keep Poseidon away from me.
But when he saw that we were shamelessly entangled with each other, his expression was complicated, and for a moment he seemed to be unsure whether he should step forward or not.

Triton rushed over but he didn't expect to see such a scene. His majestic father was holding the petite and charming girl in front of him, and the romantic colorful corals and agile fish seemed to be celebrating their upcoming union.
The anger in his heart was rekindled, for his mother who was waiting for his father in the palace, and even more for the poor girl who was innocently involved.
Perhaps she was aware of her own existence, and Medusa began to struggle violently. While struggling, she looked at herself anxiously and reminded her father of her arrival.
But his father Poseidon just glanced at him coldly, and then Triton only saw the corners of His lips curled up, and white water suddenly rushed towards him. He was knocked back repeatedly by this surging force, and even somersaulted several times in the water.
Faced with the powerful strength of his father, the god of the sea, Triton was able to stabilize his body only after crashing into a pillar of an underwater building. However, when he tried to track his father's figure again, he could no longer see anything.
Triton didn't know what was wrong with him. He pursed his lips tightly and was extremely anxious. Today he was determined to find a way to stop his father.
…
Finally, he wandered aimlessly past an ancient shipwreck sunk to the bottom of the sea, but his originally free movements were paused by tiny, hidden sounds and slight vibrations.
This is a very large ship, but it is also very old. It is generally difficult to care about such a broken ship. He knows his father very well. It is unlikely that the arrogant and conceited sea god is willing to condescend to go to such a place.
However, Triton had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Perhaps, even the all-seeking sea god would find it hard to resist such a perfect and pure girl like Medusa.
Thinking of this, he quickly swam into the cabin of the big ship, eager to save the innocent girl from the water.
Terry searched room by room, but although he found nothing, the familiar voice became clearer and clearer.
He slowly stopped, his weak and painful voice trembling, and Triton's fists clenched continuously.
But at this moment his blind courage had already been exhausted.
What's more, he didn't dare to look, let alone admit his fear, although he didn't understand what he was afraid of, and he didn't understand with what identity he should push open this door.
Triton stood numbly outside the door for a long, long time, so long that he guessed his father must not have had such a good time in a long time...Then the door slowly opened.
Poseidon, feeling satisfied and happy, glanced at his dejected son. He was omniscient and omnipotent in the sea, so he naturally knew what stupid thing Triton had done.
Poseidon initially only regarded Medusa as a toy to anger Athena. Even though she was indeed beautiful, who would really take a toy seriously?
Until He suddenly discovered that Medusa was not really just a lowly ant worth using, but was also quite intelligent and scheming. In just a few days, she seduced his son and used Triton's obstruction to make him obsessed with her and worried about her.
Therefore, Poseidon could not help but develop a deeper interest in this beautiful descendant of the original sea god. Although he did not know why she was so weak and had a mortal body that would die, she seemed a bit more mysterious.
Even if it was his own son, he still felt unhappy that something that belonged to him was coveted.
He stared at Triton gloomily, and seeing the look of loss and disappointment on his handsome and gentle face, he sneered and patted his face mercilessly, "My infatuated Triton, remember to take good care of his lover for your father."
