Chu Xinxin stumbled and almost fell.
Shang Li helped her up: "Be careful."
The moment the bodies touched, Chu Xinxin had a sudden thought; the feeling Shang Li gave her was all too familiar.
Shang Li led her to a very elegant little wooden house and let Chu Xinxin stay there.
Normally, Chu Xinxin is not restricted in her activities except for leaving the main gate.
Shang Li and Chu Zheng were very busy; they were almost never seen.
Chu Xinxin was so bored that she even started making clothes for Shenyao.
Of course, it was very ugly, and Shenyao disliked it, but he had no other choice.
But no matter what I do, I can't extend this hand.
"Sorry, I was having so much fun sewing that I forgot this was a cuff."
Chu Xinxin used scissors to unsew the thread, and Shen Yao finally put on his new clothes.
"Hey, you know what, you actually look really good in it."
Chu Xin nodded in satisfaction.
“I don’t want black,” Shenyao said, pushing his luck. “It’s as repulsive as that black shark.”
"Alright, stop being picky. Know your place."
Chu Xinxin said that, but she still made another set of silver-white ones for Shenyao.
As Shen Yao watched Chu Xinxin stitching small clothes under the lamp, a strange emotion suddenly welled up inside him.
He couldn't explain it, but he felt inexplicably satisfied.
I wish it could stay like this forever...
The two lived and ate together. Because he had shrunk, Chu Xinxin took care of him in every way.
"Shenyao, when will you return to your original form?"
That evening, during their bedtime conversation, Chu Xinxin asked Shen Yao a question.
"I don't know."
Shenyao himself also found it strange. They had all come out of that strange place, so why hadn't he returned to his original state?
Chu Xinxin guessed, "Are we going back to the sea?"
"Maybe."
"Then I'll find a way to get you to take you home tomorrow..."
The volume of the last few words decreased, and Shen Yao turned his head to look; Chu Xinxin had fallen asleep.
When she's asleep, the corners of her mouth turn up slightly, as if she's dreaming of something particularly happy.
She always seemed happy, no matter what she encountered or what others did to her, she remained optimistic.
Like the sun in the sky, forever bright and dazzling.
Shenyao no longer considers her a star source at all.
Her name is...
"Chu Xinxin".
......
the next day.
Shang Li, whom we haven't seen for a long time, finally appeared.
"Xin Xin." Shang Li placed a round bead in Chu Xin Xin's hand. "This is a mermaid pearl. Keep it with you at all times."
The pearl feels slightly cool to the touch and emits a soft, shimmering glow; it's very beautiful.
Chu Xinxin felt her hand was burning hot: "Whose is it?"
Shang Li paused for a moment, then admitted, "Mine."
"Don't you want to live anymore?" Chu Xinxin said sharply.
Without the mermaid pearl, the merman is doomed.
“I was originally half-human and half-mermaid. Without the mermaid pearl, I am now human, just like you.”
Shang Li smiled and said, "Things might be a bit turbulent lately. In a critical moment, the mermaid pearl could save your life, so you must take good care of it."
"It's too expensive, I don't want it."
"Xin Xin, be a good girl."
Shang Li took her hand and pulled her into his arms: "Listen to me, I can't be distracted..."
Chu Xinxin's pupils contracted. She broke free from Shang Li, her expression somewhat excited: "Ayi, is that you?"
"I am Shang Li."
Shang Li raised his hand and touched her face: "Remember, I am Shang Li."
Chu Xinxin had a feeling that something was wrong with this person, but Shang Li wouldn't say no matter how she asked.
He simply gave her a gentle hug and then went outside.
Before leaving, seeing Shen Yao glaring at him with a dark expression, Shang Li chuckled and, taking advantage of Chu Xinxin's deep thoughts, stole a kiss from her.
Shenyao was indeed enraged: "You're asking for it!"
"You should restore your true form first."
......
"System, what exactly is happening outside?"
It seems that Shang Li set up an array near the cabin, so Chu Xinxin and Shen Yao couldn't detect anything outside.
Several spatial rifts have appeared outside; the demons have entered...
The demon race is powerful and resilient, making it difficult for any single race to withstand them.
Shang Li and Chu Zheng are contacting other races everywhere, hoping to temporarily put aside their grudges and fight against the demon race together.
"The existence of each world is stable, so how could it suddenly appear...?"
Chu Xinxin was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized, "Is it another system?"
[Yes, I've been gone for too long, and the systems under my control have gone out of control...]
Chu Ling separated from Chu Xinxin and transformed into a phantom in mid-air.
I can sense that there are at least five systems in this world, not including myself.
Chu Xinxin's eyes sharpened: "This world will collapse! Chu Lin, break Shang Li's formation, I need to get out!"
【elder sister.....】
Chu Ling looked at her with pity: "It's no use. Even if you go out and exhaust all your divine power, you still can't stop it..."
"It's none of your business. I'm getting out," Chu Xinxin said, enunciating each word clearly. "If this world collapses, we'll perish with it. Is that the outcome you want?"
Even though Chu Xinxin possesses a divine soul, divine essence, and divine artifact, she is currently in a mortal body and doesn't even have the terrifying superpowers of the post-apocalyptic world. She simply cannot unleash her full potential.
If this world were to collapse, she would have no way to escape.
Sister, I can agree to your request, but only if you bind someone to you for a matchmaking task.
"Where am I supposed to find it for you...? You mean Divine Radiance?"
I'll help you create the conditions for him...
Chu Ling stared intently at Chu Xinxin: "This time, you're not allowed to keep your favorability rating at 99. You swear an oath in the name of the divine artifact."
Chu Xinxin suppressed all emotions, her beautiful face now completely cold: "You know?"
Sister, you've regained some of your divine power, haven't you?
Chu Ling smiled wryly: "As expected of my sister, even with so much damage to her divine essence, she can still recover."
"What's the use of that? The body you found for me is completely useless."
Chu Xinxin noticed that Shenyao was about to return from soaking in the pool in the backyard, and she urged, "Let's bind ourselves. I swear on the divine artifact that I agree."
【good.】
Shen Yao and Chu Xinxin suddenly gained a new memory.
Long, long ago, they met at a matchmaking temple of the human race...
"System, your plot is so cliché..."
"Just make do, sis, it's good enough that you have it..."
As Chu Ling spoke, Chu Xinxin's task target was bound to Shen Yao.
Favorability rating: 80.
Chu Xinxin asked Chu Ling curiously, "Where is his Star Source?"
How should I know? Sister, you should ask him.
As soon as Chu Ling finished speaking, Shen Yao walked in: "The surrounding formations seem to be starting to dissipate."
"Then let's go."
Chu Xinxin placed Shenyao on her shoulder and walked out through the main door.
That mermaid pearl...
Chu Xin thought about it for a moment, then decided to bring it.
Shen Yao glanced at it a few times, and surprisingly refrained from making any sarcastic remarks.
"How come this bead lets light through...?"
No matter where Chu Xinxin hid, she could see the light emitted by the mermaid pearl.
"You can just eat it directly," Shenyao suggested.
"If you eat it... can you spit it out?" Chu Xinxin asked.
“What’s so difficult about that?” Shenyao demonstrated for her on the spot, spitting out his own mermaid pearl.
Chu Xinxin's eyes lit up, and she stuffed it in for him along with Shang Li's.
Please keep this for now!
