"Little Bubble, what exactly are you trying to do?"
The giant octopus was very curious, so it slightly lowered its tentacles to allow its eyes to see into the evening.
Xiang Wan reached out and made a shushing gesture over her mouth.
"Glug glug, I'm about to transform. This might attract countless sharks, so you have to protect me. I'll bring you delicious food later, okay?"
Xiang Wan's voice was very soft, almost as if she were speaking right next to the giant octopus.
She was so careful, as if afraid of being overheard. The giant octopus was inexplicably excited; this secret, shared only between it and Little Bubble, gave it a great sense of accomplishment, indicating that it held a special place in Little Bubble's heart.
The giant octopus glanced at the sleeping clam and the siren trapped inside its shell, and felt immense satisfaction. Previously, it had been jealous that Little Bubble only played with the siren, but now, Little Bubble finally saw its worth, and who would dare to mock it now!
"Shh, little bubble, don't worry, even if all my tentacles are bitten off, I won't let anything happen to you."

The pain made Xiang Wan forget where she was and where she was. She only knew that if she didn't faint, she would probably hurt herself.
With her last shred of reason, Xiang Wan decisively knocked herself unconscious.
The moment she fainted, the Siren, who had been pretending to be asleep, woke up. Looking at Xiang Wan's bloodied and mangled body, he felt regret for the first time.
However, once the transformation begins, it will not stop. What he needs to do is to let her complete this process undisturbed.
The old clam opened its shell and spat out the siren, while simultaneously taking over the responsibility from the giant octopus and taking Xiang Wan into its shell.
Outside the clam shell, the real battle is quietly approaching.
