“You’re very clever. You guessed why I took you to the shipwreck, but you didn’t ask. Those beads are actually the hearts of mermaids left behind after generations of them died. I didn’t tell you that, but you willingly ate the hearts of mermaids as I asked. I admit that I was a bit despicable and used you. But I don’t regret it.”
"Thank you for your companionship over the years. You have made me feel less lonely and made me realize that living is an extremely beautiful thing."
“Living too long isn’t good either. I’m so tired, I want to rest, but I can’t stop worrying about you.”
"Ji Yuan, you are my lifelong wish, and you are my only attachment. From now on, forget me. Don't remember anything about me anymore. I hope you can live a carefree life forever. I'm sorry, I love you!"
After the siren finished speaking, she spread her five fingers, reached into her own chest, and pulled out a fresh, throbbing heart.
Xiang Wan's tears flowed like a burst dam, blurring her vision and obscuring the entire world. But she couldn't move; the slightest misstep would result in the water tiger devouring her spiritual energy, turning her into a ghost beneath the water.
The siren held the mermaid's heart in both hands, watching it gradually transform into a crystal-clear bead. Trembling, she stuffed it into Xiang Wan's mouth.
The mermaid's heart melted instantly upon entering her mouth. Then, a powerful force broke free of its restraints, erupting from the depths of her heart and instantly repelling and shattering the water tiger's spiritual energy. The man, obsessed with dominating the ocean, coughed up blood and fell into a coma.
Turning her head, she saw the siren peacefully holding Ji Yuan as they slowly sank into the sea. Overwhelmed by grief, Xiang Wan was completely engulfed.
Siren held Ji Yuan tightly in her arms, her eyes wide open, staring at Xiang Wan as if she could never get enough of looking at her.
Xiang Wan watched as his eyes gradually lost their light, slowly sinking into the sea and fading into darkness.
Her heart ached as if gripped by a giant hand, both intensely and numbly. The pain reached its peak, and a cool sensation gradually spread from the top of her head throughout her body; something was slowly leaving her.
She tried desperately to hold on, but to no avail.
When Xiang Wan looked at Shui Hu again, her eyes were completely devoid of emotion. Her entire body, from head to toe, had turned a pure white. Her eyes were devoid of any feeling. Yet, in her heart, she still remembered that she could not let Shui Hu go.
Xiang Wan took a bead from her hair and put it into Shui Hu's mouth.
The memories remained, but she no longer felt any affection for the sirens or any other living beings; only pity remained.
With a wave of her hand, Xiang Wan froze the entire sea area into ice. The monster Master, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was frozen into an ice sculpture by Xiang Wan, standing forever in the center of the ocean.
Swimming back to the seabed, Xiang Wan saw that Ugly Eight was on the verge of death. She pointed at it and restored it to its original state. She also reattached the manta ray's bitten-off tail. And the old clam, its shell completely shattered, was restored to its original state by Xiang Wan.
While swimming in the sea and rescuing dying marine creatures, Xiang Wan felt no more turmoil.
When she heard the sea dragon's call, she came to the bay and saw that Long Yue was now covered in scales and had become a walking fish-man.
Xiang Wan used an ice chain to drag him into the sea, binding him to the water tiger that had transformed into a mermaid, for all eternity.
After wandering in the sea for many years, Xiang Wan always felt that she had forgotten something, and when she turned her head, she always felt that there should be a figure beside her.
What is it?
Xiang Wan searched for many years without finding an answer, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Later, humans signed an agreement with the sea monsters, opening the sea to them at regular intervals for fishing, while also requiring them to rescue stranded fish to the best of their ability.
Xiang Wan traveled alone to every corner of the ocean, and also connected the sea monsters, forming the Sea Monster Alliance, with Gududu as their leader.
When she died peacefully in her sleep, several hundred years had passed. Only at the moment of her death did she remember everything she had forgotten, and that the system still existed in her mind.
When her soul left her body, Xiang Wan was in tears.
The Sirens gave her power with their lives, and also made her forget everything that had happened, so that she could complete her mission in peace.
But he didn't know that the mark left on her soul could never be erased.
