The Second Volume Chapter One (Part 1) Following a Stupid Insect

  A handsome face appeared and disappeared in the waves.

  "Water Six!" I involuntarily shouted, a white light flashing before my eyes, the water arrow pressing towards my abdomen, the chill piercing my skin and making it ache.

  The beauties can't save me in time, at the critical moment of life and death, I can only rely on myself!

  A charming dance pose flashed through my mind. I drew in my stomach, arched my back, and sprang up, my body unfolding like a soft leaf.

  The water arrow narrowly brushed past my belly and flew by. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat, Water Six郎's mouth opened again, and he sprayed several more water arrows at the beauties who came to rescue me, then his face sank, and he dove into the undulating sea water.

  "You little scamp, are you alright?" Haigi shattered the water arrow with a single palm strike and rushed over first.

  I exaggeratedly bent down and covered my stomach: "It hurts so much, can you help me rub it? As soon as you rub it, I won't hurt anymore."

  Hai Ji's face turned red as she scolded: "You can't change that oily mouth of yours!"

  I raised an eyebrow, but don't look at Haixi's stubborn personality, yet she's the easiest to blush. Ji Danmei stared at the sea, looked for a while, and said anxiously: "I didn't expect that Shui Liu Lang not only didn't die, but also followed us with his ghostly spirit. Last time, Gan Xianzi clearly seriously injured him, but after a few days, he actually became lively again."

  Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, then said: "The demonic power of Water Six is indeed strange. It seems that he won't give up until he gets the three treasures. During this time, we must be on high alert. Especially you, be extra careful." His gaze fell unintentionally on me.

  I still have lingering fears, this little devil is quite vicious, knowing that the persimmon chooses to pinch the soft one, only taking action against me. He must be thinking of catching me first and then threatening several beauties.

  On the vast sea surface, the twilight was overflowing, and Mizuki Rokurou seemed to be hiding under a certain wave, secretly peeking at us. I couldn't help but feel a chill.

  The girl suddenly beckoned me quietly.

  "What's going on? This is so mysterious?" I walked over with a smile.

  "Hey, you little scamp, don't be so reckless. The group of demons led by Mizuki is full of mysterious and sinister magic, our journey ahead will definitely be fraught with danger, aren't you afraid?"

  "I'm afraid there's no choice." I said lazily: "One knife if you stick your head out, one knife if you hide it too."

  The mermaid hesitated for a moment, then said: "Follow me." She pointed to the golden shell, and its sharp mouth slowly opened up like ripples spreading out, revealing a deep hole. She floated into the opening, and I curiously followed her in. Inside, the light was dazzling, with palaces, pavilions, and towers layered on top of each other, exquisitely beautiful, as if it were another world altogether. I exclaimed in amazement: "Mermaid, you really know how to indulge yourself!"

  The sea girl smiled brightly: "This golden shell was found by me in the Lingbao Heaven, and after being refined through the Jiaoyu technique, it can change at will. Here, no matter what is said or done, others will not know." She stretched out her hand and pointed, the shell mouth shrinking back, until it was completely closed, isolating the outside world.

  I smiled and said: "So that's how it is, hehe, are you thinking of telling me a secret?"

  Hai Ji glared at me: "You little scamp, your skills are too poor. If you continue like this, you'll end up dead sooner or later. Do you want to learn the Vein Scripture of the Jade Emperor?"

  I was taken aback: "You're willing to teach me? Isn't that against the rules of your Mysterious Sea Temple?"

  "Can't be bothered with that many things, anyway I'm the chief female martial goddess of this sect, they don't dare to do anything to me. I, I, I just can't sit back and watch you die!"

  I stared blankly at her, inside the golden snail shell, very quiet, so quiet that I could feel the tremble of Hai Ji's eyelashes.

  Still as my heart, in a daze, I seemed to return to that snowy dusk, Miss Wang placed a silver ingot in the palm of my hand. Snowflakes fluttered and blurred my eyes.

  Cold silver, icy hands, scorching tears that can never flow from my eyes.

  Sometimes, accepting someone's kindness is a kind of suffering. Because I don't know which day I will lose again. I would rather have nothing from the beginning.

  I turned away, evading Haki's sincere gaze, and smiled: "Don't joke around, what's this about Aikido? I'm not interested in learning it."

  "Really, if it's like what Ji Danmei said, the Demon Lord will be born, and even if the three of us join forces, we may not be able to ensure your safety. Shi Jiu Lang, Tu Ba Lang, Shui Liu Lang, someone who can make these powerful demons surrender must be extremely formidable. What will you do then?"

  Let the Master of the Temple of Sea know that you privately taught the technique of Jia Yu, what would you do? I stubbornly shook my head, turned around and said: "I've been practicing for days, I'm very tired, want to rest."

  "Haiji's voice was somewhat dissatisfied: 'How can you not recognize good intentions?'"

  "Yes, I've never been a likable person." I said lightly, suddenly realizing that my weak demonic powers had become a burden to the three beauties.

  The golden screw shook violently, I lost my balance and fell towards Haiji. She supported me, my lips coincidentally touched hers.

  Soft lips, like fragrant and sweet flower petals. Both of us were shocked, Hai Ji hurriedly pushed me away, her face flushed with red clouds, my heart racing wildly, involuntarily retreating backwards, my face burning hot, not daring to look at Hai Ji. In that instant, my mind was a complete blank.

  The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the mermaid's faint breathing.

  The golden screw started shaking violently. "It seems like something's going on outside." Hagi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. I finally came to my senses, and my first kiss just disappeared like that. But it's probably for the best; if I had kept it forever, that would have been unfortunate.

  When we got outside, on the sea, a storm was raging.

  In the inky blackness of the night sky, flashes of lightning streaked across, like twisted silver snakes, piercing into the roaring sea. The waves surged and rolled, the wild wind howled, as if several dozen meters high seawater was a gigantic sea beast, madly rushing towards us.

  The rain poured down in torrents. In the midst of the raging waves, Gan Ning stood calmly on the snowy lotus, unmoving and expressionless: "This storm has come somewhat strangely."

  "Maybe it's Mizutani who is behind this!"

  "Hai Ji let out a cold laugh: 'This coward who doesn't dare show his face only knows how to play some despicable tricks.'"

  Gan Ning suddenly let out a low shout, lightly patted the scabbard of his sword, and a streak of water shot towards me, brushing past my side and striking the surface of the sea. I hastily turned my head back, just in time to see Water Six's sinister smiling face disappear into the waves.

  Kaai immediately plunged into the sea. I secretly felt a shock, Mizuroku is following us, he's really like a tailing insect.

  After a while, Haiji jumped out of the sea and said with a hum: "He slipped away again."

  The storm grew more and more violent, with flashes of lightning and thunderclaps, huge waves rising and falling. The Golden Snail was suddenly tossed high into the air, then plummeted straight down. I wiped my face full of water, pointed ahead, and shouted: "Look quickly!"

  In the vast night rain, a faint green light appeared, drifting eerily like a ghost.

  A few green lights floated towards us, and upon closer inspection, I saw that they were some strange creatures carrying lanterns of a pale blue color, slowly floating by. At first glance, these creatures seemed to be beautiful women, but their lower bodies were those of fish, with huge tails covered in scales. Ji Danmei furrowed her brow: "They seem to be the mermaid tribe from the depths of the ocean; it looks like they're coming for us."

  Mermaids swam towards us, and the sea girl shouted: "Get out of here!" Her palm chopped down fiercely, a golden light flashed by, cutting one mermaid in half. The lantern in her hand fell into the sea, making a hissing sound, and a cluster of eerie green flames burst forth. The mermaids let out sharp wailing cries, quickly dispersing and swimming around us, but they didn't dare to get close again.

  "Kill them all, it's annoying to see them."

  When I heard the words of Ji Danmei, the mermaids fled one after another, and the lanterns retreated to a distance. There, I saw a dark island, silent and soundless, like a silent giant beast, lurking in the night.

  The blue light flickered on the island, like a giant beast blinking its eyes.

  The island seemed to have suddenly emerged from the sea. The three beauties looked at each other in dismay, I rubbed my eyes and exclaimed: "Strange, just now there was no such island." I knew something was wrong.

  "With such a heavy rain, we should take a break on the island." Gan Ning gazed at the sea island and said calmly: "The people on the island must also hope so."

  "Ha ha, they're in a hurry to go to the Yellow Springs Heaven to be reincarnated, how can we not help them fulfill their wish? Let's go ashore and see what kind of tricks Water Six is playing. If I'm right, Water Six's reinforcements have arrived."

  The mermaid nodded, and the golden shell rode the wind and waves, speeding towards the sea island.

  On the island, it's a slippery muddy beach, and in the distance, rugged rocks, dark woods, and the sea goddess puts away her golden shell, hiding it in her ear, and softly tells me: "Don't leave my side."

  "Don't worry, I'd rather die than leave." I said as I put on the treasure that Ouyang Yuan gave me.

  "Once the enemy appears, Gan Xianzi will engage in a frontal battle, I'll provide support, and Hai Ji will protect Xiao Se Lang. This time, we must catch them all at once."

  I patted my chest: "Now I also have a bit of magical power, and I won't be slaughtered by anyone!"

  Deep in the dark woods, a blue-green light suddenly lit up.

  Two beautiful mermaids floated out. "Honored guests, we are not worthy of the honor." The left mermaid said in a soft voice, and the right mermaid continued: "The wind is strong and the rain is heavy, the master has already prepared a banquet to calm your nerves, please follow me."

  The two mermaids' faces looked very similar, except that the one on the left had a small black mole at the corner of her mouth. I curiously asked: "Are you twins?"

  The mermaid on the left nodded: "Young master guessed correctly, I am elder sister big fish, and she is younger sister little fish."

  "Big fish and small fish? Are there any old fish and shrimp?"

  "The young master is really interesting to talk to." The big fish chuckled, but there was no smile on her face. Her pale face looked gloomy under the blue light. I found that although she looked youthful and beautiful, there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

  We followed the two mermaids, slowly walking into the forest, where there was a clean small path, paved with white gravel, winding deep inside. Along the road, white fog lingered, and strands condensed motionless in the night color. Faintly, I heard many mermaids sobbing. I couldn't help but shiver, feeling eerie.
