Chapter 1606: The Second Family Rule
The poisonous sh.e.l.lfish king sank into the soil of the seabed, then the soil instantly had a strange transformation that could be seen with the naked eye. Firstly, its color became as dark as ink, then the corals and seaweed wilted, as though they had been sucked dry of their lives, and were taken in by the black soil, like they had entered a quicksand.
The fishes that could not escape in time immediately flipped upside down and were swallowed by the soil.
Gu Mengmeng realized that this was no longer soil, this had become an underwater quicksand.
Previously, when she was retrieving the Kiss of the Ocean, little s.h.i.+t had been the one carrying her to swim across it.
Now that she thinks about it, if the person who had accompanied her that time was not little s.h.i.+t, no one could have possibly survived this poison.
Even Snake might not be able to do it.
Hah, was he suffering the retribution a thousand years after the sin that he committed himself?
She did not forget about it. That time, little s.h.i.+t’s skin had almost completely been rotten because of the poisonous fog. His wounds were so deep that even his bones could be seen.
Then now, the person who has committed the sin is her. Does it mean that a thousand years later, she would be the one guarding and sending the next Messenger of the Beast Deity to retrieve this Kiss of the Ocean?
Without Snake’s Tear of the Beast Deity, she no longer had a body that was immune to poison. By that time… she would probably die here, right?
Wouldn’t it be ridiculous for the almighty Beast Deity to die because of the poison of Kiss of the Ocean?
Elvis tightened his hands around Gu Mengmeng’s waist and kissed her little hands. He hugged her in his arms and whispered softly, “Now that it has come to this, there’s no point being upset. Fei Rui is a courageous male beast and we all won’t forget him.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and leaned slightly on Elvis’ chest, replying, “I am here to make arrangements for the Kiss of the Ocean, but I never expected this outcome. I thought that it would be fine so long as no one swears to me, but… Besides a swear, I did not know that even a legend could cost a life. In the future, I don’t want to listen to any legends, don’t let anyone tell me.”
Elvis laughed softly and seemed to feel helpless.
In the Beast World, the life of a male beast had always been this unimportant. Not just the self-sacrifice made by Fei Rui, there were many other male beasts who had died for no reason so as to amuse their female partners. Without mentioning distant examples, think about how many male beasts had died because of Nina? When did anyone feel sad for them?
The males in the Beast World were aggressive and fond of fighting. There would be countless of them dying every day. Competing for food, with only the sole winner enjoying it all – this is the way of living in the Beast World, and also its rule. No one would shed a tear for the weak, there would even be fewer people who would remember the males who had died because they were not strong enough.
Only Gu Mengmeng would regard a male beast’s life so highly.
He loved her kindness, yet he also felt pained.
Sighing, Elvis lightly patted Gu Mengmeng’s back and said, “Alright, our family’s second rule is that no one can share any legend. If anyone mentions the word ‘legend’ before you, I will bite them to death, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to laugh, but she could not. Looking at the poisonous sh.e.l.lfish king and the surroundings sinking deeper into the quicksand, just like what she had witnessed when she had retrieved the Kiss of the Ocean, she shook her head and said, “Let’s go. This place… would become very dangerous later on.”
“Okay.” Without any objections, Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and shot Carter a meaningful glance. All of them immediately turned around and swam towards the huge bubble that Melinda had prepared for Gu Mengmeng.
Only Gu Mengmeng and Melinda continued to look back at the abyss swallowed by darkness. They knew that there was a very pure young man there. He had the clearest eyes and the warmest smile, but from that day onwards, he would be guarding the pearl in the darkness alone for a thousand years…
