Chapter 77: Xichong is Saved
Xichong is saved.
"No, no." Baini pursed his lips, a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes, "That's not what I meant either."
"I don't have that much deep-seated hatred for him."
"If you want to save him, then save him." Baini stopped being difficult; hearing Sheng say that she wouldn't go if he minded, the little orca felt sweet inside, his entire orca self bubbling with happiness.
Naturally, he also felt two parts more pity for the beastman.
Forget it, they are already living so miserably.
I won't hold it against them.
"But, you have to take me with you." A glimmer of light flashed in his round black eyes, and Baini said earnestly, "Who knows if they are truly wanting you to help."
"What if this is a trap, intended to lure you over and harm you?"
"But if you take me with you, you won't have these concerns."
"No trap can harm me, I am a Seventh-tier Beastman after all!"
Baini proudly lifted his chin, his expression triumphant.
A warm current flooded her heart, and Chaosheng smiled and agreed, "Alright."
Outside the cave.
"Why hasn't she come out yet? Could it be..." She went back on her word?
Rusui craned her neck, looking anxiously into the pitch-black cave.
"If Sheng is willing to save him, she will; if she isn't, she won't."
"You..." Rusui felt short of breath for a moment; she remembered Xizhi saying that this ice-snow bear beastman had a very gentle temper, didn't she?
Why is he like someone having a Spiritual Sea Riot today, his mouth more venomous than a sea snake.
Chaosheng brought Baini out, a faint smile on her face, "Let's go."
The dawn's light pierced the seawater, the ice-blue water rippling with light, and the breathtakingly beautiful mermaids swam freely, carving out a beautiful wavy line.
Getting closer and closer, one could already hear the faint cries of the beastman.
Judging from this aura, if they were any slower, Xichong would likely be dead.
"Achong!"
Upon arriving at the location, Rusui sped up her movements in a panic, swimming toward the direction where the whale shark had collapsed.
She looked sadly at the dying giant sea beast, "Achong, are you alright?"
"Can you hear me speaking?"
"Hold on a little longer, we are about to be saved."
The whale shark no longer had the strength to respond to her, slightly shaking his tail fin to answer.
A pair of eyes stared blankly at her, as if wanting to remember his lover at the final moment.
The other Whale Shark Beastmen saw Chaosheng, Yinxu, and Baini, and their expressions instantly turned hostile, except for one beastman, a beastman whose entire face was covered by his hair.
Through that black and wrinkled skin, Chaosheng recognized his identity at a glance: Xihang.
At this very moment, he stood with his back to Chaosheng, standing stiffly, not daring to turn around to look at her at all.
All the remaining beastmen looked at them vigilantly, as if they were about to make a move on them in the next step.
They hadn't forgotten that it was this damned Mermaid Female who told other beastmen the location of the Sea Spirit Ginseng.
It was she who caused their Whale Shark Tribe to be so miserable!
Now, she actually dared to come?!
"Are you trying to fight me?" Chaosheng raised an eyebrow, looking at them amusedly, "Do you need me to introduce them to you?"
"My two beast husbands, one is Seventh Tier, one is Sixth Tier."
"As for me, what tier do you think I should be?"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding hostile Whale Shark Beastmen instantly trembled in fear.
That is to say, the female before them possessed a Sixth-tier Ability and a Seventh-tier Ability, then... then how powerful must she be?!
They couldn't imagine it.
They thought the most powerful Clan Leader Xizhi was only Fifth Rank at her peak.
The Whale Shark Elder scanned these useless tribesmen viciously, "Good for nothing!"
"Heh!" Chaosheng chuckled, "Are you good for something?"
"Do you want to challenge me?"
"I..." The Whale Shark Elder stiffened his neck, then shrank to the side, admitting defeat.
The secret to his longevity was knowing when to yield.
"Quick, quick! Come and take a look at Achong!"
"He seems to be failing!"
Rusui's panicked voice, laced with tears, reached her ears, and Chaosheng didn't delay any further, "Coming."
Looking at the giant whale shark before her, a trace of trance flashed in Chaosheng's eyes; it seemed Xizhi's beast form was also like this.
The whale shark's life force was already gradually fading, his eyes dim and lifeless as if dead, and he couldn't even shake his tail fin now.
"Achong, please hold on a little longer, okay?"
"Very soon, you will be fine."
Chaosheng extended her fingertip, and a wisp of purple Witch Power probed into Xichong's body.
The Witch Power bounced around until it found the heavily polluted Mental Sea, happily cleaning up the Black Filth harming the beast.
Rusui held her breath unconsciously, her eyes fixed on Chaosheng's movements without blinking.
She felt both expectant and nervous inside.
Achong will wake up, won't he?!
After a long while, Chaosheng finally withdrew her Witch Power, which had become much more abundant, and a satisfied smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
"Ah..."
The Whale Shark lying on his back let out a gentle, relieved sigh, and Rusui looked at him in pleasant surprise, "Achong, how are you feeling?!"
"Are you better?"
Xichong slowly regained his senses, feeling his Mental Sea, which was now completely at ease, and his eyes were filled with astonishment, "I didn't die?!"
"I actually didn't die?!"
He could feel that this time he had been incredibly close to death; he had been just one step away from going to see his sister.
Yet, he hadn't died?!
"Mm." Rusui shed tears of excitement, looking at the revived Xichong in joyful surprise, "Mm, yes, you didn't die."
"Achong, from now on, we must both live well..."
Rusui wept hot tears, unable to help herself as she hugged Xichong, hugging the lover she had almost lost.
Unfortunately, happiness was fleeting; the next second, Chaosheng's voice rang out, shattering their beautiful atmosphere.
"Our business isn't finished yet." Chaosheng looked at them indifferently, a faint smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
Knowing what Chaosheng was talking about, the smile on Rusui's face froze, and her eyes drifted downward.
"What business isn't finished?!" Xichong's cold, arrogant eyes were full of confusion as he looked at his Mate, "Mate, what is she talking about?"
"How did they get here?"
Xichong looked at Baini behind Chaosheng, his gaze unfriendly.
He had heard that this guy was already Seventh Tier; the gap between them was growing ever wider.
"I..." Rusui's mouth opened and closed, but she truly lacked the courage to say it.
Achong's greatest pride was his ability; had she been too selfish to make such a decision for him?!
"If she can't say it, then I'll say it for her." Chaosheng kindly suggested, her smile malicious, "As for you, I was the one who saved you."
"And I didn't save you for nothing."
"After all, we are enemies, aren't we?"
"So, the condition for me saving you is that the two of you must leave the Whale Shark Tribe and from now on only live as a Wandering Orc."
"Furthermore, I am going to cripple your ability."
"What?!" Xichong was stunned in disbelief for a moment, then looked at Rusui, who was bowing her head and not daring to meet his gaze, and asked her with difficulty for confirmation, "Mate, is what she said true?"
