Chapter 210 Mermaid Reef 10
Gu Feng's bloodshot eyes were fixed on Ye Xi'an. The next second, he pouted and was about to kiss Ye Xi'an's lips. He was like a ferocious beast out of control, with astonishing strength. Ji Jiangci couldn't pull him away even if he tried.

You can't abandon me!

Gu Feng's voice was hoarse, and his body carried the burning heat of someone who had just escaped a nightmare, mixed with the coldness of the deep sea, rushing straight to Ye Xi'an's face.

His target was her lips, driven by an irresistible madness and possessiveness.

Ye Xi'an's purple pupils suddenly contracted, but there was no panic in them, only a cold calm.

Her movements were incredibly fast.

A slender hand shot out like lightning, precisely gripping Gu Feng's neck.

The warm touch of her fingertips contrasted sharply with the burning heat on Gu Feng's skin.

With a slight exertion of his arm, Ye Xi'an froze Gu Feng, who was like a mad bull, in mid-air. Then, he felt an irresistible force coming through him, and his body was uncontrollably flung away.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, he crashed into the coral reef wall beside him, kicking up a cloud of fine white sand that drifted in the seawater before slowly landing.

Seawater rushed into his mouth and nose, choking him and causing him to cough violently.

The pain of the impact and the icy seawater instantly extinguished the madness in his eyes.

Gu Feng slowly propped himself up and sat up, his face still showing a bewildered expression as if he didn't know what had happened.

Ye Xi'an floated in the water and drifted slowly across, her posture showing no sign of disarray. Her long purple hair swayed gently in the water, every strand of hair clearly visible.

"Awake?"

Gu Feng's eyes cleared the moment he saw Ye Xi'an, and he quickly nodded, "You're awake."

"What were you dreaming about?"

Her voice was very soft, yet exceptionally clear in the quiet underwater cave, calm and undisturbed.

Gu Feng awkwardly raised his head and met Ye Xi'an's probing gaze. Faced with Ye Xi'an's calm demeanor, he panicked.

What did you dream about?
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

That nightmare was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly cruel.

In his dream, he finally married Ye Xi'an, joined her family, and was the first to have a cub with her. However, the cub also had horns on its head.

Ye Xi'an disliked the cub and expelled him from the family along with him.

He remembered humbly begging, and even at the end of the dream, he personally plucked off his own horn, bleeding profusely, just to beg her not to abandon him and his son.

A violent shiver ran through my soul.

Gu Feng subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead.

Those two hard, slightly warm unicorn horns still stood there intact.

Even now, he still wants to pull those horns off.

The recollection ended, followed by an overwhelming sense of shame.

He actually dared to fantasize that Ye Xi'an was pregnant with his child? Did Yi Yang give him the guts to do that?

Gu Feng abruptly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Xi'an again. Steam rose from the dim horn pattern, making the surrounding seawater bubble.

Ye Xi looked at him quietly, her cat-like eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.

The slight trembling of his fingers, his evasive gaze, and the way he protected his horns were all clearly reflected in her eyes.

She didn't ask.

Some pain is not meant to be repeatedly mentioned.

"If you don't want to say it, then you don't have to." She turned to look at Gu Feng: "By the way, Gu Feng, do you have mermaid tears in your mouth?"

Only after Ye Xi'an said that did Gu Feng notice what was in his mouth. He subconsciously spat it out and was about to show it to Ye Xi'an when seawater rushed into his mouth and nose. Fortunately, Ye Xi'an was quick and snatched the tears back into his mouth.

Once he returned to normal, Gu Feng was too ashamed to look up. He had almost drowned himself! What a disgrace to masculinity!

Ye Xi'an recalled the size of the tear from earlier and said, "Your tears are almost gone. It will probably be three hours in about ten minutes, so you should go up first."

Gu Feng immediately replied, "And what about you?"

"We still need to find the Heart of the Ocean."

Gu Feng stared at Ye Xi'an with some sadness, but he knew he had to leave: "Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

After Gu Feng left, Ye Xi'an was finally able to get some serious business done.

She turned toward the dark and vast mermaid's lair.

"The Heart of the Ocean has been shaped like a coral, but with so many corals, which one is the Heart of the Ocean?"

She seemed to be talking to herself, yet also to Ji Jiangci.

"Should we split up, or..."

"I'm with you."

Ji Jiangci's voice was low, but with an undeniable firmness as he pulled Ye Xi'an aside and said, "I have to protect you!"

Ye Xi'an raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of teasing in her voice: "You're going to protect me? Then let's split up and search for me."

Ji Jiangci was taken aback, realizing the difference between himself and Ye Xi'an, and immediately changed his words: "But I'm scared, I want my wife to protect me."

Ye Xi'an closed her eyes in enjoyment; this was exactly what she wanted to hear.

"go!"

She complied.

After Ye Xi'an finished speaking, he took the lead and swam towards an unexplored, deep cave entrance inside the stone pillar.

Her figure moved with incredible agility in the water, and her purple silhouette quickly blended into the darkness ahead.

The quest to find the Heart of the Ocean has officially begun.

While carefully searching for corals that might be the Heart of the Ocean, Ye Xi'an also took note of the peculiar underwater environment around him.

The deep sea here is a world completely different from the land, full of the unknown and the strange.

The minerals embedded in the cave walls emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the waters ahead.

She soon noticed a peculiar patch of algae clinging to the rock. It was completely transparent, yet inside it were countless tiny points of light flickering, like stars in the night sky.

Ye Xi'an deftly collected some samples and carefully placed them into her spatial storage, thinking that maybe she could actually create a small ocean and raise some seafood when she got back.

She paused, a bold idea forming in her mind. Ji Jiangci noticed Ye Xi'an's strange behavior, threw away the real coral in his hand, and swam to Ye Xi'an's side: "What's wrong?"

"Jiang Ci, do you think I could create an ocean in a small world? After all, 99% of the planet Mermaid Reef is ocean, so creating a small ocean in a small world should be manageable, right?"

Ji Jiangci's eyes lit up: "I think it's a good idea!"

"Then let's find a secluded place with more plants and animals, so as not to damage their nests."

After discussing it, the two returned along the same route the Mermaid King had led them to. They eventually found a coral reef very close to the surface of the sea. The seabed there was densely covered with plants, and countless strange animals roamed among them.

"Jiang Ci, keep an eye out for me, and remind me if anyone comes to resign!"

"Okay, go ahead and do it."

Ye Xi'an took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and searched the small world for a while before finally fixing his gaze on a canyon.
