Chapter 395 A kiss is necessary. Only on the lips.
Jiang Xinli frowned, her expression becoming more serious. "Xueyin, you shouldn't talk about yourself like that."

Her gaze was sincere, and her tone gentle, “You are kind, brave, upright, and sincere to others.”

“In the entire deep sea, there is no better sea creature male than you. As for that place—” she looked at the diamond ornament set in his fishtail, “it’s a beautiful moon, isn’t it?”

Just for the fact that Xueyin saved her, he deserves to be ranked No. 1 among males of the sea tribe.

Of course, Lancer is actually not bad either.

However, she is not as innocent and pure as Xueyin.

“As for this—” she looked at the broken mermaid heart scale in the crystal pendant in his hand, “it’s like a petal, a rare and beautiful champagne gold petal.”

“Miss Xinli.” The handsome young man’s fingers twitched slightly, and his eyes reddened.

A faint glimmer appeared in her beautiful, now dim, phoenix eyes. "So, you don't mind?"

"Yes, I don't mind at all, and in fact, I like it very much," Jiang Xinli said sincerely.

The boy's champagne-gold eyes shone brightly. "So, you mean you accept it!"

Jiang Xinli choked, “.”

Looking into the boy's hopeful eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then extended her forehead. "Mm."

The texture of the aquamarine is warm and cool to the touch.

Only after holding it in my hand did I realize that there was a clear, light blue liquid inside.

That heart scale, like a flower petal, floated gracefully inside.

Jiang Xinli smiled and said, "Xueyin, thank you for this gift. I will definitely keep it safe."

“Miss Xinli, it’s just an ordinary gift, there’s no need to keep it so carefully.” The boy said thoughtfully, “I just hope it can help you in the future.”

"What does that mean?" Jiang Xinli quickly recalled the role of the mermaid's heart scale in the movies and TV dramas she had watched before.

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a solution.

"It's nothing." The boy shook his head and smiled. "Let's go, Miss Xinli."

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli carefully put the forehead chain containing the heart scale into her spatial ring and stood up.

"Let's go, I'll see you out." Xueyin returned to human form and stretched out her hand. "Give me your hand."

"..." Jiang Xinli was puzzled.

Xueyin explained, "There is a barrier inside the Holy Tomb. It seems like there is only one path, but in fact, the way out is the way we came, but it is not the way we came."

Jiang Xinli frowned. "What do you mean? Are you trapped in a maze?"

Xueyin didn't know what "ghost wall" meant, but she said, "You can think of it as a kind of spatial folding, or parallel space."

"And the parallel space to return to can only be identified and opened by specific people. Others, even if they find a way to enter, will be trapped here and eventually become His nourishment and food."

Jiang Xinli paused slightly, then lowered her voice, "The 'He' you're talking about, is it the 'He' of gods?"

Xueyin replied, "Yes."

Jiang Xinli tentatively asked, "Dragon?"

Xueyin was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Have you seen Him?" he asked.

"Ah."

He suddenly understood why only she could see him.

She is a unique being in the world, a special being from the legends of the sea creatures.

But this also means that even if she dies, she does not belong to Ocean Star.

She couldn't possibly stay on Ocean Star.

Of course, he both hoped and did not want her to stay on Ocean Star forever.

Jiang Xinli asked, "Why is He inside the sacred tree?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know about that." Xueyin frowned. "Miss Xinli, let's go."

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli raised her hand and placed it in his palm.

He took her hand and began walking along the crystal path outwards. "I'm sorry, I can only take you to the barrier. The deep-sea contaminated area is dangerous, you must be careful." Jiang Xinli chuckled awkwardly, "It's alright, my beast husband is waiting for me outside."

"Okay," the boy replied casually.

She seemed neither surprised nor interested in the fact that her beastly husband was waiting for her outside.

"Xueyin, thank you for being so good to me," Jiang Xinli said sincerely.

“That’s only right.” The boy paused, looking down at her. “After all, you are my only friend in this world.”

Jiang Xinli was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at him.

A tall, slender, and handsome young man with a small mole on the tip of his nose.

This added a touch of asceticism to his whole being, as well as a sense of broken beauty.

Jiang Xinli's eyes were slightly startled.

She was a little confused.

Being trusted so much by a male sea creature she had just met should have filled her with immense joy.

But why can't she feel happy or excited?

I felt strange inside, and a kind of indescribable sadness.

Xueyin must be carrying many secrets that she doesn't know.
As the girl looked up at him with a pitying expression, the inferiority complex in the boy's heart struggled to surface. "What's wrong, Miss Xinli?"

Jiang Xinli pursed her lips, and for some reason, she remembered what Yun Bo had told her. "I have a question. If a land creature has been kissed by a mermaid, will it really no longer be afraid of water?"

The boy's thin, pale face suddenly flushed red. "...It seems so."

“However, it has to be a kiss.” His eyes flickered slightly, and he felt his throat go dry. “...Only both of our lips.”

Seeing his shy and bashful appearance, Jiang Xinli didn't ask the remaining question about whether a kiss could break the mermaid curse.

She thought for a moment, then changed the question, "Did Yunbo make you do this?"

"Your Highness Yunbo?" Xueyin looked confused for a moment. "Miss Xinli, I don't understand what you're talking about."

The two had reached the edge of the barrier.

He stopped and silently calculated the time. "Miss Xinli, this is the best I can do for you."

"Okay, then will I be able to meet you here again?" Jiang Xinli asked tentatively.

The boy glanced at her water-repelling pearl. "It shouldn't be like that anymore. The barrier here should be adjusted. Besides, if I'm not inside next time you come, you'll be in great danger."

Jiang Xinli: "Danger?"

Xueyin: "Mm."

Jiang Xinli gasped, "Will I ever see you again in the Holy Domain?"

Xueyin pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm."

Actually, probably not.
In a little while, the dark tide and the blood moon will meet. By then, he should be...
He didn't know what he could do for her.

That piece of his heart was the only thing he could leave for her.

"It's good to see you again." The girl's face lit up instantly, her eyes crinkling with joy. "By the way, Xueyin, where do you live in the underwater palace?"

He had no quantum computer or similar items on his wrist, nor the conch shell that the jellyfish official had given him for communication.

If you need to contact him urgently, you'll have to go to his place.

“I—” The boy fell silent. “Miss Xinli, I will wait for you at the Sanctuary whenever I have time.”

Where does he live in the underwater palace?

He didn't know either.

All he knew was that when the four hours were up, he would be taken to a dark, silent, and desolate world.

There was no sunshine there, and it was extremely cold.

Extremely lonely...
