Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 57 Lone String's Extraordinary Ability

"Huh? No?"

Elder Whale Shark parted the seaweed but found nothing unusual. He looked at the strange clump of seaweed with a puzzled expression.

After a long while, he finally flung the seaweed back hard and returned to his original spot. "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you so slow?"

Chao Sheng froze, holding her breath and not daring to move. She had originally intended to hide with Gu Xian.

But Gu Xian grabbed her and wouldn't let her go.

With no other option, Chao Sheng had to stay there, even secretly accumulating her witch power, waiting for the whale shark elder to discover them so she could deliver a fatal blow.

But to everyone's surprise, Elder Whale Shark didn't notice them at all. He was standing right in front of them, only five feet away, yet he still didn't see them!
Thinking of this, Chao Sheng looked at Gu Xian with a questioning look in her eyes, "What did you do?"

Gu Xian slightly curled the corners of his lips, a mysterious smile playing at the corners of his eyes, and said innocently, "I didn't do anything?"

"I just didn't want him to find out about us."

Chao Sheng frowned slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes, her voice like a cool drop of water sliding down: "Is it your special ability?"

Gu Xian did not deny it, and gently hummed in agreement, her slightly lowered red eyes gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

Chao Sheng calmly observed Gu Xian, his thoughts racing. If he had a way to evade Elder Whale Shark's detection, he must also have a way to get there directly.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips unhappily, her eyes turning slightly cold: "Do you have any way to see them and go directly into the rift valley?"

Gu Xian gave another soft "hmm," his smiling eyes carrying a barely perceptible smirk.

"..." Chao Sheng felt like she had been tricked. If he had that ability, why would she use seaweed as a smokescreen and act like a fool?

She raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Gu Xian, her clear eyes carrying a faint smile, her beautiful face delicate and innocent, instantly making Chao Sheng unable to say anything harsh.

With her tongue pressed against her teeth, Chao Sheng closed her eyes tightly, suppressing her emotions, then suddenly opened them. "Let's go."

"Take me down."

Forget it, let’s get down to business.

"it is good."

Gu Xian stopped teasing her and gently used his supernatural power, causing the two of them to disappear from the sight of the other orcs.

The bottomless cliff face, its dark color, and its bitter, foul odor made people uncomfortable, turning their heads away for fear of getting even a little bit of it on them.

Chao Sheng was determined to go down, but she hesitated and looked at Gu Xian, "I..."

“I’ll go with you,” Gu Xian said firmly.

Her gentle features revealed an unyielding stubbornness. Chao Sheng paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Anyway, with her there, she won't let anything happen to him.

Many orcs came and went, picking and carrying sea spirit ginseng up and down. Chao Sheng and Gu Xian chose a secluded spot.

The emerald green grass shimmered faintly amidst the swaying, sticky black silk, and as the orc slowly approached, his turbid mind began to feel a little better.

With Gu Xian as cover, Chao Sheng secretly picked a ginseng, held it in his hand, examined it, and sniffed it.

A deep look flashed across Chao Sheng's face. This tasted like mustard, and it looked similar too.

But doesn't borage grow on land?
Are they in the sea too?

If this really is Liu Jie, Chao Sheng blinked worriedly, a hint of fear showing in her eyes.

Those orcs who directly consumed the Sea Spirit Ginseng are probably...

Thinking of this, she turned around and solemnly said to Gu Xian, "Let's go."

Before leaving, Chao Sheng secretly took two more Sea Spirit Ginsengs with her. What if she messed them up during her research? It would be safer to take two extra. With the help of Gu Xian's special ability from Chapter 57, Chao Sheng successfully left Black Rift Valley with the Sea Spirit Ginsengs.

"Are you going back?"

Gu Xian didn't miss the obvious change in Chao Sheng's expression just now, and his soft voice carried a slight sense of disappointment.

I'm afraid she's not in the mood to hunt right now.

Chao Sheng simply shook his head heavily, "It's alright, let's go hunt for Xiao Du first."

There's no rush with Liujie's matter. Let's go hunt for Xiaodu first; we've already agreed.

Gu Xian swam slowly with Chao Sheng along the way, and the atmosphere was unusually somber.

Chao Sheng absentmindedly flicked her large purple tail, her pretty little face sullen. Was Liu Jie really a sea spirit ginseng?

While purifying herbs do have a purifying effect, they must be boiled with white cypress leaves and swallowed.

Taking mustard alone can cause poisoning.

It seems that Xizhi sold sea spirit ginseng to many orcs. I'm afraid that many orcs in the polar sea will die a violent death.

"arrive."

Sunlight pierced through the seawater, casting beams of light. Some dinoflagellates swayed and floated, shimmering with a faint fluorescence. Sea fireflies trembled, emitting a dazzling blue light, like "blue tears" in the ocean.

Schools of deep blue mackerel swam by, their bodies colliding with the black and white transparent ice fish.

Fusion, dispersion, magnificence, dreamlike.

Chao Sheng wrapped the three sea cucumbers with seaweed to ensure they wouldn't be damaged by the small creatures. At that moment, she felt a little envious of Zhu Che. If only she had a space-type ability, she could put all the sea cucumbers in her personal space.

"Oh, by the way, how much does Xiao Du usually eat?"

Chao Sheng guessed that Xiao Du was a very small octopus and probably didn't eat much.

“He doesn’t eat much, but if you bring her a lot back, he’ll be very happy.”

Gu Xian crudely wove a net out of grass and vines. It couldn't catch small fish, but it was enough to catch adult fish.

He handed the other end of the vine to Chao Sheng, his clear red eyes looking at her tenderly: "If we catch them this way, we can catch a lot at once."

Chao Sheng looked at the vine handed to her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes before she quickly understood Gu Xian's meaning. "Okay."

"Let's swim across together."

I chose a great angle; from this direction, I can easily catch both mackerel and icefish in the net at the same time.

Chao Sheng and Gu Xian each stood on one side, and the opening of the grass vine net slowly opened. Purple and red hair flowed smoothly in the sea, and a school of delicious fish fell into the green trap.

“We can catch a few more.” Chao Sheng pointed to the right, a hint of a smile appearing in his somber eyes.

She had never fished like this before. In the past, she would either catch a couple of fish at random to eat, or she would eat the fish that Bai Ni and Yin Xu had caught.

I never imagined that a simple hunt could be so interesting.

"Okay." Gu Xian shook the grass vine in his hand, and many fish that were not up to standard were shaken off, and the grass vine net was much emptier.

With a slight darkening in her red eyes, Gu Xian smiled softly, "This, this, Xiao Du just loves to eat this kind of fatty stuff."

The fish he was pointing to was an ice fish, which was unusually rounder than the other long and pointed ice fish, and was also a bit longer.

It looks like a fish with delicious flesh.

Chao Sheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at the fish with great interest.
