Unable to sense the passage of time underwater, Xu Wan could only judge how many days had passed by the meals she had eaten.

She always felt that she had forgotten a lot of things, but she didn't know where to start thinking about what they were.

She didn't even know why she was keeping track of time.

"The female master."

Shen Yin wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and gently nuzzled her neck with his chin.

"What are you thinking about? Let's have some grilled clams today."

"Chenyin, let's go outside and take a look today."

The arms around her waist tightened, and after a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice.

Why?

She seemed oblivious to his odd behavior, only looking up at the sky.

"Chenyin, you've already shown me all over the seabed, I want to see the surface."

"The female master..."

"Silent Sound".

She interrupted him, pulled his hand away, and her tone turned cold.

You're hiding something from me.

She just can't remember something, but that doesn't mean she can't think.

These past few days, Shen Yin has been indulging her every whim and telling her many stories from the past, making her memories increasingly clear.

But whenever she mentioned going outside, he would either change the subject or, before she could even react, she would have already fainted.

She turned to look at him. "Shenyin, I have my own things to do too. You can't keep me locked up here forever."

"Mistress, what are you going to do?"

"I……"

She opened her mouth, "Although I can't remember right now, I also..."

"The female protagonist, Ah Wan."

He looked down at her.

Those light purple eyes were no longer as clear and pure as she had initially thought; something seemed to have flashed in them.

She frowned, trying to get a better look, but then heard him laugh self-deprecatingly.

"If I wanted to keep you locked up, things wouldn't be like this now."

As soon as she finished speaking, her vision began to blur, and her feet felt light on their feet.

"Silent, deep voice..." You can't do this...

Before she could finish speaking, her consciousness was swallowed up by something unfathomable.

Shen Yin gently lifted her back onto the bed, tracing her eyebrows and eyes inch by inch with her fingertips.

"Ah Wan, I've waited too long, just stay with me like this..."

His gaze fell on her bond mark, and the dark mist in his light purple eyes deepened.

A voice rose from the depths of his consciousness, carrying a hint of seduction and urgency.

Erase her memories, reshape her into the person you desire, and she will belong only to you...

"……Shut up."

Chen Yin suddenly clutched her forehead.

"I...I won't do that, she...doesn't like it."

The black mist let out a hoarse laugh.

[Hahaha... Stupid fish, how much do you think you mean to her? You'd give your life for her, but what about her?]

Chen Yin staggered to her feet, her hands clenched into fists. "Shut up, shut up!"

But the more this happened, the louder the black mist's mocking voice became.

If she truly cared about you, she wouldn't have left you, wouldn't have made you wait so long, and wouldn't still be thinking about leaving you now!

No, that's not how it is. Before Awan left him, she said she would definitely come back!

She said she couldn't bear to part with him; she loved him!

Don't be foolish! She's just using you to get you to find a way to resurrect her, while she makes you suffer for her!

"No, no... I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Chen Yin knelt on the ground, tearing at her hair with both hands.

His gentle and refined face turned frantic and broken, as if the beliefs he had always held dear were about to collapse.

He curled up on the ground, "No...no..."

The black mist in his eyes seemed to have lost some kind of control, laughing wildly as it churned within them.

Soon, it will be able to break free completely and never have to endure this purification day after day again!

It will eventually be resurrected before her; it is the true ruler of this world!

"well……"

A sigh came from afar.

Before the black mist could react, a hand appeared in front of it, precisely grasping its core and lifting it out completely.

"what……"

Its laughter stopped abruptly.

When it met those sea-blue eyes, it was completely stunned.

"How...how could this be? You...you're not..."

"Not what?"

Xu Wan raised an eyebrow.

"Shouldn't you be unable to remember anything, shouldn't you still be unconscious, shouldn't you be watching this place turn into hell while I'm powerless to stop it?"

She tightened her grip on its core, as if any more force would shatter it completely.

The feeling that death was imminent finally made the black mist realize the fear.

"What... what happened to you...?"

"Well..."

A slight smile played on her lips.

Before the black mist could react, she tightened her palm, and fine lines quickly covered the core surface.

With a "crack," the core shattered.

"you……"

The black mist was furious, but it couldn't do anything about her.

Xu Wan made a waving goodbye gesture to it, "I'd rather see you die with your eyes wide open than know why."

"I will... be resurrected..."

Before the words were even finished, it was completely crumpled into a ball, enveloped in blue light.

The burning pain of purification made it scream in agony, but it received even more purifying power poured into it.

"Xu, Xu Wan... you couldn't achieve complete purification back then, and you... can't possibly do it now..."

"I know."

Her hands didn't stop moving for a second. "I just crushed you, that's called a villain dying from talking too much. Now, I'll teach you something else."

The blue light grew stronger, and her voice sounded to it as if it came from a very distant place.

"You can't get fat in one bite, so... remember to eat extra meals!"

"Ahhh..."

The screams in her ears disappeared, and she looked at the cloud-like mist in front of her and casually waved her hand.

"Go."

When the fog cleared, she collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

That's still too much of a stretch...

She turned to look at Chen Yin, who had fainted on the ground, and crawled to him on all fours.

"Idiot... Do you think you can stop its resurrection by trapping that dark energy within your body?"

She tore open his animal skin coat and placed her hand on his chest.

She no longer had the strength to purify it.

However, these black mists, once out of control, would run rampant within his body, gnawing at his heart and causing him unbearable pain.

She closed her eyes, tightened her palms, and a faint, light blue light emanated from beneath them.

As if sensing something, the out-of-control black mist gathered around her chest.

One wisp, two wisps... more and more black mist wrapped around her hands.

It was very heavy; it felt like a small mountain was pressing down on my hand.

There was also a biting pain, as if countless tiny teeth were embedded in her skin, almost numbing her.

More and more cold sweat poured down his forehead, and a few drops slid down his cheeks and dripped onto Chen Yin's front.

His eyelashes trembled, as if he were about to wake up.

She couldn't wait any longer; if Chen Yin saw her, she wouldn't be able to complete the final step.

She decided to take the plunge, gritted her teeth, gathered the black mist into her palm, and slammed it hard against her right shoulder.

"Well……"

Everything went black before her eyes, and she braced herself with her hands on the ground to keep from falling.

It hurts so much... The black mist that she had imprisoned was rampaging across her right shoulder, as if it was trying to force a crack in it.

Unable to hold on any longer, she simply lay down on Chen Yin and slowly stroked his face with her left hand.

If she weren't completely exhausted, she would love to kiss him.

"I'm back, my little fish, you've worked so hard..."
