After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"No, that's not it. Sensitivity isn't a flaw; numbness is."

"numbness?"

"It is precisely because people do foolish things during adolescence that most people think sensitive people are naive, simple, and powerless. But in reality, a sensitive adolescence is the most unforgettable time in a person's life."

"!"

"Run while you're young, challenge yourself while you're still naive. It's because young hearts are fearless that they can create the most wonderful things in the world. I remember, in the last era, those great people who changed the world, didn't they establish parties and organizations that changed countries when they were young? But when they got old, they were more prone to gain and loss, and lost the passion and enthusiasm of their youth."

"This……"

Lonnies knew what Lianlan was referring to. In fact, back then, when the country was beset by internal and external troubles and the nation was on the verge of collapse, it was mostly young people who stepped forward.

Only young people are foolish enough to disregard personal gains and losses and only want to achieve the interests of everyone.

Only young people can keep the flame burning in their hearts and leave behind the lines, "I laugh as I brandish my sword to the sky, my heart and soul remain loyal to the Kunlun Mountains."

and so……

Only young people can be the heroes who save the world.

As a young girl, Lonnies was the most suitable one.

"Lianlan..."

"Lonnies, please let me assist you. Whatever your orders or ideas, I will do my best to help you."

"Ah, ah..."

Under Lian Lan's intense gaze, Lonnies became even more embarrassed.

She was too embarrassed to admit that she had saved the world only to bring peace to the country so that she could marry the beautiful princess and live a happy life.

I'm embarrassed to admit that in this life, I was also driven by lust, and that's why I shaped my body like this for the sake of sex.

But since Lianlan has already said that...

"Well, let's bring An Ran here first. I think there might still be hope for her."

“Miss Hero, but An Ran has completely turned into a monster. I think it’s best not to have such unrealistic imaginations.”

"It's okay, there's no harm in giving it a try, right?"

And that's how things turned out.

After An Ran was placed in prison and observed up close... Lonnies realized that the bandages, casts, and IV lines on her body were not decorations at all, but part of her body!

It has almost completely grown into the skin, and the IV line is filled with essential bodily fluids.

This bizarre sight would make anyone frown, and Lonnie took out her Clear Staff and gave a brief analysis.

And as Lianlan had predicted, An Ran's body contained a surging curse power. What stood before her now was hardly a person, but an alien creature.

……

"She has been suffering all these years. So I have always wanted to go deep into the vast ocean and give her complete relief."

"Lianlan..."

“There are many things that, once lost, can never be regained. I must personally bring an end to them.”

Lianlan stood up, seemingly wanting to become the butcher and personally kill her former comrade.

but……

"Lianlan, don't worry. I think even if I can't do it, Elusia will definitely have a way."

"Elusia..."

"Yes, she's my... um, my lover! She's a really amazing girl. Although she has a quirky sense of humor, she always manages to find a solution when dangerous situations arise."

"..."

"Oh, right, I didn't mean to brag, did I? Actually, Lianlan is my partner now, um... so, once we all get together and discuss it, maybe something new will happen?"

"Yes, Miss Hero, you are absolutely right."

Lian Lan nodded slightly and put down the sword in her hand.

Chapter 63 Belief

With Lianlan's help, Lonnie's journey became much smoother.

At least, she can rest peacefully now... With Lianlan on duty, even if something happens at night, Lonnies will be notified in time and can get a good night's sleep.

The same goes for meals. In order to shorten the time spent eating and washing up as much as possible, Lonnie has been eating fast food and washing up hastily... Dirty clothes are just piled up somewhere, and she doesn't even have a chance to use the washing machine.

Now, life has largely returned to normal.

Lonnie didn't need to be in the cockpit all the time, and she got even more information from Lianlan.

“Miss Lianlan said… my companions were captured by the Tide Dragon. Where exactly is the Tide Dragon’s lair?”

"It's hard to say."

"what?"

"Because Warrior Lonnie saw it too, right? The visibility in the vast sea is extremely low, and all reference points have lost their gravity, making it very difficult to determine the current direction."

"!"

"So in the past, we could only follow the trail of the Tide Dragon and follow it all the way back to its lair."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing Lianlan say this, Lonnies felt a little nervous.

Since venturing deep into the vast sea, the starfish have become increasingly scarce, and even the little starfish that has always accompanied Lonnie often finds itself in a state of confusion.

"What is the origin of this Tidal Dragon? Is it also a marine creature contaminated by the mutation?"

Lonnie blinked. She had never seen a Tide Dragon before, but judging from Lianlan's cautious attitude, it must be a terrifying monster.

"Hmm, Miss Lonnie, have you heard of the legend of the Shadow Beasts?"

"Shadow Beast?"

"There is also a saying that she is called the Nian beast."

"Of course I've heard of it! In fact, I used to... I often celebrated the New Year too."

At this point, Lonnie gave an awkward smile.

"Alright, that makes it easier to explain. In fact, the Tide Dragon is also one of the true forms of the Nian Beast."

"what?!"

"To be precise, Shadow Beasts refer to all unidentified creatures that have not been analyzed or understood by humans and originate from the vast ocean. Among all Shadow Beasts, the Tide Dragon was originally the most friendly one."

"original?"

"Yes, it didn't attack humans in the past. It only devoured some of the goods that humans left at the port, but everything changed after that anomaly 100 years ago."

"..."

"At that time, the sea capsized for unknown reasons, and the boundary of the vast sea continued to spread toward the Drowned Islands... and at the most critical moment, even standing on the watchtower of Drowned Harbor, one could see the boundary of the vast sea."

"So close?!"

"Yes, and since then, the Tide Dragons have become aggressive. They attack villages on the archipelago and our cities... and wherever they go, people and wealth are sucked into their bellies by their warp power."

"No wonder, everyone has disappeared."

……

Lonnie thought about it carefully, and suddenly, she noticed a fact that she had never noticed before.

Lianlan said that the Nilan Islands experienced an anomaly 100 years ago.

The Snow Kingdom was also attacked 100 years ago... Is this just a coincidence? Or is it also part of the Demon Lord's scheme?

The girl fell into deep thought. To refine her hypothesis, she needed to gather more clues.

However, just as Lornish was talking...

Suddenly, the little starfish swam over and said very seriously, "Hua hu hua!"

"Little Starfish, have you found anything?"

"~~!"

"Lianlan, we need to hurry..."

"Ah."

……

……

Together with Lianlan, they went to the driver's seat, and Lonnies also discovered that something strange had appeared in the thick fog!

It looked like a giant tentacle monster, its enormous tentacles swaying gently in the thick fog.

(How can it be so big?!)

Upon seeing the monster she feared most, Lonnie's legs instinctively went weak.

However, she quickly realized... these tentacle monsters didn't seem to be ordinary tentacle monsters.

Their skin is less fleshy and more like vines.

vine……?

Remembering a familiar presence, Lonnie cried out joyfully:

"Miss Lianlan, let's head this way! There's a clue here!"

"clue……?"

"Yes, I recognize these vines; they are the roots of the Tree of Ruins!"
