Lea and Elvis exchanged a look after Gu Mengmeng, Fei Rui and Wabei disappeared into the ocean.
Lea didn’t ask any questions while Elvis also didn’t make any comment.
Meanwhile, Gu Mengmeng didn’t have any problems breathing after entering the sea. The Kiss of the Beast Deity was good stuff. This was probably a cheat code that the Beast Deity gave his Messengers?
After entering the sea, Fei Rui and Wabei kept their eyes on Gu Mengmeng, as if worried that she would be unaccustomed to being underwater. However, they discovered that Gu Mengmeng behaved like she had shed off a heavy weight and was full of curiosity for the myriad types of colorful marine life. She even stuck two pieces of coral in her hair and asked Fei Rui if she looked like a dragon?
Fei Rui’s legs had morphed into a fish tail after entering the water, with his upper body naked. This young chap appeared young and fragile in human form, but now looked like a boy god on the verge of maturity in his half-beast form. He had a certain college-vibe… no, it was a high-school vibe that screamed of a “young man adept at both basketball and guitar, who would send you to school on a motorcycle while dressed in white shirts and jeans.”
Yes, high-school era. Not older than that.
If based purely on his face, Gu Mengmeng might even say middle school.
But that physique…
A middle school boy would never have such lean muscles even if he spent all day at the gym.
Gu Mengmeng’s impish hands reached towards Fei Rui’s fish tail. She smiled salaciously. “Can I touch it?”
“Erm…” Before Fei Rui could answer, Gu Mengmeng had already plastered her hands on his tail.
Wow! The scales on the tail of the mythical mermaid was smooth and shiny, reflecting the sunlight that penetrated the ocean to emit a dazzling, yet gentle glow. If one must nitpick… tsk, was this a male? His chest was too flat which interfered with the rest of his perfection.
Although Gu Mengmeng had just touched him briefly, Fei Rui’s face had turned as red as a monkey’s buttocks. She felt a pang of guilt, as if she had accidentally tarnished an innocent soul? But she was truly just curious and didn’t know that mermaids’ tails were exceptionally sensitive.
Retrieving her hand, Gu Mengmeng laughed dryly. “I won’t touch you anymore. Let’s go. Aren’t you in a hurry to save your sister?”
Fei Rui’s face dimmed at the thought of his sister. He nodded and swam forward.
After a while, he turned back only to discover that Gu Mengmeng was trailing far behind…
He had already slowed down his pace, but she was still unable to catch up.
Her swimming style was very strange. It looked good but… it was way too slow?
Gu Mengmeng noticed the uncertainty in Fei Rui’s face and sighed inwardly. With no choice, she held onto Wabei’s neck and smiled. “Brother, bring me along for the ride.”
“Why should I?” Wabei glared at Gu Mengmeng coldly.
Gu Mengmeng turned and revealed the mark on her neck. “Because of this. Okay?”
Wabei gritted his teeth and grabbed hold of Gu Mengmeng’s armpits. As if he was moving luggage, he carried Gu Mengmeng and caught up with Fei Rui while in his half-beast form.
Seriously, that fish and snake moved so fast in the water, it was like traveling on an express train without seat belts. Very exhilarating.
Gu Mengmeng was only able to relax after Fei Rui and Wabei finally slowed down. At the same time, she could see an increasing number of mermaids in their surroundings. They stared at her and Wabei with eyes filled with wonder and surprise, mixed with intense fear.
