After changing her clothes, An Qi clung to Lin Yifan like a sloth once more.
From beginning to end, she hadn't made a sound; she just wanted to dumbly lie on Lin Yifan, relishing his care and protection.
Lin Yifan was also very considerate and didn't tease An Qi anymore; he felt that this state was very pleasant, with a beauty in his arms and the warmth and scent of her body present.
When they returned to the shelter, An Qi fell asleep in Lin Yifan's embrace; and after adding some wood to the fire, Lin Yifan also drifted off.
Not much later, the sea breeze howled and the waves churned, disrupting the previously calm seaside with noise and movement.
The next moment, numerous sea snakes began to wriggle and crawl out from the tumultuous ocean, making their way toward the jungle.
The keen Lin Yifan quickly sensed that something was wrong; he abruptly opened his eyes to assess the situation.
In an instant, he was terrified by the scene before him.
He saw the beach teeming with a dense mass of sea snakes; these snakes were speeding towards their direction.
Lin Yifan quickly grabbed a torch from the fire nearby, entering a state of alert; under no circumstances could he allow these venomous sea snakes to harm An Qi.
Startled awake by Lin Yifan's sudden movements, An Qi squinted her eyes open, mumbling in a haze, "Big pervert, what's going on? Why won't you let me sleep?"
"Baby, close your eyes quickly, don't look," Lin Yifan urged.
If An Qi saw so many sea snakes crawling toward them, she would certainly be scared to death.
"Why?" An Qi asked, puzzled.
"Just do as your future husband says," Lin Yifan replied, his voice filled with tension.
But how could the mischievous An Qi obediently listen to him; driven by curiosity, she opened her eyes and surveyed the surroundings.
The next moment, she saw so many sea snakes and immediately became frantic and terrified, emitting a scream of horror, "Ahhhh!"
Afterward, she shut her eyes tightly, trembling all over, hugging Lin Yifan tightly, and dared not be naughty anymore.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Your future husband is here, any difficulty can be resolved," Lin Yifan kept soothing An Qi's anxious and frightened emotions, helping her to calm down.
"Big pervert, quickly use your special abilities to get rid of them!" An Qi cried out in fear and tension.
"There are too many sea snakes, I might not be able to eliminate them all," Lin Yifan answered.
"If you can't eliminate them, then try harder to do it. I don't want to be eaten by the sea snakes," An Qi said, terrified out of her wits.
"Wait a little longer! If the torches don't threaten them, then I will use my special abilities to eradicate them," Lin Yifan responded.
He also wanted to use his cultivation power to eliminate them, but the sea snakes kept coming in an unending stream from the sea; doing so would only be a waste of energy to no avail, so it was better to wait and see the situation more clearly before acting.
The next moment, the sea snakes at the forefront charged over; however, these snakes bypassed them and crawled straight into the jungle.
"Huh! Why aren't they attacking us? Could it be that they're afraid of fire? No, that can't be it. If they were afraid of fire, they wouldn't ignore us. Their target isn't us!" Lin Yifan muttered to himself in a low voice, reaching an astonishing conclusion; he realized that these sea snakes' target wasn't them, but something deeper within the jungle.
On the other side, hearing Lin Yifan's indistinct whisper, An Qi curiously asked, "Big pervert! What's happening now? Are they attacking us?"
