The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 244 First Encounter and Clash
Thinking about it this way, there are still many important things to do, where would I find the time to talk about love and have sex!

Ling Chengen quickly found a reason for himself, calmly lay back on his small bed, and slowly extended his mental energy downwards into the seawater.

I recently found a good training method.

On land, the radius of her mental power can extend to about 1,500 meters.

However, once mental energy enters the water, the maximum distance it can extend is shortened exponentially, reaching a maximum depth of only fifty meters.

Exploring further underwater is not impossible, but she would soon experience a stabbing pain in her head, which is the feeling of her mental energy reaching its limit.

Psychic abilities are a very subtle kind of power; in simpler terms, they are roughly like a kind of thought.

However, this kind of thought consumes physical energy, and it forms a real space with a certain part of the brain, namely the mental domain.

The level of development of one's mental domain determines the upper limit of one's mental abilities.

Overusing mental energy can damage the mental domain.

Brain injuries are more difficult to treat than physical injuries.

When the damage to the mental domain reaches a certain level, the ability to heal itself will be completely lost, and the mental powers will instantly go out of control, forming a storm within the brain that indiscriminately attacks other areas of the brain.

Generally, reaching this stage means either brain death or becoming mentally impaired.

However, the improvement of mental strength lies in constantly pushing the boundaries of mental abilities; otherwise, one will stagnate.

Therefore, it is normal for her to experience a slight tingling sensation in her mental domain, but she must carefully control the degree of damage and the time interval.

Ling Chengen would occasionally unleash his spiritual power to hone his abilities.

Besides training the distance that mental strength can extend, there is another training method.

It's about training the mental tentacles.

Mental tentacles only appear after reaching the ninth rank; before that, mental abilities cannot be materialized.

Ling Chengen was not quite sure why he still had a mental ability after arriving in the Beast World, and that his ability was directly at the ninth level.

But some questions, once investigated thoroughly, remained unresolved, so she stopped paying attention to them.

Ling Chengen closed his eyes and lay on the small bed, seemingly asleep, but in reality, his mental energy was cautiously probing fifty meters below the sea surface.

The cave, which wasn't very large, was warm and cozy from the burning of the Red Source Stone, making her face flushed. The cave was quiet, except for the faint sounds of seawater crashing against the rocks and the distant, mournful cry of the sea.

The sea at night.

The wind was strong and the waves were surging.

Thunder roared from beneath the distant dark clouds.

The countless sea beasts quickly caught their breath and immediately dived into the deep sea, avoiding the purple electric pythons at all costs.

Beneath the surface of the sea, undercurrents were surging.

Shi Ruoan twisted the dazed Mei Ji and looked back at the sea guards who had come out in full force.

Less than ten minutes after Maggie disappeared, she was discovered at the palace.

Fortunately, the people of the Gujuzhang clan were reliable. Within ten minutes, they transferred Meiji out of the palace and handed her over to him.

Despite his best efforts, Wu Si could only fall behind Shi Ruoan.

He turned to look at the approaching sea guards and said to Shi Ruoan, "Priest, this won't do. We'll be caught by the sea guards soon. I'll distract them."

Shi Ruoan glanced at Wu Si and said confidently, "No need, just stay close to me."

Shi Ruo'an did not use his full strength because he was mentally calculating the route forward and their current location.

Further up is the area where highly venomous jellyfish live. Those sea guards who want to pass through must be extremely careful, which will inevitably slow down their progress. However, those highly venomous jellyfish are actually a good helper for him to shake off the pursuers behind him.

A golden jellyfish swam over Shi Ruoan's head, emitting a faint glow in the dark depths of the sea.

The red gold jellyfish isn't particularly large, but it's not small either.

It is usually about one meter in diameter.

Shi Ruoan held Mei Ji with one hand and stretched her left hand above her head.

An inverted bowl of ice enveloped him and Us, who was slightly below.

The ice rose quickly in the seawater, but it couldn't keep up with his swimming speed, so he mainly used his left hand to push against the ice and swim upwards.

Countless crimson jellyfish crashed into the outer ice layer and were quickly torn apart by the immense force.

Us watched helplessly as Shi Ruoan, carrying both of them, supported himself with the ice bowl in his left hand, and led him and Mei Ji into the swarm of red gold jellyfish, completely shaking off the dense pursuers behind them.

The ice bowl shattered from the middle the instant it broke through the surface of the sea.

Shi Ruoan shattered all the ice blocks with a wave of her hand, used her supernatural power to completely cut through the ice shards, and with a flick of her fishtail, she grabbed Mei Ji and swam toward the distant reef maze.

Us was left some distance behind, and only his fishtail could be seen occasionally flicking on the surface of the sea before disappearing into the night.

He had no choice but to charge forward headlong until he entered the reef area and crashed headfirst into a hard rock. Only then was he startled and looked around but could no longer find Shi Ruoan.

After wandering around the maze of reefs for a while, Shi Ruoan suddenly appeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder: "Come with me."

When Us saw his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed that Meggie wasn't beside him.

Us asked in a panic, "Where is Queen Megi? Did she run away?"

"No." Shi Ruoan led him through the maze of reefs with ease, her voice calm and unhurried. "I just took her to the cave. Someone is watching her."

Us was still very nervous, mainly because they had gone to great lengths to rescue Megi from the palace. If she escaped, all their previous efforts would be wasted, and all the members of the Ancient Giant Octopus Clan who participated in the kidnapping of Megi would face extremely harsh torture and punishment.

Shi Ruoan glanced at him and suddenly stopped: "I know you went to great lengths to bring Mei Ji out of the palace. She is also an extremely important bargaining chip for me, and I will not be negligent in this matter."

"The person who helped me look after Megi is the orc who saved my life before."

“Her abilities are beyond question. I trust her and believe she can keep a close eye on Maggie for me.”

“Since your ancient giant octopus clan has decided to cooperate with me, and I have placed all my trust in you in the early stages, I ask that you place the same trust and confidence in me and my friends in the following operations.” Us was startled by his solemn demeanor, nodded woodenly, and didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

For some reason, he felt that the solemn high priest at this moment had an inhuman coldness and a powerful sense of oppression.

He had only ever felt this kind of pressure when facing King Xayya before.

When Shi Ruoan led Wusi into the cave, Ling Chengen was squatting in front of Meiji, curiously observing the woman who was slowly regaining consciousness.

It has to be said that someone who can charm a former playboy into betraying his wife must have a truly unique advantage in appearance.

Ling Chengen had seen many female sea creatures in the market, including many female Baman snakes, but Mei Ji's appearance was completely extraordinary compared to those female sea creatures.

Ling Chengen vaguely saw the charm and allure unique to snake demons in Mei Ji.

Perhaps because Megi had been queen for quite some time, she still possessed a subtle and exquisite air of nobility. Even after being kidnapped and forced to flee by Shi Ruoan, and likely suffering greatly along the way, she still appeared dignified and composed.

Especially after she regained some consciousness, she exuded a sense of composure from beginning to end.

Ling Chengen kept a safe distance from her, resting his chin on his hand and quietly watching her tidy her slightly messy wet hair. He didn't ask any questions, but just stared at her leisurely, waiting for her reaction.

Mei Ji used her slender fingers to comb her long hair in front of her chest before raising her head to look at Ling Chengen's slightly immature face. She suddenly smiled and said, "I thought he had found some kind of powerful backer, but it turns out he's just a child."

Ling Chengen didn't mind her contempt and chuckled, "So what if you're a kid? Kids can hurt a lot when they hit you!"

She slowly retracted her five fingers, and her knuckles gradually made a cracking sound.

"If you don't believe me, I can let you experience it for free."

Meg's smile faded slightly: "No need. Which tribe are you from?"

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes slightly, not answering her question, but instead twirling the small metal dagger between his fingers, and said indifferently, "Whether you know these things or not makes no difference to you."

"It seems you have no intention of letting me go back?" Meiji raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression fearless. "You should know who I am, right? If I can't go back, the people of the Sea Sacrifice Hall, Shi Panxing's subordinates, and all the sea creatures who participated in kidnapping me... will all die."

Ling Chengen suddenly grinned and said, "After saying all that, you've only revealed one piece of information."

"Looks like you're pretty afraid of dying."

Maggie's expression vanished completely, and this time she finally began to seriously examine her.

Ling Chengen braced himself on his knees, preparing to stand up. In that instant, Mei Ji's face turned grim, her right hand transforming into a sharp claw, aimed directly at Ling Chengen's bright and radiant eyes.

With black fingernails just inches from her eyes, Ling Chengen curled his lips, held the dagger to her tiger's mouth, and with a backhand slash, left a deep wound on the tiger's mouth of her right hand, from which blood instantly gushed out.

Mei Ji's face contorted in pain. She abruptly pulled her right hand back and sprang away, putting distance between herself and Ling Chengen. She then turned and plunged into the sea.

Ling Chengen had anticipated her escape. He drew the bone blade from his waist with his left hand and appeared directly in front of Mei Ji's escape route in the blink of an eye. With the back of the bone blade, he slashed Mei Ji back onto the shore.

Maggie's body slammed heavily against the wall and then crashed onto the rocks on the ground. The repeated impacts caused her to groan in pain.

Just as Ling Chengen was about to approach her, a stream of black venom suddenly shot out from behind the rock, heading straight for her face.

Ling Chengen dodged to the side, watching the venom splatter on the rocks, instantly corroding a small pit. He couldn't help but glance sideways at Mei Ji, who was lying in the corner: "Your poison is quite potent."

This venom is just as good as the one Chang Tianchen sprayed!

However, Chang Tianchen had the advantage in size and a greater amount of venom.

Meiji coughed a few times, and without saying a word, attacked her again.

Seeing that she was still persistent, Ling Chengen said speechlessly, "Do you really think I'm a child?"

The next second, Maggie was kicked into the corner again, and the back of her head hit the wall.

This kick was much more powerful than the previous slash.

Megi was an ordinary female without any special abilities, and given that the physical defenses of the Baman snake tribe were not strong to begin with, she fainted on the spot.

Ling Chengen did not approach rashly. Instead, he used his supernatural ability to check and confirmed that she had really fainted. Only then did he walk to her side, pull her out of the corner with one hand, and tie her up with a rope.

Although she didn't think the rope could restrain Meg, it was better than nothing.

Ling Chengen had just finished tying the person up when he sensed movement underwater.

She knelt on one knee, turned her head slightly, and saw Shi Ruoan emerge from the water. He was holding onto the rocks on the shore with one hand, and with his right hand he brushed all the wet hair off his face and looked straight in her direction.

Ling Chengen was about to greet him when he saw several bubbles rising to the surface of the water behind him. He smiled and said, "You brought the person over?"

"Ah."

Shi Ruoan nodded, got out of the water, and stepped barefoot onto the rocks. As he walked, he froze the water droplets on his body. With a slight shake, the frozen water droplets fell onto the rocks and then rolled down the slope into the sea.

Uss, the dog, cautiously emerged from beneath the sea, its round eyes looking towards the source of the light. After looking around, it finally spotted Ling Chengen, who was inflicting "abuse" on their sea queen, in the shadows.

Seeing that Ling Chengen's gaze lingered on the shore for a long time, Shi Ruoan turned around and introduced, "This is Wusi of the ancient giant octopus clan. He is a very clever sea creature. He played a great role in bringing Meiji out of the palace."

Ling Chengen glanced at Mei Ji in front of him and said with a smile, "You should thank me for knocking her unconscious just now. Otherwise, if she knew Wu Si's name and identity, she might have caused him trouble later."

Us slowly left the water, and once ashore, he sprouted legs and whispered, "Thank you..."

"It's too early to thank me now." Ling Chengen glanced at his hair and exposed skin. "The characteristics of the ancient giant octopus clan on your body are too obvious. Even if you don't introduce yourself, she will definitely be able to guess it."

Us looked at Shi Ruoan, his tone full of uncertainty: "So now I should... leave here?"

Shi Ruoan: "After leaving here, do you have a suitable place to hide from the Haiwei's search?"

Uss hesitated and shook his head, saying, "It seems...not?"

“Then stay here and help her look after Maggie.”

After Shi Ruoan finished speaking, she turned to look at Ling Chengen, who had a half-smile on his face: "You have a way to solve this situation, right?"

Ling Chengen said with a smile, "There definitely is, but it might be a bit... unethical."

Shi Ruoan had no doubts about this and said cleanly and decisively, "As long as the person doesn't die, you can do whatever you want with them."

Ling Chengen nodded, and said meaningfully, "Okay, then don't stop me from doing whatever I do next."
