Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 79 Baby Octopus
Chao Sheng led Gu Xian to Chun Ze Teng's location.

The lush green spring vines intertwined and formed a dense patch. Now that Gu Xian had arrived, Chao Sheng began to command him without any hesitation.

"I want this one, and this one too."

Chao Sheng pointed to several good-looking branches and gestured for Gu Xian to pick them all.

Gu Xian felt no unhappiness at being ordered around; instead, a strange sweetness welled up inside him. "Okay."

He moved quickly. Although Gu Xian looked frail, he was very strong. He picked the vines that Chao Sheng had asked for in one hand.

"Sheng Sheng, is there anything else you want?"

Holding a pile of harvested vines, Gu Xian gently asked Chao Sheng.

Chao Sheng's expression froze slightly, and she pointed somewhat numbly, "Take these two with you too."

He... is not as good as his appearance.

In that instant, Chao Sheng gained a new understanding of the male orcs in the polar seas.

"Hurry up, let's go upstairs as soon as we're done."

"If this isn't fresh, it won't be good."

"Hmm." Gu Xian's beautiful face became more serious. He held the Chunze vine in his arms with one hand, and with the other hand he grabbed the two vines and pulled hard, snapping them in two.

"I'm ready."

Holding the last two vines in his arms, Gu Xian swam towards Chao Sheng with this pile of vines in his arms.

"Okay." Chao Sheng, still slightly surprised, said to Gu Xian, "Let's go then."

Chao Sheng herself didn't slack off either, and also took two Spring Ze Vine.

The spring vines are thick and long, and at first glance they look like sea snakes.

"Ah."

Gu Xian swam alongside Chao Sheng, and even carrying so many heavy spring vines, she didn't seem to have much trouble swimming.

"You probably don't know about Gu Xian, do you?"

"Bai Ni is now a seventh-tier beastman."

"Do you remember he was always sleeping a while ago? I thought something had happened to him, but I didn't expect he was preparing for this advancement."

Gu Xian remained silent throughout the journey, so Chao Sheng casually started a conversation to ease the awkwardness.

Gu Xian tightened his grip on Chun Zeteng, his fingertips turning white from the effort. He had been enjoying his time alone with Chao Sheng, but he secretly bit his lower lip. "So that's how it is."

"congratulations."

His congratulations sounded very forced, but Chao Sheng just assumed it was because he was struggling to carry Chunze Teng and was a little out of breath, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Thank you."

……

When Chao Sheng and Gu Xian came ashore, Xiao Du, along with Bao San and Shan Lan, were already waiting on the shore.

This time, Shanlan and Leopard Three were in much better spirits, their faces beaming with happy smiles, a stark contrast to their gloomy expressions when we first met.

As soon as Shanlan saw Chaosheng and the others come ashore, she waved to them eagerly, "Hey! You're here!"

Then he led Leopard Three and ran in their direction.

Little Du flapped its two fleshy fins and slowly followed behind, wriggling its short, thick tentacles.

Chao Sheng placed the Chunze vine on the ground and smiled at Shan Lan, "Long time no see."

Shanlan's thin cheeks had become a bit rounder, and she seemed to have had a good ten days.

With Leopard Three now having hope of survival, and possessing supernatural abilities and time to spend with her, Shanlan's life is naturally more comfortable than before.

"Thank you." Shanlan was genuinely grateful to the female in front of her. "Leopard Three has been much better these past few days, and his mental sea has not been in turmoil anymore."

"Your kindness to us is so great that we have no way to repay it."

"If you need anything, just let us know." Shanlan remembered what Chaosheng had promised her when she asked him for help.

She would keep her word and would do whatever Chao Shengyou asked.

"it is good."

Chao Sheng didn't refuse. She looked at Bao San and Gu Xian and said, "Let me purify your spiritual seas first."

"We'll talk about it later."

Gu Xian and Bao San knelt behind Chun Ze Teng. The moment they sat down, a bright yellow streak fell from the lush green Chun Ze Teng.

The flames burned the spring vines, slowly raising a thin wisp of smoke. Just a slight sniff made one feel that the impurities in their mind had lessened considerably.

Only after the spring vine had burned out completely did the two male beastmen slowly open their eyes, their gazes brightening slightly.

"This is over."

"The final one will be held in ten days."

"Okay, okay." Shanlan grasped Leopard Three's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you."

She now completely trusts this female and has no doubt about her words.

Gu Xian felt his mental sea relax considerably, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as his meaningful gaze fell on the swaying little octopus. "Little Du."

Hearing his brother call him, the little octopus quickly moved over, "Brother!"

"Brother's done with his business, Little Du, would you like to play here for a while?"

"Hmm?" The little octopus paused, its waving fins snapping, its large, beady eyes flashing with obvious confusion. Play? What's so fun about this?

"If Xiao Du wants to play here, we can add two more fish tonight," Gu Xian continued to coax.

A hint of longing flickered in Xiao Du's eyes, and she cleverly extended three tentacles, "Then I want three."

Gu Xian smiled triumphantly, "Alright, three it is."

After seeing Bao San and Shan Lan off, Chao Sheng turned around and saw Gu Xian and Xiao Du still standing there, so she walked over curiously and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Gu Xian gently pinched Xiao Du's fleshy fin and said, "Xiao Du said he wants to play a little longer."

"Hmm..." Xiao Du's attention was focused on the hand pinching her little ear, and she didn't notice what Gu Xian said at all.

"Oh, I see." Chao Sheng nodded in understanding. Looking at the cute little orange-red creature, she felt a surge of excitement and wished she could reach out and pet it as well.

But since the little octopus's parents were still there, Chao Sheng could only squat down and watch the little octopus. "Did Xiao Du finish all the fish I caught for him last time?"

"Should we go catch a few more?"

Gu Xian's meaningful gaze fell on the little octopus that was about to speak, and he pressed down on it with his fingertip in a threatening gesture, "No need."

“I will hunt for him.”

Looking at the little octopus's soft, bouncy body, which resembled jelly, Chao Sheng's eyes revealed a hint of longing; she also felt like stroking it.

Speaking of which, she seems to have a fluffy pet at home, which should be quite nice to pet. Unfortunately, it seems that Yinxu doesn't like to transform into beast form and mostly stays in human form.

She felt too embarrassed to let someone turn into a polar bear for her to play with.

Thinking of this, Chao Sheng sighed silently in her heart.

Noticing Chao Sheng's gaze, Gu Xian said seemingly unintentionally, "You seem to really like Xiao Du."

"He's so cute."

Hearing Chao Sheng's straightforward praise, the little octopus happily wiggled its two transparent fins. This female has quite good taste.

“That’s how little octopuses are.” His red eyes deepened slightly, and a faint smile played on his pale lips. “If you like, you can find an octopus beastman to be your beast husband.”

"There will be many adorable baby octopuses in Chapter 79 from now on."

　I have something to do today, so there will only be one update.
