"Going to the bottom of the sea to avoid the rain?" Tao Tao looked at He Jiaojiao in confusion. "Won't we get wet anyway if we go into the sea? Why bother?"

He Jiaojiao shook her head. "How could it get wet? Didn't Li Shen give you his mermaid pearl?"

"Mermaid Pearl?" Tao Tao frowned.

"When a mermaid and a female form a pair, they usually give the mermaid pearl to their partner for safekeeping. This also indicates that the man will be faithful to the female for life." He Jiaojiao said, pointing to her heart. Sure enough, a blue pearl mark appeared there. "This is the mermaid pearl Lan Yu gave me. It is because of it that I can breathe freely in the water without getting wet."

Tao Tao carefully looked at the mermaid pearl on He Jiaojiao's chest, then shook her head, "Li Shen never told me about this, so I don't know if I have it on me."

He Jiaojiao was speechless. "You can feel the mermaid pearl entering your body. Close your eyes and feel it."

Following He Jiaojiao's instructions, Tao Tao closed her eyes and felt for a long time, but she was still confused. "I don't feel any shark pearls in my body!"

The feeling of unease grew even stronger, but as long as she wasn't sure, He Jiaojiao didn't intend to say it out loud. After all, she could see that Tao Tao really liked Li Shen.

"It's okay, Li Shen must have forgotten to give it to me!"

Seeing He Jiaojiao's serious expression, Tao Tao couldn't help but smile and said.

"Yeah!" To prevent Tao Tao from overthinking it, He Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree. But this was a long-standing tradition of the mermaids, so how could Li Shen forget it?

unless......

Unless he doesn't really like Tao Tao at all!

He Jiaojiao was shocked by her own idea, but the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She always felt that she should find a way to verify it.

The big ship was built very quickly. The sails were made of many animal skins. The ink dyeing craftsmanship was impeccable and the sails looked very beautiful.

"Jiaojiao, since the boat is ready, shall we set off tomorrow?"

Tao Tao couldn't wait to go sailing on the sea. After all, she had been living on the beach for a few days and she felt a little bored.

"it is good!"

He Jiaojiao readily agreed to go to the Dragon God Continent earlier and find out the Beast God's purpose earlier, so that she could feel at ease sooner.

However, before leaving, He Jiaojiao still had something she wanted to resolve.

"Since this is our last time at the beach, why don't we go swimming? After all, we'll be on the boat the rest of the time."

As they spoke, He Jiaojiao kept watching Li Shen from the corner of her eye, wanting to see how he would react. After all, once they got into the water, the fact that Tao Tao didn't have the mermaid pearl in her body would be revealed.

But strangely, Li Shen didn't seem to react at all, as if he wasn't worried about it at all.

When Tao Tao heard that they were going into the sea, she immediately understood what He Jiaojiao meant, so she came to Li Shen and held his hand, "A Shen, I'm not very good at swimming. I'm worried that I might choke on the water. You have to protect me!"

Li Shen smiled and straightened Tao Tao's hair. "Don't worry, I'm here and won't let that happen."

Tao Tao felt a moment of loss. She thought that since she had made it so obvious, Li Shen would definitely remember that she had forgotten to give her the mermaid pearl. But unexpectedly, Li Shen seemed to be completely unaware of this matter.

Could it be that he is not willing to give the mermaid pearl to himself?

"what happened?"

Seeing that Tao Tao seemed to be worried, Li Shen asked.

"nothing......"

Tao Tao forced a smile and followed He Jiaojiao to the beach.

After a brief warm-up, the two stood at the edge of the deep water area. Tao Tao glanced at Li Shen who had been standing beside them, and then exchanged glances with He Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, how about we have a competition?"

Tao Tao pointed to a reef not far ahead that was exposed above the sea. "Let's see who can swim to that spot first, okay?"

He Jiaojiao was a little worried. They were a little far away from that location, and even if Tao Tao was a good swimmer, she might not be able to swim there.

Could it be that she...

"Tao Tao, that's too far, is it dangerous?"

Tao Tao smiled and said to Li Shen beside her, "Your partners are here, and I have Ah Shen with me, so it will be fine."

Seeing that Tao Tao had made up her mind to test Li Shen, He Jiaojiao didn't know what to say and could only nod and agree.

The competition officially began. The two men jumped forward and swam towards the reef nimbly.

Mo Ran knew that He Jiaojiao was not a very good swimmer, so he followed her all the time. Lan Yu also swam below He Jiaojiao, so that if there was any problem, he could immediately float up and lift He Jiaojiao out of the sea.

"Are you two too nervous? I have the Shark Pearl. Even if I lose my strength and sink, I won't choke!"

He Jiaojiao deliberately spoke loudly, actually to remind Li Shen next door.

Li Shen's face froze when he heard this, and he glanced at Tao Tao who was paddling hard. But Tao Tao seemed not to have heard him and continued swimming hard.

Just when Li Shen was lost in thought, He Jiaojiao screamed.

"Taotao!"

Li Shen hurriedly looked towards Tao Tao's position, but there was no trace of her on the sea. He immediately dived into the sea and saw that Tao Tao was not sinking.

Almost the next second, Li Shen rushed to Tao Tao's side, but when he reached out to pull Tao Tao, she pushed him away.

Seeing that Tao Tao was about to faint from holding her breath, Li Shen became anxious and didn't care about anything else. He went forward and held her in his arms, and helped her breathe without saying a word.

When Tao Tao regained consciousness, she immediately pushed Li Shen away and swam towards the sea surface.

Li Shen felt a sharp pain in his heart. Looking at Tao Tao's back, he always felt as if he had lost something.

Tao Tao, who regained fresh air, was gasping for breath. Seeing that she was the only one coming up, He Jiaojiao hurriedly swam over.

"What happened to you..." When He Jiaojiao got closer, she found that Tao Tao's face was covered with tears. She hurriedly hugged her.

"what happened?"

Tao Tao didn't say anything, but just hugged He Jiaojiao and cried.

"Lan Yu, take us to the reef quickly."

He Jiaojiao was held too tightly by Tao Tao and there was no way she could stay afloat. She wouldn't choke on water, but Tao Tao would, so they had to find a place to land.

The boys on the shore were all there, and Tao Tao didn't want them to see her in this state, so she could only think of going to the reef.

Sitting on the reef, He Jiaojiao was still held by Tao Tao until Li Shen's head emerged from the sea.

"Tao Tao..."

Looking at Tao Tao's red eyes from crying, Li Shen inexplicably felt as if his heart was being grabbed.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again!"

Tao Tao didn't look at him, but just said this coldly.

"No, I won't leave!" Li Shen hurried forward, but was stopped by Mo Ran and Lan Yu. "Tao Tao, listen to my explanation..."
