Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After Lan Aode finished his speech, Qi Yu left a message for her to wait for him there and then disappeared.

She could guess what he was going to do, and it just so happened that she also had some small things to do.

He pretended to walk unintentionally to the podium where Lan Od had been standing before, and when the sommelier passed by with Dionysus, he left a "small gift" for him.

Since Qi Yu wanted to do it himself, she would not interfere, but it would be too easy for him to die so easily in the wine.

It would be better to let him experience the pain of having his skin and tendons whipped out.

A trace of mental power was attached to the wine bottle. Once Lan Od touched or appeared near the wine, this trace of mental power would invade him, making him feel the extreme torture clearly whether he was awake or asleep.

Let him tear his own flesh and blood without feeling any pain until he dies.

Thinking about Qi Yu’s plan, I don’t know if minced meat soaked in wine will taste good?

She walked back to her original position with some bad thoughts in her mind.

After a while, Qi Yu came over.

"Awaited."

"Nothing happened to you just now, right?"

Qi Yu shrugged and said, "What could happen? There are so many people here." He took her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Xia Jiumeng looked at him with some concern. "Are you... okay?"

"of course."

Qi Yu walked forward naturally and held her hand.

"Qi Yu, it's a bit stuffy here, shall we go back and rest?"

"No." Qi Yu looked up at the window. A muffled thunder sounded and a silver-white light appeared in the sky.

"I want to go to the beach."

Xia Jiumeng nodded when she heard this and let him take her to the beach.

In the dark night, the waves beat against the shore, layer by layer, soon reaching above the ankles.

Qi Yu took out a small bottle from his pocket, and there was a faint light flickering inside.

"Scales?"

She instantly understood what Qi Yu had just done.

Qi Yu shook the small bottle in his hand and said to her, "Do you remember what I said?"

“Life born from the sea will eventually return to the sea and have a more immortal life in the sea.”

A ball of soft fire appeared at Qi Yu's fingertips, gently wrapping the bottle, and then he squatted down and placed it on top of a rising wave.

The sea water pushed it away from the shore until the little fire disappeared into the junction of the sea and the sky, and gradually sank into the deep sea.

"He was the one who sent me away from here a long time ago."

"He only left money for a meal and drinks for himself. The rest was used to buy two safe identities for me and the old butler, and... two tickets for a long journey."

Qi Yu looked at the sea.

"I think I sent him off properly this time."

Xia Jiumeng: "Of course."

Maybe I will come back again.

Qi Yu turned to look at her and invited her, "Want to dance?"

During the dancing at the dinner party, neither she nor Qi Yu participated, but just stood quietly at the edge and watched.

Facing his outstretched hand, Xia Jiumeng placed her hand in his palm, allowing him to interlock their fingers and guide her to dance along with his steps.

I don’t know when it started to drizzle, but they didn’t stop dancing, letting their clothes get soaked and covered by sea water.

Qi Yu leaned close to her ear and said in a hoarse and low voice, "There are too many things in this world that can easily make people lose themselves. Once you sink into them, you will be swallowed up."

"I have to find a connection."

"Plop." A muffled sound of falling into the sea.

It was not known who lost their balance first, and they fell into the sea together.

She was swallowed by the cold and wet boundless sea water, but the next moment a warm touch pushed aside the icy sea water around her and came close to her.

Qi Yu grabbed her waist in panic and pulled her out of the water before she fell.

He said nothing, just rested his head on her shoulder, and they snuggled together in the dark water, rising and falling with the rhythm of the waves.

"You must hold on to me." He looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.

"Yeah." I will definitely hold on tightly.

......

When they returned to the apartment, they looked very disheveled because they had been caught in the rain and soaked in sea water for half a day.

After taking a taxi, the driver kept looking back.

After finally arriving at the apartment, Qi Yu discovered that his key seemed to be missing.

"Maybe it fell into the sea at that time..." Qi Yu was a little annoyed.

Xia Jiumeng: "...."

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Her fingers flashed a golden-red light, and the next second the door of the apartment opened automatically.

Qi Yu curiously pulled her hand up to look at it.

"Can your ability imitate anything?"

Isn’t this an advanced version of resonance?

Can properties be changed freely without any medium?

His bride is indeed the most powerful!

"Not really. It can simulate natural properties and some special properties."

This is equivalent to a person having at least 6-7 superpowers, and all of them have the same level and power.

This ability is both a foul and a cheat.

"That's amazing." Qi Yu praised sincerely.

"Well, come in, I want to take a shower." Xia Jiumeng's old face turned red.

*

After Qi Yu and I had a quick wash, they went to bed together.

Perhaps Qi Yu was really a little drunk, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after. However, because he was worried, his brows were still furrowed even in his sleep.

Xia Jiumeng sighed.

Qi Yu has shouldered so much over the years to become what he is today from the sunny and cheerful little sea god.

It made her feel so distressed.

She has to try harder.

When Qi Yu’s birthday comes, she will give him the most unique gift.

As for the necklace originally prepared for him, it had been destroyed by her, but he got a huge surprise instead.

And she was ready to make that surprise a reality.

Putting their foreheads together, she whispered, "Qi Yu, don't be sad. Everything will be fine. Just... give me some more time."

After all, if she wanted to do that, she would have to pay a considerable price, but she was willing to do it.

...

40 minutes ago

Qi Yu was taking a shower in the bathroom and told her not to wait for him because he might take a long time.

Xia Jiumeng, who was leaning on the dark blue bed, received Xiaoqi's call.

[Xiao Qi: Master, I have already analyzed that sentence.]

It's a great experience, it's a mermaid, it's a mermaid, it's a puissant, it's a miséricordieux, it's a challenge, it's a challenge, it's a challenge, it's a challenge.

The translated meaning is: "Born in the sea, we return to the sea. The sea god is powerful and kind. She will accept every tribe member who returns to her embrace, love them, and give them a new life."

"New student?" Xia Jiumeng kept pondering this sentence, with thoughts running wild in her mind.

Her original idea was to help Qi Yu save the Lemurians and then fight for their right to survive in the surface world, nothing more.

But after seeing the miserable condition of those mermaids and Qi Yu's "teacher", she changed her mind.

It shouldn't be like this.

They are also intelligent beings, and most of them are even kind and simple. They should not have ended up in such a miserable way.

What Qi Yu said at the beach suddenly popped into her mind and strangely overlapped with the ancient saying in front of her.

“Life born from the sea will eventually return to the sea and have a more immortal life in the sea.”

"Born in the sea, returning to the sea... The sea god gives new life..."

The next moment, Xia Jiumeng's frown relaxed instantly.

“So that’s how it is…” No wonder every Lemurian has to return to the ocean after death.

How can I get the love and new life given by the sea god if I don’t return to the ocean?

Seeing that she stopped thinking, Xiao Qi spoke again.

"Master, in addition to that sentence, we also compared and analyzed and synthesized a pattern plate similar to a totem. Take a look."

Xiao Qi projected the patterned disk in front of Xia Jiumeng.

A smaller disc overlaps on the circular totem, with time, sun and moon overlapping on it, and in the middle is a small red fish, just like the contract on Qi Yu's heart.

Xia Jiumeng's eyes fell on the tiny ancient words on the edge of the disc.

If the sea god wants to grant his people a new life, he must first have them return to the ocean, and secondly, he must bestow blessings upon them with divine power. This requires a considerable amount of energy.

Even if Qi Yu inherited the complete power of the Sea God, it would be difficult for him to provide this array with the ability to grant new life.

Then we need foreign aid.

The power to replenish divine strength is not easy to find, as the power level itself is not at the same level.

There is a golden ball of light in her space that can be replenished, but she cannot touch it now. That area is a space that can only be unlocked by SS-level mental power.

The last time I was able to take them out was because there were a few that were scattered around the edges that I hadn't had time to put away.

So she had to think of other ways.

I don't know if the power of the ether core is enough...

If it really doesn't work, let the quantitative change lead to qualitative change.

I don’t know if I’ll go bankrupt [even though I wasn’t that rich to begin with.]

While she was thinking about how to raise money for Qi Yu and regain the power of the Sea God, she didn't notice that the 'she' in the self-rotating disc was not the other one.

This also caused Qi Yu to suffer a Waterloo in his life after he was so moved that he didn't dare to go out and see people for a long time, and was even ridiculed by those "rivals in love" for a long time.

Back to the present, Xia Jiumeng gently kissed Qi Yu on the forehead and then snuggled up to him, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
