"I didn't, you misunderstood." Bai Zhenxi picked up the box on the ground and put it back on the table.

Chi Li approached him and asked, "What are you doing here so late? It's hard not to think too much."

Bai Zhenxi retreated step by step as Chi Li approached. He said, "This is my room, and it was you who clearly told the clan leader that..."

It seemed difficult to say it, so Bai Zhenxi turned his face away and stopped looking at her.

"What?" Chi Li asked.

"Shouldn't you hate me? Why do you want me to accompany you?" Bai Zhenxi looked at her with complicated eyes.

Chi Li lifted his white hair and said with a smile: "Who said I hate you?"

"The clan leader said that you are the Demon King who hates white and only likes black." Bai Zhenxi dodged her hand.

"That was in the past. Now I like white the best." Chi Li said with a smile.

Bai Zhenxi lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was firm, as if he had made some kind of resolution: "I am willing to accompany you. Can you unlock the seal of the water tribe?"

"Tell me what the seal is? I can't remember it anymore." Chi Li really wanted to agree to him, but she was not sure if she had the ability to break the seal.

Bai Zhenxi thought she was teasing him, but he still said, "You were furious at the betrayal of the Water Tribe, so you sealed them in the sea and they can never leave."

"Aren't fish supposed to live in the sea?" Chi Li said, looking at Bai Zhenxi's tail.

"We have legs, and it's because of your curse that the fish tail turned into legs." Bai Zhenxi said angrily.

"Am I so strong?" Chi Li couldn't wait to recover his magic power.

Bai Zhenxi frowned as if he was extremely distressed. He was waiting for an answer.

"I lost to you. If I had the ability, I would definitely unlock the seal." Chi Li said. She wanted to reach out and smooth the worry between Bai Zhenxi's brows, but she forced herself to hold it back.

"What do you mean?" Bai Zhenxi refused to eat the pancake.

"My magic is ineffective. I need water lotus." Chi Li told him directly.

Bai Zhenxi somehow felt that she was not lying, but he had never heard of such a thing as water lotus.

"I'll go back and ask the clan leader?" Bai Zhenxi said.

"Let's not talk about this for now. From what you said, the patriarch gave you to me, right?" Chi Li walked forward and pushed him into a corner.

Bai Zhenxi clung to the wall like a frightened deer. He didn't dare look directly into Chi Li's fiery eyes, as if a single glance would devour him. So, he silently lowered his head, his gaze settling on his toes, as if that was the only place he felt safe.

Chi Li unceremoniously slid her hand up Bai Zhenxi's waist. The movement was as gentle as a breeze brushing against a zither string, but for Bai Zhenxi it was like a thunderclap exploding inside his body. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Finally, Chi Li's finger stopped at a key position, and then he whispered, "Let me see what you can do?" This sentence seemed to carry an irresistible magic, which instantly accelerated Bai Zhenxi's heartbeat to the extreme.

The next day, Bai Zhenxi moved gently and got out of bed cautiously, afraid of waking the woman who was sleeping beside him. His eyes revealed a hint of shyness, as if he was still immersed in the memories of last night.

He walked over to the water mirror and stared at his reflection, only to see a faint blush and shallow scratches covering his neck and chest. These marks reminded him of the passionate moment last night, and his face suddenly flushed, red like a ripe apple.

How could that woman be so skilled? She seemed to be in control of the entire process, while he was completely passive.

An unfamiliar sour feeling surged in his heart, and Bai Zhenxi tried hard to suppress this strange emotion. He took a deep breath and covered up the marks on his body.

He straightened his appearance and tried to appear normal. However, despite his outward calm, deep within, the turmoil was difficult to calm. Bai Zhenxi knew that this experience would become an indelible memory in his heart, and that the excessive woman would leave a deep mark on his heart...

Bai Zhenxi went to the main hall with a heavy heart. He wanted to ask the patriarch about the water lotus.

"Brother Xi~" the beauty with golden fishtail called out shyly.

Bai Zhenxi stopped and smiled politely: "Xiao Jin, is the clan leader in the main hall?"

"Dad is in the main hall. What do you want to see him about? Actually, you can tell me if you have something to say. I will definitely get it done for you." Xiao Jin said in a low voice while gently shaking his tail.

"No, thank you." Bai Zhenxi thanked him and continued walking forward.

Xiao Jin followed behind him and walked with him: "Brother Xi, I suddenly remembered that I also need to ask Dad something, let's go together."

"Yeah." Bai Zhenxi responded coldly.

Xiao Jin didn't mind Bai Zhenxi's coldness. She chattered all the way to liven up the atmosphere and didn't feel embarrassed even if no one came to support her.

"You are here, how is it? Is the Demon King satisfied?" For the first time, the patriarch directly ignored his beloved daughter.

Bai Zhenxi nodded with a pale and red face, as if he was unable to speak. He turned his head to look at Xiao Jin behind him, indicating that he had something to say to the patriarch alone.

Xiao Jin couldn't understand, but the clan leader did. He certainly knew what his daughter was thinking. To stop her from thinking about it, the clan leader said, "If you spend more time serving the Demon King, if he's in a good mood, he might give you a title. Then our Water Tribe will have a backer."

Before Bai Zhenxi could react, Xiao Jin flashed over to the clan leader. Her face pale as she asked, "What do you mean? What's your status?"

"Xiao Jin, Xiaobai is now close to the Demon King. Don't be so startled. Go out first." The patriarch said with his back turned.

Xiao Jin wanted to say something, but the clan leader turned around and glared at her. The eldest daughter, who had never suffered any injustice since childhood, was frightened. She suppressed her explosive heart and walked out.

After Xiao Jin left, Bai Zhenxi asked, "Chief, do you know about water lotus?"

The clan leader looked at him in surprise and asked, "Did the Demon King tell you? What does the Demon King mean? Could it be..."

"Her magic has failed, and she needs the water lotus to restore her magic power." Bai Zhenxi interrupted the patriarch's guess.

"The water lotus is a treasure of my clan, but now that flower can no longer be called a water lotus."

The patriarch walked towards the cabinet beside him as he spoke. He opened the cabinet door inlaid with blue gems and rummaged inside. After an unknown amount of time, he took out a round gem that exuded black magic.

"This is..." Bai Zhenxi took the gem and guessed that this should be the medium to find the water lotus.
