“I had tried to stop him,” Melinda glanced at Gu Mengmeng, then at Elvis and did not continue.

  Gu Mengmeng choked.

  With narrowed eyes, she asked Melinda, “So you arranged those mermaids yesterday……”


  Melinda nodded and said, :They are the outstanding mermaids whom I have picked out and they are willing to use their lives to exchange for a kiss from you.” whom

  Gu Mengmeng did not know what to say.

  She really pitied Fei Rui, but other people’s lives are still lives……

  As though she knew what Gu Mengmeng had thought about, Melinda held Gu Mengmeng’s hands and said, “I know that I was being selfish, but if I could…… I really did not wish the person to die to be my elder brother, so I prepared all those……”


  Gu Mengmeng shook her head and replied, “I’m not blaming you.”


  Yes, she did not have the right to criticize Melinda. Didn’t she also sacrifice Miranda’s children to protect her own child?

  At one’s most desperate moments, their human nature would reveal itself to be a selfish one.

  Gu Mengmeng looked at Melinda’s face. It was still forcing a smile despite the blood filaria forming in her eyes. It made her unable to blame her further and could only sigh heavily, “You should have told me beforehand, maybe I could stop Fei Rui?”


  Melinda shook her head with a forced smile and said, “If there was no one to swallow the poisonous shellfish king to suck the Kiss of the Ocean, this pearl would continue to release poisonous fog and attract all the other poisonous shellfish in the sea. When the poison has dispersed, the black pearl would become an ordinary pearl…… The Kiss of the Ocean would then cease to exist. So, there needs to be someone willing to sacrifice their life and allow the Kiss of the Ocean to be sucked back into the poisonous shellfish king. This will allow the poisonous shellfish king to continue nurturing the pearl, so that when the next Messenger of the Beast Deity returns a millennium later, the Kiss of the Ocean would still be there.”


  There has never been a special power that would be activated for no reason. There always has to be someone silently paying the price for the benefit that a person enjoys.

  Only that this price has been kept a secret and you did not know.

  And when this price becomes presented so explicitly right before your eyes, you will then learn to feel guilty.

  With her hands holding her chest, Gu Mengmeng looked at Fei Rui, who was curled up like a baby in deep sleep. She watched, while concerned about whether his body would rot because of the poisonous fog. Eventually, it completely disappeared and became a puddle of black liquid.

  In the center of the water, there was a very small shell that was half a finger high, two fingers wide, and it was slightly opened, as the poisonous fog was slowly sucked in.

  Fei Rui did not leave any corpse behind.

  His flesh had become the nutrients for the poisonous shellfish king and to nourish the Kiss of the Ocean.

  The poisonous shell that had initially surrounded the Kiss of the Ocean seemed to be attracted by the poisonous shellfish king and stuck to it like a magnet, forming a strange object that was fused together.

  Then, Gu Mengmeng saw the cracklines forming on the shell that was sucked to the poisonous shellfish king, followed by a series of cracking sounds.

  The poisonous shell shattered into bits and sank into the deep sea, disappearing in the bottomless darkness.

  The flesh of the shellfish gradually turned into a black liquid, just like Fei Rui, after losing its shell, and it was slowly taken into the poisonous shellfish king.

  All the poisonous fog could be seen sucked into the poisonous shellfish king, then the poisonous shellfish king slowly released new poisonous fog around itself.

  As the poisonous shellfish king sank deeper, Gu Mengmeng tried to follow it down.
