Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

In fact, she might as well stay in the sea and have some peace and quiet.

"Just... go get what belongs to us."

The lifeless red eyes opened slightly, but the ghost shark still had no expression.

Over the past thousands of years, she has lost all her emotions.

Humans are so disgusting.

Because of the protection of the "Eye of the Sea", thieves can remain safe even if the surrounding winds and waves are strong.

He suddenly felt that he had been very stupid.

Why not give it a try? Why not try to go in the sea yourself?

Otherwise, they would have fled back to Yan State long ago and lived a carefree life.

"It's really... fate playing tricks on me..."

Drifting on the sea, the thieves had no food or water, and the cabin could not withstand the howling sea breeze. They were starving and cold.

He felt that he was about to die, perhaps from exhaustion or starvation.

With no other options, the thieves could only scoop sea water into containers on the boat and force themselves to drink it.

The sea water has a strong fishy and salty smell, like the taste of rotten eggs, and it is very difficult to drink.

After drinking it, the thief's stomach churned and he felt like vomiting.

Feeling even thirstier.

A light blue translucent tentacle climbed up the ship's string, followed by the second and third...

The thief felt the ship begin to tilt. At first he thought it was caused by the sea breeze and did not pay much attention to it. However, the ship tilted more and more, as if something was pressing on it.

"Water monster?"

The image of a huge monster with a long neck, similar to a dinosaur, flashed through the thief's mind.

He had never seen monsters like that, but he couldn't be 100% sure that they didn't exist.

He protected the "Eye of the Sea" in his arms, picked up the dagger at his feet and turned around.

Standing at the stern was a girl who was soaking wet. She was wearing a retro long skirt with water still dripping from the hem.

So...it was this girl who caused the ship to tilt just now?

Where did she come from and how did she climb up are all unsolved mysteries.

"Girl... who are you?"

Seeing the girl's unfriendly eyes, the thief couldn't help but become alert.

If someone comes to steal the "Eye of the Sea", I may not be able to knock him down.

Ghost Shark is too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Human, you stole my things."

Her eyes were fixed on the bulge in the thief's pocket.

The thief snorted.

"Little girl, this is not a comic convention. It's not suitable for cosplay. Go home and play."

How could a grown man like me be afraid of a pale, sickly-looking little girl?

Hearing the ghost shark's weak voice, the thief felt proud.

"call--"

Ghost Shark sighed.

If he had handed over the boring human being obediently, he might still have a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, it’s gone now.

"Human, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

She began to chant a spell, and tentacles began to grow behind her, dancing restlessly.

The thief took a big step back in fear.

word God, what the hell is this?

Squid girl?

He had never heard of this thing.

The tentacles stretched out in the direction of the thief, quickly binding him up and gradually tightening.

"Who...are you?"

The thief had difficulty breathing as he looked at the monster girl of unknown origin.

The tentacles squeezed his chest so hard that all the air inside was gone.

His face flushed and he couldn't move.

Another tentacle pulled out of the thief's pocket the thing he had sworn to protect with his life - the "Eye of the Sea".

The ghost shark took it from the tentacle and looked at it in his hand.

Looking at my own heart, I have a very strange feeling.

"This is my heart. You stole my things..."

The ghost shark put away the treasure and extended its thickest tentacle.

"I will accept your heart."

She sneered, and the tip of the tentacle turned into a sharp blade and stabbed into the thief's chest.

The piercing pain paralyzed the thief's body.

He spat out blood from his mouth.

"Are you... the... Demon King... the Ghost Shark?"

The thief asked the last question of his life.

The girl kept saying that this thing was her heart, and there was only one possibility - she had encountered the underwater devil who destroyed an entire city-state.

"You got it right, so you must die."

The tentacles tore the heart out forcefully, and the ghost shark sniffed the heart's smell, which was so foul.

"What a dirty heart. I can't eat it. I'll just throw it away."

The heart was thrown into the sea, along with the thief's body.

A group of sharks smelled the blood, swarmed over, and tore the heart and body into pieces.

The thief stared with unwillingness, and turned into food in the shark's belly.

The Ghost Shark returned to the bottom of the sea with the recovered "Eye of the Sea" and handed it over to the Lord of Saltwind City.

"Next time...if something like this happens again, I won't bother to care."

She yawned and felt that life was still so boring.

Everyone in Saltwind City is grateful to Ghost Shark.

Well, compared to all this, it would be better to have some sleep and feel better.

That very night, the strong winds and heavy rain that had lasted for a long time suddenly stopped, and the clear night sky returned to the public's sight.

People saw the moon and stars for the first time in a long time.

"It's a nice day today, let's go out for a walk."

Kelushier pushed open the bedroom door, and a few rays of sunlight shone in from the door and fell on Feng Qingyu's back.

It was warm, but unfortunately her heart had already turned cold.

She stayed in the room for several days, without moving a step, just sitting in the corner.

In his hand was the amulet given by Kal'tsit, a very exquisite amulet.

This was the first and last thing Kal'tsit gave her.

In the past few days, Feng Qingyu felt that he had become an empty shell.

Whenever I think of what that guy said and my own memories, my heart aches.

"Damn it... it's impossible to forget you."

Now that I think about it, Kal'tsit was pretty nice to me.

Looking at Feng Qingyu who was sitting there in silence, Keluchil felt a little lonely.

He said that he cared about her a lot, and would probably accompany her as soon as he got off work and handle official business in the bedroom.

That guy didn't want to go anywhere and occupied her bedroom, so Klushier had to sleep in the side room.

I am a person who is very particular about my bed. I suffered from insomnia for several days...

The dead cannot be resurrected, so why can't we cherish the people around us, like her.

"Um... I don't really want to move..."

Feng Qingyu lowered his head and spoke in a casual tone.

Just stay here and slowly die. I am a scum who is self-righteous and brings trouble to others.

"Forget it... I don't care about you."

Koluchil flicked her sleeves and turned away.

In the current situation, I feel like I'm just trying to get something for nothing.

"Feng Qingyu, the answer you are looking for is at the bottom of the sea in Yanfeng City."

She patted Feng Qingyu's shoulder and stopped talking.

The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, so this is all she can say. As for the rest, Feng Qingyu has to figure it out on his own.

"Sea... seabed..."

It is a familiar yet unfamiliar title.

While working hard for others, I sacrificed the person I loved, but in the end... the mission was still not completed and the thief still slipped away right under my nose.

However, what Kluchil said was not nonsense without reason.

Maybe... there really is something I want there.

"I'm going to... I'm going to see what she meant by 'the answer'."

Under the sea of ​​Saltwind City.

"Father, I have preserved the girl's body using the secret technique of the sea tribe as requested."

The city lord's daughter was puzzled about the origins of this human girl.

Not long ago, they received an oracle from a god, which said that the girl would become the wife of the "destined man" and that although she was dead, her body must be properly preserved.

That god has a very close relationship with the God of Creation, so the Lord of Yanfeng City certainly didn't dare to treat the oracle as a joke.

Then, Feng Qingyu came.

She looked very haggard, as if she had lost something important.

"Someone told me... here is the answer I want."

She looked into the distance with confused eyes, thinking about the "answer".

The city lord's daughter didn't say anything, but she probably understood in her heart that this guy was the so-called "man of destiny" because the death of that girl turned out like this.

She brought Feng Qingyu to the underwater secret chamber where Kal'tsit's body was kept.

The temperature in the secret room is lower than outside, and the principle is similar to that of an ice cellar.

Kal'tsit was lying on the bed in the middle.

Pale, cold body, without blood.

"Got you……"
