Huh? You lost?
Deep Sea lay on the ground, somewhat stunned.
He barely raised his head and looked ahead, seeing the same astonished expressions on Ling Tong and Sister Wan's faces.
Wang Jixuan sat on Deep Sea's back, his left hand forming a Sword Finger pressed against the back of Deep Sea's head. Deep Sea could not muster any strength at all, and only his mechanical arm could barely reach backward.
"Brother Deep Sea, calm down."
Daoist Wang spoke quickly:
"I admit I bear some responsibility for things turning out this way. I didn't expect a Sub-King-Class Special Winged Dragon to suddenly appear and disrupt the plan.
"But it wasn't me who stuffed Red Snake's soul into the crystal core. That was a mechanism already inherent to the Blade Beast Crystal Core itself.
"I'll do my best to help you two in the future... Well, there's actually still a chance for you to have a normal married life... Maybe the definition of 'normal' is a little broad, since your species have fundamentally changed, but your size should be able to make up for it..."
Deep Sea's resolute face was covered in black lines.
Ling Tong and Sister Wan raised their hands and rubbed their foreheads in perfect unison.
Sister Wan laughed and scolded, "You'd have been better off not explaining."
Daoist Wang gave an awkward laugh. "Brother Deep Sea, you're not going to hit me, right?"
"Let me up! I won't hit you!"
"That's good."
Wang Jixuan lightly sprang backward and landed steadily three meters away, retreating behind the little maid.
Peony had already prepared herself to step in and protect her superior.
Deep Sea covered the back of his head as he climbed up, frowning at Wang Jixuan.
Deep Sea hesitated, deciding not to discuss that rather awkward subject.
