Under the Red Moon's corrosion, the sea beast orderlies Lin Qiye had summoned earlier had begun to lose their minds. The Lantern Fish could no longer protect Jialan, who had no ability to defend herself, in the deep sea. Thus, Lin Qiye had no choice but to use The Sky's Poet again after a long time, allowing Jialan to survive at the Bottom of the Deep Sea.
At times like this, the benefits of having many abilities became apparent.
Seeing Jialan return to normal, Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned at Jialan lying on his back and spoke with feigned anger:
"Giving me immortality here? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Jialan spoke somewhat aggrievedly. "Didn't you say I should adapt to the situation... I couldn't just watch you die here."
Lin Qiye was left speechless.
After a moment, he still shook his head and cautioned her, "Don't ever do that again. It's too dangerous."
Jialan buried her head against his back without saying anything.
"Did you hear me?" Lin Qiye's tone became firmer.
"Okay..." Jialan answered softly.
"Take back the immortality."
"No."
"Take it back!"
"No!" Jialan paused, then murmured as quietly as a mosquito, "If I take it back, he'll kill you..."
Lin Qiye froze.
Dense vortices of lightning surged through the seawater. Above the dim ocean depths, Chen Yangrong had forced half his body out of the stomach wall. His eyes were scarlet as he looked down at the gradually sinking Lin Qiye with a savage sneer.
Feeling the warmth at his back, Lin Qiye fell silent for a moment. He gently placed his hand over Jialan's hand, which was tightly wrapped around his waist, and his voice softened slightly:
"Then once I kill him, you'll take it back, okay?"
"...Mm."
Lin Qiye
