Men Fear the Hollow at the Waist, Women Fear the Dimples

You Su's eyes widened, and she subconsciously used her hands to support herself back.

As soon as the woman opened her eyes, they shone with a light as bright as stars. These should have been a pair of brilliant eyes that could see into people's hearts, but the woman's long eyelashes trembled, revealing a kind of natural foolishness.

Not only do her eyes clash with her overall aura, but her entire face appears both delicate and youthful. Though described as a woman, she actually looks more like a girl in her early teens, yet the exquisiteness of her features immediately convinces one that this girl will one day become a stunning beauty.

You Su had seen countless beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, and regardless of their temperament, their faces were exquisite. But the girl before him was different; her exquisiteness could only be described as magnificent. Although the girl wore no makeup whatsoever, her budding face was already more radiant and three-dimensional than those heavily made-up mature women.

This kind of beauty is intense, unlike any other woman You Su has ever seen. The moment you see her, you can tell that she is not a gentle woman nurtured by the fertile land of the Central Continent or the water towns of Nanyang.

This unique beauty You Su, has only been seen on one other person's face before.

That was none other than Ganlong Venerable had recently tried to kill him!

But as beautiful as she was, how could she be so beautiful as to frighten You Su to the point of losing his mind? The real reason that terrified him was that this slightly immature face bore a striking resemblance to the incomparably radiant Ganlong Venerable!

So at first glance, You Su mistook him for the ruthless Ganlong Venerable!

"I... I didn't slack off..."

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and the girl rubbed her eyes as she sat up from You Su's lap. She had been dozing in You Su's arms, but after sitting up, she was straddling You Su's waist.

You Su's gaze unconsciously moved down from that face, and immediately turned into something unsuitable for children!

The girl seemed to be dressed in light, her skin coated with a faint halo, adding to her softness and mystery.

He quickly turned his head away and closed his eyes tightly, instinctively avoiding this extremely painful spring light.

Driven by both physical and psychological fear, he frantically reached out his hands, trying to push away the girl who had suddenly appeared so he could escape.

The moment he pushed the girl away, a sweet moan rang out.

As if electrocuted You Su withdrew his hands again, his speed even more swift than when he pulled the sword from the enemy's chest!

Even though they parted after a brief touch, the lingering warmth and soft touch remained in You Su's hands.

You Su hurriedly rubbed his clothes with his hands, silently apologizing.

What are you doing?

The girl plopped down on the ground, her face rosy, her eyes fixed resentfully on You Su, who dared not look at her.

He then rubbed the spot where You Su had roughly hurt him, and muttered softly:

"I told you not to touch my stomach..."

Abdomen??

You Su was completely puzzled.

Now that the girl was free, he was able to calm down.

How could this strangely appearing girl complain about her stomach hurting from the spot he accidentally bumped? And why did her complaint sound exactly like Bai Ze's?! Add to that her previous behavior and words... and most importantly, her soft voice is exactly the same as Bai Ze's!

Despite his disbelief, You Su had to admit that the girl who looked exactly like the Ganlong Venerable was most likely the stupid cat Bai Ze in disguise!

You Su was so shocked that she almost doubted whether this was an illusion. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but none of them could explain the incredible scene before her.

But there was no time for him to think it over; the sense of crisis that pulled him back to reality from his Mistress's side intensified!

A powerful evil spirit is approaching!

He suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently in one direction.

In that direction, countless vein-like blood vessels were baring their fangs and claws. Beyond the blood vessels was a large, nauseatingly dark green liquid.

The Bloodlines are intercepting the intruder's invasion!

"See? It's not that I'm being lazy and not protecting you. It's because they were subdued by this Divine Beast, so they've taken the initiative to protect us. I don't need to lift a finger at all."

Bai Ze's voice rang out behind You Su, full of a desire for credit and an attempt to shirk responsibility.

You Su's lips twitched. Of course he knew that these bloodlines hadn't been subdued by Bai Ze, but by him.

So before he lost consciousness, he only ordered Bai Ze not to run around, and didn't ask Bai Ze to protect him at all, because staying in place and being protected by those blood lines was the safest thing to do.

The moment he slew the giant eye, he immediately sensed the presence of those blood lines. Just as when he killed Black Sea Moon and inherited its power, he also inherited the Sea of Consciousness it left behind. These blood lines were something that came with the giant eye. Therefore, before You Su lost consciousness, he gave these living, troublesome blood lines the order to protect him.

Judging from Bai Ze's words, these blood lines were indeed made in this way.

But it's clear they're almost out of control! That's why they sent a danger signal to You Su!

We need to hurry and help!

You Su immediately tried to get up and head towards the direction the intruders were coming from, but as soon as he stood up, his legs went weak and he knelt down, almost falling face-first into the mud.

Having fused with the Tai Sui Power, You Su's physical regeneration ability was beyond imagination. During his brief period of unconsciousness, without any external assistance from medicine, his broken legs had already regained some sensation. You Su could even feel his shattered leg bones growing back at an alarming rate. This self-healing ability, capable of regenerating broken bones, was truly heaven-defying.

However, the Tai Sui Power is ultimately limited. Such severe injuries require a certain amount of time to heal. Otherwise, with unlimited self-healing, You Su could do whatever he wanted.

"Why are you being so stubborn... Come on up."

Bai Ze spoke reluctantly, then walked up to You Su squatted down with his back to her.

In her view, she had already been taken advantage of by You Su once, so what difference would a second time make?

You Su was anxious, and when he heard Bai Ze offer to let him ride, he was ready to get up and mount the "horse" as soon as possible. But as soon as he looked up, he saw Bai Ze's smooth, delicate, and curvaceous back, and his pupils involuntarily contracted for a moment at the sight.

If there's any resemblance between this human form of Bai Ze and Bai Ze's original form, it's probably the stunningly beautiful back that left such a deep impression on You Su. The perfectly proportioned fullness and slender frame, along with the two eye-catching dimples on its back, are like the finishing touch, giving this perfect back a natural, alluring charm. Just like Bai Ze's original form, it always evokes an urge to ride on it.

No wonder there's an old saying that "men fear back dimples, and women fear cheek dimples." In the art world, there are even masters who refer to back dimples as "sacred dimples."

Even with his vast experience appreciating beauty, You Su had to admit that this beautiful back was the most stunning. What was even more astonishing was that Bai Ze hadn't even reached maturity yet...

This made You Su unconsciously think of the Ganlong Venerable. That woman was dressed in elaborate and gorgeous clothes, yet she still stood tall and straight. She must have had an incomparably beautiful back and waist.

Unfortunately, You Su was not blinded by lust; he could still distinguish who could carry him and who couldn't.

"Change back to normal first." You Su turned her head slightly, not daring to look any further.

"Turn back to normal? Turn back into a cat?"

Bai Ze was a little confused by You Su's words. He turned around and saw that You Su was not looking at him, as if she were some kind of vicious monster that could not be looked at directly. So he spread his hands and looked her over as well.

Upon seeing her own body for the first time, Bai Ze let out a sharp, explosive sound. It seemed that even she herself hadn't realized she had transformed into this form—a human.

In the next instant, a flash of white light appeared, and a burly Divine Beast reappeared in the crimson space. It sat on the ground, its divine appearance extraordinary.

Bai Ze quickly looked down at himself again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that everything was normal.

Seeing the blood lines ahead crumble inch by inch, it became extremely anxious and urged them on:

"I'm back to normal! Now hurry up and get on my way!"

Bai Ze thought to himself, although he had allowed You Su to ride it, he couldn't always be the one to ask her to ride it.

Now that You Su had regained some mobility, she was able to climb up its sloping back.

"Big sister... you've sat down next to me..."

You Su struggled and cried out, and only then did Bai Ze notice that there was a strange object sitting under his buttocks.

It quickly stood up, feeling deeply ashamed at the sight of You Su's pitiful, almost crushed appearance.

"I didn't mean to..."

Bai Ze lowered his head and spoke softly.

You Su felt that no one had ever been used as a cushion by Divine Beast before. He rubbed his face and helplessly commanded:

"Carry me up!"

Bai Ze immediately obeyed the order, picked up You Su again, tossed her head, and casually tossed her onto his back before speeding off towards the battlefield.

You Su sat on Bai Ze's back and shook her head, still finding everything that had just happened unbelievable.

He, who was used to teasing Bai Ze, had just wanted to complain, "I told you to let me wash your butt clean when you take a bath, but you won't let me, it stinks!" But that was something he'd said to a naive and mischievous kitten. Now that he knew his Divine Beast could transform into a human, he was embarrassed to say it, especially since he remembered that he had actually bathed Bai Ze before, and more than once.

It was true that he deliberately made a false accusation to anger Bai Ze, because he would always forcefully drag Bai Ze to wash the kitten thoroughly so that it would smell nice when it crawled into bed...

The closer you get to that web of blood lines, the clearer you can see the intruder's appearance.

It was a soft-bodied creature the size of a house, with a pair of tentacles of different lengths on its head, each tipped with a pure white, spherical object resembling an eyeball. Apart from that, its body had no distinct outline; what clearly defined the edges of this disgusting body were those dull green hues, which seemed to dance on its skin like countless tiny stars.

Regardless of its level of horror, this shell-less snail-like evil spirit ranks among the most disgusting of all the evil spirits You Su has ever seen.

In the comprehensive encyclopedia of evil spirits drawn by the Evil Warding Department, this type of evil spirit was specifically classified as "Yan You," which is also known as "snot worm" in folk terms because their bodies are covered with mucus-like secretions.

And these dark green starlight are the slime from this giant centipede.

In fact, these blood threads were extremely troublesome, and You Su and Bai Ze could not deal with them head-on, so they finally chose to capture the leader first. However, these blood threads could not stop the centipede, simply because the mucus on its body was extremely corrosive, and the blood threads would turn into bright red pus the moment they came into contact with it. This also allowed it to roam freely here as if it were in an empty place.

What do we do?

Bai Ze was worried, its tone somewhat timid, clearly showing great fear of the disgusting slime on the evil spirit's body.

You Su also frowned deeply. He originally wanted to forcefully overdraw his sword intent to kill this evil spirit, but he felt that his body was depleted, as if he had been squeezed dry by his junior and senior sisters. At this moment, the sword intent he could gather probably could not penetrate these viscous fluids.

Seeing the centipede getting closer and closer, Bai Ze said urgently:

"Should we run away?"

"This place is shrouded in black mist and Evil Demon. Where can I run to? I'm not in good shape. At least here I have no worries about my safety, and these bloodlines protect me. Escaping would probably only lead to certain death."

Bai Ze was so anxious upon hearing this that it was only when You Su grabbed its shoulder fur that it stopped the bewildered creature.

You Su also found it strange; why did this centipede choose this particular time to invade?

"While I was unconscious, did you see any other evil spirits invading this place?"

Bai Ze quickly replied, not forgetting to prove his innocence. "Of course! I didn't go to sleep immediately after you fell asleep! But they were all blocked by the red line, and this seems too powerful..."

"I was dragged all the way here and didn't encounter a single evil spirit. Why are they all suddenly appearing now?"

You Su felt there was a conspiracy behind this, and was about to fall into deep thought when he heard Bai Ze say resentfully:

"They must have known Big Eyes was dead, so they all came to take over the territory!"

These words were like a wake-up call, instantly bringing You Su back to his senses. He had overcomplicated the issue, unlike Bai Ze, who was born of beasts, and whose understanding was much simpler.

He was secretly annoyed that he should have thought of this sooner. He remembered that when Lord Ash taught him about evil spirits, he mentioned that although evil spirits were classified as outside of living beings, they actually possessed some characteristics that were no different from living beings. For example, they also had a competitive relationship with each other, even those of the same lineage.

Previously, these evil spirits dared not approach this place, surely because the giant eye was guarding it. Now that the giant eye is dead, they all emerge.

However, You Su's thoughts went beyond that. He quickly realized that these blood lines were derivatives that the giant eye produced to protect itself, and were its main means of self-defense.

Since this centipede has the ability to corrode bloodlines, it should have invaded this place long ago if it wanted to seize it. The reason it didn't come before was definitely because it was wary of something else from the giant eye!

The only thing it could fear was the left-handed power of that giant eye!

As if struck by lightning, You Su suddenly remembered something—

That is, he hasn't actively activated his Black Eye since he woke up!

His ability to see in his Black Eye only occurs when he actively activates them, and he can now maintain this state for most of the day without needing to rest. However, regardless of whether he activates his Black Eye before falling asleep, he always wakes up with the same blurry state as before!

But this time when he woke up, he was so shocked that he completely forgot that he could see things as soon as he opened his eyes!

He slowly stretched out his hands, gazing at his palms.

If you calm down, you'll still find that your vision is a little blurry, but it's much clearer than before!

With a try-it-and-see attitude, You Su closed his left eye and used only his right eye to see. Sure enough, his palm became blurry and indistinguishable in the dim space. He then opened his left eye and closed his right eye, and his palm became clearer than before when he had both eyes open!

He excitedly looked up and around; this was the first time he had ever done so.

See the world clearly with your own discerning eyes!

That giant eye is God's left eye!
