Deep in the mountains, an artificial lake.
It was pouring rain here.
The enormous splash exploded into a curtain of rain, crashing down all around and pounding the surface of the artificial lake into turbulent waves.
The trees all around were drenched by the rain, gradually becoming soaked.
Su Ming and Xu Qianqian also reached the shore, standing in the rain with their clothes thoroughly soaked.
"."
"."
The man and woman stood at the water's edge, silently facing each other, speechless for a long while.
Especially Xu Qianqian. She glanced at the clothes clinging tightly to her body from being soaked through, her skin beginning to show beneath them, and her gaze at Su Ming grew somewhat resentful.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Su Ming couldn't help glancing at Xu Qianqian's body as he offered a feeble explanation.
Heaven knew, he really had only wanted to blast apart the waves so they wouldn't both be swallowed by the lake.
In the end, they had both still gotten soaked. Compared with being directly swallowed by the waves and falling into the lake, how was the outcome any different?
Xu Qianqian clearly thought the same way, which was why she was staring at Su Ming with such a resentful look.
Su Ming could only turn his gaze away and stop looking at Xu Qianqian.
The view was beautiful, but if he kept staring, the young lady would probably lose her temper.
When that happened, there was no way he would escape without bleeding.
Yes, bleeding in the physical sense.
"Sigh."
Xu Qianqian could only sigh and let the matter go, turning her attention toward the artificial lake.
The Mermaid Maiden's figure had completely vanished. Not the slightest trace of her remained.
"Did she hide at the bottom of the lake?"
