Siren Is Already Dead!
Siren, weren't you supposed to have been in the Demiplane long ago, meow?
Wouldn't we be exposed if we went now, meow?
What does meow mean?
Ye Hua winked at him.
Bai Xiuxiu smacked her lips, swallowing her question.
The cold-faced beauty was the first to lose her composure.
"Wait, you said we're going to Sea God Island now?"
"Right."
"We still need to save the giant octopus?"
"That's right."
"This..." The cold-faced beauty frowned, "Can you defeat Bo Saixi?"
Ye Hua turned his head, a half-smile on his face, "Lord Water God, you are still a remnant of a god."
"The High Priestess of Sea God Island is powerful, but she is ultimately just a mortal. Are you afraid of her?"
"No," the cold-faced beauty raised her chin slightly, displaying the disdainful gaze befitting a deity, "I'm only worried about the successor!"
"If anything happens to Bai Xiuxiu, who will I turn to after the Nine Examinations?"
"Oh—" Ye Hua nodded, "I see."
The cold-faced beauty simply turned her back to him, refusing to meet his gaze.
"Enough talk, just go!"
Ye Hua smiled, "This time, we won't confront Bo Saixi head-on."
"Just sneak in and rescue the giant octopus."
Upon hearing this, the cold-faced beauty's brows relaxed slightly.
Ye Hua Yinglong Wings, their Soul Power enveloping the three of them, and flew towards Sea God Island.
A moment later, the outline of Sea God Island appeared, still with verdant mountains and coconut groves everywhere.
Nothing had changed since I left, except that there were no fishermen fishing in the shallow waters.
As Ye Hua lowered the distance and prepared to approach the shore, the Demon Soul Great White Shark leaped out of the water to bite their feet.
Bai Xiuxiu felt something was amiss, but guessed it was Ye Hua's doing, so she didn't say anything.
After landing, Ye Hua deliberately avoided Sea Horse City and walked through the coconut grove.
"You seem quite familiar with this place?" The cold-faced beauty looked around.
"I've been here before." Ye Hua shrugged.
The cold-faced beauty immediately became alert, and her aura fluctuated.
"Don't misunderstand," Ye Hua turned his head, "I'm not a follower of the Sea God."
"He's not worthy to be my god!"
Seeing Ye Hua's [outrageous behavior], the cold-faced beauty finally felt relieved.
Those Sea God worshippers were all fanatical; they couldn't possibly say such a thing.
Are you here to participate in the Sea God Inheritance assessment?
"No, I haven't watched Sea God, I reject him."
Cold-faced beauty:...
Indeed, you could even coldly refuse the Water God!
"Hey," Ye Hua stopped, "It's your turn to lead the way now, isn't it?"
"Huh?" The cold-faced beauty stared in disbelief. "You don't know where the giant octopus is kept? Then why are you taking us there?"
"I brought you to the inner island to avoid the residents and prevent you from being arrested," Ye Hua said matter-of-factly.
The cold-faced beauty's lips twitched.
"Lord Water God, please don't refuse, shall we?"
"Otherwise, this First Trial would be far too difficult!"
The cold-faced beauty remained silent for a long time before leading the way.
Ye Hua and Qian Renxue looked at each other and shook their heads.
Before long, the cold-faced beauty led them to the lake.
Bai Xiuxiu blinked. Wasn't this the Fifth Trial, the place to find medicinal herbs to save her mother?
It seems she was right; the giant octopus was indeed the Siren!
"This is it." The cold-faced beauty stopped in her tracks.
"Thank you." Ye Hua cupped his hands in thanks. "Shall we go down?"
"Anyway, it's just saving people. As long as we do it secretly, Bo Saixi won't notice."
The cold-faced beauty looked around, saw that the location was remote, and nodded in agreement.
Without hesitation, Ye Hua led the team down to the same cave they had visited before.
The Qian Renxue released holy light, its golden rays illuminating the surroundings.
The rock face was covered with dense, dried mucus marks.
The crisscrossing patterns resemble the traces left by countless dried-up slugs.
In some places, dark brown bloodstains remained, appearing slightly dark red in the holy light.
Clearly, this place has been abandoned for a long time and is devoid of life.
The cold-faced beauty swallowed hard, kicked away a pebble at her feet, and looked somewhat agitated.
Ye Hua glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything, and continued forward.
The passage wound downwards, and the air gradually became murky, but fortunately, it wasn't long before we arrived at the grotto.
The grotto Siren were once imprisoned is now devoid of the octopus, leaving only the chains that bound her.
A black iron chain, as thick as an adult's waist, was driven deep into the rock face at one end and broken at the other.
The break is jagged, as if it had been forcibly torn off, the metal stubs are grotesque.
The scent of Siren in the air was so faint as to be almost nonexistent.
Ye Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems we're too late; the giant octopus has already met with misfortune."
The cold-faced beauty bit her lower lip. "Impossible, she's a 600,000-year-old Soul Beast, after all."
"Even Bo Saixi couldn't handle this level of strength, could he?"
Ye Hua sighed, Qian Renxue understood.
She closed her eyes to sense, "I can't feel any life either."
"In this cave, only death and ruins remain; the giant octopus is likely in grave danger."
"Huh?" Bai Xiuxiu followed suit, "Then what about my assessment?"
"Perhaps, Lord Water God, you could change the exam content?"
But the cold-faced beauty's eyes were sharp. "No, it's right here!"
"We demand to see the person alive or dead, with no room for argument!"
"Besides, how could she have died without any explanation!"
Qian Renxue her distorted expression and didn't know what to say.
In the end, I could only offer my condolences.
"Let's go. Now that the giant octopus is missing, we'll figure out a way to pass the test."
Ye Hua slowly turned around. "But I'm curious, why are you so concerned about the giant octopus?"
"According to the rules of the Divine Examination, even a god cannot easily offer help."
"And our Water God actually led the way himself and searched carefully."
"Heh... heh..." The cold-faced beauty forced a smile. "I've already said, she's a friend of mine."
"I promised her I would give her the giant octopus completely, and now I'm going back on my word. Where is my face?"
"That's a valid reason," Ye Hua said, his eyes narrowing slightly, "But as a god, shouldn't you have some authority?"
"Just suppress the message when the time comes, won't that solve the problem?"
The cold-faced beauty spat, "Pah! How dare you say that!"
"Even a three-year-old knows the importance of keeping promises, and you, Ultimate Douluo, don't even know that!"
Ye Hua was not angry; he had completely confirmed his guess.
"Okay, then we'll go look for it."
"The First Trial involves traveling two million miles underwater, which is a good opportunity to find the giant octopus."
"I'll make sure you see the fish alive, or see its corpse dead!"
"But we have to retreat now. Who knows, Bo Saixi might suddenly conduct an inspection?"
The cold-faced beauty's expression softened, and she caught up with his pace.
But after taking only two steps, they heard a muffled sound of water breaking apart overhead.
A figure appeared in the cave.
She wore a long taro-purple robe, had long, white-purple hair, and pale pink eyes; the Scepter in her hand shimmered with light.
It was Bo Saixi!
She landed at the cave entrance, and the [Sea God's Domain] instantly unfolded, illuminating the entire underground lake with azure light.
"As expected, there are rats." Bo Saixi's gaze fixed on the cold-faced beauty.
Meanwhile, the cold-faced beauty, who was the [Water God's Remnant], suddenly turned red in the eyes, exuding murderous intent!
Without saying a word, he charged straight in!
Eight tentacles tore through her skin and clothes on her back!
With lightning speed, it struck straight at Bo Saixi!
You deserve to die!
Bo Saixi felt threatened, Scepter to the ground, and the lake water surged, forming a protective shield.
Boom!!!
The tentacles slammed into the protective shield, causing the underground lake to tremble violently and plankton to scatter and flee.
Inside the cave, stalactites fell in a rustling sound, only to be repelled by Ye Hua's Soul Power.
Ye Hua sighed softly, "Even now, are you still going to hide it?"
