As Chen Ran Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's skirt, supported her waist to lift her up, and then gently set her down—

This difference is something that no one can replicate at this moment.

Sea Creatures can not only adapt to the environment, but also to foreign objects inside the body.

It wriggles like a living thing, fits together autonomously, and finally becomes so perfectly aligned that it 'completely transforms into Chen Ran's shape'.

Chapter 275 Insufficient energy supply will cause you to shrink again, okay?

Listening to Wishdale muttering to himself, Xi remained silent for a while before withdrawing her hand.

Now that Xi is at least half a meter tall, these movements are quite noticeable.

Wishdale immediately objected. "Why are you taking your hand back? Hurry up and untie the rope for me!"

"I am just a passerby, how can I make decisions for the host? That would be against the rules."

No, Xi's original intention was simply that she had listened to that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's cries for so long, and now that she had released Wishdale, did she really want to listen to Wishdale lingering there for several more hours?

No, no... it's dirty ears.

"Huh? What master and servant?" Wishdale retorted, "That dog is the master? Then I'm the mistress! You listen to that dog but not me?"

I don't think the lady of the house would be tied up and hung here while watching her husband fool around with outsiders.

So Xi ignored her completely. She just turned her head and looked around, thinking about where to sit down and rest for a while.

After standing for so long, my legs felt a little weak.

But the chair in front of the desk... that's Chen Ran's office chair, the main seat, so Xi naturally wouldn't disregard the rules.

The sofa... there's a puddle of water there, I don't want to go there either.

So after wandering around for a while, Xi could only walk back to the table and look into the fish tank.

Xi vaguely remembered that the gurgling, seemingly alive water had told her not to run around or touch things, and then it had hidden itself in the fish tank...

Is it still around now?

So, amidst the background noise of Wishdale's cursing, Xi reached out and tapped on the side of the jar.

Soon after, bubbles began to rise from the water in the fish tank.

Then Mylnar poked her little head out of the water. "It's you! Where is that person? Did that person leave?"

"Him? He's holding—"

Upon hearing this, Xi had barely opened her mouth to speak when...

But then Mylnar, who had been peeking furtively from the fish tank, suddenly looked terrified. "Wait! That person's here! Oh! I'm not a rag! Hey... wait? You're thirsty, why are you prying my leg... don't, don't drink it?!"

Xi had no idea what had happened.

In Xi's eyes, Mylnar seemed to have suddenly gone mad. After rambling on and on, she suddenly started exploding into pink bubbles again.

Then...

That familiar humming sound reached Xi's ears again.

This time, however, it was Mylnar was whining.

Evening. "..."

Is this never going to end?

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ran finally returned.

Despite the long and arduous battle, Chen Ran still looked refreshed and full of energy.

That's not surprising, after all, Chen Ran is in control. Whether it's Deep Blue Points or drinking water to recover, Chen Ran can do it all with ease.

Therefore, no one questioned Chen Ran's mental state.

"Hey, you bastard, you actually dared to come back?"

Wishdale, who had been tied up and hanging there for so long, couldn't help but be sarcastic when Chen Ran returned. "Why don't you go out and have more fun? You should be having so much fun that you don't even know how to come home! And what about that... Red T? Didn't you bring her back? Are you keeping her out there, planning to keep her as a mistress?"

Look, look, he's gotten so angry at Wishdale that he can even use idioms now.

However, when Chen Ran approached, Wishdale was surprised to find that not only had Chen Ran returned, but he had also brought back the Heart of the Corrupted Skadi along with him.

You should know that in the past, anyone who was carried into the bathroom by Chen Ran could be considered missing for a period of time afterward.

After all, Chen Ran is full of energy, but they are not.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi has returned, but she is no longer the 166cm life-size figure she once was. Instead, she has reverted to being about 18cm tall, resembling a cola bottle.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sat on Chen Ran's shoulder, her bare little feet swinging back and forth with Chen Ran steps.

Holding food in her arms, she seemed to be starving. Heart of the Corrupted Skadi kept eating, her mouth never stopping.

Wishdale was taken aback for a moment, then blurted out, "Tsk tsk tsk, you little bastard, you're quite the player, aren't you? Not satisfied with the big ones, want to try something smaller, huh? You little bastard, you can even get down there?"

Chen Ran: "?"

"Little Wei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Ran immediately understood that Wishdale had misunderstood something.

He stepped forward and poked Wishdale's body with his fingertip. "Is it possible that Red T simply overexerted herself and couldn't maintain her size afterward, so she reverted back to her original size?"

Unlike the evening glow, which is sculpted from clay and then fed to grow larger,

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi enlarged her body purely through the power of the God of Sea Creatures.

She enlarged her body to freeload, but after a battle, she found that the energy she gave up was less than the energy she ate. So, wouldn't Heart of the Corrupted Skadi shrink her body to reduce energy consumption before starting to eat like crazy again?

Wishdale was present the whole time; how could she not know that what Chen Ran said was actually true?

But does that stop Wishdale from continuing her sarcastic remarks?

It doesn't bother you.

So Wishdale continued to grumble and curse.

Chen Ran had already sampled enough, so he didn't care at all. Chen Ran poked Wishdale's body again, watching Wishdale sway back and forth, then poked him again, and seeing Wishdale swaying left and right, he poked him once more—

"Your mother!"

Wishdale, unable to bear it any longer, let out this cry.

Hearing the familiar cockroach chirping, Chen Ran was finally satisfied.

Then, turning her head, she saw Jianxi standing in front of the fish tank, poking the water's surface with her fingertips, looking as if to say, "Sister? Sister, are you alright? Sister, say something! Sister, how did you die?"

"Little Watermelon," Chen Ran said, "Are you hungry now? Do you want me to feed you some more?"

Upon hearing this, Xi froze.

Previously, Chen Ran was feeding Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, and while he was feeding her, he ended up feeding her on the bed.

Now you want to feed me again?

Anyone who heard this would think that Chen Ran had probably finished with Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, but wasn't satisfied and now wanted to take on Xi.

So no matter whether she was hungry or not, Xi immediately shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."

"Oh, that's a pity."

Chen Ran didn't really want to break up with Xi.

However, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, due to hunger and insufficient energy, reverted from a life-size figure back to a tiny person only about 18cm tall.

Chen Ran was also a little curious: would Xi Na's body, which was made of clay, also have this flaw?

If so, Chen Ran could use it to make some improvements.

Chapter 276 Even if the house is destroyed, it doesn't matter, Time Reversal.

Since the Little Watermelon was unwilling, Chen Ran naturally wouldn't force it on her.

However, it was clear that Xi still vividly remembered what had happened and dared not easily let her guard down.

So Xi not only took a step back, but also changed the subject to extricate herself. "The Worldline you mentioned earlier seems to have some problems. I don't know how to solve it, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Worldline? What's wrong?"

Chen Ran had no idea what had happened while he was carrying Heart of the Corrupted Skadi to the bathroom.

So Chen Ran naturally stepped forward and went with Little Watermelon to the planet model.

The two men went off to do their business, but Wishdale, who was tied up and hanging, widened his small eyes and immediately protested:

"No? You bastard, put me down first!"

"Besides! You bastard, you've already finished with that Red T, isn't it time for my turn? Come on! Let's fuck for a whole day and night first, why did you run away, you bastard?"

"Come back! Get back here, you bastard!"

"Oh, so it's because you, Little Watermelon, wrecked the house and don't know what to do with it, right?"

Chen Ran stood in front of the planet model and peered inside.

After witnessing the chain reaction triggered by Little Watermelon's initial slap, Chen Ran nodded in understanding.

Land subsidence, volcanic eruptions, climate erratic behavior, uncontrolled temperatures, and the collapse of marine ecosystems.

The series of questions did seem quite intimidating, which explains why Xi brought it up herself.

But Chen Ran didn't show any signs of being overwhelmed. Instead, he comforted the Little Watermelon, saying, "It's okay, this little thing is easy to solve."

After saying that, Chen Ran reached out and patted Xi's head to comfort her.

For a fleeting moment, Rang Xi genuinely felt that this lecherous man was raising her like a daughter.

However, before Xi could even feel anything unusual, she saw Chen Ran reach out his hand towards the planet model.

This scene, which seemed to be about to be grabbed and refined in an instant, naturally caused panic among the natives on the planet model.

"Why... why did that hand reach out and grab us?!"

"Although we'd rather be kept by adults than by that little kid... why does it look like they're about to crush us?"

"Help! We're going to die! We're all going to die!"

"Yay! Just destroy it already! I can't stand this lousy class for another day!"

These terrified screams dissipated as Chen Ran reached out and pinched the planet model with two fingertips, forcibly stopping its rotation—

All sound then abruptly ceased.

Time began to reverse after Chen Ran held the planet model and spun it upside down a few times.

Pedestrians retreated, birds flew backward, the hundred-meter-high waves crashed back into the sea, the erupted lava flowed back into the crater, and the impact-driven tectonic plates slid down and separated.

Time returned to the moment when the Northern Demons was slapped to death by Xi.

It was as if nothing had ever happened; even memories were resurrected.

The natives of this planet, looking at Xi who was completely bewildered, even uttered the exact same exclamation as before. "So that's the true face of our... owner? Hey... you know what, they're actually quite cute..."

Evening. "..."

Xi opened her little mouth, turned her head, and stared at Chen Ran silently for a long time.

She seemed to understand why the Water Elf had reacted so strongly to prevent her from touching it.

"What's wrong, Little Watermelon?" Chen Ran naturally noticed Xi's unusual behavior and asked with a smile.

Xi paused for a moment, then avoided his gaze and mumbled, "It's nothing... but this kind of flashback... does it mean everyone has lost their memories?"

"No, there are a few lucky ones."

Chen Ran reached out and zoomed in and out on the planet model in front of him, saying, "Look, this little penguin, that little rice cake, oh, and my Little Rabbit, the memories are still there."

Magallan was once saved by Xi, hence this honor.
