Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 411: The True Face Under the Sea
The dark red lines inside the conch shell were pulsating slightly like blood vessels. Through the silk, You Su could clearly feel the rise and fall of the girl's chest gradually syncing with the strange rhythm.

Bai Ze's skirt piled on his knees, and the body temperature from under the gauze turned the cold air that had just condensed on his thighs into warm mist.

You Su had never understood the meaning of the words "sitting on pins and needles" so deeply. He didn't even know whether he should push the girl away and reject this rather extreme sitting posture, or acquiesce to this little cat's greed for the only person close to her.

He suddenly felt a little nostalgic, wishing that those twisted sea lice could come back and save him, a helpless man who was struggling.

"My brother's sword hit me."

Bai Ze suddenly raised his neck, with his beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

Her light complaint made You Su's heart rise to his throat.

You Su swallowed nervously, then he remembered that he had been walking on thin ice. It was the Mosong sword that had slipped between their legs that had hit the girl. The sword handle at the end of the sword was pressing against the inside of the girl's thigh, leaving a very elastic depression on the thin gauze skirt.

He hastily reached out to grab the hilt of the sword, but his fingertips touched something warm. Bai Ze suddenly clamped his knees together, trapping his hand between his legs before he could withdraw it.

"This is the reward you gave me. You are not allowed to punish me with family rules."

The girl pouted her red lips, looking serious as if she wouldn't allow You Su to cheat.

You Su's back was stretched like a fully drawn bowstring. If he moved half an inch further up, he would touch the forbidden area that must not be touched.

He wanted to scold this ignorant girl, but when he lowered his eyes, he met her clear spring-like pupils - which were filled with genuine innocence, as if the teasing just now was just the playfulness of a kitten accidentally turning over its belly, making his scolding words disappear instantly.

"There are dangers everywhere here. Only I can protect you with a sword." You Su's voice was terribly hoarse.

"Are you really not trying to hit me..." Bai Ze asked timidly.

"Ah."

Bai Ze was skeptical when he heard this, but he still slowly loosened his thighs, as if he was on guard against You Su's sudden change of mind.

Even holding the sword, You Su was unable to relieve the tension in his heart. The warm fragrance of the girl made him feel confused. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the girl.

A dark red halo flowed around the girl's collarbone, and You Su suddenly realized that her skirt ties had loosened by an inch. A line of porcelain-white skin leaked out from the collar, appearing and disappearing with her breathing.

He hastily looked away, only to find that their shadows on the conch shell had already been entangled into an ambiguous ball.

He seemed to realize that he looked at Bai Ze differently than before.

After all, he was a young man full of vigor and blood, and perhaps more vigorous than most people. He was able to endure all this time because of his extraordinary willpower, and it had nothing to do with beautiful words such as morality, emotion, and responsibility.

In fact, these self-restraints in the pursuit of being upright are actually a bit redundant for a cat girl who is actually older than herself, but You Su really can't allow himself to have desires for a silly little cat.

In fact, You Su also knew that the more he struggled, the more it showed that he had bad intentions, and the more he knew this, the more he struggled. This vicious cycle was because he really couldn't tell whether Bai Ze was deliberately testing him or was just innocent and romantic.

It was clearly the same action, but the target was a human instead of a cat, so it looked very different to You Su, but in the eyes of Bai Ze, who had just taken on a human form, nothing seemed to have changed. If he thought that the other party was testing him, wouldn't that mean he was finding an excuse for himself in advance? It was like him dragging a beautiful woman into an alley, and then saying that the other party had deliberately seduced him. It was as unreasonable as that.

He is like a hungry wolf, but not a wolf without bottom line. When facing a little white cat in front of his mouth, he has to make sure it is a bad cat before eating it. If the cat comes to lick his fur to show his goodwill, how can he bear to eat it?

Looking at the lips so close to him, You Su finally let out a long sigh, flicked her eyebrows with his fingers, and decided to get to the bottom of it.

"Bai Ze." He called her by her full name in a hoarse voice, trying to regain his brotherly dignity. "Do you know what it means for a woman to be so close to a man?"

The girl tilted her head in thought, one of her twin ponytails fell on You Su's shoulder, and gave her own answer:
“It means the relationship is good.”

After saying that, the girl's eyes lit up as if she had noticed something new. She reached out and poked You Su's rolling Adam's apple, then touched her smooth neck, and asked curiously:

“Why don’t I have this for you?”

You Su's pupils shrank slightly as he stared at the girl's velvety eyelashes.

If the girl had only given the answer, he might have continued to ask questions, but the girl's nonchalant behavior afterwards seemed to have confirmed her naivety and innocence, so there was no need to continue asking.

"You owe me a punishment from the family rules." You Su suddenly said coldly.

Bai Ze stared in surprise, "Why? Isn't this the agreed reward?"

"The reward is sitting on me, but I didn't let you touch me. As a sister, you should be punished for being disrespectful to your brother."

You Su knew that he was being too sentimental and couldn't help feeling resentful, so he found a reason to use his sister, who was the instigator, as a punching bag, also to warn the girl to keep her distance in the future.

"You! I, I!"

The girl stuttered for a long time, still not knowing how to refute this sudden accusation, as if a poor scholar in a brothel was complaining that the beautiful girl was too dishonest and only asked for money after touching her.

Finally, the girl gave in and said, "Then you are not allowed to hit me with the sword. It hurts so much."

"It's only through pain that we learn lessons."

"Then I lied to you. It doesn't hurt at all when I hit you with the sword." Bai Ze's eyes showed a hint of kitten-like cunning.

You Su smiled bitterly, even though their sitting posture was still overly intimate, he now had a reason to lock away the beast in his heart.

She is just a cat.

It's just a stupid cat that looks cute, is extremely self-reliant, and a bit like a human.

You Su tried to hypnotize himself, but it didn't seem to work.

In order to divert his attention from the wonderful touch, he took out the second stone tablet that he had obtained with great difficulty.

As the Xuan Qi was slowly injected, the pure Xuan Qi stored in the stone tablet was activated. On the stone tablet, words slowly emerged, but they were more crazy than the previous one, and there seemed to be tentacles wriggling between the strokes - those who come later must remember that in the abyss, the following three rules must be followed:
"First, fear will push you into eternal darkness. Do not associate, do not spy, and do not be afraid."

You Su read it and agreed with it. He had seen many colleagues in the Exorcism Department who also avoided evil spirits like snakes and scorpions. The monks were like this, and the fear of evil spirits among ordinary people was even more deeply rooted. However, many people, including himself, who were considered invulnerable to all evil in the eyes of others, were actually just not that afraid of these evil spirits.

Fear of the unknown is inevitable, but you can't be so afraid that you dare not face it or draw your sword. The more afraid you are, the more the evil will invade you. This is a simple truth that many people understand, but most people still can't control the instinctive physiological fear.

"Second, hiding yourself is the essence of life. In the abyss, the candlelight can illuminate the ten feet in front of you, and it can also allow beings ten thousand feet away to see the candlelight in the next direction. Please ignore the whispers in your ears, do not respond, and walk alone."

You Su nodded slightly after reading it. He had always instilled in Bai Ze the idea that he should never easily expose his presence. This was due to his habit of keeping a low profile and his instinct to save his life. He did not expect that it coincided with the experience left by this senior. He had thought that the lingering whispers in his ears were some kind of bewitching means, so he ignored them. Now he realized that it was a means used by a more terrifying existence to find prey, and he could not help but feel lucky in his heart.

The second rule can be summed up in twelve words, "Don't expose yourself, don't respond to them", and You Su kept it in mind.

You Su, who felt more and more that this senior had extraordinary powers the more he read, suddenly had his pupils constricted when he finished reading the third sentence.

"Third, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. This is an irrefutable truth. I erect this monument in front of this coral group to advise those who come after me not to be deceived by its beauty. The flower path is difficult, please take a detour."

Instantly, a chill ran down You Su's spine. He looked up suddenly, and the lines on the inner wall of the dark red shell began to wriggle as if alive, and the originally dark blue fluorescent moss actually oozed scarlet blood.

Bai Ze lay in his arms, and when You Su wasn't paying attention, he was quietly poking the soft flesh of his Adam's apple with his fingertips, but was frightened by You Su's sudden tense muscles and retracted his hand.

"go!"

You Su held Bai Ze's waist with one hand, and the moment the Mosong Sword split the curtain of barnacles, the fishy and salty sea breeze with sticky mist blew in his face. The originally quiet and magnificent coral group was now twisting wildly, and the fluorescence flowing between the branches was like boiling lava, reflecting the seabed like purgatory.

You Su realized at this moment that those troublesome sea lice left this place so quickly not because they gave up, but because they knew that things would soon change here!
As soon as Bai Ze's embroidered shoes touched the ground, the entire coral reef suddenly shook violently. You Su staggered and held the girl tightly to his chest, while the Mosong sword was deeply inserted into the ground to stabilize his body.

The swampy ground arched into a continuous arc, and more and more strange-shaped conch shells popped up from the ground like mushrooms after rain. This was not a natural shelter, but a colony of countless conch shells parasitizing on a giant creature!
"No matter what happens, always stay behind me!"

You Su shouted anxiously to Bai Ze in his arms. The girl obviously hadn't recovered from the shock of the sudden change from brother and sister snuggling to a disaster. Her expression was a little stiff, but fortunately, obedience was her nature, and she nodded woodenly in response to You Su.

"boom!"

A deafening rumble came from the ground, mud waves surged, and the earth seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

In the midst of this chaos, a shadow that was a hundred feet wide suddenly broke out of the ground like a towering mountain, and the leaking mud and sand was like a torrential rain.

You Su bent his body and completely covered Bai Ze. The disgusting fishy smell swept in like a hurricane, as if it was the stench from the darkest corner of the deep sea, almost blowing You Su down. It was not until most of his calves were trapped by the mud and sand that You Su had time to raise his head.

And the shock he felt when he looked up was no less than when he saw the magnificent fog beast from the city wall of Izumo Castle!

There was a huge white sphere hanging on the hill. The translucent material made it beautiful and restrained, like a full moon overlapping the shadow of the mountain. But this was definitely not a landscape painting with a profound artistic conception. With this giant sphere as the center, countless disgusting flesh buds of all sizes kept wriggling and licking around it, as if they had created this incomparable huge pearl. Along with it, there was a "crackling" sound everywhere, as if countless teeth were chewing in a place that the two could not see, which was terrifying.

Bai Ze's scream was stuck in her throat. She trembled and clutched You Su's clothes tightly. Her feet were wrapped in mud and sand, making her unable to move.

The reason why she was so terrified was because she discovered an amazing phenomenon... At the end of these undulating conch shells was that huge pearl!
You Su also discovered this, and he soon realized that this was a super-giant evil spirit that looked like the legendary creature Giant Clam, and it was even larger than the giant beast that was breathing out smoke that he had seen before!
And he and Bai Ze were standing on its tongue!

run!
This was the only thought left in You Su's mind!
You Su quickly shook off the surrounding mud and sand, carried Bai Ze on his back and leaped onto the newly formed 'ground'.

Without any hesitation, he fled from this true abyss.

More and more flesh buds split out from the ground, as if they were countless greedy hands, trying to capture the two fleeing people and take them back to hell.

The imminent threat of death left both of them speechless. The instinct of survival drove them to do everything they could to keep themselves alive. He acquiesced to Bai Ze not having to restrain his strength. Because if he didn't restrain his strength, he might get hurt, but if he restrained his strength, he would definitely die!
You Suli shouted, and the sword swept across with black air. The sword intent of Liansheng and Mosong merged into a storm of black and white, like a black dragon, crushing the slimy tentacles that came towards him into pieces.

Bai Ze's twin ponytails fluttered in the strong wind. She formed seals with her ten fingers, and her mysterious energy surged like a glacier, freezing the conchs falling from the sky into ice sculptures that paused in the air.

The muddy sand was too difficult to walk on, so he grabbed Bai Ze and jumped onto the ice ridge, running fast on the constantly breaking ice surface. Behind him came a tooth-grinding chewing sound, the frozen conch was pinched off by the granulation, and the ice debris mixed with mucus poured down like a heavy rain.

Bai Ze suddenly groaned, and You Su turned around and saw a fleshy hair piercing through her left shoulder, with the bright red color soaking through her pink skirt.

You Su's eyes were red with anger, and the moment he swung his sword to cut off the flesh tentacles, an ice lotus blossomed in Bai Ze's palm. The extreme cold flowed upstream along the wound, freezing half of the evil spirit's tentacles into icicles.

"Run..." Bai Ze urged in a low voice.

You Su clenched his teeth, his eyes turned completely black again, and thick black smoke seemed to be rolling on the Mosong sword, cutting all the flesh buds that blocked his way into pieces.

But what is really troublesome are not only these granulations, but also these parasitic snails!

They exploded one after another along the route the two were taking, and the fragments of fluorescent moss rolled back like a galaxy.

This seriously affected You Su's escape. The energy ripples of the explosion shook You Su so much that he staggered all over the place. He couldn't keep his body steady at all, and he had to distract himself to resist these rampant flesh buds.

You Su was not careful and his ankles were tied up by the flesh buds. Suddenly he felt a huge force coming from his ankles. Then he felt dizzy and was thrown into the air.

He was afraid that Bai Ze would be thrown off his back, so he hugged the girl's thighs tightly, but he couldn't spare his hands to cut off the flesh buds. While he was hesitating, more and more flesh buds came up, as if they were going to wrap the two of them up like meat dumplings.

You Su secretly regretted that he shouldn't have taken the chance to enter this camouflage coral. This world was far more terrifying than he had imagined. But now that he was in a desperate situation, how could he find a way out?
Just when he was getting extremely anxious, he was surprised to find that the entangled flesh on his legs loosened all at once, throwing him mercilessly high into the air.

You Su hurriedly used the Ruyi Wind Control Technique in the air and took several steps to steady his body, but he saw that the ground below was moving rapidly.

This giant clam is retracting its tongue!
You Su landed lightly holding Bai Ze, wondering why the buds suddenly retreated, while running against the direction of the tongue. Finally, he jumped out of the giant clam's tongue after landing on a few corals.

But the fear of death in my heart did not dissipate, and an even heavier sense of oppression came from top to bottom.

You Su's pupils shrank as small as beans, and he had a strong sense that something was coming above his head.

The overwhelming shadows enveloped this dark world, and only the light and shadow falling from a far distance outlined the shape of the object above.

Big fish eat small fish, and bigger fish eat bigger fish. This is the real underwater world.
