Chapter 748 It's Best to Lie to Me for a Lifetime
Before Yu Xia could focus her gaze, she heard the sound of crashing waves and smelled the faint salty scent of the sea breeze.

The intense sunlight made her raise her hand to shield her eyes.

After a moment, a white beach came into her view.

The sea breeze caressed her, and beneath her feet lay soft, sun-baked sand.

As far as the eye can see, the azure coastline merges seamlessly with the sky.

“This is the only coastal teleportation point, do you like it?” Kleeman stood behind her, casting a shadow.

Yu Xia looked around and saw human-made buildings in the distance behind her.

It wasn't the high-rise buildings she had seen before; the buildings were low, with white exteriors and blue roofs, and all looked like stand-alone structures.

She had seen this kind of house in many coastal cities. It wasn't particularly unique, but compared to the hustle and bustle of big cities, this place was vast and tranquil, which could calm one's mind.

"I really like it." Yu Xia turned around and smiled at Kleeman. "Can we come here often in the future?"

Kleeman smiled at her, lifted her chin with his fingers, and rubbed her face with his thumb through his glove. After a while, he said, "We'll stay here, how about it?"

His tall, slender figure covered her, overlapping with her shadow, as if imprisoning and devouring her.

Hearing his serious tone, Yu Xia was slightly surprised.

Kleeman has been taking her around these past few days just to please her.

She knew his wickedness, knew his desires, and understood that his attempts to please her were merely for his own pleasure.

Stay here?
This is so unlike his personality.

Kleeman is arrogant, irritable, and loves fighting; he doesn't seem like the type to stay here.

For someone like him, peace and tranquility would only bore him.

Yu Xia assumed he was just indulging in a passing fancy.

"Is that okay?" Yu Xia's face lit up with joy. "I thought we were going to go back to that sentry tower you mentioned. Isn't that our home?"

“I’ve changed my mind,” Kleeman said. “I want you to stay here, just the two of us.”

He didn't want to hand her over to anyone.

Catherine won't work either.

He also realized that Catherine wanted to use her identity as Ivy to win over people from other factions.

In the future, countless sentinels will inevitably appear around her.

He hated that Catherine did this, as it made him seem incompetent.

"Where am I?" Yu Xia looked up at the bright sky above.

“An asteroid,” Kleeman said. “Not technologically advanced, but it’s a Class A habitable planet.”

"Wow"

The waves surged onto the beach, submerging Yu Xia's feet.

Yu Xia looked down and felt a familiar, faint energy emanating from the seawater.

On a sudden impulse, she took off her shoes and pulled Kleeman towards the sea.

Kleeman grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Xia took off her cumbersome coat, leaving only a white gauze dress underneath. "Swimming! The weather is so nice, and we're at the beach, how can we not swim?"

She leaned forward slightly and said in a playful tone, "Clement, can't you swim?"

Kleeman scoffed, "Who can't swim? I can even fight off pollutants in the water."

Yu Xia pulled him into the water, saying, "Then come swim with me."

Kleeman couldn't resist her coquettish tone and was half-pushed and half-forced into the water.

Once the water reached Yu Xia's waist, she leaned back and submerged her entire body in the water. The next moment, her lower body transformed into a long fish tail.

"What, what is this?" Yu Xia exclaimed, flailing her arms in the water as if terrified by her own tail. "Your spiritual body is a dolphin, so you can materialize your spiritual body in the water," Kleeman said, amused by her reaction.

He wasn't surprised that Yu Xia suddenly transformed into a different form. Her mental strength had been unstable when she was with the Snake Clan, and the guide's information also recorded that she was prone to transformation.

When he decided to bring her here, he had already anticipated this scene.

Yu Xia awkwardly flicked her tail. "So this is my mutated form. Kaiser told me that my spiritual body is the Golden Flower. Do I have two spiritual bodies?"

Kleeman: "Well, don't use the power of the Golden Flower carelessly."

He had already exhausted her too much last time, and he wouldn't let her draw power from him again until she recovered.

Seeing her floundering foolishly in the water, Catherine dived in, grabbed her hand, and said, "You're so clumsy, you can't even control your own tail. Follow me."

Kleeman pulled her towards the deeper water, his combat uniform doing nothing to hinder his agility in the water, making him as nimble as a fish.

After "adapting" to its own tail for a while, Yu Xia let go of Kleeman's hand and swam around him in circles. "See, I can control it now."

Kleeman's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

Yu Xia circled around him for a while, then asked him excitedly and curiously, "Kreman, what is your mutated form? I know that your spiritual bodies are snakes, but I have never seen your spiritual bodies before."

Kleeman suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Ok?"

Aren't you afraid of snakes?

Yu Xia stopped. "I'm a little scared, but if it were you, I probably wouldn't be scared."

Kleeman reached out and pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her and gently pinching her cheek with his hand.

Yu Xia: "What's wrong?"

Kleeman stared into her beautiful, golden eyes and said, "Tell me you're lying to me."

Yu Xia's heart skipped a beat.

Before she could say anything, Kleeman added, "If you're really lying to me, you'd better lie to me for the rest of your life."

Yu Xia looked at him, puzzled. "Why would I lie to you?"

“I believe you,” Kleeman said softly, as if talking to himself. “I believe you, Yu Xia.”

He pinched her cheek hard, making her pout. "Did you hear that? I believe you."

Yu Xia thought to herself, "Why do the Snake Clan members all love to pinch people's faces?"

She nodded. "I heard you, Kleeman, and I believe you too."

Kleeman looked at her moist red lips and wanted to kiss her. However, the closer his skin touched hers, the more excited the alien in his body became, as if it wanted to break out of his body.

He let out a low gasp and, unable to bear the pain, released Yu Xia.

“Go swim, but don’t go too far,” Kleeman said. “I can’t transform now, I’ll show you later.”

Not only can he not exhibit a mutated form, but even his spiritual body must be placed within a mental landscape to maintain his consciousness and defend against the alien species invading his mind.

His decision to have Yu Xia stay here wasn't just about hiding her away; he wanted to see if he could remove the foreign substance from his body by temporarily leaving the contaminated environment.

As long as that thing inside him exists, he will never be able to truly touch her in this lifetime.

Yu Xia flicked her fishtail, moving a little further away from Kleeman.

Kleeman has a temper that can flare up suddenly from time to time. Should we trust him?

Ah.

Rather than believing he could control his behavior, she believed she could control him.

"Splash—" A wave crashed in, pushing Yu Xia into the water.

As soon as she regained her balance, she saw that the space in front of her seemed to be distorted.
