Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 55 Going to Harvest Baby Octopuses

Gu Xian's deep gaze paused slightly. When he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealed the turbulent emotions in his eyes. His voice was as soft as a feather: "The female Chao Sheng helped me, so I... naturally want to repay her."

His lazy, relaxed gaze sharpened, a fierce glint flashing in his round, dark eyes. Bai Ni sneered, "What do you want in return?"

“A useless male, we have no use for you.”

He grew up in the polar seas, but I've never heard of him.

He's probably just a male orc who luckily awakened some kind of superpower.

Her red eyes sparkled, and the curve of Gu Xian's lips held an ambiguous meaning. "There will always be a place where I am needed."

He seemed to have a very good temper, and even though Bai Ni offended him so much, he wasn't angry at all.

Chao Sheng rubbed her throbbing temples and sighed almost imperceptibly, "Alright."

Then, looking at Gu Xian with a solemn expression, he said, "Gu Xian, you may go back now."

"I don't like being around strange orcs."

The intention to drive away guests was extremely clear. A trace of loneliness flashed across Gu Xian's beautiful face, and a touch of desolation appeared in her deep red eyes. Her tone carried a hint of expectation, "So you mean it's okay if it's just a strange beastman?"

Her pale skin flushed a faint pink, and the way she looked up and down revealed a graceful curve that evoked a sense of pity in one's heart.

I long to turn back into my original form and let her see my waving wrists.

"Can't you understand me?" A hint of ferocity flashed in Bai Ni's eyes, his clear voice laced with ruthlessness. "You're not welcome here."

Gu Xian seemed to completely disregard Bai Ni's words, quietly watching Chao Sheng as if she were the only beastman in his world.

Chao Sheng looked troubled, a hint of helplessness creeping onto his lips.

Gu Xian lowered his head, his long, thick hair falling down, his voice low and dejected, "Well, it seems I should go."

"Can you take me home?"

Her clear, ruby-like eyes looked at Chao Sheng expectantly. Chao Sheng thought it wouldn't be a problem, so she agreed, "Okay."

"Sheng Sheng!"

"Sheng Sheng, I'll go with you."

Yin Xu and Bai Ni both looked at her disapprovingly. This male beastman looked scheming and manipulative. How could Sheng Sheng be left alone with him?

Chao Sheng simply shook her head, "No need."

"I can go by myself."

Gu Xian was seriously injured, and besides, she still needed to help him purify his spiritual sea. Let's see if he dares to do anything to her.

However, I do miss that little octopus a little.

His brother wasn't with him yesterday; surely he won't be unable to find food all by himself?

Gu Xian's eyes lit up with joy as he stared intently at Chao Sheng. "Okay."

Chaosheng and Guxian went out of the cave side by side.

Yinxu and Bai Ni could only watch their backs as they walked away.

In no time, Bai Ni also got up and headed out of the cave.

Yinxu asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"

Bai Ni didn't turn around; his deep voice drifted along with the seawater, "I'm going to the tribe."

Since Sheng Sheng isn't home anyway, we might as well take this opportunity to go back to the tribe for a visit.

……

A large, purple tail swayed freely in the icy blue water. Taking into account Gu Xian's speed, Chao Sheng swam very slowly. Looking at Gu Xian's extremely slow pace, a hint of doubt flickered in her eyes: "Do all octopuses swim this slowly?"

Gu Xian's eyes were clear and bright, and he tilted his head slightly. "Octopuses don't hunt by speed."

“Alright.” Chao Sheng pursed her lips, a hint of doubt flickering in her purple eyes. “Speaking of which, I’ve never seen your beast form before.”

What kind of octopus are you?

As if receiving some kind of hint, Gu Xian's red eyes held a strange smile. "Do you want to see my beast form?"

"I……"

In the instant that Chao Sheng hesitated, the handsome and delicate man in front of her disappeared, instantly transforming into a giant red octopus.

The deep red octopus was adorned with concentric rings of crimson, reflecting a faint fluorescence in the seawater, making it incredibly beautiful.

Chao Sheng watched this scene in shock as the stunning mermaid reached out her hand and approached the gorgeous, crimson-ringed octopus step by step.

One of the tentacles slowly approached the little mermaid, while the other tentacles behind it turned a striking pink and shook vigorously.

Noticing the little mermaid's gaze, the pink tentacles shook even more violently.

A hint of doubt flashed in her dark purple eyes, but after remembering that the little Dumbo octopus also loved to wiggle its two fleshy fins, she naturally guessed that this must be an octopus's habit.

His slender, fair fingers gently touched his thick wrists, and the suction cups on the wrists adhered to his fingers. He controlled the force well, neither too hard to hurt the little mermaid, nor too soft to firmly attach to her smooth fingertips.

"Hmm?" Chao Sheng curiously poked the soft, tender flesh with her own strength.

Wow, it's so soft.

The giant octopus obediently let the little mermaid touch it, a hint of smugness flashing in its crimson eyes, before it shook its pink tentacles even more vigorously.

The sensory system on the suction cups transmitted the little mermaid's scent and body temperature. The slightly refreshing fragrance seemed to seep into his brain. A tentacle that was slightly longer than the other arms and had no suction cups at the front paused.

After a moment of silence, the tentacle began to tremble slightly.

However, the little mermaid was oblivious to all of this. Her gaze was drawn to the wrist that was sucking on her fingertips and was beginning to turn pink.

Will it change color again?

"Was this something that could be changed at will?"

“No.” The giant octopus’s voice remained soft and ethereal, inconsistent with its enormous and terrifying appearance. “The color comes from my mood.”

"Hmm?" Chao Sheng ran her other hand over the pink surface of her wrist and foot. Not noticing anything unusual, she asked curiously, "Are you happy now?"

"That's why it turned pink?"

The octopus's other tentacle wrapped around the mischievous hand, the sticky texture clinging to the fair skin. Gu Xian said earnestly, "When it feels happy and joyful, its color will lighten."

Chao Sheng nodded, thinking that Gu Xian had confirmed her words, and exclaimed with admiration, "It's truly amazing!"

Such a vast ocean has given birth to so many amazing creatures.

Her pink arms swayed, and Gu Xian's voice carried a gentle, seductive tone, "Do you like it?"

"Hmm?" Chao Sheng's expression changed slightly, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes. "What did you just say?"

The tentacles wrapped around Chao Sheng's arm retracted, and the giant octopus instantly transformed into a handsome man, his pale lips curving slightly. "What I mean is, I rarely see a female who isn't afraid of my beast form."

Chao Sheng's expression softened, and a genuine smile appeared in her eyes. "I think it looks great."

Unlike the cuteness of Dumbo the Octopus, Gu Xian's beast form is indeed quite beautiful.

"You're the first female to say that."

A deep smile played on her red eyes, and a hint of black mist rose in the depths of her gaze, faintly revealing Gu Xian's past of being ostracized and called disgusting.
