"Guru Guru~"

The girl submerged almost her entire body in the water, blowing bubbles underwater with her small mouth.

This is Skadi's favorite moment of the day: relaxing in the bathtub listening to music, with nothing and no one able to disturb her tranquility.

The unfamiliar place and the unfamiliar people did not make her feel lonely.

In her quiet, undisturbed, and solitary life, Skadi found a new companion: her own heart. As she soaked in the bathtub, she seemed to gain a deeper understanding of nature, of her own being, and of everything that had ever happened to her.

"It's fine like this... "

Anyone who gets close to me will only get hurt.

The girl's fair hand extended out of the water, the faint sound it made was like the echo of the tide, as if pulling one into the dark abyss of memory.

Skadi was once just an electrician in the underwater civilization of Agor. After her parents died in the Sea Child, she chose to undergo the Deepsea Hunter transformation, merging the Sea Child's flesh and blood into her body to become a powerful Deepsea Hunter.

The Deep Sea Hunters are an elite squad of the Agor civilization fighting against the Sea Siren. The powerful physical attributes brought by the flesh and blood of the Sea Siren make each Deep Sea Hunter's fighting spirit and patience astonishing. Their secret weapons can bring unexpected surprises to the enemy.

However, in a siege against the Sea Gods, the Deepsea Hunters were almost completely wiped out, and Skadi became Isamara's successor after coming into contact with the blood of the newborn Isamara.

Skadi was unaware that several of her teammates had also survived; in her eyes, she was the sole survivor of that great battle.

Resisting assimilation by the sea creatures, she chose to leave the deep sea and come to the interior of Terra, far away from everything that had happened before. But she knew very well that the blood flowing in her veins would eventually lead her to fall into the deep sea and merge into the tide.

But at least for now, she can have a moment of leisure.

The misty water vapor, the hazy music, the faint sound of the tide—everything was so peaceful and serene.

The girl lay in the bathtub, slowly closing her eyes and drifting into a dream.

As Skadi fell asleep in the bathtub, a somewhat ethereal figure slowly emerged from the misty steam.

It was none other than Haku Xun, who used the power of the Goat God to astral projection and arrive here.

Given Skadi's current personality and her self-perceived "lone star" debuff, Bai Xun didn't think he could achieve anything good by directly contacting Skadi.

Otherwise, he will be ignored, or he will personally experience what it means to unleash the power of 990,000 horsepower with the Whale-Slaying Fist.

It's not that I can't beat them, but that would make it difficult to communicate with Skadi afterwards.

"Do you not only sleep in the bathtub, but even leave the water running while you're asleep?"

Watching the water continuously overflowing from the bathtub, Bai Xun couldn't help but complain.

With this usage, he felt that at least half of Skadi's electrician's salary went to paying water bills.

The ethereal spirit slowly floated to the front of the bathtub, and Bai Xun looked down and carefully examined Skadi, who was soaking in the Dream of Flowing Water.

As if completely unaware of her arrival, the white-haired girl was still fast asleep, her chest rising and falling slowly and calmly, and the barely perceptible pulsation of her neck held an unimaginable attraction for Bai Xun.

If I weren't just a soul right now, I probably would have found it hard to resist taking a bite and experiencing what this so-called "Sea Heir Divine Blood" tasted like.

If that were the case, Terra would probably have to enter the Sea Heir's doomsday scenario in Moon Rogue ahead of schedule.

Although Red Ti's strength is far superior to that of a certain Ti Ti who can block one and fight one, for the sake of this land, Bai Xun's big head still defeated Rabbit Head and Little Head this time.

Following the pulse down her neck, everything was so pleasing to the eye that it was hard to imagine that this beautiful sleeping beauty in the water possessed such awe-inspiring power.

The sleeping girl seemed to be dreaming of something bad; her beautiful embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her slightly shifting body created a soft sound in the bathtub, like the surging tide.

Bai Xun's body slowly descended, his hand caressing the girl's face as he whispered...

"Skadi, I'm coming in~"

If you don't refuse, I'll take that as your agreement.

Naturally, even in her sleep, Skadi couldn't refuse Hakuhiro's entry.

Hakuhiro touched the girl's forehead to hers, allowing his soul to enter the darkest depths of Skadi's consciousness.

..............................................

The moisture grew thicker, and the sound of the waves became more pronounced. A gentle sea breeze blew against our faces, but it brought with it an overwhelming, pungent smell of blood.

Bai Xun opened his eyes, and everything he saw was crimson.

Countless corpses floated on the blood-stained sea, some belonging to sea creatures, others to deep-sea hunters.

The beaches and reefs are littered with all sorts of mangled corpses, but the relentless waves continue to bring more and more bodies ashore.

Pale white "flowers" bloom everywhere, dismembering the remains of their kin or humans along with the convulsing, writhing dinosaurs among their branches and leaves.

In the distance, terrifying tentacles roam the sea, stretching out from the abyss to reach the clouds, gathering dark clouds that obscure the light of the stars and the moon.

But in this dark and desolate world, a touch of radiant light still remains.

Amidst a mountain of corpses, a sea of ​​blood, and broken blades of soldiers, a young girl, her face stained with blood, defiantly supports her greatsword, standing tall and unyielding.

The flesh torn apart by the tentacles and sharp teeth recovered in no time, but the color of the flowing blood became increasingly dark until it was indistinguishable from the blood of Hai Si, who died by its sword.

On the massive mountain of sea monster corpses, Skadi slowly sat down, leaning against the giant sword planted in the ground. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a figure that should never have been there.

"Ok?"

Skadi frowned as she watched Bai Xun slowly climb the mountain of corpses and stand before her.

"Your dream is really creepy, like you've stepped into a Cthulhu movie set."

Bai Xun greeted Skadi quite naturally, as if they were just friends who had met by chance in the park. This seemed particularly absurd amidst the dark and terrifying scene of corpses and blood, making Skadi realize that something was wrong.

"You are..."

Although we've only met once, it's the first time we've seen each other today, and Bai Xun's white hair and blood-red eyes, which are exactly the same as his own, are quite striking.

Most importantly, Skadi vividly remembered the young man who asked her, "Master, what do you do for a living?" while she was repairing electrical wires, which also made her recognize him.

Why would I dream of a stranger? Could it be that I've been away from home for too long and seeing someone with white hair and red eyes just like me made me mistake him for an Agorian?

Thinking of this, Skadi couldn't help but shake her head with a self-deprecating smile.

Do I really crave companions and my hometown that much?

"While this may indeed be your dream, I am not the person in your dream."

The dark clouds stirred up by the tentacles dispersed slightly, allowing a sliver of the bright moonlight to pour down, just enough to illuminate the two people sitting opposite each other atop the mountain of corpses.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Bai Xun, a blood demon who does this out of interest."

Upon hearing Bai Xun's self-introduction, Skadi's brows furrowed even deeper.

"You entered my dream?"

Skadi's tone was very calm, but her slender hand had already gripped the hilt of the greatsword again, and the tide surged with her consciousness, summoning waves.

"Don't be so nervous, I mean no harm."

In front of the wary girl, Bai Xun smiled and spread his hands.

"As you saw during the day, I run a law firm, so it's obvious I'm here to explore business opportunities with you."

The customer service novice opened the clipboard in a second and started offering a professional smile.

“I know what you’re running away from, and I know what you’re looking for. I can help you with the former right now, and I also have some clues about the latter. These are all within my scope of business. So, are you interested in talking to me now?”

"what do you want?"

Skadi still exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

"I don't believe in gifts given for no reason, nor do I think you can be of any help to me."

"You really are so high and mighty."

Bai Xun shook his head helplessly.

How do you know I'm not capable of changing or even taking responsibility for your life?

"What I want is very simple, nothing more than the friendship of a beautiful girl and a tiny bit of 'Isamara' blood... Don't get excited, don't get excited. Of course I know your blood will attract Hai Si, but what if I could take you to a new world where Hai Si doesn't exist?"

Skadi, who was about to speak but was interrupted by Haku, still gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, but her thoughts were not as calm as her expression.

"A brand new...world?"

"Yes, not a world like Agor and Terra, but a completely different world from this planet."

Compared to the people of Terra, the Agor people are undoubtedly much more educated, so Bai Xun knew that Skadi could understand her meaning.

"No matter how strong Hai Si's senses are, they are only limited to this world, while the magical house in my home can lead to other worlds, which is beyond Hai Si's reach."

"You and your remarks are absurd to me."

Skadi still looked unconvinced, but Bai Xun spread her little hands and said,

"You and your race are laughable to me."

Since it's free, why not believe it a little?

"..."

After a long silence, Skadi finally spoke again.

"You know a lot, and you even appeared in my dreams, which makes me suspect that you are one of them."

So, our conversation in the dream ends here; I will come to see you in reality.

"Then I look forward to Miss Skadi's arrival!"

Bai Xun shrugged indifferently and disappeared from Skadi's sight, while Skadi in reality slowly opened her eyes.

She carefully looked around the entire bathroom but found nothing amiss. Only then did she stand up from the bathtub, letting the water droplets slide off her delicate skin onto the floor. She then gathered her long hair, which was almost touching the ground, with her slender arms and casually walked out of the bathroom.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, he pondered what he had seen in his dream.

Could it be true?

Skadi had no idea, but since Haku had already come knocking on her door, it seemed she had no way to back down.

Just as Bai Xun himself said, since it's free, I might as well believe it a little.

What else can I possibly lose now?

Moreover, what truly attracted Skadi, according to Bai Xun, was not the new world that would free her from Hai Si, but rather his claim that he knew what he was looking for and already had clues.

Would he have any information about Goredia and the others?

Even though she knew there was a 99% chance it was fake, Skadi still didn't want to give up any hope.

Based solely on what Bai Xun said, Skadi already sensed that this man's source of information was quite extraordinary.

Information about myself and Hai Si is not something that land dwellers should know.

"I hope you won't let me down."

Otherwise, I'll just have to show you why I'm invincible as a deep-sea hunter.

With that thought in mind, Skadi went into her bedroom and dug out her Deepsea Hunter combat uniform, which she hadn't worn in a long time. She transformed from an ordinary electrician girl back into the powerful and proud Deepsea Hunter.

.........................................

Ah, such tranquility.

My lighthearted book feels like it's missing half its flavor without everyone's comments. Without your feedback and criticism, I also feel very uncomfortable writing. First, I can't look at the readers' new comments every day and hum along. Second, it's not convenient for me to understand where the plot is wrong and make timely corrections. I hope this period of silence will pass soon.

I also hope everyone can come back and post a few more updates after the Great Serenity ends~

Chapter 81 Mei: I want a hot dog! Waskati: Maybe I came at the wrong time. 4k

Although he had obtained the Sheep Talisman for some time, this was the first time Haku Xun had truly used his ability to astral projection and enter dreams.

Because Mei was guarding his body, Hakuhiro didn't need to worry about anything happening to his body when his soul left his body.

wrong!

It seems more dangerous to have Mei guard my unconscious body; who knows what impure things this gravity-defying woman might do to my sweet body.

After leaving Skadi's dream, Bai Xun, who was preparing to catch someone red-handed, did not rush back to his original body. Instead, he wandered around Lungmen for a while as an invisible soul.

A ghost, the ghost of Haku Xun, lingers above Lungmen.

The soul is an ethereal entity, silent and invisible. Not to mention being harmed, ordinary people cannot even detect the existence of Bai Xun's soul. It's as if he has a god's-eye view, floating around to see what his old acquaintances are doing.

At the governor's mansion, he saw Wei Lao Er from afar, who had been forced to sit on the balcony after some argument with Wen Yue, while Wen Yue smiled and took Chen Huijie's hand to sit on the sofa and chat.
