CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 147 YOU’RE TOO GOOD FOR A FOOL_1

After the aquarium was filled with the clear water from Dark Sun Lake, Sen Ran, the serpent Beastman, expressionlessly placed Si Yan, the little mermaid, into the tank.

Si Yan sank into the aquarium and felt very refreshed. After swimming around for several laps, she popped her head out.

Dongchi and Nan Mo, the two little ones, also joined in the fun, jumping into the tank and swimming tirelessly, sending splashes everywhere.

Si Yan lay on the edge of the aquarium, smiling as she watched Wang.

"Is there something you want to talk about?" the serpent Beastman asked.

Si Yan’s large eyes were clear and bright, curving like beautiful crescent moons. "Great Demon King, may I know some things about the Delusional Domain?"

The serpent Beastman nodded gently. "Of course. What would you like to know?"

"The Delusional Domain, it must be quite large, right?"

"Large. Larger than Myriad Beasts City."

"Are there many Beastmen?"

"Many. There are seven to eight thousand serpent Beastmen and two to three thousand from the Fox Clan. The merfolk have only recently joined; their numbers are the fewest, just over a dozen."

That would be almost ten thousand in total.

Seven to eight thousand serpent Beastmen?!

All seven to eight thousand serpent Beastmen perished in this disaster?!

"What’s wrong?" Wang, able to clearly see every slight expression in her eyes, lowered his gaze. His deep and probing eyes gently rested on her.

Si Yan looked up, her tone much more serious. "Great Demon King, the Fox Clan Beastmen are not to be trusted. They are not our friends."

Hearing her mention the Fox Clan so earnestly, Wang recalled and said, "The Fox Clan fell into distress more than a decade ago and sought our help; hence, the former lord of the Delusional Domain took them in."

The serpent Beastmen had once saved the distressed Fox Clan, but in the end, the Fox Clan would betray them. It is indeed a story of The Farmer and the Viper.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, the cold-blooded serpent Beastman gently tapped her head, reassuring her, "Yan Yan, I have never trusted them."

Si Yan weighed her options.

Water cellars had been constructed in large quantities, which earned her significant goodwill from the cold-blooded serpent beastmen.

The news of the Fox Clan’s untrustworthiness had also been successfully passed on to Wang.

As for Jie Ling, she had already killed her.

This disaster should be over.

But deep down, she still felt a vague unease.

She always felt that things wouldn’t go so smoothly.

The gecko in the space rolled over and said, "Kiddo, you’re currently full of mettle, and I really don’t want to dampen your spirits, but I still want to tell you that the World’s Female Lead might not be dead."

Hearing this, Si Yan sat up abruptly. "What did you say?!"

"Your real opponent isn’t the World’s Female Lead but that thing above your head. If you were him and the World’s Female Lead, the center of your destiny, faced disaster, what would you do?"

Si Yan pursed her lips. "Save her."

"Exactly."

"But I clearly crushed her heart to pieces. This isn’t the modern world; can she undergo heart surgery or get a heart transplant?"

"While this may not be the modern world, that thing in the sky can still keep her alive."

「Outside Dark Sun Lake, in a hidden cave.」

The White Fox female was wrapped entirely in beast skin bandages. Especially around the massive hole in her chest, a huge clump of flesh and blood had been stuffed.

This was a horrific wound that would absolutely be fatal in the Beast World.

Yet, despite such a grievous injury, she was still breathing.

Suddenly, the female’s eyes snapped open, filled with ferocity.

Next to her, in addition to Hu Que and Ying Zhao, there were two Purple Crystal Beastmen.

One was Yuan Dingshan, a Purple Crystal Ape Tribe Beastman.

The other, a black Dragon Clan member named Dark Saint, stood a bit further away, his gaze directed towards the sky outside the cave.

Jie Ling’s life had been saved using the Dragon Clan’s most precious treasure: ambergris, left behind by a previous, missing Beast God.

Dark Saint lazily sat on a rock in front of the cave. He said, "What’s been implanted inside you are the internal organs of a male Red Crystal Fox from the outside world. You’ve been given the ambergris. Before long, your body will be able to adapt to these organs and re-integrate. Male Red Crystal physiques are stronger than females’, and I believe after your recovery, your physique will be somewhat stronger than before."

Jie Ling withdrew her fierce gaze, showing a wan smile. "Dark Saint... you actually came."

The black Dragon Clan member slightly turned his eyes. His aura was now linked with Jie Ling’s destiny.

"It wasn’t my own wish to come here," he stated. Before he came, the Sky itself had communicated with him; it was the Sky that had asked him to come.

"I don’t have time to linger here with you."

"Where are you going?"

"Myriad Beasts City."

Jie Ling raised an eyebrow. "Dark Saint, what are you going to Myriad Beasts City for?"

The black Dragon Clan member said indifferently, "I only found out when I left my clan that when I was very young, my parents had betrothed me to a female as her Zheng Xiong."

Jie Ling became anxious and asked, "Who?"

Dark Saint was of the Dragon Clan, which rarely left their mountains, and Jie Ling had only occasionally encountered him.

He was the most important male in Jie Ling’s conquest targets!

Dark Saint suddenly revealed a mocking smile. "A fool."

He was the most outstanding talent of the Dragon Clan’s younger generation! Aside from those Golden Dragons who never descended from the mountains, who could match him? How could he possibly become a Beast Husband to a fool?! Even if he were to die, he wouldn’t like a fool, let alone be willing to be a Beast Husband to one!

Jie Ling relaxed her raised eyebrows and chuckled lightly. "Yeah, a fool definitely doesn’t deserve you."

Dark Saint said arrogantly, "I’m going to Myriad Beasts City. No matter what, I have to dissolve this ridiculous mate bond first."

The weather was getting hotter, and the water outside the cisterns was diminishing at a visible rate.

Si Yan grew more anxious. However, the serpent Beastmen were very sensitive to heat. They were trying their hardest, so Si Yan did not rush them.

Finally, the day of raging flames fully arrived, and the whole world seemed as if it had been boiled. By then, most of the cisterns outside Dark Sun Lake had been successfully completed, and water resources were successfully stored.

During this time, Si Yan often spent time with She Wang, so much so that she could be described as stuck to him.

Consequently, during this period, Si Yan’s space and her Wood-based Ability had seen considerable growth.

She examined her space; it had grown to almost one hundred square meters. She could also use her Wood-based Ability freely. The gecko had planted all sorts of miscellaneous things in the fertile land within her space, which actually measured a little over one hundred square meters. These included rice, strawberries, tomatoes, chili peppers, Sichuan peppers, Paralysis Fruits, and so on.

The land area wasn’t large, so not much of each kind was planted, but the gecko tried to maintain a wide variety of species.

In another small section of the space, the ice stockpiled from the Silver Wolf Tribe had not completely melted. Thus, some frozen meat, along with quite a few vegetables and processed grains and flours, were also kept there.

As the space expanded, the gecko’s working area also grew. He worked like a diligent farmer, constantly fiddling with Si Yan’s Sun Simulator Lamp.

While tinkering, he said, "Thanks to these plants, your space is already starting to contain oxygen, carbon dioxide, and various other gases. In the future, even if you put some living things in here, they can survive for a short time. However, your sun is still fake. If only you could have a real sun one day!"

Si Yan replied, "This is already quite good. How could a real sun even be possible? This is just a small space. How could a celestial body like a star possibly fit inside?!"

The gecko chuckled twice. "That’s true, we shouldn’t be too ambitious for now."

Si Yan said, "The day of raging flames is really hot; even Dark Sun Lake feels like it’s starting to evaporate. When can my fishtail turn back into legs? Being human is better; being a fish is really inconvenient."

In the cave, Si Yan’s fish tank had very little water left.

Even the merpeople outside had taken refuge in one of the ownerless cisterns previously made by the serpent Beastmen to survive.

The gecko coughed twice and said, "Kiddo, when you were struck by lightning, your face was covered in mud, and your body was smeared with Quiet Grass. Actually, you only needed to wash up and change clothes, and the Sky wouldn’t have recognized you. It wasn’t necessary to turn into a fish."

Si Yan’s eyes widened. "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Well, I saw how much fun you were having."

Si Yan wordlessly spat out the Fish Pearl from her mouth.

Following that, her long fishtail gradually transformed into delicate and slender legs. They were beautifully tender and slim.
