Usually, those old things didn’t move, but he hadn’t expected the little girl to find this place so quickly and disturb them.

Was the thing they were looking for really that important?

The black snake’s vertical pupils caught sight of the girl gazing up and the tall man standing beside her. Although he couldn’t see their faces clearly, the black snake hissed and extended its forked tongue.

He wanted to make a perfect appearance.

To let the little girl know how his beauty was increasing day by day.

The smiling sea monster was stopped by the black snake, and the eerie split in its mouth slowly turned towards Wen Yu.

Thus, the two deep-sea behemoths began to fight.

Yao Yao exclaimed, “Wow.”

She cowered behind Chong Yan and couldn’t help but watch the battle.

The black snake moved its tail in a graceful manner as if it had been meticulously choreographed.

Chong Yan’s raised hand trembled.

He pursed his lips and retracted his hand.

The seawater churned madly, and numerous schools of fish swam in dazzling colors, surging back and forth.

But the smiling sea monster didn’t seem very clever. It attempted to directly bite the snake, but the snake was a hundred times more agile. The black snake circled around the giant sea monster several times with its magnificent tail, and then began to tighten its grip, bringing death closer.

The split in the mouth of the smiling sea monster widened, its entire body squeezed and blood oozed out, emitting an extremely sharp sound wave in the depths of the sea.

Yao Yao quickly covered her ears.

Wen Yu, stop. If they kept fighting, it wouldn’t look good.

The black snake released its grip.

The smiling sea monster finally managed to escape from the grip of death. It had originally intended to devour its prey, but now there were two powerful creatures present. It retreated to the end of the path in the deep sea.

Yao Yao stared intently.

The dark seawater had no direction, but the sea monster could discern it. That was where they would go later.

Yao Yao had a clue and also witnessed a sea battle. She clapped her hands in admiration, grateful to the black snake.

Chong Yan’s lips turned pale.

But he could do it too.

He didn’t need to transform. He could do it.

The black snake turned its head with satisfaction.

He felt that he had come at just the right time. His beautiful snakeine form had been displayed perfectly. Confidently, he transformed into human form, landing on the ground and walking towards them.

Yao Yao was momentarily stunned. “It’s you.”

He was the young servant who poured tea at the banquet.

When Yao Yao encountered the snake, he had only been a snake, so she hadn’t seen his human form.

The current black snake had transformed into a black-haired young man with handsome, distinct features. He exuded an air of superiority and arrogance, yet he appeared outgoing.

“It’s me, little pearl,” the snake said, exuding charm as he approached.

Yao Yao scratched her head, trying to process this piece of information about the snake turning into a human.

Meanwhile, Chong Yan’s hand at his side clenched silently, a sense of savage cruelty invading his territory.

But he didn’t want to go crazy.

He assured himself that it was fine.

His rose was still by his side.

She hadn’t chosen him.

His aura grew colder, powerful yet distant, as if upholding a shred of dignity.

Wen Yu finished showcasing himself and believed that the little girl should be satisfied with everything she had seen. Finally, he looked toward the man standing next to her with a smug smile.

Chong Yan stood silently without saying a word.

He had no expression, his amber eyes indifferent.

Like all things, like frost and ice.

But suddenly, the confident smile on the black snake’s face faltered.

He had never seen a god before, after all, he wasn’t a real god.

But who is this person and why do they look like this?

With a critical gaze, Wen Yu scrutinized the face and figure of the person, but couldn’t find any flaws, as if this person was a miracle.

Yao Yao felt a magnetic collision stronger than the fight between sea monsters just now.

Oh, uh, well…

Wen Yu’s magnificent snake tail began to crawl darkly on the ground.

This person’s immense power, he couldn’t possibly be just a human.

“Where is your animal form? Why don’t you transform?” Wen Yu asked aggressively, looking at Chong Yan, “Are you afraid?”

He was actually speaking without thinking. Because he was struck by the other person’s superior appearance, his snake worldview was shaken, so he had to defend himself in his most confident way.

However, the black snake accidentally hit the Chong Yan’s bitter and painful brokenness.

Chong Yan’s hand clenched palely for a moment. He couldn’t even bring himself to look at Yao Yao’s expression.

He could easily tear apart that sea monster.

No need for a fight.

He could split the sea floor.

He would also work hard to complete his own brokenness.

But he couldn’t erase the scars.

Nor could he erase the memories she had witnessed.

But, but…

Chong Yan tightened his lips and glanced at her.

But she was still standing by his side.

She didn’t leave him because of the other magnificent beasts.

Even her small face looked serious as she said to the black snake, “You’re not allowed to say such things about Chong Yan.”

Children shouldn’t attack each other’s flaws.

That’s really bad.

What’s wrong with scars? Scars are also a kind of beauty.

And back when Yao Yao gave him pearls, he hadn’t even transformed into a human yet, but she still admired his beauty.

The black snake stared at her for a while, blinked his eyes, lowered his head, and whispered, “Okay.”

Wen Yu didn’t know what she meant to that person, but for the snake, the little pearl was his first affirmation, letting him know that he was beautiful and that he appeared after waiting for thousands of years.

But he was just a little snake from the sea, unaware that there was a place called Forsaken Abyss in this world, and unaware that there was a demon who had been sitting there for even longer, with his eyes gouged out and his heart and bones ripped apart.

Yao Yao nodded, “Mhmm.”

Everyone should be harmonious and friendly.

Encountering the little black snake was fate, but her deepest connection, her firmest choice, had already been made long ago.

Chong Yan lowered his eyes, and the cold palm regained a hint of warmth.

He was the only one. Special.

Alright.

“But I was the most beautiful from the beginning, right? When you gave me the little pearl.” The little black snake asked.

As the words fell, Chong Yan’s expression became blank.

Baffled, standing there all alone.

Even though the moisture on his body had already frozen, in that moment, he seemed to truly become a wet beast.
