Chapter 102: The Waves Sink and the Person Vanishes
After Li Yang expelled the water from her lungs, she felt much better. Xi Yishuang swam to her side and cupped her pale face, which was flushed from being soaked in water.
"Are you okay?"
At this moment, she felt quite regretful. The little guy's cultivation level was already low, and now she had made him so weak. It was too heartbreaking.
Li Yang shook her head with drooping eyelids, feeling that the waves around her had calmed down. Just as she was about to grab the small boat and climb up, a slippery tentacle suddenly emerged from the water and grabbed her ankle before anyone could react, dragging her down in an instant.
"Gu——!"
"Li Yang!" Xi Yishuang reached out to grab it, but only managed to grab a slippery piece of fabric.
She hurriedly followed her down, saying, "Why are you grabbing her? She's just an ordinary little demon!"
"Li Yang!" Zeng Xu cried anxiously as he lay on the small boat, but he was too weak to do anything.
Mo Yixing had just opened his eyes after fainting when he saw this scene, and he fainted again in his excitement!
"Where's that stupid girl!" A familiar, cold voice came from the screen. Zeng Xu cried out as if he had seen a savior, "Quick...quick...quick, save Li Yang!"
"Get to the point!" Ji Cang was so angry he wanted to punch him. This guy's brain had been ruined after soaking in the water for a while!
"Li Yang disappeared after one wave, and Xi Yishuang went to look for her."
Ji Cang left with the words "I'll go down and take a look" and turned to dive down, leaving only Li Su to guard the two salted fish.
Li Su glanced at them and said disdainfully, "You're dragging us down."
Zeng Xu was half-dead, "We didn't want this either..."
Meanwhile, beneath the surface of the sea, Xi Yishuang swam quickly and caught up with the sea monster, blocking its path. "I already told you she's just an ordinary little monster, why did you still pull her down here!"
Li Yang's stomach was so constricted by the octopus tentacles that she felt like she was about to vomit bile. With her eyelids drooping, she weakly said, "Yes... why did you arrest me? I'm a law-abiding citizen..."
The siren looked at Xi Yishuang with a troubled expression. "We know we shouldn't do this, but we really have no other choice. Please... come with me."
After saying that, he continued to lead Li Yang down into the water. Xi Yishuang glanced back, gritted her teeth, and followed.
Forcibly taking back Li Yang would only attract siren and sea monsters, so it's better to follow it and see what's going on.
Although she had guessed that the sea monster's usurpation was inevitable when she arrived, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. If she remembered correctly, the Demon King's little princess had only just hatched. If the entire sea monster clan were wiped out, then...
Swimming past a group of reefs with trepidation, Xi Yishuang and Li Yang spotted a yellow sea monster with a fish fin on the back of its neck. The sea monster turned to face them like a startled bird, and a sleeping little fish in its arms came into view.
The little fish was covered in soft, silvery-blue scales, and its entire body was not even as thick as the arm of the monster that was holding it. The little fish seemed unaware of the riots outside and remained peacefully asleep in its own world.
Li Yang didn't know the little demon's identity, but Xi Yishuang blurted out, "Little princess?"
"what?"
Li Yang subconsciously looked at the sea monster holding the small fish. Suddenly, the surrounding seawater was stirred up, and broken tails and scales floated out from the depths of the sea.
The two sea monsters exchanged a glance and simultaneously pleaded, "Please, save the little princess! We have no other choice!"
Li Yang raised her hand tremblingly, "Are you still stunned...? Let me go first..."
She's about to vomit bile!
"oh oh."
The octopus monster finally remembered to release Li Yang. Li Yang's eyes were so angry they almost popped out. She tried to calm herself down while adjusting her breathing method according to the ethereal cat's method to ensure she wouldn't suffocate.
"What exactly happened?"
Looking at the fish scales and shell fragments floating around him, and what they had just said, Li Yang had actually guessed some things. It was nothing more than the power struggles and life-or-death battles that happened among humans.
Judging from their conversation, it was clear that Xi Yishuang initially intended to do something to her, but it seemed that her status prevented it, so she abandoned the idea. However, the siren still captured her.
Could it be that my identity as the Demon King has been discovered?
The ethereal cat suddenly said, "My Lord Demon King, I would like to go down and take a look."
Li Yang glanced at Xi Yishuang, "Okay, be careful."
A beam of white light flew out from her sleeve and swam towards the deep sea.
Xi Yishuang looked at Li Yang, hesitant to speak. Seeing this, the yellow sea monster gritted its teeth and stuffed the little fish it was carefully protecting into Li Yang's arms.
Li Yang: ?
“The Sea King knew we were doomed to lose this battle and asked us to bring the little princess out beforehand. But no matter where we go, our sea monster clan can’t leave the sea, so we thought of entrusting the little princess to you.”
"No, then what are you giving this to me for?!"
Li Yang looked at the hot potato in her arms, but the little guy was still fast asleep, completely unaware that its family had 'entrusted' it to someone else.
The two sirens did not answer Li Yang's shouts. In their eyes, Xi Yishuang was the one they could trust. However, according to their observations, this woman was favored by Xi Yishuang, which was why they had captured Li Yang.
It was obvious they had made the right bet, and Xi Yishuang followed suit.
Xi Yishuang looked at them with a complicated expression. "I remember telling the Sea King that any new species that appear on the beach should be eradicated. Now look what's happened! Have the number of sea monsters far exceeded the number of you sirens and are you ambitiously trying to usurp the throne?"
What?
Li Yang was completely confused, but the little one in her arms was sleeping very soundly.
"My Lord Demon King, I have returned. Just as I suspected, the siren is fighting a sea monster with a shell on its back, and the siren is at a disadvantage."
"What specific type of shelled sea monster is it? A mollusk or a snail?"
“Those sea monsters have round shells,” the ethereal cat pondered for a moment, then sighed. “Actually, this is not uncommon. In my inherited memories, the Siren race is often invaded by these foreign sea monsters. Because the sea area is vast and the sea monsters reproduce rapidly, they are also the Siren race’s endless enemy.”
After hearing its explanation, Li Yang suddenly understood.
Well, that explains why there were so many snail shells on the shore. Turns out, they were all golden apple snail shells!
The wicked invasive species have squeezed out the indigenous people, leaving them with no space to live!
"Do you have a way to cure this completely?"
In her world, when golden apple snails became rampant, they would spray pesticides. This method definitely wouldn't work here, so biological control methods would be the only option.
"No, the sea monsters have always been at odds with us land demons, and we can't be bothered with their messes. Demon King, do you intend to help the sea monsters?"
Li Yang thoughtfully pinched her chin. "Didn't you say you wanted me to subdue the sea monster? We're already here."
Not for the sake of the sirens, but just because that damned invasive species, the golden apple snail, could swagger around in the native territory, she couldn't tolerate it.
