Still not quite used to using a fishtail.
Even while swimming underwater, Xiao Jinsheng still retained the habit of walking with legs on land.
As a result, her fishtail swayed close to the golden-white seabed.
With every flick of her tail, ripples stirred in the water, brushing against a patch of soothing coolness.
Xiao Jinsheng paused her swimming motion, hesitating before letting her tail graze the seabed again.
What she touched felt oddly familiar.
Startled, she lowered her gaze and saw Shi Xie curled up alone on the sand, his fishtail tucked in, hugging his arms as his body trembled.
His complexion was pallid, completely devoid of color.
"Shi Xie!" Xiao Jinsheng called out anxiously, rushing over and pulling him into her embrace.
"Shi Xie, what’s wrong with you?" she asked urgently, channeling Healing Elent energy into him without ceasing.
"Don’t worry about ," Shi Xie waved her off, pushing away her touch.
He clenched his teeth against the pain and leaned weakly against the giant rock behind him.
"You’re already this fragile—how can I not care about you?" Xiao Jinsheng replied in a flustered tone.
As she spoke, she held onto Shi Xie’s hand tightly, ready to continue healing him.
"You’ve already saved once," Shi Xie murmured weakly. "There’s no need to waste more energy saving again. What happens to afterward has nothing to do with you."
"What kind of nonsense is that?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted with an exasperated laugh.
Among the seven Beast Husbands, she had never felt the urge to hit Shi Xie.
But today, she couldn’t hold back.
With a flick of her wrist, Xiao Jinsheng manipulated the water and swept Shi Xie into the current.
Twisting her hand lightly, she controlled the water flow, sending Shi Xie directly onto the giant shell-shaped bed.
"Xiao Jinsheng, what are you doing misusing your powers?" Shi Xie exclaid, his eyes wide and brimming with confusion.
"Disciplining you because you won’t listen," Xiao Jinsheng replied, swimming to the bedside and giving him a firm shove.
Already weakened, Shi Xie fell limply onto the bed.
"As your future Female Master, I have every right to discipline you," Xiao Jinsheng declared, forming Ice Water Chains to bind him securely to the shell bed.
At the sa ti, she used Healing Elent energy with her other hand to carefully examine Shi Xie’s body.
"You also know it’s ’future’ Female Master—what qualifications do you have to discipline now?" Shi Xie said coldly, attempting to rise.
Xiao Jinsheng leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips.
With her fingertips, she traced circles over the glowing blue rmaid Contractual Totem, half-hidden by the sheer white fabric on his chest: "Now then? Do I have the right to discipline you now?"
"The Contractual Totem has activated—our bond is... no small matter~"
"You!" Shi Xie’s pale face flushed an intense shade of red, all the way down to his fishtail.
His icy-blue fishtail took on a strangely pinkish hue in that mont.
Gazing down at the glowing Contractual Totem on his chest, he pressed his lips tightly together, his body trembling.
"Where exactly is your body feeling unwell?" Xiao Jinsheng asked after checking for a long ti but finding nothing.
Despite her examination, Shi Xie’s condition appeared far from good.
"Don’t bother looking. Even if you find it, you can’t heal it," Shi Xie said with a bitter laugh.
"I’m Seven Stars in Healing Elent," Xiao Jinsheng replied.
"My heart has a crack," Shi Xie said with a weak smile. "You can’t cure that."
What Shi Xie didn’t say was that earlier today, Xiao Jinsheng had killed Sha Qing and Grey Thief to save his life; in truth, it had all been in vain.
The crack in his heart had always been kept stable by Superpower Energy, allowing him to live like a normal person.
But following the recent pursuit and injuries, even the energy protecting his heart had dispersed.
Shi Xie knew that without formidable strength, he wouldn’t live much longer.
"So your heart problem has been there all along," Xiao Jinsheng said, visibly surprised.
Her first Contractual Totem with Shi Xie had been because of the heart fissure, requiring him to enter the Space for treatnt.
And to truly heal the heart’s injury, only a Nine Stars Healing Elent could suffice.
After Shi Xie successfully signed the Contractual Totem and bound a marital relationship with Xiao Jinsheng through the terminal, his physical health had also improved.
Yet even Yu Yunxiao’s current Seven Stars Healing Superpower had been unable to completely cure Shi Xie.
"That’s why I’ve always been a dying man," Shi Xie said weakly, lying back on the bed and looking at Xiao Jinsheng. "Tomorrow, when you return to shore, I’ll send you away."
"I’m not going anywhere," Xiao Jinsheng replied, settling lightly on the bedside and placing her palm against his heart, continuing her healing efforts.
"Yes, my current Healing Elent can’t cure you just yet," she admitted.
"But I can ease your pain."
Yu Yunxiao had once suppressed Shi Xie’s heart condition with his abilities.
Xiao Jinsheng, having learned from Yu Yunxiao himself, was fully confident she could manage Shi Xie’s condition.
Golden, warm light continuously enveloped Shi Xie.
As Xiao Jinsheng’s spiritual power diminished level by level, Shi Xie’s barely-breathing state gradually improved.
He even regained the strength to break free from the Ice Water Chain cuffing his ankle.
"Shi Xie, do you feel any better now?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, her face lighting up with joy as she saw him rise.
Shi Xie, however, stared at her with suspicion: "Why are you so good to ?"
"Hm?" Xiao Jinsheng tilted her head, puzzled.
"Why save ? Heal ? Avenge ?" Shi Xie asked, his gaze unwavering as it t hers this ti.
He even leaned closer, his beautiful blue eyes shimring like a dreamlike ocean with starlight reflected within.
"Are you this kind to simply because you see as your future Beast Husband?" Shi Xie pressed further.
"Is it not right to be kind to one’s Beast Husband?" Xiao Jinsheng arched an eyebrow in response.
"But what if—I’m not your Beast Husband in the future?" Shi Xie’s icy gaze now carried a sharp edge, fixed on Xiao Jinsheng. "Would you still save , be kind to ?"
Xiao Jinsheng didn’t respond, instead poking the glowing rmaid Contractual Totem on his chest: "With the contract in place, what do you think?"
"That’s enough, little brother. You’re too young to be overthinking like this," Xiao Jinsheng said, cupping his face comfortingly. "Your injuries will heal, your strength will grow, and you’ll be good to too."
Shi Xie listened initially, his heart secretly rejoicing.
But as he kept listening, he suddenly realized sothing was amiss.
"I’ll be good to you too?" Shi Xie couldn’t hold back his question. "Are you sure you didn’t get that part wrong?"
"Of course I didn’t get it wrong. I’m your Female Master, shouldn’t you be good to ?" Xiao Jinsheng said confidently.
Sorry.
She wasn’t soone who liked to suffer losses.
"Now that you’re my Female Master," Shi Xie’s eyes darkened as he continued, "will you take ho? Or do you plan to stay here with ?"
This..." Xiao Jinsheng hesitated instantly.
After all, she knew from the Insect Brain that Bai Yan’s tiline allowed her to stay here for 48 hours.
Because of Bai Yan and the Insect Brain, she had returned to this tiline seven years in the past.
Clearly.
She would also return to her rightful tiline because of Bai Yan and the Insect Brain.
This question from Shi Xie left Xiao Jinsheng montarily speechless.
Seeing her struggle to answer, Shi Xie’s gaze grew even more somber.
He hadn’t forgotten.
Xiao Jinsheng had appeared in his arms out of nowhere.
Aside from her spiritual power, her other high-level abilities, and the Beastified rmaid traits, two of these qualities were not sothing typical of the females on Mist Continent.
