Chapter 1829: Chapter 1826: Sea Monster!
Although Beiming Xue always said that emotions are poison and she should not touch them.
Yet, she was very curious about the feelings between her senior sister Wui Nishang and that King Huai of Chu.
Every time, she listened with great interest.
Sometimes, in her bright and peerless eyes, a hint of longing would flash.
But every time she expressed her incomprehension, her senior sister would always end with a seemingly perfunctory response, “You’ll understand when you meet someone you like.”
Beiming Xue believed that in the Three Thousand Worlds, there couldn’t possibly be someone who could tug at her heartstrings like her senior sister.
As Beiming Xue was thinking this, Li Chen’s somewhat uneasy voice suddenly sounded.
“Excuse me, where is this place?”
At this moment, Li Chen, looking at the boundless sea around him, felt as if he was on Noah’s Ark.
Beiming Xue flashed a charming smile at Li Chen and replied, “This is the Northern Territory!”
Beiming Xue’s smile was very beautiful, with two faint dimples, making her look quite adorable.
Thinking of this, the figure of Ye Chuxue reappeared in Li Chen’s mind.
When Ye Chuxue smiled, she also had two small dimples.
But then he remembered that Ye Chuxue, the girl who said she wanted to spend her life with him, was now gone,
unconsciously, tears welled up, marking two light trails on his cheeks.
This scene left Beiming Xue somewhat puzzled.
She couldn’t understand why this man would hear “Northern Territory” and start to cry.
Could the Northern Territory be that terrifying?
“What’s wrong with you?”
Beiming Xue’s lively eyes fluttered with curiosity as she asked.
Li Chen, realizing he was a bit out of control, quickly wiped away the tears and said hastily, “I’m fine, just thinking of some sad things!”
“Sad things? What kind of sad things, tell me about it?”
Beiming Xue, like an innocent child, asked eagerly.
Her expression suggested she was quite expectant.
“Uh?”
This made Li Chen feel a bit embarrassed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Wui Nishang noticed the awkward atmosphere and stepped in to mediate.
“Xue’er, don’t be mischievous!”
After saying this, she smiled slightly at Li Chen.
“My junior sister doesn’t understand, please don’t mind her!”
Hearing Wui Nishang’s words, Li Chen awkwardly smiled again without saying anything more.
At this point, Beiming Xue cheerfully said to Li Chen once more.
“Look at you, silly!”
Hearing Beiming Xue’s teasing, Li Chen laughed even more foolishly.
Just then, the originally calm sea surface suddenly surged with monstrous waves.
The waves on Earth, a hundred meters high, would already be at the limit.
But this giant wave in front of them, however, soared millions of meters high, directly into the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Li Chen was dumbfounded with fear.
Even more frightening events were yet to come!
In the whirlpool’s center of the giant wave, a menacing eight-legged giant beast appeared.
“What… what… what kind of monster is this?”
Li Chen was astonished, barely able to speak.
Beiming Xue, seeing Li Chen scared like this, said with disdain: “Just a small Eight-legged Sea Beast, is there a need to be this frightened?”
“Uh?”
Faced with Beiming Xue’s sarcastic remark, Li Chen genuinely didn’t know how to respond.
Moreover, compared to Wui Nishang and Beiming Xue’s calm demeanor, his own earlier panic was truly embarrassing.
Wui Nishang, seeing Li Chen’s embarrassment, smiled slightly and came to his aid: “Xue’er, he’s just an ordinary person, he’s never seen such a monster. His reaction is quite normal. The first time I saw it, I was even more scared than him!”
Hearing Wui Nishang’s words, Beiming Xue made a face at Li Chen.
“Coward, watch how I deal with this beast!”
With that, not waiting for Li Chen’s reply, Beiming Xue drew her sword and soared into the sky.
“Shing!”
A snow-white Sword Shadow, like a Bai Hong crossing the sun, swept across the sky towards the Eight-legged Sea Beast.
The Eight-legged Sea Beast waved its mighty body, stirring up a massive wave, crashing down like an overwhelming force towards Beiming Xue.
Seeing this, Li Chen shouted in concern.
“Be careful!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Beiming Xue turned back and flashed a smile.
“Hehe, just a little Eight-legged Beast, is it worth making a fuss over?”
As she spoke, she casually swung her sword, slicing through the air.
“Splash!”
With one strike, the massive wave stirred by the Eight-legged Giant Beast was sliced in half like tofu.
The cohesive and formidable Sword Intent, after tearing apart the giant wave, did not lose any momentum, extending directly towards the Eight-legged Giant Beast with an overwhelming force.
The Eight-legged Giant Beast was startled and instinctively raised a giant claw to block.
“Crack!”
However, as soon as its giant claw made contact with Beiming Xue’s Sword Intent, it was immediately severed.
“Splat!”
Blood gushed out, staining the whole sea in a glaring shade of red.
In pain, the Eight-legged Giant Beast retreated rapidly into the depths of the sea and fled.
In response, Beiming Xue did not pursue, sheathed her sword, and with a single maneuver, landed steadily in front of Li Chen again.
At this moment, Li Chen was already struck dumb with awe.
He never expected to witness a scene that only appeared in fantasy films with his own eyes.
Moreover, it was far more shocking than those low-budget fantasy films, leaving him utterly speechless.
Beiming Xue approached, gently patted Li Chen’s shoulder, and playfully said:
“Hey, coward, are you so scared that you’ve become stupid?”
Li Chen, hearing Beiming Xue call him a coward, felt a bit embarrassed.
Yet, for a moment he didn’t know how to refute it.
After all, his earlier actions were certainly not courageous.
The phrase “coward” wasn’t entirely inaccurate.
“Xue’er, stop it!”
Wui Nishang, seeing Li Chen’s awkwardness, smiled kindly and intervened.
“Hehe!”
Beiming Xue covered her mouth and laughed, then glanced askance at her senior sister Wui Nishang.
“Senior Sister, what should we do with him? We can’t possibly bring him back to the palace. The master will definitely be angry!”
Wui Nishang didn’t answer Beiming Xue’s question directly but instead asked with a casual counter.
“Then what do you think we should do?”
Beiming Xue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t know either!”
“However, seeing how weak he is, if we leave him here, it’s likely he won’t last long before being devoured by the sea monsters without leaving a single bone.”
