Yu Sheng was nearly in despair.
He knew he had no ability to escape from the monster in the sea.
Whether he struggled or not, the final outcome would not change.
So he simply stopped struggling.
The more he moved in the water, the more oxygen he would consume.
Staying calm, perhaps the monster would let him go, and there might still be a glimmer of hope.
However, it was absolutely impossible for a harmful monster to release him voluntarily.
The dragging force from his feet was getting stronger and stronger.
Just as Yu Sheng was about to pass out, he suddenly felt a flash of white light in the pitch - black water.
"Ah!"
A hoarse roar came.
The feeling of being imprisoned on his feet suddenly disappeared.
Yu Sheng felt someone was pulling him upstream.
He tried to open his eyes and saw a handsome face.
Huh?
Where did this handsome guy come from?
After breaking through the water surface, before Yu Sheng could apologize, the cold words of the handsome guy brought him back to his senses instantly.
"Get out of the water quickly and call Nian Nian here."
Yu Sheng didn't listen carefully to the second half of the sentence. After he swam ashore desperately, he just remembered what the handsome guy had said.
Call Nian Nian here?
Did this guy know his sister?
While Yu Sheng was still confused, a childish voice came from behind.
At the same time, he also saw the monster that had dragged him just now.
It was really a man without skin!
The guy who had saved him was now fighting back and forth with the monster.
A peach - wood sword was stabbed straight into the monster's heart, but it didn't seem to cause any harm to the monster.
"Fourth Senior Brother! Step back quickly!"
The childish voice behind him was getting closer. Yu Sheng didn't even see the figure clearly. He only felt something suddenly flew past him with a whoosh.
Well.
Saying "flew" was a bit exaggerated, but that little figure was really too fast to see clearly.
It was not until the little figure rushed in front of the monster that Yu Sheng saw it.
Damn it! It was actually Nian Nian!
The monster was extremely tall. Nian Nian's height didn't even reach the monster's knee.
For her, the monster could definitely be described as a colossus.
Facing such a terrifying thing, the little girl was not afraid at all.
She skillfully took out several yellow talismans from her small satchel, quickly recited the incantation in her mouth, and then flicked her little hand. The yellow talismans flew out.
The talisman papers floated in mid - air, forming a circle and enclosing the monster inside.
Liu Chuchen had already retreated to the back at this moment. He put away his peach - wood sword and stood on the shore, quietly watching the show.
Such a miraculous scene appeared in front of him, but Yu Sheng didn't have time to be amazed.
All he felt was anxiety.
He wasn't a heartless person.
No matter how much he disliked Nian Nian, he couldn't just watch a little girl face such a dangerous thing.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but want to rush over, but just as he took a few steps, his clothes were tightly grabbed by a hand with distinct knuckles.
"Let go of me!"
That nameless anger welled up again.
Even when he turned around and saw that it was his savior who was holding him back, Yu Sheng still lost control of his emotions.
Liu Chuchen rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Don't go over there and cause trouble. Nian Nian can wipe out this kind of trash in a minute."
"What are you talking about? Nian Nian is just a five - year - old child!"
Yu Sheng roared out of control. When he turned around again, he was really slapped in the face.
He saw Nian Nian making hand seals. The several yellow talismans floating in the air gradually gathered.
When the talismans stuck to the monster's body, they spontaneously combusted without fire.
The fire was bright red, and upon closer inspection, it even had a faint green light.
Nian Nian took out a few more talisman papers. It was the same operation. The talisman papers also floated in mid - air and formed a circle.
But the function of this batch of talisman papers was not to burn, but to imprison.
Even though the monster was standing in the water, the fire burning on him showed no sign of going out.
He let out a painful wail, curled up his body and kept rolling.
But no matter how he rolled, he couldn't break through the barrier created by the talismans.
Yu Sheng just watched this monster shrink slowly in the fire until it was completely burned out.
After doing all this, Nian Nian walked up to them with a straight face.
First, she gave Yu Sheng a resentful look.
Then she turned around, raised a smiling face, opened her arms, and sweetly called out to the handsome young man, "Fourth Senior Brother!"
The young man, who had been cold - faced just now, completely changed his temperament at this soft call.
The coldness melted away quickly like an iceberg meeting the warm sun, leaving only indulgence and tenderness in his eyes.
"Let Fourth Senior Brother give you a hug. Well, it seems you've been eating well recently. You've gotten a bit heavier."
The little girl who was suddenly said to be fat: !!!
"No, no. Nian Nian didn't overeat. I didn't get heavier. Fourth Senior Brother can still carry me."
"Haha, no matter how heavy you are, Senior Brother can carry you."
Liu Chuchen gently wiped the cream on the little girl's face that she hadn't had time to wipe off, smiling indulgently.
How anxious must the little girl have been when she came out?
She didn't even have time to wipe her face.
"Hehe, Fourth Senior Brother, why are you here?"
The little girl's face was tickled by Liu Chuchen. She shook her head and dodged for a while, then asked with a smile.
"Uh..."
Liu Chuchen suddenly felt awkward.
Could he say that he had secretly observed what happened at the banquet today, disliked Yu Sheng very much, and came out to wait for him and beat him up?
Could he say such things in front of his junior sister?
Definitely not!
Liu Chuchen's brain was working at high speed. Suddenly, he had an idea. He took out an ancient jade from his pocket and said, "Because it's Nian Nian's birthday today. Fourth Senior Brother came to give you a gift."
"Wow! Such a beautiful jade! Thank you, Senior Brother!"
This jade seemed extremely valuable, but there was no concept of money in Nian Nian's little head. She only thought that this jade was white all over and full of spiritual energy. It would definitely be very useful if made into a jade talisman, so she liked it very much.
Seeing that the little girl liked it so much and couldn't put it down, Liu Chuchen smiled with relief.
The relaxed and happy atmosphere between the two a bit stung Yu Sheng's eyes.
Why did he feel so awkward?
Nian Nian was supposed to be his sister, right?
Why did it seem that these two were more like siblings?
Then what was he?
Yu Sheng firmly refused to admit that he was jealous.
He desperately suppressed the jealousy welling up in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but he did something inappropriate that ruined the atmosphere.
"By the way, what was that monster just now?"
As soon as Yu Sheng finished speaking, he received a cold glare from Liu Chuchen.
He knew this guy was definitely not a good thing.
Didn't he see that they were having a heart - to - heart talk?
Such a spoilsport!
Bah, bad luck!
"It's a skinless blood corpse. Generally, it grows in tombs. It's nourished by yin energy when wet and won't rot with time. There's still a glimmer of consciousness in its brain.
"Because it suffered the pain of skinning before death and was reduced to a burial object after death, it bears resentment. When it sees a living person, it will want to peel the person's skin off and put it on itself.
"This kind of thing doesn't usually appear on the ground, let alone in the sea. You should think about whether you've offended someone recently. They might have resorted to such a powerful weapon just to kill you."
