There was a castle hidden in the deep sea.

The majestic castle was carved out of shells and various exquisite types of fine coral. The sun shone down through the sea and spilled over the castle, making it glow with various colors and beauty.

Sticky low groans came from the castle’s magnificent chambers, which had been completely drained of water and which, although situated in the sea, were not invaded by any water again.

In the middle of the vast palace is a huge bed.

The bed was covered with soft and fine white velvet, and a translucent white veil fell from overhead, enveloping the magnificently large bed.

A gust of wind blew and lifted the veil, revealing two white, slender legs.

The two legs were more crystal clear than the pearls dotted on the side of the bed, slender and firm, straight and graceful, without a trace of excess flesh.

Suddenly, a thick, ugly vine streaked across the legs and squeezed in easily.

The beautiful pearl-like toes grabbed the bed hard, and the low groans echoed in the room.

There was pain and a bit of dissatisfaction in the sounds, but also a few moments of unfulfilled satisfaction.

After a long time, the lark-like, fragmented sounds gradually stopped.

In the white bed, several vines with hideous patterns slid out of the bedcovers, some with sticky and thick bodies, others with mottled wounds. They slowly slid away and disappeared into the darkness of the twisted space.

Another gust of air suddenly blew across the room, and the bedcovers rolled up as if caught by an invisible hand.

The youth with features like misty rain closed his eyes lazily. His body was covered by a quilt, but the exposed collarbone was covered in marks.

Bai Lixin was now unable to even move a finger. He lay limp in the bed and opened his eyes weakly.

It was hard to tell time by the sunlight in the depths of the sea, and when he finally had a little energy to open the taskbar, the top right bar showed that four days had passed.

Bai Lixin forcefully swallowed the fluid in his mouth and gritted his teeth in hatred.

‘Fuck.

Do you want to get me killed?’

Four days later, he was still alive, so it seems that the curse was lifted.

He wasn’t killed by the curse, but he was almost killed by that bastard.

Bai Lixin took a deep breath and slowly sat up on the bed.

His wrists even trembled as he exerted force.

He glanced at his reddened wrists helplessly and drew the dagger from his backpack.

He held the hair in one hand and the dagger in the other.

He had kept his hair long when he was in the Eternal Diamond Mountains and hadn’t been able to deal with it when he entered the fairy tale world because he couldn’t use sharp weapons. But now that the curse was lifted, he could finally cut it off.

Bai Lixin raised his dagger and was about to strike when a powerful force suddenly reached out from the corner and firmly bound the youth’s wrists.

He was stunned for a moment, and the man’s somewhat helpless voice rang out, “What are you doing?”

Bai Lixin: “????”

What else? Cutting hair.

Several ugly vines burrowed out of the distorted space like snakes, and Bai Lixin physically shivered the moment he saw them.

The man’s laughter spread out in the air.

The next second, countless vines came together and twisted and tangled into the appearance of a man.

Immediately afterward, the vines began to change color and fuse, and in a matter of moments, a man no different from a normal man appeared in front of Bai Lixin.

The man had short black hair and dark green eyes that were as aggressive and oppressive as those of the vines.

The eyes were deep, the familiar features were still handsome, and the body was tall and straight.

It was the features of his lover, but he looked much younger, about ten years younger.

The man seemed to be made of water, and his green eyes were wrapped in thick spring water, easily reflecting Bai Lixin’s somewhat dumbfounded expression.

He leaned down and easily snatched Bai Lixin’s dagger, saying somewhat caustically, “I saved you; why are you returning the favor with a dagger?”

The voice was like a bay of water under the moon, warm and soft, seemingly reflecting the ambiguity of a lover’s previous intimacy.

Bai Lixin blinked: “???”

Take a good look at me now. Do I look like I care about revenge?

How can you be so shameless?

The young man touched Bai Lixin’s face and sat on the edge of the bed, his two hands easily sweeping the slim Bai Lixin into his arms, intimately caressing Bai Lixin’s neck several times, saying, “You smell so good, I can’t get enough of it.”

“I helped you lift the curse on your body, and instead of thanking me, you want to kill yourself and die in my bed, soiling my home? Isn’t that revenge?”

The young man’s fingers slipped under the quilt and brought it onto Bai Lixin’s bare back, gently rubbing the graceful lines of the butterfly bones.

The slightly calloused fingers pressed against the most sensitive and soft spot, and Bai Lixin trembled, his eyes quickly and uncontrollably filling with mist.

“That man is your servant, right?” The young man’s fingertips moved and slid to Bai Lixin’s shoulder.

He looked at Bai Lixin before him curiously, the other man looked only a little shorter than him, but his body was surprisingly slender.

With a single wrap of his two hands, he had completely enveloped Bai Lixin’s shoulders.

As he stared at the youth’s beautiful, delicate face, the youth’s helpless cries came to mind, and the dark green eyes instantly turned black.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his restless heart. A pair of deep eyes scrutinized the youth, and he said word by word, “You haven’t thanked me yet.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

This bastard.

Having gotten a bargain, he was still asking for more.

Noticing that Bai Lixin hadn’t spoken, the sea monster’s finger went to Bai Lixin’s swollen lips and carefully opened the youth’s mouth, grinding the lips into contortions with a slight pressure of his fingers.

He was a little helpless, anxious, and overwhelmed. “Why aren’t you talking? Have you become mute again?”

Seeing the other party’s movements getting more and more arrogant, Bai Lixin hurriedly moved his sore body to push the sea monster’s hand, his voice hoarse as he said, “My voice is hoarse.”

The sea monster froze for a moment, and in the next second, the bewildered expression was instantly replaced by a smile. It was a very bright and unsullied smile, so pure that it seemed to be totally ignorant of the world’s insidiousness.

He looked at Bai Lixin, and there was only Bai Lixin in his eyes, everything else was meaningless.

The green eyes were as clear as those of a young and innocent boy.

Bai Lixin was momentarily immersed in his simple smile. He was still in a daze when he heard the sea monster’s crude question, “I see, it’s because of me, right?”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Fuck, what a fart.

The sea monster hadn’t forgotten the question he’d just asked and continued relentlessly, “Your name is Bai Lixin, right? That’s what I heard the silver-haired wizard call you. The curse on your body was so dangerous that if I hadn’t helped you lift it, you would have been dead by now. I saved you, so shouldn’t you say thank you to me?”

Bai Lixin cleared his throat, “Thank you.”

The sea monster’s smile grew brighter, like a brilliant banyan tree under the sunlight in the forest, “No need to thank me. Don’t you humans have a saying? If someone saves your life, you must promise them your body.”

“You smell so good, I like you so much. Since I saved you, you’ll give me your body in return, okay?”

Although it was a question, the sea monster did not expect an answer. He hugged Bai Lixin tightly, with a somewhat puzzled expression, “Strange, why do you smell so good? I’ve searched every corner of your body but haven’t found where you’re hiding the fragrance.”

It was the first time Bai Lixin had seen such a talkative version of his lover. It was as if he was new to everything, especially to him.

“Are you the sea monster?” Bai Lixin asked the question in his mind with a hoarse voice.

Sea monster: “That’s what everyone seems to call me; you can call me that.”

“Of course, you can also call me Dijia.”

Bai Lixin: “I would like to ask you something.”

Dijia stretched out a hand towards the table, and it immediately extended outward and turned into a vine. The vine hooked up the teacup on the table and easily brought it over.

The vine retracted and turned back into a knuckled hand.

He brought the teacup to Bai Lixin’s mouth and carefully fed him.

After Bai Lixin had drunk the water in one go, the sea monster slowly said, “What do you want to know?”

Bai Lixin: “I want to know if there are mermaids and mermaid treasures in the deep sea or not.”

The sea monster’s smiling expression suddenly froze, and the smile in his eyes disappeared. He stared at Bai Lixin and asked, “So you’re not just here to lift the curse, you’re also here for the mermaid treasure.”

He stood up and looked down at the youth, saying, “Sure enough, no matter how beautiful a human is, they are all equally greedy.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Fuck, I’m not! I’m just doing this to clear the copy!

The sea monster threw the water cup onto the ground casually. The clear crystal cup landed on the ground and immediately shattered into countless fragments.

Cold green eyes stared at the youth, “I suddenly realized that you’re no longer fragrant. I no longer want you to be my royal queen. I’d rather kill you.”

With that, the sea monster’s hands suddenly turned into a huge vine, and the two vines tangled together, attacking Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes and the scythe in his backpack quickly flew out. There was a flash of cold light, and the vines were immediately cut through.

The vines were cut off, but the sea monster didn’t even frown.

However, the youth’s weapon caught his attention, and he gave a curious “Huh?” The cut part swelled like bubblegum and soon gave birth to a new arm, “You seem to be more powerful than I thought.”

“I suddenly feel a little reluctant to kill you,” the young Dijia’s expression was slightly confused, “what should I do?”

Bai Lixin glanced around. His clothes had all been torn to pieces by brute force, so he had to grab the quilt and drape it over his body. “Since you don’t want to kill me, just let me leave. I won’t ask you about the mermaid treasure, what do you think of my proposal?”

The sea monster shook his head after thinking about it and said, “No.”

“I’ve just given it some serious thought, and although the rules require me to kill any human who crosses the line or covets the mermaid treasure, I find that you seem to be different.”

“I don’t want to kill you.”

Bai Lixin caught the detail in the sea monster’s words, “Rules?”

If he remembered correctly, the silver-haired wizard had also said he had rules that needed to be followed.

The rule was not to kill someone outright.

The sea monster’s rule was to kill any human who crossed the line or coveted the mermaid’s treasure.

Was this rule necessary because of the setting to characters in the fairy tale, or was there some logic to it?

The sea monster slowly withdrew his vines and reverted to harmless hands.

He sighed and looked at Bai Lixin with a torn expression, and as if he had made up his mind, slowly approached him, “I’ve decided, I…”

Before he could finish the words, the surrounding air suddenly became cold.

Numerous bone-chilling icicles stabbed toward the sea monster from overhead.

The sea monster became gloomy and quickly stepped back. His arms were reshaped into vines, sweeping down the icicles that were attacking.

The Icicles fell everywhere, only avoiding the large bed where Bai Lixin was.

The sea monster looked up solemnly, and Bai Lixin also tilted his head back.

The silver-haired wizard had levitated above their heads at some point, hovering precariously without a weight-bearing object under his feet.

The black cloak had been removed, and the long silver hair and the wide cloak were fluttering about in the wind.

The silver-haired wizard had an ancient book hovering in front of him. He mouthed a silent incantation, and as he recited it, more icicles stabbed at the sea monster.

Frost began to form at the ceiling, and the sea around the castle began to freeze in all directions, with this as its center.

The frost soon reached the top of the bed, and Bai Lixin looked up to see beautiful snowflakes invading every corner.

As the frost condensed, everything encased in it was reduced to ice.

The sea monster narrowed his eyes, and the vines in his hands flew quickly. The movements were casual, as if everything was a game.

However, the expression on the silver-haired wizard was grave, or rather, it should be described as gloomy.

As he recited the incantation, he took the time to sweep a glance at Bai Lixin, his eyes caustic and full of dissatisfaction.

Bai Lixin: “……”

Why the blame? Can you first ask?

If it weren’t for your curse, would I be here?

The sea monster and the silver-haired wizard looked at each other, their movements slowing down at the same time.

But the items around them froze faster.

The silver-haired wizard suddenly frowned, the words “you’re kidding and unhappy” written all over his face. He glared coldly at the sea monster below and said, “You imitated my face?!”

The sea monster froze, anger rising, “I don’t care about your stupid face, this is what I’m supposed to look like! I was already like this you old immortal thing!”

Bai Lixin just wanted to cover his face.

Killing intent flashed through the silver-haired wizard’s eyes as he held his hands up, forming a huge golden magic formation above the sea monster’s head.

Just looking made him dizzy.

Bai Lixin: “……”

F*ck, going all out? No, you’re all good brothers, why don’t you talk about it? There’s no need to just drop a killing move as soon as you come, okay?

Seeing this, the sea monster sneered. It looks dazzling but gives off so much killing intent.

He summoned all the vines in his hands, and the wave of vines attacked the silver-haired wizard.

If Bai Lixin had a pair of trousers right now, he would not be sitting on the bed watching the two play a duel to the death.

Dense frost poured from the magic formation, and the moment the icicles collided with the vines, the silver-haired wizard immediately teleported to Bai Lixin’s side.

His cloak Immediately fell onto Bai Lixin, and with another instantaneous teleportation, the two appeared in the tavern.

The cloak slid off the youth’s body under the force of the fall.

The silver-haired wizard immediately frowned at the sight of the youth’s “battered and bruised” body.

Even if he was pure, he understood what had happened to the youth.

The room was quickly enveloped in cold air. Bai Lixin shivered and said, with a slightly guilty voice, “Um, the curse has been lifted.”

Silver eyes did not waver as they looked down on the youth’s mottled body from above, his gaze carefully examining the other man from top to bottom, inch by inch.

After a few seconds, the silver-haired wizard took a deep breath, and the air around him quickly heated up.

His gaze finally rested on the youth’s lips, and he said in a soft voice, “Master, you are bruised and need to be properly cooled for your health.”

Bai Lixin: “????”

Cooled? How?

After seeing the round icicles that the silver-haired wizard had condensed out of the air, Bai Lixin immediately understood how he would be cooled.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he backed away as he looked at the silver-haired wizard who was approaching him, pleading, “I… I’m really fine.”

The silver eyes were indifferent: “Don’t worry, master, I’m good with my hands so I won’t hurt you. Relax.”

Bai Lixin: “…”
