Chapter 742

: The Forbidden Abyss
Fei Rui was slightly taken aback. He then shook his head.
No, you must all follow me back to the ocean.

Lea gave a cold laugh as his gaze turned sharp. His words dripped with heavy emphasis.
No? Must? Who do you think you are?

Fei Rui was frightened by Lea’s imposing manner and shrank back. He avoided Lea’s stare and just looked at Gu Mengmeng.
I know where the Kiss of the Ocean is, but I am unable to retrieve it. The Messenger herself must personally go there…


Oh?
Lea didn’t believe him. Elvis and him would be greatly disadvantaged the moment they entered the water. They had already experienced that terrible sense of helplessness during their time in the Snake King valley, and they did not wish to go through that again.
Fei Rui felt somewhat anxious. He suddenly found it difficult to put his thoughts into words and struggled to explain the situation. He nearly bit his tongue in his efforts but still failed to clarify the issue.
Gu Mengmeng felt that Fei Rui looked just like a child who could not find his homework and she went up to rub his head with a smile.
Don’t worry, don’t panic. Take your time to explain.

It was very strange but Gu Mengmeng had the ability to calm someone down.
Fei Rui looked into Gu Mengmeng’s clear eyes and nodded. He slowly regained his composure and took two deep breaths.
The Kiss of the Ocean is a pearl. It is located in the Forbidden Abyss of the Mermaid Tribe and guarded by an old oyster spirit. He will only hand over the Kiss of the Ocean to the Messenger of the Beast Deity. No one knew why, but the previous Messenger sent back the Kiss of the Ocean, and in over a thousand years since, many people have tried to retrieve the Kiss of the Ocean but none of them was able to even enter the Forbidden Abyss.

Gu Mengmeng was slightly dazed from his narration. Old oyster spirit…
Another thousand-year-old monster? The Beast King of the ocean?
Didn’t Snake say that he was the only Beast King in the Beast World?
Who the hell was that then?
Gu Mengmeng pondered a moment before shifting the focus to a more practical point.
Forbidden Abyss?

Fei Rui nodded.
I heard the elders say that the area didn’t use to be forbidden. It only became restricted after the previous Messenger of the Beast Deity placed the Kiss of the Ocean there. The Messenger placed a spell on that area and no one can enter.

Wasn’t the previous Messenger Snake himself? That crazy guy with the split personality who at times played the fool, and at others was as cold as ice.
He could also cast spells?
Gu Mengmeng didn’t quite believe it.
Snake’s memories also held the memories of his father and she could tell from the interactions between his father and Wang Xiaoxin that he was just adept at I Ching divinations. The ability to cast spells only existed in shows like
The Legend and the Hero
. She did not hold such capabilities.
Gu Mengmeng stroked her chin as she considered.
But Elvis patted her little face and stared at her with his clear, blue eyes.
You cannot go.


But…


No buts. Lea and I cannot protect you in the ocean. It is too dangerous. You cannot go.
Elvis was resolute.
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment before laughing out.
We will bring along a bodyguard who is adept at fighting in the water. Then you don’t need to worry about my safety anymore.

Elvis frowned.
Who?

Gu Mengmeng laughed cunningly.
A highly skilled person who might treat me as a romantic rival and will never let any harm befall me.
