Chapter 1599: The Legend Of The Deep Sea
As such, whenever she gazed at him and Auretin like this, Lea would feel his goosebumps form. With his wide eyes narrowed and full of emotions, he smiled dangerously and asked, “Little Mengmeng, what are you thinking?”
Gu Mengmeng seemed to be troubled after being caught red-handed, so she laughed it off and shook her head to deny having any thoughts.
After getting her approval, Fei Rui happily received the red coral bracelet from Auretin and wore it on his wrist to show everyone around. He had even held Melinda’s hands to show off the bracelet to her, causing Carter to become jealous yet helpless, while he could only clench his teeth to say, “You are Melinda’s brother so I shall bear with you.”
That night, Gu Mengmeng stayed under the ocean.
The next morning, Melinda, Carter and Fei Rui all accompanied her to where the Kiss of the Ocean was located.
If she was not certain that she was in the ocean, she would have suspected that whatever she had seen was from another galaxy in the Milky Way.
There was a black pearl floating in the center, with the surrounding shrouded with a dark layer of poisonous fog that varied in thickness. It looked like a scene from a science fiction Hollywood movie, as though they were observing the galaxy from within a spaceship, except that it was not colorful and there was darkness.
Within the poisonous fog, there were many floating shellfishes. All of them moved slowly, like the sloth named Flash from ‘Zootopia’. The shellfishes slowly opened and closed, as if they were eating the poisonous fog.
Without Snake’s Tear of the Beast Deity protecting her, Gu Mengmeng did not dare to stand too close to the poisonous fog and could only stay within the safe boundaries as she pointed at it and asked, “Lea, did you retrieve the muscles from these shellfishes here yesterday?”
Lea nodded.
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her chin and thought seriously, as she said, “When I retrieved the Kiss of the Ocean that time, it was in a huge shellfish, do you think one of the poisonous shellfish ate the pearl up?”
Fei Rui secretly bit his lower lip. He moved forward to tug at her elbow, shook his head and said, “It cannot be.”
“Cannot be?” Gu Mengmeng was confused.
Fei Rui took a breath, then tilted his head as he looked at Gu Mengmeng. Smiling, he said to her, “Does the Great Messenger know about the Legend of the Deep Sea?”
Another legend?
Now, Gu Mengmeng felt herself having an instinct reaction whenever she heard the word ‘legend’.
At the desert, Bi An told her a legend and he died afterwards.
At Motou, Gregory told her another legend and he died.
Now Fei Rui was going to tell her another legend?
Frowning, Gu Mengmeng instinctively asked, “Can I not listen to it…”
Fei Rui chuckled and replied, “You should listen to it. This legend has something to do with the Kiss of the Ocean.”
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead as a foreboding feeling intensified in her.
Before she could reply, Fei Rui sat beside her on the turtle’s back and transformed his fish’s tail into legs. He hugged his knees and sat in an upright posture. After turning his head to look at Gu Mengmeng, he said, “Legend says that this black pearl was originally not called Kiss of the Ocean. It was only a poisonous pearl from these poisonous shellfishes. Even though it was poisonous, it was not strong enough to remain in the ocean.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and did not say anything. She had also thought about this question, How could a poisonous item have such a romantic name like the Kiss of the Ocean? If it had a name, it should have been ‘The Devil’s Agreement’ or ‘Eye of the Grim Reaper’. How would it be called Kiss of the Ocean – a name that was obviously related to love?
