Her mind was a whirlwind of hundreds of thousands of words of schemes and stratagems, so much so that she didn't even notice when Wen Wen collected the body and walked up to her.
Wen Wen rolled his eyes and flicked her forehead. "What are you thinking about? We're done here, going home. Do you want to spend the New Year here?"
Tao Qingqing clutched her forehead. The smooth skin was directly hit and became a swollen red mass. The force was enough to shatter a coconut.
She glared at Wen Wen with resentment, then suddenly felt much more relaxed. Someone with such a horrible personality as Wen Wen could absolutely not be someone else in disguise.
Yiyeta was also very curious about the corpse, but her imaginative train of thought was completely different from Tao Qingqing's, envisioning a tragic melodrama.
She didn't know about the mole on Wen Wen's navel, so she assumed the corpse was Wen Wen's brother.
In her imagination, Wen Wen, because his only brother had inexplicably disappeared, embarked on a thousand-mile journey to find him. He finally found him, only to discover that his brother had become an undead being.
Wen Wen was grief-stricken, yet he had to kill his own brother. Finally, he brought the corpse here, wanting his brother to die as a human.
The reason this guy acted so scummy was perhaps to conceal the pain of losing his brother…
"I'm done. You send us to the exit. I won't be an eyesore here anymore," Wen Wen said shamelessly, sauntering up to Yiyeta with a swagger.
Yiyeta looked at Wen Wen, her tone softening slightly. "You can stay here for a while longer. The power of the Sacred Tree can erase your pain and make you…"
"If I stay here longer, do you pay me? Do you go on vacation for me? Do you have internet here? What if I don't want to use a latrine…" Wen Wen fired off a string of questions.
Yiyeta: "…???"
She gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead. "Fine, I'll send you back. Get lost, you scoundrel."
"One moment asking people to stay, the next asking them to leave. You're crazy."
In the end, Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing were sent to the entrance by Yiyeta, her face as cold as ice.
The Tidal Sea General, Yuan Qiuyya, had already devoured all the squid tentacles and was eagerly looking at Wen Wen, wanting more ingredients.
All life within this secret realm possessed spirituality and could not be considered food. Therefore, if she wanted to eat meat, she could only rely on outsiders.
Wen Wen scratched his head, pulled a cow from the containment facility, and placed it with a pile of sauces in front of her. "I've left you a barbecue grill too. This should be enough for you to eat for a few days."
Yuan Qiuyya's mouth watered as she looked at the items, her face filled with happiness.
"Good brother, come visit often. If you get into trouble, you can come find me."
Afterward, under Yuan Qiuyya's reluctant gaze, Wen Wen summoned Benbo'er and Babo'er, and along with Tao Qingqing, boarded the rickshaw again.
Yuan Qiuyya manipulated the water currents, escorting Wen Wen and his group to just outside the secret realm.
Once again cruising in the deep sea, the novelty had significantly diminished. Apart from the proximity of precious ingredients, Wen Wen was too lazy to even open his eyes.
In this deep and dark seabed, there was only oppressive darkness and oppressive darkness. A sense of direction had lost all meaning.
After swimming for a while, Wen Wen felt somewhat drowsy. Seeing that there was still more than half an hour left, he decided to take a short nap.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he abruptly opened them, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Why did he feel sleepy?
As a super-powered individual with true sequence strength, why would he fall asleep halfway?
Was it because the loud snores on the return trip had become much more frequent, thus causing his sleepiness?
But what about that primal sense of unease?
In the lightless deep sea, any spot could harbor terrible danger. Wen Wen dared not be careless and immediately looked at Tao Qingqing beside him.
Tao Qingqing's eyes were open, and she sat on the rickshaw in a posture that suggested everything was normal, but her breathing was even, her eyeballs were moving unconsciously, and a sliver of clear drool hung from the corner of her mouth…
Wen Wen could tell at a glance that she had fallen asleep.
It wasn't just her; Benbo'er and Babo'er, who were pulling the rickshaw, were also in a state of sleep.
Even in their sleep, the two mermen had ferocious expressions, and their bodies were still moving, pulling the rickshaw towards a certain spot in the deep sea, at a speed much faster than when they had arrived.
Their direction of travel was not towards the Arctic town of Moosman, but towards an unknown destination. Before Wen Wen noticed the abnormality, they had already traveled an unknown distance.
If Wen Wen had fallen asleep just then, he might have woken up as a prisoner, or perhaps even inside the belly of some colossal monster!
Wen Wen swallowed. The containment officer's badge on his chest began to heat up intensely, something that hadn't happened in a long time since his strength had increased.
He made a decisive snap of his fingers, collecting Benbo'er, Babo'er, and Tao Qingqing into the containment facility, and he himself immediately entered the municipal facility.
Before leaving, he used the ability of the magic mirror Jidelo to leave a magic eye in the vicinity.
Wen Wen had not fallen asleep and walked into a trap, so by rights, he should be safe for now. But Wen Wen didn't want to face any risks, so he left immediately.
Through the magic eye, Wen Wen could observe the situation in the location he had just been. For the first few minutes, he saw nothing, but a few minutes later, the water flow near the magic eye inexplicably became viscous.
No, it wasn't viscous; rather, the surrounding water had "come alive," making it difficult for creatures in the vicinity to leave that area.
Then, Wen Wen saw an immeasurably colossal dark shadow slowly swim past in this region.
The shadow was so immense that the magic eye couldn't possibly detect its shape or size; it only knew that something huge had passed by.
The colossal shadow circled the area a few times, found nothing, and then let out a strange sound.
"Ah… Wa… Er… Yi…"
The sound was incredibly loud and carried a bizarre power. Just hearing it made Wen Wen's scalp tingle.
Unable to find Wen Wen's presence, the shadow slowly swam away, disappearing into the deep, dark seabed.
Just as Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, he saw through the magic eye an eye the size of a house, which was coldly staring at the magic eye.
An inexplicable power emanated from the eye, like icy, slimy tentacles, rapidly climbing along the connection between Wen Wen and the magic eye.
Wen Wen's hair stood on end, and he immediately severed his connection with the magic eye. The monster's power was interrupted midway, and it let out another muffled roar.
This roar echoed far, far, far into the vast deep sea…
