In the depths of the deserted island, within an underground cave.
Bonny's slightly panicked voice sounded, "You, what are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?"
Ji Mo was undoing his belt, his face filled with eager anticipation, a smile of impatience on his lips. He said, "To do this sort of thing, you definitely have to take off your clothes first. Don't just stand there, hurry up and do it too."
Bonny bit her cherry-red lips, her delicate little face instantly flushing. The small hands clutching the hem of her clothes trembled slightly. She said coyly, "But... but I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"What preparation do you need? Let's just do it. I can't wait any longer."
Ji Mo was left only in his shorts, rubbing his hands together, his eyes gleaming. Like a big bad wolf, he suddenly pounced.
"Hmph, you're bad..."
Bonny spread her arms, her heart pounding, a hint of excitement bubbling within her, anticipating being embraced by Ji Mo.
However.
She found that this simpleton didn't pounce on her but leaped over her head, rushing into the pool behind her.
Splash...
Water sprayed everywhere, creating a dazzling display of light.
A refreshing fragrance wafted through the air.
It was a pool dozens of feet square, its water a deep amber hue, steaming and exuding dragon energy, containing incredibly astonishing power.
This deserted island had evolved from the remains of a prehistoric evil flood dragon, and this pool was the condensed essence of the flood dragon's entire body. After long years of sedimentation, it had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, evolving into a pool of creation treasure liquid.
The flood dragon clan had long coveted this place. Although they controlled the remnant soul of the prehistoric evil flood dragon, they had never been able to reach it. Little did they know that Ji Mo, the simpleton, would find it.
Ji Mo's body was weak and required a massive amount of energy for evolution. Encountering such a good thing, he naturally couldn't wait, causing Bonny to have a futile expectation.
"Bonny, hurry and come down! Taking a bath will be great for your health."
Ji Mo, the simpleton, excitedly splashed water, comfortably soaking in the water with a look of contentment.
This pool water was tens of times more potent than the Dragon Saliva Liquid he had bathed in before, its medicinal effects astonishing.
Bonny was stunned and stomped her feet in anger.
Honestly, he was such a dullard, a wooden man who understood no romance.
Whoosh...
A black and white orb of light flashed by. The Kun egg also flew out from Ji Mo's discarded clothes and actively plunged into the pool.
Subsequently, it began to absorb the pool water frantically.
Clearly, the Kun egg understood this was good stuff. As its hatching was imminent, it needed a large amount of energy, so it was not polite at all.
"Huh, this stone egg of yours has also become sentient. If it doesn't hatch into something good, I'll cook you."
Ji Mo scooped up the Kun egg, took a look, saw no signs of cracking, and casually tossed it back into the water.
"Kun?!"
Bonny, possessing the bloodline of a mermaid empress, clearly detected a trace of the aura of a marine super-divine beast, her face filled with shock.
This was a super-divine beast egg! How could it be thrown around carelessly?
She became anxious and quickly took off her sheer gauze skirt, jumping into the pool.
Like a carved ice sculpture, flawless as white jade, embodying the essence of heaven and earth, it was like the most beautiful creation of the heavens.
Ji Mo's gaze was stunned, his pupils dilated, and two streams of blood flowed uncontrollably from his nose.
Just as he was about to look away, he noticed that after entering the water, Bonny radiated a colorful halo, and shimmering scales appeared on her body, incredibly dazzling.
Bonny's form underwent a massive transformation, turning into a mermaid.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and below her waist was a multi-colored fish tail, shimmering with a brilliant luster, impossibly beautiful.
Compared to her youthful appearance as a human, Bonny's demeanor had changed significantly, exuding an air of nobility and elegance, like the brightest moon in the sky, making one feel inferior and afraid to look directly.
"This is the true mermaid! So beautiful it doesn't seem real!"
Ji Mo exclaimed, marveling at the sight.
Bonny, already exquisitely beautiful in her human form, was now dreamlike and peerless.
"Is it really that beautiful?"
Hearing Ji Mo's praise and seeing the simpleton's uncontrollable nosebleed, Bonny felt a small surge of pride.
It seemed this stubborn simpleton wasn't entirely immune to female charm; she still had some allure.
"Mmm, it's just missing something."
Ji Mo carefully observed Bonny, feeling that something was amiss.
"What's missing? Nothing's missing."
Bonny stubbornly puffed out her chest, trying her best to display her shapely figure, and retorted, "I'm still young. If I eat more, I'll definitely grow more."
Ji Mo swam over, ruffled Bonny's soft hair, and pointed at her forehead, saying, "What are you thinking? I mean a crown is missing. If you wore a small crown, it would be perfect."
A crown?
Bonny was somewhat taken aback.
In the Arctic Ocean, crowns were not something one could wear casually.
Only the co-lord of the sea, the true Emperor of the Arctic Ocean, was qualified to wear one.
And the Arctic Ocean had not had a Sea Emperor for nearly twenty thousand years.
The Arctic Ocean was home to numerous races, each proud and unruly. Even the powerful Merman tribe, possessing immortal beings, still struggled to command respect. After so many years of conquest, they had only managed to control half of the Arctic Ocean.
To wear a crown was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Momo, do you really want to give me a crown?"
Bonny blinked her large, azure eyes, pondering if Ji Mo meant to support her ascension to the throne of the Sea Emperor.
But, was that truly possible?
"My little princess, how can you be without a crown?"
Ji Mo dotingly flicked Bonny's delicate nose, smiling.
Of course, whether he intended to craft a crown for Bonny or to help her seize the position of Sea Emperor, only Ji Mo, the simpleton, knew.
"I don't want any crown. I just want to be by your side."
Bonny harbored no ambition. She didn't ask for much, only Ji Mo's companionship.
Moreover, although Ji Mo was indeed very powerful, unifying the Arctic Ocean and conquering all the sea tribes was an almost impossible feat.
However, she knew that Ji Mo had this intention, and that was enough to make her very happy.
"Scattered moonlight, passing through clouds, hiding from crowds, spreading into scales on the sea..."
Bonny, with a sweet smile on her face, chased the Kun egg, swimming in circles around Ji Mo.
Her singing voice was sweet, like the tinkling of a clear spring, as melodious as bells, filled with vitality and hope.
The pool water splashed, and colorful rays of light shimmered, forming rainbows that appeared all around, enveloping the two of them, creating an incredibly beautiful picture.
On the ground.
Nangong Chou swallowed his saliva, "Sister, I told you not to speak carelessly and not to make rash vows. Look, now the sun is rising in the west, and you have to wear a swimsuit and dance for my brother. What are you going to do now?"
Nangong Manyin was so angry she wished she could slap this fool to death. How could he still be thinking about this at a time like this?
Her expression was extremely solemn. She felt a great danger approaching, and it was possible that everyone would die.
That alluring red sun was rapidly approaching them, and the aura of death shook the hearts of everyone present.
Nangong Manyin used her Golden Eyes to stare intently at the approaching red sun, finally discerning what it was. Her face instantly turned ashen.
"Heavens, this isn't the sun, it's an eye!"
