Ji Hanhan returned to the wing room where he was staying, and the floor was a large, shining expanse.
Upon closer inspection, it was all colorful pearls, or more accurately, Bonny's tears, scattered everywhere.
"Why is little Bonny crying again? Didn't they say fish only have a seven-second memory? How can she hold so much sadness?"
Ji Mo recalled his promise to avenge Bonny and decided it was time to find a way to go out to sea and cause trouble for the Merman tribe, while also investigating clues about the trident.
However, how to travel underwater was a big problem, and he hadn't figured it out yet.
The bed was also piled high with pearls.
Bonny, clutching one of Ji Mo's jackets, had already fallen asleep.
Tears stained her face, her small body buried amidst a pile of pearls, indicating how heartbroken she was.
Dreaming of something, Bonny mumbled in her sleep, "Ji Mo, you scoundrel, you short-lived ghost, if you die, what will happen to me left alone, I don't want to be alone anymore..."
A hint of pampering appeared on Ji Mo's face. So, this silly fish thought something had happened to him and was crying so sadly.
This fish was not raised in vain; she knew how to care for people.
However, he was also curious how such a small clownfish could cry so many tears. It was truly magical.
He had a bold idea: in the future, he would make Bonny cry whenever he had nothing to do. He was sure it would be profitable.
But he had promised not to let Bonny shed tears again, so this little trick for getting rich was definitely out.
Ji Mo, having been roasted by the great fire for three days without rest, was extremely sleepy. His eyelids were drooping. He held Bonny in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, residual chaotic energy still lingered on his body, which benefited Bonny as it all entered her.
Bonny's body glowed with radiance, revealing her human form.
From a clownfish, she transformed into a gentle, beautiful maiden sculpted from ice and jade.
She wore a pink, smoky gauze dress, her face youthful and her features like a painting, her skin crystal clear and tender, almost translucent.
The chaotic energy nourished Bonny's bones and bloodline, making her mermaid royal bloodline even purer. Her body emitted colorful light, her vitality grew stronger, and her cultivation surged significantly.
Smelling a familiar scent and hearing a calming heartbeat, Bonny slowly woke up.
The little girl found herself enveloped in a radiant glow, lying happily in Ji Mo's embrace, thinking it was a dream.
She was overjoyed. Her fair, slender arms tightly wrapped around Ji Mo's neck, like a little kitten, and she nuzzled his chest repeatedly.
"It feels so real. I wish this beautiful dream would never end."
Bonny clung to Ji Mo like an octopus, kissing and touching him in a playful frenzy. Finally, she kissed the corner of his mouth and fell asleep peacefully with a sweet smile.
The next day.
A scream shattered the morning tranquility.
Bonny woke from her dream and, upon opening her eyes, found herself tightly embraced by a man. Startled, she jumped up.
However, when she clearly saw his face, she immediately came to her senses and lunged towards Ji Mo.
Great, it wasn't a dream! This scoundrel was really not dead.
"Ah, who are you..."
Ji Mo was startled awake and, in his daze, saw someone forcefully pouncing on him. He quickly pushed her away.
Bonny fell off the bed, landing on her bottom.
"Miss, please have some self-respect. I'm not that kind of person."
Ji Mo flusteredly pulled the quilt over himself, covering himself completely.
Indeed, boys must protect themselves at all times and in all places. He had almost lost his virginity just by sleeping.
The customs of the Immortal Spirit Realm were not simple at all. Old women and young girls were both uninhibited, always thinking of pouncing on him.
"Hmph, *you're* the one who's casual."
Bonny got up, pointed at Ji Mo, her delicate body trembling with anger.
Did this guy want to break up at dawn after taking advantage of her, leaving her to fend for herself?
She noticed her clothes were disheveled, exposing a large expanse of fair skin, and her body felt strange. She instinctively assumed she had done something intimate with Ji Mo last night.
Now, Ji Mo's pretense was truly excessive.
This behavior clearly showed he didn't want to take responsibility.
What a scumbag!
"Bonny?"
Ji Mo found the voice somewhat familiar but couldn't be sure.
How could such a small clownfish become so beautiful? It wasn't scientific.
"You scumbag, you're pretending not to know me?"
Bonny became even more furious.
Since she had revealed her true form when they first met, she was convinced Ji Mo was deliberately playing dumb and pretending not to recognize her.
As expected, all men were unreliable. They cherished you until they got what they wanted, and then their attitude changed so quickly.
"It really is my Bonny!"
Ji Mo looked at Bonny, his expression complex, filled with astonishment and a hint of disappointment.
He hadn't expected Bonny to transform into human form, but he had always favored the mischievous child from the anime, treating Bonny like a daughter.
But now that he discovered Bonny was actually a young girl, he felt a bit strange.
Seeing Ji Mo's awkward expression, Bonny thought she had been mistaken and had encountered a scumbag who took advantage of her without taking responsibility. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her pearls were about to fall.
"You heartless man, in our mermaid tribe, there's no breaking up, only widowhood. You took my purity, but you don't want to be responsible, do you? I'll fight you."
Bonny gnashed her teeth in anger and tugged at the quilt, wanting to settle the score with Ji Mo.
Ji Hanhan was completely bewildered. What purity?
He hadn't done anything.
Could this Bonny be as naive as Du Ruier from the Xuan Ling Realm, thinking that just lying together would result in pregnancy?
It was difficult for him to explain, so he called Yan Zhi to help him clarify the situation.
After hearing the general outline of the events, Yan Zhi stared at Ji Mo with suspicion and posed a soul-searching question: "Young Master Ji, you shared a bed with Miss Bonny all night, and yet you did nothing? Are you even a man?"
Bonny's beauty and figure were top-notch. Yan Zhi believed that even she herself would have found it difficult to resist and would have been tempted to make advances on Bonny.
She couldn't believe any man could hold Bonny and have no desires.
Unless that man had been castrated, or... had some peculiar hobby!
"I am a man, but I was just too sleepy and didn't think of anything else."
Ji Mo looked at Bonny, thinking that if he had been awake last night, he might not have been able to control himself and might have created a little mermaid.
But he was simply too tired and did nothing.
Yan Zhi took Bonny to the inner room and, after examining her, confirmed that Bonny was still a virgin, which left her astonished.
Bonny felt that something was not simple. Ji Mo must have done something intimate to her, otherwise, why would her body have changed so drastically?
Her complexion was radiant, her spirit clear, her skin glowed with a soft luminescence, and her cultivation had surged by a whole realm. She was definitely... by Ji Mo.
"Hmph, beast!"
Bonny refused to admit she was mistaken and glared fiercely at Ji Mo, raising her head proudly.
In any case, she had decided on this scumbag for life.
"Worse than a beast!"
Yan Zhi voiced her true feelings.
With such a beautiful young woman in his arms, and yet you did nothing, what kind of man are you? You're worse than a beast.
Yan Zhi looked at Ji Mo meaningfully. The spark in her heart extinguished, and she felt it would be more appropriate to treat Ji Mo as a sister from now on. This guy was gay, what a waste of such handsome looks!
Ji Mo was baffled, being scolded by two girls for no apparent reason.
What was wrong with being an honest, kind, and self-respecting boy?
Were good men to be despised?
There was no justice in this world!
Ji Mo sighed at the changing times and the unfathomable minds of women. He didn't argue with Yan Zhi and asked her to send a message to the Chi family to report that he was safe.
Not long after, Xia Wan'er, who had heard the news, rushed over anxiously, crying out, "Mr. Ji, it's so good that you're not dead, but my godmother... something has happened to her..."
