"Bobo, I'm here!"
A clear voice, like jade falling onto a pearl plate, announced Bai Chanyi's arrival before she did. In the dark, void-like corridor, she, barefoot and clad in white, rushed towards Yu Zhibo, who was squatting on the ground with his back to her, performing a reincarnation ritual.
Without the estrangement that might come from a recovered memory, she looked at the young man's back, her eyes filled with anticipation and joy.
Even when she was just a cat, she had felt an inexplicable fondness for Yu Zhibo. Now, with her memories fully restored and having absorbed the memories of several highly emotionally intelligent university students, she understood her feelings for Yu Zhibo even more clearly.
"Hmm?"
Yu Zhibo sensed something and, after completing the final step of the ritual, turned and stood up, looking towards the void-like corridor. The next moment, his handsome face showed surprise, and then his arms instinctively opened.
"Hee hee~"
Like a swallow darting through the forest, Bai Chanyi emerged from the corridor above Yu Zhibo's head, heading straight for him. She threw herself into his arms, her fair, jade-like arms encircling his neck, nuzzling against him as if wanting to merge into his body.
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but blush.
He had never been in a relationship before, and apart from grabbing Yu Xiaoying by the scruff of her neck, he had never had any intimate contact with any other girl.
Bai Chanyi's body felt like a ball of cotton, emitting a faint, clean fragrance. Holding her was like holding a ball of cotton candy that was sweet but not cloying. Her dark, soft hair brushed against his face and neck, making his heart pound.
Yu Zhibo felt a bit flustered. As his gaze wandered, he suddenly met a pair of indifferent eyes.
At the end of the void-like corridor, Wang Shouyi was watching them with a blank expression.
"..."
"Hmph!"
Wang Shouyi snorted coldly and closed the void-like corridor.
"Bobo, I missed you so much (≧▽≦)~" Bai Chanyi, seemingly oblivious to everything, whispered softly into Yu Zhibo's ear.
Yu Zhibo, who had been feeling a bit lost, felt his heart soften upon sensing Bai Chanyi's dependence. He wrapped his long arms around her slender waist, helping her land safely on the ground.
Undoubtedly, as a member of the Heavenly Fox clan, renowned for their beauty and charm, Bai Chanyi's appearance and figure were perfect to the extreme. She was curvaceous where she should be, and slender where she should be, making Yu Zhibo feel a bit overwhelmed.
He wanted to remind Bai Chanyi to be more reserved, but the feeling of holding her was too pleasant, and he couldn't bear to interrupt.
"Bobo, did you miss me~"
Bai Chanyi released Yu Zhibo's neck and looked up at him. Her pure, pretty face held anticipation, and her wine-red eyes seemed to shimmer with moisture, her love almost overflowing.
Who could resist this!
Yu Zhibo roared inwardly.
Then, after a moment of thought, he said, "Yes, I did!"
"Heh heh~" Bai Chanyi hugged his neck again, burying her face in his neck.
Yu Zhibo felt he couldn't remain so passive. He cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Moyu, why aren't you wearing shoes? Be careful of getting leg problems."
Bai Chanyi was only 1.65 meters tall. To hug him, who was 1.86 meters, she had one leg bent backward, her delicate foot arched like a crescent moon, while the other was on tiptoe, her five delicate, crystal-clear toes sinking into the dust, looking quite playful.
"Call me Chanyi."
Bai Chanyi whispered in his ear, then circulated her demonic power, shaking off the dust from her feet. She condensed her demonic power into a pair of ancient-style cloud silk embroidered shoes, on which was drawn a cartoon white fox that almost blended into the shoe's color, making them look very cute.
Yu Zhibo nodded and pondered for a while, finding no further topic. He coughed and said, "Chanyi, I need to go to Qingdao later to take over the bodies of sea beasts for transformation rituals. Do you want to come with me?"
"Mhm mhm!" Bai Chanyi nodded eagerly. She had finally transformed and come to Yu Zhibo's side; how could she leave easily?
Yu Zhibo smiled, placed his hand on Bai Chanyi's shoulder, and was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But the next moment, Bai Chanyi took his hand off his shoulder and, to his surprised gaze, placed her soft, fair little hand into his large one, interlocking their fingers.
Seeing Yu Zhibo's stunned expression, a hint of cunning flashed in Bai Chanyi's wine-red eyes. She smiled and said, "Let's go."
They say that a woman pursuing a man is like a thin veil, and according to the memories of the university girl she had absorbed, boys found it hard to resist a girl's initiative. These initiatives, she recalled, could often be shown in small details during interactions and achieve unexpected results.
'Is this what it feels like to have a girlfriend?'
Yu Zhibo felt a strange sensation, novel but not unpleasant.
Feeling the softness in his hand, Yu Zhibo chuckled and disappeared from the spot with Bai Chanyi.
Jiaozhou Bay, east of the estuary, with an area of nearly 500 square kilometers, is one of China's larger and better harbors.
However, at this moment, the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge spanning across the bay had completely collapsed and was destroyed. Sea beast heads bobbed on the water's surface, relentlessly assaulting the defense line, trying to land.
The bay is a semi-enclosed harbor, roughly trumpet-shaped.
Undoubtedly, if one had enough strength to set up an ambush, all the sea beasts within the bay could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Conversely, a long defense line would place a great burden on the local supernaturals guarding it.
At this moment, near the beach, the once-expensive sea-view houses had all become ruins in the battle. Even those not affected had their inhabitants evacuated. Along the coastal defense line, supernaturals were locked in fierce battles with sea beasts, their blood staining the shore.
Unlike the clear skies of Shanghai, Jiaozhou Bay was experiencing a continuous drizzle, with dark clouds covering the sky as if about to crush the firmament.
"Nine Heavens Profound Star, transform into divine thunder, resplendent heavenly might, guide it with the sword!"
"Sizzle~"
At the site of the old Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, a Taoist priest, an A-class, 50-divine-rank cultivator, held his long sword, distracting most of the sea beasts. Then, he chanted incantations, pointing his sword to the sky.
As the incantations fell, pillars of lightning, carrying the might of world destruction, struck down towards the center of the bay, instantly turning countless sea beasts into charred remains.
Soon after, a fierce wind rose, and the seawater receded. A demon蛟, also of the 50th rank, bathed in lightning, roared and surged out of the water, its ferocity unmatched. Laws of power swirled around it as it engaged the Taoist priest in battle.
In an instant, space fractured, and seawater surged backward. Surrounding sea beasts were caught in the aftermath, perishing in the void.
These sea beasts clearly possessed high intelligence. While the Taoist priest and the demon蛟 were fighting, they all charged towards the surrounding coastlines. Near the trumpet's opening, countless sea beasts also rode the waves, avoiding the center of the battlefield and advancing towards both sides, greatly increasing the pressure on the defending supernaturals.
When Yu Zhibo and Bai Chanyi appeared hand in hand beside a metal-elemental ability user of the 20th divine rank, they were met with the grand spectacle of numerous sea beasts swarming towards them.
"Brother, hurry and help! There are lots of materials here for you!" The metal-elemental ability user was the head of the Executive Department of the Qingdao Branch Bureau, named Nie Xingyun. Seeing Yu Zhibo, his face lit up with joy.
Because metal-elemental ability users had the ability to construct defense lines, they were mostly assigned to branch bureaus in coastal cities. Currently, along the coast of Qingdao's Jiaozhou Bay, tall metal city walls stood, playing a crucial role in resisting the sea beasts.
"Yu Zhibo is here!"
"Brothers, kill! Merit is within reach!"
"Bobo, Mom loves you, come to Mom!"
With Yu Zhibo's appearance, many supernaturals recognized him. Recalling his ability to control beast puppets, their morale soared. Some of Yu Zhibo's "mom fans" excitedly sent out bullet comments.
Yu Zhibo did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, 39 giant beasts, hundreds of meters large, appeared before him, like mountains, completely filling the coastline in front of them.
"Roar~"
As soon as the Undying Giant Beast Legion appeared, they roared, their terrifying aura completely deterring the surrounding sea beasts, leaving them unable to move even an inch.
"Kill!"
Yu Zhibo's expression was cold as he issued the command.
As soon as the command was given, the undead giants began to act, instantly crushing nearby B-class sea beasts to death. A-class sea beasts were quickly torn apart. Then, these sea beasts, like fast-moving mountains, pushed towards the defense lines on both shores.
