Jiang Zhi was startled and quickly turned her head away!
After a while, with reddened ears, she looked back.
She simply couldn't resist her curiosity.
She saw that the man had turned around, his snow-white... buttocks glaringly obvious amidst the darkness...
"Splash!" He sauntered to the seaside and jumped in.
When he emerged again, he was once more covered in black "tassels"...
Jiang Zhi then realized that these weren't decorative tassels at all, but rather a bunch of fish!
This... this... this...
Jiang Zhi stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Was this man using himself as bait?!
Jiang Zhi couldn't help but walk forward, watching as the man rose from the sea once more. Only then did she clearly see his face.
It was... that man from before!
"It's you!" she exclaimed.
This immortal hadn't died after all!
Yi Feng heard the voice and looked up, spotting the woman in red.
Startled, he clenched his buttocks and quickly grabbed a wolf skin nearby to cover himself.
"Oh, it's you," Yi Feng coughed twice, pretending not to be embarrassed about being seen naked.
"Miss, weren't you waiting to die? You don't look like someone waiting for death at all."
The woman in red also coughed twice as she approached, her face still icy cold. If it weren't for her reddened ears, one couldn't detect any emotion at all.
"Who are you calling 'miss'?" the woman in red said coldly. "In terms of age, even your ancestors might have to call me ancestor."
"That's an exaggeration," Yi Feng said, kicking away a black fish that was still fiercely biting his toe. "Are you also here to catch fish for survival?"
Jiang Zhi neither confirmed nor denied, merely falling silent as she watched the black fish flopping about on the ground...
It was said that the Dark Shadow Island was located in the Dark Sea. In the sea, there were terrifying sharp-toothed Shadow-Devouring Fish.
These Shadow-Devouring Fish were entirely pitch-black, capable of eating humans, with highly toxic teeth.
These fish blended into the black sea, making them hard to detect. Once bitten, one would die from the poison.
Jiang Zhi looked at the fish flopping on the ground, and the more she looked, the more they resembled the descriptions from the legends.
"You like eating fish too?" Yi Feng, noticing Jiang Zhi's fixed gaze, enthusiastically explained, "These fish are so stupid, they're very easy to catch."
"It's simple, just put your hand in the sea and a bunch of idiot fish will come and bite you." As Yi Feng spoke, he put his hand into the sea. "Look, like this."
When he pulled his hand out, his arm was covered in fish.
"Easy, right?" he said, inviting her, "Want to try it together?"
As he spoke, Yi Feng warmly reached out to pull Jiang Zhi. "Come on, give it a try, it's fun!"
Jiang Zhi pushed Yi Feng's hand away.
"No need," she said, looking at the pile of fish on the beach, some dead, some still flopping.
This Dark Shadow Island was a place of no return. Although she knew of its existence, most of her knowledge came from celestial bamboo scrolls or hearsay.
The Shadow-Devouring Fish, too, she had only heard mentioned.
Though she had never seen them before, Jiang Zhi was now certain that the group of fish on the beach couldn't be them. Otherwise, how could Yi Feng be bitten and remain unharmed?
At that moment, a flopping black fish on the beach suddenly leaped up, about to bite Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi raised her foot and calmly kicked the fish away.
"Truly stupid fish," Jiang Zhi muttered, "Biting him is one thing, but daring to bite me?"
"What did you say?"
Yi Feng hadn't heard clearly as Jiang Zhi's voice was too low, so he asked.
Jiang Zhi shook her head, "Nothing."
"By the way, I've found a way to get out of here. Do you want to come with me?" Yi Feng asked.
He suddenly remembered that he was preparing to drift across the sea with Manman.
If the journey took too long and he was alone all day, he feared he might go crazy.
It would be good to have someone to talk to.
Jiang Zhi looked at Yi Feng, raising an eyebrow, "You say you've found a way out?"
"Yes," Yi Feng nodded in response, without any hesitation.
Seeing Yi Feng's confident demeanor, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but look at him seriously.
"What's the method?"
"Drifting across the sea," Yi Feng pointed at the black ocean, "If we sail from here outwards, no matter how far, there must be an end."
"At that time, we'll be able to get out."
The woman in red looked in the direction Yi Feng was pointing, where the vast, endless black sea swallowed everything.
She was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.
She found it amusing that she had seriously inquired about this from the man before her.
"In this world, countless people have entered, but not a single one has ever left," she said, her gaze fixed on the distant Dark Sea.
Indeed, the Dark Sea was not endless.
But at its end was an enormous restrictive array.
Trying to leave through the black sea was absolutely impossible.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
