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.

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!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
