Lan Xiaoke hung onto Ye Chuan, refusing to go back into the sea no matter what he said.
"I won't fight, I won't fight even if you beat me to death! Those monsters are so big, my punch is just like a tickle to them!"
Lan Xiaoke used to rely on level suppression, but now she had no way to deal with them.
Ye Chuan reached out and patted her, saying with a smile,
"If you don't move, I'll confiscate the gold bars."
"No!" Lan Xiaoke immediately tightened her arms around her food bag, hurriedly expressing her stance but still refusing to give in,
"Ye Chuan, accompany me!"
Ye Chuan didn't waste words with her. A faint halo of spiritual energy appeared around him, and he slowly sank into the seawater with Lan Xiaoke hanging onto him.
Lan Xiaoke shrank her neck, her face full of panic, but she didn't dare to let go of Ye Chuan.
Ye Chuan's spiritual energy barrier steadily kept the seawater out. He looked down at the cowardly Lan Xiaoke in his arms and smiled faintly.
"Being afraid is useless. Who told you to take my gold bars? Since you accepted the benefits, you have to do some work."
Just a few meters into the sea, a dark shadow quickly approached. It was the giant octopus that had besieged Lan Xiaoke earlier, pouncing with its eight tentacles waving.
Ye Chuan casually raised his hand. With just a trace of his aura, the giant octopus was instantly slapped away and knocked unconscious against a reef.
"See? It's very simple," Ye Chuan said.
This is left, this is right, this is jump, alright this is your opponent, go get it.
"I don't have your strength," Lan Xiaoke curled her lips.
Ye Chuan didn't argue with her. After intimidating the surrounding monsters with his aura, his gaze swept around and locked onto a smaller transparent monster fish. With a casual suction, he brought it in front of Lan Xiaoke.
This monster fish was only half a person's height and was the weakest. Its body was transparent, revealing its internal organs, making it just right for Lan Xiaoke to handle.
"Beat it, and I'll give you another gold bar if you win," Ye Chuan said.
Lan Xiaoke's eyes lit up. "Really? You're not lying to me? Don't play tricks on me again!"
"Why would I lie to you? It's just a gold bar. I wouldn't haggle with you over such a small thing," Ye Chuan said, his fingers moving as dozens of gold bars danced in his hand.
Gold prices had been rising sharply lately, and the gold bars in Ye Chuan's hand were worth over a million.
Lan Xiaoke slowly let go with one hand, clenched her pink rabbit boxing glove, and slightly surged the spiritual energy in her body, getting ready.
"Take this!" She threw a fierce punch but didn't control her strength well, almost falling flat on her face.
Ye Chuan reached out in time to hold her waist and steady her. "What, are your assets too heavy?"
Lan Xiaoke's cheeks flushed. She clenched her fist again and smashed it toward the transparent monster fish.
With a bang, the boxing glove landed solidly on the monster fish. The transparent monster fish swayed and instantly turned into a blood mist, dissipating on the spot.
"Wow? It's so weak," Lan Xiaoke cheered, hurriedly turning around and holding out her hand to ask for a reward.
"Gold bars, gold bars, hurry up and give me the gold bars!"
Ye Chuan took out another small gold bar from his backpack and stuffed it into her arms. "Okay, let's continue."
With the temptation of the gold bars, Lan Xiaoke completely forgot her fear and even actively poked her head out to search for small monsters.
"Are there any more? I want to fight more! I want more gold bars! It's best to give me a few more, I want to save up lots and lots of money!"
"I want to fight ten!"
Seeing this, Ye Chuan drove a small sharp-beaked fish in front of her. "After you beat these, there are still treasures at the bottom of the sea."
"Treasures? What treasures?" Lan Xiaoke immediately turned her head. Her eyes shone, instantly attracted by the word 'treasures'.
"Treasures that are even more valuable than gold bars. Hmm... if I remember correctly, things like monster inner cores and some materials can be sold for a high price outside."
As soon as he said this, Lan Xiaoke became even more excited. Without waiting for Ye Chuan to act, she took the initiative to prepare to fight the small fish.
After sending the small sharp-beaked fish monster flying with one punch, she immediately pounced over and fished out a small silver inner core from the fish's body.
"Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan! I found an inner core! Look quickly, is this very valuable? How much can it be exchanged for?"
Ye Chuan nodded. "Keep it well. It can be sold for quite a lot of money when we get back. Saving it up will be another sum of pocket money."
The two of them divided the work and cooperated like this. Ye Chuan was responsible for restricting the giant monsters to prevent them from ganging up on Lan Xiaoke, while Lan Xiaoke went to pick the monsters suitable for her to attack.
Along the way, they picked up quite a few good things, including deep-sea pearls the size of fists that glowed with a faint blue light, looking extremely precious.
Soon, Lan Xiaoke's spatial ring was stuffed with many good things. Whether it was the monsters' inner cores or those pearls, they could be exchanged for a lot of money in the Alliance.
"I'm rich, I won't have any pressure spending money on games lately." Lan Xiaoke was already immersed in joy.
Ye Chuan followed behind her and watched silently. Perhaps it was Lan Xiaoke's silly appearance that actually made Ye the Bastard feel a bit of amusement.
Unknowingly, the two swam to the bottom of the deep sea. It was pitch black here, with only occasionally flashing fluorescent creatures illuminating a small area.
"Yi?"
Right at this moment, the entire seabed suddenly shook violently. The seawater kicked up a huge whirlpool, and the surrounding reefs also began to shatter one after another.
"What's going on?!" Lan Xiaoke was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately threw herself back into Ye Chuan's arms, her cowardly nature completely unchanged.
Ye Chuan held Lan Xiaoke, this big coward, with one arm and casually looked in the direction of the vibration.
He saw a huge dark shadow drill out from inside, its size several times larger than the previous giant monster fish.
This dark shadow looked like a crab. Its entire body was pitch black, and its shell was as hard as black iron, gleaming with a cold light. Its two huge pincers were larger than a hundred Lan Xiaokes combined.
Its blood-red eyes were like two huge disks, staring fixedly at Ye Chuan and Lan Xiaoke, its gaze filled with ferocity and killing intent.
"What, what is this thing?!"
A massive size of hundreds of meters, coupled with the dark deep sea, let alone a coward like Lan Xiaoke, even an ordinary person would develop thalassophobia upon seeing it.
"The monster guarding the next floor?"
Ye Chuan took a look and felt that this big crab was much stronger than the group of monster fish from just now.
At this moment, the giant pincer crab fiercely swung its huge pincer and smashed it over!
The pincer slammed heavily onto Ye Chuan's shield, and the massive impact even caused the entire sea area to shake.
Ye Chuan sensed the opponent's peak Golden Core realm aura, which was actually not that strong.
Lan Xiaoke was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound. She could only hug Ye Chuan tighter, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Do you want to try dealing with this monster?" Seeing Lan Xiaoke like this, Ye Chuan asked.
Lan Xiaoke shook her head.
"How about this? I'll buff you, and you go deal with this monster, how about it?" Ye Chuan asked. "It's not much stronger than you anyway."
"Buff?"
"Yeah." After Ye Chuan finished speaking, he directly cast several beneficial buffs on Lan Xiaoke.
Such as rapid stamina recovery, luck blessing, dodge blessing, and so on. Anyway, there was nothing that increased attack power or the like.
Lan Xiaoke saw the light constantly emitting from her body and seemed to feel something. "Power, power!"
"You're powered up, get in there." Ye Chuan pointed his hand.
"I've increased your strength, it's three times what it was before!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
