Chapter 189: Not 1 inside or outside
“Cut it open so Jiangjiang can have a few more sips,” Moya said.
Lin Yi stared at the tentacles lying in front of him, feeling that he had been dumbfounded many times today. This thing was indeed created by the gods. It had the altar physique, could become invisible and teleport, ate rare treasures, had super high combat power, and could even transform. Now, how come even its blood had the effect of bringing the dead back to life?
Actually, he was overthinking it. It's impossible for someone to come back to life; at most, it would have health benefits such as strengthening the body.
"You don't even have a knife on you, do you?" Moya said impatiently. "Stop dawdling."
Lin Yi choked, silently pulled out his dagger, and without the slightest mercy, slashed the tentacle hard. Fortunately, Lin Yi's dagger was made of special materials, specifically for self-defense.
If it weren't for this secret weapon, Moa's tentacles might not have been so easily cut open. Lin Yi didn't hold back, but he only managed to make a small cut.
The blood oozing from the wound wasn't the translucent light purple that appeared on the surface of the tentacles; instead, it looked a deep bluish-purple.
"This color is so horrible, could it be poisonous?" Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter a complaint, but his hands moved without hesitation, bringing the tentacle to Jiang Yu's mouth.
"Little Yu, be good, open your mouth and drink a little." He coaxed gently, and Jiang Yu whimpered in his arms, obediently opening her mouth. Moya observed silently from the side, learning the ways of getting along between husband and wife in human society.
Jiang Yu took a sip and opened her eyes, seeing the tentacles belonging to Moya in front of her mouth. Moya's blood had a faint fishy smell, but it was completely tolerable. It was icy cold and had a familiar taste. Jiang Yu carefully discerned the flavor and remembered that it was the taste of the sacred lotus that Qingyin had once stewed for her.
The two flavors were somewhat similar, which made Jiang Yu even more convinced that Moya and Qingyin, or rather the Aurora Empire, must have some kind of intricate relationship.
She didn't stand on ceremony with Moya and took several large gulps, immediately feeling a warm sensation coursing through her body. It was truly amazing; the blood was clearly ice-cold, yet drinking it warmed her body, making her feel much more comfortable.
"Alright, thank you, Moya. I'll take a nap now." Jiang Yu gestured for Moya to retract the tentacles. "Don't let anyone else know about this ability of yours." Lin Yi is someone you can completely trust. But if others find out, there might be trouble...
"Don't worry, Jiang Jiang, no one can beat me." Moya knew what Jiang Yu was worried about. Back in the day, he was someone who could easily swallow up an entire city. Although he was far less powerful than in his prime, the idea of defeating him was truly a pipe dream.
“One army might not be enough, but what if it's the combined strength of three great empires? A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Moya, you're the only one left in your clan. Don't underestimate the greed and evil of humanity.” Jiang Yu gave a few more words of advice before finally falling into a deep sleep. Hmm, Moya's blood seems to have a calming effect…
"Don't be too high-profile." Lin Yi straightened Jiang Yu's clothes to make sure she wasn't exposed to the cold wind, then opened his large cloak and wrapped Jiang Yu completely in his arms.
"You're no longer alone. Don't let Xiaoyu get involved because of you." Lin Yi looked up at Moya, his eyes carrying a warning.
“Since Xiaoyu has already made her decision, I won’t object to you coming in, but some rules and agreements still need to be made clear in advance.” With Jiang Yu asleep, Lin Yi revealed his sharp side, completely different from his previous carefree and cheerful self.
But to his surprise, the seemingly innocent and silly humanoid sea monster sat on the griffin, tilted its head, and when it heard his words, its eyes were full of cunning.
He gave a bright smile and replied, "I'm not human, so the rules of the human world have no effect on me."
"The only person I care about is Jiang Jiang. The rest of you have nothing to do with me. I won't get involved in your fights, and you shouldn't bother me."
"I don't care about Jiangjiang's feelings for you, whether she likes you or loves you, as long as her love for me is unique." Moya lowered his body, his words devoid of any politeness, filled with contempt and hostility.
"To me, you are nothing but lowly insects who just happened to win Jiang Jiang's love. I can only endure living with you for Jiang Jiang's sake. Don't try to show off your presence in front of me."
"Fine, you two-faced, disgusting monster. You only dare to expose your insidious true colors while Xiaoyu is asleep," Lin Yi said sarcastically. "You say we are insects, then what is Xiaoyu, who is of the same species as us? You look down on us and insult us, which is to look down on and insult Xiaoyu."
"Go ahead and complain if you dare," Moya said defiantly to Lin Yi. "Poor little bug."
Lin Yi couldn't help but exude a murderous aura; this damned sea monster was indeed no good. But this kind of imposing presence was like child's play in Moya's eyes, and he was even more disdainful.
"I dare not release even a trace of my power over you, otherwise that cowardly griffin beneath you would have dragged you into the sea with it, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to Jiang Jiang when he wakes up."
"After all, Jiang Jiang hopes I'll be a little more friendly to you all~" Moya smiled in a seemingly sincere manner, then advised, "This kind and respectable general, please have a broader perspective and don't get into these meaningless arguments with me."
"..." Where did the innocent and naive girl go? Lin Yi was both angry and confused. As expected of an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, he was so cunning that he could bury his own heart. Such a cunning opponent was not even human. It was truly a headache and disgusting thing.
He didn't know that Moa had spent half a day cramming on human relationships and common sense through a magic circle before going ashore, and that Triton's ideas had had such a great influence on his enlightenment theories that the child's first feelings and love were spoiled.
"In short, consider this a friendly reminder: the Fan family of the Aurora Empire is no ordinary family; they are a specialized theological family. You'd better keep a low profile and not cause trouble for Xiaoyu. Moreover, I believe you also know Fan Qingyin's position in Xiaoyu's heart, so don't antagonize the Fan family." Lin Yi took the initiative to concede, frowning as he spoke.
Moya stretched lazily. "Why would I make enemies with them? Wasn't I there to save Fan Qingyin? Shouldn't I be their benefactor?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "It's like you're so confident you can save him. Talking to this guy is such a waste of time and energy."
He remained silent, his face cold. The two griffins also flew away swiftly in silence. It was a difficult situation; they were afraid that their masters' quarrel would affect the innocent and vulnerable creatures. When gods fight, innocent bystanders suffer. They'd better fly quickly and get there as soon as possible.
Moya stopped talking and occasionally tossed a small gold coin to satisfy his craving, like eating a small candy. He was the most carefree one.
After flying for nearly ten hours, they finally saw the endless black rocks rising abruptly from the horizon. Shaka let out an excited cry and sped up. Lin Yi hugged the still-sleeping Jiang Yu tightly and whispered, "We've arrived."
