Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Treasure Pearl Sea of the Beast God Continent

The warmth of her skin ignited at his touch, and Han Li’s breathing grew heavier.

He grabbed the hand that was starting fires all over him and placed it on his head. "An’an, touch me here."

It felt incredible. Yu An couldn’t resist giving it a few more squeezes, drawing a muffled groan from Han Li.

His tail had recovered. The reason he had let Ao Wu accompany Yu An before was that his tail hadn’t fully healed yet.

Now back to its fluffy state, it emerged and wrapped around Yu An’s waist before slowly trailing downward, sending shivers through her.

"That tickles... Stop it..."

"You don’t like it?"

Han Li chuckled, his hand on her body. "But you clearly do like it. You’re already..."

"Shut up!"

Yu An’s face was flushed red. "Be serious."

"No. Why should I be serious?"

But he insisted on talking, his words growing more enthusiastic and brazen by the second. Yu An had no choice but to silence him with her lips, which was exactly what he wanted.

Their hair tangled together as beads of sweat fell, and slowly, they lost themselves in their pleasure.

...

Yu An released the beastmen from the Invincible Alliance, letting them decide whether to return to the Alliance or go elsewhere.

However, she kept those who the others had unanimously identified as original members of the Invincible Alliance, tossing them into the cells within her pocket dimension.

If they couldn’t be interrogated, she would just keep them locked up. The other beastmen had been forced to obey Ao Yin’s orders; these ones had done so willingly.

"Thank you, Miss," a beastman chosen as their representative said to Yu An. "We will be returning to the Invincible Alliance."

Their families are there. Even those without family have to go back because of the poison in their bodies.

"But we won’t let the Invincible Alliance order us around anymore. At the very least, we won’t do their evil deeds for them again."

In truth, this wasn’t the first time they had killed. They had been sent to slaughter innocent beastmen before, or to bring ordinary people back to the Invincible Alliance, where they would be fed poison and forced into service.

Yu An had someone inflict a minor wound on those who were uninjured, so they wouldn’t be punished upon their return.

"Travel safely. I don’t know what poison you’ve been given, but if you get any information, try to find a way to send it to the Dragon Clan."

Yu An promised, "I am a witch doctor. I’ll use the members of the Invincible Alliance to test antidotes during this time. If there’s any good news, I will let you know."

"Your task isn’t to fight the Invincible Alliance head-on. Instead, you should win over the other beastmen who are in the same situation as you. Unite and become a single force. Even Ao Yin would have to be wary of that."

Water can float a boat, but it can also sink it. Ao Yin is like a tyrant of old, using poison to control people and force their loyalty, but sooner or later, he will face a backlash.

"I have learned my lesson," the beastman representative said gratefully. "Miss Yu, thank you!"

They had resigned themselves to death, but if they could live, who would truly want to die?

After parting ways with them, Yu An gathered everyone else into her pocket dimension and had Ao Wu lead her toward Coral Maze City.

All that was left was to find Lan Yin and Lan Ying, and their little family would be reunited. Once they reached the Dragon Clan and Female Mother returned, it would be a true reunion.

As long as their family was together, there was nothing to fear.

Her superpower was now at the Seventh Level. The money she had earned from her street stall wasn’t enough for her to level up, but Ao Er had said that the Dragon Clan had no shortage of gold and jewels.

Once she got to the Dragon Clan, she would take a little trip to their treasury.

The sea where Coral Maze City was located was also called the Treasure Pearl Sea. However, since the Merfolk had moved away, the seabed wasn’t covered in pearls like the Treasure Pearl Sea on the Beastman Continent.

When they reached the coast, a damp sea breeze blew over them. The weather was cold, making the seawater exceptionally icy.

Without the Shark Pearls Lan Yin had given her, Yu An was worried about how she would breathe underwater.

Just then, Xiao Yu called out to her from within her pocket dimension. "Female Mother, I want to come out."

Seeing that no one was around, Yu An brought Xiao Yu out. He looked the same as before, his fish tail still unable to transform into human legs.

Xiao Yu gave her the Shark Pearls he always wore on his wrist. "Female Mother, as long as you have the Shark Pearls, you can breathe underwater."

With sixteen Shark Pearls, sixteen people could go underwater. However, a large group would easily alert the Invincible Alliance, so Yu An only brought out Mo Yan, Han Li, Feng Xuan, and Ao Er.

Along with Ao Wu, who was already outside, the small group would enter the water together.

"Female Mother, I’m not going into the dimension. I want to go with you."

He argued earnestly, "I may be small, but I’m a Merfolk. I have a greater advantage underwater than anyone."

Yu An ruffled his hair. "Female Mother knows our Xiao Yu is very capable, but you have a more important task."

"What is it?"

"Talk to that other Little Merfolk. The Merfolk Zaizai in the dimension has woken up, and the two Zaizai from the Cat Clan and Rabbit Clan are about to wake up too. You and your brothers need to stay with them."

The three little ones are surely just as frightened as the Dragon Clan cubs were. Only other children their own age can keep them from being scared.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Okay, Female Mother. But if you need me to use my Talent Ability, you have to let me out."

His Talent Ability could be very useful at a critical moment.

Yu An agreed and sent him into her pocket dimension before preparing to enter the water.

With the Shark Pearls, the bone-chilling seawater felt warm. They waded out a short distance and were about to dive when a blood-curdling shout came from the shore.

"Don’t go in the water—come back—come back—"

He was some distance away, but Yu An could see him scrambling toward them, as if they weren’t just diving into the water but heading to their deaths.

She paused. A male from the Turtle Clan ran up, panting, "Quick, come back with me! Don’t... don’t go in the water..."

After saying this, he immediately started running back, as if there were a monster right there. Seeing Yu An’s group not moving, he urged desperately, "What are you standing around for? Hurry!"

Yu An and Mo Yan exchanged a look and decided to ask what was going on.

"There’s a Sea Demon in the water that eats people! I patrol for a nearby tribe. I had just gone home for a meal when I saw you all walking into the sea."

The Turtle Clan male finally caught his breath and explained, "Many people didn’t listen to our warnings. They went into the sea and never came out. You absolutely must not go."

"The beastmen from the nearby tribes have all switched to hunting on land. They don’t dare enter the sea, terrified they’ll be eaten by the Sea Demon the moment they go in."

He rambled on, afraid that Yu An’s group would insist on going anyway.

A thought struck Yu An, and she asked, "Young man, have you been patrolling here this whole time?"

"Not exactly," the Turtle Clan male shook his head. "There are a lot of us. We take turns."

On a whim, Yu An took out a photograph. "Have you seen this person, then?"

The Turtle Clan male glanced at it. "I’ve seen him. He was incredibly handsome. He said he had something extremely important to do in the water, something more important than his own life. But after he went in, I never saw him again."

A wave of delighted surprise washed over Yu An. "Thank you, young man! Do you remember when he came here?"

The Turtle Clan male thought for a moment and told her the time.

It had been a long time. Yu An couldn’t wait to go find Lan Yin, which made the Turtle Clan male anxious.

"Didn’t you hear me say there’s a Sea Demon? You can’t go in the water!"

"We have to find him," Yu An said, clenching her fist. "He is my Beast Husband. He must have gone into the water because he thought I was under the sea."

Only then did the Turtle Clan male understand what Lan Yin had meant by something "more important than life."
