He needed a bed.
Poseissi and his companions showed clear signs of regret and frustration on their faces. They truly regretted it, wishing they had come over the first time Thousand Waves had reached out to them.
"Having received a reward today, I'll let the two of you have the opportunity."
Poseissi turned to look at little white and the Sea Dragon Douluo.
The Sea Dragon politely clasped his hands and said, "Then little white, please go ahead."
"Since you say so, I won't be polite!"
little white replied cheerfully.
She had been wanting to meet Lin Yi for a while now, even before Poseissi had a video chat with Soul City.
The reason being, her other identity was as Number Five in the chat group.
She witnessed firsthand the tsunamis and various maritime turmoils that Lin Yi caused near Sea God's Island, as well as the praises he received from the women in the group.
So, little white was extremely curious about Lin Yi.
She walked towards the stage, her grey-blue eyes closely observing Lin Yi at a short distance.
Unlike Bi Ji's initial timidness and shyness upon meeting Lin Yi, little white's face showed only curiosity, even though Lin Yi was breathtakingly handsome at the moment.
Perhaps the aesthetics of the Devil Soul Great White Shark differed from those of other soul beasts, so to little white, Lin Yi just looked like a more attractive than average young man.
"Have you looked enough? If you have, you can attack now."
Lin Yi glanced at little white indifferently; the great white shark was like someone visiting the zoo, observing him with animal-like curiosity.
But who is the real animal here?
"Oh, okay."
little white immediately nodded. She couldn't identify exactly what race Lin Yi was, but everything about him suggested that he was certainly not a simple human, so... what exactly was he?
The little shark fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, she frowned and added,
"My abilities are greatly limited on land, you can't think my damage is weak just because of that. I'm actually very powerful in the sea."
Lin Yi: "..."
Big sis, it's just one attack, and you're still trying to reinforce your image?
"I know, go ahead and attack."
"You actually know about me?!"
little white suddenly asked excitedly.
Lin Yi: "I don't know, you can attack now."
little white: (ಠ.̫.̫ಠ)
Forget it, attack!
little white was still looking forward to the reward that Lin Yi was going to give.
She raised her slender right arm, and a deep blue whirlpool of sea water surged forth on the platform, with the sound of "whoosh" waves crisply reaching everyone's ears.
This whirlpool enveloped Lin Yi entirely, filling the air with the faint salty and damp scent of sea water, giving Lin Yi the sensation of being in the middle of the ocean.
Quite fascinating.
However, with Lin Yi's ocean affinity off the charts, he could completely negate any of little white's skills, provided they were related to the ocean.
At this very moment, several black holes began to form on the surface of the surrounding sea water vortex.
From these black holes, sharp shark teeth started flying toward Lin Yi.
"Crack crack crack!"
The saw-edged teeth of the Devil Soul Great White Shark could easily tear through the body of any sea soul beast. The teeth landed on Lin Yi, their sharp edges continually causing damage to his body.
The whole process lasted a full minute.
This was more like a meat grinder than the Snow Emperor's attack... Lin Yi couldn't help but complain internally.
With a "splash," the tide rose and the surrounding sea water vortex vanished, leaving a small blue water orb condensed in little white's right palm, as she intently watched Lin Yi.
Lin Yi knew at a glance that the little shark was waiting for damage rebound.
Seeing that she was now familiar with the steps of the attack.
Not too slow on the uptake.
As the golden light approached, the blue water orb in little white's palm instantly began to spin, swiftly forming a horizontal water tornado that rushed forward, with the front of the tornado taking the shape of a shark's head.
The shark's head, with its massive mouth filled with sharp serrated "water teeth," opened wide.
"Boom!"
They collided.
Splash! Water splattered around and into the air, soaking the platform.
"Master, Tuan Tuan is all wet again! Wet again! Wet again!"
Lin Yi's meditation cushion began to squeal once more, its voice unfortunately that of a cute little girl, leaving Lin Yi rather helpless, yet unable to truly be angry with it.
You're really ruining my cool here, you know that?
Left with no choice, Lin Yi continued to press his hand on top of it, his five fingers deeply sinking into its soft body, radiating heat.
Massive amounts of steam rose into the air.
Tuan Tuan: "Ah~ Master, Tuan Tuan feels so comfortable~ Master, push a little harder~"
Lin Yi: "..."
This cushion is really going to be the death of my social life.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but look towards Bi Bidong, "It's just like you, picking out such a provocative cushion for the senior."
Bi Bidong: "...I'll be replacing it tonight anyway."
Qian Renxue: "You better."
Bi Bidong: "You little girl, how dare you speak to me like that?!"
Seeing the two of them about to start arguing again, Thousand Waves helplessly stood in the middle, pulling them apart.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Bleeding: 216873]
[Remaining Health: 899900883647]
[Damage Level: Red (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Change Death Outcome (Host to Execute Personally)]
[Host Reward: No corresponding critical hit reward, replaced with a full set of unnamed Four-Word Battle Armor]
Lin Yi nearly lost it at the words "No corresponding critical hit reward", calming down only after reading what came next.
As for this little white's reward, change the death outcome?
Lin Yi had somewhat forgotten whether her original ending in the novel was life or death.
Check the system notes.
[Devil Soul Great White Shark little white, died during the era of Soul Land's Three Dragon Kings, killed by the wife of the Deepsea Devil Whale King (Holy Spirit Cult Leader Demon Emperor)]
After reading the system's notes, Lin Yi finally had some memory of it.
In the original novel, the Deepsea Devil Whale King was killed by Tang San, and the wife of the Deepsea Devil Whale King was the Holy Spirit Cult Leader Demon Emperor, who killed little white.
Lin Yi also remembered that the Deepsea Devil Whale King had a daughter named Lan Fozi, who was one of Tang Wulin's close female friends.
Damn, what a complicated mess.
According to the system notes, Lin Yi would have to go to Sea God's Island and kill the wife of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, the Demon Emperor.
According to the original story, the couple were absolute villains, but their daughter Lan Fozi was a kind soul beast.
Since I'm here already, might as well take out Lan Fozi's father too, since he's going to be killed by Tang San in the end anyway.
After making this simple plan, Lin Yi said to little white, "Damage 216873, Red Junior Level, your reward is to change your death outcome."
Upon hearing this, little white, Poseissi, and Sea Dragon Douluo were all momentarily stunned.
Little white incredulously pointed at herself, "Me... I'm going to die?"
Lin Yi nodded indifferently, "Is it strange to die? Everyone dies. But your death is indeed an abnormal one."
Little white swallowed hard and asked in astonishment, "How did I die? When will I die?"
"In twenty thousand years, killed by the wife of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale. You know about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale, right?"
Little white involuntarily stepped back, unbelieving.
Lin Yi had shared a fact she couldn't have imagined in her wildest dreams.
She never expected that this would be her fate...
Still in disbelief, little white frowned, "Senior, I address you respectfully as senior, are you telling the truth? I have a non-aggression pact with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale. Why would his wife want to kill me?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Can you be sure about something twenty thousand years in the future? If you don't believe it, you can forgo the reward."
"If you believe me, I'll go kill the assailant responsible for your death twenty thousand years from now. That's your reward, changing the death outcome. Do you accept, or not?"
Lin Yi's voice was like a divine inquisition, too much for little white to bear in the moment.
Down below, Bi Bidong could understand little white's feelings the best.
She too had once had her ending foretold by Lin Yi, and of course, she was just as shocked as little white.
Then, Yu Xiaogang died.
There was also someone named Tang San, who was currently beyond Lin Yi's capability to deal with.
