Chapter 210: Chapter 212: Underwater Night Watch

Su Luoluo had expected Nantu to hesitate for a moment, but the next second, he had carried her to another place.

The sound of flowing water filled her ears, but her body wasn’t the least bit wet.

Su Luoluo was surprised to find that she seemed to be inside a transparent Water Curtain. Water flowed all around, but the space she occupied was completely dry.

Fish swam before her eyes, and green waterweeds swayed with the current. It was as if she had been submerged in the stream.

She asked in astonishment, "Where is this?"

Nantu’s silver hair, dotted with water droplets, danced in the water, making his already vibrant eyes as dazzling as an elf’s.

This was the first time Su Luoluo had ever seen Nantu swim. His long, ice-blue fishtail drifted with the current, like the flowing train of a gown, looking utterly ethereal.

Su Luoluo stared, completely mesmerized.

He was truly a mermaid capable of charming hearts, his beauty beyond what words could describe.

She didn’t know how Nantu managed it, but he could hear every word she spoke inside the Water Curtain with perfect clarity.

He responded, "This is my Water Avoidance Technique. As long as you stay inside, it’s just like being on land, completely shielded from the water. We can sleep here tonight. They won’t be able to see us."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo began to understand what this glass-like window before her was.

She must be at the bottom of the stream near the clay pits, hidden from view by the water covering them.

The stream was surprisingly deep. Even with her inside, there was still a good amount of water above her.

She had thought the stream was shallow enough to touch the bottom just by stepping into it.

Nantu stretched out languidly in the water, and Su Luoluo couldn’t take her eyes off him.

Although the stream bed was dark, the light of a Luminous Pearl made everything as clear as if she had X-ray vision.

The clear current at the stream’s bottom glided through Nantu’s hair. At first glance, it looked like strands of hair, but on a second look, one might mistake it for some kind of algae.

Nantu was a completely different person in the water than on land. Here, he was freer, more joyful, and radiantly dazzling.

Just as Su Luoluo was watching, fascinated, she felt a sudden tightness around her waist. She realized that his ice-blue fishtail had coiled around her at some unknown moment.

Nantu’s floating hair brushed past her ear, making Su Luoluo’s heart skip a beat and sending a ticklish sensation across her skin.

A cool aura drifted over, carrying Nantu’s personal scent.

"You..."

Before Su Luoluo could finish, Nantu embraced her from behind. His voice was cool and clear as he asked, "Is it beautiful?"

Su Luoluo nodded. "Very beautiful."

A smile graced Nantu’s lips. "I wanted to show you last time, but I was afraid you wouldn’t like it."

Su Luoluo was surprised. "It’s gorgeous. Why would I not like it?"

Nantu said slowly, "Because it requires going underwater, and some land-dwellers are afraid of water."

Su Luoluo hadn’t thought about that.

She was human, and even though the water quality in the Post-apocalypse wasn’t very good, she had often gone swimming for fun, so she didn’t see it as an issue.

But thinking about it, many females were indeed afraid of water. They knew nothing about what lay beneath the surface and were afraid of drowning.

At this thought, Su Luoluo smiled and said, "But perhaps there are exceptions. I’m someone who loves the water."

At her words, Nantu’s aquamarine pupils constricted.

’So there really are Land Females who like water?’

’Father said no Land Female could possibly like water. Mother had left him because she couldn’t bear being confined within a Water Curtain.’

It was as if a ray of sunlight had penetrated Nantu’s parched and sealed-off heart, nourishing it with an indescribable feeling. All he wanted was to be with the person before him, to be close to her.

Nantu lowered his head, his gaze falling upon the red lips in his embrace before he leaned in and kissed her.

Su Luoluo was caught completely off guard by Nantu’s sudden kiss.

But the next moment, she saw countless tiny bubbles escape from her lips, just like a little goldfish, which she found quite magical.

What surprised her even more was that the Nantu in the water was far more uninhibited than the Nantu on land. His tongue was so nimble, so...

She had also thought it would be difficult to breathe underwater, but Nantu was effortlessly sharing his air with her.

Unconsciously, she found herself being led by him.

The water below was in turmoil, and the surface rippled with waves.

"That Nantu has gotten bold, just whisking Su Luoluo away like that." Mo Xuan was dumbfounded, having seen Su Luoluo suddenly vanish right before his eyes.

Fu Feng shook his head. "Looks like none of them are to be underestimated. We can’t let our guard down. I just don’t know where they went."

Xiao Ye walked to the edge of the stream, arms crossed. "Do you even need to ask? He’s far more at home underwater than we are. If he wants to... *do* something down there, it’s a lot easier for him."

"Tsk, tsk. Interesting." Xi Yi rubbed his chin, musing aloud by the stream’s edge. "He dives in once and vanishes without a trace. Mermaids really are the masters of the water."

"Luoluo is still carrying a cub. Won’t she catch a cold from diving in like that?" Bai Meng asked worriedly.

"She won’t. Nantu isn’t that reckless," Luan Ting said calmly, his gaze on the water’s surface. "I’ve heard that a mermaid’s Water Avoidance Technique is famous. It allows someone to be in the water as if they were on solid ground. Luoluo should be fine."

"Speaking of which, how did Nantu even get to the Wolf Clan Tribe?" Fu Feng asked curiously. "For a mermaid to be able to walk on land and even become the Beastman of a female in the Wolf Clan... isn’t that a bit strange?"

"That’s a question for the leader," Luan Ting said evenly.

As the men watched the "show" from the shore, the water’s surface suddenly began to churn.

Seeing this, the men’s brows furrowed instantly.

Si Cheng, who had been silent all this time, saw the abnormality on the water’s surface. "Is the water level about to rise? This is bad, the leader could be in danger."

He was about to jump in when Luan Ting stopped him. "Wait. Perhaps it’s something else."

The words had barely left his lips when a huge splash erupted from the surface. An ice-blue fishtail was thrashing about violently, but aside from the waves it created, the rest of the water was perfectly calm.

Sharp-eyed Mo Xuan noticed a stream of bubbles rising to the surface. He looked astonished. "Is there a big fish in there? It’s breathing so hard."

The moment he spoke, he was met with six murderous glares. At first, he didn’t understand why, but then he saw Nantu’s ice-blue tail flick and catch on Su Luoluo’s Beast Skin Skirt. His eyes instantly went red with rage.

’What big fish? That was clearly Su Luoluo in there!’

’And Nantu and her were...’

’That damned fish! He usually acts as listless as a salted fish, so I thought that’s all there was to him. Turns out he’s a cunning one!’

’If you’re going to have sex, then just do it! Why make such a huge scene? Are you afraid people *won’t* know what you’re up to?’

Meanwhile, beneath the Water Curtain, Su Luoluo was indeed feeling completely dazed and disoriented by Nantu’s actions.

Floating in the water, she finally managed to grab onto something for support. Her eyes instantly widened. Nantu, he...
