Killing God - Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Starfish
The clothes Shen Shi wore were an ordinary Lingxiao Sect outer sect disciple uniform. It was grey and white. It didn’t look unusual, but it felt very comfortable on his body. It seemed that Lingxiao Sect had always been magnanimous and did not treat the daily necessities of these rookies in the slightest.

Starfish looked to be about the same age as Shen Shi. If it weren’t for the two bright red clam shells on her body, she would be no different from an ordinary human girl. However, since she was from the Red Clam Monster Race, her thoughts and behavior were different from what Shen Shi had imagined. After seeing Shen Shi take off his clothes, Starfish did not show any signs of shyness. Instead, she looked at Shen Shi curiously, as if she was curious about how these humans who did not have clam shells on their bodies looked like.

Not long ago, when he slaughtered the Ghost-Faced Shrimp, blue stained blood splattered all over his body. Therefore, Shen Shi simply took off his clothes and trousers, leaving behind only a pair of personal shorts. Compared to Miss Hai Xing’s curious expression, Shen Shi felt a little uncomfortable. However, it didn’t matter when he thought about it. He laughed heartily, grabbed his clothes and ran into the sea.

The waves were filled with white waves that slammed against the pure white sand beach. Shen Shi jumped into the sea water, and a cold aura suddenly came from the surrounding clear sea water, causing him to involuntarily shiver. He raised his head to look at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The sea and sky were the same color, and the waves were gentle. The warm sunlight shone on his body, gradually dispelling the chill on his body. His body seemed to have gradually adapted to the water temperature around him, and the slightly salty sea aura surrounded him from all directions.

This was the first time in his life that he stood in the sea.

Waves of ocean waves came from the distant sea surface and gently surged onto the beach. It was as if his body was constantly being pushed back and forth by a hand in the sea water. This was a completely different feeling from rivers and lakes. It gave Shen Shi, who had lived in the mountainous inland area of Yin Province since childhood, a completely fresh feeling.

After a while, he finally recovered from this novelty and began to wash away the blue stains of blood on his body and clothes. When the dirty blood on his body and clothes came into contact with the seawater, it was indeed as Hai Xing said. The seawater seemed to be particularly effective against this stain. Shen Shi only rubbed it slightly and quickly washed away the blood stains that adhered to his clothes and body.

Seeing the boy in the sea washing and playing with some curiosity and excitement, Hai Xing, who was on the shore, seemed to have seen it interesting as well, and a smile slowly hung on the corner of his mouth.

The waves in the sea were a little big, but for Hai Xing, who had grown up on the beach since childhood, it was already a common occurrence, and he didn’t feel anything. She looked at the beach for a while, Just as he was thinking about whether he should first take back the sixteen pieces of shrimp meat that Shen Shi had obtained from shrimp peeling today to the Village Chief’s grandfather, he suddenly saw that Shen Shi had just finished washing his clothes and body in the seawater. For a moment, he did not seem to notice that the seawater was slightly rising. From the place where he had just reached his thigh, it had already quietly flowed to his waist.

Hai Xing hesitated for a moment and frowned. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to shout something to Shen Shi in the water. However, before she could say anything, he suddenly saw a large wave surging out of the seawater and rushing over.

This wave was much higher than the previous one, In addition to the water that had quietly risen quite a bit, It actually covered Shen Shi’s neck all of a sudden. This time, it was beyond Shen Shi’s expectations. He had originally half turned around and was about to go ashore. However, he was suddenly washed away from behind by the sea wave. The power in the sea water was unexpectedly strong. He staggered and was actually washed down by the sea wave.

“Boom!” The wave slammed heavily on the beach, and then it rolled back. The starfish on the shore took a step forward, but it was actually unable to see Shen Shi’s figure on the water surface.

Hai Xing hesitated for a moment, and a trace of worry flashed across his face. Fortunately, at this moment, a figure emerged from the waves. It was Shen Shi. Looking at where he was, he was blown far away by the waves. Only then did Hai Xing let out a sigh of relief and looked at him unhappily. Who would have thought that this gaze would immediately make the red clam girl nervous again, because amidst the rolling waves, she saw Shen Shi dancing and struggling desperately.

‘”No way” Hai Xing’s eyes widened. He didn’t quite believe the look in his eyes and rubbed his eyes. In the end, he was sure that although the human youth had been calm, collected, and tough from the beginning, he really didn’t know how to water!

‘”Pa!” Hai Xing threw away the big bowl in his hand, completely ignoring how many pieces of white and tender shrimp meat fell on the beach beside him. He took a few steps towards the beach, and his naked and tender feet splashed with snow-white waves, flying in the air.

The red and bright clam shell suddenly opened at her waist. Then, she saw that slender and beautiful figure leap up like a delicate red fish, sweeping through a beautiful trajectory in midair and jumping into the clear water with a “whoosh” sound.

Under the blue sky, in the pure white waves, her figure was clearly visible, like a swift fish, swimming incomparably fast in the seawater. Even if she faced the waves, she did not decrease at all, swiftly swimming towards the struggling youth’s side.

A moment later, Shen Shi, who was panicking in the sea, suddenly felt a slippery body suddenly rush up from the sea. “Crash!” With a crisp sound, water splashed everywhere. Hai Xing’s beautiful face appeared beside him with droplets of water. He grabbed onto his arm and said swiftly, “Don’t move, I’ll save you.”

However, after drinking several mouthfuls of seawater, it was precisely Shen Shi who was in a panic. He seemed to be unable to calm down all of a sudden. He only felt that he did not have any hands or feet to step on. There was also a terrifying power in the waves. He desperately dragged himself down as if he was drowning himself. He could not help but struggle and shake.

Hai Xing was struggled a few times by him and almost couldn’t catch him. At the same time, Shen Shi danced and beat the seawater randomly, causing waves to splatter and chaos. He almost choked on the seawater.

Within the seawater, Hai Xing’s small face turned stiff. It seemed that he was a little anxious. He shouted and raised his hand with a “pa” sound, slapping Shen Shi neatly on the face.

Shen Shi was shocked. His body became much quieter in the water. It was as if he could see the people around him clearly, and his emotions calmed down a little. Hai Xing grasped this opportunity and immediately leaned over. At the same time, he simply wrapped his white arm around Shen Shi’s neck and said, “Relax, don’t exert yourself. I’ll take you back to the shore.”

The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn’t say anything in the end. However, in this unfamiliar sea water, he finally obeyed Starfish’s words and forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart. He didn’t move.

Gradually, he suddenly realized that his body was much lighter. Originally, it was like countless ghost hands were trying to drag him into the sea, but now, it was like a pair of gentle palms were slowly pushing his body up. His real body floated up.

Starfish’s body was swimming in the water. He held Shen Shi’s neck with one arm, keeping his head on the surface of the water all the time. Then, he slowly swam towards the shore with him.

The seawater was still surging. Shen Shi was immersed in the water. When the sun shone down from the sky, he narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the warmth of the sun again. There was also a faint fragrance coming from the soft body beside him.

The fair and delicate arms wrapped around his neck …

Blue sky, white clouds, sea breeze, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his mood was inexplicably very good. For a moment, he actually had a feeling that it would be good to swim to the shore later. Splashes of water burst forth. It was Hai Xing who swam forward with him while slapping the sea water. Because Shen Shi no longer struggled, Hai Xing also saved a lot of effort and became much more relaxed.

“Hua Hua!” The two of them walked up again from the sea, Although her clothes were completely wet, Miss Starfish felt relaxed. On the contrary, Shen Shi looked a little embarrassed. However, it was only when she got ashore that she could see it clearly. She did not know what kind of mentality Shen Shi had at the critical moment of life and death just now, but he was still firmly holding onto the clothes he had taken off.

Hai Xing naturally saw the thing in his hand and glared at him angrily, “You are such a big person, can’t you still water?”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, “I used to live in mountains and rarely saw water, so I won’t …”

Hearing that Shen Shi actually didn’t have the slightest intention to refute, He admitted it honestly, Hai Xing was stunned for a moment. On the contrary, he felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, the corner of his eyes landed on Shen Shi’s cheek. He saw five fingerprints clearly printed on it. Hai Xing’s face instantly turned a little red. After hesitating for a while, he whispered, “Sorry for hitting you just now … Does it hurt?”

Shen Shi touched his cheek and said, “It hurts.”

Starfish became even more embarrassed. Her pretty little face turned even redder. She explained in a low voice, “You were the one who struggled so hard just now. I …”

Shen Shi suddenly interrupted her and smiled, “Good call.”

Hai Xing was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi smiled and looked at her without any anger or ridicule. A moment later, he heard Shen Shi say, “Thank you for saving my life.”

For some reason, Hai Xing’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, “It’s fine, it should be.”

Just as Shen Shi was about to say something, Suddenly, his gaze narrowed. However, he hadn’t noticed before. Only now did he seriously see Hai Xing’s body. Because he had saved his life, he rushed into the water and his clothes were soaked. At this moment, they were all stuck to his body. As for the girls from the Red Clam Clan, they seemed to have developed earlier and better than the girls from the Human Clan. Some of the undulating peaks could already be seen.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned around. Hai Xing looked at his appearance and felt that it was a little strange. He asked curiously, “What happened to you?”

Shen Shi remained silent for a moment and said, “Your clothes are wet. Do you want to go change to avoid being blown cold by the sea breeze? It’s not good for you to get sick.”

Hai Xing chuckled and waved his hand carelessly. “It’s fine. We’re not like you humans. Before we cultivated, our bodies were really weak. I’ve been like this at the seaside since I was young. I went ashore and blew for a while. It’s fine.”

Shen Shi was speechless for a moment. The corner of his eyes couldn’t help but glance at the girl beside him. He quickly turned around and pretended to be fine. After thinking for a while, he said, “Anyway, thank you so much for today. I’ll come back tomorrow. Oh… Is it okay at that time? Did you wake up at that time?”

Hai Xing put his hands on his hips and glared at him, “Do you think I’m a girl who can sleep late until then?”

Shen Shi immediately shook his head and said, “Why don’t I come over at dawn?”

After thinking for a while, Starfish nodded and said, “Alright, it looks like you’re the only one who will peel the shrimp anyway. I’ll wait for you at the village entrance tomorrow.”

Shen Shi smiled and nodded in agreement, “Alright.” He waved to Hai Xing and said, “Then I’ll go back first.”

She turned around and took two steps. Suddenly, the starfish girl behind her shouted, “Hey, I don’t know your name yet.”

When Shen Shi thought about it, he hurriedly turned around and smiled, “My name is Shen Shi.”

The waves rushed onto the beach. Under the golden sunlight, the beautiful red clam girl wore sparkling droplets of water on her face. Her body was curvaceous and her smile was like a flower. She waved her hand and said,

“My name is Hai Xing.”

Shen Shi laughed heartily, his smile bright and happy.
