The village chief navigated the muddy and turbid sea surface in a small boat – with a skillful posture that was starkly different from his frail and feeble appearance.
It was no longer like rowing a boat but more like riding on a large fish, or some other living entity. The small wooden boat was incredibly agile, with just a slight stroke of the oar on the water, it would dart forward a long distance.
At the same time, as if afraid of disturbing something, the village chief’s movements were very gentle. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t opt for the more effortless motorboat prepared by the village women and instead chose to use a wooden boat that required him to paddle himself when going out to sea.
“In fact, he might be able to swim there himself.” Casey Cat lay comfortably beside Xu Yintang, stretching out into a long cat shape. He tilted his head slightly to let Xu Yintang scratch his chin, emitting a contented purring sound from his throat.
Between Casey Cat and the other one, Second Treasure eventually compromised, reluctantly allowing Casey Cat to approach their mother to get some petting.
Although the cubs could more or less feel the inherent connection between Shi Yuebai and Casey Cat, the two resonated and merged spiritually in a way that couldn’t be severed. But in terms of the level of danger they exhibited, Casey Cat was much more honest than the scheming male mistress.
Little Darling sighed humanely at the stubbornness of his two brothers, his tentacles climbing up his mother’s arm and turning to peek at Shi Yuebai. Seeing him smiling gracefully with an air of dignity, he gave up and slumped down, his tentacles gently hooking onto his mother’s fingers, enjoying the happy moments of being close to him.
Anyway, as long as mother is happy…
As for the younger brothers and others, whatever…
The boat Xu Yintang and the others were sitting in was much more advanced and comfortable than the small wooden boat the village chief was rowing. It was a black technology specialty brought back from a future background, with its own optical camouflage effect, and covered with another copy specialty invisibility cloak. Along the way, the village chief hadn’t noticed anyone following behind.
The abnormality of the seawater drew all his attention. For a monster resembling a serpent or a dragon, as Casey Cat had said, he could completely transform into his original form and swim away, which would definitely be easier than rowing as slowly as a turtle. However, the murky seawater hindered his choice to dive in.
In that murky water emitting a terrifying and ominous aura, there were too many incomprehensible and twisted pollutants that made everyone who touched the seawater go mad, the enormous chaos squeezing their bodies and forcing them into the sea, merging completely with the source of pollution.
Even though the village chief was tough and resilient, it was difficult for him to completely immunize himself against this pollution’s erosion.
What he feared even more was the immense resentment mingled in the murky seawater, like sharp swords and axes aimed at him. He knew where that resentment came from and mistakenly believed that the source of the pollution mutation was the same thing.
That thing made him have to take risks to investigate here. At this important moment of his molting and transformation, he had to personally eliminate hidden dangers and ensure that everything was perfectly prepared.
Even if he was weak and frail compared to his prime, whatever was in the sea below, it was nothing more than a dead fish to him.
The village chief both feared what was in the sea and had confidence in himself.
He put down the oar, twisted his neck and body, and his entire body swayed and stretched as if it had no bones, with his thin arms and legs dangling on his elongated body like four dry tree branches.
It was hard to say whether he was a snake, a dragon, or some similar creature. What appeared on the sea surface seemed more like a large sausage filled with crushed flesh and blood.
The chunks of flesh stuffed inside kept squeezing against each other as the body twisted, emitting a sticky, mournful sound as if they were still alive. The dry and wrinkled skin was a dirty semi-transparent black-green color, with most of the tiny scales shed, any movement would rub off large flakes of skin like powder, falling onto the sea surface and emitting a violently corroded sizzle.

Shi Yuebai sighed helplessly, “Whether it’s vomited out or excreted, it makes me reluctant to go into the water.”
Vomit and excrement, both are quite disgusting.
Xu Yintang tilted his head and looked at him, blinking innocently with a look similar to Second Treasure’s, “Naturally, bodies of water are originally nature’s sewage treatment plants, and we must respect the diversity of aquatic species.”
According to the nature documentaries he had watched, even in equatorial waters, one could find feces left by polar whales.
“Of course,” Xu Yintang added, “I also find it quite disgusting.”
As they spoke, the village chief’s sprayed minced meat and blood had already spread to a small area of the surrounding water, the viscous flesh-red color forming an incompatible boundary with the murky and greasy seawater, and the seawater visibly engulfing those minced meat and blood at a rapid rate, assimilating them into the same pollutant.
After the village chief sprayed out in one breath, the entire “sausage” had shrunk considerably. Without wasting any time, he slid into the water while the red color had not yet been completely engulfed by the seawater.
“Hah.” Xu Yintang sighed with a single tone at his movement, “He went down along with it, which means the side up part was the butt.”
“…” Shi Yuebai sighed again, leaning over to bite his mouth, stopping him from saying any more disappointing topics, “Are you… a bit too excited?”
Their lips touching felt a bit dry, and they could feel a subtle rise in temperature as their skin pressed against each other. A faint golden color surged in Shi Yuebai’s eyes as he focused on Xu Yintang’s lower abdomen.
Xu Yintang had never noticed his gaze before, always allowing him to look openly, but this time, he seemed to sense it sensitively, as if his gaze had swept away his tail, he shrank his belly a bit and moved his head away in another direction.
“It’s already excited enough here; it’s better not to stimulate it further.”
The viscous and dirty pollutants in the seawater, when observed from the shore, didn’t seem much, but when he were really close to the water and within reach, the urgent desire to breed and thrive within his uterus made his lower abdomen ache repeatedly, as if they couldn’t wait to devour all the dirty and sticky seawater and turn him into a whole polluted area.
Even the excrement sprayed out by the village chief couldn’t deter the awakening desire in his body; the blood-red moonlight surged and churned in his consciousness. Xu Yintang was well aware that he was in an absolutely unusual state of rationality, forcing his will and reason to operate beyond their limits, understanding and restraining that inappropriate desire.
Shi Yuebai rewarded Xu Yintang with another kiss, praising him in the tone of a training camp instructor, “That’s it, you’ve learned to control it already, very well.”
Understanding, restraint, consumption—then the plundered power would completely transform oneself.
The boat they were on followed the village chief’s trail and sank into the water. Xu Yintang watched as the seawater gradually engulfed his surroundings, the light fading into darkness all around, and he smiled and gently kissed back, “Of course, I’ve always been very clever.”
His gentle and understated demeanor, coupled with the rare lively excitement and the proud arrogance evident in his eyebrows and corners of his eyes, also made Shi Yuebai dizzy and fascinated.
In order not to disturb the village chief swimming ahead in the form of a meat sausage, Shi Yuebai turned off the lights on the boat. After the boat sank, they could only rely on their naked eyes to observe the dark underwater world.
Under such visibility conditions, Xu Yintang should have only seen vague outlines. However, the energy within his body was too active, so active that he could clearly grasp the flow of moonlight coursing through his veins for the first time.
In a natural sense, the moon’s magnetic field influences the tidal changes of the ocean. It resonates with the shattered illusion of the blood moon in his consciousness, as well as with the fluctuations of this area of seawater contaminated and eroded by the presence of several brats.
Xu Yintang could feel how his consciousness extended and entangled in the seawater, displaying everything emitting heat in his consciousness like a colorful thermal image. He didn’t need to think; just like a spider spinning a web, he effortlessly wove a huge and complex hunting trap, capturing all the prey that suited his fancy.
Ugly, dirty, filthy—compared to them, Little Darling, who had just emerged, could be considered cute and lovely.
Xu Yintang lowered his eyebrows and greeted the new brat stuck in the spider web, unable to move.
“Be a good child,” he announced cheerfully. For a moment, the red and blue mottled patterns climbed onto his cheeks.
Those patterns were extremely similar to the ones symbolizing Daeis on his lower abdomen, but they had even simpler and sharper lines, and a softer touch.
Thus, despite the high similarity that could be judged as plagiarism, no one would mistake them for each other.
It wasn’t a spider web, nor was it a vine.
It was the hot-blooded veins, pulsating weakly but persistently with the heartbeat.
A pattern unique to Xu Yintang.
This pattern only appeared for a moment, and the next second, it disappeared into the depths of his skin, quietly lurking beneath the layer of more active and powerful, spider web-like blood-red patterns.
Xu Yintang pacified his restless heartbeat, carving the fleeting pattern into his memory.
It wasn’t time yet…
Patience, patience…
…
Relying on the trail of minced meat and blood he sprayed out, the village chief reached his destination before the meat sausage turned into a shrunken sausage cloak. In the pitch-black seawater, he couldn’t see anything clearly, but he knew that beneath his current position on the seabed lay the corpse of a dragon.
He had killed it with his own hands, devoured its heart one bite at a time, and donned its skin, but he could never replace the body of the dragon.
But what did it matter?
The already dead dragon was nothing more than a worm that he could slaughter.
The village chief, facing the direction of the seabed, sprayed out another mass of minced meat.
The next moment, the seabed emitted a groan of unbearable pain, something rolling and struggling, and a thunderous roar made the viscous and terrifying pollutants in the seawater tremble, evading the enormous corpse that stretched and writhed endlessly, invisible to its end.
He—unable to call that existence by its name—seemed to still live there, towering and inviolable. Even as he crawled on the seabed, his body torn and damaged, he still seemed to be towering above, looking down on everything like insignificant ants.
Even, even Second Treasure and Third Flora, who prided themselves on being beautiful, admitted that they inexplicably felt short of breath when they first saw this corpse.
The village chief let out an angry and piercing roar, stimulated and losing all reason, fiercely pounced on and began tearing at the dragon corpse.
For a moment, the golden and unusually sweet dragon blood spread, effortlessly blending into the filthy and sticky pollutants, adding a fragment of sunlight-like brightness to the pitch-black color.
…
“It looks like this…” Xu Yintang tried his best to distinguish the details of the thermal imaging picture with his extended consciousness, and continued the previous topic, “There seems to be a mouth there?”
Shi Yuebai looked at the frenzy-like meat sausage and couldn’t stop himself from joining in, “It should be shared, he doesn’t have an opening in the other direction.”
“Then it really is like a lamprey,” Xu Yintang exclaimed happily, getting closer to carefully observe the gigantic version of the lamprey, and in a state of heightened reproductive desire, blurted out, “Can I catch it and raise it? Little Darling seems to really like it.”
The brats were all sensible, and there was enough space in the hospital. When the new brats were about to arrive, raising a few small pets would divert the attention of the older children…
Well, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Author’s Note –
Little Darling clearly didn’t say anything!
Mother Xu Yintang: It’s a moving meat sausage! Look, it’s so interesting!
Also, strongly advise against searching for images of lamprey. Especially late at night.
Nope, not looking up Lampreys any time soon.
I wonder if it looks like lots of lampreys joined together or one eel with squished areas 🤔
searching for images of lamprey
I dunno about you, but I had extreme regret after seeing that
Yeah, pretty ugly. But as for me, still better than millipedes. 😱
If it’s better than millipedes I can rest assured
Thanks for the warning, I almost did search!
I feel like i received so many sanity checks this chapter, imagining the lamprey puking out blood and gross stuff and a sea smelling of rot and these two boys kissing and being excited, oof.
When did Xu Yingtang have time to watch all this TV?? He’s only had control over the hospital for what, a month? And he’s already watched at least a few episodes of Doctor Who, some kind of drama series, and at least two nature documentaries… did Shi Yuebai set him up with a TV and all his streaming passwords for him to binge in his free time? 🤣🤣
Also, I love lampreys! Funky sea worm friends! 💜
Me: Ignores question Okay I’ve got some bleach, some holy water, and some strange unholy juice from another dimension?? (Don’t know how I got that 🤷🏽♀️) Anyway time to mix these babies up and hopefully clear my soul or die trying.¯\(ツ)/¯
My brain: You’re not really gonna do that, are you!!??😱 (How the heck did you even get stuff from another dimension??🤯) Okay I take everything I said back I won’t mess with you again, I was just joking alright.
Me: Sorry I don’t really trust you at all, so anyways bottoms up takes huge gulps of the uhh unholy mix??
i couldnt resist. i had to search what it was and it was way more disgusting than i thought. nah, its orifice looks like an alien creature from my nightmares. i got so traumatized i showed the pictures to my mom lol

Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Me at the warning: You can’t stop me! I’ll search it up, even if it’s nighttime!
Me afterwards: I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I think I’ll have nightmares now. It’s disgusting. I hate it. Nope, never again.
