The cultivation pods on both sides were still narrowing toward the middle. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 30 centimeters. Bai Chunian could not even stand sideways and the air began to become thinner. He endured the heartache and dragged Rimbaud into the cultivation pod where Pearl was previously.
The space was finally a little larger, and Rimbaud could finally spread out and lie in Bai Chunian’s arms, resting against him weakly, eyes half-closed, light golden eyelashes trembling.
Bai Chunian bent down in extreme pain, choked with sobs and kissed his eyes over and over again. “Rimbaud, you can recover. There is nothing you can’t do, right? Please tell me quickly.”
“There are many things I can’t do.” The color of Rimbaud’s lips gradually faded, and he raised his pale fingertips to hold Xiao Bai’s cheek, “For example, I can’t save you.”
Bai Chunian could no longer control the mimicry, his lion ears clung to his hair and the fear deep in his heart showed through his instincts.
“I shouldn’t be here, I should have gone home with you. I’m too greedy. I wanted you to stay with me longer… From the beginning, you have been accommodating me, staying on land for me, and taking risks in entering the Research Institute for me, I’m sorry…”
“I’m scaring you, it’s just a small injury.” Rimbaud wiped his tears with the tip of his thumb.
Bai Chunian suddenly raised his head, looked at him with a red nose, and sniffed. “Really?”
Rimbaud wiped his eyes and turned to look at Pearl who stopped at the door.
Pearl was also shot in the heart by Rimbaud. The Dead Sea Heart Rock bullet penetrated his body. The hole left by the bullet emitted black smoke and could not be healed. Pearl’s body also became transparent bit by bit as his soul was dispersing.
Pearl knelt on the ground, carefully holding on to the door frame and not daring to come in. It was not until he saw Rimbaud hooking his hand that he hurriedly crawled in, knelt down next to Rimbaud and placed his small hands cautiously on his knees.
“Siren.” Pearl put his hands behind his back and lowered his head, his forehead almost touching the ground, showing surrender to the king.
Rimbaud didn’t know what happened, but he could guess that it was Pearl’s corpse, who was following Eternal Undead outside, that finally chose to surrender to him, which was why the summoned undead in front of him suddenly stopped attacking and admitted defeat.
Rimbaud could barely raise his hand and rubbed Pearl’s soft curly hair. His fingertips raised his chin, making him look up at Xiao Bai. “Do you know who he is?”
Pearl looked at Bai Chunian blankly, shaking his head.

Rimbaud taught him syllable by syllable, “Daimi. (Dad)”

“Daimi, daimi.” Pearl seemed to sense the gentle pheromones on the alpha in front of him. His instinct drove him to want to be touched and comforted. He stuck softly to Bai Chunian’s arm, absorbing the soothing pheromones that he should have had but had been missing for many years.
Bai Chunian opened his arms and took Pearl and Rimbaud into his arms, releasing a large amount of soothing pheromones, trapping them under the protection of his body.
Rimbaud kissed Pearl’s forehead gently, held Bai Chunian’s hand, put it on the back of Pearl’s neck, and whispered in Pearl’s ear with a mellow and magnetic voice, “Daimi gave you a nice name. Bai Aixing, do you like it?”
Pearl was immersed in boundless happiness, closing his eyes and nodding. “En.”
The bullet holes on his back were still emitting black smoke and the seriously injured soul was dispersing. One of Pearl’s hands and feet disappeared, and the bullet hole on his body was getting bigger and bigger, swallowing up his gray body.
“Do you agree to this name?” Rimbaud asked him.
Pearl’s body was still falling apart and disappearing. At this moment, he couldn’t even kneel to keep his balance. He could only put his cheek against Bai Chunian and Rimbaud’s hands, reluctant to leave and replied sincerely, “I agree.”
When he answered, his body suddenly stopped dissipating, but gradually compressed and solidified, getting smaller and smaller, and was squeezed into a small marble by the air.
Divine Envoy’s M2 ability was “Annihilation”, retaining the soul in a spherical amorphous form. When the marble was crushed, the annihilated person would be erased from the memory of the world. Except for Bai Chunian and the person who smashed the marble, all other people would lose their memory of that person and lose interest in exploring their existence.
Forgetting was a departure purer than death.
Although Pearl’s summoned body was gray, the marble that fell in Bai Chunian’s palm was pinkish white, like solidified strawberry-flavored milk.
Bai Chunian held the marble in his palm and put it carefully into his pocket, fearing that it would break. He hugged Rimbaud tightly and buried his face in the crook of his neck. His tears couldn’t stop wetting the moisturizing bandage on Rimbaud’s upper body.
Rimbaud became even more exhausted, lying in Bai Chunian’s arms, his breathing becoming weaker.
“Randi,” Rimbaud raised his hand with difficulty and put it on the back of his neck, erotically stroking his glands and barely raised the corners of his lips to chuckle, “Obe?”
Bai Chunian had a splitting headache and was almost suffocating, he shouted, “What are you thinking about at this time?!”
Rimbaud was a little aggrieved by the kitten and frowned to coax him, “I am immortal and no force can kill me. Throw me into the sea, bury me in the sand, and the sea will support me until I recover, as decades pass, I will return as good as before. But when I wake up, I will never see you again. Do I have to search for hundreds of millions of starfish at the bottom of the sea to find the one you have changed into?”
“Stop talking, I’ll take you out.” Bai Chunian gently laid Rimbaud on the ground, broke off a corner of the heart that Rimbaud had given him from the ore fish bone earrings and carefully patched up the big hole in his chest.
A corner of the ore repaired the gap in the heart, and the cracks in the heart began to slowly heal. Although the recovery speed was very slow, it was better than nothing. Rimbaud felt a little better and lay on the ground with his eyes closed to rest.
Seeing Rimbaud’s calm expression, only then Bai Chunian realized that this small piece of ore that was broken off to make earrings for him was also indispensable to Rimbaud. It was not something that could be given casually. Perhaps he was feeling a dull pain in his heart every day after giving this to him, but it didn’t matter—a merman’s love was as crazy and paranoid as that.
Bai Chunian slapped himself hard, trying his best to focus and calm down. He groped along every inch of the wall in the cultivation pod, looking for a way out.
If they couldn’t find a way out, this cultivation pod would become a transparent coffin where they would all be buried.
Bai Chunian noticed the Dead Sea Heart Rock heavy machine gun left by Pearl and ran quickly to move it in.
Through the transparent metal cultivation pod wall, Bai Chunian saw many A3-grade experimental subjects sleeping in their respective pods. If he wanted to destroy the pod and escape, other experimental subjects would inevitably be released. With the second-generation combat chip, their desire for massacre would make them forget familiarity for the sake of killing and destruction. Communication and cooperation would be impossible in a short period of time.
Bai Chunian hesitated and looked back. Rimbaud was curled up inside, rolling himself into a half ball. Although he didn’t say how much pain he felt, Bai Chunian could feel it.
Bai Chunian threw down his backpack, took off the ammunition belt on his body, tried to bear as little weight as possible, then slung the Dead Sea Heart Rock heavy machine gun on his body, holding the machine gun in one hand, and picking up Rimbaud with the other.
It was difficult for Rimbaud to open his eyes, so he weakly asked, “Is it heavy?” The three-meter-long fish tail was very heavy, but he really didn’t have the strength to change into a human form now.
“Hold on to me, it’s okay.” Bai Chunian raised his leg and pushed Rimbaud with his knee, so that he could hug him more firmly, “I can move a two-ton car, my wife who weighs two hundred pounds is nothing.”
“Are moving and running while moving the same thing?”
“You are not the same as a car.”
“Hen.”
Bai Chunian took a few steps back, leaned against the hatch, raised his heavy machine gun, and fired at what he judged to be the weakest part of the cultivation pod.
The sound of the gunshots made the eardrums buzz. The dense bullets hit the bulkhead at an extremely high rate of fire. The black bullet casings jumped outwards and were recast into bullets and filled back into the ammunition belt.
The bulkhead was deformed by the impact, a gap appeared, and Bai Chunian rushed out with a gun.
But this was not the only cultivation pod that was destroyed together. The solid cultivation pods were squeezed and stacked together, surrounding Bai Chunian and the others in the innermost layer. Bai Chunian had to rush out from the center.
The pods were destroyed, the water level of the cultivation fluid in the pods dropped rapidly and the experimental subjects woke up one by one.
Bai Chunian ran all the way, as low and loud roars came from behind him. The strange-shaped experimental subjects slowly stood up from the cultivation pod and looked up to the sky, roaring.
The Dead Sea Heart Rock heavy machine gun with unlimited bullets was held in Bai Chunian’s hand, breaking through doors and walls. The ignited brain vine was still burning fiercely in the corridor, and the hot bullet shells made a few bloody marks on Bai Chunian’s face. He lowered his head to touch Rimbaud’s cheek, blocking the flames that flew when the equipment burned and exploded.
Finally retreating to the cave-in behind the detection area, flames shot into the sky in the more than ten meters of cross section. Bai Chunian stopped and looked behind him. The firelight on the wall reflected the silhouettes of countless monsters chasing him.
With a heavy machine gun hanging on his body and holding Rimbaud in his arms, there was almost no running distance. It was impossible for Bai Chunian to leap to the other side of the chasm, which was more than ten meters away.
He dropped the heavy machine gun, hugged Rimbaud tightly with his numb hands, and hoarsely comforted, “Hold tighter.” He breathed rapidly, his throat was about to be burned and smoking, and his voice was as dry as a fire extinguisher that had not breathed out.
Bai Chunian’s eyes were a little blurry and dizzy, and he held on to the wall before he could stand still. His physical strength was exhausted, and every step forward was supported by willpower.
Rimbaud put his arms around his neck and asked softly, “It’s already dawn outside, right?”
He remained silent.
Rimbaud added, “We have to stop here.”
Bai Chunian’s eyes slowly turned red, and he clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall. “Impossible, don’t try to get rid of me. We have received our marriage books… The president said that after receiving them, I must treat you well for life and be together with you for life…”
“Randi, I want to confess something to you.” Rimbaud smiled faintly, raised his right hand, used his fangs to tear open the webbing between his fingers, looked for Bai Chunian’s hand, and clasped his fingers tightly.
“I hid this for a long time.”
“What?”
“When I left the institute, the first thought when I woke up was—I will lead the sea tribe to swallow the land.” When Rimbaud said this, he kept kissing him, using kisses to comfort his lonely and helpless lover. “After leaving the institute, I was caught by a human trafficking gang. That was also good; human disobedience and disrespect would be the reason for me to invade and submerge the land. But at that time, you appeared, falling from the sky to save me, so I put the plan on hold.”
“What? Didn’t you call me to save you?”
“What are you talking about? I never asked you to rescue me. I originally planned to go to IOA to snatch you when the land was submerged and kidnap you back to the Caribbean Merfolk Island to be my queen. I don’t know why you came there on your own initiative. Why did you come to save me?”
Bai Chunian couldn’t figure it out at all. “Didn’t you ask for help from IOA and call me to save you? The president said that you called two words in Morse code, white lion, weren’t you calling me?” As he spoke, he suddenly paused, “You… don’t know English…”
“Ah.” Rimbaud closed his eyes and smiled suddenly, “So that’s it. Does it mean white lion in your language?”
“That’s enough.” Rimbaud closed his eyes, “This farewell is enough. Destroy me, take me out, throw me into the sea, I will be reborn in the sea. The result will be the same as if you dragged my body out, we can’t see each other for a long time.”
“When you miss me, go to the beach, wait for a conch to get washed up on the shore, pick it up and put it next to your ear to listen. I will let the sea tell you that I am not far away.”
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )
I will believe what’s said on the front page that it hasn’t bad ending but those last chapters are really depressing ! I hope whatever happens to Rimbaud, injuries and hospitalised or asleep in the deep sea, that he would reflect a little on his selfishness. I really love him but he need to accept BaiChunian is caring for the little omegas and accept his affection for YanYi and LuSangJin and the others. Maybe it’s the punishment Satan predicted to Rimbaud but I hope our beloved selfish merman will change a little. For the best of course.
OMG – I had hoped so much that this wouldn’t happen, after second Pearl surrendered at the fountain. Their baby mermaid is dead and now Rimbard als want to surrender himself to a temporary demise. Please, no – let somebody save them, the have to stop this horrible woman and bring her to justice!
God, the tension and stakes in this novel are out of this world 😱
The angst in this novel is reaching peak levels 😭
