"Am I... killed by a shark?" Tong Xingtong's mind was shaken, some inexplicable thoughts creeping into her heart. She had imagined a thousand ways to die, like being hit by a car or kicked by a donkey... but she never imagined she'd fall prey to a shark.

The tiger shark's attack was fierce and swift. Its enormous body had just surfaced before diving back into the depths, and with it, Tong Xingtong's figure disappeared.

"Enjoy playing with the shark, I'm out of here!" Ye Chen rescued Tong Xingtong and suddenly picked up speed, disappearing from their sight.

The tiger shark posed no threat to them; as long as Ye Chen ran off, the goddesses could fend off the shark in seconds and chase after Ye Chen.

"Tong Xingtong wasn't eaten by the shark, she was snatched away by Ye Chen!" Su Binglan saw Ye Chen holding Tong Xingtong. This guy rescued Tong Xingtong and then just ran off with her in his arms.

"Tong Xingtong isn't interested in men, how did Ye Chen manage to whisk her away!" Liu Shihua said, finding the situation strange.

"..."

"Boom!"

The water burst open as the enormous tiger shark returned, furious that its prey had been stolen just before it could feast, indicating with its ferocious attack that this time it must devour a goddess!

"Bang!"

The tiger shark lunged at Liu Shihua, but she punched it down.

Liu Shihua's cultivation was not average; she was a Mid Grandmaster Stage powerhouse. A punch from her was enough to topple brick walls and snap steel beams, so the tiger shark stood no chance against her blows.

"You disobedient, stupid fish, you didn't bite me earlier but now you're looking for trouble. I'm going to punch you to death, you big star!" Liu Shihua's fists erupted with True Qi as she struck the shark underwater.

"Ye Chen, there are no more sharks here; you can put me down now," Tong Xingtong said.

Tong Xingtong had smelled the fishy breath of the shark, and perhaps one second more would have led to her demise, but Ye Chen rescued her from the jaws of death, and they had been sprinting ever since, reaching a deserted place.

Could it be that Ye Chen did this on purpose?

After Ye Chen returned to land, it was already late at night.

Ye Chen didn't go back to the hotel but followed Tong Xingtong to the villa that Su Binglan had purchased.

Chu Yanran and Yun Xianghan left the hotel and arrived at the villa as well.

After Ye Chen had finished this ultimate battle unscathed, there was no need for him to pretend to be cold anymore.

"Ye Chen, what were you and Tong Xingtong doing? Why did it take you so long to come back!" As soon as Ye Chen arrived at the villa, he was immediately interrogated by Liu Shihua and surrounded by a group of goddesses.

"We didn't do anything; we just came straight to the villa without stopping," Ye Chen answered blankly, seemingly unaware of why Liu Shihua would ask such a question.

"You're lying!" Liu Shihua glared at Ye Chen and exposed his lie. "It's already past eleven o'clock at night, we've been back for over three hours, and you two only just arrived. What misdeeds have you two been up to!"

After Ye Chen took Tong Xingtong away, Liu Shihua and the others had chased after them but failed to catch up with Ye Chen.

They thought Ye Chen had taken Tong Xingtong back to the villa, but when they got back and didn't find Ye Chen, they waited for more than three hours.

If Ye Chen didn't return soon, they were ready to call the police and search the sea for bodies.

"We really didn't do anything; we just got lost on the way, that's why it took us so long to come back," Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen and Tong Xingtong's late arrival, of course, meant that they had been wandering around everywhere, taking the opportunity to develop their relationship.

"Who believes your nonsense!" Liu Shihua was clearly not so easily deceived.

"Xing Tong, what exactly happened? Tell me, and I'll take care of you!" Meanwhile, Chu Yanran approached Tong Xingtong with concern.

"Nothing, we just got lost, so we arrived late," Tong Xingtong said calmly. "The sea breeze was too strong on our way here; it gave me a headache and made me feel uneasy. You all chat; I'm going to my room to rest."

Seeing the goddesses pressuring Ye Chen, Tong Xingtong felt an inexplicable panic and fled to her room to rest.

"Xing Tong, don't go, I still have things to ask you," Chu Yanran glanced at Ye Chen, not bothering to speak with him, and followed Tong Xingtong.

"Okay, it's getting dark, where am I sleeping tonight?" Ye Chen said.

"Sleep on the sofa," Su Binglan stated.

...

In Ye Chen's stunned expression, the goddesses one after another ran off.

Yun Xianghan had once told Ye Chen that his obstinate behavior was inappropriate and that he would most likely reap what he sowed.

At this moment, Yun Xianghan's prophecy had come true, as Ye Chen was indeed being given the cold shoulder by the goddesses.

Ye Chen felt like an idiot, having scripted and directed such a major drama of the year, only to end up digging a hole for himself.

"Binglan, open the door," Ye Chen arrived in front of Su Binglan's door and knocked politely, wanting to go in.

"Scram, the goddess is going to sleep and doesn't have time to play with you," Su Binglan's voice came through the door panel.

...

Ye Chen hesitated for a while, but eventually did not kick the door down and enter.

If Su Binglan wasn't opening the door for him, it meant she was truly angry, and Ye Chen didn't want to provoke her further.

"If you're not opening the door, so be it. There are plenty of rooms; where can't I sleep?" Ye Chen comforted himself with this thought.

However, Ye Chen was soon disappointed to find that all the rooms had been locked by them.

"Do I really have to sleep in the living room?" Ye Chen blinked, starting to feel a bit scared.

However, just as Ye Chen was about to resign himself to his fate, the door of a room suddenly opened.

"Ye Chen, come here quickly, don't let them find out!" Liu Shihua called out to Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, come to my room!" At that moment, Li Yan also opened his room door.

"I thought you guys were ignoring me?" Ye Chen said, surprised.

"Su Binglan laid down the law, so we had to make it look convincing," Liu Shihua said. "But it's okay now, hurry over!"

"Ye Chen, you come to my room, otherwise I'll get mad!" Li Yan looked like he was about to compete with Liu Shihua for Ye Chen.

...

Ye Chen felt a bit torn, where should he go?

"Ye Chen, come here," Lin Ying then opened her door and softly called out to Ye Chen.

"Lin Ying, why are you here stirring up trouble!" Liu Shihua said discontentedly.

"Don't lecture me, otherwise I'll hit you!" Lin Ying said coldly.

...

"Did you encounter any problems during your sweeping victory today?" Inside the room, Lin Ying asked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's performance today was that of a ferocious deity, sweeping through the crowd of heroes, leaving even figures like Na Wudao, the Emperor, and Yun Zheyue with no chance to escape.

But in this world, there's no such thing as someone absolutely divine. Ye Chen was valiant and invincible today, making Lin Ying worry he might have overexerted himself and run into some trouble.

"I'm fine," Ye Chen felt warmth in his heart.

This reticent cold beauty always showed such tender concern for him.

"My battle with Na Wudao was uncertain at first, but I had an unexpected breakthrough before the final fight, reaching a realm so enigmatic that as long as The Other Shore doesn't step in, I can be invincible!"
