Chapter 97: Lost Songs of the Deep (24)


She was ten years old then.


To the same question, she answered 'yes.'


She nearly drowned in the bathtub, but her severely depressed mother reacted and pulled her out.


Ye Nianchu slowly raised her head, her eyes showing no emotion.


"Not good."


The person in front of her was not her mother, and even if she were, her answer wouldn't change this time.


The extremely beautiful woman’s expression suddenly turned cold. "Not good? Why not? It’s all your fault. Everything is caused by you. If you hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t have brought that woman back."


"It’s your fault, so you’re coming with me!"


Ye Nianchu’s lips curled into an extremely cold smile, and she said word by word, "I’m not wrong. Next time, remember to act better; she wouldn’t say such things."


"But there won’t be a next time for you."


"It’s not your turn to take my life, siren."


With that, she pushed forward, gripping the knife in her hand and stabbing it directly into the siren’s chest.


With a brief and piercing scream, the illusion disappeared, and the surroundings changed back.


It was still the same stormy sea.


The siren’s vitality in the sea was unusually strong; it was still struggling to drag Ye Nianchu down.


She took a deep breath, pushed the knife out, and stabbed again.


Now the siren was truly dead.


The undulating waves blocked Ye Nianchu, and her body grew colder.


In the distance, it seemed someone was beckoning, dressed in a striking life jacket as if walking on solid ground.


At that moment, a brilliant blue under the sea quickly swam toward Ye Nianchu.


The blue fish tail glowed and shimmered in the water, presenting a beauty she had never seen before.


It was too much!


If the siren didn’t work, now it had taken on Qin Mubai’s guise to set her up.


The siren might have faked its death; she should have stabbed it a few more times.


Ye Nianchu struggled harder, but it was really of no use in the sea.


How could she outswim a fish with just two legs?


A hand reached out from beside her, wrapping around her waist. A slightly deep voice fell on her ears, tinged with a bit of coercion, "Sister."


Ye Nianchu set down the knife and looked at the face close to hers. The first thing she did was reach out and pinch his cheek.


Not a siren.



---


Sitting on the deck of the white yacht, Ye Nianchu gazed at the blue fish tail, deep in thought.


"Have you mixed yourself into the game system?"


Or have the items in the system mall become so extraordinary now?


Qin Mubai was about to explain when Ye Nianchu slightly tilted her head to look at him, her eyes misty. "Can I touch it? Just once."


The blue fish tail glowed with an ethereal light. Combined with his delicate and perfect proportions, it truly embodied the saying, "There is no place like this in the world."


This is how captivating looks should be!


What were those green sirens?


If you're going to raise them, raise them like this!


Qin Mubai hesitated for a moment and nodded.


But he soon regretted it. He shouldn’t have agreed.


The restrictions on special abilities in this round of the game meant he couldn’t change back for a while, but he could still feel everything.


As her delicate white hand brushed the fish tail, his eyes deepened.


Ye Nianchu’s attention was focused on the stunning fish tail until Qin Mubai grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him.


"Sister, it’s dangerous for you to do that."


His handsome face lowered slightly, and a soft laugh fell, like a feather brushing her heart.


Ye Nianchu always felt there was more to his charm than usual.

Translation Update! 🍙 Translation Update! 🍙 ✨ Quick note: English isn't my first language, so please understand there might be some typos or awkward phrasing - I'm doing my best! ✨ Hey everyone, just a quick update: As of today, April 28, 2025 , I want to give you all a heads-up about a few small issues you might come across in the story, specifically with some of the prop names. It's not exactly a typo issue—it's more about changes I've made over time. For instance, I originally used the term 'data concealment number' but later changed it to 'number concealment data.' Since these are just prop names in the story, it's not a major issue for the plot, but I totally get that some of you might find it a little annoying if you're really particular about details. ...

 “Bang—” The air trembled, and bright light hit Gu Zhan's eyelids, making him squint. “Patient 707 has been admitted.” A cold female voice sounded. Patient 707? Who? Gu Zhan squinted against the blinding light and realized he was lying down under a surgical shadowless lamp. Next to him stood several people in deep green surgical scrubs, their faces obscured by the light. One of them leaned over to look at him; the blue medical mask covered most of his features, leaving only a pair of narrow, dark eyes visible. He said, “707 has woken up. Administer a sedative.” A syringe pierced the back of Gu Zhan's hand, and the cold liquid flowed in, gradually blurring his consciousness... ... “Crash—” “Bang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply. A metal bed was forcefully pushed away, sliding a great distance before crashing against the wall. Gu Zhan's head struck the bed frame heavily, and the intense pain momentarily brought him back to awareness. Then came the sound of a door ...

The broadcast from the main system echoed throughout the instance. In the pitch-black snowy night, accompanied by the eerie howling wind of the ebony forest, Jiang Yan felt utterly disoriented. The "Hunter" in front of him couldn’t hear the main system’s intrusive voice and was still waiting for his "little sheep" to kiss him. However, Jiang Yan simply reached out, gently touched the demon-like ram horns of the "Hunter," and then unhesitatingly pulled the blanket over his head. Hunter: "...So disobedient." Soon after, a kiss landed softly on the top of Jiang Yan's head. A pair of long, broad hands rested on his waist as the "Hunter" drifted into slumber. Meanwhile, the game forum’s players erupted into an explosive celebration: [I’m dying of laughter! What kind of penalty is this?? It’s my first time hearing such a ridiculous deduction reason!] [“Please immediately kiss the BOSS.” What the heck? Hahaha...] [This will go down...

Jiang Yan ignored 663, curling up under the blanket like a quail. The "Hunter" holding him would occasionally rub his head, seemingly captivated by the texture. Jiang Yan obediently played the role of a "pet." Based on his years of watching horror movies and reading scary stories, he knew that being "clever" or "kind-hearted" in such games only led to quicker deaths. "You still have five days," the Hunter said, savoring the softness and compliance of the person in his arms. His pale, pupil-less eyes glinted with pleasure. Although a sheep's head couldn't show human expressions, it was clear he was smiling. Hearing this, the four people huddled in the cage shivered in unison. Only Wang Yu sat blankly by the edge, tears streaming as he gazed at his lover. The "Cops and Robbers" Game The "Hunter" acted as the cop, giving the players (the "robbers") ten days to escape the forest. If they found t...

 In early September, during a Mathematical Analysis class at A University of Science and Technology, the sophomore students were noticeably distracted. The young professor at the podium glanced down and spotted a large group of students engrossed in their phones. Though he wasn’t a high school teacher, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly: “This generation is worse than the last. Even in Math Analysis class, they dare to slack off?” He could already envision the dismal outcomes on the final grades. Clearing his throat somewhat theatrically, he still received no attention. Growing annoyed, the professor resolved to be tough with the grades this year to combat this poor attitude. At the back of the classroom, Ge Zhicheng's heart raced as he continuously refreshed the backend of the academic system's page. What the professor didn’t know was that today was the day for second-year students in the College of Science to be reassigned to dormitories; the assignment list would be post...
