Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

Hearing what Mo Yuxin said, Su Yubing seemed as if she had an enlightenment and couldn’t help but have an understanding look in her eyes as she stared at Mo Yuxin as if she had said something truly amazing.

”Wow. I never thought about doing this before. It’s true, the existing methods of staying underwater is either by using an ’aqua pearl bead’ or the ’water resisting manuals’ but the the manual’s methods are extremely crude and doesn’t work effectively, on the other hand, ’aqua pearl beads are extremely rare.

If we can find a better and more efficient way to stay underwater without affecting our mobility and last much longer, it would be truly a wonderful method!!” Su Yubing was currently in an excited state as she kept muttering all the different ideas she had about inventing a new method for staying under water and couldn’t help but be distracted.

Hearing her mumbling, Mo Yuxin also thought what she said is true. After all, the methods of existing under water without affecting your mobility is something extremely rare in the world of cultivation. Even a nascent soul stage Cultivator may encounter difficulty in their mobility deep under water where the pressure is soo intense that it makes it even difficult to breath.

That’s why, Cultivators don’t usually try to provoke any deep underwater creature as fighting under water would make their attact power far less but for an underwater creature, they would be in their familiar territory giving them a huge advantage.

But the fact is, the usually large scale available methods are extremely crude in which it just creates a thin protective shield around the Cultivators body which keeps them separate from water but the oxigen provided is extremely finite which depends on the strength and how much spiritual power a Cultivator has.

The most important thing is that, cultivators below nascent soul can’t maintain this protective shield for long and the deeper they go underwater, the more the pressure is which in turn puts a huge burden in their ability to maintain this protective shield.

And as for the ’aqua pearl beads’, these are quite a rare treasure and ordinary Cultivators would have to spend a fortune in buying them. And there are even different grades of these treasures with different efficiency. The higher the grade, the longer the time you can stay underwater without pressure but the more expensive they become.

Seeing Su Yubing deep in thought, Mo Yuxin couldn’t help but laugh a little as she seemed really cute and Mo Yuxin couldn’t help but interject in her train of thoughts,

”Anyway, it’s not a problem. With our perfect proficiency in utilitising spiritual energy, it would not be problem for us to make an effective method which suits us the best.

After we enter this water elemental territory, we would first kill a few beasts to get a general understanding of them and try to go deeper down the water and perfect our method while also fighting. It would generate more pressure for us which would also help us temper our body and will.”

Hearing what Mo Yuxin said, Su Yubing also nodded in response before saying,

”Yes. Then let’s get ahead.” Su Yubing was obviously very curious about everything and her tone of voice also made it obvious that she was excited to try different adventures.

Mo Yuxin was also extremely indulgent of her and no matter what she wanted to do, Mo Yuxin would definitely stay beside her and support her.

As they finished talking, they finally came towards the space crack on the boundary between the two spaces. The space crack looked extremely stable without the slightest ripple but the dark gloomy space inside looked frightening nonetheless.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing looked at each other and Mo Yuxin subconsciously took Su Yubing’s hand in her hand and their fingers interlocked quite naturally as if they have done this act thousands of times.

Then they looked into each other’s eyes full of warms and love and jumped into the space crack without any hesitation.

The moment they entered the space crack, they felt a pulling force inside which made them quite uncomfortable but it only for moment, before they found themselves high in the sky in the water elemental space and below them was the vast ocean filled with nothing but still water, dark blue in colour and the scary silence without a single wave or the sound of any beast makes it even more frightening.

As they appeared above the space crack, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both weren’t quite ready as they weren’t utilising their flight ability and the next second, they both felt the pull of gravity and fell down almost instantly.

”Ahh!!” Su Yubing was more surprised as a soft scream couldn’t help but escape her mouth as the sudden fall made her even forget to fly for a second but the next moment, she fell into a warm familiar embrace!

Of course, it was Mo Yuxin’s as she was surprised only for a moment and almost instantly collected her thoughts and utilised flight to hold Su Yubing in her arms.

At the moment, they appeared above in the air and started falling down, Mo Yuxin was only suprised for a moment before hearing Su Yubing’s soft cream and immediately tightened her hand holding hers and pulled her towards her arms while utilising her flight almost subconsciously.

She pulled Su Yubing in her arms and held her tightly as she whispered in her ears,

”It’s okay. I’m here.”

After the initial shock which made her scream a little, Su Yubing also quickly calmed herself and could also use her fly but she chose not to when she was pulled into this familiar embrace.

Feeling herself tightly held by the familiar embrace as the familiar scent filled her nostrils, Su Yubing couldn’t help but feel that she has become too dependent on Mo Yuxin and she didn’t reject this feeling but liked it.

After a moment, Su Yubing came out of Mo Yuxin’s embrace as they both looked into each other’s eyes before looking down at the vast expanse of dark blue.

As far as the eyes could see, it was all water, dark blue water, extremely still without a single sound, nor was there any waves on the surface, as if it nothing was here, as if the whole space was in a standstill where time has stopped flowing.

It felt extremely deserted but Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both knew with their keen senses that under the water, there were a lot of creatures flowing down.

Some were even looking right at them as if eager for them to fall into the water, so they could prey on them.

Mo Yuxin looked at Su Yubing before saying,

”Let’s go inside the water?”

Hearing her words, Su Yubing nodded in response as they both flew straight down towards the water without any hesitation.

The moment before they touched the water surface, they both coated themselves in a thin layer of spiritual energy and created a somewhat of a cover to cover themselves with and directly entered into the water.

The moment they completely submerged themselves into the water, they both felt the immense pressure from the surrounding water completely covering them as the dense water seemed to be trying to overpower their thin barrier and try to break in.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing only paused for a single moment before they decided that they’ve adapted to the change of pressure and continued to explore the surroundings under water.

But before they could even take a step further, a whistling sound came from behind them as a creature flashed passed them at a really fast speed.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing had already noticed it and and evaded it with relatively ease and just side stepped a few distance to avoid clashing with it.

But the creature who came towards them obviously had other intentions as it didn’t seem to have any intention of just passing by and suddenly came to stop a few distance from them.

Seeing it stopping, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing also understood it’s intentions but it didn’t really matter as they had already thought about going with the second condition of killing all the beasts underwater including it.

As the creature came to a stop, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing also got a clearer look at it but what shocked Mo Yuxin was that it really looked like a mermaid in fantasy and the only difference was that it was way too ugly to be called a mermaid.

It had rows of sharp and creepy teeths which were not only extremely long but also protruding from their mouth. It wasn’t even white but deep yellow as if someone hasn’t brushed their teeths for years and exuded an extremely disgusting odor.

It had a fish like tail just like a mermaid, obviously a male species with burly body and the twitching muscles gave away to it’s massive physical strength.

Suddenly Mo Yuxin heard Su Yubing’s calm voice beside her ears,

”It’s a ’Tail Bone Mermaid’. ”
