Death… And Me

Chapter 3091  Gone

Back in Tanaʼs residence, Rean, Tana, and Yuan were gathered together to talk about everything...

Well, Rean didnʼt want to be there. ”Why am I even here? Arenʼt you going to make descendants? I donʼt want to see Tana laying her eggs for Yuan to fecundate, you know?”

Tana got all red again. ”Shut up! Do you want me to beat to a pulp?! No one is laying any eggs now!”

Yuan agreed with her. ”Thatʼs right, Rean. There is a specific time for that to happen, so you will have to come back later.”

”No one is coming back!” Tana shouted. ”You two are making me lose my mind. If you donʼt stop the bullshit, I will not hold back!”

Rean and Yuan smiled but didnʼt say anything anymore. Finally, Tana was able to talk about what she wanted. ”Alright, speak up already. Was it all your plan? Did you know you would find the blood down there?” Tana looked at Rean, knowing he wasnʼt what he looked like. Rean had made it clear before the contest started when they talked to each other.

Rean shrugged. ”How do you expect me to know something like that? Do you think Iʼm god or some shit like that? The initial plan was for me to help Yuan avoid the Spatial Rifts and tale a Jade before returning as fast as possible.”

Tana narrowed her eyes. ”So the contract truly doesnʼt work on you, uh? Yuan, what about you? Were your words a lie back in the meeting?”

”Yes,” Yuan would never lie to Tana directly. ”Rean, do you mind?”

Rean didnʼt see any problem. ”You trust her, donʼt you?”

”I would die for her right now,” Yuan spoke back, showing his allegiance. Tana found it hard to keep looking straight at him. Yuan had changed way too much since he met Rean... and as much as she hated to admit it, it was for the better. His approach truly touched her deeply. ”Just... stop that already, okay?”

Yuan faintly smiled and then changed into a Spiritual Sense conversation. That way, he was able to tell all the happenings back in the Charybdis Queenʼs Body. ”Finally, when I noticed, I was suddenly back in Fauhi City. I donʼt even know when or how Rean took me out of the Charybdis Queenʼs body.”

Tanaʼs expression was by far the most shocked Yuan had ever seen. ”The REAL Charybdis?! Are you serious?!”

Yuan nodded. ”I said it already. You are the only one I would never lie to. If there is something I canʼt tell, I will just shut up instead.”

Tana tried to calm down, looking in the direction of the Heavenly Marine Tunnel. ”So such a beast exists in our sea... And you two helped set her free. Garfield even used that to give Yuan all the Bloodline Essence of the Spiritual Prison.”

”Ah!” She then remembered something and quickly pulled out a piece of Heavenly Marine Jade. Yet, she didnʼt look at it like a treasure anymore. ”Food bait... Iʼve been relying on food bait to keep my bloodline strength...”

She wanted to throw it away, but Rean stopped her. ”I wouldnʼt do that if I were you. This bait still carries a hint of the Charybdis Bloodline Essence. It is incredibly small, but it is there. Of course, you have Yuan by your side, and his much more concentrated Bloodline will be much better for you. Still, if you want to get rid of it, at least try to sell it to some of the elders and get a few Spirit Stones from it.”

Tana immediately stopped and looked at the Jade in conflict. In the end, she put it back into her Spatial Ring. ”I guess you are right about it.”

Rean then stretched his body, feeling like everything he had to do there was finally over. ”Okay, what I had to do is now done. Yuan now has a good bloodline, and the Saramina Sea Demon Palace will enjoy the benefits for a very long time. I guess it is time for me to leave.”

”Leave?” Tana shook her head. ”I donʼt think you will be allowed to leave the palace for a very long time. Father and the elders would never allow it.”

Rean shrugged. ”Unfortunately for them, it matters not whether they will allow me to leave or not. Yuan, it was good to meet you. I hope you have a happy life with Tana.”

Tana didnʼt expect such an answer. But then, she remembered what Yuan and Rena told her before the competition. ”Garfield, are you going to build another formation? I wouldnʼt do that here. Demon Beasts arenʼt very good at formations, but we still have several of them to prevent unauthorized teleports into this place. It wonʼt work.”

Yuan sighed, knowing that even such a thing probably couldnʼt stop Rean. ”Then I thank you for everything. You have my CD number. If you ever need help, let me know. I might not be able to leave the palace in the near future, but I might be able to help some other way.”

He then changed into a Spiritual Conversation with a somewhat sad expression. ʼAbove all, thank you for helping me conquer Tana.ʼ

ʼYou donʼt seem very happy,ʼ Rean noticed the change.

ʼWell...ʼ Yuan glanced away. ʼI will be her mate, and Iʼm happy for that. Still, you had to trick her into accepting it.ʼ

ʼMe? Tricking her?ʼ Rean asked back, quickly laughing right after. ʼHahaha! You truly underestimate this girl, boy. I did create a trap for Tana to fall, but the girl noticed it from the very start. She is that smart. Itʼs just that she threw herself into that trap of her own choice.ʼ

ʼWhat?!ʼ Yuan found it hard to believe. ʼWhy would she do that?ʼ

Rean looked at Yuan as if he was looking at an idiot. ʼWhy? Isnʼt that simple? She knew it was a trap, but if she didnʼt take it, she would lose a certain someone. I wonder who this someone is...ʼ

Finally, Yuan understood. He looked at Tana, surprise and shock in his eyes. Tana obviously noticed that and looked at him, too. ”W-What?”

Yuanʼs mouth trembled, and he wanted to confirm with Rean... However, when Yuan and Tana looked in the direction Rean was standing a second ago, no one was there. Rean had departed from the Saramina Sea Demon Palace.
