Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 946: Eve

Deep beneath the sea.Xindra dragged its broken body, fleeing madly.

That sword scar extended from its back all the way to its tail, flesh torn and curled back, deep enough to see bone.

Dark black blood spilled along its path.

That blood seemed to contain some kind of scent that was incredibly alluring to sea beasts, causing countless sea creatures to stir with desire, yet not a single one dared to truly approach.

Even gravely wounded, it was still Xindra, the most terrifying legend of this sea region.

It burrowed into a deep, dark sea trench, found a hidden cave, and finally stopped.

Hiss—

Xindra let out a low, hissing cry, its densely packed eyes filled with pain.

That human just now was so terrifying…

It only possessed simple intelligence and vague memories.

But even with its mind a chaotic mess.

It had a clear understanding—in all the countless years past, it had never been as close to death as it was today.

That ball of fire.

That Sword Qi.

And that strange man…

Xindra's tentacles trembled slightly.

It didn't dare to think about it.

Nor did it dare to go back.

But it needed to recover.

Outside the cave, a group of sea beasts cautiously approached, drawn by the scent of blood.

One of Xindra's tentacles suddenly shot out, coiled around a giant whale, and dragged it into the cave.

Crunch, crunch—

The sound of chewing echoed through the deep sea.

One.

Two.

Ten.

Xindra frantically hunted and killed every living creature around it, swallowing them into its belly. Its broken body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the sword scar on its back remained, and the lingering Sword Qi still prevented the wound from completely closing—

It could move again.

Xindra opened its densely packed eyes, their eerie green light flickering in the deep sea.

It wanted to leave.

To leave this sea region, to leave that human, to hide far, far away, and never return.

But just as it prepared to dive into deeper sea abysses—

Through the murky seawater, it saw a few small shadows.

On the sea surface.

Several small wooden rafts.

On the rafts, those people were desperately paddling, fleeing towards the faintly visible coastline in the distance.

Xindra froze for a moment.

Then—

It recognized them.

It was those people.

The people from that ship.

The companions of that white-clothed man and that sword-wielding girl.

In Xindra's pupils, rage and madness surged simultaneously.

It couldn't forget that ball of fire.

Couldn't forget that Sword Qi.

Couldn't forget the terror of nearly being completely erased.

It didn't dare to go back and find those two.

But these…

These weaklings…

Boom—!

The sea surface exploded!

The Battle Masters on the few small wooden rafts were paddling desperately, relieved to have escaped that great battle.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Faster!"

"That monster must be held back by that woman, we have to take this chance to run!"

"Haha, what's the use of that woman being so strong? She's just paving the way for us, isn't she?"

"Serves her right! Who told her to let that Sea Emperor Clan person go?

If you ask me, it'd be better if she died, one less competitor…"

Before the words finished.

A tentacle shot up from the seabed, piercing towards the sky!

Wham—!

The person who spoke didn't even have time to scream, his entire body along with the raft was smashed into a bloody mist.

"Wh…what?!"

"It's Xindra! It's that monster!"

"No! Why is it here! Shouldn't it be fighting that girl?!"

The crowd screamed in terror, frantically paddling the rafts, trying to escape.

But it was too late.

One tentacle after another reached out from the deep sea, like scythes harvesting wheat, tearing raft after raft, people and boats alike, into pieces.

"No! Don't kill me! Spare me…"

"I beg you, let me go! If you want revenge, go find that woman!"

"Ah—!"

Pitiful, shrill screams echoed across the sea surface, only to be swallowed by the roaring of the tentacles.

In just a few breaths.

Several small wooden rafts, over twenty Battle Masters, all perished.

Blood dyed the sea red.

Broken limbs and shattered wood floated upon it.

Xindra surfaced half its head, its densely packed eyes fixed on these corpses, the eerie green light within them full of cold satisfaction.

But this satisfaction lasted only an instant.

It suddenly remembered that Sword Qi.

Remembered that ball of fire.

Remembered that white-clothed man.

Fear surged in its heart once more.

Xindra abruptly sank into the deep sea, fleeing headlong into the distance without looking back.

Soon, it disappeared into the endless sea abyss.

The sea surface returned to calm.

Leaving behind only a messy expanse of blood-red, and one floating, mangled corpse after another.

…

"Uh, young lady… so you really have such a powerful husband."

The woman with an elf-like appearance lowered her eyelashes, not daring to meet Chen Huaian's gaze.

The killing intent and suspicion in those eyes were too direct.

And she was indeed feeling guilty, so she awkwardly changed the subject.

"Of course!" Li Qingran clung to Chen Huaian's arm, practically wanting to hang off him, squinting and smiling like a little cat that stole a fish:

"Did sister think I was just talking nonsense?"

The woman's mouth twitched slightly, awkwardly shifting her gaze away, muttering softly: "I thought you were missing your deceased husband…"

"What?"

Li Qingran didn't catch it clearly for a moment, widening her eyes.

"Ah… nothing, nothing."

The woman hurriedly waved her hands, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.

Li Qingran gave her a suspicious look but didn't press further.

She shook Chen Huaian's arm, then looked at the woman again, saying with a giggle: "Sister, we've been through hardships together, right?

From the sea beast siege to that big monster, we all pulled through together!"

She blinked: "I still don't know sister's name?"

The woman fell silent for a while.

The sea breeze gently blew, lifting the stray hairs by her ears, revealing those pointed tips.

She raised her eyes, glanced at Chen Huaian.

The killing intent in that gaze had receded, but suspicion remained.

Yet he didn't make a move.

Nor did he question her.

The woman felt a slight relief in her heart.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Li Qingran, and softly spoke: "Just call me Eve."

"Oh~ Sister Eve, the name sounds quite elegant~"

Li Qingran nodded thoughtfully.

That's how human names were in this world.

Depending on the empire, name styles varied wildly; there were also ancient-style names similar to those in the Cangyun Realm, like Tang Er.

It's just that she didn't know if it was an illusion.

When she uttered the two words "Eve."

The sea waves and wind seemed to calm somewhat, the originally tense, murderous atmosphere after the battle gained a bit more vitality, and the killing intent brought by Xindra's appearance also dissipated.

Li Qingran didn't know that the names of the deities in this world inherently carried divinity.

Especially when a deity's name was called in a place where they had used divine power, the power of divinity would manifest even more clearly.

But Chen Huaian knew.

The rich life energy surrounding them all originated from this woman.

This woman called Eve was likely a deity.

But, why did she save the sea monster?

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, casually pulling a ship from his player inventory and tossing it onto the sea surface.

"This raft is too small, uncomfortable to sit on."

He said calmly: "Since we're all going to the Sea God Temple anyway, let's all get on the ship to talk."
