6: Jaws seeking revenge on the male and female protagonists

The Original Owner, "Dabai," was one of fewer than two hundred great white sharks remaining in the deep sea of this urban novel world.

In this world, great white sharks had long been listed as first-class protected marine animals by global animal protection organizations.

The male protagonist, Ling Yang, who had achieved Rebirth from the Immortal Realm, had a damaged water-attribute Spiritual Root. To restore his strength, he actually set his sights on the great white sharks, intending to use these protected animals as Alchemy Materials.

Subsequently, he took the daughter of the world's richest man—the female protagonist, Bai Qiu—along with a host of concubines, and boarded the Bai family's luxury cruise ship to intrude into the deep sea, where a genocidal slaughter was about to begin.

During this, one of his concubines, Liu Qingqing, accidentally fell into the sea. Ling Yang immediately erupted with immortal essence and charged into the sea, tearing open the abdomen of a great white shark with his bare hands to save her in front of everyone.

Splattered blood soaked his white shirt, and the concubines screamed as they rushed forward to wipe it off, praising him profusely as "like a god descending to earth."

Dabai hid behind the coral reefs, watching helplessly as his kin had their caudal fins twisted off and their skulls smashed by Ling Yang, then tossed onto the luxury ship like discarded trash.

The female protagonist, Bai Qiu, wearing a custom swimsuit printed with the slogan "Protect the Ocean," held a camera to film Ling Yang's "heroic posture" while grabbing freshly grilled shark meat to feast upon. Grease from the corners of her mouth smeared onto her expensive diamond necklace, and she even complained that the fin stew wasn't flavorful enough.

Dabai tried his best to escape, but was grabbed by Ling Yang from a distance. He was then skinned alive, and his bones and flesh were thrown onto the grill.

A week later, great white sharks were completely extinct globally.

Ling Yang sat on the top deck of the luxury cruise ship, holding Bai Qiu, and fed the last piece of shark meat into her mouth, saying nonchalantly: "They're just some low-class fish. If they're extinct, they're extinct. If they're gone, we'll just find something else to replenish."

His concubines gathered around the dining table, raising glasses in celebration. No one paid attention to the layers of shark bones floating on the sea surface, and even fewer remembered that not long ago, Bai Qiu had been crying at a charity gala, calling for everyone to "Protect the Ocean."

This group of people ate the flesh and blood of a genocide, yet treated the bloodshed as romance and sin as affection, feeding the last shred of their humanity to their desires.

The plot screen suddenly extinguished, and the mechanical voice of the System pierced his consciousness: [Current World Mission: Complete the last wish of the Original Owner "Dabai," and devour Ling Yang and the others entirely.] [Current Mission Golden Finger: None.]

"To think I'm playing a great white shark. Interesting."

"Let's begin."

...

Just as he opened his eyes, Qin Jiuge found himself in the cold seawater, the bloody scent of his kin washing over him along with the currents.

This was the exact moment the Original Owner "Dabai" had watched his last few siblings being gutted and tossed onto the luxury ship by Ling Yang, while he was hiding behind a reef, yet to be discovered.

The shark body, a zhang long, beneath him was still trembling with grief and indignation, but dark purple demonic light surged in the depths of Qin Jiuge's eyes.

So what if there's no Golden Finger provided by the System? He was a Universe-level Devil King who had crushed millions of nebulae!

His Divine Soul, containing the power of destruction, frantically strengthened the shark body. The broken pectoral fins regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the zhang-long body suddenly surged to thirty meters. His shark skin hardened like meteorite iron, the blade-like teeth shimmered with a demonic glow capable of shredding seawater, and even the surrounding ocean currents were stirred into whirlpools by the murderous intent radiating from him.

This was no protected animal waiting to be slaughtered; this was clearly a deep-sea Asura crawling back from purgatory to claim lives!

Qin Jiuge flicked his caudal fin, heading straight for the luxury yacht of Ling Yang and his group.

On the deck, Bai Qiu was using a diamond-encrusted silver fork to poke a piece of fragrant grilled shark meat, giggling as she fed it to Ling Yang: "Ah Yang, the meat from these ones today is the most tender, even fresher than what we ate the past few days~"

Behind her, Liu Qingqing and other concubines gathered around the grill, laughing and joking, eating while taking photos with their phones to post on social media. No one noticed the terrifying vibration coming from the bottom of the ship.

After all, in their eyes, the last few great white sharks were almost finished, and any remaining ones were just fish that had slipped through the net, incapable of making any waves.

"Boom!" Qin Jiuge smashed his head directly into the bottom of the yacht. The titanium alloy hull buckled and shattered like paper, and seawater flooded into the cabin frantically.

Ling Yang's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to condense his spiritual Qi, a shadow blotting out the sky leaped from the sea.

A thirty-meter-long giant shark, carrying monstrous murderous intent, locked its dark purple eyes onto him.

With a sweep of its caudal fin, three of Ling Yang's concubines were swatted away on the spot, bitten into bloody mist by sharp shark teeth while still in mid-air, with bits of flesh splattering all over the female protagonist, Bai Qiu's face!

"No! Lingling, Lanlan, Cuicui... Aaaaaah, what the hell is this thing!"

Ling Yang was shocked, furious, and filled with grief and indignation. His three beloved women had just died like that!

He angrily unleashed a blade of water, but it was deflected directly by Qin Jiuge's shark skin, not even leaving a white mark.

Ling Yang was greatly alarmed: "How can such a Vicious Beast exist in this low-martial world!"

Just as he wanted to grab Bai Qiu and jump into the sea to escape, Qin Jiuge suddenly opened his bloody maw, condensing pitch-black flames of destruction within, burning half the cruise ship along with Ling Yang's other concubines into ashes. Only Ling Yang, Bai Qiu, and Liu Qingqing remained, clinging to the wreckage of the deck and trembling.

Watching his women all perish, Ling Yang's eyes were bloodshot: "No! My beloveds!"

Pain! It hurts too much!

Bai Qiu stared at the familiar silhouette of the giant shark, suddenly terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering: "It's... it's the one hiding behind the reef that day! How did it get so big!"

"Remembered?" Qin Jiuge's voice came through the seawater, laced with ice-cold mockery. "You've eaten so many of my siblings, now it's my turn to eat you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jiuge flicked his caudal fin, sweeping Liu Qingqing, who was trying to swim away, to his mouth. He opened his massive jaws and swallowed her, lifebuoy and all. The sound of chewing mixed with the crisp crunch of breaking bones made Bai Qiu lose control of her bladder on the spot.

Ling Yang struggled to gather all his spiritual Qi, unleashing his strongest attack, but it was easily blocked by Qin Jiuge's fin.

The giant shark moved in front of him, its teeth almost touching his face: "Didn't you like tearing sharks apart with your bare hands? Today, it's my turn to tear you apart!"

As he spoke, the giant fin came down heavily, tearing off Ling Yang's right arm.

Blood splattered onto Bai Qiu's face, and her vision went black as she fainted from fright on the spot.

Qin Jiuge wasn't about to let her die easily. He swept her to his mouth with his caudal fin and first bit off her wrists, which were always adorned with expensive bracelets. These were the very hands that, not long ago, had held a "Protect the Ocean" sign at a charity gala, yet were now stained with the blood of sharks!

Bai Qiu screamed as she was jolted awake by the pain. Qin Jiuge stuffed her entire body into his mouth, chewing up and swallowing her diamond necklace and haute couture dress along with her. Only the diamond-encrusted silver fork slipped from the shark's mouth and sank into the deep sea.

"Damn it, it reeks of urine!"

Finally, only Ling Yang remained, slumped on the wreckage of the cruise ship. Looking at the giant shark before him, which resembled a demon god, he finally revealed immense terror: "Who the hell are you?! I am an Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm!"

"Immortal Emperor?" Qin Jiuge sneered. His massive jaws slammed down, swallowing the man and the wreckage in one bite, not even leaving a single bone fragment behind.

The sea surface gradually returned to calm, with only the shattered wreckage of the yacht floating about. Qin Jiuge flicked his caudal fin, his thirty-meter-long body gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Ling Yang and his group, who had once viewed great white sharks as supplements for Cultivate and slaughtered them wantonly, had ultimately become food in the mouth of a great white shark.
