If he remembered correctly, this should be the shard where the nightmare creature, who had been scared shitless by both Jin Jiuchi and Noir, resided right?

The subtle action went unnoticed by Gu Luoxin, and in his eyes, the two of them were exchanging a sorrowful glance, just like the main protagonists in the novel 'Wuthering Heights' where Catherine chose to marry another man instead due to the influence of social class differences. But in Jin Jiuchi and Shen Nianzu's case, it was clearly a whole clan of merfolk and the vicious Cycle that forced them to separate!
