Chapter 37: We Are Creatures Dwelling in the Abyss

Lin Lin took back her harsh words about Felix.

She had quietly held a grudge for a long time because the Dark Elf had carried her on his shoulder like a sack.

Now, Lin Lin had a new enemy, the inventor of the magic circle.

Like the two strong killer whales that were transported from the Demon King Castle’s magic circle to the other side, Lin Lin was the only one left, holding her suitcase and gagging.

Also, her head hurt a lot, feeling like her body had arrived but her mind hadn’t caught up.

As Lin Lin bent over and gagged, the little storage card on her shoulder let out a small "wah!" and tumbled down due to her shoulder being unsteady.

Luckily, the little king had his Little Devil wings, and he fluttered in the air, looking worriedly at Lin Lin and offering her a handkerchief.

Lin Lin looked at the tiny handkerchief, which was the size of her fingernail, and politely refused.

I see your good intentions, and I appreciate it, but you really aren’t much help.

Although compared to others, the king’s actions were quite touching.

In sharp contrast to the king, sat Allen in front of Lin Lin, resting his chin on his hand and staring at her, who was holding a box and gagging.

After Lin Lin calmed down a lot, Allen showed a hint of regret; he must have really wanted to see Lin Lin’s excitement.

If she weren’t so weak, Lin Lin really would have wanted to kick him right away.

In the dark basement, the air was thick with moisture, and next to them was a large transparent water tank, more than a person’s height, lazily floating two strips of seaweed.

It felt like trying to mimic a professional’s aquarium setup and failing right at the first step.

"Where is this…?" Lin Lin asked.

"This is one of our resting spots," Allen replied.

Allen kicked a nearby wooden box, revealing a few pieces of clothing carelessly thrown inside, which looked like they had been piled there for some time.

Lin Lin finally understood why these two, despite being subordinates of the Demon King, lived such a hard life.

The two orca brothers have no sense of "home"; they do not have a fixed place to live, nor do they have the habit of saving wealth. They are true nomads.

Therefore, their clothes include both very expensive and quite cheap items, and their spending completely depends on how much money they have.

Even though he has become a land Orc, the wandering nature rooted in the orca’s heart has not changed.

"Every time I come through the teleportation circle, I’m all sweaty," Allen said, realizing he couldn’t find any fun with Lin Lin, and started taking off his shirt after kicking the box.

Allen’s movements were smooth and quick; before Lin Lin could stop him, she saw his cold, pale, and smooth back.

The orca brothers all have a cool and firm build, slightly thin with not much visible muscle, and their skin is delicately smooth to the eye.

Allen impatiently unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt; before they were fully undone, he pushed the shirt off his head with his arms, and from Lin Lin’s angle, she could see the sudden tension in the lines of his back muscles.

He was the type with explosive strength rather than endurance, which matched Lin Lin’s stereotype of orcas.

Someone blocked the view.

Lin Lin looked up and saw Arthur standing in front of her, his deep-colored eyes beneath thin eyelids looking at her with a slight coolness.

It was a bit awkward; even though she wasn’t really thinking about it, it felt strange to be caught staring at someone else’s brother by her own brother.

"Um," Lin Lin wanted to bring up something related to work to show her dedication, "Is our task these days to catch fish?"

Quite bad, Lin Lin temporarily forgot that Arthur couldn’t speak.

So when Lin Lin looked up at Arthur to ask her question, it was Allen, standing behind Arthur, who answered, and she felt a slight embarrassment.

The busy brother, changing his clothes and facing away from Lin Lin and Arthur, who completely didn’t know what was happening, answered energetically, "How could that be? There haven’t been any fish in the sea we usually stay in for a while."

Big problem! This is a serious problem!

They’ve lost the chance for seafood trade right from the start!

"What we need to do now," noticing that he couldn’t fit into any of the clothes in the box, Allen simply gave up on wearing a shirt, "is to take over the sea area and seafood market of the city where the business is the best."

What a rough and poor-quality plan, but as long as there is strength, it can be forced through.

Lin Lin thought carefully; after all, they are the villains.

"It’s not impossible."

–

"Name?"

"Lin Lin."

"Race?"

"Half human."

"What are you doing here in Padre Port?" said a man with a thick beard, standing at the door and speaking in somewhat broken common language. It seemed that the people of the port city had their own local language.

Why are they so strict? It’s just entering a city. Even the Demon King Castle doesn’t question this much, right?

Lin Lin, who had a platinum-colored hair and was a mixed-blood human, stood with her arms crossed.

Just as Lin Lin was about to come up with some excuse, she saw a commotion on the other side of the line at the city gate.

A young boy was pushed out from the front. The crowd in line stepped back, clearing a space for him.

The boy stumbled from the push, suddenly tensing his body and half-kneeling on the ground.

Lin Lin frowned slightly, thinking that the guards were really going too far.

Then, she suddenly heard a cold laugh that grew stronger. The laughter was very rhythmic, like a crazy villain from a TV show.

"Ha, there’s really no way to make foolish ordinary people understand my great cause." The boy, still in his kneeling position, covered his left eye, "How sad it is, this cruel world."

Lin Lin: … Um.

She originally planned to help the child who was pushed down, but now her feelings have suddenly become a bit complicated.

Unlike the boy’s lively and emotional shout, the guard’s voice was very calm, "Sorry, the reason ‘I want to enter Padre Port because of the prophecy that the Demon King will come to this city’ is not accepted. Please change it to a more realistic reason."

Lin Lin turned her head and looked at the king sitting on her shoulder.

The king was also enjoying the scene. After noticing Lin Lin’s gaze, he tilted his head slightly, his fluffy curls shaking, and showed a puzzled expression.

Lin Lin quietly tucked the king further into her hair.

"So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is," the boy with short brown hair looked up with a determined gaze, "My reason for entering the port is ‘to kill the Demon King’!"

The boy had been in this half-kneeling position for five minutes, and Lin Lin felt a bit sorry for his knees.

After the boy loudly stated his new reason, the girl who had been waiting in line with him, hiding her face with a magic wand out of embarrassment, started apologizing to the crowd while walking towards him.

The boy looked up, "Sharon! We both know you wouldn’t abandon me…"

Before the boy could finish speaking, a girl named Sharon had already hit him on the back of the head with her magic wand, knocking him out. Sharon pulled the boy’s limp body and apologized all the way back to her original spot in line.

"I’m sorry," Sharon said to the guard, "We are mercenaries, here to see if there are any tasks we can take."

The guard allowed the two to pass.

With the commotion over, people returned to standing in line.

The bearded man, who recorded the information of Lin Lin and her group, glanced at the two flashy young men standing behind Lin Lin and sighed, worrying about the fashion sense of today’s youth.

Yes, the flashy orcas.

Since there were no suitable clothes at the resting point, Lin Lin offered her boyfriend’s flowery shirt from her suitcase.

She had bought it in the largest size for comfort, and it fit the two orcas perfectly.

Arthur wore a black and gold floral shirt, while Allen wore a black and red floral shirt, matching their street-smart vibe, as if they would pull out a cigarette and block someone’s way for a toll fee at any moment.

The man with the big beard frowned at the two people, "What are you here for?"

Allen was inspired by the young man from before. He brushed the hair away from his forehead, revealing his handsome face, "We are huge monsters living in the abyss, the claws of the dark god."

Lin Lin, with a blank expression, punched Allen in the stomach to make him quiet.

Lin Lin pointed at Allen, "The one who catches fish."

Lin Lin pointed at Arthur, "The one who kills fish."

Lin Lin pointed at herself, "The one who sells fish."

It must be said that Lin Lin had a face that looked very honest and trustworthy. Anyone who doubted her would feel regret in the middle of the night after seeing her pure and sincere face, thinking that it was truly wrong to bully someone so honest.

The big-bearded man shook his beard and said, "Alright, little girl, the fish market has not been doing well lately. I hope the sea god blesses you."

Lin Lin thought to herself, when we arrive, you will have even less business.

"Oh right," the man with the big mustache pointed to the ruler sitting on Lin Lin’s shoulder, "make sure you keep your keychain safe, or it might easily fall to the ground."

Lin Lin turned her head and saw her keychain holding a tiny teacup and drinking tea.

You really enjoy your afternoon tea!
