Chapter 586: Heart-Wrenching Pain

The lifeguards did not see the shell, but they understood that she was going there. They nodded and gestured that they would wait for her, but urged her to be quick.
Gu Shen had just reached the surface of the sea when he saw that everyone had come over and Ling Sheng had disappeared. His expression changed suddenly, and his heart jumped in his throat. Without thinking, he plunged into the water.
Ling Sheng had just gotten the purple shell when her arm was suddenly grabbed. The shell nearly slipped out of her hand but was held tightly in her palm before she heaved a sigh of relief.
She had thought that the lifeguards had come to find her, but when she turned around, she saw Gu Shen’s angry face. His narrow eyes were burning with fire. She frowned strangely and struggled to get away from him.
Gu Shen’s face was ashen, and a ball of fire was burning in his heart. Upon seeing her agile figure disappear like a mermaid in the blink of an eye, he punched the seawater angrily.
Didn’t she know how dangerous the water was? She had already been in danger once. Didn’t she know she should be careful? Didn’t she care about her life at all? She didn’t care about herself. Why did he care about her? Why was he angry?
Ling Sheng, who had picked up the purple shell, was overjoyed. However, if she was seen, she would definitely be surrounded. Thus, she hid it quietly.
She remembered reading in a book that purple seashells represented perfect, firm, immovable romantic love. They were the guardian deities of love. Lovers with purple seashells would also possess a beautiful love blessed by God. They would be with the person they loved their whole life, and they would still be able to meet and get to know each other in their next life and never be separated.
She thought excitedly and put it away like a treasure, preparing to give the purple shell to the Third Master.
Gu Shen watched as she ran to the beach chair mysteriously and found her assistant. She put something in her bag and even smiled as she whispered in her assistant’s ear.
He did not know what she had said, but the junior assistant saw something and looked surprised. She opened her bag quietly and took a look.
This was the first time Little Ye had seen a purple shell. Legend had it that the prince had signed a contract with a witch to find the perfect love. Therefore, the witch had given him a purple shell and told him that the owner of the other purple shell was his perfect lover.
Along the way, many greedy girls had come to find the prince with fake purple shells.
The prince knew that once the owners of the two pieces combined the real purple shells, they would form a beautiful heart shape.
One day, a female beggar in a dirty dress knocked on the prince’s door and vowed that she was his destined lover.
The prince took the purple shell from the female beggar’s hand and pieced it together carefully. The purple shell turned into a complete heart and emitted a dazzling light. The dirt on the female beggar was removed bit by bit, and she became a beautiful princess.
Then, they lived happily together until they were old and never separated.
“Sister Sheng Sheng, do you think it’s true?” Xiao Ye took another look in secret. Sister Sheng Sheng, who was afraid of being seen by others, had hidden. She reminded her, “There are many people selling dyed shells here. There are also many wind chimes made of purple shells in the small shop under our hotel!”
Ling Sheng was very sure, as the shell was really smooth and emitted a natural, beautiful luster. There was also no dye sediment. It was definitely natural. She had been lucky to pick it up. “How could that be? It’s definitely a real purple shell, not a dyed one.”
Xiao Ye believed her words the most. She believed everything she said and was her die-hard fan. She thus nodded vigorously. “It must be natural.”
It was already noon, and this was the last scene of the morning.
When Ling Sheng came out of the sea, her body was sticky. She went to the bathroom to shower. Everyone had just gotten off work, so there were quite a lot of people.
When Ling Sheng rushed out, she realized that her slippers had disappeared. She thought that there were a lot of people and she might have been kicked out. Coincidentally, there was a pair of spare slippers that could be used by anyone in front of her. They were new and had just been bought by the film crew. She did not think much of it and put them on immediately.
As soon as she reached out, she felt a sharp pain in her soles.
