At first, Fei'erlie only wanted to bring back his rebellious "older brother," who had run away from home.

Even though he was going through the most crucial and painful period before adulthood, he defied his parents, won the negotiations, and successfully left the city to catch that runaway fish.

He was determined to find out which little temptress had bewitched Grande's heart, making him sever ties and leave Baiyun City just so he could elope with his "lover."

As an incubus who was over a hundred years old and still not an adult, Fei'erlie was too delicate to lift a finger, frail and powerless, yet undeniably beautiful. Add in his noble status, and it was easy for him to win the affection of his teammates and the audience.

During one perilous exploration mission after another, he used his intelligence to turn the tide, single-handedly overturning everyone's old prejudices about incubi being incompetent, useless, lowly, and promiscuous. He won himself a legion of fans and left them utterly smitten.

Fei'erlie didn't care about any of that.

He only cared whether he could catch that foolish fish, Grande.

It wasn't until Grande confessed his true feelings in front of a dungeon boss and said he loved him that Fei'erlie realized the fabled "little temptress" was actually him!

After a painful struggle, Grande chose to sever ties with them, but he couldn't let go of his love for Fei'erlie.

Fei'erlie was stunned. Fei'erlie was overjoyed. Fei'erlie immediately sealed the deal with a deep kiss.

One day, netizens who had dubbed Fei'erlie a refreshingly wholesome incubus of the new century suddenly noticed suspicious red marks on his fair, tender neck.

The haters rejoiced and launched into vicious attacks.

Haters: "Heh, you acted so pure and innocent all this time, but now the truth's out, huh? An incubus is an incubus. Who knows how wild he gets in private!"

Faced with a mountain of irrefutable evidence, Fei'erlie's reputation took a nosedive.

While the internet was buzzing with gossip, Fei'erlie was lounging against Grande's chest, casually scrolling through the Star Network.

He poked Grande with a grin. "Grande, you'll take responsibility for me, right?"

The mermaid, who had been thoroughly bullied, blushed and good-naturedly nodded. He quietly relaxed his muscles and raised his body temperature, making himself comfortable for his little lover to lean against.

@Fei'erlie: "My dearest Grande, I will defy my nature, go against my instincts, and love you forever. Please treasure my heart."

@Grande: "I will."

[The following is a more detailed, perhaps unnecessarily wordy plot version]

Exploring the Uncharted Lands is a livestream program jointly produced by Baiyun City and Sita City.

Over the past century, uncharted lands have appeared throughout the Cassili Continent. The authorities formed exploration teams to investigate their secrets, only for the very first mission to uncover a world-shaking secret!

The Abyss has descended. The threat of the world's destruction forces every race on the Cassili Continent to unite and solve the problem of survival together.

Lake Kersey, the Fudezi Valley, Jialesi City, the Gredi Prefecture, Angnie City, and the Far Northern Icefields: when each region is shattered, it produces an Abyss Crystal.

Once all seven Abyss Crystals are gathered, heaven and earth undergo a tremendous change.

The will of the world descends, repairs the breach, and completely resolves the threat of the world's destruction.
