Yu Zhao reassured Bo Chi with her actions. After knowing that she didn't have to worry about the child, they soaked in the pool and spent several days together. Finally, Bo Chi couldn't hold on any longer. She was a mermaid, but she tried to climb to the shore.

The dark blue sky is dotted with stars, and their light falls on the girl's fishtail, making the azure scales sparkle and sparkle with a stunning and mesmerizing beauty.

Yu Zhao quickly caught the escaping mermaid and pulled her back into his arms, coaxing her softly, "Don't run, this is the last time."

Bo Chi floated up and down in the water for a long time before he managed to say: "You said the same thing yesterday!"

The rippling pool water conceals the spring scenery.

This time Yu Zhao didn't lie to her.

When the sky was about to brighten and the waves were gradually subsiding, Yu Zhao carried the exhausted Bo Chi to the bed, tucked the quilt in for her, and went to the balcony.

The sky not far away was already turning pale, and the old lady Shen You had also gotten up and was diligently making breakfast.

When he received Yu Zhao's video application, he was quite surprised. After answering the call, he smiled and said, "Marshal, why are you up so early? Are you going to control the mecha?"

He had worked under Yu Zhao for many years and was familiar with some basic information about Yu Zhao. He chatted with him like he was chatting with his family, "We are not like in the past few years. We can't survive without fighting the Zerg. We have finally defeated those big Zergs. You should stop being ready for battle all the time. Controlling mechas will damage your mental strength. With your reckless training rhythm, how many years can you live?"

Yu Zhao knew his good intentions, so he didn't argue and said casually, "I didn't get up early to exercise. I just had sex with Chi Chi and haven't slept yet."

Shen You was caught off guard by the dog food, and his mouth twitched. He couldn't help but said, "You are so unrestrained, aren't you afraid that the little mermaid will get pregnant with seven or eight children? Let me remind you first, mermaids are suitable for childbirth, but if they give birth to too many at once, not only will it be dangerous during childbirth, but the little mermaid's mood will also be depressed. If she is unhappy for a long time, the life span of the mermaid will be greatly shortened. If you like Miss Chi Chi, you have to be careful."

Shen You spoke in detail because he was worried about these issues and gradually turned supporting his wife into raising a daughter.

They were all adults, and his partner was his childhood sweetheart with whom he loved each other and had already confessed his love. Didn't he want to be like Yu Zhao, always entangled with his own little mermaid?

But he didn't dare! Pregnancy is no small matter!

Whenever Shen You thought about how miserable he was while his boss was living a carefree life, he couldn't help feeling envious and jealous, and he even emphasized the dangers of having a child.

Yu Zhao listened calmly, her eyes fixed on the gorgeous morning glow and the rising red sun. The coffee in her hand was emitting curling white mist, and the rich bitter taste bloomed and spread on the tip of her tongue, making her suddenly want to kiss the thin wings.

There was no reason for this sudden thought.

Maybe Bo Chi has been liking sweets lately, and she also wants to try it.

Or perhaps the thin-winged lips and tongue are enough to dilute all the bitterness.

In short, during this time of solitude, she was still thinking about Bo Chi.

"Hello? Marshal? Yu Zhao?" Shen You, who was ignored, cut the vegetables with more force, and the fish meat turned into mud: "Did you not hear what I said at all?"

Yu Zhao withdrew his gaze from the distance as if nothing had happened, took a sip of the bitter coffee, and said lightly: "I have already done the contraceptive operation, and I can guarantee that when I am close to Chi Chi, I will not have any thoughts about the child, so you can rest assured that I can have fun every night without worrying about getting pregnant one day."

Shen You was stunned, and he was completely dumbfounded: "Contraceptive surgery? We have this kind of surgery in our capital? Did you go to the hospital before just to do this? No... You don't even have a child, why do you want to avoid pregnancy!"

Yu Zhao didn't tell him that it was because Bo Chi was afraid, but said leisurely: "The child affects my intimacy with Chi Chi, and I don't want to be a widow like you."

Shen You: “???”

Is this how the word is used?

He gradually showed a sour expression, but Yu Zhao pretended not to notice and said leisurely, "Since there are no children in the way, I plan to take Chi Chi out to play today."

She said it lightly and jokingly, but Shen You knew the seriousness of this journey. He immediately put everything else behind him and said seriously: "Be careful on your way!"

Yu Zhao nodded: "I will go talk to His Majesty, and leave the Imperial Capital to you. If the Zerg come back, remember to contact me in time."

Although the people of the imperial capital were very dissatisfied with Yu Zhao, Yu Zhao still talked to Shen You about many related matters before leaving. After making sure Shen You had listened, she placed the coffee cup on the table beside her and said casually, "That's all you need to pay attention to. What breakfast are you making for Zhao Dai?"

Yu Zhao had no interest in his preferences. He hummed and asked a few questions about the menu before ending the call and walking down the balcony.

When Bo Chi woke up, he saw breakfast ready on the dining table outside.

The delicious smell of fish filled the room. A robot beside her was holding a bowl and chopsticks. She took the chopsticks and picked up the golden fried sturgeon fillet. After tasting it, her eyes lit up and she praised it generously, "It's crispy and delicious!"

Yu Zhao smiled slightly, pulled out a chair for her to sit down and eat.

Seeing that the little mermaid was eating happily, Yu Zhao carefully told her about going out.

Bo Chi did not reject it and said with a smile: "Since you think there is no danger, then go ahead. Besides, mermaids can calm the human spirit, and humans will only fall into mental crisis on the battlefield. This shows that the most suitable place for mermaids and where they can fully display their abilities is the battlefield."

She obviously understands the responsibility she has and accepts it well.

Seeing this, Yu Zhao gradually put aside his worries and served her a bowl of shrimp porridge with a smile.

Bo Chi was responsible for eating and drinking, while Yu Zhao took care of all the travel matters.

That afternoon, they set off in a hover car, and transferred to an interstellar spaceship, which was an eye-opener for the country bumpkin Bo Chi.

Through the transparent glass, the vastness of the universe seemed to be revealed before Bo Yi's eyes as if a veil had been lifted. In the dark galaxy, the planets were like chess pieces on a chessboard, dotted with light, and their spaceships were as tiny as ants, having strayed into this silent and shocking chess game of heaven and earth.

The universe is silent, quiet and eternal.

The people in the spaceship were able to talk. At this moment, they were gathered in twos and threes, some chatting and laughing, and some, like Bo Chi, staring at the beautiful scenery outside, unable to recover.

"Look there." Yu Zhao stood beside Bo Chi and pointed to the planet that the spacecraft had just passed by. After Bo Chi saw it clearly, he softly told her about the interesting things on this planet.

Unlike the little mermaid who had never traveled far, Yu Zhao had fought everywhere in her early years and had long been tired of this dark and silent universe. She was even annoyed by it because the sticky darkness always reminded her of the dense Zerg that once hid here.

The Zerg are the natural enemies of humans. They are inherently aggressive, and unlike humans that have been irradiated, they have S-level reproduction capabilities, and can transform from insect eggs into overwhelming swarms of insects in the blink of an eye.

When the battle with the Zerg was the most intense, every time Yu Zhao returned to his room at night and lifted the quilt, he would feel that bugs would run out.

After repelling the Zerg, two-thirds of the surviving soldiers suffered from Zerg phobia, and Yu Zhao's condition was even more serious. The reason why she stayed in the Imperial City and did not go out was because she could not suppress the stress response when she saw this dead black universe.

She once thought that she would be trapped in the imperial capital forever, like an old general who could still hold a weapon but could no longer fight on the battlefield.

Until the delicate and soft little mermaid fell into her arms.

Her dry and desolate world suddenly welcomed spring.

After realizing that the little mermaid's singing healed her spiritual realm, Yu Zhaodi entered the holographic world for the first time and faced the universe again.

The effect was neither good nor bad; she still hated the darkness, but she no longer seemed to feel suffocated.

If possible, Yu Zhao actually wanted to wait a little longer, until her mental state was completely stable, and then take Bo Chi to travel to various planets.

Unfortunately, Bo Chi's singing was revealed too quickly, so she had to come out with him in advance.

Fortunately, the imagined predicament did not happen. Yu Zhao neither went crazy nor became furious. Instead, with the company of the people around him, he felt like a new life and began to observe the world in a new way.

Yu Zhao was explaining to Bo Chi. She had a rich reserve of knowledge and could speak a few words about any planet. Those around her who were also going out for the first time were involuntarily attracted by her words and gradually gathered around them.

When Yu Zhao finished talking about the last planet, they were amazed and applauded him, praising him: "Amazing! Even more detailed than what my teacher said!"

"Are you in the tourism industry? You look like a professional!"

"You know so much, you must really like the universe, right?"

Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the vast outer space.

Her eyes fell on Xingyun, and she thought a lot in an instant, but it seemed like she didn't think of anything. Finally, she retracted her gaze and whispered to Bo Chi, who was lying on the glass with his head raised: "Do you know? My parents are also officers."

Bo Chi was stunned, turned around to look at her, and said cautiously: "I know, you also told me that they have already..."

"Yes, they are dead." Yu Zhao knew what Bo Chi was worried about. He ruffled her dark blue hair and said with a curved lip, "I am not sentimental because of the scene. I just suddenly remembered that when I first learned that they died in the universe, I naively thought that they had turned into stars in the sea of ​​stars."

"At that time, I was thinking... when I grow up, I will bring the person I love here, so that my parents who are standing guard in the sky can have a good look at her." She took Bo Chi's hand, and her mind flashed through the frequent battles over the years, and finally fixed on the tender face of her childhood, and murmured: "Do you see it now?"

Bo Chi stood quietly beside her, holding her tightly with his fingers.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, but they seemed to be isolated from the people around them, wandering alone in a world that belonged only to each other.

When the spaceship came to a steady stop on the planet, Yu Zhao, who had fulfilled his wish, relaxed his brows, as if he had unloaded the haze that weighed on his heart, and strode out with his thin wings.

Bo Chi was still immersed in the pity of "The wives in this world are so pitiful" when he was taken off the spaceship without any preparation and entered the third line of defense between the Empire and the Zerg - Oss.

Osstar has a strict censorship system. As soon as they approached, someone came over with a serious look to check their identities. There was naturally no problem with Yu Zhao's identity. When the army learned that Commander A1 was coming in person, it caused a stir and many people wanted to come over and salute Yu Zhao.

Compared with the peaceful and prosperous life in the imperial capital, people on the battlefield obviously know better what the two words "Yu Zhao" represent, and how much enemy blood has been stained on the serial number A1.

However, Yu Zhao didn't like to make a scene, so he rejected his adjutant's request for courage and went straight to the legion base with Bo Chi.

The bases in each jurisdiction are core bases, and no one above the rank of military commander can enter privately. Yu Zhao has no problem entering, but seeing Bo Chi following him, the adjutant opened his mouth and stopped him, saying, "Commander, she—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his brain sounded a hurried voice, and the mechanical intelligent voice reminded: "Three intermediate Zergs appeared in Area C. Team F5865 was seriously injured and retreated. The Zergs are about to break through the defense line. Please give the next step of command, commander!"

The adjutant's face darkened. "What's going on? Didn't the previous scout say there was only one? Why did you suddenly - forget it?"

He realized that Yu Zhao was still around, so he quickly stepped down from his position as commander and respectfully asked Yu Zhao, "Commander, look..."

Yu Zhao had just arrived and didn't know much about the deployment of Area C, but after years of fighting, she already had her own set of standards: "Is there any team above Level D in Area C?"

"No." The adjutant shook his head. "The Zerg outside the defense line have been very active recently. All teams above D-level have gone out to clear out the Zerg. Currently, E-level and F-level teams are patrolling several areas."

Since no one was using it, Yu Zhao stopped and stopped walking towards the base. Instead, he turned around and said, "Take me to Area C."

The adjutant was shocked and asked subconsciously: "You are the commander, how can you go down in person?"

As soon as he said this, without waiting for Yu Zhao's reply, he suddenly realized - Yu Zhao was not an ordinary commander. The other party was a killing god who could fight off the Zerg. In those precarious years, all the commanders who were unable to fight were killed by the cunning Zerg Queen!

And the only one who survived - Yu Zhao, you can imagine how powerful he is!

The adjutant quickly changed his words and said with a smile: "Area C is over here, please come this way!"

Yu Zhao strode forward, his back as straight as a cypress. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he exuded a fierce and decisive aura.

Bo Chi followed her and suddenly wanted to see what she looked like in uniform.

When they reached Area C, everyone stopped.

Not far away, three black-shelled insects were wreaking havoc with their sickle-like claws.

Yu Zhao immediately summoned the mecha, her dark eyes flashing with coldness and murderous intent. Just as she was about to rush over, she suddenly remembered something and said to the adjutant beside her: "Protect her."

Adjutant: “Ah?”

After saying these words succinctly, Yu Zhao rushed into the battlefield with confidence.

She hadn't fought the Zerg for many years. Her savagery and cruelty were restrained and suppressed until this time when she let it out.

Watching her slaughtering people on the battlefield, the adjutant sighed sincerely: "As expected of Lord Yu Zhao, she is the best fighter among the commanders, and the best commander among the soldiers!"

The other soldiers nodded in admiration, "Seeing how relaxed the lady is, her spiritual realm must be well maintained!"

"Lady Yu Zhao is so powerful. Controlling a mecha, which consumes so much mental energy, seems to be insignificant to her."

"Why else is he called the legendary A1 Commander?"

People around were paying attention to Yu Zhao's strength and admiring his power.

Bo Chi, who fell behind, was worried about Yu Zhao's health.

After these days of intimacy, Yu Zhao's spiritual realm is no longer the original charcoal color, but looks gray, like an eroded white net. It is only a matter of time before he is completely healed, but now that he has to kill the enemy suddenly, Bo Chi can't help but feel a little worried.

Thinking of the mermaid's abilities and the purpose for which he was assigned, Bo Chi hesitated for two seconds, turned around decisively, and climbed onto the lookout tower behind him.

Standing on the high platform, Bo Chi was brewing the energy in his mind, his red lips slightly parted.

The wind blew by, and the people in the audience soon heard pleasant singing. They looked over in the direction of the sound and said in surprise, "Isn't that the girl who came with the commander? Why did she go up there? She's still singing... Her voice is quite nice, could she be the singer on Starnet?"

"I haven't heard of this song, maybe it's the original composer?"

"Hiss! Stop making noise! ​​Take a look at your own spiritual realm!"

"How, how could this happen? My mental strength is recovering on its own?"

The soft and melodious singing voice is carried far away by the wind. The invisible energy makes the singing voice linger for a long time. Everyone who hears the singing voice will gradually realize that the damaged mental strength is recovering rapidly during the initial appreciation and relaxation.

This discovery shocked them so much that they lost their voices, and their gazes towards the platform were burning.

-Thinking that listening to the singing could save them from the shadow of death, they immediately frantically asked the adjutant on the intelligent computer, wanting to know whether this singer with a sweet voice and beautiful appearance would stay here for a long time.

The gentle singing voice lingered on the battlefield, but the Zerg had no reaction to it. However, Yu Zhao, who was immersed in fighting and blood, woke up in an instant. Yu Zhao restrained the wanton and defiant smile on his lips, his eyes softened, and he no longer teased his prey like a cat teasing a mouse, but suddenly swooped down and killed the three Zergs instantly.

The battle here drew the soldiers' attention back, and they whispered, "Strange, the commander is not torturing the Zerg anymore?"

"I saw her tearing through the Zerg's hard shell and tearing its flesh. I thought she enjoyed watching the Zerg's sharp and painful jumping sounds."

"Ahem, how could the commander be so powerful and mysterious? She must have been venting her anger for the brothers who were attacked. Now that she has vented her anger, she will definitely not kill the Zerg like a pervert."

"The Zerg have killed so many of our human companions, it is only right for you, Commander, to kill them!"

The soldiers were making excuses for Yu Zhao's behavior, not knowing that Yu Zhao was just venting his inner cruelty.

But before she did something even more cruel, the little mermaid's singing awakened her humanity and made her realize that she was no longer the same as before - she was now the clean and warm sun, and only then was she qualified to kiss the white moonlight in the water.

Yu Zhao closed his eyes, let go of the anger in his heart, left the bloody battlefield, and turned to the platform.

She was just about to raise her hand to take her little mermaid back when she suddenly realized that her body was full of fishy smell and she quickly put away her mecha.

Bo Chi stepped down from the platform during this opportunity and walked towards her, but he was stopped by the adjutant after taking just two steps.

The adjutant inserted himself between Yu Zhao and Bo Chi, and faced the death gaze of his idol and boss, and asked sincerely and eagerly: "Miss, may I ask how your singing voice is..."

Bo Chi said calmly: "This is the ability of mermaids. The singing of mermaids can heal damaged mental domains. If a mermaid is strong enough, it can guard an area alone, so that all soldiers in the area will not die due to mental riots."

The adjutant's pupils trembled, and he was shocked by what she said, and his voice trembled a little: "Yes... all mermaids are OK?"

Bo Chi nodded: "Yes."

The adjutant took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and shouted, "Come on, follow me to the imperial capital to find His Majesty!"

His subordinates had some vague guesses and asked tentatively, "Why did you go to see His Majesty?"

The adjutant walked briskly: "Of course we have to ask for mermaids! What do those nobles in the imperial capital want mermaids for? Isn't it just for giving birth to children? Pah, it's a waste of the mermaids' talents. If those mermaids could come to the front line, wouldn't we have to die so many brothers?"

The subordinate had not expected him to be so brave. He swallowed his saliva and suppressed his excitement, saying, "If you go there so rashly, the nobles will be angry with you, right?"

The adjutant called his hovercraft and sneered, "Let them quarrel. I am a military commander, am I afraid that I will not be able to argue with a group of spoiled nobles? Besides, civilians can live well without mermen? Why should an artificial womb be inferior to one born from the belly? The nobles want pure-blooded children, but I wonder if all the soldiers on the front line will die one day, and they themselves can't survive. What will they have the capital to clamor for pure-blooded children?"

—The adjutant was so angry when he thought that a treasure like a mermaid would not use her talent for real work, but was kept in captivity by the nobles to give birth to children. He even forgot to say hello to Yu Zhao and directly dragged his subordinates away.

Yu Zhao didn't call him. After he left, he asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then he entered the base with Bo Chi.

The military base was quiet, and everything was white. The central system made a cold mechanical sound, and after registering their identities, it arranged the highest level room for Yu Zhao.

As Bo Chi was Yu Zhao's man, it was natural for him to move in.

There were not many people in the base. Yu Zhao said that it was because everyone had gone to the front line to fight. Bo Chi asked responsibly whether he should go, but was rejected by Yu Zhao.

The two stayed in the room for a while, mainly to put away daily necessities. There had never been a precedent of raising mermaids in the base. Fortunately, Yu Zhao had prepared for a rainy day by storing a large bathtub in the star ring. He took it out and placed it in the room, just right for Bo Chi to take a bath.

After she had settled the thin wings, she stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a while. If you get bored of staying in the room, come out for a walk. If you get lost, just find someone and tell them my name. They will take you to find me."

Bo Chi lay in the bathtub, his long fish tail immersed in the water, his light blue tail fin resting on the wall of the bathtub, and he said lazily, "Okay."

Although he agreed, Bo Chi still stayed in the room obediently and did not go out as he had just arrived in a new place. I don’t know if he knew about this, but when Yu Zhao came back at night, he specifically asked, “Do you want to go for a walk with me?”

Bo Chi blinked and fixed his eyes on her.

Yu Zhao had changed into a black uniform at some point, which was slim and solemn, with deep red and strange patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves, giving it a gorgeous beauty.

She had probably just left her subordinates, and the fierce aura on her body had not yet dissipated. She was like a dangerous rose, making people only dare to watch her from afar and not approach her.

But Bo Chi was very brave. She was not afraid. Not only that, she hooked her finger at Yu Zhao and said with interest, "You look really good in uniform. Come closer, let me touch it."

Yu Zhao looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to be so proactive.

When Xinran came closer and found that Bo Chi was really just touching the clothes, Yu Zhao was speechless: "If you like, I will take it off and let you try it?"

Bo Chi shook her head. She was quite self-aware: "Uniforms should be worn to look impressive. If I wear one, I'll be like a child imitating an adult. It's not cool at all. Maybe even ridiculous."

Yu Zhao pinched her soft, porcelain-white face, imagining what she would look like in military uniform, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Bo Chi didn't notice that she was laughing at him. After touching her enough, he reluctantly let go and said sincerely, "She's really beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a strong aura! Not only does she have a strong aura, but she also makes people's legs weak!"

She looked like she loved him very much and kept praising him to Yu Zhao. Yu Zhao's heart was moved and he took off his uniform.

Bo Chi was quite puzzled: "Why did you take it off?"

Yu Zhao smiled but said nothing: "Wash it first, and I'll wear it for you later. By the way, don't you want to help the soldiers repair their mental domain? They have already withdrawn and are listening to the news in their rooms. When the news is over, you can use the loudspeaker to sing and help them heal their mental strength."

Bo Chi didn't think deeply about what "later" was. When he heard that he had a chance to use his abilities, he immediately got out of the water excitedly: "Okay, let's go over there!"

Listening to the news was the soldiers' entertainment every night.

On the battlefield, they spent all their time on training, constantly racing against time to strengthen themselves, not daring to relax for a moment, lest they die tragically at the hands of the Zerg next time.

Today, as usual, after listening to the news, they stood or sat and moved their bodies. When they were about to do their own things, a shy voice suddenly sounded in every room: "Can you hear me?"

Before the soldiers could react in surprise, the girl cleared her throat and went straight to the point: "The song we're going to sing today is 'Hope'."

A melodious melody sounded, and the girl's gentle singing was like a sedative, injecting into the bodies of all the soldiers along with the notes. Fighting - the mental realm of the entire day was miraculously soothed and relaxed, as if after enduring a long night, I was able to sleep peacefully in the spring.

The confusion on the soldiers' faces gradually disappeared, and they closed their eyes, immersed in the warm and hopeful song. They did not come back to their senses for a long time even after the song ended.

After singing the song, Bo Chi felt a little embarrassed and dragged Yu Zhao back to the room.

Yu Zhao was puzzled: "Don't you like it here? Why don't you play more?"

Bo Chi scratched his face. "It's weird to suddenly run up and sing. If I walk, I'll bump into those soldiers, right? I'll be embarrassed to death if they look at me weirdly."

Yu Zhao chuckled and ruffled her long hair: "You sing so beautifully, who would find it strange? Besides, you really helped them, they should be more grateful, why would they laugh at you?"

Bo Chi was comforted. He put down his hands that were covering his face and buried himself in her arms. His tone was as sweet as candy: "Did you eat candy behind my back? How can you say sweet words so well?"

Yu Zhao pressed her against the wall, held her wrists against her head with one hand, lowered his head to kiss her red lips, and chuckled, "Want to know if I've had candy? You can look for it yourself."

They were so sticky and intimate that they rolled from the wall to the bed.

Just when Bo Chi was about to be overwhelmed by the arousal, Yu Zhao suddenly remembered something and stood up and said, "I'll go change my clothes."

Bo Chi - Meng: "Now it's time to take off your clothes, what clothes do you want to change into?"

She looked up in confusion, and saw Yu Zhao put on his black and red uniform again and returned to the bed.

"Do you like it?" Yu Zhao asked with a sullen smile.

Bo Chi, who was still dissatisfied just now, now blushed, his almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and he took the initiative to put Yu Zhao's hand on himself, and said in a rather obsessed voice: "A Zhao..."

Yu Zhao's eyes were dark: "Hmm?"

Bo Chi's eyes were sparkling, and he hooked his eyes around her neck seductively, whispering in her ear: "Fuck me."

Yu Zhao breathed rapidly, lowered his head and kissed her snow-white, round shoulders, and said in a hoarse voice: "As you wish."

**

After staying on Osstar for half a month, Bo Chi and Yu Zhao set off again to the next planet.

On the Star Network, word about the mermaid's talent has spread like wildfire.

Raising mermaids in captivity to give birth to children has always been a benefit for the nobility. Ordinary civilians can only apply to become mermaids by accumulating merits on the battlefield. Mermaids have always been rare, so before this, not many people spoke out against mermaids - and with the general trend, no one dared to oppose it.

But the interstellar world is not peaceful. Countless civilians fight desperately on the battlefield. Behind these people usually represents a family and thousands of parents and elders.

In this situation, the talents of mermaids become crucial. They are no longer individuals, but amulets that depend on the lives of soldiers.

The nobles do hold great power and occupy high positions, but every ruler knows that the world can do without nobles but not without the support of the people.

The separatist war lasted for three months. After Bo Chi stood on the battlefield again and repaired the spiritual realm of countless people, the "Mermaid Breeding Base" far away in the imperial capital was quietly closed, and on the same day, the "Mermaid Training Ground" was silently opened.

All the mermaids who have not been sold entered this place. There was not much they had to do, only one thing - to absorb large amounts of mental potions frequently until they grew into perfect mermaids like Bo Chi.

This process took several years, but compared to the 'decades' in the plot, it was fast enough. With the rulers consciously promoting the evolution of mermaids, in the autumn of the fifth year, the second mermaid completely recovered all of her past memories. After a series of examinations and studies, she was sent to Osstar to become a "mental healer."

Soon after that, more mermaids completed their evolution. They were no different from normal humans, and some were even found by their former parents. The sorrow of being forced to separate after becoming mermaids dissipated, and the freedom that belonged to citizens returned to them. They finally no longer had to be bought in ignorance and could freely decide their own lives.

And those mermaids who had long been bought by nobles gradually woke up due to various factors.

Some of them are nobles who have fallen in love with mermaids imperceptibly and want to formally pursue their partners after their partners become normal people. Some of them are nobles who need "healers" and for this reason let the mermaids drink more mental potions to make them stronger.

It is worth mentioning that the latter mermaids often leave the imperial capital after waking up, abandon the nobles and their children, and voluntarily go to the battlefield to start a new life.

In addition, there are people like Shen You, who have been guarding his childhood sweetheart for many years and are now finally waiting for the day when things start to look bright.

Zhao Dai recalled that day in the past when he was so excited that he sent dozens of communication requests to Yu Zhao in the middle of the night. Finally, in the presence of Bo Chi's dazed state and Yu Zhao's unhappy gaze, he cried and laughed while drunk.

Seventy years of the new century.

The twentieth anniversary since the mermaids were liberated.

Bo Chi and Yu Zhao traveled around several planets, walked through the front-line battlefields of fighting, passed by the holy land of lovers with red leaves all over the sky, hung the immortality lock on the immortality stone, and picked up shells at the starfish.

The trip was so long that when they returned to the imperial capital, they hardly recognized the place.

Shen You and Zhao Dai, who came to pick them up, held hands and said with a smile, "It's probably because the mermaids have evolved completely. Before, there were few differentiations of mermaids, but now they are differentiated in batches, which greatly reduces the death rate on the front line. His Majesty has been very happy in recent years. He even discussed with me a few days ago that he would give you a big reward when you come back."

Yu Zhao was wearing sunglasses, his hand around Bo Chi's waist, and he said indifferently: "Really? That's something worth looking forward to."

She spoke of her anticipation, but her face showed no expression. Instead, her thin eyes were sparkling and she looked very happy.

Seeing her appearance, Zhao Dai couldn't help but think she was cute, and deliberately teased, "That's really a big reward. I guarantee you will be surprised when you find out."

Bo Chi couldn't hold it in any longer, so he leaned over to ask her, "What exactly is the reward? Tell me first, since I taught you to sing many years ago!"

Zhao Dai covered her lips and smiled: "If I tell you in advance, it won't be a surprise, but you can guess."

The two mermaids chatted again without any barriers. Seeing them talking and laughing, Yu Zhao and Shen You remained silent in the back, and then said at the same time: "Take your wife away."

After he finished speaking, Shen You immediately explained: "Daier has a bad temper. She has always liked Chichi. If I go up to persuade her, I may not be able to persuade her to leave."

Yu Zhao had a blank expression on his face: "Chichi also likes Zhao Dai. I don't want to go up and ruin her mood and make her unhappy, so you go and call her."

Shen You: "I don't, your wife is just unhappy. My wife will make me kneel on the cobblestones when I get home."

Yu Zhao: "If you don't even dare to kneel on a cobblestone, what kind of man are you?"

Shen You: "You don't even dare to ruin your wife's mood, what kind of cold-blooded marshal are you?"

Yu Zhao: “Heh.”

Shen You: “Haha.”

Haven't been back for many years
