Chapter 273

After bandaging his injured finger, Wen Xin, still seething with anger, wanted to question him again: Why did you hurt yourself?

When she looked up, she met his dull, lifeless eyes. His aura was icy cold, but in her eyes, he was just a big, pitiful puppy, crying and whimpering, afraid of being abandoned.

Wen Xin's anger instantly dissipated, replaced by heartache and helplessness. "What's wrong? Bo Xu, let's talk this out."

Bo Xu shook his head. He couldn't be jealous, and he couldn't put her in a difficult position. As the legitimate wife, he had to be magnanimous!

But it hurts so much. Does my darling wife not love me anymore? Has she fallen for some other woman?

Or is there some unforgettable love or special someone she has in the past?

Is he about to become a divorced husband?

I feel terrible, I want to cry. He doesn't want a divorce, he'd rather die than agree to it!

Wen Xin: "..."

Actually, she was just affected by the emotions of the soul fragment.

After all, in her past life, she had always pursued Bai Ruiwen, giving almost everything for him and suffering immense heartbreak.

Even after the mermaid died, she gave up on him.

But if love were so easily lost, she wouldn't have died from a mental breakdown due to self-torture.

Upon suddenly hearing the news about Bai Ruiwen, Wen Xin felt a slight pang of sadness for a moment. Although it didn't affect her much, she didn't expect Bo Xu to notice it so keenly.

“I did have some interaction with that person before, but that’s all in the past. I have no inappropriate relationship with him now or in the future, so don’t overthink it.”

Wen Xin truly no longer loves Bai Ruiwen; she is not lying to him.

Bo Xu's eyes lit up slightly. "I believe you."

He was just too afraid of being abandoned by her.

Wen Xin leaned against him, looking at his injured fingers, a tear welling up in her eyes, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll tell you everything."

Bo Xu couldn't help but be anxious. He hurriedly lowered his head and kissed her, his voice incredibly gentle. "I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more. I believe you."

Whoever that man was, that's in the past. She is now his wife, and they will always be together and never separate. That's enough.

It was his fault; he shouldn't have been so jealous and touched on her painful memories.

Wen Xin shook her head, reached out and hugged his neck, nuzzling affectionately against his neck.

"He must have come to see me. I originally wanted to go to him, talk to him, and ask him to go back."

"However, if you don't want me to go, I won't go. You are my husband, so you can go and say it for me."

Bo Xu couldn't help but tighten his arms around her, his heart melted by her words, "You are my husband." He was no longer saddened or disappointed.

Moreover, as her husband, with his beloved wife caring for and trusting him so much, Bo Xu felt even more that he should be gentlemanly, not disappoint her, and not let his rival look down on him.

He said gently, "It's alright. Since he's your friend, it's only right that we, as the hosts, invite him to our home."

Hmm, call them in, let their love rival see how loving the couple is, so that he'll back down.

As long as his beloved wife's heart is with him, Bo Xu is confident that he will never lose to any other male.

Wen Xin didn't want to force him; now, nothing was more important to her than her silly mermaid husband.

"Come out with me, and we can talk to him directly and make things clear."

Bo Xu said, "That would be a poor way to treat guests. We should invite them to our home instead."

The most effective way to strike at a rival's Achilles' heel is to let him see her happy and carefree. In that case, as long as he's still a human being, he'll have no reason to bother her anymore.

Of course, if the other party is morally corrupt, it would be even better for Bo Xu, as it would highlight him and let his beloved wife know how right she was to choose him, and that he is her one and only true love.

That cunning fish was calculating things meticulously.

Wen Xin had no idea how shrewd her silly mermaid husband actually was, and laughed, "Then I'll listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Bo Xu was even happier, feeling that his beloved wife truly loved only him as her husband, and that the other women outside were nothing to her.

...

Just when the Second Elder was about to despair of not being able to see Bo Xu and was about to return empty-handed, he unexpectedly received a message from Fan Yi.

Fan Yi gave the Second Elder and the others the navigation route to the ocean planet, telling them to come over on their own.

Even the Second Elder didn't know if this was a stroke of good fortune or if Bo Xu was up to something again.

No one can guess what that person is thinking!

But for better or worse, the Second Elder and the others had to go see Bo Xu.

This was also their ultimate purpose and mission in leaving the Mermaid Empire and drifting on the interstellar route for a year.

Using the location sent by Fan Yi, the spaceship quickly found the location of the ocean planet. Only then did the mermaids realize that the Emperor's secluded place had never been far from them.

But no matter how they probed and searched, they just couldn't find it.

The Second Elder and other high-ranking merfolk knew perfectly well that it was not only because Bo Xu's mental power was extremely strong and could easily interfere with the detectors, but also because he controlled the main system of the merfolk civilization and could arbitrarily change the data of their spaceships, making them unable to find him forever.

The more this happened, the more the merfolk's superiors feared him.

However, Bo Xu firmly held the initiative, and they were helpless.

We can only pray that the Emperor will at least consider our kinship and not do anything reckless!

The spaceship landed on the sea near the island. Fan Yi came to greet them and took them to see the master and his wife.

It instructed the group of mermaids, "The lady is still resting. Keep your noise down and don't disturb her, or the emperor will be angry."

Mermaids: "..."

It's already midday and you're still sleeping?

That human woman is truly spoiled and arrogant!

The Fourth Elder's expression was the worst, but intimidated by Bo Xu's imposing and cold demeanor, he could only hold back and dared not speak.

The Second Elder remained calm and gently agreed.

He wasn't surprised. From the fact that Bo Xu had almost killed them to avenge that human, he knew how high her status was in the emperor's heart.

However, when they arrived at the heart of the forest and saw the mysterious and aloof emperor from their memories gently floating by the lake, combing the hair of a human girl, they were all so shocked that their mouths dropped open in disbelief.

Even the Second Elder almost slapped himself to see if he was still dreaming.

Is that gentle, beautiful mermaid really the emperor?

The emperor actually combs a woman's hair; aren't his hands usually only used to tear mermaids apart?

Holy crap!

Fan Yi stopped walking, without making a sound to disturb his master and wife, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with keeping the second elders waiting.

Find out that they themselves begged to see their master.

It wasn't their owner who invited them!

If you don't want to wait, then leave!
