Gu Nianchen hugged Bai Luoyu tightly: "Be good, don't cry, I love you, I cherish every day with you, as long as we love each other, it doesn't matter how long it lasts.

Compared to "I'm sorry", I prefer to hear you say the other three words, Luo Yu, do you know? Say it to me, okay? "

Bai Luoyu raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "I love you! I love you! Nianchen!"

"I love you too. Stop crying and go on. What does your father need you to do now? We have to solve this problem first!" Gu Nianchen gently stroked Bai Luoyu's head to calm him down.

Bai Luoyu continued sobbing, "Because I only have ten years left, my father needs me and other mermaids to continue the incense until there are descendants who can inherit the bloodline of the Mermaid King..." Bai Luoyu spoke more and more quietly.

"What? I don't agree!" Gu Nianchen widened his eyes in shock and firmly opposed it.

"Why do you object?" Before Bai Luoyu could tell Gu Nianchen that he would not agree, he heard his father's angry voice coming from outside.

"Father, I don't agree with your idea. I only love Nianchen. I won't have any relationship with anyone else except him." Bai Luoyu held Gu Nianchen's hand and said firmly.

Gu Nianchen was also beside Bai Luoyu and looked at Bai Haoyuan: "I am Luoyu's husband. Neither Luoyu nor I would agree to this. As Luoyu's father, for his happiness, please change the conditions."

Gu Nianchen's words were polite and firm.

Bai Haoyuan felt sad when he looked at the two of them. Bai Luoyu was his son, and he was not so cruel as to destroy his son's happiness.

But Bai Luoyu awakened the bloodline of the Mermaid King, which will bring huge changes to the mermaid tribe.

His bloodline can suppress and control all marine life, so perhaps they will have the power to fight against humans.

After a long time, Bai Haoyuan sighed.

"You guys follow me!"

Bai Haoyuan brought the two of them to a room. In the room were crystal coffins with names engraved on them, but the crystal coffins were empty.

Bai Luoyu looked over and saw that they all had the surname Bai. Finally, he saw a name he recognized, it was his sister. Looking further, there were a few more names he recognized.

"Didn't they say they died of illness? Why are there only coffins? What's going on? Father!" Bai Luoyu didn't understand what was happening in front of him.

Bai Haoyuan sighed and said, "This story begins thousands of years ago. At that time, in order to reproduce and thrive, humans needed food, so they hunted a large number of marine life. There was already a ban that did not allow mermaids to go to the near sea.

However, a young member of the tribe was caught by a fishing boat and brought ashore. He was so scared that he started crying.

The fallen pearls surprised people so much that they reported it to the king of the City of Light at that time.

The disappearance of the little mermaid also alarmed the leader of the mermaid tribe at that time, so he went to negotiate with the people of the City of Light and the Temple of Darkness.

He made it clear to the two kings that if humans continued to hunt marine life on a large scale, they would be retaliated against again.

The two kings knew this very well, so they drafted a treaty together to establish fishing moratoriums and hunting areas.

After the treaty was drafted, the Dark Palace left first, and the patriarch brought up the matter of mermaids with the King of the City of Light.

The King of the Palace of Light did not deny it, but said that he was truly in love with the beautiful mermaid princess and hoped to establish a marriage relationship with the mermaid family.

From then on, no one in the City of Light would go out to sea to hunt marine life. The clan leader considered it for a long time and agreed to the other party's proposal to send a mermaid for marriage every ten years of human life. Bai Haoyuan revealed the secret of that year.

Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu were both shocked, and finally understood why the City of Light never went to the ocean to catch fish.

"But I've never heard of the king of the City of Light or any member of the royal family marrying a mermaid princess, and there's no record of it in history books." After hearing this, Gu Nianchen remembered the strangest thing.

He already had a vague answer in his mind, but if that was the case, then the princess who married into the mermaid tribe would be too pitiful.

Bai Luoyu also nodded and said, "Yes, I've been on land for so long and I've never heard of it. Even if this is an agreement made by the City of Light, they can't keep it secret!"

After hearing what the two said, Bai Haoyuan's expression became even more painful.

"Yes, this is something that has always troubled me. To be exact, it was my father who started to discover it.

My father had many sons but only one daughter, so my sister's fate was determined from the moment she was born.

On the appointed date, he sent his daughter onto the ship and watched her go farther and farther away. This was their farewell forever.

He went through a difficult time for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the longing for his daughter, so he secretly came to the land to find out the whereabouts of his daughter.

The news he had received was indeed true; he had never heard of a mermaid princess. At that moment, his emotions were indescribable; he wanted to confront the Temple of Light.

But that could bring disaster to mermaids and even marine life.

Humanity has become too powerful. They have many weapons with astonishing lethality, so he can only choose to endure. "Bai Haoyuan's tone was filled with sadness as he spoke of this.

"But where did our princess go?" Bai Luoyu asked.

Bai Haoyuan shook his head: "I don't know either. I am also a failed clan leader. I can only exchange my daughter's happiness for peace."

"No, father, this is not your problem, but we should change these." Bai Luoyu's mood was complicated. He also thought of a very bad possibility, but he did not say it out loud, as that would make his father even more sad.

"If it were easy to change, I wouldn't have wanted you to stay after you awakened. Father is not such a cruel person. If there was another way, why would I want to sacrifice your happiness!" Bai Haoyuan looked away in pain.

Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu exchanged a glance and said, "We have to give it a try. I'll first send someone to sneak into the City of Light to find out where the mermaid princess is, and then we'll make plans."

"There has been no news for so many years. How can you find out? Besides, it's very dangerous." Bai Haoyuan didn't want Bai Luoyu to take risks. He is now the hope of the mermaid tribe.

"Because I am the king of the Dark Palace!" Gu Nianchen said in a deep voice.

"What?" Bai Haoyuan was shocked. He never thought that Gu Nianchen was the king of the Dark Palace.

"Yes, father, we didn't lie to you. We will definitely be able to find it." Bai Luoyu saw the disbelief in Bai Haoyuan's eyes and explained.

“Also, there’s one thing you may not know. Although there’s no information about mermaids in the City of Light, the Palace of Light has accumulated enormous wealth through exquisite pearls.

Considering the matter of the marriage, I think you can roughly guess what is going on.

And I think I am the only one who has the ability to find out about this matter and help the mermaids."
