The system was surprised by his perseverance: [You can rest for a while.]

Qi Qi: [I need to hurry. Lan Du did so well, I can definitely do it too. I need to go out and see what's going on, do my mission, and rescue the merman mother.]

Look, I can stand up now, and I reckon I'll be able to walk for a while tomorrow.

The system then fell silent.

...

On the other side, Lan returned to the shore, casually leaning against a rock, looking at the sea at night with a relaxed and carefree posture.

It took him half a month to learn how to walk before he developed the skill of walking on land for extended periods of time.

The little prince couldn't stand hardship. He didn't even want to hunt and had to wait for his men to catch and prepare the fish for him. It was normal for him to take ten days or half a month to learn to walk.

The sea monster sent to cause trouble on the large ship succeeded, and the group of humans rushed to the island overnight without stopping.

Another group of people arrived in a disheveled state by boat. The ferry turned back, and the remaining people followed the moonlight toward the island.

On a dark and windy night, with a gentle sea breeze, a melodious song suddenly rang in my ears, coming from the distant horizon and surrounding me, like the call of a loved one or the whisper of a lover.

They bypassed the castle's main road, following the guidance of their hearts towards the unknown.

...

"No wonder it's an ancient site! Uncle, come quick! Look what I've found!"

Louis pulled Sterling, who was about to rest, over, along with Jason and a few others. He looked at the exquisite murals on the wall, his fingers tracing the carved lines, his handsome face filled with fascination.

"This was carved stroke by stroke by the most talented master craftsman of the Claude family's ancestors. It's a pity that such a precious treasure will remain on this island forever."

Jason leaned against the wall and yawned: "My dear prince, it's already nine o'clock at night. You've been energetic all day, aren't you sleepy yet?"

David and Charlie simply didn't come over.

Miss Hilore had changed into more tailored men's clothing: a pure white shirt, a black vest, a well-fitting coat, matching tights, and a pair of finely crafted sheepskin boots. This look began the moment she stepped off the ship. Louis, a sincere and cheerful young man, was different from the old-fashioned thinking of the established nobles, and he readily accepted his cousin's new appearance.

Hilor and Sterling were looking at the merfolk depicted on the mural, which recorded how the people of this island traveled overseas and brought back merfolk from a distant ancient Eastern country.

The carvings are incredibly lifelike; aside from some paint fading, the mermaids on the mural look so realistic that they seem about to swim out at any moment.

"It's really good, isn't it?"

The group instantly recalled the blue-tailed merman they had encountered at sea the previous night.

Louis's eyes were filled with fascination: "That's the most beautiful thing in the world..."

"Perhaps, we will be able to see him again?"

Jason yawned again: "Then we'd better be careful, Your Highness. I've heard that merfolk have bad tempers and like to eat people. Maybe that's not just a legend? Before us, no human who came here ever came back alive."

Louis recalled the mermaid's pure eyes: "He looked very different; he must have been very kind."

Jason laughed and said, "Poor prince, you've fallen in love? Have you forgotten how he knocked the sailors down with his singing? He even tried to pull Sterling into the water."

The group all looked at Sterling, who continued to look at the mural, his expression still indifferent, seemingly not wanting to pay them any attention.

Jason then asked Hilllo, "Hilllo, what do you think? Does that merman want to eat Sterling?"

Hilllo ignored him.

Louis was somewhat annoyed: "You've been speaking ill of the merfolk. Are you really the kind of person who judges others based solely on your own opinions?"

Jason and David Charlie started behaving disrespectfully as soon as they got off the ship, showing no respect for the prince whatsoever. Louis, used to being approachable to his friends, sensed something was wrong but couldn't really find anything.

At that moment, Jason also received a warning in his mind that his persona was ruined, and he quickly apologized with a smile.

"It was just a joke, Your Highness. Please forgive me. I was just a little nervous because I've read too many legends."

Louis: "Such a beautiful and soft creature would certainly not eat people."

The young man recalled that fleeting glimpse of her face under the moonlight, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. His heart pounded with a delightful, itchy feeling.

He seemed to have forgotten that the soft creature in his mouth could easily crush a hard shell with a single claw.

A lot happened that night.

Regardless of whether the BOSS Mermaid King was not enraged and turned evil,

Lan, whose good and evil are difficult to distinguish.

The taskers, still preoccupied with earning points, and the prince, who seemed to be in love, were also there.

Qi Qi knew none of this.

He practiced walking, falling down on the bed again and again. He got angry when he fell ten times, but by the twentieth time he had given up and was even more determined.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, I was able to walk for half an hour without my legs suddenly feeling weak and powerless.

[Phew! Success! After I eat, my strength recovery time should be up to an hour!]

[One hour today, two hours tomorrow, three hours the day after... Hahahaha...]

System: [That's impressive. Go to sleep now.]

It's been howling all night; young fish really have energy.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu's legs went weak again and she slid onto the bed. Three seconds later, her breathing became heavier.

...

Early in the morning, Lan, who had been busy all night, carried a whole large seashell and a large bucket of water toward the hut.
