The clan chief was stunned, raising his eyes to look at the deep blue in the distance: "This may have to start with my family... When my father was chosen to be offered to the Moon Goddess, my mother and father were not yet together. After learning this news, they no longer cared about the opinions of their elders and got together, and I was born."

I originally thought I could escape the favor of the Moon Goddess because of this, but I didn't expect the Moon Goddess to not care at all and still took my father away from us. At that time, I had already experienced five ocean current changes, and I remember it very clearly.

After her father's death, her mother initially intended to commit suicide, but she suddenly discovered she was pregnant. Remembering that it was her father's child, she chose to live on. Alvin's birth reminded her of her father, and she continued to live day by day until Alvin grew up. Due to the prolonged repression, her lifespan was shortened, and she died naturally.

Everything has a traceable pattern.

"The sentence that Alvin and I heard her say the most was: 'If I hadn't found out I was pregnant with you, I would have died long ago. There is no point in living if you lose your love.'"

The clan chief could tell that Jiang Shuyin had something to say: "I don't mean to blame you. Alvin also told me that this whole thing was his idea from the beginning, and you were the object of his willfulness. I can see that he trusts you a lot, and even wanted to give the child to you, but I won't allow it."

"Is there really no way at all?" Jiang Shuyin looked at the door, wanting to see him swimming towards her alive through it.

The clan chief lowered his head and shook it slightly.

The silence lasted for several minutes.

The clan chief took a deep breath: "I'm going to take care of some things. If he wakes up, just go in... If... if he gets agitated, calm him down. He can't afford to have any major emotional fluctuations right now."

After she left, Jiang Shuyin was left pacing outside the door, trying to think of what to say, but couldn't come up with anything. What came to mind was their first meeting.

Stunning.

Seeing the mermaids, these incredibly beautiful creatures, for the first time felt like stepping into a mythological world.

A soft sigh echoed from inside the door.

Jiang Shuyin suddenly turned around, and the door opened automatically.

What catches the eye is a bed of blue hair, dull and draped behind him like a cheap wig.

With his hands braced on the edge of the bed, his back was somewhat hunched, his spine bulging down to his neck, and his pale skin had a grayish tinge. It was clear at a glance that this was a merman who had reached the end of his life.

He had his back to her: "Okay, stop now."

As you get closer, you'll see the spots on his body, patches of black and brown, making him look as ugly as a rascal.

Jiang Shuyin put down her feet and stood for a while, watching him pull a tuft of hair and wrap it tightly around his finger, as if he wanted to strangle the outer part of his finger.

"I can't save you," Jiang Shuyin said in a low, heavy voice.

Alvin curled the corners of his mouth, his wrinkles deepening: "I know, I deserve it all."

To be honest, he ran away without even saying goodbye, and was worried that she wouldn't come.

As expected, the person he likes is wonderful; she even tried to save him. Alvin felt sweet inside, and he wasn't afraid to die even now.

"Hmm... how long can you stay here?" Not hearing her speak, Alvin almost turned around to see if she was still there.

Jiang Shuyin lowered her gaze: "A few days, I guess."

Alvin did some mental calculations: "That's good."

Then it quieted down again.

Alvin quickly tried to start a conversation: "Will you miss me after I come back?"

Jiang Shuyin: "Occasionally."

He's actually quite interesting, probably because he's so enthusiastic about me, so I never found him troublesome to be around.

Alvin suddenly felt reluctant to die, and touched his belly a few times: "Could you come and visit them more often in the future? My sister definitely won't agree to me leaving the child with you."

He had previously mocked those children for only being able to share her love, but now that his own children don't even have their parents around, can his sister continue to be good to them?

Jiang Shu sighed deeply and asked the system in her mind: Have you ever seen someone like him before?

The child in his womb is still absorbing his life essence. If the connection had been severed earlier, things wouldn't have come to this. There's no other way now.

That day, Alvin never turned around to look at her.

She came again the next day, and Alvin talked to her for a while. He fell asleep after less than half an hour. Jiang Shuyin stared at the wrinkles on his face for a while, then silently walked away.

She waited outside for him to wake up, then went in. She really didn't know what to say. Alvin always had something to talk about. Jiang Shuyin even suspected that he was thinking about what to say to her while he was sleeping.

Still unable to hold on for more than half an hour, Alvin collapsed and fell asleep again due to exhaustion.

This time, Jiang Shu led him to his side, looking down at every inch of his exposed skin, and relentlessly used her healing magic to remove the pigment deposits bit by bit.

The essence of the treatment is to use some active substances to amplify the body's immune regulation mechanism, so as to promote the engulfment of harmful substances in the body and accelerate metabolism.

Through her efforts, she managed to eliminate most of the problem.

Jiang Shuyin raised her hand and placed it on his stomach, a chill flashing through her mind.

Sensing the killing intent, the restless mature egg became unusually active, causing Alvin to wake up prematurely. He clutched his stomach and gasped, "Baby, be good~ don't make a fuss, we'll be out soon."

The day the child was born was the day Alvin would die.

"The child is about to be born." The high priest arrived mysteriously, followed by a saintess holding a basin of holy water, which Jiang Shuyin could not tell was any different from seawater.

Alvin's expression gradually stiffened; even though he knew this scene would come sooner or later, it still felt sudden.

Finally, he swallowed his pride and looked up at her.

Those deep blue eyes faded to sky blue, a pure and serene color, clear and bright, with black pupils staring intently at her.

He seemed happy that she didn't mind his old age, yet also saddened by their impending separation.
