"Actually, the outcome is already decided!"

"Look, look! The mermaid prince is smiling so happily! At first, the prince was frowning, but ever since Lu Xingchen arrived, his mood has been getting better and better."

The mermaid prince put away his harp and said to Lu Xingchen, "I am very satisfied!"

Now everyone knows, there's no suspense anymore!

Nie Bailing's face was pale. After listening to Lanlan and the Mermaid Prince's duet, she naturally knew that she had lost.

But that shouldn't be the case.

Lanlan is a bird, and if only one bird wins, it doesn't mean Lu Xingchen has won.

She looked at the mermaid prince expectantly.

The mermaid prince waved his hand and said, "Okay, thank you everyone. Now, the concert is over. Let's go back."

Nie Bailing stared intently at the mermaid prince. Her favorability towards him hadn't increased, and she anxiously asked, "Then... who's number one?"

The mermaid prince was taken aback: "It's just a singing competition, why are there rankings?"

Why not? Everyone was stunned. The announcement stated that the person who was most compatible with the prince would receive the prince's favor and gifts.

Naturally there are first and second place.

However, none of them dared to ask too many questions. The merman prince had an eccentric personality, and if they asked too many questions, what if he got angry and threw them away?

They don't care, anyway, it won't be them.

Right now, the only person I care about is Nie Bailing.

Seeing that the Mermaid Prince's favorability rating remained unchanged, Nie Bailing asked unwillingly, "Raine, among the people you played with, who is the person you are most compatible with?"

She emphasized the word "people".

The mermaid prince's smile turned cold: "Alright, you can all leave now. Lu Xingchen, you stay here."

Nie Bailing: "No, Prince, since you are holding a singing party, you must explain it clearly."

Who is the "person" who is most compatible with him? Of course, it's her. Lanlan is a bird, not a person!

The mermaid prince grew impatient: "It's Lu Xingchen. It's so obvious, can't you tell?"

Nie Bailing: "When did she play a duet with you?"

The merman prince, having completely lost his patience, shouted, "Get out!"

With a flick of his tail, he forcibly pushed everyone off the cloud boat and back onto their own rafts.

The mermaid prince was so strong that the players staggered and fell, barely managing to grab onto the raft.

When everyone looked up again, Yun Fang and the Mermaid Prince were nowhere to be seen, nor were Lu Xingchen and Lan Lan.

Everyone complained:

"What's wrong with Nie Bailing? How dare she talk to the Mermaid Prince like that? Everyone knows who is number one, so why is she still asking?"

"Exactly, otherwise I could stay a little longer, which means I could get some benefits out of it!"

"Nie Bailing is a bit reckless! Too impulsive, she's still young!"

"She was unconvinced because Lu Xingchen didn't do it himself; he had his pet do it."

"Aren't pets and their owners one entity? What's there to complain about?"

"I think this girl is a bit stubborn!"

Nie Bailing was indeed furious.

Lu Xingchen remained standing on the cloud boat. After Lanlan and the mermaid prince played their duet, she noticed that the mermaid prince's favorability rating had changed.

It went from 28 to 48!

She was so happy. This time her bet was right. Lan Lan was really awesome!

With no one else around, the mermaid prince smiled again: "Lu Xingchen, thank you for your harp, and thank you for letting Lanlan and I play together."

The mermaid prince was very satisfied with the performance.

Lu Xingchen, however, was thinking about something else.

It's already the second day, and there's only one day and two hours left before the prince turns evil.

The prince's affection level for her is only 48, he simply can't control his descent into darkness!

What should I do?
