Chapter 88 After Abandoning the Innocent Mermaid 26 "Possess me."...
Neptune was very busy as he needed to deal with matters in the Blue Galaxy. He stayed with Fu Wei for three days and made sure that Fu Wei would not hurt herself again. Only then did he feel at ease to leave the Poseidon Abyss and hurried to the mermaid's palace to deal with those long-pending matters.
Fu Wei had been thinking about the Poseidon Tree these days. After confirming that Neptune would not return to the Poseidon Abyss in the short term, he quietly went to find the high priest.
The high priest was sitting under the tree of the sea god. His long white hair blended in with the road paved with shells on the ground. His old face was full of worry about the future of the mermaids.
"High Priest." Fu Wei shouted.
The high priest looked up in confusion, and when he saw it was Fu Wei, a kind and gentle smile returned to his face.
"Little guy, why are you here? Do you think Poseidon is boring? Many people feel the same way. If you're bored, I can ask someone to take you for a walk."
The old man was a kind and gentle elder, and his words were full of concern. Fu Wei could see that if Fu Wei did not take the initiative, the high priest would really hide it from her together with Neptune.
But he didn't want to.
Fu Wei bent down and picked up a fallen leaf.
The leaves are dull and lifeless, like a piece of thin paper, which will break if you pinch it lightly.
"Is the Sea God Tree about to wither?"
The high priest was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's autumn now, and the trees will shed their leaves. This is normal."
Fu Wei: "High Priest, you don't have to hide it from me anymore. I heard everything you said to Neptune yesterday. Including the fact that the Sea God Tree is about to die and the new Sea God Tree needs a sacrifice of flesh and blood."
The high priest was surprised: "How do you know all this?"
Fu Wei whispered, "High Priest, this is my secret. I cannot tell you, but my goal is the same as yours. I want the new Poseidon Tree to be revitalized and protect the mermaids forever. I also want Neptune to live well, so I beg you to help me."
The high priest said earnestly, "Your Majesty will make the final decision on this matter. My dear fellow, your current task is to take care of your health. Stop being so irritable and go back."
Fu Wei crushed the leaves in his hand. He stood before the high priest and pleaded again, "The mermaids cannot lose their Poseidon tree, nor can they lose their emperor. But they can give me up. I hold Neptune's heart within me. Let my flesh and blood nourish the Poseidon tree. Only then will all problems be resolved."
There is no wind on the seabed, but waves often surge.
Fu Wei: "You are the High Priest of the Mermaids. Your mission is to protect the Mermaids, so you should understand the importance of things. So I hope you can agree to let me do this."
The high priest looked at Fu Wei quietly for a long time, and finally saw the determination in Fu Wei's eyes. His cloudy eyes were filled with unspeakable grief, and his shriveled body was actually shaking.
He knew this was the best way.
But the mermaids have always been deeply affectionate. Once they set their minds on someone, they will never look back even if they die.
"Little guy, even if I am willing, His Majesty is unwilling. How can you convince him?"
Fu Wei smiled sweetly: "Then don't tell him."
He naturally understood the high priest's concerns, and he himself had such concerns, so he did not intend to tell Neptune, just as Neptune did not intend to tell him that he was going to sacrifice himself.
The high priest shook his head: "No, I still can't agree to you."
Fu Wei frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
The High Priest said: "A mermaid's love is one that endures through life and death. If you die, your Majesty will die too. I cannot take the risk."
"No, Neptune won't! I believe that as a king, he won't abandon his people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to sacrifice himself." At this point, Fu Wei became emotional and bent down deeply, pleading for the third time, "Please believe in Neptune. He won't die. He will uphold his royal duties. Please believe me, too, because there is no better way."
The high priest was also engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.
He knew Neptune's temper well.
But for the future of the mermaids, he had to do so.
Fu Wei whispered, "High Priest, sacrificing me in exchange for the survival of the mermaid tribe is a good deal, isn't it?"
The sea water flowed for a long time, and the high priest finally nodded: "Okay, I will help you keep it secret from him."
Fu Wei smiled in relief and said, "I know the Sea God Tree only has one hundred days left. My alienation might be resolved within that time, but I have some personal matters to deal with, so I'd like to ask you to help me complete the alienation as soon as possible."
"But what about the empire?" asked the high priest.
Fu Wei nodded: "Yes."
High Priest: "You want to return to the Empire?"
Fu Wei: "My friends are still there, and I want to say goodbye to them properly. I also have something important to do. If I don't do it, I will die with regrets. But don't worry, I won't go back on my word. If you don't trust me, you can install a monitoring system on me or send someone to follow me."
High Priest: "I believe you."
Fu Wei: "Thank you very much."
The high priest looked at Fu Wei for a long time, and then said, "I don't know what happened between you and Neptune in the past, nor do I know why he dug out his heart for you, but Neptune never said anything bad about you in front of us. On the contrary, he protected you and loved you.
"A large part of the reason we came to the Empire this time is because we want to help His Majesty and bring back his beloved. We don't want His Majesty's heart to be lost. Another reason is that His Majesty's mother died, and we must avenge Her Royal Highness."
Hearing the high priest say this, Fu Wei felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He thought Neptune was coming to take revenge on him and kill him.
But he never imagined that even though he had done such a ruthless thing, Neptune still did not think of killing him.
He just wanted to bring his lover back to his hometown.
The words Neptune once said to him came to mind:
"Fuwei, can you come home with me when the time comes? The people here are so mean and won't treat you well at all. If you come home with me, my people will like you. They all love humans."
Neptune was right. Even though mermaids had been severely hurt by humans, they still maintained their kindness in their bones and would never vent their anger on others. This gave him the opportunity to settle down.
Fu Wei whispered, his nails digging into his flesh, "Did he find the real culprit who hurt his mother?"
The high priest nodded. "In fact, most of those who were killed back then are now dead. There are still a few who have escaped the net, and they have all been arrested. His Majesty brought them back with him on the return journey. They are probably now imprisoned in the Imperial City and will be tried soon."
Fu Wei: "That's great."
The high priest said, "As for... your talk of accelerating the process of alienation, it's actually unreliable. You are still a human being after all. If you insist on alienation, the process will make you feel unprecedented pain, like having all your bones broken and reassembled." After a pause, he added, "It will be so painful that you will die."
"I'm not afraid."
What Neptune could do for her, he could do for Neptune.
and……
Neptune had done so much for him, but he could not let go of his hatred and persistence, always thinking about what would happen after he got his revenge. However, he had forgotten that what Neptune wanted was not compensation, but his company.
It’s just a pity that he finally thought of this, but he has to face such a situation.
Fu Wei looked up at the Poseidon Tree and thought that this was the last thing he could do for Neptune.
The high priest gave Fu Wei a bottle of medicine, which was made from the fruit of the Poseidon tree. After taking it, it would awaken all the mermaid blood in his body and force him to establish a strong connection with the Poseidon tree.
It only takes one day and one night for him to complete the alienation.
Returning to her bedroom with Neptune, Fu Wei drank the potion without hesitation.
He had inquired in advance that Neptune would personally judge the criminals, and from trial to execution, he would not be able to return to Poseidon's Abyss until the night after tomorrow at the earliest.
So Fu Wei was not worried about running into Neptune.
Not long after taking the medicine, a piercing pain came from his legs. The flesh and blood kept wriggling, and hard and sharp scales grew up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Fu Wei fell on the bed in pain, and the sound of shattering rang in his ears.
He had actually heard this kind of sound before, but he didn't realize it at the time. Now he realized that it was the sound of breaking bones.
Fu Wei bit his lips tightly, his face pale. His nails had broken because he had used too much force, and blood was flowing out from between his fingers, but he could not feel the pain in his palms at all.
The real pain was in his lower body.
That place could no longer be called a leg. It was like a bloody strip of meat that was blending together in an extremely strange way, turning into something like a tail.
Fu Wei was like being washed by water. He was in so much pain that his eyes blurred and he looked down unconsciously. He was frightened by himself, so he used his last bit of strength to pull the quilt next to him and cover himself with it.
Fu Wei's consciousness became blurred and he gradually fell into a coma.
There is no day or night under the sea, only bright lights all year round. When Fu Wei woke up again, his vision was blurry and his consciousness was confused. All his strength could only support his eyes, opening a crack so that he could look at the world with a weak breath.
There were streaks of light and shadow in front of Fu Wei's eyes, like the shadows of fish.
These beautiful and shiny fish are circling around Fuwei.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Wei finally heard footsteps.
It was not the steady and powerful footsteps that belonged to Neptune, but slow and heavy footsteps.
He is the high priest.
The high priest came to Fu Wei, his eyes full of worry and he muttered something.
It was the obscure mermaid language, but Fu Wei actually understood it.
[Pray to the Sea God for mercy and blessings upon you.]
Fu Wei was stunned, and just at this moment his body had recovered its strength. He forced himself to hold on and open his eyes.
It turned out that the fish surrounding him were transformed from the branches and leaves of the Poseidon Tree. No wonder it could heal his wounds.
"You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" the high priest asked with concern.
Fu Wei sat up and subconsciously looked down, only to see that the straight and slender legs turned into a silver fish tail.
The fish scales were silvery white, and if you looked closely you could see them reflecting a myriad of colors, like sparkling diamonds. His hands, his ears, his body, had all undergone incredible changes.
Now, even without the big bubble, Fu Wei can breathe and talk freely on the seabed without worrying about being drowned.
A smile appeared in Fu Wei's eyes: "Thank you, I feel fine now, nothing is wrong."
The high priest nodded and said, "That's good. I'll have someone deliver the medicine over the next few days. You must take it on time. Your physical condition is very poor right now, and your strength is not stable."
"Okay." Fu Wei asked, "Then when can I switch freely between the two forms?"
High Priest: "One month."
Before Fu Wei could express her gratitude, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside. It seemed that Neptune had returned, and the official at the door stopped the person and was unwilling to let him in.
This made the high priest panic. He subconsciously looked at Fu Wei, but saw that Fu Wei's face was pale and not at all panicked. She even said softly, "High Priest, just pretend that this never happened. Treat him as you should. Otherwise, the more panicked you are, the more likely it is that the secret will be revealed."
"As for my tail, just say that I accidentally devoured the leaves of the Sea God Tree, which accelerated the transformation."
"Will he believe it?" It was difficult for the high priest to serve the sea god for many years and was upright. This was the first time he had done such a sneaky thing, and his old bones were almost broken.
Fu Wei: "He may not believe you, but he will definitely believe me. So don't worry, just go through the main entrance."
"Okay." The high priest left feeling guilty.
Fu Wei could vaguely hear their conversation through the door. Neptune seemed a little angry, which made Fu Wei's heart skip a beat. She immediately forgot what she had just said to the high priest.
Fu Wei pulled the quilt over and wanted to cover himself, but found that it was covered with bloodstains. He was so scared that he quickly got out of bed and wanted to hide the quilt under the bed, but he forgot that he had no legs. His tail slipped and Fu Wei leaned forward and fell forward in embarrassment.
At the critical moment, a pair of strong hands held Fuwei firmly, and then with a shake, Fuwei fell into Neptune's arms.
Fu Wei looked up at Neptune, feeling a little guilty.
Neptune's eyes were cold and he did not hide his anger, especially when he saw the blood-stained quilt in Fu Wei's hand, he was extremely angry.
Fu Wei casually put the bedding in the corner and asked him with a smile: "Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow night at the earliest? Why are you back so early?"
"It's early, isn't it? I'm sorry to bother you while you're disposing of the body?"
Fu Wei choked: "I don't quite understand what you are saying."
Neptune carefully laid the man on the bed, his face extremely grim. He asked with difficulty, "Did the high priest say anything to you?"
Fu Wei was puzzled: "Does the High Priest have anything to say to me?"
Neptune: "What did he say to you in the room just now?"
Fu Wei thought for a moment, then began to speak: "He told me not to be so reckless next time and not to eat the leaves of the Sea God Tree casually. He also said that I was weak and asked me to take good care of myself. He would send me some medicine in the next few days, and I should drink it on time to recuperate."
These words were exactly the same as what the high priest had heard him say.
Neptune continued to ask, "Is there nothing else?"
Fu Wei: "Is there anything else? Neptune, you said I was weird last time, but you are the weird one. Is there something between you and the high priest that you are hiding from me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Neptune's lifeline was grasped. As expected, they diverted Neptune's attention and resolved Fuwei's crisis. However, Neptune himself felt a little guilty.
"What could I possibly be hiding from you? Don't let your imagination run wild."
Fu Weiwei narrowed his eyes slightly: "You really didn't hide it from me, then why do you always ask me what the high priest said to me, what the high priest should say to me?"
Seeing Fu Wei's eyes still expressing disbelief, Neptune had no choice but to lie: "...No, just some trivial matters."
However, Neptune was not good at lying, so his lies were perfunctory and not only unconvincing, but after he finished speaking, his earlobes turned red as if they were dripping blood. However, his blue eyes were staring at Fu Wei seriously, and it really looked like that.
Maybe even Neptune himself didn't know that every time he lied to himself, he was so cute, silly and lovable.
Fu Wei nodded cooperatively: "So that's how it is."
Neptune breathed a sigh of relief and then began to secretly say, "Stay away from the high priest from now on. He is not a good person and everything he says is a lie."
Fu Wei: “…” This fish changed its expression so quickly that it clearly failed to show respect to the high priest before.
Fu Wei nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, I understand."
Neptune nodded with satisfaction, and then said happily: "When your body stabilizes, I will take you back to the imperial capital. You will like it there. It is very beautiful."
Fu Wei smiled and said, "Okay."
Poseidon's Abyss is not where Neptune lived. He was absent from Neptune's life for five years and wanted to see the place where he had always lived, walk the path he had walked, appreciate the scenery he had seen, and eat the food he had eaten.
"Can I touch it?" Neptune liked Fuwei's tail very much, but this newborn tail looked so small and fragile, like fragile glass, as if it would break if not handled with care.
This made Neptune both happy and afraid.
But in fact, the mermaid's tail is covered with countless scales, which is the hardest part of their body. One tail can easily cut off a person's head.
Even though Fu Wei is so weak, it is still much stronger than the human body.
Neptune's worries were completely unnecessary.
Fu Wei nodded: "Of course, where do you want to touch?"
Neptune: "Anywhere?"
Fu Wei: "Of course."
Neptune's hand fell on the lower part of Fuwei's waist and stroked it slowly.
It was a very caring action that would not cause Fuwei any pain or discomfort.
But Fuwei was more willing to feel pain at this time.
Because it was just a light touch, Fu Wei felt completely comfortable. He felt like someone had invaded his soul, making him in a state of stress from body to mind. A strange and numb pleasure spread throughout his body, stimulating his scalp to the point of numbing.
Is a mermaid's tail so sensitive?
Fu Wei's eyes turned red and she bit her lips tightly. A tear fell and turned into a round pearl.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Neptune frowned and immediately withdrew his hand, but Fu Wei held his hand.
But it was obvious that Fu Wei's expression was not painful, but rather emotional...
Seeing Fu Wei about to cry, Neptune's eyes became more dangerous and his Adam's apple rolled, but he still restrained himself and did not make any offensive gesture.
Fuwei is a newborn tail, and we can’t mess with it, otherwise it will get hurt, Neptune secretly warned himself.
Fu Wei didn't think so. He put Neptune's hand on his tail again, then shook his whole body and snuggled into Neptune's arms, hooking his arms around Neptune's neck. His skin was lightly pink, like a sweet and delicious peach.
Neptune couldn't help but pinch Fu Wei's waist, covering his back with his big hands, forcing Fu Wei to stick close to him.
"Fuwei, what do you want to do?" Unconsciously, Neptune's voice was stained with lust and became hoarse.
Fu Wei leaned on his shoulder obediently and whispered, "Actually, the high priest said something else that I didn't tell you."
Neptune: "What is it?"
"I have your heart in my body, your blood flows in my veins, and my tail was born because of you. If you want me to recover quickly, the best way is..." Fu Wei paused here, then raised her soft neck and bit Neptune's red earlobe. Her eyes were full of charming charm, and she said vaguely, "Possess me."
