Chapter 218 I really want to see her!
Li Yuan was standing not far away, looking in this direction.
He looked behind Guanlan, where there was no space.
Hua Li had already vanished a second before Li Yuan appeared.
I don't know what's wrong with this child; it's like he's become inseparable from her for the past year. No matter what, he's like a little shadow following her around.
"Your Highness, what brings you here? What will happen if the King finds out?" Guanlan quickly went over. "I'll take you back right away."
Li Yuan didn't move. "Who lives in there?"
Guanlan paused for a moment, then remained silent.
"I know even if you don't say it, it's that sacrificial offering." The little mermaid pursed her lips. "Why did you put him here?"
Because of the people inside, Huali has been spending less and less time with him these days.
He finally found a good friend, but this friend wanted to share half of his love with someone else.
This realization made Xiao Liyuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Huali was such a kind person; she only approached him to talk because she saw him all alone in the coral reef.
Is it because that offering is just like him from before that Karin is paying extra attention to him now?
A flicker of resentment crossed Li Yuan's obsidian-like pupils. He bit his lower lip and turned to leave.
"I'm going to find my father."
He wanted his father to release the offering, or to place it somewhere else.
In short, don't let him take away from Karin's attention; Karin only needs one good friend.
Seeing the two fish and one shrimp swim away, Huali breathed a sigh of relief, put away the card, and turned to swim towards the bird.

Time and time again.
Bubbles of hope silently reform and then silently burst.
If he could communicate through sound, at least he could call out to express his longing, but the little mermaid could do nothing.
This place is his prison. Even though the unseen girl has tried her best to pull him out over the past year, he is always bounced back by an invisible barrier as soon as he reaches the entrance.
At this moment, the unusual movement of the water was like an invisible hand, gently stirring Yan Xi's fragile heartstrings, making him tense yet expectant.
Then, when he was least prepared, it cruelly let go, leaving him to bear the emptiness of a sudden fall alone.
Each disappointment made the little mermaid curl up even more.
His posture while waiting was tinged with a habitual melancholy that he himself was unaware of.
In the dim light, a mist clouded the little mermaid's eyes, and the little pearl fell to the ground with a thud.
A moment later, he carefully picked it up and put it in the old, worn-out bag next to him.
The bag was already full.
He had nothing to give her, but would she like these pearls formed from his tears...?
The water flow is now fluctuating again.
But there was no expectation in the little mermaid's eyes; it was just another trick from the deep sea.
Just as he was about to sink into the shadow of despair—
A giant giant clam shell, with strange spiral patterns on its edges, which he had never seen before, was gently pushed into the cave entrance by the gentle flow of water.
She landed beside him.
Yan Xi's eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up to hand over the small seashell. "You've come?"
Karin sat on the cushion, skillfully communicating with seashells. "I met a few people today and was a little late. Where did we leave off in the story last time?"
......
However, the usually cooperative little mermaid was unusually silent.
He paused, looked up at the unchanging flow of water in front of him, and for the first time, his eyes held a strong curiosity about a person.
I want to touch it, I want to see it.
I want to hear her voice, and even more... I want to clearly perceive her presence.
He grew up alone in the vast ocean since childhood. An old sea turtle once told him with its murky breath that there was a creature on land called a "bird" that had huge wings and could soar freely in the sky.
He wanted to grow up quickly so he could break through the sea and see the birds that could fly with his own eyes.
But what came even earlier than that day was the fate of becoming a sacrifice.
He's just a small fish, how could he possibly stand up to the noble Sea King?
He had long since resigned himself to his fate and was learning to stop thinking as a "human being".
Just when I was feeling utterly hopeless, she appeared.
Now this idea has suddenly erupted like a deep-sea volcano.
—I want to know what she looks like.
I long to know what she looks like!
The longing for birds may be out of reach, but the desire for "her" has become a more surging obsession than the will to survive.
I want to see her so badly, even just for a moment...

"I beg you to release him!"
Li Yuan frowned. "Three hundred years is too far away." He pointed to the coral outside the palace. "This coral is only up to my calf now. The time for the sacrifice will only come when it becomes a huge red coral reef."
"Let him go?" The Sea King looked at Li Yuan's resolute gaze. "Have you been seeing anyone lately?"
Li Yuan was startled and immediately shook his head.
Aquaman stared at him silently for two seconds before lowering his gaze.
After everyone left, he immediately summoned Pearl, "Has Your Highness been acting strangely lately?"
Pearl glanced at the handsome male merfolk standing behind the Sea King, then knelt on the ground and answered truthfully, "Your Highness often talks to the air, and has placed many pearl treasures in the side hall, and does not allow anyone to disturb him."
Aquaman's lips curled into a cold smile.
"A trivial skill."
With a flick of his wrist, a mirror with ancient patterns suddenly appeared in his palm.
This is "sea soul copper" deposited over tens of thousands of years in the deep sea, which can reflect the origin and ignore barriers.
Whether it's the soul, fragments of consciousness, or even the intention to infiltrate through illusions, or the phantom projected by magical artifacts, everything can be seen clearly.
They dare to plot against Li Yuan...
If Aquaman's eyes are cold, then you should be prepared to die.

Huali's eyelids twitched suddenly as she was telling a story to the little mermaid.
In that instant, she clearly sensed the momentary distortion and compression of space.
At the same time, the image of Ao Bai in her mind looked up, gazing at the deep, dark seabed in the distance...
"Host, the opportunity for the first layer of your dream to shatter is about to arrive..."
