Yu Wanwan, with his arm around her waist, suddenly realized something and couldn't help but turn around to look at Yu Ling.
When Yu Ling saw that the little female actually remembered him, he smiled slightly and said, "Go away. Next time I see you, I won't let you off the hook."
This was the first time Yu Wanwan had seen him smile since they had known each other for so many days.
Yu Ling is a cold and aloof person, but when he smiles, he has two sweet dimples on his face, which instantly washes away his coldness and makes him look sunny and gentle.
Yu Wanwan blinked and said very seriously, "Thank you, Yu Ling."
Yu Ling watched them leave.
Zhiyang left with Yu Wanwan, but Yu Ling still had things to do.
He swam forward carrying the corpses of the dead mermaids, and before him appeared a raging whirlpool, a killer of the deep sea, something that all mermaids feared.
Yu Ling was standing not far away; if he got any closer, he would be swept away and swallowed up.
For him, the elder was his faith, and he obeyed the elder's orders. However, after meeting Yu Wanwan, he inadvertently gave his heart away. He did not want Yu Wanwan to die, so he betrayed his faith for the sake of his heart.
The past few days with the little female seemed so vivid in his mind; her soft and lovely smile, the expressions on her face when she chatted with him—he would never forget them for the rest of his life.
Now let him do this last thing for her heart, help her escape, clean up the rest, and atone for his betrayal with his death.
He glanced back in the direction Yu Wanwan had gone, his eyelashes fluttered, and then he swam in without hesitation.
In an instant, the vortex shredded his body, and blood briefly stained the vortex red.
Until his death, Yu Ling had a slight smile on his face.
He thought that meeting Yu Wanwan made his life short but fulfilling.
He never regretted it, even though Yu Wanwan didn't know what he had done for her.
The whirlpool, like a man-eating monster, chewed up Yu Ling and the mermaids, then spat out the severed limbs and remains, and continued to move slowly through the sea, still seemingly unsatisfied.
Zhiyang led Yu Wanwan to swim towards the sea.
Along the way, Yu Wanwan kept looking back. Zhiyang noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "Are you worried about Yu Ling? Do you like him?"
"No," Yu Wanwan quickly denied, "Yu Ling helped me, and I'm very grateful to him."
Zhiyang curled the corners of her lips: "You don't seem to mind that he captured you."
Yu Wanwan remained silent.
Strictly speaking, I wasn't exactly captured by Yu Ling, and he had taken good care of me along the way.
Thinking of this, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Will Yu Ling be punished because of me?"
The sea was almost in sight, and Zhiyang quickened her pace upstream: "Don't worry, the elder values him highly, he'll be fine."
The two emerged from the water and watched as the bubbles on Yu Wanwan's head burst. A strange emotion flashed in Zhiyang's eyes, but she quickly composed herself and knelt down to let Yu Wanwan come down.
Yu Wanwan lay on his back and said, "It's good that Yu Ling is alright. I will definitely stay in the tribe from now on. It's too uncomfortable to be in the sea."
Zhiyang chuckled: "It's good that you know. Don't let Yuling catch you again next time, or we'll see if I'll come to save you then."
Yu Wanwan stuck out her tongue and said shyly, "I will never be caught by Yu Ling again. Thank you this time, Zhiyang."
"At least you have a conscience."
After tugging at Yu Wanwan, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
Zhiyang originally planned to take Yu Wanwan to the edge of Qingwan Forest, but as soon as they left the seaside, they encountered Feihan circling down.
Upon seeing Fei Han, Yu Wanwan immediately struggled to get off Zhi Yang and excitedly called his name.
"Feihan, I'm here!"
"Wanwan!" Feihan took the little female from Zhiyang's arms and held her close, nuzzling her affectionately.
Like a bird returning to its nest, Yu Wanwan clung tightly to Fei Han.
Zhiyang tightened her grip, then turned away, leaving the time for their reunion to them.
After a while, Fei Han carefully put Yu Wanwan down and asked, "Wanwan, what happened to your leg? Why are you so hot?"
She had injured her leg and developed a fever. Although the fever had subsided, her temperature was still a little higher than usual.
"I'm fine now." Yu Wanwan didn't want Fei Han to worry, so she just brushed it off and then asked, "Fei Han, you came to find me, so where are Mo Zhou and Bai Jing?"
She's been captured for so long, Fei Han must have brought Mo Zhou and Bai Jing to rescue her.
Speaking of this, Fei Han felt very regretful.
That day, he lured away most of the mermaids, intending to immediately return to find Yu Wanwan, but he was caught off guard and was still stabbed by a mermaid's harpoon.
He thought it would just hurt for a moment and then be fine, but the merfolk were despicable and shameless, putting a drug that would make people faint on the harpoons.
Fei Han flew in a daze for a while. In order not to fall and be killed by the mermaids, she had to find a place to stop and wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off. As a result, she stopped for a whole day and night.
When he went over again, Yu Wanwan was gone.
Fei Han immediately returned to the tribe and told Bai Jing about it. Mo Zhou couldn't wait for Bai Jing to gather the men and had already set off first. Fei Han hovered in the sky, trying to use his perspective to find Yu Wanwan's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he actually found her.
"Bai Jing and the others are right behind us, but Mo Zhou has probably already gone into the sea," Fei Han said, pointing behind her.
Yu Wanwan said anxiously, "Then let's go find Mo Zhou first. I'm no longer in the sea. He'll definitely be in danger if he goes alone."
