Josh saw the Mermaid King.
There was cold water all around, and various blue gems sparkled at the bottom of the water.
This is where she and the Mermaid King met for the first time.
He had been rescued, but he didn't seem happy. The expression on his face could even be described as gloomy.
Josh came closer curiously: “Mermaid King, why are you here?”
The mermaid king glanced at her and said, "My little queen, you are here."
There was a complicated look in his eyes: "I gave you my mermaid heart and soul-soothing pearl, and you were my queen, but you ran away with my soul-soothing pearl. The underwater volcano erupted, and I became a sinner who betrayed the sea. Only if you come back with me and save the frozen seabed, can I return to the sea again."
Qiao Xi looked at him in amazement: "But..."
She has exchanged the mermaid heart and the soul-calming bead for props and weapons.
Even if she wanted to return it, she couldn't.
The mermaid king looked at her with deep affection in his eyes: "My little queen, I have followed you to one world after another."
A new scene suddenly appeared in front of Josh's eyes.
In the picture, the Mermaid King used his divine power to tear space and jump from one copy to another.
He found Code 7 who had been trapped underground. He landed early and turned into the statue of Poseidon in the ancestral hall. He followed her footsteps and approached her little by little.
Josh was shocked: "Mermaid King, what do you want to do?"
The Mermaid King looked at her steadily: "I want to save you."
"Save me?" Qiao Xi was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
The mermaid king held her face in his hands lovingly: "My little queen, I know what you are going to do. If I tell you that I want you to stop and stay by my side forever, would you be willing?"
Josh shook his head: “No…” He had no idea at all.
No... He seemed to really know.
The Mermaid King came closer to her and said, "When we were under the pool, I used my skills to create an illusion and saw your memories. You wanted to open the way to another world by practicing to become a god. You wanted to leave."
Josh's heart suddenly shrank, he really knew!
She bit her lip: "You..."
The Mermaid King looked at her quietly, with a look in his eyes that she couldn't understand: "If I tell you that you are going to a dead end, will you still insist on going?"
Qiao Xi raised her lips and was about to speak, but the Mermaid King’s fingers covered her lips: “Don’t rush to reject me.”
His fingertips touched her brow.
Josh closed his eyes subconsciously, and some images emerged in his mind.
In the picture, Yu Ze is curled up in the room, searching the Internet for "child-raising manual", "how to get along with girls", "what girls need to buy in daily life", etc.
He was a very lazy person who was afraid of trouble, but he was particularly considerate to her and thoughtfully prepared some spare clothes for her.
The weather is getting cooler, and although she wears very few clothes in her wardrobe, she changes them in time according to the season.
He would search for information on the Internet, check with doctors repeatedly, and finally determine which fresh foods were suitable for her to eat. He would go out every night to purchase the freshest ingredients and cook midnight snacks for her himself.
He would even pay close attention to her eating speed. If she ate quickly and finished everything, it might mean that the food was not prepared well enough. If she ate slowly and had some leftovers, it might mean that the food didn't taste good or the portion was too large.
After every dungeon or meeting, he would go to the supermarket to buy her fresh goat milk and fruit and put them in the small refrigerator in her dormitory.
Seeing that she had nasal discomfort, I would immediately add an air purifier and humidifier to her dormitory.
Later, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked Joyce to take action to clear out the black fans on her account again and again.
When she was secretly left in the copy by Ceci, it was Yu Ze who first discovered the thing that replaced Qiao Xi's soul and returned to the copy to find her in time.
Later, she was bullied by someone from the City Administration Bureau. He took advantage of her unconsciousness and beat up Director Charlotte. The entire City Administration Bureau paid the price for their actions.
Norton, the villain beside Marquis Grant, was also killed by Yu Ze.
When Josh saw him shoot Norton with an expressionless face, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"this……"
The Mermaid King came closer: "Aren't you surprised? He has done so much for you when you can't see him. He likes you."
Josh pursed his lips and stared at Yu Ze who was shooting Norton with an expressionless face on the screen. He felt a little dazed, with some indescribable emotions in his heart, and his heartbeat quickened.
But she has to return to her master eventually. Yu Ze has family and friends here, so it is impossible for him to go back with her.
They shouldn't have any feelings for each other.
But the four words "he likes you" were like a spell, circling in her mind, making her feel restless, her heart beating faster, and mixed with some kind of hidden excitement. It was as if there were 1,000 threads tangled together in her mind, and she couldn't make any sense of it.
The mermaid king lifted her head and asked her to look directly at him: "Tell me, my little queen, do you want to leave him?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Qiao Xi's eyes: "But I have to go back to my master."
The mermaid king's thumb, with its cool webbed fingers, slid across her eyebrows. The deep blue in his eyes was like the vast ocean, infinitely tolerant of the person in front of him: "Silly child, you just need to tell me, are you happy with him?"
Qiao Xi's mind flashed back to every time he fought side by side with Yu Ze.
It is undeniable that although she is not in the habit of relying on others, every time when Yu Ze is by her side, she always feels extra safe when fighting.
Because she knew that even if she couldn't win, it didn't matter, because Yu Ze would always be there to help her.
It was easy, relaxing to be with him.
Josh looked at the mermaid king's deep and tolerant blue eyes in confusion: "I don't know."
The mermaid king suddenly laughed, his face was like a gem reflecting dazzling light in the sun, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
"My good child has learned to lie."
There was a hint of laughter in his deep voice, which inexplicably made her ears red.
Josh looked away guiltily, but the mermaid king held his face and pulled him back, forcing him to look into his eyes.
The Mermaid King looked at her deeply and said, "My queen, my destined love, I need you to make clear your wish. Do you want to stay in this world and survive safely, or go to another world to find your master?"
Qiao Xi gritted his teeth, and Yu Ze and his master's disciples appeared alternately in his mind.
The mermaid king stared at her with a calm and composed expression, but the tip of his tail curled up unconsciously, revealing a hint of nervousness.
