Chapter 22: My father-in-law is so scary

Chapter 22: My father-in-law is so scary

The fairy tale world is almost over and something like this is happening?

Lu Zhenqiu walked to Chu Chengan's side and saw that his eyes had begun to roll up. He had a dull expression on his face and his whole body was twitching as if he was dying.

Lu Zhenqiu thought, oh no, Chu Chengan must be suffocating to death due to lack of oxygen for too long.

He couldn't care less at this moment.

In front of his father, the King of the Sea, and all the fish guards in the palace, he kissed Chu Chengan directly on the lips.

Of course, he himself did not think that this was some kind of intimate activity. He felt that he was transmitting oxygen to his companions, that he was saving people, and that it was a very brave and great "sacrifice".

Chu Cheng'an came back to life because of new oxygen, but his eyes were wide open and he looked overly shocked, as if he was about to faint because of the huge shock.

His companion who was rescuing him closed his eyes, thinking that he was still unconscious, and continued to hold his head down, trying to pump as much oxygen into him as possible.

This, this, this... Chu Cheng'an was so frightened that he couldn't describe it.

Isn't Lu Zhenqiu really too reckless? If he were the character of the Little Mermaid, he might not do such a thing for Lu Zhenqiu.

Chu Cheng'an really should reflect on why he doesn't have the same spirit of sacrifice and awareness as Lu Zhenqiu.

The air pressure in the entire palace is now extremely low, with huge waves, strong winds or underwater tornadoes that may come at any time.

The two people who were still trying to survive were extremely nervous.

When the oxygen was sufficient and Chu Chengan was able to move, he quickly pushed away the little mermaid in front of him. His humble desire to survive told him that he didn't want to die yet...

He could sense several murderous gazes, but of course the most resentful and angry one was the murderous gaze of the mermaid's father, the old sea king, who was in the center of the hall. It really was that if he looked at him, his life would be shortened by several years.

The old Sea King certainly could not accept that his little daughter did such a rebellious thing, and he could not accept even more that the son of the wicked old king who killed his wife wanted to be with his little daughter.

Fortunately, no bloody disaster occurred in the end. Only a group of fish chiefs rushed up and frightened them.

This proves that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. This also applies to the half-human, half-beast mermaids.

The same went for Chu Cheng'an. He was closely protected by the little mermaid, and for a while, no other fish could harm him.

So, the old Sea King could only drive both of them out of the palace in a fit of rage, leaving them outside to fend for themselves, hoping that they would never be seen again.

…

Chu Chengan, who had finally saved his life, had a lot to complain about.

He wanted to speak, but he was almost suffocating in the sea...

Lu Zhenqiu was afraid that he was suffering from hypoxia again and needed mouth-to-mouth rescue, which was quite embarrassing for him.

So he pulled Chu Cheng'an's arm and swam upstream desperately, using all his strength as a mermaid. He swam to the back, so fast that he almost felt dizzy. Finally, before he died, he swam to the protection of the huge rock.

Chu Chengan popped his head out and tried desperately to breathe...

After taking a break, he opened his eyes again...

Is the outside world he sees still the world he knows?

The scenery that appeared before their eyes almost made them dizzy.

From the outside, it could be said that the entire world was on fire at this time. It was not so much raining fire from the sky, but fire was literally pouring down from the sky into the sea.

The castle on the distant mountain was burning fiercely, the forest had already been burned into a sea of ​​fire, and there was no place on the entire continent where people could stand...

Even though the two of them could now hide under a huge rock, they could still feel how hot the sea was. It was so hot that it felt like they were soaking in a hot spring over 40 degrees.

Moreover, the temperature is still rising continuously, and sooner or later it will exceed the maximum temperature that humans can withstand.

Chu Cheng'an couldn't wait to take off his prince's casual clothes. He had actually wanted to take off this cumbersome clothing for a long time. Before, Lu Zhenqiu always told him that he couldn't be naked in front of the system in case he committed a foul.

Chu Chengan thought, his life was about to be lost, so why bother about the foul? He just wanted to escape.

In the passion, he even took off his underwear, leaving only a pair of trousers. He finally controlled himself and stopped. Before declaring that he could return to the real world, he had to keep his temper.

Lu Zhenqiu thought he could still endure it, so he just removed a few troublesome decorations on the hunting suit.

…

The sea water is really getting warmer. They have both heard of the phrase: boiling a frog in warm water.

"Is there any next mission? We can't do any mission related to the ground now. If we are too late in the sea... we will all be boiled into soup..." Chu Chengan's face and neck were all red from the heat. When he was sick as a child, the heat of the sauna his mother gave him was not much different.

"...When I swam up from the front, the system gave me a new task."

"Ah? Really? There's more to come? I'm still going to have to torment you... But why didn't I receive any notifications? Could it be that Prince William's mission has been completed?"

Chu Cheng'an was unusually optimistic. In fact, it was because he had triggered the S-level difficulty that the system wanted to keep him in the map where natural disasters occurred frequently for a while longer, so it deliberately delayed giving him tasks.

Lu Zhenqiu said again: "I didn't hear it clearly before, please wait a moment, I will play it again."

"Oh, go ahead." It turns out that it can be replayed, which is quite friendly to people whose memory will suffer indirect amnesia after seven seconds.

Lu Zhenqiu came back soon after listening, but his face did not look very good.

"What's wrong?" Chu Cheng'an asked him concernedly.

"The system told me that the human princess, Hannah, is not dead yet. I drank the potion, but the curse is still in effect on me. If I don't get rid of my love rival before dark today, I will turn into invisible bubbles in the night..."

"Ah? In the original book, I remember that it turned into foam in the early morning? This broken system is making things more difficult for us!"

“Ah, don’t…” Stop scolding the system. Have you forgotten about the last time I increased the difficulty for you?

Lu Zhenqiu didn't know that this time the system had already increased the difficulty for Chu Cheng'an, and the world they both experienced together. Otherwise, the natural disasters wouldn't have been so terrible, and the human king, the eldest princess, and the old sea king wouldn't have been so violent and rude to them.

Before Chu Chengan was caught by the system rabbit and taught a lesson, he realized his mistake in time and corrected himself: "What I mean is that this setting is a good change, and it is very innovative. We want it to be different from other stories, so that it will be novel and exciting to play!"

“…”

The rabbit put down its club, and before the players noticed it, it retreated back and continued to sleep in its own alien space.

"Okay, without further ado, where are we going to find Hannah again?"

How could Yan Qing not die? He saw with his own eyes that Lu Zhenqiu inserted his carving needle into someone's neck, and the person fell to the ground and died a short while later...

Yes, Yan Qing did say that she took the black cloak from the old witch in the previous level, which was an extra life! He had overlooked it...

Lu Zhenqiu said: "In the current environment, she could only be at the bottom of the sea... Ordinary people can't live in the sea for that long. If she is fine, then the only possibility is..."

The Sea Witch! It must be her.

Time is running out, Lu Zhenqiu has to quickly tell Chu Chengan the identity of the sea witch who gave him the transformation potion. She must have made some kind of deal with Yan Qing, as the sea witch loves to make deals with people the most.

…

"It's the sea witch..." Lu Zhenqiu was halfway through his words when he suddenly covered his throat in pain.

Because he mentioned the Sea Witch, the Sea Witch's spell took effect and his voice was taken away by the potion she created.

In the original story, the sea witch was worried that the little mermaid would tell others about her, so she silenced her voice at the beginning.

This made her dumb at the prince's ball, unable to tell the prince that she was the one who saved him.

The human princess got nothing for free.

This passage has always been a source of dissatisfaction for readers.

Seeing how uncomfortable Lu Zhenqiu was, Chu Chengan patted his back to help him breathe. Fortunately, the sore throat only lasted for a short while and did not affect his normal breathing. After he recovered, he found that he could no longer utter any syllables in his throat...

Lu Zhenqiu pointed to his neck and shook his head.

Chu Chengan had read the original novel. Seeing that Lu Zhenqiu could no longer speak, he understood that the potion that turned the fish tail into human legs still existed. At first, he thought it was strange that only the legs of the little mermaid were in great pain. Is it really okay that the system is not faithful to the original novel?

Chu Chengan comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, just bear with it, this game world will end soon."

He had heard Lu Zhenqiu mention the word Sea Witch before, so he knew that they were going to go find the Sea Witch next. As for where she was, he didn't need to worry at all, because she was the one who gave Lu Zhenqiu the potion, so Lu Zhenqiu must know where she was.

After adjusting his breathing, Chu Chengan sank down with Lu Zhenqiu.

They did not return to the mermaid palace at the bottom, but swam forward all the way west.

The curse of the sea witch is that if he fails to kill the human princess before dark, he will turn into foam. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The sun will eventually disappear in the west. It just so happens that the sea witch also lives in that place. Is this a coincidence?

Now the surrounding weather environment has been destroyed, and everything is dark red. I can't tell what time it is. I can only make a preliminary judgment based on the temperature and body feeling. It should be around 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It is very dark in autumn. It's not too late, it's expected to get dark at 7pm, and they have less than 3 hours left.
