Chapter 87 New Friends? I Don't Want Them
Yuanyuan was both angry and heartbroken at his stubbornness.
She knew Yu Na's temperament; once he made up his mind, it was hard to change it. But she had finally pulled him back from the brink of death, and she couldn't just watch him walk towards death again.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and softened her tone: "Fish, I know you're reluctant to leave this place, but have you ever thought that if you die, you'll really have nothing left?"
"You will never see your people again, nor will you see me again."
"You're alive now, at least you can come back and see, but if you stay here, your life will soon end, and then you really won't be able to see anything anymore."
Yuanyuan's eyes reddened. "You've lost your ability to reproduce and can't return to the ocean, so your bodily functions will deteriorate faster than other mermaids."
She grasped Yu Na's hand, "Come with me!"
"I can bring you back here another time, but if you don't leave now, there really won't be a future."
Yu Na stared blankly at Yuan Yuan, her eyes filled with struggle.
He couldn't bear to leave this place, couldn't bear to leave those lost companions. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of never seeing Yuanyuan again, never seeing those cubs that hadn't grown up yet.
Seeing the wavering in his eyes, Yuanyuan continued to persuade him, "Those cubs have now returned to the sea, and they will grow up safely."
Your most important thing right now is to live well.
Yu Na's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word.
He looked down at his new skin, then looked up at Yuanyuan's red, tear-filled eyes, which were full of struggle.
"I..." Her voice choked with sobs, "Can I really come back?"
"sure!"
Yuanyuan nodded. "When you recover next spring, the other grown-up members of the clan will also come back. If you want to come back and visit, I will bring you back."
Yu Na remained silent for a long time. He glanced once more at the scattered skeletons, at the crevice in the stone that had witnessed the birth and death of his people, and finally nodded gently.
"Okay, I'll leave with you."
He turned his gaze back to Yuanyuan, "As long as I can come back and see this place again, I'm willing to go with you."
"Mmm," Yuanyuan said with delight, hugging the fish tightly.
"Don't worry, Fish, I will take good care of you and make sure you live a healthy life. I will definitely bring you here to see the world!"
"good."
"Gurgle!"
As you relax, hunger strikes.
Yuanyuan patted her flat little belly, took out milk and bread from her space, and also gave Yu Na the fresh meat she had prepared for the little wolf and snake.
Eating bread, looking at the water.
Sunlight shone on the water, creating ripples, but Yuanyuan's thoughts drifted away.
Having witnessed the horrific ordeal of a mermaid giving birth, she truly understood for the first time a mother's love for her child. That kind of love, willing to give everything, even her life, for her child, reminded her of her own mother.
Thinking of her mother's experiences, Yuanyuan's eyes welled up with tears again, and she longed to hug her mother.
But she couldn't just go back like that.
The wolf cub and the snake cub have not been found yet.
An accident occurred during her previous journey, and she got separated from the little wolf and the little snake.
Later, being busy helping the mermaids, he had to put the search for them on hold.
The thought that the little wolf and the little snake might still be waiting for her alone somewhere, possibly in danger, filled Yuanyuan with guilt.
"System, can you help me find the wolf cub and the snake cub?"
【Can. 】
Even if it was my own mistake, the system can still help.
The wolf cub and snake cub are 400 kilometers from their host's current location and are not in immediate danger.
"..."
400 kilometers?
In modern terms, that would be considered crossing provincial borders.
"Can you take me there? I want to see them right now."
It would take her about a month to get there!
【Can. 】
Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.
She turned to look at the fish in the pond, "Fish, I need to go get my two other friends, let's go together!"
Yu Na nodded.
………
Yuanyuan was teleported nearby and heard the two little ones arguing.
"Hiss hiss hiss!" The little snake said the little wolf was stupid, always leading the wrong way.
"Awooo!" the little wolf protested, saying that if it was so powerful, why didn't it go find it itself?
It looked like a fight was about to break out.
"Little wolf! Little snake!"
Yuanyuan called out from afar and was about to rush over when the snow-white wolf heard the sound, kicked the little snake away, and pounced over.
It was moving so fast that you could only see a white blur.
The fluffy head bumped right into her chest, letting out a whimper that was both aggrieved and excited.
"Awooo, awooo!"
Yuanyuan, where have you been? It took you so long to find us.
The little wolf's voice was filled with accusation, his wolf eyes were wet, and his pointed ears drooped slightly, "I thought you had forgotten about us!"
Yuanyuan hugged it tightly, feeling the warm, soft fur in her arms, and a lump formed in her throat.
"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I only found you now, and you've had to suffer."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on her wrist. The small snake had already coiled around her, its icy body pressed against her skin, tightening its grip.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
You're not allowed to leave me behind again. You have to take me with you wherever you go from now on.
"Hiss..." The stupid wolf can be thrown away.
"..."
"I was the one who met Yuanyuan first, so you should be the one who was left behind."
The little wolf immediately bristled, lifted its head from Yuanyuan's arms, and bared its teeth at the little snake.
"If it weren't for your bad advice, I would have found Yuanyuan long ago."
"It's clearly your stupidity that almost got eaten."
The little snake tightened its grip on Yuanyuan's wrist even more. "If it weren't for me, you would already be a pile of poop."
"..."
"If you hadn't eaten its cubs, would I have been caught?" The little wolf got angry as soon as he said this.
He didn't get a single bite, and almost became food himself.
"What exactly happened?"
When she asked the two little ones, they fell silent again.
“Yuanyuan…”
The sound of fish hooting came from behind her, and Yuanyuan remembered him and quickly turned around.
Yu Na stared straight at her, the little wolf, and the little snake, a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Only then did the wolf and snake notice the little boy following behind her.
The little wolf narrowed his eyes, sizing up Yu Na from head to toe, letting out a cold snort, his eyes filled with wariness. "Yuan Yuan, who is he?"
The little snake narrowed its eyes dangerously, "A mermaid?"
"That's right, he's a fish from the merfolk, and he's also my friend."
Yuanyuan quickly explained, "From now on, we're all friends, so you can't bully her, okay?"
Yuanyuan only just realized that Yu Na, in human form, was actually a child about the same age as her.
According to their mermaid age, he was only a little over a year old.
He wasn't even on the list of people to reproduce.
I don't know how they persuaded the shaman to let him go with them.
"Friends? I don't want that!"
Yuanyuan, you only need me and the bad snake.
No need for other friends, especially those from the water…
"Little Wolf!!!"
The little wolf was yelled at, and it pouted and stopped talking.
