Chapter 271
But it's clear that the mermaid civilization seems to have created gods!
That's terrifying!
If they were to invade human civilization, could humanity stop them?
Therefore, even knowing that he would anger these mermaids and potentially endanger his life, he still chose to test the waters.
It must be said that Bai Ruiwen lived up to the title of "male protagonist," with an open mind, a heart for the world, and a determination to benefit and protect his country.
And so it is true; putting everything else aside, even Wen Xin acknowledges that he is a heroic figure.
The Fourth Elder's face was indeed filled with murderous intent. "What do you, a human, want to do?"
The Second Elder raised his hand to calm the Fourth Elder down. He looked at Bai Ruiwen and said, "Mr. Bai, it's true that you've been kind to us, but please don't ask too many questions about us mermaids."
Bai Ruiwen pursed his lips and said, "I understand."
He paused, took a deep breath, and said sincerely, "Second Elder, I know you have always been very concerned about humans stealing mermaid genes and cloning mermaids with defects, but in recent years, humans have regarded mermaids as national treasures and given them the best care and living conditions..."
The Fourth Elder interrupted him sarcastically: "If one day we mermaids capture you humans and keep you as pets, erasing your freedom and intelligence, but also giving you the best living conditions, how would you feel? Grateful to us? Or resentful?"
This pointed question left Bai Ruiwen pale and speechless.
No one likes being imprisoned, especially mermaids who are highly civilized and intelligent beings. How could anyone feel good watching their disabled kin being treated like pets, enjoyed, amused, and exploited by humans? How could they not feel resentful?
The fact that the Mermaid Empire didn't mobilize a large army to attack humans is already considered merciful.
Do you really want mermaids to change their opinion of humans and develop a positive feeling towards them?
What kind of daydreams are you having?
Bai Ruiwen also knew that this was a long-standing feud between the two clans, and it couldn't be resolved with just a few words.
He sighed heavily and said nothing more.
"Mr. Bai, your injuries haven't healed yet, you should go back and rest."
The mermaid girl standing on the mobility scooter asked softly with concern.
Not all mermaids possess the formidable strength of Poxu, who can freely control water and levitate.
On land, mermaids, whether or not they have split into legs, prefer to use vehicles for transportation.
Well, they don't bother to learn how humans walk on two legs, since mobility scooters are faster and more convenient than walking on two legs, and they even come with a mist humidifier so the fish tail won't get dry and uncomfortable.
The mermaid girl is the second elder's daughter, named Lin Ran. She is also one of the candidates for empress and imperial concubine appointed by the empire for Bo Xu.
Compared to the ambitious Fourth Elder's daughter, Lily, who was determined to become the Emperor's woman, Lin Ran just wanted to go through the motions peacefully.
She had no ambition and was afraid of the emperor's cold power. She couldn't imagine how terrified she would be living next to such a terrifying god.
Lin Ran felt relaxed and happy when she learned that Huang had chosen a partner.
And now...
Lin Ran looked tenderly at the human youth in front of her, her heart pounding as she thought of how he had risked his life to save her.
If Wen Xin were here, she would definitely give the male lead a thumbs up for his charm!
However, the Second Elder was in a much worse situation.
The emperor married a human woman, and his daughter also fell in love with a human youth...
But what is all this?
He wanted to scold his daughter, but couldn't bear to, so he could only silently go bald.
Of course, what made the Second Elder even more frustrated was that they knew the Emperor lived on a nearby planet, but they just couldn't find him!
The Second Elder knew that the Emperor did not want them to find his whereabouts; even if they turned the entire universe upside down, they would not find him.
With such an emperor, the merfolk leaders could only suppress their urge to vomit blood and frantically continue their search, constantly trying to request an audience with him.
...
On a breezy morning, Wen Xin woke up to find the peach blossoms in full bloom, their pink petals dancing in the air, an unbelievable sight.
Bo Xu remembered that she had said she liked peach blossoms, so she had Fan Yi cultivate this ancient plant of humankind early on.
A few days ago, Bo Xu had just cultivated a few plants, and he personally planted them in her small courtyard.
Wen Xin raised her hand, and a peach blossom fell into her palm.
From as far back as she could remember, all she had seen was the barrenness, filth, and turmoil of the chaotic planet, and because of this, she longed for all beautiful things.
Bo Xu knew this, which is why he always gave her the most beautiful and stable life.
The mermaid reached out and hugged her from behind, gently rubbing her fair and warm cheek.
Wen Xin felt a little ticklish from his rubbing, so she turned her head away and laughed, "How about we have breakfast in the yard today?"
For any request she made, Bo Xu always simply replied with "yes".
"Master, the Second Elder is requesting to contact you again."
The two had just finished breakfast when Fan Yi came over to report to Bo Xu on the movements of the mermaids outside.
Wen Xin was slightly surprised, "They haven't left yet?"
It's been a month, and those mermaids are still lingering nearby?
On that day, Bo Xu was so angry that she wanted to wipe out all the mermaids who were unkind to her.
After being stopped by Wen Xin, he took his beloved wife home, his mind filled with concern for whether she had been frightened.
He knew his beloved wife wasn't hurt, and thankfully she wasn't; otherwise, he wouldn't have let the matter drop so easily that day.
But she has always been timid and fragile. What if she gets scared by that group of idiots?
Especially after Bo Xu saw the mecha video and learned that they had attacked Wen Xin first, attempting to force her into the black hole turbulence to fend for herself, the Mermaid King became even more enraged.
If Wen Xin hadn't stopped him, Bo Xu would definitely have thrown that mermaid spaceship into the black hole turbulence to experience what it was like!
Piloting a spaceship to persecute and hunt down a lone mech—those idiots from the Mermaid Empire are really getting more and more ambitious.
A bunch of shameless bastards!
Kill them!
Wen Xin had no choice but to hug her menacing merman husband, kissing him repeatedly to comfort him.
Exactly, she couldn't help but think about it?
Was she being hunted down, or was it him?
Or rather, who is truly frightened?
Bo Xu held her tightly in his arms, gently responding to her kiss, lightly licking her lips like a large beast soothing a small animal.
“I know you’re kind-hearted and can’t stand those things. I’ll go kill them myself and come right back. Don’t be afraid, just wait for me at home.”
Wen Xin breathed softly, her almond-shaped eyes, misty with tears, filled with silence.
So even after all that comforting, he's still getting angry?
She glared at him, "If we kill them, we'll both become wanted criminals in the Mermaid Empire."
Bo Xu scoffed, "So what? Let them come if they dare."
Ha, once he cuts off their system, they won't be able to come even if they want to.
And even if a mermaid army were to invade, would Bo Xu be afraid?
At most, we'll kill them all!
Wen Xin: "..."
