The patriarch gave Ying Xixi some instructions and then left with the other tribesmen.
When Ying Xixi saw her tribesmen leaving, she asked the system in her heart.
"System, how is Lin Huaiye?! Did you save him? System?"
Ying Xixi called out several times, but the system didn't respond. Her heart sank to the bottom.
She looked a little dazed as she teased the two newborn cubs.
The system said that if Lin Huaiye died, this plane would collapse.
There is no sign of the plane collapsing now, so that should mean that Lin Huaye is not dead yet, right?
Ying Xixi was lost in her thoughts and had no idea that the soul of Lin Huaye, whom she was worried about, was by her side at this moment.
Lin Huaiye floated to Ying Xixi's side and restrained himself by just reaching out to touch the top of her head.
He didn't know how long his soul could stay here. At least before he had to leave, he just wanted to stay with Xixi and the children.
Lin Huaiye just floated beside Ying Xixi, quietly accompanying her and the children.
But after a while, he felt a pulling sensation, as if something invisible was pulling his soul away from here.
Lin Huaiye tried to struggle, but it was useless.
His eyes flashed and he saw his own body.
Next to his body is a mermaid with a black fishtail.
"Huh? Your body and soul are both here. It seems like it's not time for you to die yet.
How could a human like you come to our mermaid territory?"
The witch asked doubtfully.
"Is it not time for me to die yet?"
Lin Huaiye was a little surprised. "Ms. Mermaid, can you tell that I'm not dead yet? Do you have a way to bring me back to life?"
The witch nodded and said, "It's easy for you to come back to life, but you have to answer my question first.
And you can call me a witch."
Witch?
Lin Huaiye immediately thought of what Ying Xixi had told him before.
The reason she grew human legs was because she drank a potion made by a witch.
The witch Xixi was talking about might be the witch in front of her.
"Okay, actually I'm here to look for my fiancée. My fiancée's name is Ying Xixi, she's a mermaid from your mermaid tribe."
Hearing this, the witch looked at Lin Huaiye.
"So it's you. You know Xixi is a mermaid, aren't you afraid?"
Lin Huaiye shook his head, "I'm not afraid, no matter what she is, I love her.
I wanted her to stay with me, but she refused and ran away from me twice."
"It's normal for her to run away. I don't know if you know that she just gave birth to cubs a few months ago.
We mermaids give birth in the deep sea.
Otherwise, the baby fish will easily die.
Even if the baby fish born on the shore are healthy, they are likely to die without the deep sea environment.
Xixi was right to escape back, but it seems that she didn't tell you about it."
The witch's words made Lin Huaiye instantly understand why Xixi didn't tell him about this.
Because Xixi felt that he would rather let the child die than let her leave.
Lin Huaye smiled bitterly. Why would Xixi think that way about him?
It seems that his image in Xixi's heart is really too bad.
“Mr. Human, I wonder how much you know about us mermaids.
Do you really want to be with Xixi?"
The witch looked at Lin Huaye's bitter expression and said a few more words.
"Of course, no matter what the cost, I just want to be with Xixi and our child!
I really know very little about mermaids, because there is no information about them in the human world.
I only know about the mermaid tribe from Xixi."
"Then you must not know that we mermaids can't stay on land for long."
The witch waved her black fish tail and said, "Besides, us mermaids have a very long lifespan. We are considered adults at the age of one hundred, and then we will have to go through countless long and boring centuries.
But you are a human being, and the human lifespan is at most a hundred years old.
If you are with Xixi, maybe when you are old, she will still look the same as she does now.
When you are old and die, Xixi can find a human man to be with again.
Of course, this is just my assumption, Xixi may not do this.
But by then, all you will bring to her is endless loneliness and longing."
Having said that, the witch looked at Lin Huaye indifferently.
“If you really love Xixi, then let her go.
When the time comes, you can take your human children to the human world and raise them.
From time to time, your family can also reunite on shore.
This is good for both of you.”
Lin Huaiye smiled. "Witch, did Xixi ask you to say these words to me, asking you to act as a lobbyist? Or are you saying this after seeing many cases of mermaids and humans falling in love but ending in tragedy?"
The witch looked away, "Xixi didn't tell me this."
"That's your own opinion. You're right. Mermaids have a long lifespan, while humans only have a hundred years.
I am just a passer-by in my long life.
When I am old and die, Xixi may forget me after a long time.
Or maybe, what I left Xixi was indeed long loneliness and longing.
But what if I must be with Xixi forever?
Witch, if you can make a potion that turns a mermaid's tail into human legs, then you can definitely make a potion that turns a human's legs into a mermaid's tail, or in other words, turn a human into a mermaid, right?
Lin Huaiye's words shocked the witch so much that her eyes widened.
"You, you want to become a mermaid?!"
"Well, as long as I become a mermaid, I can be with Xixi forever, right?"
When Lin Huaye thought that his dream would come true, he was so happy that he almost laughed.
The witch had a complicated expression, "Life in the deep sea is boring and long, far less rich and exciting than in the human world.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many mermaids running into the human world.
Are you really willing to give up everything in the human world and come to the deep sea?"
"Of course I am willing. In my past twenty years of life, I have never wanted anything. Whether it's material things or wealth, I have never lacked anything.
But since I met Xixi, I finally got what I wanted.
I just want her, I want to be with her forever and ever, live together.
Since Xixi is unwilling to abandon everything in the deep sea to be with me, then I will abandon everything on land, become her kind, and be with her forever! "
The determination and crazy persistence in Lin Huaiye's eyes shocked the witch so much that she was speechless for a moment.
It took her a while to find her voice again.
"In the past, only mermaids would give up their voices and tails for love, even if it meant turning into sea foam to come ashore and be with humans.
I have never seen a human being as crazy as you."
