"At that time, everyone in the clan urged me to kill her..."
As he spoke, his thoughts seemed to be brought back to a long, long time ago: "But Cecilia is my child after all, how can I bear to do that?"
"So, I taught them to love their younger sister since they were young. I thought that if she lived well enough in the tribe, she wouldn't fall in love with a human man so easily..."
"What a pity...this is fate!"
As he spoke, he looked at Yunchu with a kind smile on his face, completely different from when he was educating Cecilia outside just now.
"Since you're here...that means everything still happened, right?"
He actually began to wipe away his tears as he spoke. Yunchu could only nod. "Cecilia made her drink a magic potion, which made her unable to protect her own people... Besides that, Cecilia gave her to Charles, the human prince Cecilia loved. He cried all his tears, plucked all his scales, cut off his tail, and threw him back into the sea."
The Mermaid King naturally knew that this "she" referred to the original owner Wei Weien.
A trace of guilt crossed the Mermaid King's wrinkled face. "Among the children, Weiweien is the eldest, the calmest, and the most sensible. Yet, I feel so guilty towards her."
But he had a dream last night. He dreamed that his most well-behaved and sensible eldest daughter was covered in blood. She had lost her fish tail and could only sink in the dark sea. He seemed to hear her calling him, asking him to save her.
When he woke up, he was still hoping that it was just a dream, a nightmare.
But when he saw her today, he realized that everything she had experienced was true.
"I've read in ancient books that after a person dies, if they have any last wishes, their soul will go to the underworld and ask the people there to fulfill their wishes. The price is their soul in exchange."
Yunchu nodded, that was indeed the case.
When she opened the small world before, she needed to consume the power of her soul, and she really wanted to collect that person's soul.
Later, she became smarter and grabbed some systems from the six realms for her own use.
Later, he met the naive 007.
"Then can you..." The old face trembled, the mustache on his chin trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, he hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"Since I've used her body, I'm half your daughter. If you have any needs, just tell me directly."
The Mermaid King closed his eyes, as if if he closed his eyes, the tears in his eyes would not flow out.
"Can you give her soul back to me? I'm willing to exchange mine for it."
He mustered up his courage and finally spoke out what was on his mind.
Yunchu pursed his lips, and for a moment, he didn't know how to continue the topic.
Family love is such a strange thing.
Some people spend their entire lives pursuing something, but they never get it.
But some people have so much, but treat it like worthless.
[Host, it’s people who are strange, not emotions.]
007 sensed what Yunchu was thinking and added his own thoughts.
Yun Chu sighed and shook his head at the Mermaid King.
The mermaid king could hardly contain the desolation in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it."
"Do whatever you want. Even if you kill Cecilia now..."
He won't stop you.
He immediately ordered that all clan affairs be handed over to Yunchu on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
Two days later.
As night falls, the sea water beats against the beach regularly, and a few small shells wash up from time to time.
Karina sat on the reef, staring blankly at the moon in the sky, her slender white legs buried in the sea water, a gentle breeze blowing on her cheeks, the wind carried a hint of fishy smell, which Karina did not like.
Behind her stood two maids, urging her constantly.
"Your Highness, it's windy at the seaside at night. You'd better go back quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Karina ignored her words and continued looking at the moon in the sky.
Tomorrow is her wedding day with Charles, and she doesn't want to marry Charles.
But she said she would come when she got married.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the day you will marry His Royal Highness Charles. You'd better go back quickly. If you play around and miss the date tomorrow, Charles will be annoyed with you."
It takes at least two hours to get back to the castle from the beach.
"Princess, please go back quickly. Don't you like His Royal Highness Charles the most? You haven't tried on the dress for your wedding tomorrow yet~"
I don’t know which words touched Karina, she stood up and left the shore with a cold face.
Charles, Charles, it’s Charles every day. Whoever likes Charles can marry her.
Karina returned to the castle and put on the complicated wedding dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and was incredibly beautiful.
It would be nice if Senior Vivienne were here too.
She would definitely whisper in her ear: "My Karina is the most beautiful princess in the world."
The maid looked at Karina standing in front of the mirror and couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Highness, this wedding dress is tailor-made for you. You will definitely be the most beautiful bride in the world tomorrow. His Highness Charles will definitely like it."
Karina: "..."
Deep seabed.
007 is persuading Yunchu.
[Host, Cecilia is trying to get the Third Princess to let her out. Are you not going to intervene?]
Yunchu studied the potion in his hand without even raising his eyelids.
【No.】
[But host, if Cecilia leaves, everything will go back to the original plot! ]
Yunchu has his own plans.
[Even if the Third Princess doesn't let Cecilia go, I will still go.]
【Why, host? 】
Isn’t their plan to change the fate of the mermaids?
[Because Karina doesn't want to marry Charles, I need Cecilia to sabotage their wedding.]
【???】
What's going on?
It remembered... when the host first planned to find Karina, didn't he want to use Karina to get rid of Cecilia?
How did it change? When did it change? Why doesn't it know?
Yunchu ignored 007's questions. She looked at the potion bubbling in her hand and waited attentively for the result.
Finally, the bubbling potion calmed down, and the black liquid turned blue. Yunchu cut his finger and added a drop of blood into it.
After another round of operations, she curled the corners of her lips.
Sure enough, talents in the world of cultivation can be reshaped, and the same is true for the world of magic.
I guess this is what Charles wanted to study at the beginning.
Yunchu looked at what he had researched for three days and cursed Charles inwardly for being a waste.
Killing so many mermaids and still being at the starting line is just stupid, very stupid.
Yunchu put the potion away and decided to give it to the little princess who loved to pretend to cry when he went to the human world tomorrow.
