His power was suppressed, his location was unknown, and he was stuck with the person he hated most.
Shenyao really wanted to kill someone.
In particular, when they discovered that the cliff had no exit and the only way out was from the top...
The three looked up and saw that the cliff was so high that its top was invisible, and it was impossible to climb it.
"Look carefully again, just in case we missed something," Shang Li said.
Shenyao immediately retorted, "Are you ordering me around?"
"If you don't want to look, then stay here by yourself." Chu Xinxin glared at the "problem child." "Even in this situation, you're still putting on that merman king act?"
Shenyao was furious and left first.
He took two steps, then remembered that leaving Chu Xinxin here would be doing the other three's bidding, so he turned back and followed behind Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin ignored him and, after a brief discussion with Chu Zheng, decided to examine the mountainside bit by bit.
Their search actually led them to a very, very hidden cave.
Chu Xinxin shut down the system while feigning great surprise: "There's a cave here!"
The group disregarded the danger and went straight inside.
Chu Xinxin originally wanted to go first, but Shen Yao pulled her back, and then he went in first with a sour face.
The cave was very dark, and Shenyao stumbled along.
"I'll go first," Shang Li said, stepping forward.
Chu Zheng disagreed: "Shang Li, have you forgotten who ruined you like this?"
"Sister Chuzheng, it's alright."
With Shang Li by their side, they slowly emerged from the cave.
Outside the cave was a hillside where Shenyao discovered a path hidden under the weeds.
The path vaguely leads to the top of the mountain.
Shenyao couldn't wait to step onto it.
"Wait a minute." Chu Zheng supported Shang Li, who was still very weak, and wanted to rest.
"A whole lot of messy stuff."
Chu Xinxin didn't leave, and Shenyao also stopped.
"King Mermaid, now that you've found the way, you can go back on your own." Chu Xinxin had a very clever plan in mind.
Once Shenyao leaves, Chuzheng will have to take care of Shangli. Once she leaves, she will be free to roam the world.
I no longer have to be a punching bag.
Chu Xinxin: "Anyway, I'm not Xingyuan..."
“You are.” Shen Yao’s gaze was deep.
"Because they look the same?"
"more than......"
Chu Xinxin interrupted him: "Listen, although I don't know why sometimes I say the exact same things as her, I can tell you, I've never had amnesia, that was a lie..."
"Also, I don't like wearing these kinds of tulle skirts. At least half of the things Xingyuan likes, I don't like..."
"Their personalities aren't similar either..."
Chu Xinxin changed the subject: "Mermaid King, sometimes I really doubt whether you truly like Xingyuan. If you like her, why can't you even tell if it's her or not?"
Shen Yao remained silent.
Shang Li and Chu Zheng listened silently from the side without making a sound.
Chu Xinxin had no choice but to continue: "You can tell the difference, right? In the beginning, I wasn't arranged to live in the First Palace. Later, various female officials were made to regulate my words and actions according to the Star Source, and then I was sent to the Ten Dreams..."
Shen Yao was silent for a while, then pointed at Shang Li and said, "I want to take him back with me."
Chu Zheng blocked Shang Li's path: "Don't even think about it!"
"What business is it of yours, a mermaid, to interfere in the affairs of my merfolk?"
He's my brother!
Shenyao: "If we're talking about blood ties, he's my younger brother..."
Chu Xinxin was a little confused: "Aren't Chu Zheng and Shang Li half-siblings...?"
"She's lying to you. She's just the adopted daughter of this black shark's mother."
Chu Xinxin glanced at Shang Li's exposed wrist; it was clean and did not have the pattern Chu Zheng had mentioned.
"Blood ties? Hmph..." Chu Zheng sneered, "You have the nerve to mention that."
For a fickle woman, he imprisoned his own brother in a volcano, stripped him of his powers, and blinded him.
He doesn't even deserve to be called "brother."
"I've rested enough, let's go."
Shang Li didn't want to hear any of this. He tugged at Chu Zheng's clothes and left first.
As he walked, Shang Li's long hair fluttered, and Chu Xinxin suddenly noticed a plain hair ring hanging from his hair.
"Wait a moment!"
Chu Xinxin stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "Where did you get this ring?"
Shang Li was stunned for a moment: "What?"
He couldn't see, so Chu Xinxin took off the ring and put it in his hand.
Shang Li stroked it several times before remembering, "I've worn it since I was little, but I don't remember who gave it to me."
Shen Yao looked at Chu Xinxin holding Shang Li's hand and felt inexplicably displeased: "It's just a ring, what's the big deal? I have plenty of those in my palace."
“It’s different…” Chu Xinxin touched the empty ring finger of her left hand. “Shang Li, do you want to regain your sight?”
Upon hearing this, the other three were extremely shocked.
Chu Zheng exclaimed with delight, "You can cure him!"
Shen Yao, his relaxed demeanor vanished: "Impossible!"
Shang Li's eyes were blinded by the most venomous scorpion tail, and they can never be restored.
“If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay.” Chu Xinxin looked at Shang Li, “But I have one condition.”
Shang Li touched his eyes; the surprise had come too suddenly for him to process.
"you say."
Chu Xinxin glanced at Chu Zheng: "I want you to stay by my side until I figure something out."
Chu Zheng objected as expected: "No, you're the ones who made Shang Li like this, I won't agree to it..."
Chu Xinxin grew impatient: "You know perfectly well that I am not Xingyuan, so don't pin everything on me. Whether you want to restore me or not is up to you, but that's all I ask for."
Chu Zheng sneered: "I know where this ring came from. In exchange, you must heal Shang Li's eyes."
"Dream on." Chu Xinxin wasn't one to be trifled with either; what if Chu Zheng just told a lie?
She has too many criminal records.
Chu Xinxin took one last look at the ring and left first: "You can discuss it, but give me an answer before you leave."
......
The cliff was really too high.
Chu Xinxin and her three companions walked until it was dark, but they still hadn't reached the mountaintop.
She and Shenyao found some dry branches and grass and lit a fire to keep warm.
Chu Zheng wanted to bring Shang Li over, but Shen Yao chased her away: "If you want it, get it yourself."
Shenyao and Shangli are mermaids, and should be afraid of fire.
But this place is strange in every way, which has made them no different from humans.
Shang Li's face turned pale from the cold.
Chu Zheng had no choice but to plead with Chu Xinxin: "You don't want to see him like this either, do you?"
"He can come over, but I'll take that as you agreeing to my request."
