The red-haired girl appearing on the water's surface was so sudden that before Feng Guang could even ask anything, Herman had already raised his hand, "Holy water surges forth in clarity, the source of evil is annihilated in flowing light..."
Golden light appeared, enveloping the red-haired girl. At the same time, a look of pain appeared on her face. "Please... don't kill me..."
Her body was curled up in a ball, and even her voice was extremely pitiful.
Feng Guang didn't understand magic, but she could guess that the magic Herman was using on this little girl was definitely not good. She grabbed Herman's hand, "Herman, you can't kill her."
Having received a modern education, she couldn't simply watch a young girl perish so indifferently.
Herman looked down. "Wendy, she saw us together."
Feng Guang's grip on his hand suddenly loosened; after all, Herman was still her first choice.
"I promise..." the red-haired girl said pitifully, "I won't tell anyone what I saw."
This was her second time surfacing. She didn't know much about human affairs, but that didn't mean she hadn't seen the book. The book had illustrations of people wearing clothes like Herman's; they were people from the Holy See, and the Holy See did not allow romantic relationships between men and women.
Although the girl wasn't clever, she wasn't stupid either. She quickly understood why the man wanted to kill her, but she wasn't one to talk too much, and she didn't need to tell others what she had seen.
Hermann coldly replied, "Your words are not to be trusted."
"I swear to the sea goddess that if I go out and talk nonsense, may I turn into sea foam and disappear into the ocean."
Hermann listened and said calmly, "You are a mermaid."
Only the mermaid race worships the sea goddess and makes such a vow, because after a mermaid dies, she turns into foam and eventually disappears into the water.
To his surprise, Feng Guang became even more excited upon hearing this, exclaiming, "You're a mermaid!?"
“Not bad…” The little girl didn’t understand why Feng Guang was so excited. There had always been rumors among humans that eating mermaid flesh could grant immortality. She was a little scared now, wondering if Feng Guang had the same idea.
However, the little girl was wrong, and Feng Guang continued to ask, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ariel," the naive little mermaid immediately said.
Feng Guang turned around and hugged Herman, saying, "You can't kill her!"
"Why?" Herman also deactivated the magic circle and instead reached out to hug her waist.
The reason we can't kill Ariel is naturally because she's the female lead. If she were to turn into bubbles prematurely, the butterfly effect would be enormous!
Feng Guang couldn't say that. She thought of another way of putting it, "It's because she saved Richard that Richard is now bothering me. The only reason Richard is bothering me is because he thinks I'm the one who saved him. In order to prevent Richard from bothering me again in the future, Ariel certainly can't die!"
This reason... is barely valid.
Of course, Herman could have killed Richard to end it all, but Richard was now a guest of the Summer Kingdom. If something happened to him in the Summer Kingdom, the Spring Kingdom would not let it go. Herman was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid of reducing the time he could spend with Fengguang because of trouble. So, he chose to listen to his woman.
