In this life, because Lan Shuang knew magic, she lived longer than in her previous lives, but not by much. When she was about 150 years old, her life came to an end and she was ready to leave this world.
Mermaids have a much longer lifespan than hers, and time is particularly kind to them. When Lan Shuang began to grow old, Los's appearance was still as beautiful and youthful as ever.
In order to prevent Lan Shuang from feeling disappointed, he used magic to fake his appearance. In Lan Shuang's eyes, he was growing old with her.
But appearance can be changed, but life span cannot. One hundred and fifty years old is the prime of life for a mermaid.
Los looked at Lan Shuang, whose eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier and whose vitality was gradually fading. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. Sadness, reluctance and loneliness surged up at once, like a ball of cotton soaked in water blocking his throat.
“Don’t be sad…”
Lan Shuang was already struggling to speak. She raised her hand, stroked Los's face and said, "Change back. I want to remember your best self."
The tears that had been hanging in Los's eyes finally fell, flowed down his handsome cheeks, and finally condensed into a pearl and landed in Lan Shuang's palm.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Don't cry. Didn't you say it hurts?"
She held the light blue pearl in her hand, feeling helpless, distressed, and a little lonely.
Another life has ended. Will he still be there in the next life?
She didn't know, but she hoped she could.
Los shook his head and wanted to say something, but his throat was choked with sourness and he couldn't speak.
He didn't cry because he felt pain, but he cried because it hurt. He couldn't hold it in any longer, so the tears just fell. Compared with the heartache, that little bit of pain was negligible.
“Shuangshuang…”
Luo Si held Lan Shuang's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Don't leave me alone."
"I don't want to, but my life span is over..."
Lan Shuang's voice grew weaker and weaker. "Why don't you come with me? You'd be too lonely on your own..."
But after a while, she struggled again, holding Los's hand, and said with gentle eyes: "Forget it, I can't bear to leave. I'll walk slowly, and you can catch up with me slowly. We can always..."
Before she could finish her last sentence, she died.
Los' body stiffened, and then tears really fell one by one like beads from a broken string, and soon a shower of pearls covered Lan Shuang's body.
Lan Shuang's soul left her body and returned to the space. 888 immediately came to greet her: "Host, this life is too long. You have worked hard~"
Lan Shuang shook her head, looked at her young soul, and sighed: "Turn on the screen, I want to see what's going on with Los."
888: "Ah? Do you really want to watch it? I'm afraid you won't want to leave after watching it."
Lan Shuang laughed and shook her head. "How could I, such a heartless person, be reluctant to let him go? I just wanted to see if he did anything stupid."
888: "Oh, so that's it. Host, please wait."
He stood in front of the operating table and clicked a few times. The screen lit up instantly and Los' figure appeared on it.
Lan Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly. After holding her body and crying for a while, Los held her and swam to the deep sea. He gently put her into his shell bed, and then... he lay down in it too.
Lan Shuang: “…”
888 was puzzled: "What is he doing?"
Lan Shuang whispered, "This is the way the mermaids are buried. They take everything they have and return to the embrace of the mother ocean."
888 was stunned for a moment, "So... he plans to be buried with you?"
Lan Shuang pursed her lips and lowered her head. 888 couldn't see her expression. After a moment, he heard Lan Shuang say, "Let's go to the next world. Don't give me a world like this again. One person lives too long, and the other one lives too short. It's very painful."
888 thought so too, and clenched his fist seriously and said, "Don't worry, host, I will carefully screen the world from now on, and this kind of situation will not happen again!"
"OK, thanks."
Lan Shuang raised her head and her usual gentle smile appeared on her face again.
888 didn't think much about it. His simple system couldn't analyze complex human emotions. He pressed a button and said to Lan Shuang, "Come on, host. The transmission channel to the next world has been opened. This time it's the ancient world~"
"Ancient times..." Lan Shuang's eyes flickered as she recalled her first world.
She stood on the teleportation array and closed her eyes. The next moment, she felt a familiar feeling of weightlessness and a slight pain in her heart. However, the feeling was fleeting, so she didn't take it seriously.
888 watched the shell gradually disappear into the deep sea on the screen, shook his head and sighed: "A lovestruck mermaid..."
Seeing that Lan Shuang had entered the next world, 888 turned off the monitoring screen of the mermaid and concentrated on watching the situation on Lan Shuang's side.
Little did they know that at the moment the surveillance was turned off, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from the shell.
The next moment, a huge fire broke out around the shell and actually started burning in the sea water. The fire spread very quickly and directly burned that area of the sea red.
A slender figure slowly walked out of the fire.
With white hair and red eyes, she looks like a snowy mountain stained with blood, with an extreme charm in her holiness.
He raised his eyes to take a look at the surrounding environment, curled his lips slightly, raised his slender hand to calculate, and then casually drew twice in the water. After a flash of golden light, the water in front of him rippled, and a door that was completely black and engraved with dark golden patterns appeared out of thin air.
He put his hand on it, and the door immediately opened to both sides. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything. He walked in until his figure was completely swallowed by the darkness. The door closed automatically and disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Only the great fire remained, burning riotously until it consumed the shell bed, leaving not a speck of dust.
…
"Is the Saint still not awake?"
"No, the Saint is very drunk."
"Alas, what will happen if the Imperial Master finds out about this?"
"this……"
Lan Shuang frowned slightly, listening to the sound gradually fading away. She couldn't hear anything clearly. It was buzzing as if there was a layer of paper between them. She couldn't help but shake her confused head.
"Xiao Baba, why do I feel so dizzy? Is it because I haven't traveled through time in so long that I'm not used to it?"
888 hesitated and said, "Well...it seems like the original owner drank too much and got drunk."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt so heavy she wouldn't open them. She gave up decisively, "How much did you drink? How could you be this drunk?"
888: "I will pass the plot to the host right now, please accept it~"
"good."
Lan Shuang lay there peacefully. After taking in the plot, she couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss—what the hell? Wasn't the original owner a supporting role? Why did she get involved in the love-hate relationship between three men?!"
888 kindly reminded: "Not really."
"Huh, that's good. It's hard for me to handle even one..."
888: "Wait! I didn't finish. It's not three men, it should be four."
Lan Shuang: “…”
Goodbye!
