Gu Nianchen couldn't remember how long he had been searching in the sea. The corals and reefs around him all looked similar.
There was no light in the dim seabed, and he couldn't see anything if he was a little further away. He also had to avoid huge fish and other sea creatures.
[Nianchen-kun, we seem to be going in circles! Why does everything around us look the same?]
Gu Nianchen also sighed.
[Don’t you have anything good you can use right now?]
I've searched through it several times. There really isn't any left. When I go back, I'll see if there's a submarine. I'll get a spare!
Gu Nianchen was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes. What's the point of saying this now? He could only keep looking. He would find it eventually.
Bai Luoyu searched and asked if anyone had seen a human being, but all the answers were negative, which made Bai Luoyu more and more desperate.
He had already started to think in a bad direction. There were several creatures in the ocean that could swallow Gu Nianchen. He secretly made up his mind.
If he finds out who swallowed Gu Nianchen, he will make him pay with blood.
Another day and night passed. Gu Nianchen had not eaten or drunk for four days, and his body had reached its limit.
[Nianchen Jun, you must return to land and replenish your strength before coming down. Otherwise, Luoyu Jun will be fine, but you will be the first to die.]
I can still hold on!
Gu Nianchen didn't want to return now. He had dived for a long time to reach this location. If he returned to land, it would take a long time.
"But, if you die, the mission failure will be a minor issue, but Luo Yu's fate will likely return to its original trajectory. Is that the outcome you want to see?"
218's words made Gu Nianchen wake up. Yes, even if Bai Luoyu would be left at the bottom of the sea by his father, at least he would not be in danger, and if his mission failed.
He didn't dare to think any further and began to float up.
218 was relieved to see that his words had worked. Nothing could be more useful than mentioning Luo Yujun.
Just as Gu Nianchen was floating up, he didn't notice that a ferocious large fish was approaching rapidly from behind him.
The giant fish opened its mouth full of sharp fangs, trying to swallow Gu Nianchen into its mouth!
"Shut up!" A familiar voice reached Gu Nianchen's ears, and he looked towards the source of the voice.
He saw Bai Luoyu's beautiful purple figure swimming towards him.
Gu Nianchen was so delighted that he didn't even notice the danger behind him.
The giant fish stood there, not daring to move, not only because Bai Luoyu was a mermaid, but also because of the pressure brought by the Mermaid King's mark on Bai Luoyu's forehead!
"Nianchen! I finally found you. You are okay, you are really okay. I was scared to death!" Bai Luoyu rushed over and hugged Gu Nianchen. Tears instantly rolled down his face, and his heart was filled with joy of hugging Gu Nianchen again.
"Luo Yu, I'm here, everything is fine!" Gu Nianchen also hugged Bai Luoyu tightly.
The two of them hugged each other as if they wanted to melt into each other's body! At this moment, no one could separate them.
Until Bai Haoyuan appeared, breaking the joy of their long-awaited reunion.
"What exactly are you? How can a human being reach here and breathe in the water?" Bai Haoyuan looked at Gu Nianchen with scrutinizing eyes.
The two separated, Bai Luoyu still holding Gu Nianchen's arm. Only then did he realize that Gu Nianchen could breathe freely.
"Hello, I am indeed a human. As for why I can breathe water, it's because I found a pill in a ruin. The text on it says that you can breathe water after taking it." Gu Nianchen explained. He couldn't reveal the existence of 218, so he could only make up an excuse.
Bai Luoyu believed it without a doubt. Although Bai Haoyuan still had doubts, he had to admit that for human civilization, everything was possible!
"Come with me!" Bai Haoyuan waved his hand, and the scene in front of the two of them became blurry. Then it became clear again, and they arrived at a small palace.
"This is my room, my father still kept it." Bai Luoyu recognized that this was the palace where he had always lived, and the room still maintained its original appearance.
"Well, I've kept it for you. Luo Yu has been looking for you these past few days, without eating, drinking or sleeping. You should take a rest first. If you have anything to say, talk about it after you've rested." Bai Haoyuan saw that both of them were exhausted and forced themselves to stay awake.
Realizing that there was nothing to be asked and nothing to be solved now, he said this and left.
Although the two were separated for only a few days, they felt like they were living in a different era. When they reunited, they held hands the whole time, fearing that all this was just a dream.
Bai Haoyuan had someone bring food over. Bai Luoyu felt a little embarrassed: "Nianchen, there are only algae and some fish and shellfish on the seabed that can be eaten. You have to make do with it. I will ask father to let us go back as soon as possible."
"Well, I can eat anything as long as I can be with you, but you never leave me again. I'm really scared." Gu Nianchen hugged Bai Luoyu and kissed him on the face.
"Be good, eat first, and then have a good rest. Seeing you like this, I feel so bad." He pulled Bai Luoyu to sit down.
"Okay, I'm really hungry."
Both of them had been hungry for several days and had eaten a lot. After the meal, they were so sleepy that they returned to the bedroom.
Bai Luoyu lay in Gu Nianchen's arms as before, but she sometimes put her legs on Gu Nianchen before, but now she can't do that and she feels a little uncomfortable.
The two slept for a whole day before waking up. During this time, Bai Haoyuan asked other mermaids to check on them. After confirming that everything was fine, they stood guard outside the door.
Gu Nianchen woke up first, and looking at Bai Luoyu sleeping soundly in his arms, he felt a sense of recovery.
Bai Luoyu also slowly woke up: "Nianchen, it's great to have you."
He turned around and hugged Gu Nianchen, resting his head on Gu Nianchen's chest, listening to his heartbeat. This was his safe haven.
"Yeah, love you! Let's get up, it feels like we've been asleep for ages!"
"Yeah, okay."
The mermaid guarding outside heard the two people getting up and went to report to Bai Haoyuan.
Soon, a merman knocked on the door. "Your Highness, the King invites you and this human guest to the main hall."
"Okay, we'll be there right away." Bai Luoyu replied.
Gu Nianchen looked at Bai Luoyu's hesitant and nervous expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Luoyu, did something happen?"
Bai Luoyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided not to hide it: "Nianchen, the mark appeared between my eyebrows because I awakened the bloodline of the Mermaid King.
If I were still a mermaid, I would be the new king. But now I am a human, and I only have ten years to live. This is the price I pay for becoming human.
I’m sorry, Nianchen, I hid this from you. I’m sorry, I’m a selfish person. I got your love, but I can only accompany you for ten years. I’m sorry…” Bai Luoyu burst into tears. He felt that he was terrible, terrible!
