A faint glint of light seemed to flash in his pale golden, indifferent vertical pupils.
Looking down quietly at the soundly sleeping Yin Chen, Long Xun carefully pulled his arm out from under Yin Chen's neck, quietly lifted the quilt and got up. His white undergarment (ancient pajamas) was still neatly and smoothly on his body.
The moment his thought crossed his mind, the hidden Myriad Flowers outfit suddenly appeared. The elaborate and elegant black robe outlined his tall and straight figure, and the calligraphy brush in his palm twirled leisurely.
Seemingly because the familiar and reassuring aura surrounding him had disappeared, Yin Chen frowned slightly with unease and murmured, "A-Xun..."
Long Xun leaned down and brought her lips close to his ear, whispering, "I'm here."
The deep, magnetic voice, because it was so soft, lost its coldness and became gentle.
"...Ah Xun...don't go..."
Long Xun didn't answer, but simply said softly, "Sleep well...it's alright..."
Even when he was just gently coaxing him to sleep, Long Xun was unwilling to lie to him and instead tried to soothe him by avoiding the important details.
He leaned over and gently hummed a soothing lullaby in Yin Chen's ear; his pleasant voice had a calming quality.
Soon after, Yin Chen's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he drifted into a more beautiful dream in this peaceful lullaby.
Long Xun quietly stood up, took a step back, and opened one hand in front of him, summoning the Milk Tea Mouse.
Long Xun had already warned Milk Tea while she was in the system space, so when Milk Tea Mouse came out, she stared with her black bean-like eyes and covered her mouth with her little paws, making a gesture that she would never make a sound.
A faint smile flickered across Long Xun's eyes as he was amused by it. He reached out and gently stroked its fur, his lips moving slightly as a whisper reached Milk Tea's ears: "Milk Tea, can you help me protect A-Chen?"
Milk Tea covered her mouth with one paw, raised the other paw, and made an "OK" gesture with her tiny paw.
Although the Milk Tea Mouse has evolved from a spirit beast to a demon beast since it was able to speak, unfortunately, the creatures in the Mermaid World are too powerful, and its combat strength has decreased compared to the previous world.
However, its tiny size makes it surprisingly useful for protecting someone, making it a kind of surprise weapon.
Long Xun rubbed its little head again, then gently released his hand, letting Milk Tea wave its little paws and clumsily swim towards the coral by the bedside, where it found a branch and lay down.
After taking one last look at Yin Chen, Long Xun suddenly disappeared from the room.
Yin Chen, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a little cold and couldn't help but shiver.
A soft murmur escaped her lips.
"...My imperial advisor...Dr. Long..."
The faint sound drifted gently through the room, and even the milk tea that was right next to it couldn't hear it.
In the endless depths of the sea, a streak of silver light flashed by as swiftly as lightning.
The silver dragon's cold, golden vertical pupils contained boundless power. With each sway of its body and tail, and each gentle flick of its claws, it propelled itself forward a great distance, a speed thousands of times faster than the most insane public transportation system used by merfolk.
No longer hindered by the water, which cheered and leaped around him, surging and yielding to his will, pushing him forward and increasing his speed to a new level.
In the vast and boundless Mermaid World, even at the strongest current speed, it would take three or four days to travel from the East District to the West District. However, with Silver Dragon's insane speed, it only took a mere ten minutes.
Scattered throughout the western sea area are countless small towns. The moderate sea restrictions here have made the mermaids accustomed to choosing areas that are more suitable for them to live in, rather than converging into large cities.
Therefore, at the moment the war began, the West Side was the first to be attacked by the sea monster.
While it was still late at night in the East District, it was broad daylight in the West District. Red blood was splattered in the seawater, and the nauseating fishy smell could be smelled from afar. The azure sea in front of them had even turned blackish-red.
The sea monsters' shredded tentacles and half-cooked bodies were scattered from the surface of the sea all the way to the seabed. As they moved forward, they kept crashing into the silver dragon's body, but before they could even get close, they were crushed into dust by the silver dragon's naturally emanating power.
The blood in the seawater isn't just from sea monsters, it's also from mermaids.
But just like in myths and legends, dead mermaids turn into bubbles and disappear into the depths of the sea, giving back everything they have to the ocean, so it is impossible to see the mermaid's body.
This was a small-scale war that had already ended, so small that it didn't even alert the Seven Mermaid Kings to Long Xun.
But Long Xun still arrived.
He sensed something different.
