I don't want to let go of this beautiful and wonderful encounter.
[Tongtong, he hasn't even run off to tell Sterling and the others that I can talk, so why won't he agree to my request?]
The system thought for a moment: [Easy to answer. Judging from how he's treating you right now, he just doesn't want you to leave.]
Why?
Do I like you?
Qi Qi: [That's even worse! If you like me, shouldn't you listen to everything I say?]
The system doesn't know.
Qi Qi pulled Louis, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and asked, "Why didn't you take me out?"
Louis's eyes were filled with complex emotions. A courage that seemed to rise from nowhere compelled him to grasp the merman's cold hand: "I, I, I..."
His face was flushed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his throat was choked as he tried to say something.
Qi Qi stopped him and continued to sing softly in his ear: "I miss my mom so much, can you take me back? I'll come back to see you, we're good friends."
Qi Qi solemnly placed his other hand on his slightly hairy hand.
Even in seemingly serious situations, he would actually be talking to the system in his head: "How strange, foreigners have more body hair than I do."
Louis wiped his sweat and looked at the merman holding his hand.
Is this how the merfolk bewitched the sailors? He seems to have fallen for it too.
"Will they really come looking for me...?"
Qi Qi said without batting an eye, "Yes, I like you the most. I will be very sad if I can't see you. But if my mother can't see me, she will also be very sad... I'll talk to her and then come to play with you, okay?"
System: ...A robot, terrifyingly so! Having only experienced one world, it can already speak so fluently. If my emotional data weren't incomplete, could I resist its coquettishness?
His pitiful and endearing look was so charming that even a person with a dark heart would be moved, and someone as mentally healthy as Louis would find it even more irresistible.
The thought of the merman's departure caused his bewitched heart to switch between calm and passion, and he frowned: "Really...?"
Without hesitation, Qi Qi replied, "Yes, I will. I've been in the sea for so long. Actually, I really like life on land, I really like humans, and I especially like you, Brother Louis. I definitely won't want to leave!"
Is this the truth? I really enjoy life on land, but I only like Louis a little bit.
system:……
Louis looked at the hand being held, and his expression rose to a new level of intensity.
"…………"
I really like it, so much so that I wish I could take the merman home and raise it right now.
Talking mermaids are even more irresistible than quiet ones.
Let him go back? Absolutely not...
"If you don't agree, I'll never talk to you again."
Qi Qi blurted out this harsh remark without thinking.
Louis: "..."
Qi Qi was about to let go when his hand was grasped again. The next second, Louis said with difficulty, "Really... will you come back?"
Qi Qi's eyes lit up: "Definitely!"
Louis continued with difficulty, "Do you really like me?"
Qi Qi: "I really like you, you're so incredibly beautiful!"
Louis asked again with difficulty, "Really, do you like life on land?"
Qi Qi: "I love land and stuff, look, aren't my legs beautiful?... Why are you bleeding from your nose?"
Louis, feeling dizzy and hot, wiped the blood from his nose and said, "It's nothing."
"I'll see you off."
In his dilated pupils, the merman drew closer again, and he whispered, "Don't tell Sterling and the others."
"good."
...
The human prince was completely infatuated with the merman.
As the protagonist embodying courage and wisdom, Louis quickly took action.
During the conversation, Sterling and the others made it clear that the merfolk should not be allowed to leave, but Jason's attitude towards the merfolk was really strange. In addition, the three of them had shown no interest in the jewelry in the storage room these past few days, so Louis had reason to suspect that they preferred the merfolk.
They also wanted to hide the merfolk and take them back to land.
Louis had originally thought the same thing, but he just couldn't resist the pitiful mermaid Qi. Qi was so innocent, kind, beautiful, and cute... He definitely wouldn't lie.
Louis' ears turned red as he looked for an opportunity. Sterling and the other two were still inside the castle, and it would be difficult to take Qi out without alerting them.
Louis chose to send Jason away first, letting him go out and search with the captain for the 200 people who had not yet returned from the ship. This was their main task recently, and even the repair of the ship had been postponed.
"First mate, this is part of your job. Although you are my friend, I can't let you watch that poor captain work alone."
Jason, whose persona is still intact: "."
He went.
Louis then led Sterling and Hilllow into the storeroom: "These parchment scrolls seem to contain information from the ancient Merfolk."
He is handsome and charming, and when he decides to use his outward composure to deceive others, it is very difficult for them to notice anything amiss.
After all, he was the darling of Heaven.
But he was facing the mission takers.
Ten minutes later, Sterling looked at Louis, who was talking eloquently, and a fleeting expression crossed his face... sadness and confusion?
Sterling's expression turned serious. Theoretically, he believed that someone like Louis, with such a strong possessive desire for merfolk, wouldn't let the merfolk escape—
Moreover, aside from being overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes still appeared clear, his logic was sound, and he spoke in an organized manner, showing no signs of being mentally clouded.
