Girls' friendships are always formed very quickly.
"Yun Lian, can you find a way to get me away from Mermaid Island?"
"Of course, Sang Ruo will help you."
With Yun Lian and Sang Ruo's deliberate cooperation, Xiao Yao quickly gathered evidence.
Every time Xiao Yao went to the core area, Yun Lian would unexpectedly appear in front of Zhu Yue.
Zhu Yue felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the human who hadn't even glanced at him for several days.
What does she want this time?
He wasn't unaware of the new human's little tricks, but since Yun Lian tried to protect her, he let Yun Lian have her way.
"Zhuyue, why is your face so pale? Do you need me to prepare some more healing medicine for you?"
Her carefree face made Zhuyue momentarily believe that she was truly cared for by her.
But if you really care.
She wouldn't stand by and watch herself suffer, choosing instead to turn a blind eye.
Having not spoken for a long time, Zhuyue's voice was hoarse.
"You'll give it to me if I need it?"
Yun Lian leaned closer and kissed his pale, fragile lips.
"Of course, after all, I like Lord Zhuyue the most."
Especially...the look of pain.
Zhuyue didn't let her escape; instead, she deepened the kiss.
His platinum hair was disheveled and draped over his back, intertwined with her jet-black hair, just like their hearts.
They seem to be integrated, yet they also repel each other.
Zhuyue's voice carried a hint of pleading: "I want you to agree too? Yunlian, I don't want the healing potion, I want you to love me properly just once."
Suddenly, Yun Lian saw the image of him who would rather die than submit, and how he would pull his hand away if she touched him back then.
Her smile didn't reach her eyes: "Lord Zhuyue, how do you want me to love you? Is it... like this?"

When Jialan smelled her scent, he thought he was facing another wall covered in water.
But this time, Yun Lian wasn't the first to succumb.
But Master no longer had the energy to keep things hidden. Or rather, he didn't want to; he just wanted to openly show everyone his place in her heart.
But if you really have it, why rush to put it in front of you?
Jialan was utterly dejected and turned back.
So he didn't hear the unpleasant argument between the two after he left.
Yun Lian looked down at the exceptionally beautiful mermaid as she succumbed to her desires.
"Yun Lian, don't..."
She, however, had a mischievous streak. When he couldn't have her, tears welled up in his eyes and rolled down his cheeks, turning into beautiful pink pearls.
She pressed her fingertips firmly, tracing the pearl between his lips. "Don't do that? Like this... or like this? Lord Candlelight..."
His beautiful fins shimmered with light as he was moved by love, and his exquisite eyes shone brighter than the most precious gems.
"Please, have mercy on me..."
"Then I'll try my best, okay?"
When Zhuyue heard the familiar words, she knew that the anger she had been holding in had not yet been released.
"It's not about trying my best. I will definitely complete the task you asked me to do. Please have pity on me..."
Despite being just a fragile human being, she was able to control his mind and lifeline.
He really failed.
Yun Lian's lips curled slightly.
"As you wish."
At his most confused and infatuated moment, Yun Lian gently pressed her rosy lips, marked with teeth, to his brow.
"Lord Zhuyue, you're the one who added the poison to the seawater that's designed to kill humans, aren't you?"
As Zhuyue fell from heaven to hell, her passion faded and reason slowly returned.
Why are you asking this?
"Because I am human too, Zhuyue, why do you insist on standing against me?"
She's now even unwilling to pretend, and is just baring her fangs at him.
"Your trip to Mermaid Island was all meticulously planned? You schemed to get close to me, but weren't you always on the opposite side? I was wrong. I thought that being humble and subservient would win your heart."
"I was kidnapped here, how could I possibly walk into a trap? As for sincerity? Lord Candlelight, do you even have it?"
Yun Lian got up, changed her clothes, and went out, leaving Zhu Yue, who looked like she had been played with and was lying on a bed of pearls, unable to move for a long time.
Xiao Yao waited outside the door.
"I'm here to take you home."
Yun Lian gazed at the numb humans she had rescued, as well as some men and women rescued from the arena whose eyes gleamed with ferocity.
Yun Lian sighed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yao."
"It's not hard work. You take a rest first. I'll wait for Nangong Yue."
If we consider both humans and mermaids as races, neither is wrong.
Those who made the mistakes were not punished; instead, innocent people suffered the brunt of the gunfire.
Yun Lian had only taken a few steps when she saw the male protagonist of this world, Nangong Yue, walking towards her with his subordinates, exuding an imposing aura.
"Ms. Yun, thank you for your contributions to the country."
Yun Lian ignored the mermaid tied to a rope behind him. "No need to thank me. You have ten minutes to rescue the humans. After the effects of the drug wear off, I don't know if you'll be able to escape unscathed."
This was the first time Nangong Yue had truly looked at a woman other than Xiao Yao; she was unlike anyone else on the entire island.
It felt as comfortable and relaxing as if I were in my own backyard.
"I will reach an agreement with the wizard as soon as possible."
She hummed in agreement and sat down in the submarine without looking back.
When Nangong Yue arrived at Zhuyue's room, he was already dressed neatly. The small stream of water hit Nangong Yue's face without leaving a single red mark.
“My lord wizard, I think we might be able to have a proper talk.”
Zhuyue sensed the threat lurking in the shadows on Mermaid Island, concealing the scheming in her eyes.
No one knows what they talked about.
Yun Lian returned to the human world, but it was no different from when she was on Mermaid Island.
She disappeared for a long time and was kicked out of the dance troupe. Now she is unemployed.
Because of her merit in helping Xiao Yao rescue the people on the island, she received a huge bonus, which allowed her to temporarily live a carefree life.
Xiao Yao, who had been extremely busy, appeared at the door after a long absence.
“Sister Lian, I don’t know if my persistence is still meaningful. I’ve been lying low on Mermaid Island for so long, and I thought my efforts would bring about some changes, but even if the wizard’s mental power is withdrawn, the majority of humans are still suffering from it.”
Yun Lian gently patted her shoulder. The heroine, who was like a little sun when they first met, now looked like a pearl covered in dust, with a hint of dejection.
“Those are not things you should be thinking about, Xiao Yao. At least you brought back a lot of humans, didn’t you? At least they returned to their homeland.”
Mentioning those people made Xiao Yao even more melancholy.
They were disconnected from society for a long time and underwent inhuman psychological transformation there.
Xiao Yao looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Even though being taken to Mermaid Island was not her wish, and she had helped a lot, society did not treat her kindly.
She was kicked out of her dance troupe, and her fiancé had quickly started a new family with someone else during the time she was gone.
She came back, but life could never be the same again.
"Sister Lian, do you regret it?"
If she were still on the original Mermaid Island, she would still be the free person who could go anywhere.
