Chapter 188: Are you going with me or not?
Maya came to Snake Mountain to find Shu Huan, and was surprised that the previously bare Snake Mountain was now full of flowers, many of which were species she had never seen before.
So beautiful! Maya walked from the foot of the mountain to the top, marveling all the way.
It is even more breathtaking to see the smelly snake den that was once washed away by the Da Xishuang spray, and the groundwater dug out by Xiao Tiantian's sharp claws, winding down the mountain and nourishing the delicate flowers all over the mountain.
Shu Huan was sitting in a rocking chair under a banana tree, eating a red apple. When he saw Maya, he casually greeted her.
Maya walked forward, looked directly at Shu Huan and said, "I have something very important to tell you."
Shu Huan handed Maya an apple and reached for a clean stone with a cushion nearby, "Sit down and talk."
Maya sat down and started eating the apple without speaking immediately.
Shu Huan said as he ate, "Have you heard of the story of the ringo fruit?"
Maya looked like she wanted to hear more details, Shu Huan said slowly.
"Adam and Eve were tempted by the snake to eat the forbidden fruit, the apple, which opened their eyes to good and evil, leading to their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Later, they became the ancestors of mankind..."
Maya said, "It seems that there is a reason why humans are too weak to be slaves, because their roots are rotten."
Shu Huan smiled faintly and looked at Maya.
"Yes, so in order to perpetuate their sins, humans hid the forbidden fruit among all things in the world. As long as you taste the forbidden fruit, no matter how dark the place is, you will still become a sinner."
Maya felt very bored. "Why are you telling me this? I didn't taste the forbidden fruit."
Shu Huan, "Forbidden fruit does not refer only to matters between men and women, but to all things that violate moral principles, including conscience. Of course, if you don't have any, just ignore what I said."
Maya was shocked. Could it be that Shu Huan knew that Ao Ren asked her to capture Shu Huan and take him back?
But how is that possible? There was no one around when she and Ao Ren were plotting.
No, what did Shu Huan say just now? No matter how dark the place is, he will still become a sinner?
Maya laughed dryly, "I really don't know what conscience is, but since this word exists, I think it must be because someone lacks it that they created it. I don't know that it means I have a conscience, so Shu Huan, I want to tell you a secret."
Shu Huan nodded, "Please go ahead."
“Ao Ren asked me to capture you and bring you back. As a reward, all your five beast husbands will be mine.
I have already promised Ao Ren, but I don't want to go against my conscience, so look, are you going with me or not?"
Ao Ren just asked her to capture Shu Huan and didn't ask for any specific method. She told Shu Huan frankly that it was not up to her to decide whether Shu Huan would go with her or not.
Fortunately, Maya was sensible and didn't waste her words. Shu Huan stood up from the recliner and said, "Let's go."
Maya immediately smiled, "What about your five beastly husbands...?"
"Don't you like Yu Ting anymore?" Shu Huan asked Maya in a light tone, and was not angry because Maya coveted her five beastly husbands.
Maya smiled bitterly, "I was too stupid before. Now, Yu Ting is mine, but it does not prevent me from enjoying other orcs."
Shu Huan shook his head in disappointment, "You let yourself fall into depravity because of other people's mistakes, Maya, I overestimated you after all.
However, since you like it, as long as you can subdue them, I have no objection."
Maya raised the corners of her lips stiffly, "If you don't want to give it to me, just say so. Why tease me about this?"
"You don't have the ability, don't use me as an excuse."
Shu Huan said as he walked down the mountain, and Maya followed.
When Ao Ren saw Maya bringing Shu Huan back, he recognized Shu Huan as his eldest daughter who had been lost for many years.
Shu Huan looked at Ao Ren. Although he was in his sixties, he was energetic and had a straight back. His mature manly temperament was fatally attractive to females. No wonder Maya was willing to betray Yu Ting and devote herself to him.
"My daughter..." Ao Ren stretched out his hand to Shu Huan, looking like a loving father who missed her day and night.
Why did you change your strategy and plan to play the family card with her?
Shu Huan smiled jokingly, "My father is Shu Lie, you got the wrong person."
Ao Ren looked at Shu Huan with pain in his eyes, "You were stolen by bad guys before you were born. Shu Lie is only your adoptive father, and I am your biological child."
Shu Huan raised her hand to stop Ao Ren's hug.
"Even if what you said is true, what about me, Am?"
"She, she betrayed me. I have been looking for her for many years, but I still can't find her whereabouts. Didn't your Am look for you?"
Shu Huan shook his head, "No, I didn't even know until now that Shu Lie is not my biological father."
Ao Ren's eyes flashed with disappointment, "Forget it, let's not talk about this.
Your grandmother has passed away. Come back with me immediately to see her off for the last time."
"Where to go back to?" Shu Huan looked defensive.
Ao Ren sighed, "Of course I'm going back to the sea. Don't you know you are a mermaid princess?"
"I don't know..." Shu Huan continued to play dumb, "Don't be ridiculous, I don't even know what the sea is, how can I be a mermaid princess.
Besides, I have already told Maya that the mermaid princess Han Qingzi has returned to the sea. Maybe I am not your daughter, but she is. Have you really figured it out?"
Ao Ren was very sure, "I will never admit my mistake, you are my daughter."
It was rare for a father to be so sure of his child's identity, and Shu Huan was a little curious.
"Why are you so anxious to find me? Just tell me."
Ao Ren hesitated for a moment before saying, "I hope to take you back so that our family can be together forever."
"And then?" Shu Huan continued to ask.
Ao Ren was a little embarrassed, but he still said it.
"I hope you can give the right to inherit the Sea King to your sister. When your sister becomes the Sea King, you will take her place and stay with me and your Am."
Ao Ren is so selfish and shameless that he actually wants his stepdaughter to stay with his second wife to show her filial piety.
"Is it some supreme honor to accompany you two old fellows?"
Shu Huan's words were very impolite, and Ao Ren looked unhappy.
"Aren't you happy to be with Abba and Am?"
"Then why don't you let your little girl be happy and let me be the King of the Sea?"
Ao Ren was unable to argue with Shu Huan and became angry. "No matter what you say, you must give the inheritance rights to your sister."
"What if I say no?"
Looking at Shu Huan who was going against him to the end, Ao Ren's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Then don't blame Dad for being cruel."
Xiao Tiantian sensed the danger, rushed to Ao Ren, opened her bloody mouth and roared.
A strong wind blew and Ao Ren was blown back, turning into his original colorful mermaid form. He raised his tail and slapped Xiao Tiantian away.
Seeing the big Xiao Tiantian being slapped away, Da Xi spread his wings to rescue her, but was struck by a bolt of lightning from Ao Ren's hand and turned into charcoal.
Ao Ren took his hand back and glared at Shu Huan coldly, "If you don't want to be like them, just behave yourself. Do you understand?"
