Chapter 16: Run away, someone wants to kill you!



Jun Yuelan's gentle caress gradually calmed Jiang Li's uneasy heart.

At this moment, the seaweed surrounding Xiaojie suddenly made a rustling sound, and they both turned their heads to look.

I saw a group of little seahorses coming out from the seaweed, and small groups of them kept floating outwards.

"Xiaojie is done giving birth!"

Jiang Li and Jun Yuelan walked towards Xiao Jie together.

I saw Xiaojie, who had just given birth, crawling out from the seaweed. Her face was very weak and pale, and her eyes were half-open, showing her exhaustion.

"Xiaojie, are you okay?" Jiang Li asked with concern.

Xiao Jie shook his head gently, and even spoke weakly.

"It's nothing serious. I guess I'll have to ask you to take care of me during this period of time."

Seahorses are very weak for a while after giving birth. They need to find a safe place to recuperate, otherwise they will be ambushed and eaten.

So every time after giving birth, he would drag his tired body to Jun Yuelan and ask him to take him in for a while.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll take care of it." Jun Yuelan replied.

Xiao Jie pulled up the corners of his lips and showed a weak smile, "Thank you."

After letting go of these two words, he closed his eyes and fell into a tired sleep.

Jun Yuelan had prepared a small shell bed for Xiaojie in advance. He put the sleeping Xiaojie on it, while Jiang Li carefully held the newborn little seahorse in his hands and placed it next to Xiaojie.

She roughly counted them and found that there were fifteen in total.

Jun Yuelan gently covered the shell, leaving only a small gap.

"Okay, let him have a good rest, he will be fine in a few days."

Jiang Li nodded.

Jiang Li's life has become more boring since Xiaojie is no longer around to chat with him.

Although Jun Yuelan would take her for a walk from time to time, she would not take her to places farther away for the sake of her health. She only promised that after giving birth, she would take her to have a good time on the Sanaa River and see the beautiful scenery of the Sanaa River at night.

When Jun Yuelan is not hunting, he always sticks close to Jiang Li. Even if Jiang Li keeps pushing him aside, he always has the nerve to move forward.

The disparity in strength between the two was huge, and over time, Jiang Li just followed him.

But when he was hunting, Jiang Li would always take a nap and wait for him to come back.

She also thought about asking Jun Yuelan to bring back more food to store, so as to avoid the trouble of running back and forth every day.

But he said, "Elder Xingyu said that fresh food is the most nutritious. As long as my sister likes it, I am not afraid of the hard work."

Although it was a simple sentence, it was like an attack to Jiang Li, who had never had a boyfriend in modern times!

Especially when he saw that determined and handsome face, Jiang Li's heart started beating fast.

No, no, if she keeps watching like this she's afraid she won't be able to control herself.

Just when Jiang Li yawned for the Nth time and felt drowsy, Jun Yuelan prepared to leave to hunt again.

Before leaving, Jun Yuelan gently kissed her forehead and said in a very gentle and tender voice, "Sister, you should get some sleep. There will be delicious food when I come back."

Jiang Li nodded and said "hmm" softly.

No matter how sleepy she was, she still watched Jun Yuelan leave.

When his figure gradually faded away, Jiang Liping lay down and prepared to take a nap.

The baby in her belly suddenly started to move.

The frequency of the fetal movement made her a little scared, and it also made her wake up instantly without any sleepiness.

After all, the baby in her belly was always very quiet, and would only move slightly after she was full and satisfied. Why was it moving so fast now?

This gave her a bad feeling.

Is there something wrong with the child?

Jiang Li sat up in panic and gently touched her round belly with both hands.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the system's voice appeared in his head.

"Host, host, can you hear me?"

The system's howling sound was about to explode in her head, how could she not hear it?

"I can hear you." Jiang Li frowned and rubbed his temples gently with his hands, which made his head feel better. "Lower your voice, it's giving me a headache."

Hearing this, the system's voice lowered a little, but the panic in its tone could not be hidden, "Host, run away quickly, someone wants to kill you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Li's eyes widened instantly, and his dark pupils shrank rapidly.

"What did you say? Who? Who wants to kill me?"

Jiang Li also started to panic and quickly asked the system.

"Don't ask that for now. Run away quickly. I'll tell you later." The system paused for a moment and added silently, "Forget it. You'd better not run away. They're already at the door."

"What? So fast!"

"Let's not talk about this for now, host. According to the last agreement, I will give you fifty points of spiritual power. You just need to protect yourself and survive first!"

"Last time? Did I win the test?"

"It's kind of like that, but it's not..."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"I'm coming, I'm going to run away first, host, you're on your own!"

After the system said this, the only sound left in Jiang Li’s head was “beep-beep”.

Then she felt a warm current flowing slowly from her head to all parts of her body.

My goodness, what kind of system did she encounter? How could something go wrong and run faster than her?

She said she would protect the host, so why is there nothing here for her?

What kind of time travel is this?

As expected, just after Jiang Li finished complaining about the dog system, a group of people rushed in.

The leader was a male merman.

He also has blue hair and a blue fishtail, and looks about 40% similar to Jun Yuelan, but his whole body is filled with a sharp and cold temperament, which is completely opposite to Jun Yuelan's gentle personality.

Next to him, there was a puffer fish floating, and behind him were shrimp soldiers and crab generals holding knives and forks.

Wait, this pufferfish...

Why does it look so familiar?

"Prince Changxi, this is the female he rescued!" The puffer fish shook its fat body and reported to the mermaid, Jun Changxi, who was standing beside it.

Jiang Li then remembered that this pufferfish was the one he came here to peek at yesterday!

Jun Changxi snorted lightly, and his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, like a ray of cold light, shooting straight towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was frightened by his look and his whole body trembled, and he couldn't control his fear.

The pufferfish called him a prince? Could he be the prince of the mermaids? But why did he come here? Although he fell in by accident, he stayed here honestly and didn't do anything wrong!

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the more scared she became. Fear spread throughout her body.

She swallowed hard, her hands curled up unconsciously.

Watching her series of small movements, Jun Changxi could also see her fear.
