"Xiao Jie, are you going to go on without food or drink? I know Jun Yuelan's death is a big blow to you, but you still have to think about Elder Xingyu. He is still injured for us."
Xiaojie lowered his head, looking lonely.
He really wants to escape now and doesn't want to face reality.
His closest friend was gone, and his most respected elder was injured.
Now only the weak ones are left here.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie felt even more depressed.
"Xiao Jie, Xiao Gui...what did you...just say..."
Jiang Li's voice was very soft and a little trembling.
Xiaojie and Xiaogui, who were in a low mood, couldn't believe their ears after hearing this familiar voice.
He raised his head in horror and looked back.
"Xiao Li..."
The two of them opened their eyes wide, their bodies trembled slightly, and they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
After confirming that the person behind him was indeed a real person, Xiao Jie could no longer control his emotions. He swam over and hugged Jiang Li with his small body.
"Xiao Li, it's really you!"
The little turtle also pounced over and touched Jiang Li's arm with its soft little paws.
Being able to touch it and feeling the body temperature, that’s the feeling!
The person in front of him is the real Jiang Li, not an illusion created by others.
But Jiang Li was in no mood to coax them; the only thing on her mind was the conversation between the two of them.
"Xiaogui, Xiaojie, I want to ask you..." She took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and asked the question with difficulty.
"Is what you just said true? Jun Yuelan is...dead?"
Hearing this question, Xiaojie and Xiaogui's faces turned ugly.
They all lowered their heads, hesitating and not daring to speak.
"Tell me! Is it true?"
Jiang Li also lost his temper and started yelling at them.
This was the first time she lost her temper with them.
They also knew that she was worried about Jun Yuelan's whereabouts and comfort, and she was not angry about it.
Seeing Xiaojie with a sullen face and tightly pursed lips, he remained silent.
The little turtle sighed helplessly.
Only he can say it.
"Xiao Li, I told you not to be too sad."
Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.
After the conversation between the two just now, she knew the result, but she was still unwilling to continue asking, fearing that she had heard it wrong.
In fact, he is just like Xiaojie now, just running away.
She took a long breath, and her eyes and nose felt slightly sore.
She held back the tears in her eyes and nodded heavily.
"Well, go ahead."
"After you left, the king found out that he had secretly saved you, raised the offspring of the fox tribe, and hurt his brother, so he was sentenced to death."
After Xiaogui's last words, Jiang Li could no longer control his emotions.
A teardrop fell without warning as he spoke.
Her eyes were dazed and she sat powerlessly on the cold ground, covering her face with her hands. Countless tears flowed out from between her fingers and fell to the ground as if they were free.
"how so……"
Her body was shaking and her voice was hoarse.
Her heart felt as if pierced by thousands of arrows, the pain was so excruciating that even her breathing became heavy.
"It's all because of me."
Jiang Li kept blaming himself.
If Jun Yuelan hadn't saved her, he wouldn't have lost his life.
The biggest root of all comes from her.
When Xiao Jie saw Jiang Li like this, he felt even more distressed.
He swam to Jiang Li and gently patted her head with his tail.
"Xiao Li, this is not your fault."
He spoke softly, comforting Jiang Li.
But how could Jiang Li, who was in a state of collapse and discomfort, listen to these words?
"No, it's all my fault!" She looked up and moved her hands away, her eyes wide open and bloodshot.
"I wish he hadn't saved me...none of this would have happened." Her voice became weaker and weaker, her eyes staring blankly ahead, her lips whispering softly, "I wish he hadn't saved me."
Xiaojie felt sorry for her and didn't want her to continue to be sad.
"Xiao Li, I went to see Jun Yuelan before he was executed."
He took a deep breath and told Jun Yuelan's last words.
"He knew you would be devastated after hearing the news. He didn't want to see you sad and upset. He wanted to cheer you up. He also knew you would definitely come back, so he asked me to give you his last words."
"What did he say?"
Jiang Li's lifeless eyes became lively after hearing these words.
"He said, I never regret saving you and falling in love with you. I don't want you to live with a burden in the future. I believe that this is just a short separation and we will meet again in the future."
After Jun Yuelan decided to save her, he was ready to be punished and executed.
In particular, Jiang Li gave birth to a child of the fox clan, their arch-enemy.
As a prince of the mermaids, even though he is not welcomed, it is not in his blood to do such a thing as resisting and betraying the mermaids.
"What about his body? Where is it now?"
She wanted to see Jun Yuelan one last time, even if it was just his body.
They even wanted to carry his body out of the terrifying and dark Sana River.
Unexpectedly, Xiaojie and Xiaogui shook their heads at the same time.
Little Turtle: “We don’t know.”
Xiao Jie: "I have inquired. Jun Yuelan's body was secretly disposed of by Wang. Some even said that Wang threw his body into the deep sea and fed it to sharks."
Jiang Li collapsed again after hearing this.
"How could he do this? Jun Yuelan is his child!"
The tiger is more poisonous than the lion. How could he be so cruel as to feed Jun Yuelan's body to the sharks? Even death cannot tolerate him?
Xiao Jie shook his head. "We don't know the details. We can only obey the king's decision unconditionally."
Yes, to the Mermaid King, they are just a bunch of ants that can be easily crushed to death.
Originally, Xiao Jie thought that after conveying Jun Yuelan's last words to Jiang Li, she would be able to cheer up.
But she didn't expect to hear that Jun Yuelan's body was gone. Jiang Li covered her face and started crying again.
"Xiao Li, don't be sad."
The little turtle waved its four paws in panic.
He hasn't even comforted Xiaojie yet, and now there's another person.
Although their turtle elder said that when encountering problems, don't panic and just hide in your shell.
But how could he retreat into his shell in the face of something like this?
He felt so busy and overwhelmed.
"I promised Xiao Rui that I would bring his father back with me this time... but now I can't even see his body..."
Jiang Li couldn't stop sobbing, crying out of breath, and even his words were intermittent.
Little Turtle was also in a panic, and didn't hear what Jiang Li said at all. He subconsciously spit out words to catch up with her.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you can't see him, then you can't see him. And don't let him be so sad."
