Chapter 47
Cassel's whole body was cold and his lips were trembling. At that moment, he didn't even have the courage to look at Nie Wuhen. He felt that he had done something wrong. Nie Wuhen was so good to him, why did he let him become possessed and destroy him?
He began to feel conflicted and regretful. For the first time, Barbatos' decision was questioned. Should we act like a devil towards our benefactor?
Cassel was so immersed in his own thoughts that even after Nie Wuhen called him twice, he did not come back to his senses. He did not move, but just stood there stiffly, shaking all over.
After hearing so much, would Nie Wuhen hate himself for it? But am I not a devil? Isn't it normal to be hated by others? Cassel's head hurt a little. He lowered his body and thought sadly, how could he avoid being disliked by Nie Wuhen?
The sound of weapons colliding brought Cassel back to his senses. Cassel looked up blankly and saw the white and blue figures moving quickly. Every time they collided, a huge energy wave was generated, sweeping across the surrounding corals and rocks.
The rippling sea water was stirring Cassel's eardrums. Cassel lowered his eyes and was about to walk deeper when someone grabbed his arm. He was startled and looked back in panic. When he saw that it was an acquaintance, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bai Yi," Cassel pulled back his arm and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"That's what I'm asking," Bai Yi spread his hands and smiled, "You're my friend, and if you get caught, I'll come naturally!"
friend……
"In fact, it should have been earlier," Bai Yi was trying to improve his brother's favorability. "As soon as you arrived in the South China Sea, my brother arrived right after you. He wanted to save you, but his heart of ruthlessness was unstable and he almost became a demon. He was captured by Master and knelt in the snow for a whole night. He only had one breath left."
Cassel was shocked, and then his eyes were filled with heartache and urgency. He looked at the fighting figure, and his voice was trembling: "Bai Yi, can you help me unlock it... My magic power has been sealed again, and I can't use it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yi took out the bottle and poured a drop of liquid onto the chain on his wrist. In an instant, the chain, which was as hard as black iron, began to soften, then slowly cracked and fell off.
"Here," Bai Yi handed him another bottle, "Eat it and see if your wounds and magic power have recovered."
Cassel didn't hesitate. He took it and ate it all. Bai Yi was too late to stop him: "It's too much! Can you handle this much?!"
Cassel said nothing. The heat flow mobilized the magic power that was sealed in the blood and concentrated it at a place behind him. The wings began to come alive, and the white feathers seemed to glow. The pure magic power slowly spread out, and with the flapping of the wings, it instantly doubled in concentration.
It was also the first time that Bai Yi felt his ability so intuitively. He watched the two people who were fighting suddenly stop in place. All living things around them, except him and Cassel, were frozen.
Including the coral reef, where there is a fox demon hiding and watching, the evil cultivator who is ready to make a move, and the mermaids rushing towards this side from afar.
Bai Yi was stunned: "I understand now, when you cast a spell, anyone who is close to you will not be implicated."
Cassel said in a muffled voice: "I don't know either..."
Bai Yi: “…” He swam over, tied up Ji Chuya with the demon-suppressing chain, and fed him a pill that made him unconscious the moment he woke up. He was about to ask Nie Wuhen if he wanted to leave now, but then he saw Nie Wuhen’s shadow behind him!
This is clearly Ji Chuya wearing her wedding dress!
Bai Yi felt cold all over. He didn't think he could make such a low-level mistake as to misjudge his senior brother. Just as he was about to cast a spell, he saw guests of all sizes gathering around him from all directions.
Various monsters in the sea...
A mermaid said: "Your Majesty, this is..."
"Friend." Nie Wuhen changed his appearance to Ji Chuya, leaving Bai Yi with his back. Bai Yi stood behind him, his heart falling from high to low. He forced a smile and bowed to the people around him, while quickly covering the demon-slaying chain. "I am a casual cultivator, and I was invited by... Chuya to attend his wedding banquet. I happened to see him in trouble, so I helped him."
Nie Wuhen waved his hand and locked Ji Chuya into the underwater prison. He looked at the people around him in Ji Chuya's skin. His cold eyes swept around and finally fell on Cassel who was slowly retreating. He moved over.
Cassel naively thought that Bai Yi had tied up the wrong person, and his heart was broken at that moment. He kept backing away, but the mermaids behind him blocked his way and respectfully asked him to go back.
Cassel didn't move. He watched "Ji Chuya" walk over and extend his hand to him.
Everyone around is watching.
"Can we... not trade?" Cassell asked him with a trembling voice, clutching his clothes.
Nie Wuhen was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and slowly uttered two words: "Deal." He looked at the curious people around him, took a step forward, and then he saw Cassel take two steps back, his shoulders trembling, scared to death.
A mermaid said, "Dear guests, please take your seats."
Bai Yi came back to his senses. He held the fan in his hand and smiled at the merman who was polite to him. His eyes fell on Nie Wuhen again, but he didn't say anything more and turned and left.
After a while, all the guests, big and small, left with gossip. As soon as they left, the place suddenly became quiet.
Nie Wuhen waved his hand and let the other mermaids leave. In this world, only Cassel and he were left.
Cassel flapped his wings and almost curled up into a ball. He felt that he had done something wrong again. He shouldn't have used magic, he really shouldn't have. If Nie Wuhen hates him, then he can hate him. It is better than falling for this stinky fish.
"I," Cassel forced himself to remain calm, but he began to choke up at the first word he spoke. He sobbed and continued, "I don't have anything to exchange, but I can give you my wings to make clothes. Can you please let Nie Wuhen go?"
Nie Wuhen lowered his head. He stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, but before his hand touched Cassel's face, the latter subconsciously dodged, but then seemed to think of something, came over, cried, pressed his soft, wet cheek against his palm, and said: "I just want Nie Wuhen to be fine... I will be obedient, I won't struggle, really, please let him go, let him go..."
Nie Wuhen's heart trembled. The other hand was already clenched, and he gently wiped Cassel's tears, smoothed his slightly messy hair, and loosened the tangled night pearls.
He said: "I like Nie Wuhen so much."
Cassel didn't dare to nod, he just cried and begged him to let Nie Wuhen go. Cassel didn't struggle as his chin was lifted up. He followed the force and looked up at him. Then he saw the face he had been thinking about.
Cassel's breathing stopped.
The usually dark brown eyes seemed to be tinged with a hint of smile, the corners of the almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and the light pink thin lips were slightly pursed. Nie Wuhen leaned over, touched Cassel's nose with his tall nose, and then slowly moved.
He held Cassel's face and kissed it devoutly, kissing away his tears. It was probably the first time he kissed him so actively. He just touched him and then left. Cassel even forgot to cry. He just stared at him blankly, and Nie Wuhen pursed his lips unnaturally.
Nie Wuhen tried his best to soften his tone. Although he didn't usually speak like that, it sounded a little stiff the first time he said it.
He said, “Don’t cry anymore.”
"We," Nie Wuhen's voice was tense and trembling slightly. He took a deep breath and felt his voice floating in the sky, erratic and without substance. "Let's get married, okay?"
The auspicious time has arrived.
The mermaid guards, who had been asked for help three times, were panicked and came over to the witch and whispered that they could not find the king.
The witch's hands trembled slightly. He was silent and began to tell fortunes - five yins below and one yang above, yin was strong and yang was weak, peeling and erosion.
The witch didn't move for a long time.
The guests below were talking about it. A demon nearby asked, "Why haven't the bride and groom come out yet? Could it be...something happened?"
A mermaid immediately retorted: "Bah! Try talking nonsense again or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Hey! Wasn't what I said right?! It's all spread out there, they're in love, and it was you, the Mermaid King, who stole their bride! Otherwise, whose wedding banquet would be held so hastily! I'm waiting to see the show today, to see the guy at the top of the cloud, come and grab the bride!"
"You are talking nonsense! The Queen is our Queen! Whoever marries first gets the title! What's so hasty about that? It's because our King loves her sincerely!"
The two sides immediately started to quarrel, and even started fighting. It was only when the witch slammed the table that everyone calmed down. She ordered someone to bring the food and said, "Eat first. Someone come and invite them later."
The last demon cultivator lurking around was killed. Nie Wuhen put away the Wuwang Sword and turned around to look at Cassel who was following closely behind him and eating a candied haws.
Cassel swallowed a mouthful of the candied haws hard, and after finishing it, he touched it again - it was gone. He touched his head somewhat embarrassedly, glanced at Nie Wuhen, and whispered that he had finished eating.
Nie Wuhen felt a little distressed. He looked at Cassel and said, "Did you not eat enough these days?"
Cassel nodded. As soon as he talked about this, he became excited, and his grievance also came up. He kept talking about how Ji Chuya forced him to eat fish, and that Ji Chuya was a vicious mermaid...
Nie Wuhen listened patiently, and when Cassel finished speaking, he said, "I have destroyed Ji Chuya's magic power. I have integrated the mermaid pearl into Bai Yi's elixir and returned it to him. You will never have to see him again."
Cassel rushed over to hug him and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
The only thing he was thankful for now was that the so-called deal was not agreed to due to Ji Chuya's distrust, and Nie Wuhen did not hear it.
Cassel decided to bury the matter and never mention it again. There was no rush to go home. Barbatos was not in that rush anyway, and he was sure that Nie Wuhen had full favorability towards him.
Nie Wuhen carried him on his back and swam towards the shore. Cassel lay on his back, hugging his neck. He looked back and asked curiously, "Where's Bai Yi?"
"Banquet." Nie Wuhen replied, "Let's go to the shore first."
