At dawn the next day, when Mu Qingyun got out of bed, the room next to her was cold; Su Qiluo seemed to have gotten up very early.
Taking a few deep breaths, she propped herself up on her arms and took a clean piece of clothing from the wardrobe.
She changed her clothes and went outside.
Su Qiluo was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, she turned to look at her and said, "Breakfast will be ready soon. Go wait in the living room for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun did not go to the living room, but instead walked into the kitchen, stood behind Su Qiluo, raised her hand to hug his back, and gave him a back hug.
"I'll help you."
She said softly, tugged at Su Qiluo's apron, let go, walked to the side, took the plate of food that had already been set, and placed it on the dining table.
After finishing their meal, the two rested for a while, changed into their outdoor clothes, and went to the garage.
Once inside the car, Su Qiluo tapped the destination a few times and then activated the autopilot.
The car sped up and soon arrived at its destination.
This is the deep sea. In the deep sea, a figure sits on a protruding rock, its beautiful and dazzling fish tail gently slapping the water's surface, creating ripples one after another.
“I had the Planet Guardians investigate, and only this deep sea area has been purified. No one but Kazel, who has an unknown amount of water-related abilities, could successfully purify such a large area of deep sea.”
Su Qiluo sat in the car, watching the back of the fishtail swaying, a flash of coldness passing through her eyes.
"It's up to you." He turned to look at Mu Qingyun, raising his chin in a gesture of respect. "I'll stay in the car."
"Okay." Mu Qingyun smiled, opened the car door and got out. Looking at that beautiful figure from behind, she felt a little dazed.
At first, she was genuinely drawn to Kazel's merman attributes, so she didn't pay attention to his deliberate attempts to get close to her.
Now it seems that everything was planned in advance, and even if she became "friends" with him, he would not give up on her because of this relationship.
Kazel braced himself against the rocks with both hands, his tail slapping the water's surface. This deep sea had been purified, clean and clear, free of any toxic substances.
Their mermaid race is nearly extinct, and this sea is enough for them to survive.
"They're here?" He had noticed the person behind him long ago. He turned his head and looked over. The exquisitely beautiful profile of the man was even more stunning in the reflection of the sea.
Mu Qingyun remained silent, took out a black iron dagger from her storage bag, held it in her hand, and calmly looked at Kazel sitting in the middle of the sea, quietly waiting for him to come over.
Kazel was too calm, and her unusual calmness conveyed a message.
He was waiting for her to come.
Kazel was not surprised that he did not receive a reply.
He looked up and smiled, his face turned towards the sun, feeling its warmth.
"call--"
He let out a breath, seemingly finding solace, and also appearing prepared to "go to the execution ground."
He dived into the sea, swam around in the ocean, and then swam back to the shore. With one hand on the shore, he flipped himself onto the bank and sat down, his tail still dangling in the sea.
“You’re calmer than I thought,” he said softly, wagging his tail.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun smiled helplessly, "What can we do if we're not calm? This sea has already been purified, and Qi Luo's water-based abilities are gone forever."
"Then come now..."
"I want an explanation." She interrupted him, looking up at the clear, deep sea. "You betrayed my trust and made me hurt the person I love most."
With a forced smile, she sneered, "Luckily, my Qi Luo is a reasonable person, otherwise we would probably have a lot of torturous love affairs, he would torment me, and I would torment him in return, endlessly."
"So, what kind of explanation do you want? Kill me?" Kazel's face remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever when he spoke of 'death'.
"No, killing you would only cause me a lot of trouble, it's not worth it." Mu Qingyun raised the dagger she was gripping tightly in her hand, gesturing left and right, her words piercing his heart—
"Your life is nothing compared to mine."
“Heh,” Kazel couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this, “Yes, I’m cunning and scheming, I’m a petty person, I can’t compare to you.”
“You really can’t compare to us.” Mu Qingyun’s words were deadly and full of aggression. “Qi Luo can sacrifice himself for everyone. With him around, Mytel wouldn’t dare to attack easily.”
Everyone has their own troubles. Your so-called righteousness shouldn't be built on the suffering of others. If you're so capable, try to find a solution within yourself.
Kazel's face remained calm, and he gave a wry smile: "Is that so? But his water ability isn't his own."
He paused, looked up at her, and a cruel smile crept onto his face. "What's wrong with me taking back what rightfully belongs to us?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, her mind blank for a second, but the next second, she suddenly remembered what the doctor had said.
Originally, Su Qiluo only had light abilities; his fire and water abilities were indeed obtained from others.
but……
“They gave it all voluntarily.” She stared coldly at Kazel, who was sitting on the shore, and unconsciously clenched her fists. “If they didn’t ask for it back themselves, you have no right to make decisions for them!”
"Those whose water powers he took are almost dead now!" Kazel's usually calm emotions suddenly exploded. His fishtail transformed into human legs, and he stood in front of her, roaring angrily, "He took their lives, can't I take them back now!"
"Sure, of course."
Mu Qingyun laughed angrily, "Then if you're so capable, take it back by legitimate means. It was clearly a mutual agreement back then, so how did it become a case of forcible robbery in your hands?"
She moved the dagger to her left hand, and a cluster of flames emerged from her right hand, the Samadhi Fire burning fiercely in her palm. "Look at this! I considered us friends, but you used me as a gun, pointing the muzzle at the person I love."
You're such a despicable person, yet you try to find high-sounding reasons for yourself. What, do you think such an excuse can lessen your guilt?
She unleashed all her anger at once, looking at the stunning face before her, her fists clenching and unclenching. "If you had used legitimate means, neither he nor I would have blamed you, but you are a shameless scoundrel!"
“Yes, that’s me.” Kazel smiled. “Whatever you say goes. So now, how are you going to get revenge on such a despicable person as me?”
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you die a worthy death."
She twirled her knuckles, turning the dagger around in her hand. "I've heard that if a mermaid loses her tail, she can never return to the deep sea."
Upon hearing this, Kazel's expression clearly changed. He had thought that Mu Qingyun would hit him or kill him, but he never expected that she would have such thoughts!
