Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

The girl's voice had a strange magical power. Gu Sui Nuan sensed something was wrong, but he could not control his body and began to swim towards the girl.

Just when the mermaid girl's fingers were about to touch Gu Sui Nuan, Gu Sui Nuan was swept away by a current of water and away from the whirlpool.

Yu Zhan returned to Gu Sui Nuan's side without knowing when. He held Gu Sui Nuan tightly in his arms, as if he was protecting some treasure.

Facing the mermaid girl's puzzled expression, Yu Zhan spoke seriously:

"Mother, she is not a sacrifice to the ocean, she is the love I have recognized."

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this, the mermaid girl suddenly became angry, and the whirlpool water became turbulent, even the fish swimming around were frightened and fled in all directions.

"I thought you came back this time to offer a sacrifice to the ocean and atone for your betrayal. But you are still so stubborn!"

In rage, more water flowed towards the mermaid girl. Her body became much larger and she pointed at Yu Zhan and cursed.

"How could you let humans deceive you? I've told you before that land is not the place for you to go! You stayed there for ten years and were even hurt by humans. Isn't this enough to wake you up?"

It was that strange voice that almost penetrated the eardrums again. Gu Sui Nuan was protected by Yu Zhan and didn't feel anything was wrong. But Yu Zhan's hand holding Gu Sui Nuan was trembling slightly, as if he was enduring something.

"Mother, I have no regrets. Look, she was willing to come to the ocean for me, so why can't I go to the land for her?"

Yu Zhan's voice seemed to be spoken with great pain, even though it was a little hoarse, it was firm.

"The ocean is the source of life. What could happen to her in the ocean? Can it be compared to the price you paid on land? Yu Zhan, wake up!"

The mermaid girl's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

"What price?"

It can be seen that the atmosphere is somewhat tense, but Gu Sui Nuan really wants to know what price Yu Zhan will have to pay to come to the mainland.

At that time, what Yu Zhan said seemed to be deceiving her. As for the real price, Gu Sui Nuan never knew.

"Great! You didn't even tell her how miserable you'd be on land, you just went right ahead!"

The mermaid girl looked at Gu Sui Nuan's confused and curious expression. She never thought that her son was even easier to deceive than the mermaid princess in the book.

Yu Zhan ignored his mother's anger and lowered his head to smile at Gu Sui Nuan.

"What's the price? I'm fine, right?"

The mermaid girl swam towards them, not giving Yu Zhan any face and loudly sabotaging them:

"Mermaids are not suitable for living on dry, dusty land. So, the price they pay is that every breath they take is like inhaling thousands of scorched needles, burning and damaging their lungs."

"He betrayed the ocean, abandoned the fish tail it gave him, and secretly transformed into two legs in order to step on land. So the price he paid was that every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife."

The mermaid girl said this and looked at Gu Sui Nuan.

"If you really loved him, you should have realized that mermaids shouldn't live on land. You should have persuaded him to come back sooner."

"Mother, you don't have to seduce her and sow discord between us. Nuannuan naturally loves me, and it was me who kept the fact that I was heading to the mainland from her."

Before Gu Sui Nuan could respond, Yu Zhan took the lead in refuting his mother.

This scene was too much for Simingbo to bear:

[From today on, the image of the Emperor in my eyes has changed from the cold and aloof Emperor of Heaven with the strongest fighting power to a desperate love-minded man. ]

Gu Sui Nuan: ...

She looked up at Yu Zhan, reached out to hold his face, and made Yu Zhan lower his head to look at her.

“Yu Zhan, are you really in so much pain on land?”

Yu Zhan remained silent, seemingly unwilling to answer.

"If you don't say it, I'll take it as my admission."

"...I don't feel any pain." After hearing what Gu Sui Nuan said, Yu Zhan had no choice but to speak, "If I walk towards you and get close to you, then it won't hurt."

Gu Sui Nuan sighed, feeling sorry for him: "Yu Zhan, how could you be so stupid? I almost doubt if I have cast a spell on you."

"No." Yu Zhan replied, not knowing what he was denying.

He looked at Gu Sui Nuan, who seemed to be easy to talk to now, and asked carefully: "My injury has recovered. Can I still go back to land with you?"

"I will think about it."

"Yu Zhan!"

Gu Sui Nuan and the mermaid girl's words rang out at the same time, but the mermaid girl's voice was much louder, as if she was about to be angered by Yu Zhan.

"Yu Zhan, this is not the time for you to act on impulse. It might be okay for others, but not for her. The vitality of the ocean is getting less and less now, and her soul is the most suitable sacrifice." The mermaid girl seemed very satisfied with Gu Sui Nuan's soul, and insisted on making Gu Sui Nuan a sacrifice.

"Mother, no. I won't let her become a sacrifice." Yu Zhan refused firmly.

"Yu Zhan, give her to me!"

The atmosphere became tense again, and the mermaid girl even used her ability again to try to make Yu Zhan obedient.

"Wait a minute!" Gu Sui Nuan broke the stalemate. "Yu Zhan, can you take me around this palace?"

"Okay." Yu Zhan agreed immediately and hugged Gu Sui Nuan away from her angry mother.

"Come back, come back to me!" Behind them, the mermaid girl was still screaming.

.

There is no distinction between day and night in Guixu. Little blue fish swim in the sea, providing light here, revealing a strange beauty everywhere.

When Gu Sui Nuan approached the whirlpool, the girl who merged with the water flow slowly appeared. The mermaid girl looked around Gu Sui Nuan and did not find Yu Zhan. She looked at Gu Sui Nuan with some surprise.

"I can be a sacrifice, but not now." Gu Sui Nuan went straight to the point.

Seeing the strong vigilance and distrust in the mermaid girl's eyes, Gu Sui Nuan explained.

"I will eventually leave him, so this is not a bad destination."

The mermaid girl moved closer, resting her chin on her hand, as if she was lying in the water looking at Gu Sui Nuan.

"Child, your soul comes from somewhere else, right? Is death your mission? But you are too naive. Guixu doesn't want your life, but your soul."

"Look at those fish swimming around. Don't you understand?"

Gu Sui Nuan raised his eyes and looked at the blue fish. A fish that had lost its way crashed into the whirlpool and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Then is there no other way? A way to restore the vitality of the sea without devouring souls."

The mermaid girl looked at Gu Sui Nuan's face, feeling a little surprised. She was obviously protected by Yu Zhan, so there was no need for her to meddle in other people's affairs. Why was she worrying about these things?

“The souls wandering on the sea are the families that people on land miss day and night. They should go home.”

"Oh... So you want to use yourself to exchange for the souls of these fishes to return to their homeland?" The mermaid girl thought for a moment and answered for Gu Sui Nuan, "It's not that there is no way. If you humans stop destroying the ocean, the ocean will naturally recover."

"But... can you really do it?"
