The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the shadow:

"Qingxi, are you saying that we should let the mermaid pretending to be me take us to the East China Sea?"

Shadow looked at the island opposite:

"That's not true. This mermaid is a master of water. If we encounter any sea conditions, he can respond immediately. No one is more suitable to drive a boat than him."

Ren Xiaoyao was puzzled and asked, "How can we make him willingly sail to the East China Sea for us?"

Shadow turned her head and looked at Ren Xiaoyao with her signature queen smile.

This smile made Ren Xiaoyao feel pain in his chest. This smile was so charming, just like the moonlight shining on him.

Shadow said slowly: "Xiaoyao, this will require you to sacrifice your identity."

Ren Xiaoyao asked: "Oh, where should I start?"

Shadow continued, "Xiaoyao, along the way, you just need to act as my subordinate. I will call him Xiaoyao and let him lead us to the East China Sea, and then we will get rid of him secretly."

Ren Xiaoyao said: "But if he wants to do something bad to you, and I can't tolerate him continuing, what should I do?"

Shadow smiled and said, "Xiaoyao, if that happens, you can knock it out with one move, and I will brainwash it. After the brainwashing, you can do whatever you want with it when we get to the East China Sea."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a "swish" sound, and the mermaid pretending to be Ren Xiaoyao landed in front of Shadow with swiftness, pointing to the shore excitedly and saying:

"Look! I brought the boat! Look, look!"

Shadow turned his head and saw the boat he had been on moored at the shore. He then looked at the mermaid in front of him and looked at her sincerely, as if the words "—— praise me——" were almost written on his face.

Shadow reached out his hand, touched the mermaid's head, and said gently: "You are so good, but if you can't send us to the East China Sea, it can't prove that you are Ren Xiaoyao"

The mermaid had just been immersed in the joy of being patted on the head by Shadow, but when she heard the word "we", she tilted her head and shook it like a rattle: "No, I don't want to send him over, I only want to send you over~"

Shadow turned serious and said, "He is my subordinate. If you don't send him over, who will keep watch for us and pour tea and water when we kiss and hug each other?"

The Siren tilted her head and said loudly, "Really? He is your subordinate, and he is also my subordinate. Then I can bring a subordinate with me."

Shadow touched the Siren's head again:

"Well, be good, get on board and get ready to sail."

After enjoying being patted on the head, the siren jumped towards the boat excitedly.

Leaving behind was Ren Xiaoyao, who looked very awkward and had seen the whole process, and the shadow of him with eyes that looked like he was caring for a mentally retarded person.

Ren Xiaoyao firstly heard some intimate words in the conversation between Shadow and the Siren, and secondly, he saw that the Siren who was pretending to be himself could actually enjoy Shadow's intimate actions and do what she wanted, which was very awkward.

Plus, seeing a mermaid that looked exactly like me, hopping around barefoot, swaying in front of me, it felt like seeing myself possessed or mentally retarded, so sour!

Shadow seemed to notice Ren Xiaoyao's awkwardness, and said softly, "Just bear with it for a while, Xiaoyao, for the sake of your health, you will be fine once you get to the East China Sea."

In addition to the gentle tone of Shadow's words, there seemed to be a hint of coquettishness, which made Ren Xiaoyao's body go numb, and then he nodded:

"Okay, Qingxi, I'll just keep quiet all the way."

Not far away came the sound of the siren calling out loudly: "Come on~ I'm on the boat, we can sail~"

Ren Xiaoyao pulled the shadow and flew onto the boat with a light skill.

The shadow stood at the bow and said to the mermaid, "You are so good. Let's sail and reach the East China Sea as soon as possible to prove that you are free and easy."

The Siren nodded excitedly:

"Okay, okay! I want double the pats on the head then!"

Shadow looked at the deck below, then slowly raised his head and smiled politely:

"Well, let's go!"

Just like that, the ship set sail again towards the East China Sea amid the siren's excited dancing, Shadow's caring eyes for the idiot, and Ren Xiaoyao's indescribable expression.

Along the way, Ren Xiaoyao deeply realized the meaning of what Shadow had said before: "No one is more suitable for driving a boat than this Siren": they don't need to eat human food. All the food picked from the island is put in the cabin for Shadow and the others. Occasionally, they jump into the water to replenish their physical strength. Their energy seems to be always full, which is many times more useful than human boatmen.

Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi were in the cabin, eating the fruits that the mermaid had picked on the island, and looking outside the cabin leisurely.

Soon, the ship sailed on the sea for several days and nights. The mermaid was still full of energy. Shadow closed his eyes to rest, while Ren Xiaoyao remained vigilant.

Until the siren shouted at the bow: "Almost there, almost there!"

Only then did he attract the two people in the cabin to the bow.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them came out of the cabin, they saw that the sea monster, which had been working hard for several days and nights, had recovered its true form. Shadow almost vomited, but was supported by Ren Xiaoyao:

A monster with a blue body, a head like a large lizard, a huge body, eight side legs, and a yellowish-brown belly. It was looking up and sticking out its tongue excitedly at the shadow.

The siren probably hasn't noticed that she has turned back into her original form. Her eyes are still narrowed into slits, and she is wagging her tail from side to side like a pet dog, waiting for Shadow's compliments and praise.

Shadow took a deep breath, smiled, and walked in front of the mermaid. Ren Xiaoyao wanted to stop him, but Shadow walked past him.

Shadow touched the giant head of the mermaid and said, "You are so good. Now take us to find the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea to prove that you are Ren Xiaoyao!"

The siren excitedly wagged its tail and rubbed its head in Shadow's hand, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being touched on the head by Shadow.

Shadow withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The siren happily turned around and continued paddling the boat with her tail.

Not long after Shadow and Ren Xiaoyao returned to the cabin, they heard a loud noise outside the boat, which seemed to be accompanied by a scream. That noise seemed to be the voice of the mermaid who had just transformed back to her original form.

The two rushed to the bow and were shocked by the scene before them:

I saw a group of monsters in black with blue eyes appearing on the sea ahead. They were larger than the sirens on the ship. The largest one of them bit the sirens' tail with its mouth and dragged the sirens off the ship. Only the sirens' screams of pain could be heard.

Ren Xiaoyao and Shadow looked at each other, and Shadow stepped forward and shouted, "What kind of monsters are you and why are you biting it?"

The group of black monsters did not answer, but continued to bite the mermaid. The mermaid had many wounds on her body, and a lot of blue blood flowed out. The mermaid screamed in pain: "Mom! Mom!"

At this time, a creature similar to the siren appeared quickly in the sea. It seemed to be a siren. The other siren was slightly larger than the previous one. The blue color of its body and the khaki color of its abdomen were darker. It seemed to be an older siren.

The old mermaid rushed towards the group of black monsters, bit the little mermaid, and slapped it hard with its tail. The black monster, which was much larger than it, screamed and spit out the little mermaid it was biting.

The old mermaid flapped her tail again, blowing the little mermaid towards the shadow, away from the group of black monsters.

Then, he fanned Shadow's ship and the little mermaid again, and blew out a water mist barrier.

But then the old mermaid did not make any other moves, but maintained the water mist barrier and croaked loudly a few times. Although Shadow and the others could not understand, they saw that the little mermaid was crying and shouting "Mom! Mom!"

The mist barrier gradually became thinner, and the black monsters that had just been blown away surrounded them again. The old mermaid seemed to have used up all her strength and failed to repel them. All she could hear was the little mermaid crying, "Mom! Mom!"

A horrifying scene appeared. The black monsters seemed to have seen that the old mermaid had exhausted her strength and surrounded it. The one that had bitten the little mermaid before bit the old mermaid's tail hard and began to drag it towards them.

The only sounds in the air were the old siren's screams of pain and the little siren's cries.

At this time, Ren Xiaoyao said to the little mermaid: "Your fellow tribesmen are saving us, right?"

The little mermaid was still crying loudly.

Shadow seemed to know something, his eyes turned red, he walked up to the little mermaid and whispered, "It's your mother, right?"

After hearing this, the little mermaid seemed unable to hold back any longer and nodded sadly.

Shadow choked up and said, "My dear, Mommy tried her best to protect you. What she said just now meant that we should stay away from her, right?"

The little mermaid nodded, tears flying from the corners of her eyes.

Shadow wiped his eyes and said to the little mermaid, "Be good, we will listen to our mother. Now, get the boat away from here quickly."

The little siren seemed not to want to leave its mother, because in front of it, its mother was being torn apart by a black monster, and the surface of the water was covered with her blue blood.

The shadow turned around and looked at Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao seemed to understand and used his inner strength to drive the boat away.

It was not until the boat had left the place for a while and reached a place where the group of black monsters could no longer be seen. Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have consumed a lot of internal energy, and the poison was still there, so he was helped by Shadow into the cabin to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shadow left the bow, the little mermaid seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, rushed out of the boat and flew in the direction just now.

Ren Xiaoyao wanted to stop him and chase him, but he saw Shadow's eyes were filled with tears. He frowned and said, "The love of a mother in this world is the same in every species!"

When Ren Xiaoyao saw Yingzi’s tears, he reached out his hand with heartache, wanting to wipe away her tears and hold her in his arms.

At this moment, the shadow also looked at him and said to him: "Xiaoyao, can you still fly? Take me to see it again."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, then put his arm around Shadow's waist and flew towards the leading group of monsters.

But all I saw was the emptiness and silence there.

There was nothing left of what was there before, only pools of blue blood and some remaining body parts of blue mermaids on the sea surface.

Shadow was carried in the air by Ren Xiaoyao's Qinggong. Looking at the scene in front of her, she seemed to guess what happened and tears flowed down her face. When Ren Xiaoyao saw Shadow like this, he no longer cared about anything else and hugged her in his arms, letting her cry sadly in his arms.

Qi Qingxi, who saw this scene in the system space, sensed Shadow's thoughts. Although this mermaid is a monster, she is also a cute mermaid and monsters also have feelings. Shadow felt that he was the one who tricked the mermaid to the East China Sea and put it in danger. Its mother also sacrificed herself to save it.

Qi Qingxi sensed that Shadow was very sad.

Ren Xiaoyao hugged the shadow in his arms tightly, letting her tears wet his clothes. He used his internal energy to maintain his lightness skills and floated in the air.

After a while, Shadow raised his head from Ren Xiaoyao's arms and said, "Xiaoyao, let's go back to the boat first, and then think of a way."

After hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao used his lightness skills to fly back to the boat with his shadow.

The two stood at the bow, and Shadow looked at the boundless sea around them. The situation was just like when they went to Wangjiadu.

But based on what the little mermaid said just now, they guessed that this place should be very close to the East China Sea.

Ren Xiaoyao used up two waves of internal energy in a row, which was a bit too much. Shadow helped him sit down in the cabin and let him meditate to recover his internal energy. He checked the surroundings by himself.
