Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

The birth of a new mermaid is a rare and momentous event for the mermaid race.

It is also a rare opportunity to bring together the mermaids who are scattered and at will.

Gu Yao was waiting outside the ancestral land early in the morning. The priest stood in the center of the altar, and everyone was solemnly waiting for the ancestral land to open.

Gu Yao stood at the very front, followed by the entire mermaid clan. Looking at the ever-changing ancestral land before him, he felt a sense of tension for the first time.

Standing in this position, it realized for the first time that it carried the weight of the merfolk on its shoulders.

too heavy.

He really doesn't want to take on the responsibility.

His shoulders weren't broad; he just wanted the little fisherman to lean on him.

The priest looked at the dazed king and coughed lightly.

[Your Majesty, the ancestral land is about to open.]

Gu Yao snapped out of his reverie, looked back across the altar, and nodded.

The ancestral land of the mermaids has been opened, and only the current king may enter.

The powerful magic repelled the seawater, and the mermaids surrounding the ancestral land bowed their heads, welcoming the future of the next generation of the mermaid race.

"Sege!" (Blessing!)

The overwhelming magical power made Gu Yao instinctively adopt a defensive stance.

But when the magic got close, it became exceptionally gentle, like a spring breeze, making one feel refreshed without any oppression.

Gu Yao felt the affinity of that magic power and sighed softly. He turned his head and looked back. All the clansmen behind him were suppressed by this magic power and could not lift their heads. Even the fish that were avoiding him from afar were trembling with fear.

The magic of fingertips takes shape.

Gu Yao, however, was somewhat hesitant to accept the offer.

The priest looked at the composed king, a hint of surprise flashing in his usually calm eyes. He moved slightly, then turned his gaze back to the ancestral land.

It seems that the king has gained the full approval of the ancestral land.

Without further hesitation, Gu Yao composed himself, flicked his tail fin, and darted rapidly toward the ancestral land.

The ancestral home of mermaids is magnificent and fantastical, shimmering with beautiful light and colorful hues, like the aurora borealis on the seabed.

However, Gu Yao had no time to appreciate the scenery; he followed the guidance and swam deeper into the ancestral land.

He could sense that the newborn mermaid was just ahead.

Its dorsal fin was also visible, and it swam inward at full speed.

The priest's expression wasn't too good; he felt that something was amiss.

When Gu Yao emerged from the ancestral land with the two little mermaids, he sighed softly.

Before he could react, the ancestral land had already closed.

A beautiful blue fish tail swam swiftly in the seawater and slowly came to rest above the altar.

Magic gathered on the silver-white staff, gently lifting the newborn mermaid. The priest slowly closed his eyes, chanting complex incantations to communicate with the mermaid's ancestral land.

The gods bestowed divine light upon the newborn mermaids.

Gu Yao stood on the altar, observing everything, and gently bowed.

Waiting for the end of this ritual.

Solemn and peaceful.

After a long while, the newborn mermaid slowly stretched out her curled-up body, and even her dull scales were tinged with a new luster.

White magic enveloped the newborn mermaid, who fell into the priest's arms.

Newborn mermaids have a temporary haven, where they are placed in soft clam shells on an altar and nourished by the magic of their people.

However, the survival rules of mermaids also do not allow for any of their kind to be too cowardly.

A month later, the newborn mermaids will be removed from the altar and left to fend for themselves in the dog-eat-dog ocean.

Gu Yao, as the king of the mermaids, also has to stay in the ocean for a month.

***

The feeling of magic being slowly drained was not pleasant, but fortunately, this torment was about to end.

The priest in the center of the altar slowly rose, gently raised his staff, and the connection between the altar and the ancestral land was severed.

Meanwhile, the two little mermaids, who had been asleep for a month, awoke at this time and reached their juvenile stage.

Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, there was nothing more for him to do.

Basic instruction should be carried out by the priests.

They walked slowly out with their clansmen, each with a smile on their face, as if they had accomplished something important.

The priest, holding two little mermaids, gently stopped Gu Yao.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving?"

Gu Yao nodded.

The little fisherman is still waiting for him.

It's been a month, I wonder what kind of temper the little rascal will throw this time.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao sighed softly.

Mermaids never force themselves to live in groups; they have always lived scattered throughout the ocean.

Only such a rare and momentous event could bring all the clansmen together.

The priest looked at the two little mermaids in his arms, then at the king who was staring blankly at the sea, and waved his hand.

"Since you're still thinking about that human, you should leave now."

This is an unavoidable experience in Wang's life.

He couldn't stop him.

Gu Yao pursed his lips.

He knew what the priest was worried about.

However, he owed the boy a great deal, and the world really didn't want to care about him anymore.

Throughout these hundred years, all he wanted to do was protect Ryan.

"Priest, I will find a way, don't worry."

Gu Yao leaped suddenly and swam quickly towards the sea.

Gazing at the sea, my heart yearns to return home.

The priest was stunned, staring blankly in the direction Gu Yao had left.

king……

The little mermaid in his arms gently tugged at his arm, and the priest snapped out of his reverie, his gaze softening.

It's only been a century.

We can still wait.

***

Gu Yao pursed his lips and hurried towards the capital.

He never expected that the guards who came to pick up Ryan would dare to attack him.

They got impatient after waiting for a few days.

The thought of the dried bloodstains in the courtyard, the withered roses in the garden, and the chaotic room made Gu Yao unable to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

He thought that since the little brat was a prince, he could hold out for a while.

As long as he returns, no one can hurt him.

Gu Yao gritted his teeth.

"Have you heard? The guards from the capital seem to have arrested someone. I heard it was a prince who had been living away from home."

"What prince? I saw the child covered in blood when they forced him into the carriage."

"They can actually harm such a beautiful face. No wonder they're the Royal Guard; they're ruthless."

"..."

Gu Yao no longer wanted to think about how he felt to hear these words; he only prayed that nothing would happen to the little brat.

Call it indulgence or loss of reason.

He just felt... he owed him too much.
