Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The seawater was warmed by the sun and wasn't so cold anymore. Akahoshi followed Shiratama into the water, and through the clear water, they could see the colorful seabed.

Baiyu, holding Akahoshi's small hand in his large one, dived into the sea. With another flick of his tail, he brought Akahoshi up to breathe and asked in a deep voice, "Will this work?"

Akahoshi reacted quickly and didn't choke. He worked hard to get used to holding his breath underwater, and with his superhuman strength, he quickly dived to a depth of over ten meters. (Don't try this, kids! Always bring proper equipment and an instructor when diving. Akahoshi isn't human, and Ayu will protect him.)

The emerald green seaweed swayed gently in the water, the brightly colored little fish darted among the coral reefs, and the marine life such as starfish, conch, and coral was dazzling.

Chixing pointed to the giant lobster crawling on the rock. Baiyu asked him if he wanted to eat it. When Chixing nodded, he went to catch it.

The two of them quickly collected a lot of seafood. Since they had nothing to put it in, Baiyu used long seaweed to tie it up. This kind of seaweed seemed to be unique to this place. It was very thin but very strong.

After getting ashore, Akahoshi made a little skirt out of banana leaves and wrapped it around her waist, then took off her clothes to dry them.

"You should have taken off your clothes before going into the water."

Baiyu lay on the reef watching his movements and talking to him.

Akahoshi imagined himself walking his bird in the sea, and a chill ran down his spine.

"No, just dry them in the sun."

He then began cooking for the day again, even taking out a stone pot to cook seafood soup.

Large seashells were used to make bowls, and small seashells were tied together with twigs to make small spoons. Akahoshi's handicrafts were quite good, and she made two sets of tableware in a decent manner.

Bai Yu was on the reef, occasionally helping him cut tree branches.

Now I realize that Bai Yu's fingernails are really sharp; they can even cut through stone, and there isn't even a small scratch on them.

In the original storyline, it was only because the firearms were so powerful that, otherwise, with Bai Yu's combat strength, those people would have died in the sea.

After a flurry of activity, Baiyu enjoyed her first seafood soup at Yusheng and finally understood what Chixing meant by "a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste."

He became even more certain of Akahoshi as a friend, and if he could, he really wanted to keep Little Star with him.

"Little Star, you're amazing."

Bai Yu took a bite of the shrimp and shared her opinion of him.

Over the course of a few months, they learned each other's languages ​​and built a small hut on the beach where they slept at night.

Akahoshi cooked all the available ingredients for Hakutama, and after they finished eating, they went to play in the sea together, living a carefree life.

On a warm morning, the mermaids from afar arrived. Bai Yu had been out for a long time and needed to return to the royal city.

Just as I was thinking of arranging for someone to take care of Akahoshi here, another black mermaid arrived.

"Your Majesty, ships have arrived this way."

Akahoshi clenched her fists, her heart sinking.

250 quickly said, "Your Highness, please return first and stop Chi Lin's plot to harm the Chi family. You can come back to see the Immortal Lord then."

How could he not know? He just didn't want to be separated from Ayu.

Bai Yu cannot abandon Atlantis. Even if he goes back with him, Chi Xing is not capable of protecting him now. The best way is to go back first and make himself stronger.

"Your Majesty, a ship is coming from over there!" the merman shouted from behind.

Bai Yu quickly swam to the shore, and Chi Xing ran over even faster, reaching out to hug him.

"Ayu, don't forget me. I'm in Lingcheng, Country A. If you can, can you come find me, Ayu?"

Bai Yu patted his back reassuringly: "Yes, I will come to find you after I've taken care of things. You can't forget me, we're good friends."

Even though he had only saved a cub, Bai Yu couldn't be happy at all that he was going back. At that moment, he wanted to take Chi Xing home and lock him up.

But reason told him that this was wrong; Little Star would die in the sea, and besides, he was human.

The boat was moored not far away, and someone was rowing a small boat this way.

Akahoshi sat on the reef, flames burning behind him, thick smoke billowing upwards, suggesting that he might be calling for help every day.

Before boarding the ship, Akahoshi glanced at the sea, knowing that Ayu was watching him from the water.

Akahoshi's face was more pale than ever before, his eyes were red and his lips were pale. Everyone thought he had suffered a lot here.

Someone picked him up and comforted him: "Xingxing, don't be afraid, we'll be home soon. Your parents are waiting for you."

This man is named Li Xiao. He is a good friend of his father and often goes to sea to do business. He is quite familiar with the situation at sea, and this time he was the one who directed the people to come here.

Chixing sniffed, called out "Uncle Li," and then buried his head on his shoulder.

As the ship sailed away, Bai Yu felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, her mind filled with Chi Xing's face. Looking in the direction the ship had left, Bai Yu led the mermaid into the deep sea.

Upon learning that Chi Xing was still alive, the Chi family immediately sent people to the port to pick him up. No one noticed that Chi Lin took advantage of the chaos to leave the Chi family.

Seeing her son found, Akashi's mother hugged Akashi and cried for a long time.

Chi Yi, his eyes also red, said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Come on, come home quickly. I've had someone make your favorite food."

Upon arriving at the Chi family home, Chi Xing did not see Chi Lin and asked, "Dad, where is Uncle?"

Chi Yi knew that his son and younger brother had a good relationship, so when he didn't see them, he assumed that Chi Lin was busy with something.

"He just started college and is probably busy with his homework."

Chi Lin revealed his ambition as soon as he came of age, first killing Chi Xing, and then Chi Xing's sister Chi Yue.

Thinking of that pretty five-year-old girl, Akahoshi asked, "Where's my little sister?"

"I'm waiting for you to come home. I said I have a surprise for you," said Mother Chi.

Chi Mu's name was Yun Xian. She was gentle and generous, and looked very much like her mother in her first life.

After Akahoshi disembarked, she clung to him and refused to let go.

Seeing the woman laughing and crying at the same time, Akahoshi reached out and wiped away her tears: "Mom, I'm okay, don't cry."

"Mom is happy. I've been so worried about her these past few days."

They simply couldn't understand how the child had fallen into the water.

When they arrived home, Grandpa Chi was already waiting in the living room, with five-year-old Chi Yue by his side.

Seeing that everyone was alright, the whole family was terrified. They had thought that Chi Xing was really gone, and even Grandpa Chi's hair had turned quite white.

After Chixing returned home, Yunxian took him to wash up.

Akatsuki followed along with red eyes, waiting. Only when Akashi came out of the bathroom did Akatsuki cry and call out for her brother.

"Don't cry, child, your brother is alright." Yunxian picked up the little girl and comforted her.

"Waaah, Uncle said my brother is dead..."

She hasn't dared to cry these past few days, afraid of upsetting her mother. Luckily, her brother came back.

"Thank goodness, brother, brother isn't dead..."

Chiyue sobbed, holding a small box in her hand.

Yunxian frowned, thinking it was some driver or bodyguard talking nonsense, and for a moment she didn't realize that the uncle she was talking about was Chilin.
