Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Shen Yu immediately got up and went outside. The sea breeze carried a salty smell, and large raindrops hit her face.

He instinctively raised his hand to shield himself, and then walked outside, his robes instantly soaked by the rain.

The singing mixed with the sound of rain became clearer. The song was ethereal and clear, low and melodious, as if it were weeping and lamenting, as if it struck Shen Yu's heart and plucked at his heartstrings.

Following the direction from which the singing came, Shen Yu couldn't help but walk to the side of the ship. At the same time, another warship was already heading in that direction.

[Immortal Lord, those are General Chen Xiaowu's ships! Hurry and catch up with them, or His Highness will be tricked!] 250 is anxious.

The adjutant Zhou Zhu, who was following beside him, spoke up: "They're here too, Your Highness. Their ships seem different from ours, and we don't know what those black holes are. Should we chase after them?"

Shen Yu caught a glimpse of the enemy's warships; those dark, gaping holes were not mere decorations, but cannons.

In my memory, this was an era of cold weapons, so these cannons and ammunition must have been made by that emperor who traveled through time.

250 was so anxious he wanted to jump out of the Immortal Lord's sea of ​​consciousness, but worried about causing trouble for the Immortal Lord, so he could only anxiously ask:

【Immortal Lord, shall we not pursue them?】

Shen Yu sneered: [Chase them? What do you think our chances of winning are if they find out?]

250: ...

250 fell silent. His own side only had cold weapons like swords, spears, and bows and arrows, with the more advanced ones being crossbows.

The enemy on the other side was a cannon; otherwise, in the original story, Chu Yufeng wouldn't have suffered a complete defeat this time.

【Then go and bring His Highness here.】250 suggested again.

Shen Yu glanced at it, her eyes seeming to say: Are you sure your small body can catch a merman?

250: X﹏X

The Immortal Lord is indeed more capable of hurting people's hearts than His Highness. His Highness might only be struck by lightning twice, but the Immortal Lord is like killing a cat and destroying the heart.

Shen Yu turned around and ordered everyone to return to their destination. Now that he had become the Prince of Jin, he could not let his own affairs lead to the deaths of everyone.

Military orders are absolute, and although the people did not understand them, they dared not disobey.

Just when 250 thought the Immortal Lord was going to abandon His Highness, Shen Yu arranged a small boat for himself, and while no one was paying attention, he left a letter in the room and left the warship.

The torrential rain at sea has stopped, but the wind and waves are still very strong. Without divine power, Shen Yu could easily be swept into the sea and drown if he is not careful.

On the dark sea, a small boat, like a mayfly, drifted with the raging winds and towering waves.

The seawater was as deep as ink. With the wind and waves, Shen Yu held the oars in both hands to adjust the direction, waiting for the wind to carry him to the place where the song came from.

Several warships were moored near the island; those were Chen Xiaowu's troops.

Shen Yu's eyes lit up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "Xiao Wu, go and burn down the ammunition depots on those ships. I'll treat you to seafood later."

250 thought to himself: Sure enough, how could it forget that the Immortal Lord's reputation is about the same as His Highness's, a second-generation tyrant of the Heavenly Realm.

However, seeing the bad guys suffer made 250 extremely happy: 【Alright, I'll go right away.】

Shen Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Wait for my notification before ordering."

He hasn't found Akahoshi yet. That guy's a coward; the explosion was so loud, he'll definitely be scared.

That's right, he wants to see Akahoshi's terrified expression; it'll be very interesting.

He was determined to make a huge fool of Chi Xing. Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Shen Yu's face.

The small boat was moving very fast, but Chen Xiaowu had already reached a group of reefs. He instructed the others to avoid them, and then got off the boat and headed towards the direction of the singing.

The reefs in the sea are not high above the water, and the mysterious merman sits on the reefs.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Xiaowu wouldn't have believed in the existence of merfolk at all. No matter what merfolk looked like, as long as he could bring them back, he was sure he could please His Majesty.

It is said that the Merfolk are all human-bodied with fish tails, as beautiful as celestial beings descended to earth, with blue eyes that can reflect the moonlight, tears that fall as bright white pearls, and scales as hard as armor.

The closer Chen Xiaowu got, the more excited he became.

He did not notice another small boat being pushed by the waves on the other side, and Shen Yu on the boat.

Her smooth, wavy black hair, like seaweed, cascaded down her back, which was as white as the moon. Below were jet-black scales that shimmered with a hint of turquoise. Her nearly three-meter-long tail swayed gently with the waves.

Its tail fin spreads out like a light veil, appearing dreamlike in the seawater, but unfortunately, no one pays much attention to it.

They were all stunned by the mermaid's face when she turned around. Her face was so white it seemed to glow, with a high nose bridge and delicate features, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

The sides of its face are faintly covered with translucent, grayish-black scales, and its ears are black like small fans with spikes. When it sings, its ears tremble slightly.

With powerful arms gently resting on the rocks, the merman faced the moonlight that appeared after the clouds dispersed and sang softly.

Another gust of wind swept across the sea, and Shen Yu maneuvered the small boat away from the reef, reaching a point on the sea that was not far away but out of sight.

Just as Chen Xiaowu was about to speak, a melodious flute sound came from somewhere.

Sometimes it flows like a gentle stream, sometimes it is deep and resonant like a call that transcends time and space, striking the depths of the soul.

The moonlight was like water, and the mermaid's song paused for a moment when she heard the sound of the flute, before rising even higher.

The sounds of the flute and the singing blended together on the wind, as if expressing longing for a lover, or as if venting the joy of a long-awaited reunion, intertwining with each other in delicate strands.

After the song ended, Chen Xiaowu spoke: "I am..."

With a "plop," Chen Xiaowu had only uttered two words when he was flung away by the three-meter-long black tail and fell straight into the sea.

The sea had gradually calmed down by this time. Chen Xiaowu was in excruciating pain from the impact, but in order to survive, he had to struggle desperately and swim to the surface.

When he came out, the figure on the reef had long since disappeared, and only the sound of the wind and waves remained on the sea, as if everything just now was just a dream.

On the other side, Shen Yu sat quietly on the small boat, gently stroking the white jade flute in her hand.

250: [This was a gift from His Highness in a previous small world. Does it feel familiar?]

Shen Yu shook his head. Most of the things in the system space were Chi Xing's memories, but they felt very unfamiliar to him.

He wasn't discouraged; he believed he would remember it someday.

【coming. 】

Shen Yu sensed movement on the sea surface. Not far from the small boat, a black-haired merman slowly emerged from the water.

A pair of deep, clear eyes stared intently at Shen Yu, their dark green pupils seemingly capable of drawing one in.

After watching for a while, the mermaid swam forward a short distance and then stared at Shen Yu just like before.

Shen Yu: ...

He simply took out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips from his system space, waved at Akahoshi, and spoke in an unprecedentedly soft voice:

"I have some good food here, come over."

Akahoshi:?

The moonlight shone on Shen Yu's face, and Chi Xing's innocent eyes lit up. With a flick of its tail, it swam over.

His first words were: "Wife?"
