Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Yes."

A deliberately lowered voice rang out, and without hearing any footsteps, a cool hand covered Shen Yu's fair and delicate shoulder, gently kneading it.

The smell of seawater grew stronger, and Shen Yu, feeling comfortable, unconsciously let out a muffled groan.

The hand on her shoulder paused slightly, and Shen Yu heard the person behind her breathe more heavily.

He continued, "So, you're new here?"

"Hmm, does Your Highness like it?"

Shen Yu nodded slightly: "It's alright, it would be even better if you could come down and help me wash."

The merman standing behind him had such a pursed mouth that it looked like it could hold an oil lamp; he was so angry he was about to cry.

The hand that was resting on Shen Yu's shoulder didn't move, but a smaller hand suddenly grabbed Chi Xing's wrist.

In a flash, Akahoshi fell into the water.

He surfaced from the water, his chin lifted by Shen Yu's fingers. Shen Yu's face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of mockery.

"How dare they follow us here secretly."

Akahoshi stared at him with a pitiful look, then resumed her normal voice:

"How would I know you were a high and mighty prince if I hadn't come along? Which concubine did you mistake me for just now?"

Listen to that, the sourness is almost overflowing.

Shen Yu leaned forward and plunged into the water. Chi Xing quickly caught him, feeling sad but unwilling to push him away.

However, he caught a whiff of unpleasant alcohol, a smell that Akahoshi had never encountered before.

Just as Shen Yu boarded the ship, Chi Xing heard someone call him "Your Highness".

Merfolk generally live in groups, but their strength is roughly equal, so there is no concept of a king. Only older merfolk are called wise men, who will pass on knowledge to the younger merfolk.

Akahoshi had once heard the term "Prince" from a wise man; it referred to a very noble person among humans.

Humans have royal families; the sons of emperors are princes or kings.

Within the city of Nanzhou, there are two human princes.

Akahoshi only now realized that his wife was one of them.

"Your Highness holds a high position and wields great power. With such a large harem, there must be many concubines living there. No wonder you were unwilling to bring me back with you."

As Akahoshi spoke, her tone grew increasingly dejected, unaware of the extent of her own imagination. A mermaid pearl fell into the water.

However, the smell of alcohol was even stronger, and Shen Yu's lips were already pressed against his, silencing his incessantly jealous mouth.

The petals between their lips were repeatedly rubbed together, and when they parted, Shen Yu's lips appeared even more pink and delicate, paired with her slightly red cheeks, as if she were inviting Chi Xing to taste them.

Ignoring her jealousy, Chi Xing clung tightly to Shen Yu, her body completely submerged in the water.

……

Driven by the alcohol, Shen Yu fell asleep in the bath, and the merman skillfully picked him up.

As punishment, he kissed him hard on his slightly swollen lips again, until he groaned and turned his face away, only then was Akahoshi satisfied.

*

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Shen Yu opened her eyes to meet a pair of beautiful, dark green eyes.

Those eyes lit up the moment they saw him wake up.

Shen Yu habitually pinched his face lightly, but Chi Xing was unhappy. He hadn't settled his score yet, so how could he forgive him so easily?

He put on a stern face and said sarcastically, "Which courtyard has Your Highness arranged for me to stay in? I stayed in Your Highness's bedchamber last night. Will Your Highness be angry if she finds out?"

Shen Yu: ...

"Where did you learn that sarcastic tone?" His voice was a little hoarse, a smile playing on his lips. He lazily turned over, looking at Akahoshi with eyes full of doting affection.

Akahoshi's fleeting gaze drifted to the unclosed storybook on the side. Since humans and merfolk could communicate with each other, he naturally recognized the characters.

This story is about a fox spirit who transforms into a human and marries a human man. As a result, the man already has thirteen concubines, a queen, and even more than a dozen children.

Thinking of this, Akahoshi's eyes widened, and her voice involuntarily rose a little: "You, you don't have a child, do you?"

Just then, the sounds of children laughing and playing, along with the anxious voices of maids, came from outside the door:

"Oh dear, young master and young lady, be good. The prince is still sleeping. Don't disturb him."

Akahoshi:! ! !

He felt his head buzzing, and he clenched his teeth tightly, as if he was about to faint from anger at any moment.

Shen Yu was almost finished laughing, and fearing that he would really be so angry that he would die, she quickly took his hand and pulled him to her side.

He pressed his entire upper body against Akahoshi and planted a kiss on his Adam's apple.

“That’s my brother’s child,” Shen Yu said seriously. “I have never been married, nor have I ever taken a concubine. I don’t even have a maidservant in my household.”

Akahoshi's heart pounded as she received a kiss on the Adam's apple, her mind completely absorbed in Shen Yu's answer.

"Really? Then Your Highness..."

Shen Yu placed her finger on his lips, staring intently into his eyes. His cheeks were flushed from sleep, and the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned. He said:

"If you want to be a princess, then you are my princess."

Shen Yu never felt that this identity was anything special. In his eyes, Chi Xing could even be an emperor.

If Chixing wanted to, he could oust the emperor and put his own Xingxing on the throne.

"This, this isn't quite right, is it? I'm just a merman."

This sounds like he's making an excuse, and it would have seemed even more so if the corners of his mouth hadn't turned up.

Shen Yu said, going along with what he wanted to hear, "I don't care about these things, I will only marry you in the end."

The Merfolk do not have the concept of marriage; they only form a family relationship between two people.

Children are expected to leave their parents and live independently after they grow up. Akahoshi was kicked out when he was very young, and he has forgotten what his parents look like.

As for human marriage ceremonies, they are not important to him; as long as he is with his wife, that's enough.

He nodded: "Okay, then you are not allowed to marry anyone else or take a concubine."

As for the child, Akahoshi deliberately didn't mention it.

They are both male and will not have children in the future. Chixing has already made plans to have Xiaowu take care of them in their old age.

250 means yes, no problem.

He didn't mention it, and Shen Yu didn't say anything either; he only needed to raise one Xingxing.

The two rolled around together again after exchanging only a few words.

Because there were other people outside, they only kissed and hugged, and did nothing else.

Shen Yu had some back pain, but it didn't affect anything. After all, he was a man who had gone through a month of "special training".

After getting dressed, Shen Yu told Chi Xing to stay in the room while he went out.

Shen Yu had several large robes delivered to Chi Xing, and returned to the room to dress him.

Chi Xing had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a nose that was higher than that of the people of Mu Chu, and fairer, more beautiful skin. His deep eyes alone were enough to tell that he was not from Mu Chu.

To maintain the mystery surrounding the identity of the Crimson Star Sea God, Shen Yu did not plan to take him out. If anyone saw him, he would simply say that he was the Sea God.

Shen Yu personally tucked her long, wavy hair behind her ears, leaving some bangs on both sides, and braided a few small braids on each side of her ears before securing them behind her back.

Shen Yu rummaged through her spatial storage and took out a pure gold forehead ornament inlaid with emeralds, which she then put on his head.
