Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Cen, the pretty boy, was already saddened by Huai's departure, so why did someone else have to show off their love on the side?

Also, that person's eyes and ears clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.

Cen Yun recalled the legends about mermaids that her mother had told her. Could this be a mermaid?

Does that mean His Highness Prince Jin is with a mermaid?

He couldn't help but take a second look out of curiosity, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Yun'er, you must be tired from the long journey by boat. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Madam Lin, dressed simply, came out and greeted Shen Yu when she saw that he was still there.

Shen Yu told her to dispense with the formalities, as this was the side gate of the Lin residence, facing the azure sea.

Cen Yun said, "Mother, you should go back and rest first. I'll catch up with His Highness Prince Jin."

Madam Lin didn't understand young people like them. She was tired from sitting on the boat for so long, so she nodded and went back.

"Cen Yun, after all these years, why are you still so thin and frail?"

Shen Yu found information about Cen Yun in her memories. Years ago, Cen Yun's father was poisoned, and the late emperor brought Cen Yun back to the palace to protect her.

During that time, Chu Yufeng took care of Cen Yun, who was a few years younger than him, to prevent him from being bullied by the other princes.

Later, Cen Yun's mother left with his brother, leaving only Cen Yun behind. Prime Minister Lin took Cen Yun home and raised him.

In the early years, before Chu Yufeng came to Nanzhou City, the two occasionally exchanged letters.

Chi Xing stared intently at Shen Yu, his dark green pupils gleaming with an eerie light, as if to say: You actually care about others?

Then Cen Yun said:

"Aren't you the same? Besides, you've found a merman as your husband, and your royal brother even agreed to it?"

She thought to herself, "No wonder Chu Yufeng hasn't married or taken any concubines all these years. It turns out he doesn't like people."

The world is truly vast and full of wonders.

He moved closer and saw that Akahoshi's ears on the wheelchair were webbed, like small, translucent fans.

I was amazed to find that the mermaids my mother had described were actually real.

The mother he was referring to was naturally Madam Lin; as for his birth mother, Cen Yun harbored no resentment towards her.

He knew that his birth mother had taken his older brother away to preserve his father's bloodline. His brother had no talent and was just an ordinary child. Once he got involved in the power struggle, he would only face death.

Even as a child, Cen Yun would still feel sad. Fortunately, Madam Lin treated him like her own child, so he willingly called Madam Lin "Mother".

Chi Xing looked at him warily, and tugged at Shen Yu's arm, saying:

"Honey, he's so fierce, he's definitely not a good person."

This pretty boy actually knows his wife, so Akahoshi immediately added him to his list of rivals.

Seeing Chi Xing's changed expression, Shen Yu tugged at his sleeve and said helplessly, "Xingxing, he has someone he likes, he won't compete with you for her."

"Really? Okay then."

Chi Xing withdrew the hostility she had directed at Cen Yun and obediently stopped talking.

Cen Yun felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. This Chu Yufeng was still as nonchalant as ever. She asked, "How did you figure that out?"

He and Lin Huai grew up together, and they only recently told their families about their relationship. If they hadn't told them, their families definitely wouldn't have known.

So how did Chu Yufeng figure it out at a glance?

Shen Yu's gaze fell on the jade pendant at his waist: "The jade pendants you are wearing are a pair."

Cen Yun suddenly realized, and he didn't deny it. He sat down and talked to Shen Yu.

The two chatted casually, and Shen Yu finally understood why he had been forced to fake his death.

“Perhaps the Lin family will be fine,” Shen Yu said. “Lin Huai didn’t tell you, did he? He’ll soon have a way to deal with Chu Xudong.”

Listening to Shen Yu's description, Cen Yun was filled with anticipation.

Before the warships set sail, Shen Yu and Chi Xing's wedding ceremony arrived.

Since neither set of parents was present, Chu Yanzhou helped with the arrangements.

Soon, the people of Nanzhou City learned that His Highness Prince Jin had married a merman, who was none other than the Sea God.

The people still vividly remember Chu Yanzhou's early order not to harm the merfolk.

Chi Xing did not return to the sea, but waited at the Lin residence for Shen Yu to come and pick him up.

Madam Lin and her entourage dressed him up early on. His fishtail was covered by a red wedding robe, and his hair was tied into small braids and tied up high with a hair crown.

His golden crown, adorned with emeralds, made his fair complexion appear even more delicate, like a god, inspiring awe and reverence.

The servants were terrified of his green eyes and dared not meet his gaze. Chi Xing was even more pleased and shook his head in front of the bronze mirror.

The jade beads on either side of her ears made a crisp sound as they clattered together. She wore pearl ornaments on her wrists and waist, and Chixing twirled the beaded string on her wrist.

This was a gift from his wife. All he could think of was the image of Shen Yu staying up all night stringing beads for him. Chi Xing's heart softened completely.

Outside the door, the atmosphere was lively and bustling. The sound of gongs and drums was deafening, followed by the sound of suona horns. In the festive atmosphere, Shen Yu threw out wedding candies and cakes.

Surrounded by onlookers, Shen Yu gave a brief answer to the question posed by Cen Yun, who was blocking the door.

Cen Yun was a shy person and a good friend of Shen Yu, so she quickly opened the door to let Shen Yu in.

Shen Yu went straight to Chi Xing's room, and upon opening the door, she saw the merman she had been longing for.

They couldn't see each other for three days before the wedding. At first, Shen Yu didn't think much of it, but on the very first night, he couldn't resist the urge to climb over the courtyard wall.

Once inside, they saw Akahoshi standing at the base of the wall, trying to figure out how to get out.

Shen Yu called him an idiot, but her body language betrayed her by hugging him tightly.

Just like at this moment, Shen Yu's eyes were fixed on Chi Xing, not having time to observe whether he was dressed up or not. Shen Yu only wanted to hug Chi Xing. As long as it was Chi Xing, no matter what he looked like, Shen Yu would love him.

"Honey, I miss you so much."

Chi Xing held Shen Yu in his arms, instantly forgetting his earlier dissatisfaction with the tedious ceremony. He was finally able to be with his wife all the time.

"Yeah, I missed you too."

Shen Yu straightened his clothes and picked up Chi Xing in her arms, saying, "I'll carry you out."

Chixing's fish tail immediately curled up in the wedding robe, making him look no different from a normal person.

He wrapped his arms around Shen Yu's neck, not caring who was hugging whom, only worried that he might be too heavy.

Shen Yu chuckled: "Xingxing, are you questioning my abilities?"

He was, after all, a man, and among humans, he would be a man eight feet tall.

It's just that the Red Star in this world is so tall and strong that Shen Yu looks a bit small.

Akahoshi chuckled and said, "No doubt about it, my wife is the best."

Shen Yu smiled and tried to correct him: "Actually, you should call him husband."

"No, you are my wife," Akahoshi insisted.

Shen Yu sighed softly, her smile unchanged: "Fine, whatever you say goes."

It's just a form of address; Shen Yu won't dwell on it.

Mermaids have no legs. Shen Yu placed Chi Xing on the sedan chair, kissed his cheek amidst the lively blessings of the people, and then sat down next to Chi Xing.

The two, dressed in red robes, sat in a sedan chair and received congratulations from the entire city.
