This data in Quick Transmigration has become sentient!

Although I had a lot of random thoughts, not much time has actually passed.

Yi Yi glanced at Xi Youhai, who was still in a daze, and quickly composed herself.

"It was my oversight, but I have important matters to attend to right now. When I return, I will dismiss the harem and leave only Xi Ze."

Clearly, he hasn't fully adjusted yet; even his self-reference is incoherent.

However, Xi Youhai didn't notice, and barely realized the meaning behind Yi Yi's words. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, His Majesty values ​​Xiao Ze because of Xiao Ze's abilities. There's no need to go to such lengths."

Yi Yi gently shook her head and said with a smile, "My mind is made up. I will decide this matter myself."

Having said that, Xi Youhai hesitated for a moment, unable to say anything more, and simply cupped his hands and said, "I will obey Your Majesty's decree."

He bowed and then took his leave.

The moment she turned away, for some reason, Yi Yi said, "If anyone in this world is to become my partner, that person will only be Xi Ze."

Yi Yi couldn't see Xi Youhai's expression, but she heard him remain silent for a while, followed by a soft gasp, before he replied, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Then she transformed into a mermaid and left into the sea.

Yi Yi stared blankly in the direction he left until a salty sea breeze brushed against her face.

She blinked her dry eyes, and a tear welled up in them.

Under the moonlight, something was gleaming where Xi Youhai had just been standing.

Yi Yi stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up a jet-black mermaid pearl.

What do black shark pearls represent?

Is it bitterness? Or sadness?

Or perhaps it's all so complex that it stems from profound emotions...

Yi Yi thought for a moment, then tossed the mermaid pearl into the sea, her eyes stinging with tears as she thought:

It's all the sea breeze's fault; it made everyone's eyes water.

She turned around and walked into the cave.

Seeing that Li Yunxiao was oblivious to his footsteps, he went over and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Yunxiao shuddered in fright, then turned around and looked at her with a hint of resentment, saying, "In the future, could you consider the size of the venue if I need to avoid certain occasions?"

Yi Yi said "sorry" with a laugh.

Voices came from the cave entrance; it was someone calling out "Your Excellency" or "Young Hero" in a low voice.

Yi Yi and Li Yunxiao exchanged a puzzled look before heading towards the cave entrance.

Then they saw the male merman who had swum the fastest earlier clinging to the cave entrance again.

Upon seeing the two of them emerge, he waved his arm happily and took out a seashell, saying, "This is for Your Excellency."

Yi Yi took it and opened it to find a bag full of mermaid pearls, some white, some pink, and some yellow.

"This is……?"

"Oh, these are the mermaid pearls that just flowed out of our river. We've collected them to present to Your Majesty!"

Yi Yi chuckled, quickly closed the shell, and returned it to him.

"I cannot accept this, otherwise my Demon Queen and your young master will be unhappy," she said.

“Alright…” The male merman was somewhat disappointed, but the rejection of the merman pearl was to be expected. He quickly cheered up and asked, “Then when can we see Your Majesty again?”

Yi Yi squatted down to be at eye level with the merman and said with a smile, "Wait until you've cultivated to the Transformation stage and can come to the Demon Palace to find me yourself. But remember to inform them."

Upon hearing this, the mermaid's eyes sparkled, and several bright yellow mermaid pearls fell from her eyes. She said that she would work hard to cultivate and reach the transformation stage as soon as possible.

Yi Yi found it amusing.

You merfolk are all prone to crying uncontrollably, aren't you?

Picking up the mermaid pearl, the male mermaid chuckled sheepishly, then took out a seashell and tried to stuff it into Li Yunxiao's hand.

After what had just happened, Li Yunxiao naturally knew what was inside the seashell. He waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he couldn't accept such a valuable gift.

Yi Yi reached out and took the seashell, opened it, looked inside, and picked out a few pink mermaid pearls, returning them to the mermaid.

Then she shoved the seashell into Li Yunxiao's arms and said, "Take it. This represents a promise from the merfolk. Why won't you accept their offer to be friends with you?"

Yi Yi's strength was no match for that of the mermaid. Li Yunxiao took the shell with a blank expression, after picking out a few mermaid pearls, the shell was still full.

"Yo ho!"

On the calm sea, a cheer erupted from behind a large reef, from both men and women.

Although there seemed to be a few scattered, somewhat mournful female voices mixed in.

Yi Yi couldn't help but laugh. When she looked at the male merman's face again, it was as red as a monkey's bottom.

He muttered, "They said I swim so fast, so they made me their representative."

"Hmm, you're very capable." Yi Yi praised, then pointed to the pink mermaid pearl she had picked out and said to Li Yunxiao, "You can't accept this pink one. If you accept it, it means you agree to become partners with her."

Upon hearing this, Xi Ze felt the seashell in his hand burning hot again, and wanted to push it away, but Yi Yi stopped him first: "What, you also have a mermaid partner who gets jealous easily, so you can't accept mermaid pearls from other mermaids who want to be friends with you?"

Li Yunxiao paused in his refusal, glanced again at the beautifully patterned seashell in his hand, and finally put it away.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the large reef and said loudly, "I am Li Yunxiao. I am grateful for your kindness in getting to know you all today. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

As Yi Yi watched the waves ripple on the sea again, she couldn't help but sigh: "He truly deserves to be called the male lead. He doesn't receive this kind of treatment from any of the other 35 women he's pursuing."

Looking at the sea, there were several merfolk approaching.

The merfolk arrived at the cave entrance, picked up one of the selected pink mermaid pearls, and held it up, asking, "Young Master Li, are you really not going to accept it?"

Shui Yingying stared directly at Li Yunxiao, as if she would burst into tears if he didn't agree.

Yi Yi watched Li Yunxiao's predicament with amusement, and just as he was frantically trying to escape, she finally spoke up to rescue him—

"Alright, stop making things difficult for Young Hero Li. Of course he can't make a decision if you keep forcing him like this. Don't worry, we'll meet again someday. Young Hero Li will come to the Demon Realm again. Then you can see who can defeat him in one fell swoop."

Li Yunxiao swore that he was grateful when the Demon King spoke up to save him.

But what comes next...

But seeing that the merfolk had indeed left with their pearls, he breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to pursue the matter further.

Among the female mermaids swimming by, one of them, halfway through her swim, boldly turned back, waved, and called out, "Remember to come often, Young Hero Li!"

Li Yunxiao felt both embarrassed and warm inside.

How could such pure kindness not touch one's heart?

Yi Yi glanced at Li Yunxiao, but seeing his somewhat silly smile, she looked away.

She looked at the male merman who was turning back to look at his companions and instructed him, "You should go back too, and remember to cultivate diligently!"

He turned to look at Yi Yi, clenched his fist, and said, "I will, Your Excellency!"
