58: Are you leaving again?

After Lan Xing took Nan Zhisui away, he left behind gurgling seawater bubbles and a group of merfolk looking at each other in dismay.

"That was actually our Princess Consort... She is, she is His Highness's female master fish?!"

"Oh my god, was I rude just now?"

"You weren't, but you courted her."

"How can courting be considered rude? At most, it's the pursuit of beauty. Her Highness the Princess Consort is just too good-looking!"

"Yeah, His Highness's female master fish is so beautiful!"

Everyone discussed in low voices for a while before they noticed the Little Merman cub left outside the palace.

The merfolk greeted her warmly.

"Little Princess Highness. You're back!"

"Where did you go? You have no idea, His Highness has been going crazy looking for you these past few days."

"Yeah, a five-year-old mermaid baby is really too small; you can't just run around everywhere. Back when Prince Lan Xing was five, he was still drinking milk."

The golden mermaid Little Fu waved her chubby arms, "Daddy... Mommy... fighting..."

All the merfolk: "...?"

"Little Princess Highness, what did you say? Why don't we understand?"

The Prince and the Princess Consort are fighting?

How could that be possible?

If it were true... in case Prince Lan Xing was abandoned by such a beautiful Princess Consort, how sad Prince Lan Xing would be... "You stay in this room." Lan Xing's tone was cold.

Nan Zhisui took things as they came and swam around the room.

In the room, dozens of night-luminescent pearls were embedded in coral skeletons, their cold light piercing through the Shark-silk.

In the center was a giant clam shell; the clam shell bed was breathing out pearl fluid, the translucent pearly luster winding through the seawater like a swimming galaxy.

After Nan Zhisui swam a circle, she suddenly swam in front of Lan Xing and asked curiously, "Lan Xing, where is the toilet?"

"Toilet?" Lan Xing didn't understand. "What is a toilet?"

Nan Zhisui explained, "A toilet is a place for excretion."

Lan Xing's expression became complicated, and then a hint of a blush appeared on his face.

"Nan Zhisui, are you really a mermaid? You even have to ask where to excrete?"

Nan Zhisui suddenly swam closer; as she approached, Lan Xing was startled, leaning back slightly, looking a bit nervous.

"I thought when we formed our bond, you knew I was a Land... Beastman."

Lan Xing's cheeks flushed slightly, and he looked at her beautiful large tail with some confusion.

"Ahem. I'll explain this to you later." Nan Zhisui straightened her body and said.

Right now he was still making a fuss about divorce. She didn't want to tell him everything.

Lan Xing temporarily set aside his doubts and asked, following her words, "Do you Land Creatures even care about where you excrete? Fish just excrete wherever they want."

Nan Zhisui: "...? Excrete wherever you want?"

"Yes." Lan Xing nodded.

Nan Zhisui was shocked. Her imaginative mind immediately began to wander... So they excrete in the water and then drink it??!

"If you must be particular..." Lan Xing said hesitantly, leading Nan Zhisui into a room, "You excrete here, and it will flow outside."

Nan Zhisui: "...Oh. I see."

Lan Xing still explained. "Your waste, many small creatures on the seabed will like to eat it. When they grow up, we eat them."

Nan Zhisui: "..." She shouldn't have started this topic; looking into this question too deeply was very uncomfortable.

"Lan Xing, I'm hungry. I want to eat something."

Nan Zhisui looked at him expectantly.

Lan Xing's lips pursed slightly. His gaze was complicated.

What, as her beast husband, could he possibly not give her food?

...Lan Xing went out to hunt.

Nan Zhisui swam to the giant clam bed and curiously lay down inside; it was unexpectedly very soft!

Nan Zhisui rolled around repeatedly on the giant clam bed, and after getting comfortable, she spread her arms and lay there looking at the palace ceiling.

Lacking a bit of common sense, she suddenly thought about the issue with her Supernatural Ability.

Her Supernatural Ability, Moon Attraction Starlight, is only effective when her beast husband is within 50 meters. If he swims further and further away, wouldn't she turn into human form?

Oh my god, she actually let Lan Xing go hunting?

That's not right either; she had to eat anyway, so there was nothing wrong with letting Lan Xing hunt.

But she should have followed him, followed him every step of the way, otherwise she'd be dead if she turned into a human!

Turning back into human form on the seabed—never mind breathing, she couldn't even withstand the underwater pressure.

Just as she thought of this, Nan Zhisui indeed felt a sense of sluggishness; her heart grew tense, and she hurriedly swam out.

"Lan Xing, Lan Xing!"

But in the vast sea, she didn't see Lan Xing's figure.

It's over! It's all over!

Calm! Nan Zhisui, calm down!

She remembered the beast god saying that the Moon Attraction Starlight Supernatural Ability could last for fifteen minutes even after the Male left.

Fifteen minutes should be enough for her to swim to the surface!

Nan Zhisui hurriedly swam toward the surface, swimming faster and faster. She began to feel her breathing gradually become difficult, her gills seemed about to disappear, and her fish tail also started to become unstable.

She really was going to turn into a human!

Quick!! Faster!!

Under the blue sky, Nan Zhisui finally broke through the surface of the sea, her large tail tracing a beautiful arc on the water.

Nan Zhisui breathed heavily.

"Ha! Almost died."

"The seabed is different from the land; losing the fish form is too dangerous. I can't be so careless next time. Wherever Lan Xing is, I must be there."

"Follow him closely, follow him every step of the way!"

Just then, a blue-purple light streaked from the seabed like lightning to the front of her.

The gold line on the edge of Lan Xing's tail fin instantly sliced through the water surface, kicking up waves.

Nan Zhisui was attracted by his graceful mermaid curves and looked over. She saw him swim in front of her in an instant, his pale hands clutching a large blue fish about 2 meters long.

At this moment, the young merman's face was extremely pale. He said angrily, "Nan Zhisui, you're leaving again?"

She really did hate him.

She sent him to hunt not to make him fulfill his responsibilities as a merman husband at all, but because she wanted to send him away!

She didn't want him; she wanted to leave!!

Thinking of this, Lan Xing's heart tightened slightly, as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand.

As expected, she left at the slightest opportunity... Since she wanted to leave, why was she unwilling to break the mate contract?

Why set a seven-day agreement?

Why lie to him?

Did she have to humiliate him like this?

"No, no, what are you thinking again? Don't misunderstand!

I didn't want to leave!

You know, I'm actually a Land Beastman. I was almost unable to breathe! I only came out for some air because I was about to die!"

At the very moment her tail was about to disappear, Nan Zhisui swam to his side.

The Moon Attraction Starlight Supernatural Ability stabilized, and her giant iridescent tail held steady.

Lan Xing gave her a frustrated look and turned to swim back toward the seabed, untrusting.

This time, Nan Zhisui didn't dare to be separated from him again; she hurriedly followed him back into the palace on the seabed.

Lan Xing threw the fish into Nan Zhisui's room and then looked at her.

"Eat."

Nan Zhisui was a bit speechless: "...What do you mean? You don't expect me to just eat it like this, do you?"

The 2-meter-long blue fish shivered in the mermaid palace and didn't dare to move.

"You're not eating?" Lan Xing frowned.

This deep-blue spotted fish was already the most tender and best-tasting fish on the seabed.

If she wouldn't even eat this kind of fish, what else would she eat?

Nan Zhisui: "..." It turned out he thought she could eat such a big fish raw.

Terrifying, she never ate live fish!

Nan Zhisui said, "Lan Xing, slice it. I want to eat fish slices."

"Fish slices?"

"Yes, cut its meat into thin slices, one by one. Clean it well; there can't be any blood."

Lan Xing felt she was a bit troublesome, but he still looked at the blue fish.

The blue fish was startled!"
