64: What are you doing back here?

Lan Xing's eyes reddened slightly.

He swam to Nan Zhisui's side, attempting to tug on her clothes.

The only person in this world who could understand him was, surprisingly, her.

He didn't even know why he wanted to do this.

But he just suddenly wanted to, suddenly wanted to get close to this Female who was the only one capable of understanding him...

Back then, when she bought him from the Fisherman, although she made him her beast husband, she didn't let him become a Beast Slave.

In the end, she had protected his dignity.

Although she had indeed abandoned him and left, she had also indeed given birth to a Mermaid Cub for him.

Little Fu was truly so cute, he really liked her so much.

He had once longed for a future with her.

He had once yearned for a female master who would cherish and love him.

Now, right before his eyes was a Female who would cherish and love him, who could understand him and comprehend him.

He felt as if his heart was wavering.

In his heart, he suddenly wanted to forgive her.

"female master... Sister..."

However, just at this moment, suddenly, the underwater palace shook violently.

"What happened?" Nan Zhisui asked.

"Oh no, the submarine volcano is about to erupt!" Lan Xing hurriedly grabbed Nan Zhisui's hand, and then scooped Little Fu into his arms.

"There's a volcano here??"

"Yes."

Not only that, it was right next to the palace, but this volcano had been dormant for many years. He didn't know why it would suddenly erupt at this time.

Lan Xing took Nan Zhisui and swam out quickly, but massive rocks fell, blocking the main gate.

Nan Zhisui soon felt the water temperature rising rapidly. Immediately after, she began to have difficulty breathing and started coughing.

Lan Xing, taking Nan Zhisui and Little Fu, immediately turned around to exit from the other side, but that entrance had also been blocked.

He turned around again!

Nan Zhisui recalled the geography knowledge she had learned in the past: "After a volcanic eruption, the temperature of the ejected magma is generally between 900-1200°C, reaching as high as 1400°C, just like molten steel fresh from the furnace. The nearby seawater will boil, and the magma carries toxic sulfides, which will also cause the water quality to deteriorate."

Once the water quality deteriorates, the first things affected are the surrounding marine life, and the nearby ecological environment will also be completely destroyed.

Afterward, a massive amount of volcanic ash will block out the sun, preventing plants in the nearby area from receiving sunlight, causing them to gradually wither and die.

In reality, the extent of the damage caused by an underwater volcano is closely related to the intensity of the eruption. If the eruption is not large, the surrounding seawater is enough to contain it.

But if the intensity is huge, the volcanic ash can even reach as high as several Mount Everests, causing massive destruction!

Nan Zhisui felt that the seawater was heating up far too quickly; the power of this submarine volcano was definitely not small!

The doors were blocked, so they would just find another place to exit!

"Lan Xing, is there any way for us to break through the wall?!"

Six beast markings appeared on Lan Xing's forehead, and he roared: "I'll do it!"

Lan Xing sprayed a jet of water at the stone wall; the water jet successfully broke through the wall, and he swam outward with Nan Zhisui and Little Fu.

After swimming a bit further away, Lan Xing stopped and handed Little Fu into Nan Zhisui's hands.

"Female... Female Master Sister, you take Little Fu and leave first." Lan Xing was still not used to this form of address for the moment.

Lan Xing's youthful, crisp voice brought Nan Zhisui back to her senses. She turned her eyes and saw his pair of beautiful, radiant eyes, like a sea of stars.

"Lan Xing, where are you going?"

The volcano's location was simply too close, and the water temperature here was getting higher and higher, but he still looked toward the merfolk trapped on the seabed.

"They are my kin; I must go save them."

Lan Xing's crystal-clear eyes were filled with determination.

Looking at Lan Xing, Nan Zhisui seemed to see her past self, studying hard in school to become a Veterinarian and working hard to rescue animals at the veterinary clinic.

"Okay, go ahead, Lan Xing, but you must be careful."

A blue-violet light flashed by, and Lan Xing swam at an extremely fast speed to the center of the water.

Nan Zhisui neither moved far away nor approached; she held Little Fu and watched Lan Xing from afar.

At this moment, this blue-violet Merman Prince was mobilizing all of his strength.

Around him, one water column after another formed. These water columns reached toward the trapped merfolk, moving the stones aside and sending the trapped merfolk out through the water columns!

Under the sea, his Supernatural Ability was magnificent and grand!

Yu Chen was the first to be rescued, and he swam quickly to Lan Xing's side.

"Your Highness Lan Xing!"

"Yu Chen, go protect Princess Consort and Princess Xiao Fu." Lan Xing roared.

Yu Chen looked up at Nan Zhisui and Little Fu, who were still not far away, and then looked back at Lan Xing.

A trace of imperceptible jealousy flashed in the Male Merman's eyes.

Near the palace, after Yu Lang and the other Male Mermen were freed, they endured the scalding seawater to help rescue their kin.

One by one, the merfolk were rescued, but many still remained trapped by the rubble caused by the volcanic tremors.

Lan Xing swam back and forth, searching for the trapped kin.

"Little Fu, your Fish Father is very handsome." Nan Zhisui watched the scenes before her without blinking, and couldn't help but praise, "Although he isn't very old, he gives people a very reliable feeling."

"Daddy..." Little Fu swam back and forth, extremely worried.

Several Male Mermen who had been freed swam to Nan Zhisui's side, "Princess Consort, Princess, it is very dangerous here; please leave with us!"

"I cannot leave." Nan Zhisui shook her head.

If she were too far from Lan Xing, she would transform into a human form, and once in human form, she would be unable to stay in the ocean.

Therefore, she needed to return to Lan Xing's side. "You take Little Fu and go. I leave Little Fu in your care!"

"No, Fu Fu doesn't want to..." Little Fu tugged on Nan Zhisui's arm, saying in a panic, "Mother, Mo..."

"Be good, Little Fu." Nan Zhisui stroked Little Fu's head.

"Mother, no, no!"

Nan Zhisui lowered her head, her gaze very gentle. "Little Fu, Daddy and Mother will come back safely."

She gently rubbed Little Fu's head and smiled at her little Female cub. "Be good, Little Fu, be obedient, okay?"

The golden Little Merman felt her mother's gentle palm and was slightly stunned; her large eyes were filled with attachment and longing for her Female Mother.

"Okay, Fu Fu will be good..."

The other merfolk said anxiously: "Princess Consort, you should come with us too."

"I cannot leave."

After Nan Zhisui finished speaking, she handed Little Fu to the other merfolk and swam quickly toward Lan Xing.

Seeing this, the Male Mermen were moved from the bottom of their hearts.

"Our Merman Prince and Princess Consort have such a good relationship. It's so touching. Sob, sob."

"It's already so dangerous, yet the Princess Consort still wants to stay with the Merman Prince! She didn't even run away by herself. So envious, so moving. Sob, sob, sob. If only I had a female master who was this good to me, sob, sob, sob."

"Exactly, the Princess Consort is so good; how could the Merman Prince bear to argue with her?"

"Merman Prince Lan Xing will understand eventually. Let's hurry and leave. We still have to protect Princess Xiao Fu."

"But, I am very worried about the Princess Consort..."

Yu Chen swam over and said, "You take Princess Xiao Fu and leave; the Princess Consort is protected by His Highness."

"Okay."

After speaking, the merfolk left with the golden Little Merman.

"How is it now?" Nan Zhisui asked.

Lan Xing said with uncontrollable anger: "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you come back?! ... It's too dangerous here!"
