68: Nan Zhisui's Happy Life Under the Sea

Lan Xing, sitting to the side, slowly leaned forward. He meticulously tucked her stray hair behind her ear, lowered his head, and asked, "Is Sister bullying the merfolk in my palace? Does Sister like little pearls that much?"

"...?! "

She just had a tiny little bit of ulterior motive.

Telling stories to make the merfolk cry, feeding them wasabi to make them choke and cry, just to collect a few little pearls. Was it necessary to call her out!

"Did you see me bullying them?" Nan Zhisui refused to admit it, saying, "Don't you think they actually like eating wasabi?"

Lan Xing observed her for a short moment, and then his eyes crinkled with a smile.

Nan Zhisui picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, dipped it in wasabi, and pushed it in front of Lan Xing: "Lan Xing, do you want to try it?"

Just as Lan Xing was about to lean in, Nan Zhisui immediately pulled the chopsticks back, teasing him, "You need to prepare yourself mentally first."

"I am prepared."

Nan Zhisui extended the chopsticks again, and Lan Xing opened his mouth and took a bite.

With that bite, he also experienced the head-rushing sensation that the other merfolk had felt.

It went straight to his head!

He restrained himself and, with a strange expression on his face, ate the wasabi-covered sashimi.

"How does it feel? Isn't it a huge rush?"

Lan Xing gave her a strange look, then began to slowly savor the taste.

The intense, pungent spiciness was quite a rush. For the usually mild-mannered merfolk, this was definitely a strong stimulus.

They might be scared by this strong stimulus the first time, but perhaps...

Sure enough, Lan Xing saw more than half of the merfolk returning with fish to dip into Nan Zhisui's wasabi dollop.

For the merfolk, it was a very novel taste bud experience.

After trying it, the merfolk who fell in love with this experience would like it very much.

A Little Merman asked with a blushing face: "Your Highness, do you... have any more of this wasabi?"

Nan Zhisui said with a grin: "I do, but not much."

"Can you share a little bit with me? I can... I can trade salt with you for it."

"Go away, salt is the least valuable thing in the sea!"

"I have beautiful pearls."

"I have beautiful seashells!"

"I have coral too! Super big coral!"

Nan Zhisui said: "Don't rush, don't rush. I have a little bit left, but not much. I can give it to you all."

Lan Xing looked at Nan Zhisui plaintively. "If you give it all away, what will we eat?"

She hadn't expected that he would be willing to give his life to save his subjects.

But he was so stingy about sharing wasabi with them!

Nan Zhisui lowered her head and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm only giving them a little bit. I've saved much more for us, enough to eat for a long time."

Only then did Lan Xing beam with joy.

Nan Zhisui asked: "Do you all know how to make salt? Can you teach me?"

"I do!"

"Your Highness, I do too."

"We all do!"

Nan Zhisui chatted with the merfolk.

It was only because Nan Zhisui had just mentioned that caviar from certain types of fish was extremely expensive in her village, selling for astronomical prices, and only the wealthy could afford to enjoy it. She had never had the good fortune to eat it before.

That was why Lan Xing had specifically kept an eye out for sturgeon.

Using his little tricks, it wasn't difficult at all to make these fish swim over obediently.

Lan Xing caught a sturgeon and scooped out the caviar from inside.

Lan Xing interrupted, saying: "Sister, eat some caviar."

"Wow!!"

Nan Zhisui's eyes sparkled.

This was the freshest caviar caught for her by a Merman Prince. Wouldn't one bite be worth thousands or tens of thousands?!

She took a bite, and the caviar popped in her mouth; the taste was very unique.

"Delicious! I'm so moved; I feel like I've become a wealthy person too."

Having gained a Merman Beast Husband, she had achieved seafood freedom from now on!

Lan Xing then leaned close to Nan Zhisui's ear and whispered: "Sister, why ask them? I know how to make salt too."

Nan Zhisui looked at Lan Xing in surprise.

It seemed that ever since the Moonlight Echoing Return, Lan Xing's attitude toward her had changed significantly.

Not only was he a bit clingy, but he also seemed prone to jealousy.

"Okay, then you teach me."

Lan Xing's eyes sparkled. "Mm."

Nan Zhisui played with the merfolk for a long time, and soon her eyelids began to fight each other; she was getting sleepy.

Lan Xing shooed away the group of merfolk crowding around and took Nan Zhisui's hand.

"Sister, let's go back to the palace."

Lan Xing's crystal palace was very different from the previous palace.

The previous palace had been bare, with just a bed and a few lamps.

But this palace was different.

It was filled with beautiful coral reefs, large pearls of various colors, and beautiful seashells scattered everywhere.

In the center of the palace was a huge, soft seashell bed.

Lan Xing led Nan Zhisui to the seashell bed.

She happened to be sleepy and was preparing to go to sleep, but she saw Lan Xing standing beside her, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?"

The Male raised his eyes slightly, his blue-purple eyes as dazzling as the night sky. He whispered softly: "There is only one bed in my palace. Sister."

Perhaps it was those two kisses last time that had made him fall deeply into it, unable to extricate himself.

Now, to get a little closer.

The beautiful Merman Prince racked his brains, coaxing and luring, fighting and scrambling.

Nan Zhisui looked up at him suspiciously.

Lan Xing's eyes remained clear: "I... I can sleep outside. I'll be fine..."

Why does he seem a bit... cunning?

But Lan Xing's face seemed to suddenly flush red.

Although he had started fighting for it, his inner age was still not high, and he couldn't help but feel shy and blush.

Nan Zhisui looked at his slightly red face and suddenly felt that perhaps he wasn't being cunning, but was truly just too innocent?

Is he really that innocent?

"Lan Xing, do you want to sleep with me?"

Lan Xing's face turned completely red.

He couldn't help but recall how not long ago she had suddenly turned back and returned to his side.

She had kissed his lips. Her power had guided his power, and their powers had merged together, a feeling where his heartbeat and hers were almost synchronized.

Intimate, trusting.

An indescribable feeling.

An extreme sense of happiness.

Now, in his eyes, Nan Zhisui was clearly a responsible, brave, gentle, kind, and magnanimous Female.

She was the Female he liked.

Lan Xing suddenly recalled what Nan Zhisui had said when she explained things to his brothers and sisters.

【Brother Mu Yang, Second Brother Luo Chuan, Sister Chu Chen... For the past five years, due to some reasons, I truly did not take good care of the father and daughter. Now, please give me a chance, my brothers and sisters.】

She said she had some reasons.

Yes, she had her reasons. When she did those things, there must have been some reasons that were inconvenient to speak of.

The current her was the real her.

"Mm." The young Male Merman's face was flushed red, "I want... to sleep with Sister."

"Can I?"

Nan Zhisui blinked her beautiful big eyes in surprise.

Nan Zhisui, Lan Xing, and Little Fu slept in the same clam shell.

Little Fu lay in the corner of the clam shell; she kept her eyes open when she slept.

Nan Zhisui lay on her side in the clam shell and whispered "pfft, pfft" in Lan Xing's direction.

Lan Xing slowly opened his eyes and asked: "Can't Sister sleep?"

Nan Zhisui had originally wanted to ask about severing the mate relationship, but seeing the little beast husband's precarious state, she simply decided not to ask.

"It's nothing, go to sleep."

...

Nan Zhisui had another dream.

This time, she returned to that space filled with resentment.

Although she couldn't remember the dream during the day, in the dream, she could link the previous dreams together.

She remembered the first time she came here, the 7 totems exuding an aura of resentment and a vast dark space.

She also remembered that later, when she came here, the black fox totem had shed its aura of resentment and turned into a beautiful snow-white totem.

Subsequently, the black merman totem suddenly appeared and dragged her into the water!

And now, among the seven totems in seven directions, besides the snow-white fox totem in one direction that had suddenly appeared by her side, illuminating the light beneath her feet.

There was also the black merman totem in another direction, whose resentful black color was gradually fading.

A beautiful blue-purple color was appearing.

It appeared beside Nan Zhisui with a delicate little green leaf, appearing coyly, hesitatingly and cautiously testing the waters as it approached her.

And this delicate little green leaf swayed gently, attached and happy.

However, just at this moment, a black snake-shaped totem with an extremely strong sense of oppression suddenly appeared!

There was also a little green leaf on the totem, but the little green leaf seemed to be teetering and about to fall off. Having lost its nutrients, it looked like a little cripple, exceptionally pitiful.

The black snake-shaped totem, with earth-shattering momentum, forcibly snatched Nan Zhisui away!

Nan Zhisui struggled desperately!

"What are you doing? Let me go! You bastard! Let me go!"

A Cave appeared before the snake-shaped totem; he threw her into the Cave, and then moved a huge stone to seal the Cave shut!

Nan Zhisui fell into darkness.
