69: I agreed to end the partnership.

Mu Yang and Chu Chen came to visit Lan Xing's palace.

While shucking a sea urchin, Chu Chen said, "In the ocean, volcanic eruptions actually happen quite frequently."

“Do they happen often?” Nan Zhisui asked.

“Of course!” Chu Chen took a taste of some wasabi; she generously shed a few pearls and performed an elegant spiral ascent.

Then her eyes lit up, “Wow, this stuff is too intense! I want more!”

The Merman Prince Mu Yang's gaze fell on Nan Zhisui with a hint of admiration. Lan Xing blocked it imperceptibly, while giving his elder brother a warning look.

“Xiao Xing, don't be so stingy. If we could serve the same female master together, we could continue being brothers.”

Mu Yang said, “Besides, if we serve the same female master, you'll have a brother to help you in future beast husband disputes.”

“Furthermore, look at your elder brother. I'm over six hundred years old and finally found someone I like. You're my best brother; shouldn't you help me out?”

Lan Xing crossed his arms, guarding strictly, and laid down the law: “Brother, I don't think our relationship is that good. It's better if we don't associate with each other in the future.”

Mu Yang's eyes widened in shock.

Just for a female master, Little Lan Xing doesn't even want his brother anymore?

Chu Chen was completely speechless at her two foolish brothers. She just focused on eating wasabi.

Lan Xing said to Nan Zhisui, “Sister, after a volcanic eruption, that area of the sea is hard to survive in because of the volcanic ash. It takes a long time to gradually recover.”

Hearing the title 'Sister', Chu Chen interjected teasingly, “Lan Xing, who are you calling sister? Am I your sister or is she your sister?”

Lan Xing gave Chu Chen a cold sideways glance and said, “Chu Chen, are we that close?”

Chu Chen: “That's enough! Are your wings fully grown? How dare you speak to me like that!” He actually called her by her name; he was truly rebelling.

After some bickering, Chu Chen asked Lan Xing and Nan Zhisui, “What are your plans for the future? Will you live in this palace? You two are so young; you can have many Mermaid Cubs in the future.”

Nan Zhisui shucked a small piece of seafood, ate it, and said, “Tomorrow marks the seventh day. I promised Lan Xing that I would sever the partner relationship with him tomorrow.”

Lan Xing: “...”

The Little Merman's heart suddenly constricted, and his face immediately turned pale. He turned to look at Nan Zhisui, his expression panicked.

Chu Chen really wanted to laugh at her brother.

Who was the one who spoke so decisively before, insisting on severing the partner relationship and all that?

It's only been a few days, and he's already getting slapped in the face.

Chu Chen, an eight-hundred-year-old merman, understood exactly what Nan Zhisui and Lan Xing were thinking at a glance. She asked Nan Zhisui exaggeratedly, “Do you really have to sever it?”

Nan Zhisui nodded: “When I first came to the seabed, I promised Lan Xing. If he was a good beast husband to me for seven days, I would use your merman technique to sever the partner relationship. That way, it wouldn't harm him.”

“Lan Xing has done very well these past few days. He's been very responsible and met all my requirements. Whatever fish I wanted to eat, he caught. I have no reason not to keep my promise.”

“Sister!” Lan Xing was completely anxious now. His heart was twisted with worry as he frantically grabbed her hand.

“Do you really want to sever the partner relationship with me?”

Chu Chen whispered to Nan Zhisui, “Look at him, he's worried sick.”

Nan Zhisui turned her head and gave Chu Chen a gentle smile.

Chu Chen said, “My brother here did such an impulsive thing without thinking it through, actually asking you to sever the partner relationship. It's good to teach him a lesson. Sui Sui, you should scare him a bit more.”

“You really are his biological sister.”

“Of course.”

Nan Zhisui whispered, “Sister, don't worry. As long as he doesn't want to sever it himself, I won't want to sever the partner relationship. I'm just teasing Lan Xing.”

Chu Chen laughed: “He's your beast husband, tease him as much as you like. You can tease him for a few more days.”

Seeing that Nan Zhisui was ignoring him, Lan Xing grew even more panicked.

He also knew that he had held many prejudices before and said many overboard things. He must have made the Female Master Sister angry.

Lan Xing stayed obediently by Nan Zhisui's side, clutching one of her hands tightly.

It was as if he was truly afraid she wouldn't want him anymore.

When Chu Chen and Mu Yang were about to leave, Lan Xing 'saw' them off very quickly.

Then he rushed back anxiously.

The Little Merman's brow furrowed, looking very distressed.

What should he do? This current predicament was entirely of his own making.

Why did he have to speak so absolutely?

Saying things like he would definitely never like her.

And that he definitely wanted to sever the partner relationship.

And she had heard all of it.

What should he do?

Lan Xing saw the golden Little Fu playing with small fish outside and hurriedly grabbed her.

“Little Fu, Little Fu. My good cub.”

The Mermaid Cub looked at her Father Beast blankly, “What's wrong, Daddy?”

“Your Mommy is angry with Daddy.” Lan Xing's expression was difficult to describe. “Little Fu, if Mommy doesn't want Daddy anymore, you won't have a Mommy either. You'll definitely help Daddy, right?”

Little Fu's eyes widened.

No, no! Fufu can be without a Daddy, but Fufu cannot be without a Mommy!

Little Fu nodded, her gaze also becoming distressed, looking like she was about to cry.

This little expression was exactly the same as Lan Xing's.

“Help Daddy out. Let's coax your Mommy together and get her to forgive us both. Don't let her kick us out of the house, okay?”

Little Fu nodded vigorously. “Mm-hmm!”

Fufu wants to be with Daddy and Mommy forever!

...The golden Little Merman baby was dressed in many beautiful pearls and was carrying a beautiful set of shell and pearl clothes and jewelry as she wabbled over to Nan Zhisui.

“Ma... Mommy! Pretty clothes,” the merman baby babbled.

“For me?” Nan Zhisui picked up the beautiful merman clothes the little one had brought over.

Having stayed under the sea for so many days, she had developed some understanding of the quality of shells and pearls.

The clothes and jewelry Little Fu brought over were made from the very best Materials in the ocean.

And this Shark-silk looked like it was made from fabric hand-woven by a merman.

“Wear them.” Little Fu looked up, watching Nan Zhisui expectantly.

The Diatomaceous Earth on Nan Zhisui's face had long since been removed, and her skin had returned to its previous delicate and smooth state.

Now, holding these glittering little clothes, her love for beauty was piqued, and her heart felt a bit restless.

“Did Fufu give these to Mommy?”

Little Fu looked toward the door.

Lan Xing was leaning against the wall outside the doorway, feeling anxious and nervous.

Little Fu turned back and nodded vigorously at Nan Zhisui.

“Fufu is so good.” Nan Zhisui smiled gently and rubbed Little Fu's head.

The little girl was really too cute, so thoughtful and adorable. She liked her so much.

She took the beautiful little clothes behind the large shell bed to change, then swam out.

When Nan Zhisui reappeared, she was wearing a brand new, beautiful set of pearl and shell clothes, looking dazzlingly beautiful.

“Pretty!” Little Fu swam in front of Nan Zhisui, held her face, and gave her a big kiss. “Mommy is pretty!”
