Chapter 236: Saving the Mermaid Prince
Chapter 236: Saving the Mermaid Prince
After a while, Kunpeng God gently took Luo Ying's hand and said softly, "Let's go! I'll take you back to the shore! Otherwise, it will be too late. If those two men on the shore really start killing for you, it will bring disaster to the world!"
Luo Ying nodded obediently, then winked playfully, smiled mischievously, and asked him jokingly: "When we met before, didn't you say that protecting the people of the world is the job of other gods, and what does it have to do with you?"
Hearing this, Kunpeng God couldn't help but smile. He gently stroked Luo Ying's hair, his eyes full of pampering: "Because I have waited for the person I have been waiting for! And you, a weak woman, know how to protect the people of the world, let alone a god like me?"
Luo Ying pretended to be an old scholar, his fingertips lightly touching his empty chin, as if combing his beard, and then patted his chest, imitating the old man's rough and low voice, teasing Kunpeng Divine Lord with the old man's tone: "Well, Confucian scholars are teachable! Confucian scholars are teachable!"
Seeing this, Kunpeng God suddenly grabbed her hand, leaned forward slightly and quickly approached Luo Ying, almost close to her face. With a naughty smirk, he threatened in a low voice: "Believe it or not, if you seduce me again, I won't let you leave!"
Luo Ying was frightened by his action and quickly covered her mouth. Her bright eyes revealed a bit of panic and cuteness, which made people want to get close to her. Kunpeng God looked at her and felt fond of her. He gently kissed the back of her hand that covered her mouth, then sighed deeply and said softly, "It would be great if we were a real couple! I really don't want to let you go."
Luo Ying stuck out her tongue playfully and walked down from the bed lightly, but suddenly she felt dizzy and her feet were a little unstable. Kunpeng God was quick to step forward and support her, his eyes full of concern: "Your injury has just healed, and you are still relatively weak. Let me carry you back!" After that, he gently took Luo Ying's hands and wrapped them around his neck, then picked her up horizontally and held her tightly in his arms.
Luo Ying blushed and said shyly, "It's not good for others to see this!"
Kunpeng Divine Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he laughed softly and ambiguously: "You are afraid that the two men on the shore will be jealous! I am not afraid that they will embarrass me, so what are you afraid of? Haha!"
Luo Ying snuggled in his arms, a mischievous smile on her lips, and teased him, "Actually... you are a really good choice... so handsome... and so warm."
When Kunpeng heard her words, he was delighted and asked excitedly, "Then do you want to choose me?"
Luo Ying was caught off guard by his sudden question and quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Lord Kunpeng looked at her shy appearance, his eyes full of love, smiled slightly, then carried her out of Kunpeng Palace.
Luo Ying suddenly thought of the mermaid prince with a broken tail. She looked at Kunpeng and asked cautiously, "Can you do me a favor?"
Kunpeng looked at her, and said gently with a hint of doting in his voice: "You speak."
Luo Ying took a deep breath and pleaded, "I want to go see the mermaid prince. He cut off my tail and I feel bad about it. Can you help me heal him?"
Kunpeng God raised a charming and playful smile and asked jokingly, "Are you asking me to save my love rival?"
Luo Ying's cheeks turned slightly red at his words and she smiled awkwardly.
Kunpeng brought Luo Ying to the merman palace. When the merman elder saw that the person coming was Luo Ying, a look of sorrow flashed across his eyes, and he said sadly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already dying. It's good for you to come and see him for the last time!"
Luo Ying was shocked when she heard this, and her face suddenly changed. She hurried to Jiao Chengxuan's bedroom. Kunpeng followed closely behind her. Luo Ying looked at Jiao Chengxuan who was unconscious on the bed, and endless worries surged in her heart. She held Jiao Chengxuan's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll bring Kunpeng to save you!"
When Jiao Chengxuan heard Luo Ying's words, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with incredible joy. He asked in an extremely weak voice: "Is it really you? Am I dreaming?"
Luo Ying's heart ached, his eyes slightly reddened, he nodded and said, "It's me, you are not dreaming!"
Jiao Chengxuan tried to force out a smile and continued to ask: "Have you returned to the shore?"
Seeing that he was so weak, yet still worried about his safety, Luo Ying felt extremely sad. He comforted him and said, "Lord Kunpeng will take me back to shore. You don't have to worry about me. Just take good care of yourself."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Jiao Chengxuan's eyes. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I... am almost dying..."
Luo Ying was extremely heartbroken when she heard his words. She quickly put her finger on his lips and said excitedly, "You won't die. I'm bringing Kunpeng God to save you!"
Jiao Chengxuan shook his head and said, "Don't save me. Without you by my side, I will also die from missing you and crying dry."
When Luo Ying heard this, her defenses collapsed instantly, tears burst out like a flood. She sobbed and her voice trembled. She felt extremely guilty and suppressed her feelings and said to him, "I shouldn't have appeared in your life and made you suffer so much."
Jiao Chengxuan smiled and gently stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her face, but he was too weak to lift it. He said to her softly and gently: "Don't say that... Although we spent a short time together... But you are my most beautiful memory..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell into coma again. The leader of the merman tribe was grief-stricken. With trembling hands, he handed a string of pearl necklace to Luo Ying. He choked up and said in great sorrow: "These are pearls made from the tears of the crown prince when he cut off your tail. He said... I will give them to you after he dies. We mermaids will only love one person in our lifetime. He can't live without you. He asked me to tell you that he loves you more than his own life."
The moment Luo Ying heard these words, her defenses were instantly broken by a violent shock wave. She couldn't suppress her inner grief and leaned against Jiao Chengxuan's chest, hugging him tightly. Tears poured out like a river bursting its banks. Her shoulders trembled violently due to her heart-wrenching crying, and her voice was choked by excessive grief. She sobbed, her voice was almost inaudible: "Why are you so stupid... I... I am not worthy of your love for me with your life, and I am not worthy of your protection with your life..."
The elder merman sighed deeply, feeling extremely painful and depressed. He said in a deep voice, "Alas... Meeting you is a love calamity that he cannot avoid even if he wants to."
Luo Ying frowned, she turned her head and looked at Kunpeng Divine Monarch, and asked him with a hint of determination in her voice: "Can you cure his broken tail and erase all his memories of me at the same time?"
Kunpeng Divine Lord was slightly startled, then asked back: "Are you sure you want to erase his memory of you?"
Luo Ying stared at the Mermaid's Tear necklace in her hand and sighed softly. She felt extremely heartbroken and sad. Her voice revealed a hint of helplessness and determination: "If he can't let me go, he will fall into endless pain and eventually die. The only way to make him forget me, as if I had never been here, never appeared in his life, and never stepped into his world, is to let him start his life again."
Lord Kunpeng nodded. Luo Ying clenched the Mermaid's Tears in his hand, turned around and resolutely walked out of the Mermaid Palace.
After a while, Kunpeng God slowly walked out and joined Luo Ying. Luo Ying asked worriedly, "Is his leg injury healed?"
Lord Kunpeng nodded.
Luo Ying asked nervously again: "Have all the memories about me been erased?"
Kunpeng God nodded again. He stared at Luo Ying with deep emotions in his eyes. He looked at Luo Ying affectionately, sighed and said, "This is really cruel to him. You are his most beautiful memory. If I were him, I would rather die with my love for you and shed all my tears than never meet you in my life."
Luo Ying was deeply moved by his words, and tears welled up in her eyes. Kunpeng God gently embraced her, stroked her cheek, and said affectionately: "I know you can't stay in the deep sea for a long time, otherwise, I really wouldn't want to let you go. Promise me, if one day, I turn into a small fish, you will keep me in your fish tank, put me by your bed, and let me accompany you all the time, okay?"
Luo Ying was shocked by his words and asked in confusion: "Why did you turn into a small fish?"
Kunpeng Divine Lord looked firmly into Luo Ying's eyes and asked again: "Promise me."
Luo Ying was moved by his eyes, nodded involuntarily, and said softly: "Okay, I promise you."
Lord Kunpeng was excited and gently kissed Luo Ying on the forehead. Then he picked her up and continued walking forward.
Arriving in front of the Dragon Palace, Luo Ying's eyes unconsciously lingered. Kunpeng Divine Lord understood and put her down. His voice was filled with endless tenderness and he whispered to her, "Go! The Third Prince of the Dragon King also loves you sincerely. Say goodbye to him!"
Luo Ying nodded and walked into the Dragon Palace.
Ao Linghao was very excited to see Luo Ying, but he didn't dare to go forward. He wanted to rush forward and hug her tightly, but reason told him that he had to restrain himself. A thousand waves were stirred in his heart, and his emotions were surging, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of his deep concerns. Hua Yuchen's warning to him echoed in his mind, forcing him to act cautiously. He approached Luo Ying gently, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He took a cautious step forward and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you...really Marshal Luo from the Heavenly Realm?"
Luo Ying nodded affirmatively.
Ao Linghao took a deep breath, mustered up his courage again, and continued to ask cautiously with a trembling voice, "You...you...are you really his prince consort?"
Luo Ying was shocked when she heard his words. Her face turned pale instantly. She asked in a trembling voice: "Who...who said that?"
Luo Ying's extraordinary reaction undoubtedly confirmed her relationship with Hua Yuchen. Ao Linghao instantly felt a heart-wrenching pain and suffocation, and the pain in his heart surged like a tide. He said sadly: "The third prince of the heaven... Hua Yuchen said it herself!"
