My home isn't far from here. Would you like to come over for a visit?
Chapter 4
Revive the villain for the seventh time (04)
Yu Xiao looked at Yu Tang, her eyes reflecting the man's handsome face.
That familiar, warm feeling soothed the pain in my head.
He asked, "Will I cause you trouble?"
Only after hearing Yu Tang say no did he smile and agree.
With Yu Tang's magical bubbles as a means of transportation, Yu Xiao is perfectly able to swim freely in the sea.
The two hid behind a rock, watching the hundred-meter-long deep-sea monster swim past them.
You'll also see groups of glowing little fish swimming around you.
Yu Tang reached out to touch it, and the little fish circled around his fingertips, forming a spiral halo around him.
Its beautiful ice-blue tail had tightly packed, smooth scales that shimmered with a delicate purple hue under the light.
Yu Xiao sat in the bubble, staring blankly at the interaction between the man and the fish, her heart pounding faster than ever.
He said, "Yutang, you are so beautiful."
Having lost his memory, he became outspoken and as innocent as a teenager.
Only express your truest feelings.
Upon hearing the praise, Yu Tang swam over to Bubble and said with a smile, "Thank you..."
Because the bubble was just a transparent barrier, Yu Tang's close proximity caused his bare chest to touch Yu Xiao's hand, which was pressed against the bubble. Yu Xiao felt a burning sensation and withdrew her hand, only to hear the man's soft laughter.
"You are very beautiful too."
"You are the most beautiful human being I have ever seen."
Yu Xiao felt her heart turbulent under his gentle gaze. She licked her lips, about to say something, when she heard the voices of women in the distance.
"Prince Yutang, where have you been?" A blonde, blue-eyed merman swam up to Yutang, her chest covered by a seashell, her hair adorned with a seashell hair ornament, and a seashell necklace around her neck. Her face was anxious: "His Majesty is looking for you everywhere, and the tribe is in complete chaos!"
There was also a little mermaid girl, who looked no more than seven or eight years old. Tears kept rolling from her eyes as she rushed over and hugged Yu Tang's waist, choking back sobs as she said, "Brother, you scared me to death! I thought you had been captured by humans! Thank goodness you're alright..."
At this moment, the merfolk who were searching for Yu Tang also gathered around. When they saw Yu Xiao sitting inside the bubble, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately pointed their weapons at Yu Xiao.
"That's a human?!"
"Look at that uniform, he's a soldier?!"
"We're doomed! If the soldiers discover our tribe's location, we're in grave danger!"
He must be killed immediately!
Seeing this, Yu Tang quickly stopped the clansmen and said, "Everyone, he's not a bad person! He's just a pitiful person who has lost his memory!"
"No human is a pitiful being! So many of our people have been cruelly hunted and killed by humans. If we see humans, we should kill them immediately! Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free! We must ensure that they never have the chance to harm us!"
Seeing that they were too excited, Yu Tang suggested that the king should make the judgment.
Yu Xiao was placed under house arrest in her room pending the outcome of the investigation.
The merfolk reluctantly agreed.
The king and queen heard that Yutang had been found.
They rushed over in a great hurry.
The Queen hugged Yu Tang and said, "You child, you're going to scare me to death one day!"
"Why can't you just stay home? Why do you have to go out every day? Don't you know how dangerous it is outside?"
The king, his beard bristling and eyes wide, slammed his fist on the table: "I heard you brought back a human? Do you know how shameless and dangerous humans can be?!"
"You're being incredibly irresponsible! You're so spoiled you've become completely out of control!"
Knowing that the King and Queen truly doted on him, Yu Tang softened his voice, apologized, and appeased the couple.
After they calmed down, he said, "Father, Mother, humans are also divided into good and evil. I feel that this human is different from other humans."
"Moreover, I think he is a general in the Oro Empire. If we can befriend him and get him to negotiate with Her Majesty the Queen for our Merfolk's rights, then perhaps we won't have to live a life of hiding anymore."
“Child, you are too naive,” the king said. “The nobles of the Oro Empire are all ruthless and cannibalistic. In their eyes, we merfolk are nothing but playthings and commodities. They will never let us go!”
"That human who has reached the rank of general must be even more cunning and treacherous. Perhaps we trust him one moment, and he will betray us the next, destroying the entire merman race!"
"Stop speaking up for him. He has to die tonight. Execute it immediately!"
As soon as the king finished speaking, the entire palace suddenly shook violently.
A merman came from outside to report: "Your Majesty, a giant sea serpent is attacking the palace!"
"We simply cannot withstand it!"
"A giant sea serpent?!" The king was also shocked.
Countless monsters roam the deep sea.
The merfolk not only have to avoid humans, but also these monsters, making their survival conditions extremely harsh.
"Let the women and children retreat first!" the king said to the queen. "You take Tang'er and Sasha and go first. I will fight the giant python!"
Before he could even step out of the room, another merman came to report, "Your Majesty, the giant python has been killed!"
The three of them looked completely bewildered.
The king then realized what had happened and hurriedly asked, "Who killed him? Which brave warrior did it? I will certainly reward him handsomely!"
The merman's face turned horrified as he said, "It was...it was the humans Prince Yutang brought back who did it..."
When Yu Tang rushed out, he saw Yu Xiao, amidst the horrified gazes of all the merfolk, twist off the giant python's head and toss it up and down.
She waved to him, revealing her most innocent and carefree smile: "Yutang, I saw it hurting your people. So I took action and dealt with it. You won't blame me, will you?"
"Pfft..." Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The surrounding merfolk all took several steps back, swallowing hard.
They have figured it out.
If this human wants to wipe them out, then none of them will survive.
Yu Tang walked up to Yu Xiao and put the oxygen bubble back on her.
This kid was fighting while enduring the pressure of the ocean, coughing up blood, as if he didn't feel any pain.
"I'm so grateful to you, how could I blame you?" He tapped Yu Xiao's forehead against the bubble: "But next time, don't be so stubborn, and take care of yourself."
Then, he pulled Yu Xiao to the king and said to the king, whose face was now stiff, "Father, now, can you understand what I'm saying?"
The king glanced at the giant sea serpent, hundreds of meters long, lying outside the palace, and its head soaking in blood. He then looked at Yu Xiao, whose smile was innocent and pure. He twitched his lips, returned a kind smile, and extended his hand to Yu Xiao.
"Haha, it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. General Yu, have you eaten? If not, I will have someone prepare something right away."
King: I'm not a coward, I'm just following my heart!
Thank you everyone for urging me to update and for the little gifts! Have a great Sunday!
Chapter 5
Revive the villain for the seventh time (05)
The king's attitude changed completely, and after a moment of silence, the surrounding merfolk became enthusiastic towards Yu Xiao.
Ultimately, faced with overwhelming power, they had no choice but to submit.
Moreover, Yu Xiao just saved a female merman right in front of them.
If the other party is inherently evil, then there is absolutely no need to waste energy saving them.
Perhaps Prince Yutang is right; there are still some good people among humanity.
Merfolk eat raw food. At the banquet, the giant sea serpent is cut up by the chef and distributed to the entire tribe.
To the merfolk, this was a delicious meal.
Yu Tang's younger sister, the little mermaid Sasha, with her mouth full of blood, licked her sharp teeth and asked Yu Tang, "Brother, why aren't you eating? Don't you like sea snake meat the most?"
Yu Tang couldn't bring himself to eat the bloody flesh, so he had no choice but to answer.
"I'll eat in a bit."
His words were overheard by Yu Xiao, who was standing next to him.
The man picked up a piece of snake meat, and with a thought, flames appeared in his palm, cooking the snake meat. He then handed it to Yu Tang: "Yu Tang, we humans all eat cooked food. Would you like to try some cooked snake meat?"
Yu Tang was taken aback.
He hadn't expected Yu Xiao to be so observant, knowing that he couldn't eat raw food, so she used her abilities to cook it for him.
Sure enough, even without the memory, this kid was still as considerate to me as before.
"Thank you..." He smiled and took it, ate a few bites, and nodded, saying it was delicious.
Yu Xiao then revealed a satisfied smile.
After the banquet, Yu Tang spoke with the king again, bringing Yu Xiao with him. He expressed his desire to accompany Yu Xiao back to land.
Using Yu Xiao's identity, they negotiated with Her Majesty the Queen to secure human rights for the merfolk.
"Do you really have to go?" the Queen asked, still worried.
But she didn't dare confront Yu Xiao directly, so she only gently held the king's hand and asked her husband to persuade Yu Tang.
The king looked at Yu Xiao, who was sitting in a bubble and playing cat's cradle with a rope he had somehow found. He swallowed hard and said, "General Yu, my son Tang'er has never been to land before. The human world is too dangerous for him. Why don't you go back by yourself? We'll take you to the sea and then bring you back."
Yu Xiao stopped playing cat's cradle, looked up at Yu Tang, and then at the King and Queen, whose faces were full of tension.
He shook his head.
He is not actually ignorant of reason.
The merfolk here were intimidated by his power.
