In the Mermaid Hall, all the mermaids have transformed into human forms and are waiting in the hall. The elders of the clan, who are nearly a thousand years old, are standing there in white robes, holding scepters and praying.
The bride is wearing a silver wedding dress, waiting there with eyes full of joy and tenderness...
Nanyang wore a grand formal dress and walked slowly out from the inner hall.
He has been looking forward to the day he takes the throne.
The succession ceremony of the mermaid monarch is always held at the same time as the wedding. At the same time, he obtains power and an eternal partner. This is what every mermaid dreams of, and he used to do the same.
He felt that he should be happy...but at this moment, he found that he did not feel happy at all.
He couldn't even hear the music at the banquet outside and felt a little dazed.
He had even forgotten to transform into a human and put on his formal clothes... instead he was sitting by the pool in a daze.
His tail fin had grown long ago, but he inexplicably remembered the scene when the woman carried him on her back and ran for her life, roughly cutting off his tail fin without saying a word... He thought at that time, he must eat that human!
But later, they got along for so long...
"Your Highness, the ceremony is about to begin."
Nanyang responded lightly, turned around and walked out.
Passing by the long corridor connecting to the ocean and seeing the surging water outside the barrier, Nanyang suddenly remembered the situation when he and Sheng Nuan formed a contract.
She didn't know how to negotiate terms with him, but even sharks rushed in front of her and refused to give in... That was the first time he saw a human being who was not afraid of death.
Thinking of Sheng Nuan's cowardly and arrogant look, Nanyang unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, but then he remembered...she was going to die.
Nanyang has made a contract with her and can feel it.
Human beings are very fragile...
Nanyang told himself that they had nothing to do with each other, today was his most important day, and he shouldn't think about those things anymore... But why was his heart hurting more and more.
He was never afraid of pain, but the pain made him want to cry.
The mermaid is a cold-blooded creature that never sheds tears. What happened to him?
Nanyang took a deep breath and kept telling himself: Everyone has his own destiny, he is a mermaid, she is a human, they are not even the same species...
Stop thinking about those messy things!
Walking out of the corridor, all the guests outside looked towards him. He heard his fellow tribesmen talking about him, saying that he successfully eliminated the difficult pterosaurs... and solved the crisis of the jellyfish demon species' escape, saying that he was brave and capable.
wisdom……
Nanyang suddenly remembered that he could kill the pterosaur so smoothly only because of the backstab that the woman taught him.
The pterosaur was very difficult to deal with, but extremely proud... He just walked around his back and killed the pterosaur easily.
If other people of the same race knew about it, they might look down on him...but that woman took it for granted.
She said at that time that as long as the enemy could be killed, it didn't matter what method he used, whether it was fair or not...it was better to live insignificantly than to be killed proudly.
She is always so confident!
Nanyang kept telling himself not to think about it anymore, but more and more pictures appeared in front of him uncontrollably.
He saw Sheng Nuan riding a shark and smiling smugly at him... saw her panicking and jumping on him in the sea, saw her profile when she was sitting on the reef looking up at the night sky, which was more beautiful than the mermaids, saw her
She turned around and said to him with a smile: "Nanyang, let's sing a song..."
She was always smiling, even though she knew she was going to die, she still smiled and said to him that it was a pleasure to meet him...
Opposite him, the future queen, dressed in a grand dress, looked at him with expectation and admiration... but Nanyang suddenly stopped.
At this moment, he suddenly realized why he was unhappy.
Because he knew that after walking through that bustling corridor, the person waiting for him was not the person he wanted!
He thought he had achieved what he wanted and was about to have everything he wanted, but at this moment, pressing his empty and still throbbing heart... he finally understood.
The reason why he feels pain is because he is not about to have everything, but about to lose everything forever!
He knows all the truth... He knows that they are different species, he knows that the mermaid tribe is not allowed to marry humans, and he knows what consequences he will face if he chooses a human...
He made his behavior strictly abide by all the rules, but in the final analysis... he was still clearly aware of what he wanted.
Nanyang stopped, but the music continued.
The queen's expression changed slightly, and she barely maintained a smile to remind him: "Nanyang, what's wrong? Are you too happy?"
The surrounding mermaids burst into good-natured laughter...
Nanyang slowly raised his eyes, and seeing his expression, the queen's heart suddenly sank, and she almost said a warning: "Nanyang..."
But before she finished speaking, she saw Nanyang raised his hand and pulled off the dress on his body.
The queen lost her voice: "Nanyang, what are you going to do?"
Nanyang's eyes suddenly turned red and he said: "She is going to die..."
The queen, with a dark expression, took a few steps forward and grabbed him: "Then you can't go even more. You know what the consequences of falling in love with a human will be. You..."
But before she could finish speaking, Nanyang broke away from her hand.
"I know...but I also know that if I don't do this, I will never feel happy again in my long life."
Before he finished speaking, Nanyang disappeared with the water flowing in the eyes of all the mermaids in the palace in astonishment...
In the ward, the sound of instruments was accompanied by soft sobs.
Sheng Nanxing held Sheng Nuan's hand, his eyes were red and he was so choked that he could hardly speak.
His voice was hoarse to the extreme: "...if possible, dad is willing to trade his life for you."
Sheng Nuan felt very uncomfortable and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."
She didn't do it well.
Hearing her say sorry, Sheng Nanxing's heart almost broke.
Ye Qian, who has always been strong, seemed to have aged several years in just a few days. Her eyes were red, and she held Sheng Nuan's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Nuan Nuan, don't be afraid... Mom and Dad will be with you, yes."
We failed to protect you, Nuannuan is sorry, parents are sorry for you..."
Sheng Nuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
She herself was not lucky enough to have such parents, but now she had to watch them break her heart.
She couldn't even imagine how painful it must be for them when they learned in the original plot that their daughter was buried in the sea and their body could not be found.
Sheng Nuan said softly: "I'm not afraid, really, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that you will be sad..."
In one sentence, Sheng Nanxing and his wife burst into tears.
But at this moment, the customer service suddenly said: "Host, Nanyang is here."
Sheng Nuan was suddenly startled... She subconsciously thought that Nanyang wanted to see her off for the last time, but the next moment, a stream of water mist broke through the window.
Sheng Nanxing and Ye Qian fainted instantly, and Sheng Nuan's own vision went dark...
She fainted physically, but her consciousness was awake. She asked the customer service in confusion: "What is he doing?"
The customer service member paused for a moment and said in a complicated tone: "He is saving you."
Sheng Nuan was even more confused: "Didn't you say that we can't be saved?"
The customer service replied: "He took out his shark beads..."
In front of the hospital bed, Nan Yang looked pale and held a half-cut shark bead in his hand.
He kept half for himself and fed the other half to Sheng Nuan.
Almost instantly, the instrument, which had already lost its data, began to recover... At this time, two majestic old voices sounded outside the window.
He is an elder of the mermaid tribe.
"Qingfeng, Langchen...were ordered to take Crown Prince Nanyang back to the Mermaid Palace to question him!"
The next moment, a stream of water swept Nanyang and disappeared into the ward...
