70: I can't bear to part with you.

Nan Zhisui, having changed into a beautiful Shark-silk garment, left the long-waiting Lan Xing in a daze.

His Female Master Sister shimmered under the ocean waves, her jet-black hair fluttering in the water.

Her upper body wore an exquisite bodice he had personally woven for her from pearls and shells. Every pearl shimmered with a soft glow.

She gracefully swayed her beautiful seven-colored tail in the water. That seven-colored radiance was like a flowing rainbow, illuminating the surrounding seawater.

His beautiful, star-like eyes reflected the beautiful and wonderful Nan Zhisui.

He knew she was beautiful.

But at this moment, her beauty reached his very Soul.

Lan Xing watched for a good while before coming back to his senses, the edges of his ears quickly turning crimson.

So beautiful. Truly so beautiful.

"Sis... Sister," Lan Xing stammered.

Little Fu's tiny left hand took Nan Zhisui's hand, leading her to swim in front of Lan Xing, while her tiny right hand took Lan Xing's hand.

"Mommy, Daddy, Fufu, play."

The golden Little Merman led a Seven-colored Mermaid and a blue-purple-white merman as they swam out.

"Don't be in a hurry." Lan Xing clapped his hands and carefully revealed what he had prepared to the mother and daughter.

Before long, a luxurious and beautiful seahorse carriage pulled by several seahorses appeared before them.

The seahorse carriage was decorated with magnificent conches and pearls, its body shimmering with beautiful scales. Its wheels were made of gorgeous red coral, emitting a soft light as they turned.

"Wow, it's so beautiful," Nan Zhisui marveled from the bottom of her heart.

The Merfolk Clan truly had an extraordinary grasp of aesthetics; the beauty in their eyes was many times more exquisite than that seen by Land Creatures.

Lan Xing turned and took Nan Zhisui's hand. "Sister, please get in."

After Nan Zhisui boarded the seahorse carriage, Little Fu and Lan Xing followed.

There were many delicious seafood snacks on the seahorse carriage, which Nan Zhisui could reach for and eat at any time.

Lan Xing drove the carriage, and the seahorses whizzed forward, pulling it along.

Nan Zhisui took some wasabi and began snacking on the seafood in the carriage.

Sitting in the Merfolk Clan's magnificent carriage, eating the freshest seafood from the seabed, and watching the magnificent, dazzling, and vast scenery of the ocean floor.

What a heavenly life this is!

Little Fu swam to Nan Zhisui's side, and Nan Zhisui reflexively pulled Little Fu into her arms to eat seafood snacks together.

They peeled sea urchins and shellfish just like Land Creatures eat melon seeds and peanuts—it was both a pastime and delicious.

After Lan Xing ensured the seahorses were swimming steadily, he returned to Nan Zhisui's side and sat with her.

"Sister, do you like the ocean?"

Nan Zhisui sighed with genuine feeling, "I like it, I like it very much!"

Lan Xing helped her peel a snack and asked, "Sister, would you be willing to stay in the ocean?"

Nan Zhisui's heart skipped a beat. "Lan Xing, I am a Land Creature, a Human. I cannot stay in the ocean for long."

After their tour, Lan Xing seemed even more dejected upon returning to the Undersea Palace.

After all, one was an undersea merman and the other was a land Human; Nan Zhisui certainly couldn't stay with him on the seabed forever, so she couldn't console him in his disappointment.

When it was time for bed, Lan Xing couldn't sleep; he lay facing Nan Zhisui.

"Aren't you in the ocean right now? Why can't you stay?"

"Lan Xing, didn't you want to sever our partner relationship?"

Lan Xing's voice was muffled. "I admit I was wrong. I spoke out of anger. I don't want to sever our partner relationship."

"Sister, I'm very well-behaved. Please don't abandon me."

Aoww, younger brother is so good, he really is so well-behaved!

Nan Zhisui rested her face on her hand and said to him, "Lan Xing, I am Human. I am not a mermaid."

"Are Humans a Beastman species on land?"

"No, I'm not a Beastman. I'm Human," Nan Zhisui decided to explain.

"I can only temporarily turn into a mermaid because of my Supernatural Ability. But my ability has many restrictions. For example, if you are more than fifty meters away from me, I will turn back into a Human who cannot breathe underwater, and I will die."

"It was because I couldn't be too far from you that I lied about the Cell phone. This little thing didn't suck away your Soul."

The ocean was ultimately dangerous for her; although she liked it very much, she couldn't stay in it forever.

Lan Xing suddenly remembered a time when he was hunting for Nan Zhisui and had gone a bit far from her; she had left the palace and returned to the surface.

He had mistakenly thought she was trying to escape at the time and even blamed her.

Was it actually because he was too far from her that she would die?

Lan Xing was suddenly struck with lingering fear. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

Heavens, it was actually that dangerous!

He had almost caused her death.

As long as she was under the sea, he absolutely could not be more than fifty meters away from her.

"I understand now. Sister, you can do whatever you want, just don't abandon me or sever our partner relationship, okay?"

Nan Zhisui patted his back. "Mm, I won't abandon you."

"You scared me to death today..." The Male's voice was low and aggrieved. "I really thought you didn't want me anymore."

This younger brother was really good at acting spoiled; it hit her right in the heart, making it soften.

"Our Lan Xing is so beautiful, so cute, and so good at acting spoiled. How could I bear to abandon you?"

Lan Xing broke into a smile through his tears. "Will Sister go back to the land later?"

"I plan to go back tomorrow," Nan Zhisui said. "I've been under the sea for nearly seven days now, and I'm worried about the Little Cubs on land."

White Fox will take good care of Hu Qi and She Yang.

But it was hard to say for that Little Wolf Cub that Nan Zhisui had worked so hard to save.

To White Fox and the others, that Little Wolf Cub was just food. Never mind taking care of it; it would be a blessing if they didn't eat it.

"I'll go with you. Take me with you," Lan Xing said gloomily.

Nan Zhisui asked, "Can you walk on land?"

Lan Xing nodded. "I can. I've practiced."

Nan Zhisui thought for a moment and asked, "But what about Little Fu? When I brought her from Stone Village to the seaside, her scales changed color along the way. She can't adapt well to fresh water."

"I can leave her with my older brothers and sisters!"

Nan Zhisui: "Lan Xing, if you leave her with others, she'll become a left-behind child."

"Left-behind child? What's that?"

"It's a cub whose parents aren't around and is left for others to raise. If that happens, she'll be very pitiful."

Lan Xing looked up at her, his blue-purple merman eyes filled with sorrow.

"Are we really going to be separated? I've only just fallen for you, and there are still so many places in this ocean I haven't taken you to see, and so many merfolk I haven't introduced you to. Are we really going to be separated?"

"Lan Xing..."

"I can't bear to leave you. I really can't."

The next day.

When Nan Zhisui woke up, she found the entire bed scattered with blue-purple pearls.
