Chapter 66: Completely Stuck on His Female Master Sister
When Nan Zishi’s consciousness returned, she saw large, bluish-purple teardrops splashing from Lanxing’s eyes onto the ground.
Unable to send his beloved female master to safety, forced to watch as she died alongside him, his heart was in agony.
"Sister, it doesn’t matter if I die, but you can’t."
"I regret this. I really regret this."
"Who can save you? Who can come and save you!"
"Lanxing."
Nan Zishi’s soft call brought Lanxing back to his senses.
In the intense heat, the male mermaid’s entire body was flushed red, and his eyes were even redder from crying.
Nan Zishi cupped his cheeks with her hands and whispered, "Since we’re going to die anyway, let’s give it a try."
"Try... what?"
But before the male mermaid could finish his sentence, her gentle, beautiful face loomed closer, and a soft touch brushed against his lips.
At that single touch, it was as if Lanxing’s mind had exploded, like countless schools of fish were swimming through it.
’The Beast God said her power is Moon Attracting Starlight.’
’Her Beast Husband is the star, and she is the moon.’
’Her power can resonate with her Beast Husband’s.’
’It creates countless connections.’
’It can even be used in battle.’
’The Beast God also said to use a kiss to activate the Moonlight Starlight Level 2 Superpower.’
’What is the Second-level Superpower?’
Specks of bluish-purple light had already begun to glow around Nan Zishi and Lanxing, but Nan Zishi didn’t notice.
She thought the first kiss hadn’t worked.
So she cupped his face and kissed him a second time!
THUMP, THUMP.
It sounded like the male mermaid’s heartbeat.
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.
With a BANG, the specks of light burst open, and then more and more appeared!
The rainbow-colored light from Nan Zishi and the bluish-purple light from Lanxing intertwined around him. At the same time, Lanxing was stunned to feel his perception of the seabed grow even stronger!
Likewise, through Lanxing’s senses, Nan Zishi could feel the vast power of the ocean.
Moonlight Starlight Level 2 Superpower—Moon Attraction Resonance!
Nan Zishi’s moon and Lanxing’s star fell into perfect sync. The moment they synchronized, Lanxing’s power circled around Nan Zishi before returning to his own body.
And in that brief moment, Lanxing’s power was massively amplified by resonating with Nan Zishi!
If his power level had been a 1 before, now it might be 1.5, 1.8, or even 2 or higher!
And on Nan Zishi’s forehead, a second Beast Pattern began to appear. To be precise, it was a second small white dot.
Without even realizing it, she had advanced to Two-Pattern!
Nan Zishi released Lanxing’s lips. The mermaid was still in a daze, his eyes fixed on her.
"Lanxing!"
"How do you feel?"
The mermaid’s heart was still leaping joyfully, and he seemed to have no intention of suppressing this happy feeling.
The mermaid blinked his beautiful eyes.
"Sister, I think I..." Lanxing exerted a bit of his power, and a massive whale phantom appeared beside him!
Perception... strength... speed... superpower... everything was multiplying!
"I’ve become much stronger."
Nan Zishi breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. It’s up to you now."
"Okay!" The young male felt his energy resonating with his female master; even his heartbeat was in sync with hers.
The feeling was truly mystical.
He and she were intimately connected.
It was a sensation more intimate than mating!
He squeezed her hand tightly.
"Sister!"
"Lanxing, go for it!"
"Okay."
The volcano erupted, and ash spread rapidly.
His power now doubled, Lanxing focused all his strength and attacked the weakest part of the rocks before him.
The massive whale phantom roared past, smashing all the obstacles to smithereens.
He grabbed Nan Zishi and they escaped. The next moment, he looked over at the other mermaids, who were trapped and nearly unconscious.
In an instant, he shattered every obstruction and swept up all the nearby mermaids.
He held Nan Zishi’s hand and led his people, swimming toward safety.
...
「In a safe zone over ten kilometers from the volcano, Princess Chuchen and the others had turned back after hearing news of the incident.」
When they met up with Lanxing and Nan Zishi, whose bodies were still burning hot, Mu Yang was the first to get angry.
"Lanxing, what were you thinking? It was bad enough for you, a Prince, to go looking for danger, but you dragged Nan Zishi with you. Don’t you know how precious females are?"
This time, Lanxing didn’t argue with Mu Yang. He lowered his head and accepted everyone’s condemnation.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Little Fu swam over from a distance and threw herself into Nan Zishi’s arms. Little golden pearls fell from her eyes.
"Fufu was scared."
Lanxing didn’t have time for reunions. He asked, "Where’s Yu Chen?"
Yu Lang swam over. "We saw him not long after we got here. I had just asked him how you all were doing when he said he had something to take care of and left."
Lanxing’s expression darkened. "He left?"
Chuchen asked, "Lanxing, what happened?"
Before Lanxing and Nan Zishi could speak...
...the rescued mermaids all cried out, "Yu Chen is a traitor!"
"Not only did he refuse to save us, he trapped Prince Lanxing and the Princess!"
"Prince Lanxing and the Princess were nearly killed by him!"
After these mermaids made their accusations, the news spread like wildfire among the others.
"What? Yu Chen is a traitor? He actually tried to harm Prince Lanxing and the Princess?"
"Prince Lanxing was so good to him. Why would he do something so evil?"
"I remember when Yu Chen was on the brink of death, it was Prince Lanxing who saved him from a giant octopus’s tentacles!"
"So Yu Chen is actually a bad fish?!"
Lanxing said, "That’s not all. Yu Chen also has a superpower."
Mermaids with ordinary bloodlines have almost no chance of awakening a superpower. Those with a High-level Bloodline have a small chance.
Only mermaids with an Ancient Bloodline have a relatively high probability of awakening a superpower.
The Mermaid Royal Family is what it is precisely because they are the inheritors of the Ancient Bloodline.
As for Yu Chen, whether he had a High-level or an Ancient Bloodline, the moment he awakened a superpower, he would have held a high status among the mermaids. He wouldn’t have had to be a low-key worker.
Lanxing couldn’t understand why he would hide his superpower, or why he would try to harm him and Nan Zishi.
"I’m going to find him and demand an explanation. He committed a crime, and he must receive the punishment he deserves!"
Chuchen said, "Don’t you worry. I’ll issue a wanted notice across the four seas. If any mermaid in the northern, southern, eastern, or western seas sees Yu Chen, they will be sure to capture him."
"Alright, revenge is important, but so are you. Let me take a look and see if our Lanxing and Nan Zishi are hurt."
The examination revealed that Nan Zishi’s delicate skin had been burned by the superheated seawater.
Chuchen took Nan Zishi aside and started smearing a black, diatomaceous-earth-like mud on her skin.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch," Nan Zishi yelped.
Chuchen said, "Just bear with the pain. This is very good for your skin. It’ll be completely healed in two days."
"So I have to be all ugly and covered in this black mud for the next two days?" Nan Zishi pouted coquettishly at Chuchen.
Chuchen giggled. "You... what does it matter if you’re a little ugly? With how cute you are, you could steal anyone’s heart."
"That’s not true."
Chuchen glanced into the distance.
The male mermaid with the bluish-purple tail was hiding behind a piece of coral, his large tail swaying back and forth.
But his eyes were glued to his female master.
