Chapter 132 Mermaid Princess
Chapter 132 Mermaid Princess
"Sister, why don't you try putting this pearl necklace around that female merman's neck?"
Hearing Yun Qingrou's words, Yun Qingyi came back to her senses, looked at the necklace in her hand, climbed onto the bed, used her spiritual power to control the two mermaids to stop their movements, and then carefully put the necklace on the magnetic mermaid.
After putting on the necklace, the female merman's eyes seemed to regain their clarity and gradually regain their luster. She glanced at the necklace around her neck, her blue eyes revealing disgust.
"You actually brought me such filthy things!"
"This is infuriating!"
Her expression was one of annoyance, and she was about to say something when a dark red longsword was placed directly against her throat, instantly silencing her.
Yun Qingrou's eyes were cold. "Tell us how to get out."
"Go out?" The female merman asked, slightly puzzled. "Can't we just open the door and go out?"
She stood up, went to the door, and opened it just like Yun Qingyi had done before, only to find that the door didn't budge at all.
She stood there, stunned, as if in disbelief.
Why can't this door be opened?
"It was perfectly fine before I came to this new house yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Yun Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly. "Was yesterday the day you and that merman in your bed became partners?"
"Shut up! Who told you he's my partner? He's just too cunning. He actually used his merits to get my father to make me his partner. It's utterly disgusting!"
“Uh…” Yun Qingyi opened her mouth and asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation: “So, you are a mermaid princess? Is the princess’s bridal chamber so simple? There is no separate palace.”
The female merman was speechless after being bombarded with questions.
After a long while, she finally spoke up angrily, "Isn't this all because of him! He gave all the merits to my father, the emperor, and became a penniless man who could only barely afford to buy this residence from other merfolk?"
“But…” Yun Qingyi still felt something was wrong, “But you are a princess.”
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't keep talking about this." The female merman rolled her eyes impatiently.
“I know what you’re trying to say, but what does it matter if you’re a princess? You’re still poor. My father, that madman, even traded the palace’s treasures with sea witches in order to maintain the peace of the ocean.”
"Maintain the stability of the ocean?" Yun Qingyi asked, puzzled. "Isn't the underwater world of the West Sea wonderful?"
"Pah! What a load of rubbish!" Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, the mermaid princess couldn't help but spit out a curse.
Yun Qingyi: "..." This mermaid princess is quite popular.
“If it were really that good, Brother Liangjiao wouldn’t have left his home.” At this point, the mermaid princess’s eyes showed a hint of sadness, and then she added, “It must be that the energy at the bottom of the West Sea has gradually dissipated, which is why Brother Liangjiao left the Mermaid Sea Palace.”
Wait! What did she just say?
Yun Qingyi paused for a moment when she heard that name.
Ji Zhaoze and Yun Qingrou also noticed the name mentioned in the mermaid princess's words, and the three of them exchanged glances.
Yun Qingyi asked, "Who is this Liang Jiao you're talking about?"
Upon hearing the question, the mermaid princess looked at her with suspicion: "Liang Jiao, Liang Jiao, don't you know? He's the most handsome male mermaid in our clan!"
"You've never heard of him? You're a disgrace to the merfolk!"
Yun Qingyi was about to say that she wasn't a mermaid.
She paused for a moment, glanced at her still-intact legs, and cautiously asked the mermaid princess in front of her, "In your eyes, am I a mermaid?"
Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess looked at her strangely: "Do you think I'm stupid? With a tail this long, what else could you be but a mermaid?"
Yun Qingyi fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know Liang Ming?"
"Liangming? Who is Liangming?"
The mermaid princess's question confirmed Yun Qingyi's suspicions.
The merfolk are not numerous, and it is extremely difficult for them to reproduce. Therefore, even if a member of the clan does not know a particular merfolk, they will know his or her name to some extent.
Looking at the bewildered expression on the face of the mermaid princess in front of him, it was clear that he did not recognize her.
"Is it a newborn mermaid baby?" the mermaid princess asked again, then suddenly became sad.
"Why weren't you told that a new merman baby was born? I just don't want to marry Tuso, am I not entitled to know?"
"Tusuo must be the male merman lying on the seashell bed behind me," Yun Qingyi thought to herself.
"No, you've misunderstood. It's not a newborn mermaid baby."
"Who is that?" The mermaid princess looked confused, and there seemed to be a faint black aura emanating from her body.
Yun Qingyi calmly looked away. "Tell me some things first, and then I'll tell you."
“Okay, go ahead.” The mermaid princess immediately adopted a serious listening posture.
Recalling what the mermaid princess had just said, Yun Qingyi asked, "What did you mean by the energy dissipating at the bottom of the West Sea?"
Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, the mermaid princess immediately widened her eyes. "My goodness, you are even more ignorant of worldly affairs than I am. Although I think about Brother Liangjiao every day, I at least care about the ocean."
You're even worse than me, not even knowing this?
“If I knew, why would I ask you?” Yun Qingyi said.
“Yes.” The mermaid princess nodded in agreement, no longer caring whether Yun Qingyi knew about it or not.
He said to Yun Qingyi, "The reason why all marine life in the West Sea can live safely and carefree on the seabed is actually due to the infinite energy at the bottom of the West Sea."
Every year, these energies create all sorts of resources, large and small, for the Western Sea. It is these resources that have enabled us, the sea creatures, to survive generation after generation in the Western Sea.
But for some reason, in recent years, the resources produced in the resource-rich areas belonging to our Merfolk have become less and less. At first, we just thought that this area had aged and was no longer suitable for the birth of new natural treasures.
But later we inquired with other sea creatures and discovered that they had the same situation in their territories. At that time, my father and the other sea creature emperors consulted the sea shaman, and the result they received was that the energy at the bottom of the Western Sea was gradually depleting.
"Does the sea witch have a way to stop this decline?" Yun Qingyi asked, after all, the merman had just said that her father had given many treasures to the sea witch.
But the mermaid princess shook her head. "No, no, it can't stop this decline, it can only slow it down."
Speaking of this, the mermaid princess's expression seemed to darken again. "It makes me angry just thinking about this. My father is really something. When other sea creatures heard the news, they quickly packed up and migrated to the South China Sea."
He was so foolish as to take his family's treasure to the sea witch, asking her to re-infuse the energy from the treasure back into the Western Sea.
If the West Sea could be restored, I wouldn't say anything. But the problem is, the Sea Witch said that this is just a temporary fix and can't stop the West Sea's energy from depleting.
I really don't understand what he's arguing about!
