Chapter 327: Chapter 34: The Elf Prince’s Wish (Mermaid’s Tears)

”Xi Ya, Xi Ya, my Xi Ya, what on earth happened? Is it them, did they put a curse on you, making you lose your mind? I’m your Buren...” Buren found an opening and shouted loudly.

”It was because I lost my mind that I fell for a scum like you! Bastard!” Upon hearing this, Xi Ya became even angrier, striking with even more ferocity. Her twisted, distorted expression bore no trace of a noble princess.

The King looked at Xi Ya, then at Tianmiao, full of confusion. The Queen was trembling all over, but she was happy. Her daughter had finally come to her senses! Although she was a bit fierce now, it was much better than when she was mindlessly lost.

”Die!” Water Magic appeared in Xi Ya’s hand as she aimed to kill Buren.

”Is killing him just like that too easy? What do you think, Iron-blood Queen?” Tianmiao’s voice drifted over, light and seductive, laden with an indescribable allure and malice.

Xi Ya’s hand paused in mid-air as she gradually calmed down, her eyes coldly fixed on the bruised and battered Buren lying on the ground. She slowly stood up, straightened her posture, and her gaze changed in an instant. Gone was the previous madness and anger, replaced by cold decisiveness.

”Take him to the dungeon,” Xi Ya’s voice was devoid of warmth but carried an unquestionable authority.

Someone stepped forward to drag Buren away.

Only then did Xi Ya turn to Tianmiao, bowing deeply in the most solemn ritual of the Mermaid Clan, murmuring, ”Thank you, thank you, my lord, for your help.”

”Don’t thank me, you’re not worthy,” Tianmiao sneered, ”What you need to do is apologize to those who love you and make amends.”

Xi Ya stood up, turned to look at the King and Queen, unable to hold back her tears any longer as they welled up and overflowed.

”Father, Mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...” Xi Ya advanced and knelt on the ground before the King and Queen, desperately apologizing.

”It’s alright, foolish child, what are you doing? How could we blame you?” The King and Queen hurriedly crouched down to help Xi Ya, but she refused to get up.

Only Tianmiao knew that Xi Ya’s apology was not just for those hurtful words she had said before—more so, it was for the things she did after ascending to the throne.

A crisp ”ta-ta” sound echoed on the ground; it was the sound of the Mermaid Princess’s tears turning into pearls as they fell.

Xia Chuanyue widened his eyes and whispered to Camille, ”Can Mermaid’s Tears really turn into pearls? Is this legend true?”

”It’s the first time I’ve seen it too. They say only tears shed when a mermaid’s heart breaks turn to pearls. I didn’t expect the legend to be true,” Camille replied.

”These pearls look quite nice. Do you think I could pick up a few?” Xia Chuanyue asked.

”That doesn’t seem quite right,” Camille hesitated. Just as he finished speaking, a pearl rolled to his feet. He surreptitiously stepped on it, squatted to pick it up, discreetly handed it to Xia Chuanyue, and whispered, ”Shh, just keep it quietly.”

Xia Chuanyue took the pearl, smiled demurely at how Camille’s words and actions were completely different, and felt her heart soften.

What left the King and Queen helpless was resolved just like that—simply and brutally solved.
