Chapter 2374: Chapter 2373: Sober Up with a Dip in the Sea

Wa Wei skillfully climbed down along the rope at the side of the boat, facing the young man in the sea.

She couldn’t help but her eyes reddened, tears falling down. However, the young man smiled, ”Why are you crying again?”

”It’s all your fault!” Wa Wei said in a huff, ”Do you know how worried I am about you?”

The young man chuckled twice, ”I’m the one who worries about you!”

”Do all Merfolk only live for thirty years?” Wa Wei asked directly.

The young man showed a surprised expression, ”Who told you about this? Someone on the boat?”

”I know everything. Master Jiang on the boat is also a Merfolk. Sister Ruozhu said he only has three years left, so they want to find the Merfolk’s island to see if there’s a way to break the vein curse. What she said, is it true?” Wa Wei kept staring into the young man’s eyes, hoping to hear a denial, but his evasive gaze made her understand it was all true.

”I’m not like them. You see, I have a fish tail, surely I’ll live longer than them.” The young man said indifferently.

Wa Wei still wanted to cry, but she gritted her teeth and wiped her tears. Like Sister Ruozhu said, they still have a chance. She couldn’t keep crying and making him sad; he must be feeling worse inside.

The young man saw she stopped crying, sighed deeply, and then said sternly, ”Did you tell them about me? How can you trust people so easily?”

”Sister Ruozhu is a good person, I couldn’t bear for her to lose her husband. Do you think we can help her?” Wa Wei tugged the young man’s sleeve, somewhat pleadingly.

”How can I help her? I can’t even find the Merfolk’s island; they banished me and won’t let me return.” The young man said with a stern face.

”But how can they be so cruel? Even if you have a fish tail, what does it matter? I don’t care, why should they?” Wa Wei exclaimed angrily.

The young man pulled her into his arms, ”You’re a silly girl, that’s why you don’t care, but others won’t be like you.”

Wa Wei lost her balance, instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, and then her face flushed.

”How am I silly?” She looked down and muttered.

The young man laughed, but felt somewhat sad inside. They banished him because they feared him, but he didn’t want to tell Wa Wei about this.

”Is everything still alright with them? No one’s bullying you, right?” The young man tightened his arms around her, not allowing her to break free.

”Pretty good, everyone is nice to me. Sister Ruozhu is my teacher, she’s especially nice and knows a lot about medical skills. Her acupuncture is also particularly impressive, I’m learning from her every day and practicing needlework. In the future, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, I can treat you.” Wa Wei said excitedly.

”Alright, I’ll rely on you to take care of me in the future.” The young man said with a smile.

A figure suddenly appeared on the deck, lightly jumped onto the railing, and immediately saw the young man in the water.

”Sea Demon, let go of Wa Wei, surrender your life!” Qiu Zhi’s voice abruptly rang out, transforming into a streak of light, attacking the young man directly.

Wa Wei was frightened and quickly shouted, ”Brother Qiu, stop, he’s my friend!”

The young man quickly swam away with Wa Wei, but Qiu Zhi’s fire talisman was coming towards them. He could only leap out of the water, dodging the talisman and revealing his mermaid tail.

Qiu Zhi looked shocked and shouted at Wa Wei, ”Look, he doesn’t have legs, he truly is a Sea Demon. Don’t be fooled by him!”

Wa Wei was pale with fright; she didn’t know martial arts and had never faced such an intense scene.

Qiu Zhi kept throwing talismans and drew his peach wood sword to stab at the young man.

”Courting death!” The young man finally got angry, dodged the attack, and whipped Qiu Zhi into the sea with his tail.

”Ah...” Qiu Zhi shouted, making all the talisman papers on him soaked and useless.

Bai Ruozhu heard the commotion, called Jiang Yichun out, and saw the scene.

She looked at the young man holding Wa Wei in surprise. He looked like the legendary mermaid, human with a fish tail, extremely beautiful. But at this moment, he was furious, whipping huge waves at Qiu Zhi with his tail.

”Duannian, don’t hurt him!” Wa Wei shouted anxiously.

The young man flicked his tail, and the waves hit to the side, though not hurting Qiu Zhi, he still got drenched.

”Master, he’s a Sea Demon, be cautious!” Qiu Zhi wiped the water from his face and shouted at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu rubbed her forehead, said helplessly, ”Qiu Zhi, have you captured demons to the point of foolishness? Can’t you tell he’s a Merfolk? I came to find Merfolk, and you want to drive them away?”

Qiu Zhi looked amazed, looked at the young man, and then at Jiang Yichun, stammered, ”He doesn’t look like a Merfolk.”

”Then what do you say a Merfolk should look like?” the young man said angrily.

Then he swam to the boat with Wa Wei in his arms and placed Wa Wei on the boat.

”Duannian, are you hurt?” Wa Wei asked worriedly.

The young man, with a gloomy face, said, ”He can’t hurt me. You know I don’t like interacting with others, I’ll leave now.”

Finished speaking, he plunged into the sea, Wa Wei wanted to call him but was too late. When he emerged from the sea, he was already dozens of meters away, an astonishing speed.

His figure swam into the distance, and the song of the Merfolk bidding farewell sounded, like heavenly music.

Wa Wei’s tears flowed, watching the distant scene with reluctance.

Bai Ruozhu glared at Qiu Zhiyi fiercely, saying, ”You’ll soak in the sea water tonight until waking up before coming up!”

The weather wasn’t cold now, but the sea water was still somewhat cool at night. Qiu Zhi almost cried, said pitifully, ”Master, if I keep soaking, I’ll surely catch a cold.”

”That’s better than having water in your head!” Bai Ruozhu said angrily, ”Did you spoil the little couple seeing each other again, always capturing demons without my order? From now on, you are not allowed to act without permission, or get out!”

Bai Ruozhu, still annoyed, said fiercely, ”Swim back to your Dragon Tiger Gate yourself!”

Seeing she was truly angry, Qiu Zhi hurriedly said, ”Master, I know I was wrong, I won’t be so reckless in the future. I was just afraid Wa Wei was in danger, worried she was controlled by a demon. This kind of situation I’ve encountered when capturing demons with my teacher before; only when the demon is subdued, those under demon techniques can wake up.”

”Dare to speak?” Bai Ruozhu grabbed a fish fork and threw it towards him, Qiu Zhi hurriedly dodged, shouting, ”I won’t say anymore, I understand the mistake!”

Jiang Yichun hurriedly held Bai Ruozhu back and advised, ”Enough, he’s just stubborn-headed, not intentional. Make sure he doesn’t act without your instruction in the future.”

Wa Wei also quickly said, ”Sister Ruozhu, let it go, fortunately nothing happened, forgive him this once.”
