Bonds of souls

Ning Qing's plan

"No... It doesn't hurt." the honest and serious prince of the ocean replied although he stammered.

Sighing with relief, she adjusted his position a little better on her back and left the place walking along a kind of natural trail to the shell they were in.

Despite being short, the demon master prided herself on her physical aptitude being better than her sister's, with the princess not doubting that she stood out from the other demon masters.

Furthermore, the young woman trained in Kung Fu with a master after helping him and as gratitude, he trained her. No one but her knew that she was a Kung Fu master, causing her to amplify her physical skills and reflexes. Since demon masters didn't train in martial arts because they relied on their spiritual powers, they had many limitations. Only one or the other trained and even then, because they trusted their powers, they did not give due dedication.

After all, they could use the Hidden Pulse to increase their physical strength and stamina unlike demons who possess pure natural strength.

"See? I said I could carry you. Also, know that I am a Kung Fu master. That makes me stronger and more resistant than other demon masters" the princess speaks while feeling proud of her skills.

A-ji kept moving forward as he tried to walk because she feared increasing the pain if she ran with him, plus the fact that his tail was dragging on the ground, lifting the soft sand from the bottom of the sea and occasionally scraping some coral or rock.

It took some time for the newt to get used to its huge tail being dragged along the ground, making it feel the ocean sand and occasional corals, as well as rocks.

After all, the tail was always raised and when it rested on the ground it was to rest. Feeling her being dragged was a strange sensation.

As she thought of her tail dragging, with him waiting for it to happen, the prince decides to answer the princess:

"I never said you couldn't carry me and yes you are too short"

She huffs and then mutters in an annoyed voice, "Just shut up."

After a long walk, she arrives at the huge shell and places the merman in a corner, then goes to his back, starting to use magic to help heal the wounds and purify the toxin.

Unbeknownst to them, two of the subordinates sent by the king had found both of them and while one continued to watch them, the other went to fetch the monarch.

This one who watched them confessed that he was surprised by the actions of the Demon Master because he acted differently than he had heard since he was a puppy.

However, the young merman remembers that they are human and humans lie. As commendable as his actions were and equally admirable, it could just be pretending in search of something. Perhaps, luring their prince into a trap or seizing the secrets of their kind, making him understand the emperor's concern.

After all, it was the concern of all jiaoren.

When remembering that mermaid from the squid clan attacking the prince, the bluefin tuna demon realized that the crown prince did everything to protect her. The rumor of him having faced the power of the cedar, even if at the moment the monarch was using only a tiny part of his power, did not seem so far-fetched, as well as the rumor involving the tail on his father.

As he analyzed the Crown Prince's conduct, he came to believe that he was wanting to bond with the human because that would be the most plausible explanation for why he tailed his father.

Thinking about it, the young jiaoren becomes desperate because she was a demon master and it was known to the demons that they enjoyed taming or hunting because they hated their race and thought that all demons should be enslaved or killed without any distinction. Having such deep feelings for someone who was a threat to the demon race as a whole was insanity to say the least.
