CHAPTER 88

Chapter 88: Deep Sea (XII)

The merman sculpture disappeared at an astonishing speed, so quickly that it made one question if it was just an illusion. How could a merman exhibit such emotional fluctuations in the research institute?

The male merman's dark green tail suddenly fell vertically. Despite his seemingly calm demeanor, the previously turbulent and angry droplets of water now returned to a gentle state. In the researchers' astonished gazes, he "cleaned up" all the crimson blood and even helped cover the wounds of the injured humans, providing basic first aid.

Compared to the earlier defiant attitude of the merman, this display now seemed pitiable, almost as if he had been abandoned.

He immediately recognized his king; they would never miss an opportunity to swear loyalty to the soul they cherished.

The little fish... didn't like it. It was too bloody.

Not only in the deep sea but also towards humans, it was the same.

It frightened the mermaids.

Xiao Li, observing the merman with his fish tail hanging straight and his sudden, even deathly quiet demeanor, was somewhat puzzled and couldn't understand what caused such a drastic change in the merman.

Even though his emotions were severely damaged and he had experienced one of the cruelest attacks of his life, the dark green-tailed merman remained extremely vigilant and disgusted towards unrelated beings, showing no obvious signs of vulnerability.

He sensed that there were still abnormal reactions in the research institute. Until he was absolutely certain he could safely take Mu Sheng away, the merman would not act recklessly.

When the merman settles down, it's easy to mistake him for a model from a fashion week if you ignore his fish tail. However, his cold and mysterious demeanor suggests that such a professional guess is merely based on appearances.

After discussing with other uneasy researchers, Xiao Li concluded that it was his final comment that made a difference: promising the merman that he would see the crown.

So now, the problem is how to contact Blair to get the crown from him.

Xiao Li furrowed his brow and glanced at the merman during a break from discussing solutions with his colleagues—the merman was looking at the blue-tailed mermaid.

Xiao Li: "......"

That subtle feeling returned again. Xiao Li couldn't quite explain it himself. The merman's behavior was normal; observing other deep-sea creatures in his "territory" was expected. But when the object of his attention was Mu Sheng, it seemed different.

It was similar to how he initially observed Blair occasionally looking at the blue-tailed mermaid.

The merman turned his head coldly and stared at Xiao Li, warning the human that he had clear control over their actions and that his dirty gaze should not be on him.

Then he quickly turned away, as if he had seen something unpleasant.

After a while, he looked back at Mu Sheng.

The blue-tailed mermaid, no longer scared, remained cautiously retracted, keeping a safe distance from the dangerous and powerful merman.

Under such a strong and nonchalant gaze, the pale side of Mu Sheng's face soon turned red, spreading to his slender neck and behind his ears.

There was a hint of barely noticeable embarrassment.

The merman's tail moved slightly, and he turned his head away.
