The evil female is delicate and weak, and the four beastly husbands take turns feeding her.

Chapter 209 Mermaid Reef 09
Ye Xi'an felt he couldn't push her too hard: I agree.

The cat and fish had just finished their conversation when the dog eagerly came over: "Honey, what did he say?"

He said I could only take one person to the mermaid's lair.

Before Yi Yang could react, Bo Jing said, "An'an, I'll go with you."

Yi Yang also got anxious, his voice booming: "Why should I go! If anyone should go, it should be me! I can fight! I'm tough!"

Although Ji Jiangci didn't speak, his lips moved slightly, but he ultimately pursed them tightly. However, the worry and longing in his eyes were equally evident as he looked at Ye Xi'an.

Ye Xi'an's gaze swept over the three of them, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, as if he were also somewhat troubled.

The Mermaid King watched them with a leisurely air, a barely perceptible hint of interest flashing in his golden eyes, as if he were quite pleased to see this internal strife.

"Let Ji Jiangci come with me," Ye Xi'an decided. She felt that Ji Jiangci was more stable and frugal, and that he might be able to find something useful at the mermaid's nest.

Ji Jiangci's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Ye Xi'an to choose him. He pulled Bo Jing and Yi Yang apart, one on each arm, and took Ye Xi'an's hand: "Wife, let's go!"

Bo Jing narrowed his sharp eyes, and Yi Yang pouted, both looking at Ji Jiangci with great jealousy. But there was nothing they could do; since Ye Xi'an had already made his choice, it meant they had failed.

The Mermaid King was somewhat disappointed, not expecting the conflict among the Orcs to be resolved so quickly. He spread his hands, revealing two teardrop-shaped transparent beads lying alone in his webbed palm.

Ye Xi'an picked them up, put one in his own mouth, and then stuffed the other into Ji Jiangci's mouth.

Ji Jiangci felt the fleeting warmth on his lips, and the tips of his ears, hidden under his hair, quietly turned red.

Having done all this, Ye Xi'an didn't hesitate at all. With a swift flip, he leaped into the icy seawater, like a purple lightning bolt, and swam towards the deep sea with the Mermaid King's team.

As the altitude decreases, visibility underwater diminishes, and the seawater temperature drops. The seawater presses against the mortal body, making one feel somewhat suffocated, but fortunately, it is still within an acceptable range.

The mermaid procession in front of him gradually slowed down. Ye Xi'an passed through the school of fish and spotted a patch of blood-red coral in the dim seabed.

The Mermaid King swam up to Ye Xi'an: Stay close to me, or you'll die here if you lose me.

Ye Xi'an's lips twitched at the blunt words. As expected, he was still wild, speaking to his partner who was going to help them rescue the fish babies like that.

The path through the coral reefs twisted and turned, and suddenly the view opened up before Ye Xi'an. Although he had seen all sorts of strange buildings on the main planet, he couldn't help but widen his cat-like eyes when he saw the mermaid's nest.

A massive stone pillar, like a pillar stabilizing the sea, stands in the center of the coral reef. Looking up along the stone arm, you can't see the end. The pillar is covered with countless holes, and the tunnels inside are equally interconnected.

The mermaids moved nimbly through the cave, and Ye Xi'an quickly followed them into the interior of the stone pillar.

The interior was dimly lit, but as you went deeper, a faint blue light gradually emanated from the strange minerals and luminous aquatic plants embedded in the cave walls, brightening the originally dim view.

Ye Xi'an floated in the seawater at the center of the stone pillar, with a bottomless abyss beneath his feet and the faint sunlight shining through from above. Various schools of seawater fish drifted leisurely by in front of him, and colorful corals and seaweed grew on the stone walls.

"So beautiful," Ye Xi'an couldn't help but exclaim. The beauty of nature is indeed something that no amount of divine craftsmanship can match.

"If you like, we can get a fish tank at home sometime," Ji Jiangci said tenderly, gazing at Ye Xi'an. As long as Ye Xi'an was happy, he was happy.

Ye Xi'an shook his head: "The fish tank is nothing compared to this place, and we're always on missions, we don't have time to take care of them." As he spoke, Ye Xi'an scanned his surroundings and suddenly spotted a familiar figure in a cave not far away.

Just as Ye Xi'an was about to go over to see if it was the person he knew, the Mermaid King suddenly blocked his way: I have already brought you to the nest, what is your purpose?

Ye Xi'an had no choice but to tell the Mermaid King, "I don't have any particular purpose. I just wanted to get the Heart of the Ocean. The Heart of the Ocean is only found in your cave. I'm just taking a trip here."

The Mermaid King frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Heart of the Ocean? What's that?"

Ye Xi'an: "Uh, it's your excrement."

After Ye Xi'an finished speaking, the Mermaid King's gaze towards her instantly changed. Although he was somewhat disgusted and speechless, he still said, "If you had said so earlier, I would have had them pull it out for you directly."

Ye Xi'an: "...No need for that."

The Mermaid King breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he had encountered a pervert. Before he could even breathe a second sigh of relief, Ye Xi'an continued.

"I want one that's older."

Mermaid King: . . . . .

Ye Xian: . . . .

What could she do? The Heart of the Ocean only increases in value with age.

The mermaid flicked his tail and said, "Then go find it yourself. Remember to return to land within three hours." With that, he swam away without looking back, as if he had stepped in poop and was in a hurry to go home and wash his feet.

With the Mermaid King gone, Ye Xi'an was finally able to get close to the cave to investigate.

A tall figure huddled motionless among the coral reefs.

The man's red hair was disheveled and covered part of his face. Even in his unconscious state, his brows were still tightly furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain.

The pair of Qilin horns on his forehead, which should have shone with a flame-like luster, now appeared somewhat dull and lifeless.

It really is Gu Feng!
He seemed to be trapped in some kind of terrible nightmare, his body twitching slightly from time to time, his face covered in cold sweat, his lips moving as if he were silently calling out something.

Ji Jiangci also saw Gu Feng, and before Ye Xi'an could make a move, he stepped forward and patted Gu Feng's face.

No matter how he tried to take pictures, the person in front of him didn't react. Helpless, he could only look up at Ye Xi'an for help.

"Gu Feng must be having nightmares too."

Ye Xi'an smiled faintly, stepped forward slowly, and pulled Gu Feng into her arms. She pressed her forehead against Gu Feng's forehead, and a white light shone between Ye Xi'an and Gu Feng, illuminating Ye Xi'an's already delicate face as white as snow.

Ji Jiangci stared at Ye Xi'an's profile with fascination. He felt that since emerging from the nightmare, Ye Xi'an was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, radiating a light that made people want to get closer, but when they actually got close, it felt like he was unattainable. He must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to be able to join Ye Xi'an's family during the matching process.

As the white light slowly dimmed, Gu Feng suddenly opened his crimson eyes and met Ye Xi'an's gaze the next second. He pounced on Ye Xi'an like a madman.
