Chapter 391 The Fifth Prince

Seeing Su Muyao's serious expression, Ye Ying's heart tightened. He said softly, "Miss Su, it's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

She is still very weak. This is the seaside, and the sea breeze is very cold at night.

He was worried that she would catch a cold from the cold wind.

Su Muyao did not refuse.

They had slept together in the cave before, so she didn't think there was anything special about it now.

After entering the house, Ye Ying poured water for Su Muyao and used his special ability to control the water temperature just right.

"Drink some water first."

Su Muyao nodded, took a sip of water. The water temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

Looking at the shadows in the lamplight, Su Muyao asked, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Night Shadow said softly, "I believe Miss Su, so if Miss Su doesn't want to talk about her worries, there must be a reason why she can't."

Hearing these words, Su Muyao felt a strange mix of emotions.

To be honest, when she's with Nightshade, he always knows how to strike the right balance, making her feel comfortable and without any discomfort.

But when she was with him, she felt a strange sense of guilt.

She said, "To be honest, I have to go to the Sea Clan to take care of some things."

Although Nightshade didn't understand why she wanted to go to the Sea Clan, he immediately said, "I know more about the Sea Clan, I'll go with you."

He would accompany her no matter what she wanted to do.

Moreover, he was quite knowledgeable about the sea creatures and the situation in the sea.

Hearing Ye Ying's unwavering words, Su Muyao felt as if something soft had gently bumped into her heart, bringing a sense of warmth.

Su Muyao said in a low voice, "To be honest, this time it should be very dangerous. I want to go to the Sea Clan's royal family to get the Sea Clan's Soul Gathering Lamp."

"I don't want to bring you danger, and besides, you are a Goose Beastman, unable to survive in the sea."

"All I have is the water-repelling bead you gave me."

The more Night Shadow cared for her, the less she wanted to deceive him or bring him danger.

Nightshade looked at her in disbelief and said, "The Soul-Gathering Lamp?"

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Yes, isn't it incredible? But I need it."

She was willing to risk her life to obtain the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

Su Muyao's eyes were filled with determination.

When Ye Ying met her gaze, he understood what was going on. He said, "Don't go. I'll go to the bottom of the sea to get the Soul Gathering Lamp for you."

"Trust me, I will definitely help you get it."

Even if he were to do this, it would be extremely dangerous, and he couldn't let Su Muyao get hurt because of it.

Su Muyao grabbed Ye Ying's sleeve, afraid that he would just go to the sea tribe without a care.

"I've heard that the Soul Gathering Lamp is the treasure of the Sea Clan, a precious object worshipped by the Sea Clan's royal family. It's not easy to obtain."

"And aren't you going to ask me what I need the Soul Gathering Lamp for?"

Night Shadow looked intently at Su Muyao and said, "No matter what you do, the fact that you need it means it must be very important to you."

"I'll get it for you."

Night Shadow couldn't explain his origins, but he spoke to Su Muyao with certainty.

Hopefully, she can trust him and entrust this task to him, rather than taking the risk herself.

The system said, "Host, Nightshade was able to obtain some things from the sea creatures, including water-repelling beads, which means he may indeed have some connection with them. Since you know nothing about the sea creatures, you can ask him for help."

Su Muyao couldn't bring herself to let Ye Ying take the risk.

Even though she is relatively weak now.

"But...but..."

Su Muyao was about to persuade Ye Ying when Ye Ying suddenly sensed the commotion outside and fired his hidden weapon.

"bump!"

There seemed to be a sound of something falling to the ground.

Night Shadow had already left the house like a gust of wind. Su Muyao's expression changed, and she followed him out of the courtyard, where she saw a puddle of water with a sea beastman lying in it.

"Is this a sea creature beastman?"

"How did sea creatures and beastmen end up here?"

Moreover, judging from the sea creature's attire, it seems to be a guard or similar role.

Nightshade stared at him, a hidden weapon pressed against his throat, and interrogated, "Who sent you?"

"Fifth Prince, why make things difficult for a subordinate? I sent him."

"I just want to know why the Fifth Prince gave up on the marriage alliance with my whale clan."

Accompanied by a distant sound, a wave of dampness swept in, and a figure in black descended from the sky, his body seemingly shrouded in a layer of mist, obscuring his features.

He looked at Su Muyao and said, "The Fifth Prince refused to marry into our whale clan because of this land female, and even preferred to use the Face-Changing Pearl to change his true form."

"But does this female know?"

"The male who's been by his side isn't a wild goose beastman at all... Bang!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Night Shadow had already taken to the air and pursued him.

With a flick of his finger, countless feathers transformed into sharp hidden weapons, attacking the man in black.

The black-clad man's palm surged with water, instantly transforming into a semi-transparent water escape technique, blocking Night Shadow's fatal blow.

At the same time, the water waves carried by the man in black quickly condensed into a water column, which twisted in the air into the shape of a giant python, wrapping around the night shadow with a whistling sound.

At the same time, several slender water threads shot out like serpents, about to entangle Su Muyao.

Su Muyao swiftly wielded her Azure Lotus Sword, cutting through the water droplets.

In that instant, Ye Ying couldn't care less about fighting the man in black. His expression changed, and he was about to be distracted to protect Su Muyao.

The water sphere that the man in black had condensed in his palm slammed into Night Shadow with overwhelming force.

Nightshade conjured enormous wings behind him to block the attack.

The man in black said, "Fifth Prince, there are many limitations to your use of the Face-Changing Pearl; it restricts your strength."

"If you want to protect this female, you'd better show some real skills."

"Otherwise, if you accidentally hurt the little female you're so attached to, don't blame me."

Ye Ying dared not look at Su Muyao's expression at this moment, for fear of seeing disappointment and disgust in her eyes.

But compared to all of these, Su Muyao's safety is the most important.

Just as he was about to condense dozens of water spheres to surround Su Muyao from all directions, Ye Ying dared not use the Face-Changing Pearl anymore.

With a flick of his finger, his water-based power materialized, unleashing a rain of water arrows. At the same time, whirlpools in the water devoured the power of the water spheres.
The water droplets from the collision exploded in the air, and the water flowed down like water drills.

"You won't get hurt in the slightest."

Ye Ying protected Su Muyao tightly from beginning to end.

The man in black looked down at Su Muyao in the courtyard. He had to admit that the Fifth Prince of the Merfolk royal family had excellent taste.

This female was breathtakingly beautiful.

Unfortunately, beauty alone is not enough.

Since returning to the Sea Clan royal family, the Fifth Prince has been valued by the Sea Emperor and possesses great strength and talent.

The Sea Emperor even wanted him to inherit the Sea Clan.

But the struggle between princes is not so simple.

If he were smart, he should marry into their whale clan and gain their support.

Instead of accompanying such a beautiful but weak female.

……

Su Muyao saw this scene in the courtyard and listened to what the man in black had just said, her expression changed.

What, Fifth Prince? And how come Nightshade has water-based superpowers?

What exactly is going on?
