After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Xiao Yu glanced at it subtly, and was held captive for a few seconds.

"However, there's nothing wrong with having that Thousand-Year Water-Transporting Pearl inside my body. It can continuously generate water, which is like having an ocean inside my body. So, it's fine to stay on the ground like this. How is it... pretty?"

With a slightly raised tone and a cheerful atmosphere, Xia Nianmo quickly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xiao Yu. Her jade-like legs were slightly bent, while the other jade-like leg was straight on the ground, radiating a soft luster under the sunlight.

It must be said that her legs are very beautiful, slender and graceful, with soft lines; she is truly a natural beauty in white stockings.

"Ouch... Ouch! My butt..."

Unfortunately, Xia Nianmo couldn't stand on one leg for long before she swayed and fell down.

She really overestimated herself. She hasn't even learned to walk properly yet, and she's already trying to stand on one leg. She's really overestimating herself.

As for whether she thought it looked good or not... Xiao Yu shook his head.

It looks nice, but she doesn't understand it at all!

What is the greatest charm of merfolk?

Isn't it just that unique fish tail and those jewel-like, shiny scales?

That's the charm!

Now Xia Nianmo's fishtail has turned into legs, which is a perfect way to play to her weaknesses and avoid her strengths.

Two-legged women are common, but mermaids with a single tail are quite rare.

Xiao Yu can only be described as average.

He stepped forward and reached out to pull Xia Nianmo, who was rubbing her bottom, up.

"Anyway, you can stay on Daike Peak for the next few days. There are specially prepared rooms there. Don't wander around too much. Don't worry, leave the way out to me. I'll take you out." Xiao Yu felt a bit of a headache. Xia Nianmo's trip to Jumo Island had a significant impact on the plot.

Staying on Guiding Island indefinitely will inevitably lead to trouble. If it attracts the protagonist, then we're doomed.

"go out?"

Xia Nianmo looked at the man with dark hair and brown eyes in front of her, whose face showed that familiar look of headache, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Her beautiful eyes curved into adorable crescent moons, and she smiled sweetly, nodding as she said:

"Sure! Let's go out together then."

Her tone was firm, showing no doubt about what Xiao Yu said, as if whatever he did was bound to succeed.

The two adorable dimples were faintly visible in the sunlight, causing Xiao Yu to stare blankly for a few seconds.

With Young Master Ye around, she doesn't need to waste her energy thinking about anything else.

She only needed to obediently follow his instructions.

Xiao Yu's strength is beyond doubt. Just like when he was competing for the title of Holy Maiden, it was so easy for him; he passed the test without even lying down.

Xia Nianmo's gaze softened as she looked at Xiao Yu, like the waves of the ocean, surging yet gentle.

With Young Master Ye around, no matter how unfamiliar the environment or how difficult the danger, it's nothing.

after all……

He is this saintess's personal strategist.

Thinking this, the little voice in her head proudly put her hands on her hips.

Moreover, she had also considered what that kung fu sect leader had said.

Is it a no-exit policy, only allowing entry?

That's alright. She glanced at Xiao Yu beside her and thought that staying here for the rest of her life wouldn't be so bad.

There are no merfolk here, so having a bunch of merfolk babies and continuing the family line would be a good idea.

For some unknown reason, the merman woman blushed slightly and subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

Xiao Yu: "..."

What kind of daydream are you having?!

We should hurry up and show her around the place; time is running out.

……

The Demon Gathering Island is quite large, roughly half the size of an outer continent. After an afternoon, Xiao Yu led Xia Nianmo on a rough tour.

It was almost dark by the time we recognized the various peaks.

However, they did manage to finish their visit. During that time, Xia Nianmo was quite well-behaved. She remained quiet until they reached the Guest Peak, only occasionally letting out a silly grin, seemingly lost in thought.

I have obtained a high-grade spirit stone.

The sun was setting in the west, and darkness was about to fall.

After sending Xia Nianmo back to Daike Peak and collecting his reward, Xiao Yu came out looking exhausted.

The situation is extremely urgent; we need to find a way to get rid of Xia Nianmo, this burden.

However, taking people off Guiding Island...

Xiao Yu had no clue. He could come and go freely because of the extraterrestrial demons, which meant he had exploited a loophole in the Chaotic Forbidden Sea.

Xia Nianmo is not some extraterrestrial demon, but a genuine native. She would probably be torn to shreds by the violent alien Dao traces in the Chaotic Forbidden Sea the moment she leaves the Demon Gathering Island.

Xiao Yu pondered whether he should knock Xia Nianmo unconscious, stuff her into his storage ring, and then take her out.

But it might not work; I haven't tried it.

Ultimately, why was Xia Nianmo dragged to Jumo Island?

That doesn't make sense. It's impossible no matter how you look at it.

Shouldn't the female lead always be next to the main character?

What are you doing here, acting as his stand-in?

Xiao Yu couldn't understand, and as if to answer his question, a mechanically calm voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"bite……"

"The Chosen One has been detected. The protagonist's auxiliary system is being bound!"

???

A protagonist support system?!

Xiao Yu looked constipated.

You've kidnapped the wrong person!

Chapter Fifteen: I'm in Sword Prison, Come and Get Me!

Under the gentle night breeze, Xiao Yu stood before Waiting Guest Peak, his whole being disheveled in the wind.

He remembered... wasn't a system a must-have for the protagonist?

How did it end up on him?

"bite……"

"System binding successful."

"Hello, host. This system is a protagonist support system. Its purpose is to help the protagonist become stronger, advance the plot, kick cannon fodder villains, punch the mastermind, achieve a happy ending, and move towards humanity..."

"Um... excuse me for interrupting, but I think you might have bound yourself to the wrong person! The person you're trying to bind should be outside."

Hearing what the thing in his mind, which called itself the protagonist's auxiliary system, was saying, Xiao Yu couldn't help but speak up.

If he hadn't taken the blame for the main character, he would have been an unknown passerby, since he doesn't even exist in the novel.

There's no such thing as a system. Besides, judging from the name, the person this system is bound to should be the protagonist.

Upon hearing this, the system paused for a moment, then said with certainty:

"Host, don't talk nonsense. Before binding, this system has already scanned the system and found that you are the only protagonist. How could it have bound the wrong person?"

"I think you should check it carefully; you've definitely made a mistake."

"Impossible, this system cannot malfunction."

"Let's check it out."

"impossible!"

"Check it out..."

"..."

He was probably a little impatient, or perhaps he was convinced by what Xiao Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu felt an invisible gaze sweep over his entire body.

"........."

The system remained silent for a very long time, so long that Xiao Yu thought it had broken down.

"You... are a demon from beyond the heavens?!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yu nodded.

Seeing this, the system fell silent again.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu understood. He waved his hand, "See, you were wrong. I'm just a nobody, I don't have any system. You should unbind yourself and find..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a voice rang in his mind:

"This system says you're the protagonist, and you are the protagonist!"

"This……"

Despite the unchanging mechanical voice, Xiao Yu detected a hint of exasperation in it.

Why are you getting so worked up?

After that, there was another long silence.
