After traveling back to the interstellar world, I became a mermaid

Seeing Mu Cai's figure disappear from sight, Liya closed the door and fell to the ground unable to hold up.

She leaned against the door for a while, then reluctantly stood up, facing the empty room, and suddenly said: "Excuse me, are you there?"

The room was quiet for two seconds, and suddenly a voice responded: "I'm here."

The voice was a robotic child's voice, a little weird, not like the voice of a normal person.

It's the voice of 006!

Liya straightened up and gave a mermaid greeting: "Thank you for your help to the little princess over the years."

"No need, just take what you need." 006's voice was as lively as ever.

Liya moved her lips and couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take for the little princess's mission to be completed?"

006 replied: "The mission is still one-third away from completion, but with Caicai's speed, it is expected to be completed before she reaches adulthood."

Lea bowed again.

006: "If there is nothing else to ask, I will leave first."

Leah nodded slightly. The room returned to silence, making Liya a little lost in thought.

A hundred years ago, after humans launched a war against mermaids, Leia and other mermaids continued to pray to the sea god to help the mermaids survive this crisis.

Until the mermaid clan was about to perish, there was no turning point. Liya almost thought that Poseidon had given up protecting the mermaid clan.

Until the appearance of outsiders in this so-called "system".

The king and queen made a deal with it.

It takes the little princess to a safe place and waits for the right time to bring the little princess back.

The price is that the little princess must complete the task it has been assigned.

Compared to the nutritional cabin, which has the side effect of accelerating aging, that is the only way to save the little princess.

Liya's thoughts were racing, sometimes she thought of the beautiful life that filled her with expectations, and sometimes she thought of her home being turned into ruins, surrounded by mottled blood, and she stood there in a daze.

After a while, she shook her head gently, cleared her mind, walked slowly to a corner of the room, lowered her head slightly, looked pious, clasped her hands together, and prayed in a low voice: "Great Lord Poseidon, please listen. Your believer - the prayer of Liya. Thank you very much for rescuing the little princess in the war... Liya will always be your most loyal believer. I hope you will bless the little princess and protect her every day. Well-being... Liya is willing to dedicate her soul to you and be your pious servant forever..."

Liya's voice came and went, making it difficult to hear clearly.

As her strength gradually weakened, her body bent down from standing upright, and then she knelt on the ground.

Until her head was lowered and she was leaning weakly against the wall, her eyes were slightly closed, her praying lips gradually stopped moving, and her clasped hands dropped weakly.

Her expression was peaceful, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised in a smile.

It seems that I have returned to my happiest time.

The room fell silent.

......

Mu Cai followed Bai Yu's steps and walked out.

Her eyes were still red, and she looked like she had cried, but Bai Yu didn't ask.

Until she couldn't help but say: "Brother Bai Yu, the bodies of you and Brother Mo Chuan..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she almost cried again.

Bai Yu stopped and looked back at the little mermaid who started to drop pearls again. He knelt down and looked at her level, "Caicai, don't cry."

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.

"Mo Chuan and I will stay with you for a long, long time. The mermaid tribe includes not only the two of us, but also other tribesmen. They will be very good to you."

Mu Cai remained silent, but tears continued to fall.

She already regards Bai Yu and Mo Chuan as family members. It doesn't matter if other mermaids treat her well. They are them, but Bai Yu and Mo Chuan are unique.

Bai Yu had no choice but to let her vent her emotions first, and then slowly accept it.

He took Mu Cai into the largest palace.

This palace is extremely spacious, with many rooms of different sizes.

Bai Yu said that this is the royal palace, the residence of the kings and queens of the mermaid tribe in the past generations.

Mu Cai was tired from crying, and his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Bai Yu was silent for a while, then carried Mu Cai to the bed, "Caicai, please rest first. I will take you out to visit other places tomorrow."

The bed is filled with soft cushions and various pillows and dolls. You can tell from the first glance that it has been carefully prepared. There are also mermaid eggs in the corner that Mu Cai asked Bai Yu to keep for a while.

Mu Cai lay on the bed, silently watching Bai Yu's leaving figure.

Her thoughts were racing and she couldn't help but hug the pillow beside her. A plate of mermaid eggs that had been waiting quietly moved over and rubbed against Mu Cai, as if to comfort him.

Mu Cai brought the mermaid egg over and gently tapped the shell: "When will you be able to break the shell?"

The mermaid egg shook again, as if to say that he didn't know either.

Mu Cai sighed.

She thought of what Liya said for a while, and then thought of Bai Yu and Mo Chuan's bodies.

Could this be the case with other mermaids?

Watching someone familiar die in front of you is something no one wants to experience, and Mu Cai is the same.

But as Liya said, birth, aging, illness and death are natural laws, and Mu Cai himself cannot escape them.

After thinking about it, Mu Cai felt a little relieved.

Still sad though.

She tossed and turned on the bed holding the mermaid egg, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up and opened her eyes in a daze, the room was extremely quiet, except for the mermaid eggs floating freely around the room.

Because in the sea, the mermaid eggs move much more freely, and can float around on their own, unlike on land where they can only dangle.

Mu Cai got off the bed, opened the door and walked out with the mermaid egg in his arms.

There was no one outside, not a single mermaid could be seen, but fish swam by from time to time.

Maybe because this is a royal palace.

Mu Cai swam out for a while before he saw the first mermaid.

Then came the second and third one.

At first they were a little stunned when they saw Mu Cai, but they quickly came to their senses and leaned forward to salute, their faces full of respect: "Good morning, Your Highness."

Mu Cai was also stunned, realizing that they were saluting him, and quickly replied: "Good morning."

The mermaid he met next had the same reaction. Mu Cai was a little confused and returned to the palace.

She returned to the room where she rested yesterday and saw Bai Yu at the door.

"Brother Bai Yu."

Bai Yu looked at her and knew that she had figured it out and no longer bothered about their accelerated aging. He nodded slightly and said, "Did Caicai go out just now?"

Mu Cai nodded: "Well, I met other mermaids."

She felt a little awkward: "They salute when they see me."

"This is a normal courtesy for you. Cai Cai just needs to accept it." Bai Yu knew that Mu Cai might not have experienced this kind of situation before and was a little uncomfortable. "It stands to reason that I should also address Your Highness as such."
