He Jiu did a thorough inspection on Al during the short period of time when Al was drowsy.

Fortunately, no internal organs were injured and there were no particularly serious injuries.

With the help of the air current on the rock wall, Ayre not only absorbed He Jiu's water system ability, but also seemed to get He Jiu's wood system ability.

Put your hand on Al's forehead.

He Jiu felt the ability of Al's body to gradually calm down.

I don't know when Al will wake up.

Look at the time displayed on the bracelet.

Three hours is really fast...

He promised that Zhan Baili would go back within three hours, and there is still about an hour or so.

He Jiu applied medicine to himself and put on new clothes, standing in front of the transparent bubble film, watching the beautiful elves in the Mermaid Gully.

"Ghost fish?..."

He Jiu muttered to himself, and then watched the elves who suddenly started to slow down to gather in his direction.

Those beautiful creatures, He Jiu is really unheard of.

Although Al said they are ghost fish.

But after a little observation, He Jiu found that within this pitch-black trench... there is a cyclical food chain.

These creatures are uniform, transparent and gorgeous.

Some are like Shengkai's lilies, and some are like budding roses.

There are also some, like floating bodies where several things are combined together.

They are swallowing each other in a way that would be extremely difficult to find if not carefully distinguished.

Look at the various ‘ghost fish’ that gradually cover the entire bubble.

He Jiu suddenly understood why Al said he would die after being pushed into the abyss.

These ghost fish are just...

Just waiting to eat those hapless guys who have unfortunately fallen into this trench.

He Jiu looked at the unfathomable world outside.

There are too many secrets of the ocean, so many that even today's humans still can't grasp it.

When He Jiu stopped trying to figure out all the secrets about Mermaid Gully.

Turning to look at Al, who was still lying there, Al's legs had gradually disappeared. Instead, the transparent fishtail gradually wrapped and melted Al's legs.

Al also seemed to be waking up.

He Jiu hurried to Al's side and put his hand on Al's chest.

"Boom!"

A violent heart beat.

He Jiu's hands couldn't help but shake.

"Cough cough cough cough... vomit~"

Al's eyes slowly opened.

Those bright blue pupils may be because Al was originally the child of the ocean.

Obviously He Jiu gave Al the ability of water system.

As soon as Al opened his eyes, he could manipulate those water elements.

Even faster and more powerful than what wine.

He Jiu patted Al's back lightly, looking at the scales on Al's body.

Although He Jiu hadn't studied Al's scales before he advanced, but now it looks more and more angular and square scales.

He Jiu frowned slightly and thought of a mysterious creature more legendary than a mermaid.

"Inverse Scale Flood Dragon..."

He Jiu couldn't help but touch the scales on Al Fish's tail.

The extremely sharp scales, if Al hadn't put away the opening that turned outwards, I'm afraid He Jiu's finger would be cut by the opening in the scale.

[Wine... Am I looking better than before? 】

Al still had wounds on his body, but looked at He Jiu's eyes with great expectation.

He Jiu heard the words, his eyes moved to Al's face.

A little more, it is true that Ayer has grown up more, or evolved more.

Long golden hair was scattered behind Al.

As El excitedly mobilized his abilities, those long golden hair seemed to have come to wither.

The advancement is over...

Al has gained new power and has a start.

And He Jiu looked at the focused gaze that Al was expecting and remembered Al's dedication to himself before.

When He Jiu felt that it was the most dangerous, neither a human nor a beast could make a fake.

So he has made up his mind to leave Al.

He Jiu hesitated and smiled.

[Al... we should leave here. 】

He Jiu reminded.

Then Al nodded.

Holding He Jiu's hand, he blocked He Jiu behind.

After regulating the water element to form a huge water ball around, Al easily entered the water ball and created a bubble mask for He Jiu in the water ball.

After a flick, Al rushed out of the cave with He Jiu.

With the light on Al's body, He Jiu re-entered the Mermaid Gully.

Looking into the depths of the Mermaid Gully, in that glance.

He Jiu saw some faint creatures in the depths of Mermaid Gully.

Huge...and mysterious...

The constantly surging current surging back and forth in this long and deep trench.

He Jiu was pulled by Al's hand and slowly moved backwards in the water absorbed by the sound.

Look back at the colorful ghost fishes that were overthrown by Al's water polo.

Anyone who comes into contact with the sea creatures like El Radiance Spirit seems to have the ability to refract brilliance.

So while leaving the mermaid ditch and looking at the dark world, it seemed as if a beautiful mermaid pearl brought out a dazzling shining galaxy.

"Puff——! Gu!"

Finally, before three hours arrived, the advanced successful Al took He Jiu's hand and appeared in front of the eagerly awaited Mermaid and Zhan Baili.

He Jiu waved at Zhan Baili on one side, and then at the big mermaid on the other side.

With a happy smile on Al's face, a more slender fishtail turned and took He Jiu's hand with both hands.

[Al... you have successfully advanced... and I... should go now]

He Jiu finished talking with Al intermittently, his expression firm but slightly sad.

All of a sudden, Al's happiness was overwhelmed on his face.

Those blue eyes are so beautiful every time I look at it...

[Wine...Can't you stay longer? 】

Al unexpectedly didn't beg any wine to stay this time.

It looked at He Jiu innocently, and only expected He Jiu to accompany him for a while.

[Al... you have to know that I am not...]

[Wine, do you know? I have built this bubble world for a long, long time. I want to live here with you. 】

Al turned around and took He Jiu's hand, actually directly interrupting He Jiu's explanation that he had said too many times.

He Jiu frowned and couldn't refuse.

There is another world so dazzling in the dark deep sea...

Al did not know what gesture he made with those big mermaids.

As if specially prepared for wine, a big mermaid swims towards the bubble world in the distance. Soon there were waves of colorful cicada lights and star fish that separated the two sides.

It seems that a bright road has been built on the deep and hazy seabed.

The neat and orderly ‘street lights’ meandered and splendidly spread out another picture that He Jiu can't describe.

Zhan Baili followed He Jiu behind.

Seeing these mermaids desperately showing up in front of He Jiu, he didn't know whether everyone who recognized the guests would be treated like this.

I always feel that the little mermaid seems very exclusive.

But I listened very much to Mrs.'s words...

Zhan Baili could only follow He Jiu quietly, but he was confused and unable to make any effective judgments.

There are still wounds on the body, although those faint wounds have been stopped by the hemostatic agent...

But even though Al with a smile on his face, he dragged He Jiu around the entire kingdom that was so magnificent that he couldn't imagine...

But the inevitable weakness and pain after the advancement cannot disappear so quickly.

[Al, it's okay. It's beautiful here... shall we stop now? 】

While Al was swimming desperately, He Jiu couldn't bear to watch this stupid little mermaid abuse herself.

【liqueur? Isn't it pretty? 】

[It's pretty! But enough, you just walked out of the critical moment of advanced life and death. What you need is not to accompany me around but to rest on your own! Al... this world, this ocean is so big. You are the king of mermaid and will even become the overlord of the wider sea in the future! Where is the world you should conquer. Don't always look at me, I told you. I'm just a human being, a human who can't accompany you. And Al... maybe I was wrong. I should have told you plainly at the very beginning that I could not be your princess! I already have my current partner!

Sorry Al, I have always regarded you as a simple child subjectively! You are not a kid!

I'm wrong!

…

Simply wrong! I am sorry! 】

He Jiu stared at Al's eyes bitterly... This is the first time He Jiu has treated a strange animal baby so harshly.

He hadn't even reprimanded Green Spearhead so seriously when he was guilty of murderous violence.

But this time, He Jiu could no longer give this little mermaid a fantasy.

They are not of the same race, and he has his own life in the human world.

If he is a careless existence, in fact, staying in the sea all day watching this little fish screaming, there is nothing wrong with being shameless.

but…

Even if he didn't pretend to be the most in his heart, there is no place for his partner to love.

Al looked at He Jiu's expression blankly, and then slowly let go of the hand holding He Jiu.

[Wine...what... is your partner? 】

In fact, except for being stubborn and not like a kid, Al is actually just a kid no matter where he is.

He Jiu looked at those azure blue eyes and lost their luster.

My heart is also very uncomfortable.

But just because he loves Al, He Jiu must have a clean relationship with Al.

If Al can't give up on himself, then he can only choose to never see Al again...

[A partner is the only one in a person's life. It is different from love and many things. In short, it is a very special existence. I think for you mermaids, the meaning of the word partner must be very noble. 】

He Jiu did not go to appease Al.

[So what about wine? …Do you have the only one in your life? 】

Al dare not look at He Jiu's eyes.

It was so afraid that He Jiu told it that he already had the only one in his life.

[...I don't know if that person will be the only one in my life, but at least now he will not be replaced by anyone. 】

He Jiu was asked by Al.

Thinking of what Hu was best for him, He Jiu didn't know if he still wanted freedom?

Or maybe just make a living with the best of my life like this.

After coming back to life anyway, He Jiu really never thought that one day he would be where he is now.

Even when thinking back to the time when he signed the move-in agreement like an oolong.

The pen fell on the paper, dropping his name also changed his life from now on.

[Wine, can you accompany me again... watch the sunset again? 】

Al lowered his head and muttered with his mouth flat.

【…it is good】

He Jiu agreed.

Leaving the bottom of the sea, toward the hidden reef group before.

Al, who was swimming slowly, didn't take the initiative to pull He Jiu's hand this time.

And He Jiu did not take the initiative to touch Al.

One person, one fish heads out of the sea.

The splendid sea and refreshing breath immediately rushed to his face.

He Jiu slowly got rid of the heaviness of entering the water.

Stepping on the fine sand, the water has covered my thighs.

I found a reef and sat there breathing fresh air.

"Wow~"

Al flicked his tail lightly and sat beside He Jiu.

After catching a few fishes, Al knocked the still-live little white fish on a relatively flat reef.

He Jiu smiled at the fish and shook his head.

Then take out the lighter and some simple sauces that were prepared a long time ago.

It is the first time for Zhan Baili to sit with He Jiu in such an upright manner and watch the sunset.

Watching Zhan Baili take off his rigid military uniform for the first time, wearing a clean white shirt.

He Jiu smiled and teased, "I didn't expect you to have such a handsome and youthful side as Queen Zhan!"

Zhan Baili can't help but his heart beats faster...

It was rare to enjoy Zhan Baili's wine, so he lowered his head and took out his glasses frame on the bridge of his nose without rebutting.

"Wow! You still wear glasses at this time!"

He Jiu patted Zhan Baili on the back, and laughed heartlessly.

Ai Er saw He Jiu deliberately alienated him, although he was disappointed, he did not dare to be too intimate with He Jiu.

Watching the pink sunset glow as beautiful as the tail of a certain big mermaid.

Facing Al who seemed to have distanced himself from him consciously.

He Jiu simply thought that Al had finally listened to his advice and explanation.

Originally only booked the itinerary to return in two days.

Early on the third day, he took Luo Er and Zhan Baili and left Di Silian.

There are a lot of battles and questions waiting for what wine.

What wine, even worrying about raising a wound, when he disappeared on the shore of Dislion without looking back.

He Jiu didn't know, the attachments in Al's eyes were only deeper and more terrifying.

One flicked back into the deep sea, where the mermaids gathered.

The Bubble Kingdom, like a fairyland, is still so beautiful and eye-catching.

However, this kingdom was originally just for He Jiu to be watched by himself. The existence of people who didn't watch him seemed to have no meaning anymore.

'king! Where are you going? ! ’

Seeing Al, who was swimming towards the distance without looking back, the big mermaids immediately followed Al anxiously and shouted.

The beautiful singing voices one after another in the deep sea.

If it weren't for the rush of the singing, it might be more like a mermaid chorus.

‘I’m going to a wider sea! I want to become a stronger overlord! ’

Al left a string of fiercely sharp sounds, and shot it out like a sharp arrow under the sparkling sea...

The big mermaids tried hard to keep up with Al, but there were only a few mature and powerful mermaids who barely tried their best to get to Al.

Possess the ability of water on-demand by the source of life.

What kind of vortices and riots can Al stir up in the depths of the vast ocean?

No one can guess even Al himself.
