The Mermaid King saw that my face looked a little ugly, so he quickly explained: "Brother Cheng, don't be angry, I have no other intentions."
"I just made a suggestion for your future safety. There are so many people in China. To be honest, their life and death have nothing to do with you."
"If you have any relatives and friends on the mainland, you can also take them over. Our Siren City can accommodate them."
I took a deep breath, looked at the Mermaid King and shook his head.
"Senior, thank you for your kindness, but if I do this, what will be the difference between me and those immortals who are selfish and only care about themselves?"
"Indeed, there are many sly and cunning people on that continent now, but more people still have good intentions and are looking forward to a better tomorrow. Like me, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we all have the same common heritage. How can I abandon their bloodline?"
I know that the Mermaid King obviously doesn't know about my relationship with Lonnie, so he made such a suggestion, but now the focus of the problem is no longer that simple.
It is said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility. Although my ability is not enough now, I have already shouldered the important responsibilities of the five inner and outer halls, the Yin and Yang Association, and the Immortal King. How could I just walk away?
When I asked back, the Mermaid King felt a little ashamed. He laughed at himself and bowed his hand to me.
"Brother Cheng has such an ambition. It's really admirable. I was stupid before, so I hope Brother Cheng won't take offense."
I also took advantage of the situation and said: "Senior, you are worrying too much. Cheng Yi knows that you are thinking about me. Your words were a bit conflicting just now. I hope you can forgive me, senior."
The Mermaid King laughed: "What are you talking about? Old man, I am not so petty. We are all friends..."
"Okay, you can have a good rest and I won't disturb you too much. When you are done resting, I will personally escort you out of the city."
After saying that, the Mermaid King handed over and left.
I stood at the door and saw a pretty figure walking towards the Mermaid King not far from the inn.
My pupils shrank, and I quickly recognized the figure. It was the mermaid princess Ah Jin.
Walking up to the Mermaid King, Ah Jin asked eagerly, while the Mermaid King smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Immediately, I saw Ah Jin running away without saying a word with tears in his eyes.
After seeing this scene, I completely understood what happened just now.
Needless to say, the Mermaid King came to her door in person just for the sake of his daughter.
Otherwise, given his status, he would not be so humble just to beg me to stay.
However, since I had made a decision, I naturally had no hesitation. I just looked at Ah Jin’s back and shook my head helplessly.
Miss Ajin, there is no fate between you and me, so you should forget about me as soon as possible.
After a while, Lonnie and the others had rested, and everyone packed up and prepared to leave Siren City.
The Mermaid King took Ah Jin and countless sea monsters to personally escort us out of the city.
After walking out of Siren City, we continued walking for dozens of miles. After crossing Bibo Lake, we came to the place where we fell before.
Looking up, I saw blue waves rippling in the sky, ripples rising and falling one after another. This is the boundary of this underwater space.
"After sending you thousands of miles away, we will eventually say goodbye. Senior, please come back."
I turned around and said to the Mermaid King.
The Mermaid King nodded: "Okay, I'll send you away now."
After saying that, the Mermaid King closed his eyes slightly and silently recited the spell in his mouth. With a flick of his finger, several streams of water shot out from the blue wave lake not far away.
When they flew above our heads, the water flow slowed down and began to change. Soon, several bubbles formed and fell in front of us.
"Everyone, this bubble will carry you to the surface of the sea, and then take you to the nearest channel. There are more than a dozen ferries passing there every day. You can choose the northwest ferry to reach the Chinese mainland."
I nodded and said: "Thank you, senior, we will see you later!"
After saying that, I took a step forward and got directly into the bubble in front of me. Lonnie and others also got into a bubble like me, each of them got into a bubble.
Immediately, the bubble carried us slowly into the air and flew towards the edge of the barrier.
After climbing less than five meters, Ah Jin suddenly ran over, looked up at me, and exhaled loudly.
"Brother Cheng Yi, can we meet again?"
I smiled and responded: "Yes, we will definitely have a chance to meet again."
I waved my arms towards Ah Jin and watched her figure getting smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing...
Soon, the bubbles passed through the barrier and entered the deep sea, and then continued to rise toward the sea surface.
I don’t know the specific location of Siren City, but I can be sure that this space is at least several thousand meters below the sea!
Looking around, the surroundings were dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. From time to time, a few fluorescent deep-sea creatures swam past the surroundings. This place was completely like a deep-sea environment.
We don’t know how the bubbles carrying us were made. In the deep sea with extremely high water pressure, the inside is still very full. Even the shape has not changed at all due to friction with the surrounding water flow.
As the bubbles continued to rise, the surrounding dark environment gradually became clearer, and the water turned blue. I could already see various deep-sea fish swimming in groups nearby.
It seems that we have escaped from the deep sea area and floated up to the shallow sea level.
During this period, the bubbles of Lonnie and I and others were always kept a few meters apart, neither far nor close. Everyone could see each other, but they could not talk and could only express through gestures.
I don’t know how long it took, but the top of my head became brighter and brighter, rays of light fell down, and the sea water in my sight became clearer.
Wow!
Finally, the bubbles burst out of the water, and the pressure that had been lingering around us disappeared, and we finally returned to the sea!
Looking around, the sky is high in the distance and the clouds are light, and the surroundings are blue. The sun is shining through the clouds, and the microwaves are floating in the golden patches, which makes people mesmerized.
I looked directly at the scorching sun in the sky, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and felt more relaxed than I had ever felt before.
Although you can breathe freely in Siren City, there is no sunlight there, and the sky above your head is always covered by blue-black sea water, giving people a sense of depression.
I haven't felt this lightness of being bathed in the sun for a long time.
Although the sea was calm at this time, a current formed under the bubble. Driven by the current, the bubble continued to move northwest.
Before setting off, the Mermaid King told me that there is an international waterway a hundred nautical miles away from the sea where we floated. The bubble will take us directly there, and then we can leave by ferry.
