Chapter 41

Face-Slapping the White Lotus Merman (1)

Editor: ghost

Zhou Xu once again entered the vast space. It still remained the same as compared to the previous two times he had entered and a shadow flitted by again. Only this time, Zhou Xu could confirm that the shadow seemed a bit familiar but he could not think of who it could be.

In the present, in a certain ward on the Noah Star, the highest ranked admiral finally opened his eyes.

The admiral’s gaze was always gentle, yet now that gentleness was nowhere to be seen. He thought that he had died and would never be able to see Zhou Xu anymore, but it was as if heaven was playing pranks on him. He seemed to have transmigrated into many worlds and in a few worlds, he finally met Zhou Xu. It was the Zhou Xu that he had always liked since they were young.

He clenched his fist with as much strength as he could muster. He must bring back Zhou Xu.

He wanted to move his body, but fatigue overcame him and his consciousness went dim.

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Xu found himself standing in front of an enormous clam shell.

His pinky tingled and Zhou Xu received this world’s information.

This was a world that had mermen and Zhou Xu was the son of the Dragon King in charge of managing the south seas.

At the same time, this world was a BL world; women barely had any involvement. The protagonist was naturally a merman.

The merman was called An Si. He was beautiful, delicate, kind-hearted and pure; he stole Zhou Xu’s revival pill to save a human he liked, Zhao Shuxuan.

After Zhao Shuxuan came back to life, the human world experienced a drought. To save the world, the merman An Si tampered with the spirit turtle’s Thousand Year Chi jade, but because he did not know how to utilize it, the world experienced a flood after the drought.

After An Si knew about the world’s disaster, he cried with grief. He had thought it was all right and never expected that he would cause such a calamity. The spirit turtle took pity on him and out of benevolence, the spirit turtle forgave him and borrowed Zhao Shuxuan’s name to resolve the world’s crisis.

Afterwards, the male lead Zhao Shuxuan was being pursued by killers. An Si obtained the spirit shark’s tooth; this tooth was an amazing weapon in the human world. Thus Zhao Shuxuan successfully escaped his pursuers.

An Si found out that the spirit shark spent every day in pain after losing its canine tooth. He cried and begged in front of it for forgiveness. An Si had mistakenly thought that the canine tooth displayed in his house was just an ornament. In the end, the spirit shark who had requested the tooth back then had no choice but to drop the matter.

Later, Zhao Shuxuan and An Si got together. The two of them then found Ke Yuanlin, an important general who had been demoted and sent away. Under Ke Yuanlin’s guidance, they overturned the imperial court and Zhao Shuxuan became emperor.

On the day of Zhao Shuxuan’s ascension to the throne, An Si was captured by Zhou Xu because An Si had stolen his youth pill to give to Zhao Shuxuan as a celebratory gift, wanting his lover to live forever and never grow old.

However, Zhao Shuxuan mistakenly believed Zhou Xu liked An Si, thus sought help from Ke Yuanlin. As a result, he found out that Ke Yuanlin was not some general, but shockingly, the Devil King Ming Chi.

To save An Si, Zhao Shuxuan was willing to exchange half of his lifespan. Ming Chi was moved by him and went to the south sea to take Zhou Xu’s life. Furthermore, because he was the son of the dragon king, Zhou Xu’s flesh and blood had life-prolonging effects. Hence after his death, Zhao Shuxuan cut up his corpse to eat.

Afterwards the Devil King appeared, demanding Zhao Shuxuan fulfill his promise. An Si felt extremely touched after hearing the whole story and said that he was willing to exchange his death for Zhao Shuxuan’s lifespan.

In the end, seeing the two wailing pitifully, the Devil King was disinclined to fuss over this matter and let them off, allowing them to pass their days comfortably.

Zhou Xu finished receiving the information and let out a cold laugh. This was too ridiculous. Wasn’t this “kind-hearted” protagonist just a thief? His “delicateness” was just crying pitifully whenever something happened and every mistake he made could be cancelled out by the reason that his original intentions were good. It was truly ridiculous.

Yes, he fancied Zhao Shuxuan and wanted to save him. This was not wrong, but the fact was that he stole Zhou Xu’s revival pill even if this pill did not matter much to Zhou Xu.

Yes, he saw that the human world was experiencing a drought and wanted to help the people. This was not wrong, but it was again fact that he stole the spirit turtle’s Thousand Year Chi.

There was still the spirit shark’s canine tooth and the south sea’s youth pill that he also stole.

He was praised as kind-hearted, but not one person cared about his methods.

As for Zhao Shuxuan, what did he even do?

The one who wanted to save the people was An Si and the one who lead soldiers to fight and overturn the oppressive imperial court was Ming Chi; was he not merely a lucky fellow surrounded by halos of light?

If these halos were gone, what important person could he be?

In any case, Zhou Xu did not believe this kind of person could accomplish anything. Zhou Xu wanted to let them know that if their opponent was him, whether it was An Si or Zhao Shuxuan, their ending would be tragic.

At present he looked at the enormous clam shell in front of him and smiled evilly. He thought to himself, “Since you have stolen my possession, then it is perfectly justified if I return the favor.”

Familiarising himself with the body of the Dragon King’s son, Zhou Xu transformed into the awe-inspiring ruler of the south seas.

Changing into the form of a large dragon, Zhou Xu left the Dragon King’s palace. The calm south seas rose with enormous waves. The mermen by the beach started to shiver in fear.

The large waves slowly subsided and a large dragon transformed into a person above the waters.

The person wore azure robes and overlooked the surface below him like a deity.

“An Si, you stole my revival pill?”

An Si shivered. He knew that this Dragon King’s son never had a good temper and had always seemed to dislike him.

“I was wrong. I wanted to save him because I found him pitiful. Please, Second Prince, spare him a glance. I don’t have any bad intentions, I just wanted to save someone….”

An Si was anxious. His eyes started to redden; his delicate and charming appearance would cause an unknowing passerby to assume that Zhou Xu was bullying him.

Zhou Xu noticed that An Si was indeed too beautiful. Yes, beautiful.

Snow-like smooth skin, arched eyebrows, almond eyes and cherry lips. His manner was also feminine; slender and graceful, his actions and speech all carried a natural-born tenderness.

“Second prince, take a look at him. You don’t have even a bit of sympathy for him?”

Hehe, you stole something from me but when I ask for it back, I’m unreasonable? The person lying dead on the floor has absolutely nothing to do with me; if I don’t save him, then I’m cruel and merciless, without even a bit of sympathy?

Zhou Xu coldly laughed. He really had no sympathy for the person lying on the floor.

“An Si, I’ll give you three seconds. Return the revival pill to me. Otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite.’ Zhou Xu’s voice seemed particularly chilly as it resounded in the vast open space. His arrogant bearing made An Si tremble again.

“Second prince, I’m begging you, please…”

“An Si, let me ask you: if this person looked like this, would you still save him?” Zhou Xu casually waved his hand. The handsome man lying on the ground became ugly, pockmarks covering his face and with a bulky build.

“Furthermore, he has already died. Arbitrarily altering a mortal’s lifespan will bring down calamity from the heavens. It can’t be that you didn’t know?” Zhou Xu questioned him sternly.

An Si could no longer say anything. The ugly man in front of him shocked him too much. The originally fair and rosy complexion became like white paper, without a hint of blood.

“Return the revival pill to me.” Zhou Xu’s voice became even colder.

After An Si regained his calm, he sat upright, puffed his chest and said as if he was a martyr, “No, Second Prince. It doesn’t matter that you have no sympathy because I do.”

An Si quickly fed the revival pill in his hands to the person lying on the ground. Zhou Xu naturally knew that the pill would dissolve the moment it entered someone’s mouth, hence he didn’t try to snatch it again. He coldly spat out, “An Si, you think I can’t kill him after you’ve saved him?”

Zhou Xu did not wait for An Si to react. Huge waves surged on the sea’s surface. In its midst was a shining column of water. An Si knew that this was the second prince’s commonly-used move; not even he could survive it, much less a mortal human.

Hurriedly kneeling, An Si begged persistently but Zhou Xu did not listen. The column of water approached the two. Zhou Xu coldly laughed, “Since this is the case, then go and die together.”

The water column suddenly became two times thicker. Millions of sharp blades spun and quivered within the water column, making it seem like a swimming dragon, terrifying people with its imposing manner

In an instant, An Si was unable to do anything, only tightly hugging himself.

Pain swallowed his body and energy. It was like being gnawed on by thousands of ants; the pain intensified bit by bit as it penetrated through skin and bone. An Si’s senses only perceived pain.

Before he lost consciousness, An Si only saw Zhou Xu’s dignified facial features. Zhou Xu was like a forever-insurmountable high mountain – distant, but made people yearn for it and at the same time, fear; no one knew how many ferocious beasts were prowling.

The water column fell. Zhou Xu swayed and his hand ached a bit because of him using his spiritual energy.

Slowly flying to the two unconscious people, Zhou Xu felt their pulse. Good; the dead one came back to life and the live one was on the verge of death.

Zhou Xu did not kill the two. They were the protagonists of this world; if they were killed by Zhou Xu, the world may collapse. The two could die, but not at the moment because they have not tasted the feeling of being crushed. “Dying at the start,” Zhou Xu thought, “then what meaning is there in transmigrating over?”

Moreover, Zhou Xu wanted to ascertain something – would a certain someone with a red mole follow him?

Zhou Xu got his shrimp soldiers and crab generals to drag An Si into the deep sea prison and send the revived person – the male lead Zhao Shuxuan – to a coastal village. Zhou Xu smiled slightly. He needed to think of how to find that person; he could not ask someone to take off their pants at their first meeting.

Zhou Xu’s azure silhouette slowly drifted down and returned to the Dragon King’s Palace. The ocean’s surface regained its calm as if nothing had happened.

Above the sea, a man clad in black appeared, followed by a charming lady.

“Who was that just now?”

“Peeping for half a day and you still do not know who is he?”

“Who?”

“An Si, the number one beauty of the southern ocean. Rumors have it that his heart is very pure and there is a long line of pursuers after him. Seems like you will never get your turn, ha ha ha…”

“Shut up. I’m asking about the one who hit them.”

“Him? The south oceans’ Second Prince Zhou Xu. He currently controls everything in the southern ocean. It can’t be that you fancy him? Fuck, Your Excellency the Devil King, what kind of taste do you have? Isn’t An Si prettier and cuter? Although the second prince is indeed good-looking, do you think you can overpower him?”

“Shut up.”
