Chapter 48: Mermaid YeYe Meets General Shen

Chapter 48: The Merman YeYe Meets General Shen

"Since you're so beautiful, I'll be gentle with you. All of you, attack! Capture him alive!"

Bai Yeye's fish tail began to emit a dazzling radiance. With a powerful flick, it stirred up a powerful gust, sending the poisoned soldiers crashing to the ground, even knocking the Emperor back into several rolls.

Bai Yeye held a long halberd and thrust it directly toward the Emperor's brow.

"Thud!" The halberd stabbed into a body, but not the Emperor's. The poisoned ones had formed a protective shield around the Emperor, preventing Bai Yeye from harming him.

At the same time, more footsteps echoed in the cave. Bai Yeye knew he would be entangled by more than just these people soon and didn't want to prolong the fight. He swung his halberd, slicing through the massive iron door like a piece of paper.

Bai Yeye took the chance to escape, but before leaving, he shot a furious glare at the Emperor over his shoulder.

He would definitely kill this man with his own hands!

"Chase him! Hurry!" The Emperor pounded the ground in rage, furious that such a beauty had escaped him.

Only then did the mysterious figure behind him step forward, looking down at the Emperor with contempt. If he wasn't desperately in need of a collaborator, he would never cooperate with such an incompetent and despicable person.

Once he found a stronger ally, this man would become his next experiment!

"Sir Shen, what have you come to consult about this time?"

Shen Cun had finished all the tasks assigned by Shen Yu and came to find the astrologer late at night. Originally, it was about his son's love life, but now the greater concern was the fate of the entire Lexus planet.

"I want to calculate whether there will be a war on the Lexus planet in the future."

The astrologer replied, "The Crown Prince has already had it calculated. There will be a war, and they will win. But as for the specifics—whether it will involve too many dangers—those are beyond what I can foresee."

Astrology can only give a rough idea; anyone who could predict everything would be a true immortal.

Hearing that, Shen Cun felt reassured.

"I also want to calculate about Shen Yu's marriage."

"Didn't you ask about this before? General Shen's future spouse will be a world-renowned beauty."

Shen Cun sighed helplessly. "I initially thought this world-renowned beauty was Bai Ruoshui, but now it clearly isn't."

The astrologer smiled. "The merfolk are all stunningly beautiful, but they dislike showing themselves. Perhaps another beauty will appear in the future and capture General Shen's heart."

"So he will only be with that one merman in his life?"

"Yes, only with that one merman."

Shen Cun rubbed his nose awkwardly, unsure whether to say that his precious son had fallen for a Samoyed.

"Sir Shen, if you have any doubts, feel free to speak. Astrology is meant to resolve perplexities."

Shen Cun didn't hesitate and braced himself. "But Shen Yu has fallen for a Samoyed, not a merman."

"A Samoyed?" The astrologer couldn't believe it.

"Yes, he truly has. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you."

The astrologer knew Shen Cun wasn't the type to fool around for no reason, so he took out his crystal ball again, placing both hands on it to divine.

Could he have miscalculated earlier? That didn't seem right to him.

After a moment, the astrologer opened his eyes with a troubled expression. "A very plump Samoyed?"

"Yes, exactly!"

"General Shen's future certainly involves a Samoyed. But maybe because General Shen is so unique, I see his future very blurry. But I can see traces of both a Samoyed and a merman."

"...Is that brat trying to have two partners?"

"What did you say? YeYe is missing? Why are you only telling me now!" Bai Ruoshui had just come out of the pharmacy, exhausted, but learning of Bai Yeye's disappearance made his heart clench as if gripped by a giant hand.

Gu Yuankai had searched for a whole day without finding him and returned to base to replenish his energy. Drenched in sweat, he said, "Prince Consort, we've sent many people to search. We'll find YeYe soon."

They hadn't deliberately kept it from Bai Ruoshui; it was just that with so many people already searching, one more person wouldn't help much, so it was better for him to focus on his research.

Bai Ruoshui had no time to argue. He went to a private space and used the mer clan's unique communication device to contact Bai Yeye.

Fortunately, he got through. Bai Ruoshui immediately said, "YeYe, tell your brother where you are!"

Bai Yeye's voice was weak. "I don't know where I am, brother. I feel terrible."

"What's wrong! Are you hurt!" Bai Ruoshui was on the verge of tears.

"Not hurt, and no one else is around... I just feel awful. Hot and a little breathless."

After escaping, Bai Yeye's body started acting strange. He couldn't make it back to the base and had to hide in a small cave.

Hearing this, Bai Ruoshui's hands began to tremble. "Could it be your heat period!"

"But haven't you already given me medicine?" Bai Yeye remembered experiencing it only once when he first came of age, but Yun Ningxin had quickly fed him suppressants. Every month since, she had given him medicine before his heat, ensuring it wouldn't torment him.

After coming here, Bai Ruoshui also gave him medicine, so he never expected this to happen.

Bai Ruoshui was frantic. "The bestialization agent has side effects for certain individuals! You might go through multiple heat periods in a short time. Don't be afraid, your brother is coming to find you now!"

He had thought Bai Yeye was immune to all poisons and that the bestialization agent wouldn't have side effects on him—he was wrong.

"Okay, I'm... someone's coming!" Bai Yeye heard footsteps and clutched the communication device nervously.

Bai Ruoshui urged, "YeYe! Press the teleport button immediately so I can be with you!"

Bai Yeye had hesitated to press it because the function could only be used once. Their habit was to save it for life-or-death moments.

"Let me see who it is first." Bai Yeye struggled to stand, supporting himself against the wall. If he could handle it himself, he would.

The weeds at the cave entrance were pushed aside, and a tall figure squeezed into the narrow space.

Just as Bai Ruoshui was about to panic, he heard Shen Yu's voice.

"It's you?"

Bai Yeye completely relaxed. Ignoring his current state, he collapsed weakly into Shen Yu's arms.

"Shen Yu, I feel awful." Bai Yeye's limpid eyes looked at him pitifully, instinctively seeking his comfort.
