Chapter 112

Sunset.

Merman Princess A-Xiang climbed onto a small coral reef.

The sea breeze gently brushed her long hair, and the waves gently patted her feet.

A-Xiang looked at the boundless ocean, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

It had been three days since escaping Mo Guang's cave dwelling, and the Merman girl had already swum hundreds of miles away with Zhang Xingyu.

Having reached this place, she was temporarily safe.

Beside her, a guy the size of a thumb raised his head and sang softly.

"When I was young, my mother told me, the ocean is my hometown. Born by the sea, growing up in the sea..."

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's singing, A-Xiang couldn't help but be amazed.

"Senior, what song are you singing? It's so beautiful," A-Xiang asked softly.

Zhang Xingyu rubbed his nose and said with feigned depth: "This is a song praising the ocean, called 'The Ocean is My Hometown'."

"'The Ocean is My Hometown'. Senior, can I sing it too?" A-Xiang asked, tilting her head.

"Of course you can sing it. Songs are meant to be sung. Try it now," Zhang Xingyu encouraged.

Hehe, Merman A-Xiang's version of "The Ocean is My Hometown".

I wonder if any merman will feel like missing the ocean when they hear this song again?

"When I was young, my mother told me, the ocean is my hometown. Born by the sea, growing up in the sea. The ocean..."

When Merman A-Xiang's singing started, Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

The singing was like a trickling stream, cleansing one's soul; the singing was like a ray of brilliant sunshine, illuminating one's heart; the singing was like a gentle spring breeze, brushing away one's sorrow.

Listening to the singing, Zhang Xingyu's thoughts drifted into the distance.

Mom and Dad, are you okay? Your son misses you.

The singing was crisp and pleasant, like heavenly music, lingering on the sea surface for a long time.

After the song ended, Princess A-Xiang asked loudly: "Senior, did I sing well?"

Zhang Xingyu was intoxicated by the singing and had not yet woken up.

Behind them, someone answered loudly: "Beautiful, too beautiful. The girl's singing is like jade nectar, leaving one with endless aftertaste."

The speaker was a youth of seventeen or eighteen years old.

His figure was slender, his skin fair, his face like jade, his eyes deep, and his whole body exuded elegance and nobility.

The youth came to Princess Yu Xiang, cupped his hands, and saluted: "I am Ao Bai, greetings to this young lady."

The moment she saw this youth, Princess Yu Xiang's face turned red.

She lowered her head and eyes, shyly returning the salute: "I am Yu Xiang, greetings to Young Master Ao."

After Princess Yu Xiang finished speaking, she raised her head and secretly sized up Ao Bai.

At this moment, Ao Bai also happened to look toward Princess Yu Xiang.

Their gazes met in the air, and after a moment, they gently separated.

At this very moment, both Ao Bai and Princess Yu Xiang's faces were as red as ripe persimmons.

Not long after Ao Bai's gaze left Princess Yu Xiang, he looked at her again.

At the same time, Princess Yu Xiang also looked toward Ao Bai again.

This time, their gazes met in the air and were like being glued together, never separating again.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the appearance of these two and thought to himself.

Is today the Qixi Valentine's Day?

How come I saw a love-at-first-sight scene as soon as I arrived at the reef.

I don't want to be a third wheel. Although Zhang Xingyu is only the size of a thumb now, when he glows, the brightness is at least over a thousand candelas.

Fortunately, Princess Yu Xiang and Ao Bai had electric sparks in their eyes and had no time to look at him at all.

He walked silently to the other end of the reef.

Zhang Xingyu was filled with sorrow.

Now he has become a little person.

If he cannot return to his original size, wouldn't he have to live in the shadow of giants forever?

No, he must find a way to get the divine object to restore his body.

On the small reef, one end was romantic and warm, and the other was gloomy and miserable.

The sun set and the moon rose, the ocean was gentle and quiet, and the sea surface was sparkling.

Suddenly, several Mojiao jumped out of the water from under the sea.

The leading Mojiao quickly turned into the appearance of a dragon-headed human.

Zhang Xingyu recognized this Mojiao; this guy was none other than the Mojiao tribe prince, Mo Guang.

"Little merman, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you won't escape the palm of this prince's hand," Mo Guang shouted at the Merman princess on the reef.

In an instant, the romance and warmth on the reef were broken by this shout.

A-Xiang raised her head, saw Mo Guang standing on the water, and was terrified.

Ao Bai looked at Mo Guang who was shouting and frowned.

"Who are you, why are you shouting here?" Ao Bai pointed at Mo Guang and asked sternly.

Seeing Ao Bai, Mo Guang was furious.

"I was wondering who it was, so it's a pretty boy. Daring to compete with me, Mo Guang, for a beauty, you're tired of living, pretty boy."

Mo Guang brandished a black fork, stirred up monstrous waves, and attacked Ao Bai.

This black fork was refined by Ao Guang using his own horn, and it was powerful.

Mo Guang believed that with just one strike, he could pierce this hateful pretty boy into a meat skewer.

The waves were like mountains, and the black fork was like lightning.

Seeing that the black fork was about to pierce Ao Bai's body, Ao Bai stretched out two fingers.

"Stop."

The black fork stopped in mid-air.

"Fall."

The wave returned to the ocean.

Mo Guang was shocked and fell into the sea with a "plop".

Emerging from the sea again, Mo Guang was stunned for a long time before asking loudly: "Who are you?"

Ao Bai did not answer.

"Get lost," he said to Mo Guang in a low voice.

"Who exactly are you?" Mo Guang asked again.

"Get lost quickly," Ao Bai shouted at Mo Guang again.

Mo Guang's face was livid.

He shouted to the several Mojiao behind him: "Attack together, kill him for me."

The several Mojiao took the order and rushed up brandishing their weapons.

"Courting death." Ao Bai snorted coldly and took out a crystal-clear long sword from the ring in his hand.

He stepped onto the sea surface and carried the long sword to meet them.

One step, one dragon killed.

In an instant, the several aggressive Mojiao were lying dead on the spot.

Zhang Xingyu watched with boiling blood.

This Ao Bai, his strength is so strong.

Princess Yu Xiang's eyes were shining with stars.

Young Master Ao Bai is truly brave.

Mo Guang had one of his arms cut off.

Seeing that the situation was bad, he turned and ran, running dozens of feet away in an instant.

"Pretty boy, you wait, our Mojiao tribe will not let you go."

Mo Guang's voice came from afar.

Ao Bai smiled and did not chase.

He put away his long sword and came to Yu Xiang, who was already frightened.

"Young Master, why not chase?" Princess Yu Xiang asked Ao Bai.

Ao Bai said softly: "This person is, after all, of my dragon lineage. Since he runs fast, I will spare his life for now. Breaking his arm today can be considered a lesson for him."

Behind him, Zhang Xingyu's mind was racing.

This Ao Bai is of the dragon race, and the Ao Qing he met before was also of the dragon race. I don't know if everyone in the dragon race is surnamed Ao, and I don't know if this Ao Bai and Ao Qing are relatives.

Seeing Princess Yu Xiang's eyes becoming shy and Ao Bai's eyes becoming affectionate, Zhang Xingyu could no longer care about his glorious image.

"Ahem, you two, there's still a single dog here?" Zhang Xingyu said loudly.

Princess Yu Xiang immediately blushed.

Ao Bai looked at Zhang Xingyu and cupped his hands: "May I ask..."

Zhang Xingyu also cupped his hands in return.

"Brother Ao, my name is Hai Zhongqing. I am Princess Yu Xiang's companion, and can be considered the Princess's family," Zhang Xingyu said.

At this time, Princess Yu Xiang quickly explained Zhang Xingyu's identity to Ao Bai.

"Young Master Ao, Senior Hai is my savior; it was he who found a way to save me from Mojiao Island. Senior had a mishap while cultivating his technique, and is temporarily only the size of a thumb," Princess Yu Xiang said.

After a pause, she asked again: "Young Master Ao, you have great divine powers, please think of a way to restore Senior."

Hearing this, Ao Bai patted his chest heavily: "Princess, don't worry. This matter is on me. Since Senior Hai is your savior, I will definitely find a way to cure him."
