273. Chapter 273: Natasha Wants to Marry Su Chen

Upon hearing this, Aoweide's eyes held a trace of confusion.

"I can send my subordinates to pick you all up and take you to a relatively safe place. If you act carefully during the journey, you shouldn't be discovered by that devil."

Su Chen said slowly.

There were not many people left in the Mermaid Race; if they were to come over, covering their departure from the Western Wasteland would not be a major problem.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes carried a touch of determination.

"You have already sent Natasha back and given us so many things. If you send people over again and something goes wrong, we would die of guilt. Our Mermaid Race has always known how to repay kindness; we absolutely cannot push our luck."

Aoweide sighed, and a few crystalline tears shimmered in his eyes.

He had seen too much deceit and treachery. With the current strength of their Mermaid Race, they could not provide the slightest help to Su Chen; it could even be said to be a waste of effort.

"It's fine, this is what I should do."

Su Chen said with a smile, "Don't be so formal with me. To me, this is just a small favor, and that devil has committed many evils; he should have been eradicated long ago."

Su Chen smiled slightly. Regarding Aoweide's words, he felt not the slightest impatience and was very patient.

Aoweide's lips parted slightly; he wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he did not say it.

"Thank you."

After a long while, he said with a profound expression.

"With Natasha's current cultivation, trying to forcibly absorb the Universe Pearl will likely lead to a backlash, so the best method is for someone to assist from within."

Aoweide looked at the pearl in his hand and sighed slightly.

"Perhaps I can help, I just don't know how to do it."

Su Chen immediately patted his chest to guarantee it, his eyes filled with firm resolve.

"This old man has long seen the unique magnetic field between you two. This method can only be performed by those who trust each other. It must be done on the day of the wedding, engaging in the union of fish and water, using the man's Yang energy and the mermaid's supreme Yin energy to neutralize each other, thereby transforming the power of the Universe Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Aoweide said slowly.

Although they possessed human appearances, they were, after all, of the Mermaid Race. They considered such matters of reproduction and mating to be natural and proper, so he spoke of it without any reservations.

Once the words were out, the few young girls present could not help but blush. Natasha had not expected the patriarch to be so blunt, and she also pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head.

Su Chen never expected it to be this kind of method. For a moment, he felt somewhat embarrassed and subconsciously looked toward Natasha.

Feeling Su Chen's gaze, Natasha pursed her lips and smiled. Two blushes inadvertently appeared on her cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curling up gently.

How could Aoweide not understand such thoughts of a young girl?

"I am old, and the Mermaid Race is in this state now; one can only say we live one day at a time. It is a great fortune to see my granddaughter again. If I can see her entrusted to someone before I die, I can die without regrets."

Aoweide sighed deeply, his aged and gaunt face carrying a trace of relief.

The other merfolk also stared fixedly at the scene before them. They could feel Su Chen's friendliness toward them, and their hearts were filled with immense gratitude.

As food became increasingly scarce, they were barely eating one full meal a day. The things Su Chen sent were things they wouldn't have dared to even imagine before; even in their prime, it would have been impossible to bring out so much so casually.

At the back of the crowd, a blue-haired mermaid youth watched this scene quietly. His fists clenched tightly upon hearing Aoweide say he wanted Su Chen and Natasha to be together.

It was only because he was too thin and small that no one noticed his abnormality.

"I promise you, I will definitely take good care of Natasha." Su Chen nodded and said in a very serious tone.

"Good, good, good."

Aoweide nodded with gratification and turned his gaze to Natasha. He beckoned and said, "Good child, come here to your grandfather."

Natasha hesitated for a moment before coming before him.

Natasha squatted down, looking up at Aoweide. Her beautiful and sorrowful eyes were hung with a few crystalline teardrops, like the ocean weeping.

"Even if grandfather is not here in the future, you must live well."

Aoweide said with a smile, and as he spoke, a few teardrops could not help but well up in his eyes.

He fed the Universe Pearl to Natasha and hummed an ancient and mysterious incantation in the exclusive language of the Mermaid Race.

As the last syllable fell, a brilliant light erupted from Natasha's entire body.

When the light dissipated, the original mermaid tail was gone, replaced by a pair of slender, white legs, which glowed faintly from being soaked in water for so long.

Having human legs for the first time, Natasha was still somewhat unaccustomed to them. She stumbled a few times, trying to stand up, but failed several times.

Her golden curly hair was slightly wavy, revealing a sense of languor, and her bright, deep-as-the-sea eyes held a trace of bewilderment and helplessness.

Her petite nose and crimson lips were like an alluring red cherry, inviting a taste.

Su Chen quickly walked forward and helped Natasha up.

"Master..."

Natasha opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she spat out two words. Her voice was as melodious as a clear spring in the mountains; it was a natural sound that left one infatuated.

"I am here," Su Chen responded.

Her beautiful eyes gazed affectionately at Su Chen with a touch of novelty, and then she suddenly blossomed into a brilliant smile, like a crystalline sapphire, pure and bright.

"Grandfather."

Natasha cast her gaze toward Aoweide again. As she spoke, tears could not help but shimmer in her eyes.

Aoweide looked moved and responded with a sound.

Lv Luo watched this scene and couldn't help but redden her eyes, feeling it was very touching.

Luo Shen did not speak; she had been quiet from beginning to end. At this moment, there was no need for her to speak; she had always been silently accompanying them.

Xiaoxian was still young after all; seeing this scene, she was moved to tears, flying around the group incessantly, and Yi Zhuyue could not help but smile as well.

"Natasha only possesses a human body and the ability to speak for now. Her current strength is insufficient to fully transform the energy of the Universe Pearl; she can only utilize it for a short time."

Aoweide glanced at Natasha, couldn't help but stroke his beard, and continued: "Time is pressing, so let everything be simple. You two shall hold the wedding tomorrow. Transforming the Universe Pearl sooner will provide more power for self-preservation."

In the current situation, no one knew when danger would come; the best method was to make sufficient preparations as early as possible.

"Although time is pressing, what should be there cannot be missing. We will have it all arranged today; this can also be considered a way for us to repay our benefactor."

Aoweide looked at Su Chen, his body trembling slightly, a myriad of emotions surging in his heart for a moment. (End of chapter)
