    Chapter 87: The Merman Lands

    A friend of a Merman? Song Qiuyi immediately thought of the time Yan Ye requested to return to the deep sea when he was captured last time. He slightly furrowed his brows, “Is it dangerous?” Will you come back if you go?

    Yan Ye closed his eyes and felt Chris’s aura, “It’s not dangerous for me, but it’s very dangerous for her.” Chris’s aura was slowly weakening.

    If this Chris suddenly died, his mission in this world would also fail.

    Song Qiuyi looked out at the sea. He knew he couldn’t stop the Merman’s decision to save his friend. “Then you have to promise me, come back immediately after you save them.”

    “Okay, I promise you.” After Yan Ye finished speaking, he jumped into the sea. Song Qiuyi watched that hint of black disappear on the surface of the sea. Although his face was calm, his heart couldn’t settle for a long time.

    From the moment Yan Ye disappeared, Song Qiuyi stood still in the same spot.

    In the deep sea, Yan Ye swam deeper and deeper following that hint of Chris’s aura. The light around him gradually dimmed, and even the creatures in the ocean became fewer and fewer. The icy water became increasingly cold and bone-chilling.

    Chris was lying in a pile of sand. Half of her tail was buried in the sand, and her life was constantly draining away. Her face was pale, and the scales on her body had become dull and lifeless.

    Seeing this, Yan Ye rushed to her side, reached out and pulled her out of the sand. It seemed she couldn’t be woken up anytime soon, so Yan Ye simply didn’t try to wake her and directly took Chris and swam upwards.

    Chris’s wound was still bleeding. The scent of blood attracted nearby fish, and a shark about three meters long came sniffing the blood. As soon as its wide mouth opened, wanting to bite Chris’s fishtail, a black fishtail fiercely whipped towards it.

    Yan Ye’s whip left a long scar on the shark’s eye. The shark was stunned for a moment by the whipping. When it discovered there was a very healthy Merman next to its prey, it turned its head and swam away, without any hesitation.

    To other creatures in the ocean, Merman creatures are ferocious beasts, beings that should not be easily provoked.

    Song Qiuyi was still waiting for him. Yan Ye didn’t chase the shark but continued to take Chris upwards.

    A patch of shadow gradually appeared on the not-so-calm sea surface. Song Qiuyi stared at the patch of shadow, his throat unconsciously making a swallowing motion.

    A powerful black fishtail leaped out of the sea surface, shimmering in the sunlight, making it hard to look away.

    It jumped onto the deck and said gently to the stunned young man, “I’m back. This is my friend.”

    Song Qiuyi came back to his senses and also saw the Merman Yan Ye brought back. This Merman was injured, and it was very serious. He could tell at a glance that the Merman’s injury was caused by humans.

    Song Qiuyi squatted down to look at the wound on Chris’s tail. His voice was light, with no emotional fluctuation, “She’s dying.”

    Yan Ye nodded. If she wasn’t saved soon, she would die.

    Song Qiuyi’s eyes flickered, “Can I dissect her?”

    Yan Ye was inspecting Chris’s wound. His blood-stained fingers paused. “Don’t you already have one Merman from me? Isn’t my dissection enough for you?”

    Song Qiuyi pursed his lips and didn’t speak. Now, he was unwilling to dissect Yan Ye for experiments.

    If there were other Mermen, why would he dissect Yan Ye?

    But this was Yan Ye’s friend. Song Qiuyi had reservations in his heart and temporarily suppressed the idea of dissecting this Merman. The hand in his pocket quietly put down the scalpel.

    Yan Ye seemed to see through Song Qiuyi’s little thoughts but didn’t expose them. He changed the way he tried to convince Song Qiuyi, “If you ever want to dissect a Merman, that Merman can only be me. If I find out you secretly dissected other Mermen for experiments, then I will return to the ocean and never see you again.”

    Based on Song Qiuyi’s current possessiveness towards him and their ambiguous relationship, Yan Ye was confident he could make him abandon the idea of dissecting other Mermen.

    Song Qiuyi looked up in shock, his eyes darting around. Hearing the words “never see you again”, he almost took out the scalpel from his pocket and held it to the other person’s neck to ask, “Do you dare never see me again?”

    Little did he know that these four words were the biggest threat Song Qiuyi had ever encountered in his life.

    “I won’t dissect her,” Song Qiuyi said coldly, leaving his back turned to Yan Ye.

    Yan Ye remembered that Song Qiuyi always had some strange medicines. Perhaps there was medicine that could treat Chris. He took Chris into the laboratory. Chris’s condition was not suitable for putting her in a water tank yet; they had to stop the bleeding on her tail first.

    As soon as he entered the laboratory, Yan Ye saw Song Qiuyi there. He was holding something that looked like a potion. Seeing Yan Ye come in, he didn’t show surprise and asked, “Do you want me to help you save her?”

    Yan Ye placed Chris on the laboratory table. He intended to have Song Qiuyi save her, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought her into the laboratory. “Yes, feel free to name your conditions.”

    Song Qiuyi didn’t harbor any goodwill towards unfamiliar Mermen, let alone a Merman he couldn’t dissect and research. He calmly lowered his eyes and said, “I’ll save your friend, and you agree to one condition.”

    Yan Ye agreed without hesitation, “Okay, no problem.”

    Only then did Song Qiuyi raise his eyes and walk towards the laboratory table. He put on sterilized gloves and took out a series of tools, pliers, and scalpels. He seriously lowered his eyes and treated the Merman’s wound.

    Yan Ye watched from the side, not making a sound to disturb him. On the contrary, Song Qiuyi had time to talk to Yan Ye while working.

    “Are you two really just friends?”

    Yan Ye replied, “Just friends.”

    Song Qiuyi was clearly not convinced, “You care about her a lot.”

    He could tell that Yan Ye’s face was clearly anxious when he said his friend was in trouble and he had to go save her.

    Would someone be this anxious just for a friend?

    Song Qiuyi, who had no friends, didn’t understand this emotion and just felt uncomfortable in his heart.

    Yan Ye raised his eyelids slightly, “I care about you more.”

    Song Qiuyi’s fingers trembled, and the scalpel almost fell to the ground. Yan Ye quickly caught it for him, “Be careful.”

    Song Qiuyi’s pupils suddenly constricted. He pretended nothing had happened and took back the scalpel, his lips slightly curved. Thinking about Yan Ye’s words just now, a strange emotion spread through his heart.

    Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yan Ye also quietly continued waiting beside him.

    After treating Chris’s wound, Song Qiuyi took off his blood-stained gloves and brought over two bottles of potion. One was for sprinkling on the wound, and the other was for Chris to drink.

    After these two bottles of potion were used, Chris’s complexion slowly improved, and her dull scales also gained a trace of luster, proving that she was self-healing, and the recovery speed was very fast, a speed that humans could not achieve.

    Song Qiuyi became interested. Although he couldn’t dissect this Merman, he could observe other things, such as the Merman’s self-healing ability.
