Chapter 229: The Mermaid Prince's Confession

Seeing his kindness, Luo Ying could not bear to refuse and nodded gently. Jiao Chengxuan looked at Luo Ying with a smile and said in a very gentle voice: "Then I will take you around, which will help you recover from your injuries."

They walked side by side, strolling together in the beautiful and dreamlike underwater world in the mermaid area. Jiao Chengxuan took Luo Ying to the mermaid market. The streets were full of handsome men and beautiful women, their faces were like elves in the ocean, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off them. Luo Ying couldn't help but be attracted by the scene in front of him, and finally couldn't help but exclaimed, and asked curiously: "Are all mermaids so good-looking?"

There was a hint of surprise in Jiao Chengxuan's eyes. He carefully looked at Luo Ying in front of him and said slowly: "It seems that you are not a woman from our mermaid tribe. You just look similar to us."

Luo Ying finally woke up from her dream and realized that she had accidentally revealed the secret. She was speechless and tried to explain hesitantly: "That... I..."

Seeing her so nervous, Jiao Chengxuan felt tenderness in his heart. He gazed at Luo Ying affectionately, gently held her hand, and said in a gentle but firm voice, "It's okay, don't be so nervous, I don't care whether you are a mermaid or not."

Feeling Jiao Chengxuan's fiery gaze, Luo Ying's cheeks flushed slightly. She hurriedly lowered her head and tried to break free from his hand, but Jiao Chengxuan held it tightly and was unwilling to let go. Luo Ying was flustered and at a loss, she tried to shake his hand off.

Jiao Chengxuan looked at his empty palm, feeling somewhat disappointed. They continued to walk side by side, and everyone in the market was looking at them and talking about them.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is so handsome!"

"Who is the woman next to His Royal Highness?"

"Could it be the Crown Prince's fiancée?"

"Look at the way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at her. She is definitely the future Crown Princess!"

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been attracted to any woman!"

When Jiao Chengxuan heard these words, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly rise, his eyes overflowing with deep affection for Luo Ying. He stared at Luo Ying, and that love seemed to be able to melt her. Luo Ying felt his burning gaze, and her cheeks instantly turned red, almost spreading to her ears. In order to ease the sudden embarrassment, she hurriedly changed the subject, trying to break the awkward atmosphere and asked: "Why are their scales different from yours?"

Jiao Chengxuan gazed at Luo Ying affectionately, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said very gently: "We mermaids, also known as Lingyu, are one of the strange beasts among the ancient aquatic creatures. We hide in the dark sea of ​​the abyss and practice silently. After five hundred years of baptism, female mermaids can obtain jade-like scales; and after five hundred years of precipitation, male mermaids can have indestructible black armor to protect their bodies. After three thousand years of practice, we can transform into colorful bodies."

He paused for a moment, his eyes becoming more profound. "Our scales are as hard as knives, able to penetrate gold and split stone. If they were transformed into armor, they could withstand all sharp weapons in the world. With a swing of our tails, we can dig channels and break water, and our bodies can instantly cross a distance of a hundred miles. And when we open our mouths and make sounds, the sound is enough to confuse people's nerves and make people intoxicated. In addition, our scales can be used to weave cloth and textiles, making them into thin silk that is as light as gauze, which is both waterproof and fireproof."

He gazed at Luo Ying affectionately, oblivious to the people around him. He took a deep breath, and there was a barely perceptible sadness in his voice: "We mermaids will only fall deeply in love with one person in our lifetime. If we cannot get this love, our tears will condense into pearls, which represent the endless sorrow and longing in our hearts. And when all our tears condense into pearls, that will be the moment when our lives end."

The moment Luo Ying heard the last sentence, she raised her head abruptly, her eyes full of shock. She stared at Jiao Chengxuan, her voice trembling slightly: "Are all you mermaids so infatuated?"

Jiao Chengxuan looked at Luo Ying affectionately. He gently put his arm around her waist and gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. He said to her affectionately, "Yes! If we mermaids fall in love with someone, we will never change until we die of tears."

Luo Ying was shocked by this sudden confession. She tried to escape from the burning gaze in panic: "Um...what...let's go to the front and take a look."

She hurriedly broke free from Jiao Chengxuan's arms and swam forward quickly, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart.

Jiao Chengxuan felt Luo Ying's deliberate avoidance and felt extremely disappointed.

In order to make Luo Ying happy, he specially ordered people to carefully plan a palace banquet just to win Luo Ying's favor.

He held Luo Ying's hand and sat side by side at the table. Luo Ying's eyes were full of surprise, as if she was a little unprepared for this sudden palace banquet. Jiao Chengxuan saw this, but his heart was warm. He smiled gently at Luo Ying, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, and whispered: "I specially prepared a surprise for you."

Luo Ying showed a trace of confusion on her face, and she asked softly: "Surprise?"

He stretched out his hands and clapped them lightly in the air, as if striking invisible notes, and the music began to play. A group of mermaid beauties, wearing veils and their faces hidden under the gauze, danced lightly to the rhythm of the music, like water elves. Their dancing was graceful and elegant, as if they had integrated all the beauty in the world into it. Luo Ying was deeply shocked by this scene. She looked at Jiao Chengxuan with admiration in her eyes that could not be concealed: "Wow! What a beautiful dance!"

Jiao Chengxuan leaned close to her face, his eyes were like torches, staring deeply into Luo Ying's eyes. He gently lifted her chin, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "If you stay and become my Crown Princess, I will prepare different surprises for you every day."

However, a trace of fear appeared on Luo Ying's face. She quickly pushed Jiao Chengxuan's hand away, turned her head, and said in a trembling voice: "It's impossible for us to be together. Don't waste your time on me."

When Jiao Chengxuan heard Luo Ying's answer, his heart was cut mercilessly by a sharp blade. He held her arms tightly, his voice full of despair and pain: "Why is it impossible? God sent you to the door of my bedroom and let me fall in love with you, why can't you love me?"

Luo Ying looked at his desperate and painful expression, and her heart was filled with pity. She tried to ease his pain and gently soothed his emotions: "You mermaids have so many beauties, and you are the crown prince. They all hope to become your crown princess. Why did you have to choose me?"

Jiao Chengxuan shook his head painfully, his eyes full of loss, and his voice was filled with deep despair, he said hoarsely: "It's different, I have faced them every day for thousands of years, and none of them can make my heart move, only you. That day you fainted at the door of my bedroom, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, and I knew you were the one I had been waiting for, and I would not marry anyone else in this life."

Luo Ying looked at him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, she answered seriously: "It's really impossible for us. I am from the heavens, I am the heavens marshal, I came here to carry out a mission, before I was seriously injured and fell into a coma, I used the space transfer technique, and I accidentally entered the door of your bedroom. Thank you for your kindness! It is impossible for me to stay in the deep sea for a long time."

Hearing these words, Jiao Chengxuan seemed to be struck by an invisible lightning. He stood still for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief and deep loss.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace. Ao Linghao, the third prince of the Dragon King, led a group of people and rushed into the palace. The beauties who were dancing in the palace were frightened by the sudden change and fled in all directions. Ao Linghao's eyes were instantly locked on Luo Ying, his eyes flashed with a scorching light, and he shouted in a loud voice: "You are here." After that, he rushed towards Luo Ying without hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiao Chengxuan grabbed Luo Ying tightly and quickly protected her behind him. His face was stern, and his voice was full of unquestionable firmness and majesty. He shouted angrily: "She is my Crown Princess, don't even think about touching her."

Ao Linghao was stunned for a moment by Jiao Chengxuan's angry rebuke, but then he regained his arrogant and arrogant attitude. He shouted loudly: "She is the one I like. I must take her back today."

Jiao Chengxuan turned to look at Luo Ying, her eyes were full of fear and anxiety. He gently comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let him take you away. You wait for a while, I'll go fight him."

After saying that, Jiao Chengxuan stretched out his hand, a cold light flashed, and an exquisite and extremely powerful trident appeared in his hand. Ao Linghao stretched out his hand and took out the dragon scale sword. The two men fought from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea. In the magnificent sea, Jiao Chengxuan and Ao Linghao launched a thrilling battle.

The figures of the two men fluttered in the waves, the shadows of the halberds flashed, and every confrontation sparked dazzling sparks, as if the entire ocean was on fire.

Jiao Chengxuan's trident gleamed coldly in the sun, and every swing was as powerful as thunder. Ao Linghao held the dragon-scale sword, with a nimble figure and agile swordsmanship. The battle between the two was extremely fierce, as if it was going to overturn the entire sea. The waves surged around them, and the sea breeze blew past. The battle between the two had lasted for several hours, but it was still difficult to determine the winner.

In Hua Yuchen's military camp, Hua Yuchen was pacing back and forth anxiously in the tent. At this moment, General You appeared at the door of the tent. He walked hurriedly with a serious expression.

Hua Yuchen immediately stepped forward, his eyes full of anticipation and eagerness: "Have you found them?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

General You shook his head, a trace of helplessness and self-blame flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, we have arranged thousands of people to search, but there is still no news."

Upon hearing the news, Hua Yuchen's anger was instantly ignited. He slammed the table angrily: "Thousands of people have been searching for so many days, but there is not even a clue! What are you doing?" His voice shook the entire tent like thunder.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in with a hint of excitement on his face: "Your Highness, there are unusual movements on the surface of the North Sea!"

Upon hearing the news, Hua Yuchen's eyes instantly flashed with a glimmer of hope, and he excitedly said to General You: "Quick, immediately arrange a team of people to go to Beihai to check the situation!"

General You immediately clasped his hands together and bowed, and replied respectfully: "I obey your command!"

However, just as General You was about to leave the tent, Hua Yuchen suddenly called out to him: "Wait a minute!" He took a deep breath and said anxiously: "I'd better go with you in person."
