Chapter 174 Calculation
Just as he said this, the young mermaid came in, but the next moment he was bounced away by the attacks from the restrictions and then hit heavily against the stone wall behind him.
Meng Chun turned around in surprise, just in time to see the young man suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and look at him weakly.
Those eyes seemed to have some kind of power to control the mind and soul, making Meng Chun unable to help but feel a little pity for him.
For a moment, he couldn't take his eyes off the boy. The longer he looked at the boy, the stronger the pity Meng Chun felt in his heart, and he even suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
"Chun'er?"
Dizha's usual cold voice suddenly appeared, and in just a moment, it brought Meng Chun back to his senses, who was almost lost in confusion.
"I'm fine." Meng Chun turned around, but didn't dare to look into the eyes of the mermaid boy again.
Dizha took the person into his arms, his eyes fell on the mermaid boy, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
However, the latter just raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave her a harmless smile.
But the next moment, Dizha grabbed his neck from a distance. The mermaid boy had difficulty breathing and his face turned red, but he still stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.
Meng Chun felt sorry for Di Zha when he saw this. He reached out and grabbed Di Zha's sleeve, saying softly, "Senior, please forgive him. He has never really hurt me."
Emperor Qi frowned slightly and looked at Meng Chun with complex emotions in his eyes, including displeasure at his concern for others and helplessness at his kindness.
After hesitating for a moment, Dizaka let go of his hand, and the mermaid boy collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Emperor Qian said coldly, "Today, in consideration of Chun'er's plea, I will spare your life for now. If you offend me again, I will not forgive you."
The young merman raised his eyes, looked directly into Dizha's, and spoke slowly, "I, I mean no harm. My tribe is in great trouble, and only a contract with this child of destiny can save us. That's why I had no choice but to do this."
Hearing his words, Meng Chun said in a calm and displeased voice, "I said I won't make a contract with you. Besides, I've already promised you that I'll get the Orb of Fortune in exchange, so I won't break my promise."
However, the young mermaid just looked up at him, with the corners of his bloody mouth slightly raised.
He said with a half-smile, "The orb of destiny is trapped by these things. Even I would be seriously injured by it. It's not easy for you, a child of destiny who hasn't grown up yet, to get it!"
Meng Chun's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "If that's the case, why don't you look for someone else? The world is so big, and I'm not the only one blessed with good fortune."
The young man chuckled, then slowly stood up with the help of the wall. His angry roar was mixed with his concern for his people.
"You think I don't want to? But there are no human beings in this world anymore!"
The young man raised his eyes, a different emotion bursting out from behind him, "I can wait... but my people can't... so contracting you is the best and fastest way to achieve the desired effect!"
When Meng Chun saw him like this, he suddenly thought of how quiet and obedient he had been along the way, and how he had approached him from time to time.
I suddenly felt creepy! No wonder the senior didn't let me get close to him in the beginning, so this is his true appearance!
Emperor Qian looked at him coldly, "Borrowing luck is inherently detrimental to the harmony of nature. Even if Chun'er's luck is extraordinary, she will still suffer backlash."
"So, when you said you were willing to sign the contract, it was actually just to trick Chun'er back into the clan and then force her to be sacrificed. Am I right?!"
The young man's face turned pale upon hearing this. He looked at Di Zha with shock in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "How did you know..."
Then he immediately reacted and roared: "Who are you? Why do you know so much about this?!"
"Well---!"
Dizha once again grabbed his neck from a distance, his tone icy and piercing, "Of course it's the one who killed you."
Now that Meng Chun knew that he had been tricked by him, he was extremely angry and looked at the young man with hatred.
But in the next moment, Dizaka grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into his arms.
"Don't look."
The strength in her hands suddenly increased, and the mermaid boy could no longer hold back and turned back to his original form. The feeling of suffocation from having his neck strangled made him swing his fish tail continuously.
But in the next moment, his entire body and soul were crushed by Emperor Qi and turned into ashes.
Sensing the strange emotions emanating from the person in his arms, Dizha finally put away the murderous intent in his eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong with Chun'er?"
Meng Chun thought about his own poor judgment of people, so he just called out gloomily, "Senior..."
"Well, I'm here."
Diqian patted his back gently like coaxing a child, and soothed him in a gentle tone, "Chun'er, are you regretting what you did back then?"
Meng Chun nodded gently in her embrace, then looked up at her, "I thought... I had become smarter, but I almost put myself in danger..."
When Emperor Taizong heard his words, he didn't criticize him. Instead, he explained, "As a mermaid, he's inherently treacherous and cunning. It's understandable that you're still so inexperienced that you can't see through his disguise."
"The reason I didn't stop the deal you proposed was naturally because there are many things that require you to experience them firsthand before you can truly understand them."
The corners of Dizha's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a very serious tone: "Besides, even if my Chun'er makes a wrong choice, I will be by her side to protect her, so you just need to be bold and try."
After hearing her words, Meng Chun felt a warm feeling in his heart. With a slightly blushing face, he leaned into Di Zha's arms.
It wasn't a very straightforward love talk, but having a wife who supported and loved him unconditionally made Meng Chun's heart beat again and again.
Just as the two were enjoying each other's affection, the system suddenly reminded them: [Host, do you still want to take the Fortune Orb?]
Emperor Zhao frowned and said coldly: "No."
Upon hearing this, the system feigned regret and said, "Alas, this is a top-notch Fortune Orb. I was originally thinking of using it to exchange for a chance to win a prize."
[It seems our host no longer wants to give gifts to the Destined One... This system should go back to sleep...]
"and many more."
Emperor Qi raised his eyes to look at the orb of fortune that was trapped by numerous restrictions, and asked the system in a cold voice in his mind.
"What do you want to do with this Orb of Fortune?"
The system was stunned, and immediately played the victim in an attempt to gain her sympathy, [Host... wuwuwu, although you complete the task quickly, the system's goal is a million points...]
[Occasionally, I'd like to exchange your unwanted treasures for points... That makes sense, right?... Woo, woo~]
"Don't make any noise!"
What annoyed Diqi the most was that it was a broken system that imitated human crying, and the crying was not even as beautiful as his own Chun'er's, which made him even more annoyed.
