Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 141 Mom, Uncle, please stop fighting!
Hearing the rustling sound behind her, Jing Xiaoyu perked up her ear fins, turned her head in confusion, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Jing Xiaoyu threw down the tree branch with a whoosh and pounced over, grabbing Jing Weimian's legs without a second thought.

"mom!"

Jing Weimian hummed in response but didn't speak immediately. She squatted down slightly, lowered her head, and held the little fish, carefully examining it with the gentle, cool water.

Only after confirming that the baby had not suffered any actual harm did my tense heart gradually relax.

But Jing Xiaoyu was unaware of this. He only realized he had made a mistake when he saw his mother lowering her head and not speaking. He had caused his mother to worry.

Feeling incredibly guilty and uneasy, I gently shook my mother's drooping hand and whispered, "Mom, are you a little unhappy because I secretly ran away?"

Before Jing Weimian could speak, Jing Cishen, leaning against the tree behind him, said casually:
"Of course! Your mother abandoned you to find your human father, and now she has to come and rescue you before she even meets him. Do you think your mother wouldn't be angry?"

"..."

Jing Weimian couldn't bear it any longer.

He stood up and slammed the man to the ground. Jing Cishen was not to be outdone. Taking advantage of his mermaid form, he raised his tail in an attack arc, almost ready to strangle Jing Weimian in the next second.

Suddenly, the tip of the fish's tail was embraced by a soft, white little hand.

Jing Cishen glanced at him with a gloomy expression, "Little brat, are you looking for death? Let go of me now!!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Jing Weimian slapped him hard across the face with the force of the ocean current, "Who are you calling a liar?"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Jing Xiaoyu grabbed her uncle's tail fin with her left hand and her mother's webbed hand, which was still gathering energy, with her right hand. "Mom, Uncle, please stop fighting!"

Both of them glanced at the tiny fry blocking their way, then simultaneously released their grip and turned away, their faces cold.

Jing Xiaoyu, still shaken, raised her small hand and patted her chest, then looked up to persuade Jing Cishen.

"Uncle, go apologize to Mom. How could you try to sow discord between me and Mom like that?"

Jing Cishen crossed his arms, unmoved by reason: "So, does that mean she can hit me? I'm her brother!"

"But it's because you, Uncle, spoke ill of Mom first that she got angry."

Jing Xiaoyu wanted to say something more to persuade her, but before she could utter a sound, Jing Weimian picked her up and said, "Let's go, baby."

Jing Cishen stared at Jing Weimian, who was about to leave with the little fish in her arms, and narrowed her eyes, saying, "I'll say it again, Mian, don't even think about leaving here."

Without turning her head, Jing Weimian carried her baby back the way she came.

After walking for about ten minutes, Jing Xiaoyu wrapped her arms around Jing Weimian's neck and whispered, "Mom, I saw it. Uncle was secretly following behind us. He thought I hadn't noticed."

"...Never mind him."

Back on the other side of the cliff, Jing Weimian rescued Nanya, who was nailed to the rock. She told Nanya to watch over the baby. She tried several methods, but none of them could actually pose a threat to the barrier above their heads.

Jing Weimian quickly realized that there was only one way to break this barrier, and that was—

It completely destroyed Jing Cishen's core.

The barrier will naturally disintegrate and disappear at that time.

However, the consequence is that once the scales shatter, Jing Cishen will also die. Otherwise, it's no wonder that Jing Cishen is now a lunatic; anyone with a sound mind wouldn't do something so harmful to others and himself.

Jing Cishen was clearly gambling, betting that she would shatter his scale core in order to leave.

A few minutes later, Jing Weimian returned from above the barrier with a sullen face.

Nan Ya, holding the little fish's hand, asked with considerable worry, "How is it, Your Highness? Is there still no way to open the barrier?"

Jing Weimian said, "No rush," and walked down the cliff.

"I feel like Mom's going to beat up Uncle again," Jing Xiaoyu whispered as she followed behind.

“…He really deserves a beating,” Nan Ya couldn’t help but mutter under her breath. “General Lu is fighting on the battlefield outside, and he’s using you, Xiao Yu, to lure His Highness here, and he won’t let His Highness leave. Isn’t that just making things worse?”

After thinking about it carefully, Jing Xiaoyu said, "That's true. It's really wrong of Uncle to do this. What if something really happens to Dad? I'll go and try to persuade him again now."

Seeing that Jing Xiaoyu was about to deliver himself to that madman Jing Cishen again, Nan Ya was so frightened that she quickly grabbed him, "No, no, no, for safety's sake, it's better to let His Highness handle it."

However, when they returned to the open space where the shelter had been built, they did not find Jing Cishen again.

Worried that his mother would have nowhere to rest at night, Jing Xiaoyu picked up the branches again to repair the little nest that he had not yet finished building.

Jing Weimian watched the little one busy with his activities using her senses, and wanted to lend a hand.

Worried that she might accidentally reveal her secret about her eyes to the baby, she could only obediently revert to her mermaid form and sit on the wooden bed in the shelter, occasionally fetching things for the baby.

Before long, Nanya returned after searching the surrounding area. "Your Highness, I have searched carefully, but I have not found any trace of Your Highness nearby."

Just then, Jing Xiaoyu, who was curling her little tail around a branch and carrying a huge leaf covering the roof, couldn't help but blink and add, "Uncle probably doesn't dare to come out for the time being because he's afraid of being beaten by his mother."

Nan Ya: "...It's not impossible."

The woods quickly grew dark.

Nan Ya was worried that the Crown Prince would launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, so she couldn't sleep peacefully and volunteered to guard the outside of the shelter.

Jing Xiaoyu noticed that her mother still seemed preoccupied, so she climbed onto the wooden bed and hugged her.

He patted her shoulder and back with his little hand and coaxed her, "Mom, don't worry. When it gets light tomorrow, I will definitely go and find Uncle and persuade him to open the barrier."

Jing Weimian paused for a moment, then casually tucked the baby into her arms, lay down on the wooden bed with the little one in her arms, and rubbed the little guy's head as she explained:

“Baby, I wasn’t angry with you then. I was worried that you were hurt, so I was only focused on checking your fish tail.”

Jing Xiaoyu was surprised that her mother was still troubled by this matter. She immediately hugged her mother tightly, nodded firmly, and said, "I know, it's all nonsense that my uncle is talking about. I didn't believe a word of it."

Fearing that her mother might overthink things, Jing Xiaoyu coaxed her mother in a soft voice for a while, which finally calmed her downcast mood a little.

Jing Xiaoyu still felt a vague sense of unease, because before this, he rarely saw his mother react so sensitively to such a small matter.

Just as she was feeling confused, Jing Xiaoyu's little hand accidentally slipped down.

Suddenly, I felt a very subtle, tiny swollen curve on my mother's pelvic fin.
