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

Chapter 89 Wife
Jing Weimian had no choice but to stand still, feeling that her aunt was making her look even more delicate.

When Auntie pushed the cut vines aside, a stone door suddenly appeared in front of her. Auntie pulled off a pendant shaped like a fishbone from her neck, placed it in the groove in the middle of the stone door, and easily pushed the stone door open.

"Let's go, Weimian."

There must be some luminous object deep in the cave, and a faint light source shines through the rock wall.

Auntie gently took her wrist and led her into the cave, while whispering about the past.

"Back then, dark forces infiltrated the mermaid royal family, slaughtered them, and overthrew their rule. The queen was worried that the last remaining descendants of the royal family with pure blood would also be killed by the dark forces, so she sent your uncle Yan and me to escort the young prince away from the royal family. We were hunted by the dark forces all the way, and in the end, we had no choice but to let one of the guards take the young prince away, while we were responsible for diverting the dark forces. We were eventually expelled to this sea area..."

"After arriving on Nameless Island for a while, your Uncle Yan and I quickly noticed that some of the guards' mermaid forms were beginning to degenerate. We weren't sure if this degeneration would affect the crucial token left by the queen, so we ultimately decided to hide it in a cave."

When Auntie said this, she stopped walking.

The stone wall in front of him was embedded with a dazzling scale bead, which had a faint pearly luster, but was completely different from a pearl. It was densely engraved with the secret patterns of ocean waves.

Auntie carefully took it down and said, "This star-patterned bead was left to your Highness by the queen."

"This is one of the keepsakes the Queen left for your Highness. There was originally a whole box of treasures. When we were driven to this sea, the situation was extremely chaotic and dangerous, and many things were left on the seabed, including the box left by the Queen. We couldn't save it."

"Although the guards searched the seabed many times afterwards, they were never able to find the box. Moreover... as the remaining guards' mermaid forms gradually degenerated, they were no longer able to dive deep into the sea to search... So, now, only this one token remains..."

As Auntie said this, she slowly handed the Star Pattern Bead, which she was holding reverently in her hand, towards Jing Weiman.

Jing Weimian instinctively took a step back and calmly analyzed the situation: "Aunt, you suddenly told me a secret that your guards have kept for years, and now you're showing me your queen's token. Is that what I thought?"

"It wasn't sudden." Auntie could see that Jing Weimian was a little defensive, so she had to explain, "Originally, when you brought Xiaoyu here, your uncle Yan and I just thought you were an ordinary mermaid exiled here by the dark power royal family."

"But... last night when you came back with your spouse and another guy, I saw that your fish tail... had changed."

Jing Weimian was stunned.

Is Auntie referring to the fishtail shape her scales have after their nuclei were repositioned?

"Weimian, you should know that when a mermaid reaches maturity, its two tail fins usually grow some filaments. The more and longer the fins are, the stronger the mermaid is. And Weimian, your tail transformed into a petal tail yesterday. You haven't seen such a tail shape on other mature mermaids before, right?"

Auntie thought about what she saw when Jing Weimian came back last night. The edges of the gauze fins that spread out of Jing Weimian's fish tail were as transparent as glass, and the folds of each piece and layer of gauze fins connected inward were gradient light pink petals. Before this, she had only seen such gorgeous and beautiful petal fish tails in the pure-blooded mermaid royal family in the past.

Upon hearing this, Jing Weimian lowered his head to look at his legs, then raised his eyes and blinked.

"Does that mean I'm a prettier mermaid?"

Auntie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course Weimian is beautiful. What I mean is that the petal tail is the unique mark of the mermaid royal family. That's why I brought you here——"

Jing Weimian pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt, I understand what you mean." "Really?"

Jing Weimian hesitated, not wanting to ruthlessly extinguish the hope in Auntie's eyes, so he nodded and promised, "I will do my best to find the box of things lost at the bottom of the sea."

In fact, Jing Weimian didn’t think that she was the only surviving descendant of the mermaid royal family. She felt that this was a very ancient and distant thing from her.

However, since she came here, Auntie and Uncle Yan have helped her so much. Now that Auntie has told her such an important secret, she will do her best to help Auntie get the box back no matter what.

Moreover, maybe the things in there can help Aunt and the others restore their mermaid form, or even help them escape from this sea area.

When Auntie heard Jing Weiman say this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jing Weiman was unwilling to accept the Star Pattern Bead for the moment, she had to put it back temporarily, thinking that it would not be too late to give it to her later.

On the way back down the mountain, Jing Weimian saw Lu Lianbai and the others from afar on the coast. He looked out and asked, "Is Uncle Yan back?"

Auntie also looked over and said, "It looks like we've gained a lot today. Let's go take a look, Wei Mian."

Jing Weimian came out in a hurry in the morning and didn't know how the baby explained to Lu Lianbai.

On the way over, Jing Weimian couldn't help but smile when he thought that the young Lu Lianbai might have thought that he was abducted by her to this sea area to work as a laborer.

When she and her aunt arrived at the beach, she first saw Hess dragging the fishing net and complaining, while Lu Lianbai, with a small fish lying on his shoulder and his shirt sleeves rolled up, was unloading seafood from the fishing boat one trip after another.

Unlike the tall and strong man he was when he had become an imperial admiral, Lu Lianbai's figure was relatively slender and upright at this time. When he got on and off the boat to move things, his waist was thin and tight, and his arms were thin, tough and powerful.

Of course, she had touched him all over when she was changing his clothes on the bed last night, proving that Lu Lianbai had indeed maintained a good figure when he was in military school.

As soon as Jing Weimian walked over, the little fish lying on Lu Lianbai's shoulder immediately looked at her with bright eyes. Just as she was about to call her, Jing Weimian made a "hush" gesture and walked lightly behind Lu Lianbai.

When Lu Lianbai carried another basket down from the boat, she kindly reached out to take it. Lu Lianbai raised his eyes and glanced at her quickly, then slightly turned his gaze away and carried the things down silently.

The boy's thin, ordinary shirt was half soaked by the sea water, covering his abdominal muscles with smooth and clear lines, rising and falling slowly with his breathing.

Jing Weimian blinked. At this time, he didn't know what Lu Lianbai was thinking. He hit a wall for no reason. He touched his nose and wanted to bypass him and go to the boat to help Uncle Yan get something else.

As a result, just as she was about to step onto the stairs, Lu Lianbai's slightly cold and powerful hand suddenly gently grabbed her wrist.

"Let me do it."

Water droplets dripped from her short black hair. Lu Lianbai didn't look at her, but called out in a cold voice, "Wife."
