Chapter 164 Finally Seeing Dan Yue
Dan Yue pursed her lips and remained silent. Suddenly, she stood up and walked towards the creaking wooden door.

"and many more."

Fu Ying's fingertips were slightly cool as she gently gripped Dan Yue's wrist, the force neither too light nor too heavy, yet not allowing her to break free.

With her other hand, she placed the egg that had absorbed the medicine into her spatial storage, then looked up at Dan Yue with a calm gaze: "It's still raining outside. Your soul has been drained by the sea monster, so you need to rest."

"Why did you come here?" Dan Yue's voice was very soft, like a thin blade, sharp and cold.

He didn't pull away from Fuying's hand, but slowly looked at her, his light blue eyes carrying a faint coldness, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if he were looking at a stranger: "Where is Feng Hai?"

Although her voice was calm, Dan Yue's fingertips trembled slightly, and her mind was in a state of chaos.

He didn't understand. He had only been sleeping in the Demon Sea Abyss for a while, but when he woke up, Tail Scale had not returned, and Wind Sea was gone. All that was in front of him was Fuying, the person he wanted to avoid at all costs.

Moreover, she even gave birth to a larva in front of him.

It was all so absurd it was almost unreal, like a dream, leaving him unable to process it.

Dan Yue closed her eyes briefly, her throat dry, her clear voice slightly hoarse: "...What exactly happened?"

"Feng Hai is fine. He just went back to the Merfolk to deliver a message. Don't worry."

"Sit down." Fu Ying exerted a little force, pulling his arm and making him sit back down.

Dan Yue swayed slightly, the ends of his long, azure hair turning white as it fell over his shoulders, making his handsome face appear somewhat numb. He stared at Fu Ying for a moment, then with a flick of his wrist, an exquisite wooden box appeared in his hand.

The wooden box opened with a soft "click".

The box shimmered with a deep blue light, as if it contained the entire starry sea. Inside were shimmering blue mermaid scales, which she carefully removed from her mermaid tail skirt and cleaned.

"Your tail scales." She looked down at the scales in the box and said softly, "I brought them."

As Dan Yue looked at the scales, his pupils contracted, and the familiar aura emanating from them made him tremble involuntarily.

Fu Ying raised the corner of her eye slightly as she looked at Dan Yue, a rare gentleness appearing in her eyes.

"I've come to fulfill my promise." Her voice was soft, her fingertips gently brushing against the scales.

She felt more pity for this beastly husband who had never shown any murderous intent towards her from beginning to end.

Dan Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly as she recalled what she had said to her.

She said she wanted to find his tail scales, make him better, and have children with him; he remembered every word she said.

"We clearly agreed that I would go back to the Oasis Tribe and you would wait for me. Why did you leave alone?" Fu Ying stared at Dan Yue and sighed softly. It could have been sooner.

Dan Yue lifted her eyelashes, her reflection shimmering in her light blue eyes, but her tone remained perfectly calm.

“The rainy season is approaching, and you have not returned yet. I am a sea beastman, and I cannot wait for you there forever. Besides, you don’t seem to be looking for me, do you? You even have time to raise your cubs.”

Dan Yue's voice was extremely cold, like a handful of cold snow, revealing no emotion, yet Fu Ying managed to detect a chilling sarcasm.

She tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently: "Are you angry?"

Before Dan Yue could answer, Fu Ying had already curled her lips into a smile, a faint blush rising on her pale face, her voice charming and gentle: "It's my fault, I came back too late."

He paused before speaking again: "You should still remember that the cub's father is the Nightless Marquis."

Her gaze fell on Dan Yue's face, and her voice was very soft.

Upon hearing this, Dan Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she abruptly looked up at her. A dark undercurrent surged in her light blue eyes, her voice tightened, and her fingertips unconsciously curled up: "The Marquis of Nightless City? He wasn't..." Wasn't he killed by you?

The words stuck in his throat, turning into a moment of deathly silence.

Although Fuying helped him find his tail scales and even cooked him grilled fish, in his eyes, she was still that proud and cruel female from the Oasis tribe.

Fu Ying shook her head: "He's fine, he's been reborn. But he still hates me."

At the end, Fu Ying chuckled softly, a hint of fragility showing on her pale face.

Dan Yue's lips pressed into a sharp line, and she remained silent for a long time.

He looked down at the faintly glowing tail scales in the box, and when he reached out to stroke them, he found that the patterns had already faded. His voice was so low that it almost dissipated in the wind: "Thank you for bringing it back."

Suddenly, Dan Yue closed the wooden lid, pushed the wooden box towards Fu Ying, and when she looked up, a layer of cold calm floated in her eyes: "However, I won't live much longer. You can keep these scales, consider it..."

Let's consider this: you and I have formed a bond and become the closest of partners.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and the rest of his words turned into a sigh.

He noticed it as soon as he came out of the Demon Sea Abyss; his body was decaying at an even faster rate. He could even feel the stagnation in his blood when he raised his hand, as if the tide was receding from his body.

Hearing the deathly tone in his voice, Fu Ying frowned slightly: "Why are you saying such discouraging things?"

Her voice was sharp, and she said with great dissatisfaction, "Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Once I regain some strength, I can help you reshape your star pattern and let you become the young patriarch of the Merfolk again."

Dan Yue paused, her light blue pupils reflecting her serious expression, and said nothing more.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door of the wooden house.

Jingxiang couldn't hear any more noise from inside the house and asked anxiously, "Fuying? Fuying, are you alright? Do you need any help? Or do you need something to eat? How about a sip of hot soup?"

She remembered that when females in the tribe gave birth, their partners would always bring the freshest berries and the most succulent food. But now, Fuying was lying alone inside giving birth, without anyone to help her.

As her friend, it was her duty to take good care of her.

Xingyao glanced at Jingxiang but said nothing. In any case, Fuying had helped the Merfolk and Danyue, and his dislike for her had lessened considerably.

She seems to be different from the rumors, even though she did cause those injuries.

But at this moment, faced with a weak female giving birth, the pent-up anger dissipated like the receding tide.

The moment Dan Yue opened the door, a sea breeze carrying a damp scent rushed towards her.

When he saw Xingyao, he paused for a moment: "Xingyao?"

Xingyao shuddered, turned to meet Danyue's eyes, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He took a sudden step forward, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion: "Young Clan Leader!"

Xingyao looked at the much thinner Danyue, his eyes reddening slightly: "Are you injured? The siren didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Since Dan Yue and Fu Ying formed a pact and left the tribe, he has hardly seen him at all.

Dan Yue seemed surprised to see his childhood friend here, but as he gazed at the person before him, his light blue eyes softened: "What are you doing here? Didn't you go to the Qijing Tribe?"
