Chapter 68 Mermaid Bubbles
Chapter 68 Mermaid Bubbles
He must not be an ordinary merman!
Under a sky thick with dark clouds, the sea became exceptionally turbulent, as if the whole world was trembling.
Chu Xinyao stood on the deck of the merman ship, gazing at the turbulent sea. A giant wave, like an angry beast, surged from the depths of the sea, seemingly about to devour everything.
Her heart raced, and she gripped Hu Xiao's hand tightly in nervousness. However, just as the giant wave was about to crash down, a blue figure leaped out of the sea, its tail tracing a graceful arc in the air, shattering the wave with astonishing force.
Water splashed everywhere, scattering like pearls across the sea. Chu Xinyao's eyes widened in surprise; she had never seen such a spectacular scene before.
That blue figure undoubtedly belonged to the mermaid Bubble.
The scales on his tail shimmered with a captivating luster in the dim light. His upper body resembled a human, with smooth and powerful muscle lines. His long, curly hair danced in the air with his movements, as free as ocean waves.
The waves in the storm became even more ferocious, crashing against the merman ship wave after wave.
Fish Bubble showed no fear. Like a guardian, he used his great strength and agility to break through the giant waves time and time again, protecting the merman ship's progress.
Each swipe of its tail carried the force of thunder, splitting the waves in two and clearing a safe passage for the merman's ship.
"Who is he?" The people around them began to ask the merman crew members beside them.
“He is the guardian of this ship. We assign a strong merman to each of our ships,” the crew member replied, his eyes gleaming with pride. “He is the elite of our race and the darling of the sea.”
Everyone looked at Bubble Fish. Its tail was elegant and powerful, each movement precise, as if it had some mysterious connection with the sea. Its tail swept across the water, leaving blue trails like lightning bolts illuminating the dark ocean.
He seemed to be able to sense the movement of the storm, predict the trajectory of the waves, and break the giant waves in the most appropriate way to protect the ship from damage.
Every attack he makes seems meticulously calculated, conserving energy while achieving the best results.
As the storm intensified, the fish bubbles moved even faster.
His figure weaved through the waves like an elegant dolphin dancing with the sea. Each time his tail struck a wave, it produced a deafening roar, like the ocean's fury or the storm's lament.
"My God, what's his name? Is he mate?" a female nearby asked boldly, her voice filled with excitement.
"Ah, this..." This question left the crew member stunned, clearly not expecting such a question.
"Yes, he's so strong, he's sure to produce some promising offspring."
"Yes, I think so too."
Several females nearby were talking excitedly, their conversation revolving around the fish bubble.
One of the females looked at the weak Crane Feather beside Chu Xinyao with a somewhat disdainful gaze.
He Yu understood that look in his eyes, and his face turned red with anger.
Chu Xinyao noticed this scene and gently patted He Yu's shoulder to comfort him. She turned to the females and said calmly, "That was indeed a powerful merman, but everyone has their own strengths and value, and we shouldn't judge them by just one standard."
"I didn't say anything!" The female was a little embarrassed by Chu Xinyao's words, realizing that her discussion was too superficial, and began to change the subject.
"Yaoyao, let's go back to the cabin! The crew just distributed defensive bubbles to each of us orcs." Hu Xiao helped Chu Xinyao up and walked towards his cabin.
"Defense bubbles?" What are those?
Hu Xiao took out a glass bead-like object from his pocket and placed it in Chu Xinyao's hand.
"This is it, you must keep it safe. It is said to be a unique skill of the eighth-tier merfolk. This bubble can protect orcs who fall into the water from seawater and also allow them to breathe underwater."
Bubbles? Well...
Was it the blue bubble that saved her before?
Chu Xinyao held the transparent glass bead, feeling its coolness, and looked at the fish bubble that was still fighting against the waves. Now the storm was gradually subsiding, and the fish bubble's movements became gentler.
He swam slowly back to the side of the boat, his tail gently slapping the water, each slap appearing calm and unhurried.
Is he also an eighth-tier powerhouse?
As if sensing something, Fish Bubble turned its head to look at Chu Xinyao. Upon seeing the familiar white hair and red eyes, it revealed a smile full of charm.
Hu Xiao frowned slightly. He noticed Yu Paopao's overtures to Chu Xinyao and couldn't help but feel a little displeased.
He wasn't a jealous person, but Chu Xinyao wasn't deeply in love with him yet, and he didn't want her to be disturbed by anything else.
He gently reached out and tugged at Chu Xinyao's sleeve, using this small gesture to remind her that it was time to return to the cabin.
Caught off guard by her radiant smile, Chu Xinyao was momentarily dazed.
Her eyes reflected the smile of the fish bubble, as if the whole world had stood still.
It wasn't until Hu Xiao reminded her that she snapped out of her daze, gently shook her head to shake off the feeling of confusion, turned around, and followed Hu Xiao toward the cabin.
The blue fishtail traced a graceful arc across the water's surface, a hint of displeasure in its movement. The sea had returned to calm, as if the previous storm had been nothing but an illusion.
A ray of sunlight finally broke through the thick clouds and shone on the fish bubble. The golden light complemented its blue fish tail, making it look like a prince of the sea, noble and mysterious.
Bathed in sunlight, he attracted the gazes of the females still on the deck, their eyes filled with infatuation, but he paid no heed.
The crew handed him clothes, which Fish Bubble took and put on. He ignored the females who tried to get close to him, not even giving them a glance, and strode away.
He paused briefly as he passed Chu Xinyao's room before continuing on his way.
"Yaoyao, you should rest first. You fell into the water, and I don't know if you'll get sick." Hu Xiao touched Chu Xinyao's forehead and worriedly covered her with the animal skin.
"I'm fine, really, don't worry!" After losing his memory, Hu Xiao's personality seemed to have completely changed.
"How could I not be worried..."
A knock sounded at the door. Hu Xiao thought it was He Yu and said, "The door is unlocked, come in!"
However, the person who entered was not He Yu as he had expected, but Yu Paopao, who was carrying ginger tea and wearing a long robe made of plain white silk.
The moment Yu Paopao came in, Chu Xinyao suddenly thought of a saying: "If you want to look pretty, wear mourning clothes."
