Chapter 2769 - 2770: Heartbreak

On the other side, Ling Chen also clasped his chest and fell to the ground, his eyes tightly shut.

"Achun, how are you?" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly went to check his body and discovered that his heart meridian had suffered a severe impact, akin to someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest in modern medical terms.

"How could this happen, their hearts..." Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened, "It’s as if their hearts are about to crack open."

Ling Chen rolled on the ground in agony, muttering, "It hurts so much, my heart hurts so much, I’m going to die."

They were martial artists, with a much higher tolerance for pain than ordinary people, yet at this moment, both of them could not endure it, as if their hearts were being forcibly torn apart.

"No, if this continues, they will die." Bai Ruozhu was drenched in cold sweat from anxiety. Without hesitation, she grabbed them with both hands, "I’ll take them out."

She helped the two onto the disc but suddenly realized she had no idea where the mechanism to lower it was, causing her hands to tremble momentarily.

"First, use the golden needle to protect their heart meridians, and we’ll find the mechanism," Ning Yu said.

Bai Ruozhu took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm herself. She took out the needles, and given the urgency, she decisively started inserting a needle with one hand on each.

After protecting the heart meridians, their condition improved slightly, but they were still in immense pain.

Was it the heart of the merfolk ancestor that shattered, causing any nearby merfolk to feel the same agony? Was it because she was the progenitor of all merfolk? Or had a formation been set up here to transmit her pain to the merfolk?

Bai Ruozhu’s mind was chaotic, so much so that she didn’t know what she was thinking.

Others were also worried, quickly checking the surroundings. But this place was all azure, the surrounding crystals of unknown material, all as blue as the sky, yet staring at them for long brought about a sense of sadness.

Finally, the astrologer discovered the mechanism, and the disc slowly descended, gradually exiting the Azure Realm.

As it slowly descended back to the main hall’s floor, Bai Ruozhu instinctively glanced downward, not wanting to see the dense mass of spiders in the void beneath the platform, causing her to involuntarily shiver.

Fortunately, she knew they were mechanical puppet spiders, not real spiders; otherwise, she would indeed have been drenched in cold sweat.

Jiang Yichun and Ling Chen stopped shouting in pain, gradually calming down, seemingly unaffected once they left that place.

Bai Ruozhu sighed in relief and, once the platform steadied, helped the two down.

She took Jiang Yichun’s hand and wrote in his palm: You rest, I’ll go up to help.

Jiang Yichun nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

Reluctant to leave them unguarded, Bai Ruozhu released Xiaohei to protect them before reactivating the mechanism, riding the platform upward.

Everyone waited at the entrance, quickly inquiring when they saw her.

"Once they went down, they were fine, but haven’t recovered yet. I left Xiaohei to protect them. Let’s check things out first," she said.

Ning Yu pointed forward, "Over there, I just saw half a fish tail."

Everyone started to move forward but was suddenly called back by Bai Ruozhu.

"Do you remember how Furball fell asleep and wouldn’t wake up after going down? What if we get affected and all fall asleep? So we can’t all go at once. I’ll go first. If I don’t return within fifteen minutes, send someone to fetch me, but tie a rope around their waist."

"I’d better go first," Ning Yu said.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, "I’ve had the most contact with merfolk, so I might see the secrets. Besides, in case anything happens, Senior Brother and the Astrologer can think of a way to resolve it."

"Alright, be careful," Ning Yu patted her shoulder.

Bai Ruozhu walked forward step by step, finding the singing increasingly sorrowful as she approached, even bringing tears to her eyes, and her heart started aching faintly.

How strong these emotions must be, to affect even her, but not as severely as they did Achun and Ling Chen, still endurable for her.

Finally, she clearly saw the shadow ahead, but a giant shell obstructed her view, only revealing half a fish tail swaying to the song, azure as well.

Images suddenly surged into her mind, unavoidable, many recounted by Furball, and others previously unmentioned. These were the most excruciating memories of the Merfolk Ancestor.

A young man, filled with youthful vigour, lost a bet and angrily went to the restaurant to drink, only for someone to surreptitiously add drug powder to his wine.

After drinking enough, the young man staggered home, followed by two wily-looking men carrying a large sack.

"Young Master, what’s wrong with you?" At the pond at home, a merfolk girl lay by the pond, happily flicking her fish tail, seemingly unaware of any trouble.

The young man stared at her tail, slowly feeling his body heat up.

"Ayan, if only you weren’t a merfolk," he began to babble.

The merfolk girl blushed, "If I weren’t a merfolk, how would Young Master have bought me?"

The young man suddenly jumped into the pond, tugging at his clothes, "So hot, help this young master undress!"

The merfolk girl had never done such a thing and was momentarily at a loss. As she contemplated what to do, the young man had already stripped off his clothes.

A light pink hue tinted his skin, and his peach blossom eyes gazed dreamily at the merfolk girl.

He pulled her into his embrace, kissed her cherry lips, gently nipping and massaging them. The merfolk girl was both shy and shocked, nearly forgetting to breathe.

His hand moved to her tail, her most sensitive spot, causing her to soon collapse into his embrace.

The young man, unaware of his actions, embraced the merfolk girl, venting the most primal and impulsive desires in his body, gradually releasing the drug’s effects.

Who knows how long it had been before he groggily climbed ashore, returning to his room naked, unaware of another presence in his bed.

Early the next morning, the young man was sharply slapped by the princess beside the bed, finally realizing he’d been set up, while the vivid, languorous scenes in his memory, and the beauty in his dreams, he mistakenly believed to be the princess.

Quickly, he was punished and banished, seeking out the princess, but she showed no mercy, and even desired to eradicate him, considering marrying such a person the greatest humiliation of her life.

The young man, accompanied by his household servant, his merfolk maid, and the Golden Wings Clan he had rescued, descended to the lower realm, yet soon he directed the merfolk girl to the sea, freeing her.

A single night of indulgence, the merfolk girl’s first was given to him, making it impossible for her to forget him.

But he was unaware, assuming the previous night was with the princess, never imagining he could be with the merfolk girl, subconsciously thinking it impossible for a human to be with a merfolk.
