Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 314 Beautiful Child Chapter 17

Ever since that incident, Gu Yao has felt like a piece of meat on a chopping board.

They were being watched very closely.

He had no way to resist.

That blunt gaze made Gu Yao really want to throw the kettle in his hand at his face.

Taking a deep breath, the king, who was completely dominated by the weak humans, kept his eyes straight ahead and continued watering the flowers in the flowerbed.

That little brat is just too infuriating.

It needs to be aired out properly.

Ryan knew he had gone a bit too far last time, so he didn't have any objections.

Although they were kicked out.

But sneaking out of the window to catch fish at night has its own unique charm.

Mr. Mermaid knows this.

Isn't that still indulging him?

Thinking about this, Ryan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The merman seemed to know all his anxieties.

They were also trying their best to soothe his anxiety.

Even though she stubbornly kicked him out of the room, she still left the balcony door open for him.

Mermaids possess one of the most acute senses of all creatures on the entire continent; how could they not notice?

Her emerald eyes, filled with a gentle light, were fixed on that handsome figure.

Gu Yao looked at the beautiful roses and felt extremely happy.

My agitated mood from being stared at earlier has calmed down.

No wonder so many people enjoy tending to flowers and plants.

It really is a hobby that calms the mind.

When Ryan saw that the person had finished watering, he quickly got up and went forward to take Gu Yao's hand, but was blocked by a light blue magic that rushed towards him.

Looking at the conch shell floating in the light blue magic, Ryan could keenly sense that the magic and the person in front of him should have the same origin.

Gu Yao put down the kettle in his hand, looked at the small conch in front of him, and felt somewhat helpless.

The mermaids' unique magical communication means something big must have happened. Gu Yao sighed softly and reached for the conch shell, holding it to his ear.

The voice of the merman priest came from the conch shell.

[My King, the little mermaid is about to be born in our ancestral land; it is time for you to return.]

Gu Yao frowned, looked at Ryan, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

He had almost forgotten about it.

When a newborn mermaid is born, the king must personally go to receive them and take them to the altar for sacrifice and blessing.

Although the merfolk don't usually have much to do, he still needs to be present for this important event that happens only once every hundred years.

Gu Yao pursed her lips, unsure how to begin speaking to the young man before her.

He always felt a little guilty when he met those beautiful blue eyes.

I always feel like I'm some kind of scumbag husband who's lying to his wife about having affairs outside the home.

But this is a big deal for the merfolk.

Now that he has become king, he naturally has to be responsible for them.

Gu Yao sighed softly.

I'm really worried.

He really didn't want to leave Ryan at this time; he wanted to witness every important moment of the boy's life.

In a few days, the people from the capital will find Ryan and bring him back to the capital.

He was now the prince of the empire.

He was found to possess the purest and most powerful magic in the church of the royal capital and became the church's holy son.

In the years that followed, he became the youngest Grandmaster mage in the history of the empire.

It can be said that as long as the boy returns to the capital...

His growth rate is astonishing.

He will become an indelible part of the empire's history.

And these are all things Gu Yao doesn't want to miss.

Even knowing that Ryan was the chosen one of this world, and that even if he got hurt, his life would not be in danger, he still wanted to protect the boy.

She protected him under her wings.

He will not let anything outside affect him in the slightest.

Gu Yao lowered his eyes, feeling a bit of a headache.

Ryan lowered his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yao's hand, "Mr. Mermaid, are you leaving?"

The boy's tone remained gentle, but his trembling voice betrayed his barely suppressed nervousness.

Gu Yao dared not look up, afraid of seeing the heartbroken expression in those blue eyes.

He wanted Ryan to be happy forever.

He wanted this person to never get hurt.

I hope he will never feel pain.

He knew that Ryan had always been insecure. Even though he had placed a forbidden spell on him, the boy would still subconsciously look for him when he couldn't see him.

But now he has to miss the most important part of his life as a teenager.

How could Gu Yao accept this?

The birth of a newborn merman is also of utmost importance.

Unfortunately, these two things happened to coincide.

They are irreconcilable.

Gu Yao didn't know what to do either.

A silence fell between the two.

The boy's hopeful eyes dimmed, and he released Gu Yao's hand, forcing a smile.

"Mr. Mermaid, if you have something to attend to, please leave now."

"Don't mind me."

The boy turned his head away, suppressing the tears welling in his eyes, but he couldn't shake off the bitter feeling.

Sarsis, it's time to leave him.

This realization left Ryan feeling suffocated.

Will he come back?

If he doesn't come back, will I be able to find him?

What if we can't find it?

The thought of never seeing the person in front of him again filled Ryan with an overwhelming sense of despair.

Scattered traces remain along the edge of the flower bed.

These are the tears of a young boy.

Gu Yao lowered his head and saw the deep and shallow tear stains, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

He looked up at the person in front of him; the boy was suppressing his sobs, but his body was trembling slightly.

Like a pitiful flower that has been knocked down in a storm.

It makes one want to cherish the flowers.

He gently stroked her tear-streaked cheeks with his fingertips, tenderly wiping away her tears, and placed a kiss on her beautiful blue eyes.

With his forehead pressed against the boy's, Gu Yao explained, "It's not what you think. I am the king of the mermaid clan. The birth of a newborn child occurs only once every hundred years in our clan. I need to go back and bring the newborn mermaid from our ancestral land to the altar to receive the priest's blessing."

This is a momentous event for the merfolk, a once-in-a-century event; I have no choice but to leave.

At the end, Gu Yao paused, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.

Ryan stared blankly at the person in front of him, whose beautiful face was furrowed, and a look of sorrow appeared on her face for no reason.

He couldn't help but reach out and smooth the wrinkles between his brows, asking cautiously in a soft voice, "Will Sarsis ever come back?"

Will she come back to me?

The boy's fingertips moved with tenderness, but his words were spoken with utmost caution.

Even her lips were tightly pursed.

His cheeks puffed out slightly, like an angry pufferfish.

cute.

Gu Yao's heart softened, and she smiled as she reached out and poked the puffed-up cheek.

I went a little too far.

It's leaking air.

Ryan stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him, somewhat incredulous.

Those emerald eyes were filled with tears, as if accusing Gu Yao of his inhumane actions.

Gu Yao withdrew his hand somewhat guiltily.

He turned his head away nonchalantly.

This is definitely not his fault.

He did nothing.

Feeling increasingly guilty under Ryan's gaze, he coughed lightly.

"So, I'll be leaving for a while, Ryan. Can you wait for me here when I come back?"

Gu Yao's voice trembled slightly.

It's because they feel guilty.

It is also an expectation.

Feeling guilty, he didn't tell the boy what he was about to accept.

They also hoped that the boy would wait for him to return.

He didn't want to miss a single step of the boy's growth.

He wanted to leave behind more memories.

Ryan was puzzled. Where else could he go if he didn't stay here and wait for Salsis to return?

However, since Mr. Mermaid asked this question, he naturally had to make a guarantee.

Only well-behaved children can win the favor of adults.

He said ingratiatingly, "Of course, I'll wait here for Salsis to return."

No matter how long it takes.

A genuine smile appeared on the beautiful mermaid's face.
