The door slowly opened, and Xue Ling had a cold expression on his face as he looked outside, saying, “Come out then. There’s no point in hiding in the dark.”
It was dark outside the car, and there was only a weakly shining street lamp casting down some fractured lighting. A rather slender figure appeared in front of the two. Lou Cen stretched out his hand to push Xue Ling behind him for protection, but Xue Ling slid out from behind the arm that was stuck out in front of him. He opened his mouth to say, “Don’t worry. He doesn’t have any ill intent towards me.” Deep-sea merfolk had always been ruled by their bloodlines, and they dedicated themselves to their king. The bloodline in his body was more than enough to make the person in front of him obey him thoroughly as long as he willed it.

“It seems that Your Highness already has some understanding towards us.” When the visitor spoke, his voice carried a trace of amusement, and he stepped out to show his handsome face. He wore a pair of glasses, and looked very refined. When he curved his lips and smiled, that gentle-as-jade feeling made those who were interacting with him unconsciously relax. His body still carried a faint scent of the ocean, it was very light, but Xue Ling could clearly sense it. “This is really great. I thought it would take quite some work to convince you to go back with me.”
“I don’t have time to discuss the question of whether or not I will go back with you right now.” Xue Ling currently had no strength or time to discuss the matter of his identity with this person who was clearly a deep-sea merperson. He had even less time to explain these messy and cluttered incidents that stacked up one after the other. “If there’s really something, then come to the Duke’s Palace with him tomorrow. By then, you will have a very long time to take care of me.”
This short conversation allowed the person across the street to immediately realize that Xue Ling was currently in bad condition. His expression was heavy as he guessed, “Your Highness’ maturity phase has come ahead of schedule?”
“Can’t you already sense it?” Xue Ling laughed shortly, closed the door to the suspension car, and set the destination as the Duke’s Palace. He reached out and hugged Lou Cen, tilting his head and kissing him on the cheek. “I can’t explain too much to you now. I’ll tell you the answers to everything you want to know when I wake up, okay?”
“Maturity phase?”
“Yes. While I haven’t fallen asleep yet, take me back to the Duke’s Palace. I can help you avoid detection.”
Lou Cen’s expression was cold. Although the person in his arms had constantly been doing some actions to comfort him, he was currently still in a very bad mood. Xue Ling had concealed too much from him, and Lou Cen did not dare to imagine what kind of situation he would be facing tomorrow if he had not shown up in this place tonight.

Perhaps Xue Ling would have followed the person who he had just spoken with and left, or perhaps he would have received news that his little merman was ill when he woke up tomorrow. He would also blame himself, thinking that his deep sleep had something to do with him taking him to the underground city yesterday.
It was true that they were related, but it was not a connection that Lou Cen could control.
Lou Cen still had no clue what had happened in the underground city. It was not until he received the news the next day that he was finally clear on why Xue Ling would unhesitatingly reveal his last cards to him last night, and also hurriedly bring him away.

The underground city was sealed up. Basically everyone who had been present last night were still being kept inside, and their identities would be investigated in full detail. The he identity that he had used to enter the underground area had already been completely destroyed, and there would be no way that anything could be traced back to him, let alone, that identity had had no time to commit any crime.
Every year, the underground city would have some discarded identities, and those two identities were only two out of tens of millions.
Early in the morning, the Duke’s Palace was unexpectedly busy. Yan Zhaiyan was to leave home for the border this morning, but Yan Qingjun discovered that Yan Qiwen had not come down to say goodbye to their second brother. They had already spoken about it, and Yan Qiwen was not the type that would avoid Yan Zhaiyan just because the other person had some feelings towards him.
Yan Qingjun knocked on Xue Ling’s door, and then the entire Duke’s Palace burst into a frenzy of activity.
Yan Qiwen had fallen into a coma. Several merfolk doctors came, but none of them could find out what was wrong with him. His body was very healthy, and the instruments could not detect anything wrong. He appeared to simply be sleeping, but could not be woken up.
This gave the people of the Duke’s Palace some headaches. It was only when the merfolk doctor asked them if there had been any indicators yesterday that they recalled who Xue Ling had gone out with. But even before they could get in touch with Lou Cen, Lou Cen came to visit the Duke’s Palace on his own.
Other than him, there was another person by his side. He claimed to be Yan Qingjun’s friend, and came to find him because he had heard that he’d found his real family.
The Duke’s Palace became lively all of a sudden.
Lou Cen had watched Xue Ling fall asleep with his own eyes last night. Although he had explained to him that this was a normal symptom of the maturity phase, he was still worried. He found an excuse to come over this morning, and then bumped into the man that had been outside their car last night at the door.
After closer observation this time, Lou Cen noticed some details that he had not noticed last night. This man’s figure was very well proportioned. His pair of legs were long, and he appeared to be just an ordinary person as he did not have the same width as a breeder, but strangely, Lou Cen could sense that he was very dangerous. This man and Xue Ling were very similar when they had legs, and the feeling that the two of them gave off was very unified. And considering the way he had addressed Xue Ling last night, Lou Cen guessed that him and Xue Ling should both be merfolk, but they had an ability that other merfolk did not have – the ability to turn their tails into legs.
Then the questions also came up: Were they human or fish? Where did they come from? How long would his little cutie be in a coma for? What kind of changes would occur after he woke up?

… Oh, speaking of change. That little cutie had really let him see the real face hidden under his silly, sweet, and coquettish mask. If those thirty odd lives were not enough to let Lou Cen understand that the little merman of the Yan family was obviously not some weak and frail little child, then he might as well give up his position as General.
All the people of the Duke’s Palace were downstairs, and each of them was full of worry. Yan Qingjun was a little surprised upon seeing the face of the man who came in behind Lou Cen. “Lan?”
In the original plot, after Yan Qiwen’s death, the deep-sea merfolk had completely lost their Emperor. They were unable to accept such a result due to their long-standing discontent with human beings, and therefore raised the flag of revenge against humansand started a war.
