CHAPTER 41 (1/2)

Lost Atlantis 12

Jiang Xie’s complicated mood was just beginning.

On the water curtain, Xie Xi read the file and returned to the undersea kingdom. He just returned from the hot land to the warm water, only to see the sixth prince alive. He sighed with relief. This feedback was transmitted to Jiang Xie in the form of goodwill +1.

Jiang Xie was uncomfortable. The sixth prince blocked a shot for Xie Xi and it was natural for goodwill to rise. Then why did it rise again after the file was read and they met?

Clearly his little rose had good feelings but Old Jiang wasn’t happy.

Xie Xi spoke the same words to the sixth prince and the sixth prince’s reply was almost identical.

This included the sentence after departure.

“…Call me Sirius.”

Xie Xi’s eyes curved as he called out, “Sirius.”

The sixth prince whispered, “This is the first time I’ve felt that my name is so good.”

“It sounds good.”

Jiang Xie, “…” The green +3 stung his eyes. In other words, Old Jiang caused the goodwill to fall while his soul caused it to rise?

Next, the sixth prince helped Xie Xi gain his legs. Jiang Xie already disliked this part the first time it happened and now he hated it even more. The sixth prince was his soul and his soul was part of him. Right now, he was feeling green towards himself.

This authentic green, the green +1 was like the green grassland under the blue sky and white clouds.

It was too much.

This time, Xie Xi didn’t dare delay with his legs. He actively held the sixth prince’s arm and tried hard to walk. There would be danger once they went ashore. He must adapt to these two ‘bamboo poles’ as soon as possible!

The sixth prince saw the thin sweat dripping from his nose and said, “Don’t be anxious. Take your time.”

How could Xie Xi slow down? He resisted the discomfort and kept walking. “I can’t drag you back.”

The second prince asked, “How can that be? The fact that you accompanied me ashore, I already…” He paused and felt that this was too intimate to say.

Xie Xi understood.

They only met each other for a few days and the time spent together was even less, yet the sixth prince saved Xie Xi’s life at a critical moment. This showed how much he valued Xie Xi.

He didn’t understand how a person who had seen a cold world, who suffered from the injustice of being excluded and who lived such a miserable life, could have such a gentle heart.

The prince accepted Xie Xi’s without knowing the sham and sacrificed his life.

Xie Xi was very ashamed.

This time, Xie Xi adapted well. Not only did he require less help, but he could also run on these legs.

He drank the water retention agent and after landing, he resisted the dry heat and sultriness of the air. He couldn’t let the sixth prince waste strength on giving him a water shield! The sixth prince had to recharge his batteries and do his best!

The sixth prince asked in a worried manner, “How are you?”

Xie Xi wasn’t good. He was very bad but he smiled and said, “The land is really different from the sea.”

“If you feel bad…”

Xie Xi screamed, “Be careful!”

His voice was heard before the air broke apart. This gave the sixth prince enough reaction time. He reached out to protect Xie Xi and the two of them rolled together, dodging the bullet.

Xie Xi’s heart was beating quickly and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.Despite his many death experiences, his adrenaline was surging in this tense moment.

“There is danger on the shore. Let’s go back to the boat first!” Xie Xi hurriedly told the prince.

The sixth prince was on guard and paying attention to the enemy’s movements. “Go!”

They moved as a dense hail of bullets were fired. Fortunately, Xie Xi had practiced moving on his legs or he would’ve had to load the file again!

The two people escaped from the bullets and finally returned to the boat. The boat was simple but it could withstand the pressure of the seabed. Thus, ordinary knives and guns couldn’t harm it.

Xie Xi was startled as he suddenly realized a problem he had ignored before.

The undersea people lived under high pressure all year round. Their bodies were far superior to the land people and ordinary bullets couldn’t pierce through their skin at all. The sixth prince was from the powerful royal family. How could the previous shot be fatal?

So…

Xie Xi looked at the sixth prince and found he was looking solemn, the different coloured pupils much deeper than usual. They were filled with an unknown meaning.

Xie Xi whispered, “Your Highness, there is danger on the shore. Let’s go back first!”

The sixth prince glanced at him. “You go back first. I have to find out who is behind the ambush.”

“It is dangerous.”

The sixth prince explained to him. “This attack isn’t just about our lives or deaths. If this news is sent back to the bottom of the sea, it will lead to greater trouble.”

The sixth prince hadn’t publicized that he was going to the shore but he had registered it. He had just left. If he returned straight away, he was bound to be questioned. Even if the sixth prince managed to hide it, other people would be attacked if they went ashore.

Xie Xi had some vague conjectures. He couldn’t explain it and could only ask, “If it is the land people who declared war on us…”

The sixth prince stared out the window. “Then we will fight.”

Xie Xi hadn’t expected the sixth prince to be so decisive and spoke again, “If it isn’t…”

“That’s why I have to confirm the truth.”

He turned to Xie Xi. “Go back and find a place to hide. No one knows that you went to the shore and it won’t arouse suspicion.”

He was going to stay and find out what happened, but he didn’t want Xie Xi involved.

How could Xie Xi not understand? He exclaimed, “I am a guard of the royal family. How can I leave Your Highness and escape alone?”

The sixth prince was stunned. His pupils shrank and an unprecedented indifference filled his voice. “How is the royal family worthy of your protection?”

Xie Xi was unmoved. “Sirius is worth it!”

The words shocked the sixth prince. He stared at Xie Xi with unsettled eyes.

Xie Xi didn’t shy away. Forget the fact that he had several lives. He wouldn’t leave the sixth prince, even if he had only one life.

This man died for him once. Xie Xi wouldn’t let him die a second time.
