CHAPTER 60 (2/2)

However, the fourth prince swam and stuffed all of the fishtail inside the uniform.

Xie Xi said, “Your Highness, I have an injury on my tail and will just dirty your clothes.”

The fourth prince swam back up with no emotional ups or downs in his cold eyes. “Go ahead. If you lie to me, this will be your funeral clothes.”

Then he covered Xie Xi’s head with the coat.

Xie Xi, “…” You are so powerful, I can’t afford to upset you!

Xie Xi blankly swam in. Due to his previous experience, he held his breath to protect his internal organs. Even so, his hand wasn’t shielded and the skin of the back festered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xie Xi wasn’t masochistic. He was afraid of pain, even if he wouldn’t die. Thus, he hastened to confirm the rubbish collection.

The progress bar of the side task rose to 5%.

This pile of garbage was 40,000 tons. Good!

He collected it so thoroughly that not only was the rubbish gone, the dirty water was also purified. It was a pity that the injuries on his body couldn’t be restored.

The fourth prince frowned and floated there.

Xie Xi looked back at him. “Your Highness, I haven’t lied to you.”

This ability was really against the sky. It couldn’t be explained with logic.

The fourth prince didn’t seem to think it was evil and took Xie Xi’s hand again. “Follow me.”

Xie Xi didn’t have an opportunity to speak at all. This humanoid flying car was very fast and rushed out in the blink of an eye.

Roast Pork Bun hung onto Xie Xi’s collar and was smashed by the sea water. He called out, “Stimulation, stimulating, this is very exciting~”

Xie Xi, “…” If he wasn’t afraid of revealing himself, he would really pull out this bun and spank him.

The fourth prince took him to another garbage dump. Xie Xi was extremely happy that the fourth prince was helping him fill up his side task.

They moved back and forth for a night and Xie Xi collected a total of 330,000 tons of garbage, making the task progress rise to 33%.

The fourth prince finally stopped. He looked at the clothes on Xie Xi and said, “Go back.”

Xie Xi hadn’t collected enough but he had no say and could only follow.

The fourth prince entered the palace and directly took Xie Xi back to his palace.

There was no one in the palace, not even a servant. The fourth prince approached and ripped off the rotten clothes.

It had been so tightly wrapped that Xie Xi wasn’t hurt. It was just his left hand exposed to the outside that was very miserable. After collecting so much rubbish, the back of his hand was bloody.

The fourth prince frowned slightly and ordered, “Wait here.’

Xie Xi floated in the palace and waited.

The fourth prince soon came back and the cold aroma around his body was heavier. Xie Xi saw that he was holding a small box in his hand. Once the prince opened it, the smell of medicine emerged. This was the smell that was always around the fourth prince.

Xie Xi was stunned.

The fourth prince leaned over and carefully applied medicine to Xie Xi’s hand.

The effect of this medicine was surprisingly good. Once it was applied, Xie Xi’s hand wasn’t in pain anymore and the wound was slowly healing.

What a good medicine!

The fourth prince covered his hand before kneeling down and applying the medicine to his tail.

Xie Xi looked down at the focused prince and felt a bit embarrassed.

The fourth prince was really mysterious and hard to understand.

The medicine was applied and Xie Xi was also covered by this faint aroma. He didn’t know why but Xie Xi had a thought. Did the prince smell like this because he often used the medicine?

Why? Was it due to the garbage in the shallow waters?

Xie Xi asked him, “Why was Your Highness there?”

The fourth prince didn’t answer the question. “This medicine has a side effect and you will be full of weakness. Go inside to lie down. You can go back once it is better.”

Xie Xi wanted to speak but he felt that his body was exhausted of strength. He couldn’t even maintain his upright posture.

The fourth prince wasn’t surprised and directly carried him into a room, settling him on a bed.

Xie Xi hadn’t expected the side effect to be so strong. Not only was he full of weakness, he couldn’t even lift a finger!

The fourth prince spoke again, “Don’t worry, once the effect of the medicine is over, your injuries will be gone and you will return to the same state as before.”

Xie Xi was startled and opened his mouth, only to find that even talking was laborious.

The fourth prince whispered, “Don’t use this ability in the future and don’t approach the garbage dumps.”

Xie Xi thought he had misheard and struggled to open his mouth. “Why?” The rubbish hurt so many merpeople. Wasn’t he protecting them by cleaning it up?

The fourth prince’s pupils shrank and his voice contained no temperature. “Because it is useless.”

Xie Xi was shocked.

The fourth prince stared at him and explained slowly, “The garbage can be cleaned up but as long as the land people are there, new rubbish will soon be born. Your ability is really interesting but it is unfortunately uselessly. It will just make the land people blindly dump more garbage.”

Xie Xi heard a bitter hatred in the last words.

The fourth prince’s voice became much gentler. “Rest, I will help you take leave from the guard’s office.”

Xie Xi looked up at him and found that the grey eyes were as deep as a tomb.

The fourth prince left and it took a while for Xie Xi’s spirit to return.

He unwittingly glanced at the lower right corner.

There was a new colour on the progress bar for the main task.

Black…

8%…

What was going on?

The only remaining person was the eldest prince. How did it suddenly appear and had also risen to 8%?
