CHAPTER 62 (1/2)

Lost Atlantis 33

In the past few days of Colin’s ‘vacation’, the second prince and third prince sent him messages.

Second prince: [Little Colin, what’s the trouble at home? Just look for me if you need me.”

Third prince: [Once things are finished, don’t act lazy at home.]

This translated to: come back quickly!

Xie Xi’s unified reply: [Thank you for the second (third) prince’s care. It is nothing urgent and I will return as soon as possible.] It was followed by a smiling expression.

The second and third child’s hearts thumped. If they weren’t busy then they would’ve rushed over to find Colin.

Xie Xi spent a few days with the fourth prince. His initial impression of the fourth prince had completely disappeared.

Some aspects of the fourth prince were similar to the sixth prince. They liked one person and did things their own way. Some places were similar to the fifth prince in that they felt enthusiasm about being close to people. If Xie Xi thought about it, the fourth prince was also similar to the second prince. His love for the people underwater was no less than the second prince. Meanwhile, the sensitivity to danger was no worse than the third prince…

Each of the six brothers had their own characteristics while being similar to each other.

Well, they were parts of one person’s soul after all. It was normal for them to be similar.

Xie Xi’s side mission was finally completed after several ups and downs.

Collecting garbage was much more stable than collecting love. Once he reached the full one million tons, pouring it out didn’t reduce the progress. It just stayed completed.

After a few days of running around with the fourth prince, the fourth prince told him, “You should stop using your ability for the time being.”

They had traveled all over the land that bordered the sea, returning all the garbage.

This occurred all over the world, causing turmoil among land-based society.

The people arranged by the fourth prince started to mobilize public opinion, condemning the damage caused to the sea and criticizing humanity’s self-destructive behaviour.

The land people knew about the underwater people but had very little contact with each other. Many people were suspicious.

Now that the garbage dumps were returned, the land people realized that their neighbours under the sea were angry. The garbage piles appeared so quickly and abruptly that they felt the mysterious power of the sea.

Xie Xi didn’t come up with these ideas. There were professionals at politics under the sea and they knew how to seize this opportunity to deter people.

Xie Xi saw that his ‘vacation’ was coming to an end and it was time to leave the fourth prince.

The progress with the fourth prince was also great. In the past few days, it had risen to 16.6% and was almost full.

However, Xie Xi had previous experience and didn’t dare be neglectful. He made sure to get along very well with the prince.

They returned to the palace and the fourth prince reminded him, “You must not pick up garbage in my absence, do you understand?”

Xie Xi had heard this many times but he knew that the fourth prince was worried about his safety and nodded. “Yes, I will obey Your Highness’ order.”

The fourth prince smiled. “Sit down, I will give you medicine.”

He no longer put garbage on the land but Xie Xi still insisted on cleaning up the heavily polluted areas. In any case, the garbage could be stacked up and his items bar was empty. He simply did it to benefit the sea.

He hoped that the lovely little mermaids could swim happily in the water instead of being covered with scars.

The fourth prince also accompanied him and gave him a special set of clothes. Unfortunately, Xie Xi needed to stretch out his hand to collect the garbage and his left hand was still injured.

The fourth prince carefully gave him medicine and after a while, Xie Xi felt powerless.

The fourth prince said, “Go and get some sleep.”

Xie Xi couldn’t see him anymore and replied in a dazed manner, “Okay.”

The fourth prince held his hand as usual and took him into a room. This time, he actually hugged Xie Xi.

Xie Xi’s eyes slightly widened in a surprised manner.

The fourth prince stared straight ahead but his Adam’s Apple moved up and down. He ordered, “Go to sleep.”

It was a few steps from the outside to inside the room. The prince didn’t wait for Xie Xi to struggle and directly placed him down.

Forget it, Xie Xi was too lazy to care.

Xie Xi slept for a while and once he woke up, his hand had recovered to his original condition. There were no scars at all.

Then he heard a conversation outside.

Roast Pork Bun was also sleeping. Once Xie Xi woke up, the kitten yawned and went outside to look. “It is the eldest prince!”

Xie Xi’s ears pricked up and he moved over curiously, wondering if he should go out or not.

The black progress of 8% made Xie Xi feel very concerned. This must be from the eldest prince but they had barely spoken. How did it suddenly rise so much?

The more he didn’t understand, the more curious he became. Xie Xi leaned forward.

He took a step and heard the eldest prince ask, “How did you do that with the garbage?”

The fourth prince said, “You shouldn’t ask. Just use this event to let the land people think about their behaviour.”

The eldest prince paused and unexpectedly didn’t ask again.

The two of them were silent for a moment and Xie Xi almost thought that the eldest prince had left. He didn’t expect the prince to suddenly say, “The attack on Sixth Brother, were you the one who arranged it?”

Xie Xi was startled. He pricked his ears further and wanted to know who had done it.

In fact, Xie Xi had previously doubted the fourth prince. He did have enough motivation.

The fourth prince witnessed the suffering of many people and hated the land people. Unfortunately, the underwater people always had a conservative attitude towards war and wasn’t willing to start it.

If the sacrifice of a useless prince could be exchanged for peace and prosperity under the sea, the fierce militant faction wouldn’t hesitate.

However, after accompanying each other for a few days, Xie Xi knew that the fourth prince wouldn’t do such a thing. He didn’t need something to set off the fire. If he hadn’t been worried that a war would bring more disaster, he would’ve already fought with the land people.

The fourth prince smiled and replied, “I want the land people to die but I don’t want my brother to die.”

The eldest prince didn’t say anything.

The fourth prince wondered, “Fifth Brother isn’t right these days. You…” He hadn’t finished when he changed his words, “What’s the matter?”

Xie Xi was curious and wanted to know what was going on outside.

Roast Pork Bun relayed it in real time, “The eldest prince turned pale and nearly fainted.”

Xie Xi, “?”

What happened to the eldest prince?

The fourth prince held onto the eldest prince and frowned. “You should pay attention to your body? How many days has it been since you’ve slept? The government affairs are never-ending. If you continue like this, you won’t be able to last.” The eldest prince replied in a slightly hoarse voice, “Recently my sleep hasn’t been very good.”

“You only sleep for four or five hours a day. This is too little.”

“No, I’m used to it.” The eldest prince continued, “I’ve just been dreaming lately.”

The fourth prince didn’t think too much. “Proper rest is necessary.”

The eldest prince was about to answer when his eyes suddenly narrowed. “Who’s there?”
