Chapter 19: Escape PART 1
Ouyang Xiaoli should have been happy to hear Xia Yi say he wouldn’t have babies with him, but for some reason, his mood suddenly soured.
He returned to his room.
He calmed down for half an hour.
He didn’t know what was happening in the living room, nor did he know if Keda had left.
Ouyang Xiaoli admitted that his initial intentions in raising the little mermaid were impure. He knew the Great Elder’s prophecy and the little mermaid’s abilities.
As for now… whether his intentions were pure or not, he wasn’t sure anymore.
Anyway, he was in a very bad mood.
In the little mermaid’s world, having babies seemed very casual. Whoever gave him delicious food, whoever was kind to him, he would be willing to have babies with?
If things didn’t go his way, he would act like this.
Like a child.
Ouyang Xiaoli felt a little irritated.
So, why was he, a grown man, competing with an undisciplined child?
In the living room, Xia Yi was sobbing uncontrollably, saying pitifully: “Wuwu wuwu… I… I won’t eat potato soup anymore, Keda Gege. I want to drink nutrient solution. Tell Ouyang not to be angry.”
His small hand tightly gripped Keda’s sleeve, his eyes were blurry with tears, and he was extremely helpless.
Keda felt heartbroken.
“It’s not your fault.” He patted the little mermaid’s head gently, but the next second he cursed: “The boss is a jerk! Why have babies with him? Let him regret it!”
“Don’t talk about Ouyang!”
The little mermaid fiercely shouted at him.
Keda: “…”
I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.
Soon, the room door opened, and the man walked out with a cold expression. Keda then noticed that the boss had changed his clothes. Special custom-made camouflage pants enveloped the man’s strong legs, looking long and powerful. Martin boots gleamed coldly, the man’s eyes were cold and deep, almost his entire body was enveloped in black.
His aura was sharp and dangerous, clearly prepared for battle.
He glanced lightly at the two people in the living room and calmly put on his gloves.
Keda was stunned: “Boss, didn’t you just go to the Silver Sea Empire yesterday?”
Normally, the boss wouldn’t go to the Silver Sea Empire two days in a row. It was too dangerous. Once a week was the safest. But the boss’s current attire clearly indicated he was going to the Silver Sea Empire.
However, Ouyang Xiaoli didn’t even give him or the little mermaid an extra glance.
He put on his gloves, sent a message to Tang Si and Xiao Mo about going to the Silver Sea Empire as he left, and then turned off his brain computer.
Leaving behind a cold back.
Keda muttered: “It’s over, it’s over, the boss is really angry.” He paced back and forth in the living room, scratching his head and biting his nails.
Xia Yi sniffed.
“No, I have to stop him.” Keda couldn’t rest easy. He quickly left after saying a few words: “Xia Yi, just stay in the room, I’ll be right back. The boss consumed too much energy yesterday and was injured. Going to the Silver Sea Empire now is suicide! Damn it, Xiao Mo and the others didn’t persuade him either!”
Xia Yi stood up abruptly: “He’s injured?”
Keda didn’t have time to say much, he mumbled: “He didn’t let me say, afraid you wouldn’t eat the grapes… It’s okay, the boss has been injured many times before, it’s not just this once.”
Xia Yi was stunned.
He panicked: “I, I also want to go, Keda Gege, it’s all my fault!” He shouldn’t have been so willful and made Ouyang angry. Actually, this morning he just… just wanted Ouyang to comfort him.
He didn’t really have to eat potatoes.
Xia Yi regretted it immensely.
“No!”
Keda refused without hesitation.
The underground city was so dangerous. He couldn’t even guarantee his own safety, let alone protecting Xia Yi. Keda was very self-aware.
“Be good, be obedient.”
Keda immediately closed the door.
No matter how hard Xia Yi pulled on the door, it wouldn’t budge. He cried anxiously: “Open the door, wuwu, Keda Gege, open the door…”
However, Keda had already run away.
Xia Yi stood up and ran to the balcony, grabbing the iron railing and looking down. He could only see Keda’s back, and in a short while, he was gone.
So he sat on the ground and cried.
Xiao Ya had been hiding in a corner secretly looking up, and he saw Ouyang Xiaoli coldly walking through the alley without even looking at him. Then, a young boy anxiously ran away.
Xiao Ya: “???”
He looked up again and saw the little mermaid on the balcony desperately pulling on the iron railing, as if trying to escape, his eyes swollen from crying.
Xiao Ya instantly straightened up!
He had indeed guessed right. The leader of East City wanted to imprison the little mermaid and make him have babies with him.
Without thinking, Xiao Ya ran upstairs. He only realized he didn’t have access when he reached the door, and his heart became anxious.
“Little fish! Little fish! Can you hear me? I’m here to help you. I can’t open the door, can you open it from the inside?”
Xia Yi vaguely heard the noise at the door. He wiped away his tears and walked over from the balcony: “Who are you?”
His voice was still choked with sobs.
Xiao Ya quickly shouted: “My name is Xiao Ya. You saved me at the Star Stone Market.”
He paused and said, “Now that the leader of East City is gone, you should quickly get out. Your mental power can open the door!”
This was the key point.
Xia Yi had heard Keda nagging a lot, knowing that there were many bad people in the underground city, so he was very vigilant: “I haven’t saved anyone, you’re lying.”
Xiao Ya: “I’m not lying.”
“Last time, I secretly entered the Star Stone Market and was plotted against by Lao Er Hu’s mermaid, almost beaten to death. You healed me, such powerful power must have consumed a lot of energy. I saw the leader of East City holding you that day, you were unconscious. I’m sorry, it was all because of me being saved.”
Xiao Ya felt very guilty.
Xia Yi was stunned and vaguely remembered the scene that day. It seemed that something like that happened. He suddenly felt sleepy that day, and Ouyang carried him back.
He asked softly: “Can I open the door?”
“Yes!”
“The Great Elder said that the mental power of a natural golden mermaid is extremely strong and invincible, let alone opening a lock. Little fish, you just need to concentrate, and you can open the door. Once you’ve completely gotten rid of the leader of East City, I’ll send you back to the sea.”
Xiao Ya was very excited.
He never thought he could do something for the golden little mermaid. If the Great Elder knew, he would surely be comforted.
Xia Yi didn’t pay attention to what Xiao Ya said later. He only heard that he could open the door, so he closed his eyes and concentrated.
His forehead was slightly sweaty.
He didn’t know how to use mental power. His brother had taught him many times, asking him to use mental power to attack sharks, but he couldn’t learn.
Xia Yi felt that he was really stupid!
The door wouldn’t budge. Xia Yi scratched his head, not knowing what to do. He really wasn’t a qualified mermaid, he didn’t even know how to use mental power, his heart filled with discouragement.
Xiao Ya was still cheering him on outside: “Don’t give up, come on, you can do it!”
Xia Yi shook his head: “I can’t.”
“Let me help you.” A casual woman’s voice sounded behind Xiao Ya, it was unclear how much she had heard.
Xiao Ya turned around abruptly!
He took a few steps back, vigilantly staring at the woman. After a few seconds, he recognized her and hesitated: “You are… the leader of East City’s person?”
The leader of East City had four people around him: Tang Si, Xiao Mo, Keda, and Zuo Yinwan.
This information was known throughout the underground city.
Moreover, Zuo Yinwan was a beautiful woman, and the leaders of North, South, and East City were all interested in her. Xiao Ya couldn’t possibly not recognize her.
Zuo Yinwan glanced at the door: “Whether or not she’s the leader of East City’s person seems unrelated to whether the door can be opened. Are you sure you’re concerned about that?”
Xiao Ya stared at her: “Do you have a way?”
“Of course.” Zuo Yinwan lowered her head to adjust her brain computer. After sliding it twice, she leaned against the door, and the door opened: “If you want to leave, hurry up.”
Her face was smirking.
She certainly didn’t have access to Ouyang’s room, but the underground city’s technology was backward. Couldn’t she ask someone from the Silver Sea Empire to help her get access?
Of course, she could.
It’s just that she hadn’t used it.
What she wanted was Ouyang’s heart, what she wanted was wholehearted love. She wouldn’t use this access unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xia Yi hesitated.
The door opened, and he saw the woman outside. This woman gave him a bad feeling, and… why did she have access?
Did Ouyang give it to her?
