nLost Atlantis 11

nThe third prince had been to a battlefield and wasn’t angry. At this moment, he was impassioned and he shook the mood of the people on the seabed.

nThere was originally an irreconcilable contradiction between the sea and land. Now the prince’s death caused it to ignite and explode in an instant.

n“The land people are too deceitful!”

n“How dare they kill our prince! It is outrageous!”

n“The pro-land dogs are too optimistic. The land people are pooping on our heads!”

n“Down with the land people! Down with the land people! Down with the land people!”

nThis slogan was chanted, the loud noise causing waves to surge. Xie Xi was in the centre and became unstable from this vortex.

nThe fifth prince grabbed him by the waist and pulled him to the side.

nXie Xi looked up while in this bad posture and saw hatred in the fifth prince’s carefree eyes.

nXie Xi’s heart thumped.

nHe checked the information and was very clear that the fifth prince was part of the land-faction. He dissociated himself from the struggle for the three and borrowed his mother’s attitude, supporting the peace-minded monarch.

nHe didn’t want to start a war with the land people and hoped that the two sides would live in peace, not interfering with each other. Now… the death of the sixth prince broke this possibility.

nIf even the fifth prince of the pro-land faction felt hatred towards the land people, imagine the others.

nThe sixth prince wasn’t valued but he was still a prince of the empire, a symbol of the empire.

nThe land people killed him, which was tantamount to declaring war on the sea floor!

nPutting aside his task, Xie Xi didn’t like war at all, not to mention that he couldn’t let the sixth prince die.

nThere is a new tip in the lower right corner: Please note that the current save point will disappear after 10 minutes.

nThis meant there was no chance if he didn’t load the file now. Did he still need to think about it? Xie Xi chose to read the file.

nAfter a slight dizziness, Xie Xi returned to two days ago and stood in front of the sixth prince.

nThe sixth prince was asking him, “What’s wrong?”

nXie Xi couldn’t recall the situation for a moment and replied in the same way, “Nothing.”

nThen he remembered the save point and felt a bit flustered. Xie Xi sighed and tried to ask, “When will Your Highness leave?”

nHe shouldn’t have asked. It was only after he finished speaking that he remembered.

nSure enough, the sixth prince said, “Tomorrow morning.”

n“This subordinate knows this is offensive but… “Xie Xi looked up seriously. “Your Highness, can you not go to the land?”

nThe sixth prince was shocked.

nXie Xi decided to play a straight ball. “The land is dangerous. Why should your noble body take the risk?”

nThese words flowed into Sirius’ heart like a warm current. His eyes lightened and he said softly, “The land isn’t as dangerous as you think. I’ve been up there many times and it’s fine.”

nHow was it fine? He lost his life!

nXie Xi asked anxiously, “Must you go?”

nThe sixth prince’s heart was warm. He normally didn’t speak many words but now he was talkative. “Rest assured, I will come back in two or three days.”

nXie Xi didn’t care about the progress bar rising and asked again, “Can this subordinate go with you?”

nThe sixth prince’s body stiffened. He obviously didn’t expect Xie Xi to say such a thing.

nXie Xi couldn’t let him die again. He stared at the prince and wondered, “Is it okay?”

nThe sixth prince looked at him with puzzled eyes. “Why?”

nThe excuse that Xie Xi came up with was very lame. “This subordinate hasn’t been up to land and wants to see it.”

n“You just said that the land is dangerous.”

nXie Xie Xi blocked him. “Didn’t Your Highness say that the land isn’t as dangerous as I think?”

nThe prince was so worried that he had forgotten.

nHowever, the more he thought about it, the faster his heartbeat became.

nFor so many years, almost no one had taken the initiative to speak to him, let alone wish him well. The person in front of him gave him food and sent him his father’s gift. Now…

nThe sixth prince’s eyes were extremely gentle. “Don’t worry, I really will be fine. I will come back in two or three days.”

nXie Xie Xi was obstinate. “If there really is nothing wrong, why can’t you take a subordinate? Your Highness, do you have anyone to serve you while travelling?”

n“…” The sixth prince was used to being alone and there was no one to serve him.

nXie Xi said this but he hadn’t thought the sixth prince actually went alone and died in a foreign land. This was too miserable.

nHe slowed down his voice. “Your Highness, take this subordinate to see the world. I have never left the sea.”

nThe sixth prince couldn’t refuse this softness. “Okay, I will take you to see it. The land is also very interesting.”

nXie Xi was a land person and how could he be curious about the land? However, he was happy to be able to block the sixth prince’s death and smile. “Yes! Your Highness, I will see you tomorrow!”

nThe sixth prince was swayed by his smile and called out his name. “Sein.”

nXie Xi was used to this name and replied, “Hmm?”

nThe sixth prince shook his head. “It’s nothing. You still have errands to run so go ahead.”

nThen he smiled. The different coloured pupils gave off an unknown feeling but once he smiled, the colour lightened. It was as if the clear sky was merging with the gentlest sunrise, creating a gentle and beautiful light.

nXie Xie Xi felt awkward and left with a bow.

nRoast Pork Bun screamed, “Really handsome! He is worthy of being my future father!”

nXie Xi raised the bun and rubbed his little head. “Who is your father, huh?”

nRoast Pork Bun spoke unclear words, “Mommy is baba, ouch ouch…”

nXie Xi rubbed harder.

nThanks to his last experience, Xie Xi didn’t waste time going to the eldest prince and fourth prince. He used the Camouflage technique to fill in the identity of his other two faces, giving himself a fake identity.

nIt was lucky he had the reserve faces or these things would’ve worried him to death.

nEven so, it was troublesome. Xie Xi could only hope that this time, the sixth prince was successfully saved and he wouldn’t have to load the file again!

nXie Xi held Roast Pork Bun and went to sleep. The next day, he was full of energy and psychologically prepared.

nThe sixth prince was really ‘poor.’ The fifth prince could freely go to see a concert while the sixth prince had to go on a business trip, only bringing Xie Xi. In addition, Xie Xi was the one who volunteered to go.

nHalfway through the bow, the sixth prince smiled and helped him up. “The land is different from the sea. There is no need to be so courteous.”

n“This subordinate is stupid. There are some things I don’t understand so I am asking Your Highness to forgive me.”

nThe sixth prince corrected him. “Don’t call me Your Highness or call yourself my subordinate.”

nXie Xi pretended to be surprised. “How can this be done?”

nThe sixth prince explained, “The land is different from the sea. They have abolished the monarchy and their social structure is more equal.”

nXie Xi certainly knew this but still had to pretend to be surprised. “The land people are really wild. They don’t understand courtesy.”

nThe sixth prince was patient. “Isn’t equality good? No matter the status, everyone has a chance to get ahead.’’

nXie Xi’s brain circuits were attuned to the undersea people. “Still, how can civilians compare to the royal family?”

n“Why can’t they compare?”

n“Only the royal family has strong mana and can transform their perfect legs.”

nThe sixth prince’s pupils shrank. “If you eat enough, who can grow these two pieces of meat?”

nXie Xi was surprised.

nRoast Pork Bun was different and cried out with wonder, “A handsome guy speaking such words!”

nXie Xi, “…” The good atmosphere was destroyed by this roast pork.

nThe sixth prince glanced at Xie Xi. “If you go ashore, you have to walk on legs.”

nXie Xi had walked on legs for 19 years and was probably more proficient than the sixth prince. It was a pity he still had to act. “Is it hard?”

n“It will be hard at first but don’t worry, I’ll help you.”

n“Then I will trouble Your Highness.”

n“Call me Sirius.”

nXie Xi called his name and the sixth prince smiled. “It is the first time I’ve felt that my name is so nice.”

nXie Xi, “…”

nThe damn Roast Pork Bun shouted, “Ahhh, the handsome man can talk!”

nXie Xi really wanted to throw this roast pork away!

nThe sixth prince spoke again, “We will arrive on land in one hour. I will first help you transform your legs.”

nXie Xi’s mana wasn’t sufficient enough to have legs but the sixth prince could help him.

nXie Xi nodded.

nThe sixth prince asked Xie Xi to sit on the chair with his tail to one side.

nThen the sixth prince knelt before him and placed a hand on the fish tail. It was really quite wonderful. The sixth prince always had a sullen face in the past and didn’t look at strangers. After people became familiar with him, they would find that his character was simple. It was just that he didn’t know how to get along with people.

nIt made Xie Xi think of himself. Before coming to this inexplicable world, he was also like this. He was abandoned by his father, abandoned by his mother and isolated by the whole world. He could only live alone in his own world, dazed and helpless…

n“It might be a bit uncomfortable. Please bear with it.” The sixth prince softly told him.

nXie Xi’s spirit returned and he nodded. “It is fine…”

nBefore he could finish, he experienced an unbearable itching. It would’ve felt better to experience pain than this terrible itching. It was as if his whole tail was lightly electrocuted.

nThe sixth prince look up and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Is it painful?”

nXie Xi bit his lower lip and shook his head. “No.”

n“I have controlled the strength so it shouldn’t hurt. Still, I will do it a bit slower.”

nXie Xi would rather he hurry up and finish it. This was too uncomfortable.

nThe always unpleasant Roast Pork Bun covered his eyes with a paw, squinting through a slight gap. “Good, good se*ual air!”

nIf Xie Xi could move then he would grab this roast pork and throw him away!

nThere was some silence in the cabin. Once the sixth prince’s hands were removed, Xie Xi was finally freed from this damn numbness. He took a breath and calmed his emotions.

nThe sixth prince’s Adam’s Apple moved as he whispered, “Take a break. I will call you when we are almost at the shore.”

nXie Xi wasn’t sure when the accident would happen and didn’t want to be separated from him. “I’m fine. Your Majesty, stay here.”

nThe sixth prince, “…”

nXie Xi didn’t notice any problems with his words but the progress bar rushed to 13%, surpassing the fifth prince!

nXie Xi was stunned and couldn’t figure out exactly what was going on.

nThe sixth prince coughed, the tips of his ears slightly red as he asked, “Do you want to get up and try walking?”

nXie Xi, who was afraid the prince would die after leaving his sight, replied with a simple, “Okay.”

nHe had been walking for 19 years. How could he forget it right away? Unexpectedly, he found that his legs were powerless and useless once he stood up.

n“Eh…” Xie Xi almost fell.

nThe sixth prince quickly held him. “Don’t worry.”

nXie Xi grabbed his arm as support and barely managed to stand.

nThe sixth prince was afraid Xie Xi would be disappointed and explained, “You are used to a fish tail. Now that it has become two legs, you need to slowly adapt.”

nXie Xi was a genuine two-legged being! Unexpectedly, he couldn’t walk after a few days of having a fish tail!

n“Your Highness, sit down? I’ll try while supporting myself against the wall.”

n“It doesn’t matter. You can hold onto me.”

nXie Xi was still worried about the prince dying and wasn’t polite. He held onto the prince’s arms and tried to adapt to his legs.

nAfter Xie Xi gritted his teeth for more than 10 minutes, the sixth prince smiled. “Very good.”

nXie Xi, “…” How was this good? He was bow-legged.

nThe sixth prince continued, “When I just gained legs, I treated it as swimming with two tails.”

n“You were very young at the time.”

n“My big brothers could walk on their feet when they were three years old.”

nXie Xi’s heart stirred as he thought about the sentence the sixth prince just said. If everyone could eat well, would they grow legs? Were the legs innate from birth?

nXie Xi told him, “You are no worse than anyone else.”

nAs soon as he said this, the blue progress bar shot up again to 15%!

nXie Xi was a bit excited. If the sixth prince’s progress exceeded 17%, did this mean he didn’t have to pick up so many fish?

nBy the time they finally landed, Xie Xi had adapted to his legs and could walk steadily with the sixth prince’s help.

nThe sixth prince said, “Drink this.”

nThis was a water retention agent developed by the underwater world. After taking it, the mermaids wouldn’t become dehydrated on land. However, there was a time limit on it. It only lasted for up to three days.

nXie Xi drank it.

nThe sixth prince saw the white neck. His eyes widened and he looked away.

nXie Xi put down the empty bottle. “It tastes good. It is sweet.”

nThe sixth prince smiled. “Get ready. We’re going ashore now.”

nXie Xi nodded. “No problem.”

nWhat was the problem? He was a native land person! It was a pity that this thought disappeared as soon as he left the water.

nIt was dry, hot and uncomfortable.

nXie Xi frowned. It was like he was walking into a sauna. He couldn’t open his eyes from the hot air blowing into his face.

nThe sixth prince’s voice was heard in his ears. “Don’t be afraid. Try to breathe.”

nXie Xi held his arm, closed his eyes and breathed for a bit until he finally got used to it.

nWho would’ve thought of this? A land person wouldn’t be able to adapt to the air on land one day.

nA faint coolness came from the palm of the sixth prince. Xie Xi found that he was covered with a thin layer of water and the hot feeling faded. He was suddenly more comfortable.

nThe sixth prince told him, “Adapt slowly. There are no land people here.”

nXie Xi’s body was covered with a faint layer of water. If ordinary people saw this then they would probably yell.

nXie Xi saw the thin beads of sweat on the sixth prince and knew that maintaining the water was draining his power. Xie Xi shook his head and said, “No, I have to adapt sooner or later…”

nHe hadn’t finished when he felt the air splitting apart.

nXie Xi was surprised but his dull body couldn’t avoid the incoming bullet.

nIt was aimed for the middle of his forehead and he would undoubtedly die.

nThen the sixth prince took Xie Xi into his arms, blocking the bullet with his back.

nXie Xi’s eyes widened.

nSirius’ brow was furrowed and his different coloured eyes extremely gentle. “…Go back to the boat.” Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

nXie Xi didn’t delay and immediately loaded the file!

n***

nThe Central Garden.

nJiang Xie looked at the degree of goodwill.

nThe many days of ‘red rain’ finally stopped but he felt a bit complicated about the floating green 1.

nThe goodwill had gone up. It was green.

nIt was really doing something for the occasion.

n
