Chapter 1362: The Mermaid Princess (61)

Pei Jiang had never expected to receive Tang Guo’s blessing. “Thank you. I thought you would…” He thought she would laugh at him for being a fool.

Fuya was a mermaid, and human medicine was useless to her. As long as she had enough water, she could slowly recover. However, having lost her Heart of Divine Power, her lifespan would likely not even surpass that of an ordinary human.

Tang Guo took out the Heart of Divine Power and asked Fuya, “Your Heart of Divine Power.” She handed it to Pei Jiang. The object was of no use to her. It was only because she saw how carefully Pei Jiang treated Fuya that she brought it out.

Feeling the divine power emanating from the heart, Fuya's body gradually began to recover. At last, a trace of life returned to her vacant eyes. After a long while, when she felt that most of her strength had returned, she raised her head and looked at A Guoguo.

“A Guoguo.”

“What is it? Is there something you want to say?”

“Please take the Heart of Divine Power back and return it to my mother.” Fuya lowered her head. “I don’t want it anymore. Living is too painful. With the Heart of Divine Power, I would live for at least a thousand years. I don’t want to live that long.”

She looked forward to her next life.

“You’ve thought it through?”

“I have. I don’t want such a long lifespan.” The longer she lived, the more pain she would feel.

In the end, Tang Guo agreed to Fuya’s request and brought the Heart of Divine Power back to the merfolk clan to return it to Fuya’s mother.

The helicopter carried them away from the endless desert. Pei Jiang left with Fuya, while Yin Yao held Tang Guo’s hand and brought her back to his villa.

The moment they entered, he wrapped her tightly in his arms and whispered into her ear, “A Guoguo, I don’t want eternal life either. Fuya has despaired of love, but I’m filled with hope for it. You were right. If we die sooner, we’ll meet again sooner in our next life.”

“Yao-ge, do you have to be this adorable?” Tang Guo could not hold back and hugged him, planting several kisses on him. “Such an adorable Yao-ge deserves all of my time from now on.”

Yin Yao was thoroughly satisfied. This was exactly what he had been waiting to hear.

“A Guoguo, come back to the Dragon Palace with me, alright?”

“Alright, alright, alright, whatever you say.” Tang Guo smiled brightly. “For all the years to come, I’ll listen only to Yao-ge, okay?”

Joy filled Yin Yao’s heart. Though he could not produce an overly exuberant smile, the happiness in his eyes and at the corners of his lips was impossible to hide.

“Okay.”

Tang Guo first returned to the merfolk clan with Yin Yao and Fuya’s Heart of Divine Power, informing the Merfolk King and Fuya’s mother about everything that had happened.

The Merfolk King flew into a rage, while Fuya’s mother was overcome with grief. On the spot, she begged the Merfolk King to make Qiao Chen suffer and never let him die so easily.

“My Fuya, my poor Fuya…” Holding the blue Heart of Divine Power, tears streamed endlessly down her face. “My poor child only yearned for a beautiful love. Why did she have to meet a beast like Qiao Chen?”

Fuya’s mother wanted to bring her back to the merfolk clan. Since Fuya had not shared her life with a human and had instead suffered such terrible injuries, the merfolk were not heartless people. Everyone sympathized with her misfortune.

If she returned, no one would have any great objections.

But in the end, Fuya refused to come back. She said that she did not want the merfolk’s long lifespan, nor did she have the face to return.
