I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 409 - 397: The Prince’s Adventure

Mu Ying heard Lulu’s words, his head buzzing, and he really wanted to say, "Girl, you’re definitely going the wrong way!"

He didn’t know which book it was, leading the young astray without a clear explanation.

If it hadn’t been for his desire to see what the true state of this story would be without any disturbances, Mu Ying would have gone to remind her.

Having chosen the wrong direction from the start, one could only imagine the outcome.

Princess Lulu swam all night long, her tail almost cramping, yet she saw no sign of land.

She finally realized that she might not have found the correct direction.

By this time, the Prince’s face was already burning red, and if he stayed in the water any longer, he might have died.

Mu Ying realized that this was different from the fairy tale. In the story, a single sentence had brought the Prince ashore, but in reality, the first-time-out mermaid princess had taken the wrong path, and the Prince nearly died of a fever.

Lulu noticed that the Prince’s condition was very off; no matter how she called, she couldn’t wake him, and his breathing was getting weaker. In a panic, she pulled out two crystal bottles and poured them down the Prince’s throat.

Mu Ying’s eyelids twitched; if she wasn’t mistaken, those should be the Breathing Potion and the Fish Tail Potion, right?

There were even the three little brooms logo of Witch Grocery Store on the bottles!

If he’s sick, why not pour some medicine? Oh, right, mermaids don’t get colds and fevers, and there are no witches selling such potions under the sea—Lulu probably had none.

Did she think the Prince was not adapting to the ocean, so she decided to medicate him to help him adjust?

Before long, the Prince had a shark tail.

Lulu was slightly dissatisfied, poured another bottle down, a shrimp tail; not good enough, try again!

She relentlessly transformed it into a mermaid tail before stopping.

Eventually, the Prince was woken by the choking.

The Fish Tail Potion indeed warmed his body, making him immune to the chill of the seawater, and his fever gradually subsided.

"Was it you who saved me?" Prince Ronald, coughing lightly, looked at the curious red-haired girl, "What did you give me to drink?"

He thought the taste was a bit strange.

"It was the Fish Tail Potion and the Breathing Potion, with these, you won’t be afraid of the ocean," Princess Lulu said, "but unfortunately, you can only move with a fish tail temporarily."

Ronald was still a bit confused, not quite understanding what she meant, until he saw her tail splash up the waves, then he realized something was wrong.

He of course knew about the mermaid legends of this sea region, "Are you the legendary mermaid?"

"Right, and now you are one too! I poured many bottles of Fish Tail Potion to randomly get you a beautiful mermaid tail. I’m still not quite used to the exotic tails that have become popular in town lately. The effect of the Fish Tail Potion only lasts one day, and I actually planned to get you to shore directly, but it’s my first time out, and I seem to be a bit lost about where the shore is. Do you remember the way back? Which way should we swim?" Lulu said somewhat annoyedly.

Ronald keenly picked up on the keywords in her speech; city? Do mermaids also have cities? Could the legendary treasure of the Mist Sea Domain refer to this? Also, what is Fish Tail Potion? Can it temporarily turn him into a mermaid?

He noticed that this girl was naively excessive, without a hint of caution.

"You saved me, and we haven’t properly introduced ourselves yet. I am Prince Ronald from the Green Wall Kingdom. I went out to sea to celebrate my birthday and unfortunately encountered a storm and a shipwreck. I’m lucky to have met you."

"I... I am Princess Lulu, the little princess of the Mermaid Kingdom. I have always been fascinated by the human world. I just came of age yesterday, so I finally got to come up to the surface and then I met you." Lulu said, somewhat shyly.

Her heart pounded wildly. He was a prince too, no wonder he was so handsome!

In the books of the human world, princes are the most graceful, intelligent, and deeply affectionate beings. All the lovely words could be used to describe them.

Ronald was getting used to his new tail and performed a gentlemanly bow, "Your Highness, I’m honored to be saved by you. We are surrounded by the ocean with no compass, and I can’t recognize the way back to shore. Although the shipwreck was terrifying, meeting you is indeed fortunate. May I boldly ask to visit your kingdom? I’ve always been fascinated by the Mermaid Kingdom!"

Lulu was moved by his words. She had longed for the human world for over a decade. Did humans also long for the Mermaid Kingdom?

At that moment, she felt an unparalleled soul connection with Ronald, so she made a bold decision.

"Of course, you may. However, my people are not very welcoming to humans, so you will need to disguise yourself as a mermaid to avoid being discovered. Thankfully, we have magic potions from the witch; you wouldn’t look any different from us mermaids as long as you take the magic potion on time. But after I show you my kingdom, could you take me to see the shore? I have always loved the lively human world and its creative people!"

"Of course!" Ronald responded.

Mu Ying: "..."

Truly, Mu Ying didn’t even know what to say.

Lulu was indeed naive! She bared her soul and shared everything during their first meeting, even daring to bring him to the Undersea Mermaid Kingdom.

This prince might look alright, but were there not plenty of handsome guys in the Mermaid Clan? At his level of attractiveness, they were a dime a dozen—was it the human filter or was it a leg filter?

And his character was still unknown!

Mu Ying was familiar with the Green Wall Kingdom; she did know a bit about the various human kingdoms.

The succession of the throne in this country was quite brutal, competitive, where every royal offspring, be it sons, daughters, or even illegitimate children, had the right to vie for the throne.

The current royal kin of the Green Wall Kingdom that were eligible to inherit included about seventeen or eighteen princes and princesses. It was known as the kingdom where royal titles were least valued.

Ronald, growing up in such an environment, could he really be such an innocent and kind human youth? He must be extremely cunning.

And suddenly, "The Mermaid Princess" was transforming into "Prince’s Undersea Adventure"—an unexpected turn of events for Mu Ying.

The witch’s business too was sifted out by Ronald’s purposeful probing and candidly spoken by Princess Lulu.

Fortunately, Princess Lulu did not know much about the Witch Forest, as witches generally don’t discuss it.

However, the deeds of the witches active under the sea were not spared.

Mu Ying and her companions became the witches about whom Princess Lulu spoke, introducing Ronald to the Witch Grocery, including the prize she received as a member: the Double Petal Dingling Flower.

This lavish spending habit, along with flowers that could communicate over long distances, marvelous magic potions, and magic, all opened a new world for Ronald.

If he could harness these resources, why worry about not prevailing in the battle for the throne?

This Princess Lulu, capable of such extravagant spending, must surely be very beloved, right? He wondered if a marriage alliance might be feasible?
