Chapter 70
“No, Mr. Bo is in danger. Third young master, please stay here first and don’t come out.”
He Zheng frowned, whispered instructions to Bo Zhijin who was beside him, then turned around and disappeared in front of the two of them with a gloomy expression.
At that moment, no matter how innocent Bai Junluo was, he was aware of the possible dangers outside.
He raised his head and looked at Bo Zhijin beside him with a pair of clear and bright sapphire eyes, panic evident on his face.
“Ah Jin, what happened outside? Will Bo Sijue be okay?”
Bo Zhijin looked at the worry and anxiety on the young man’s fair face and wanted to blurt out the truth.
But thinking of He Zheng’s instructions, he closed his mouth again and shook his head at Bai Junluo in front of him.
He couldn’t let Luoluo know about this now; otherwise, he would definitely run out to find his cousin, which would create even more trouble.
“Luoluo, let’s stay here for a while. My cousin will come to pick you up later.”
He reached out and patted Bai Junluo’s shoulder, hoping to make him feel more at ease.
But when Bai Junluo saw him like this, he felt even more panicked.
He gritted his teeth, his beautiful and delicate cheeks stained with deep sorrow, and there was a hint of pleading in his anxious voice.
“Ah Jin, please, just tell me what happen outside! I don’t want anything to happen to Bo Sijue.”
“Luoluo…”
Bo Zhijin’s face was hesitant, and he hesitated to speak.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll go out on my own.”
Bai Junluo suddenly walked around him, raised his legs, and headed toward the door.
Bo Zhijin quickly caught up with the young man, held his hand, and told him the truth.
“Luoluo, don’t go out; it’s very dangerous outside. Cousin is very busy now. Let’s not go out and cause trouble for him.”
Bai Junluo lowered his eyes, feeling uncontrollably panicked. Was he in danger? What to do? He didn’t want anything to happen to that man.
“Ah Jin, just let me go out and accompany Bo Sijue! I won’t be in any danger.”
Bai Junluo pulled his hand away, turned around, and prepared to walk out the door, a determined look on his face.
He wanted to go out and see if the man was safe. Only that way could he calm his restless heart.
“I’m sorry, Luoluo, but whether it’s because of me or my cousin, I can’t let you go out.”
Bo Zhijin took the young man’s hand again and trapped him in his arms.
He must not let Luoluo go out and encounter danger.
Thud, thud…
Several loud noises were heard outside again, mixed with several miserable screams.
Cold sweat broke out on Bai Junluo’s forehead. The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and he started to struggle fiercely in the man’s arms.
“Ah Jin, please let me go first and let me go out and take a look.”
“No…”
Just as the two were arguing, a loud noise reached their ears.
The next moment, the cruise ship beneath them tilted directly as if it had been hit by something huge.
The two of them lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Bai Junluo, who had been released, took advantage of this gap to stand up and rush outside quickly.
“Luoluo…”
Bo Zhijin stood up, raised his feet, and hurriedly chased after him.
When he came outside, Bai Junluo saw several large holes blown out everywhere on the originally flat deck, with thick smoke and fire all around.
As an aquatic creature, he was naturally very afraid of fire, and his body took a few steps back unconsciously.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of a certain man’s figure and mustered up the courage to move forward while carefully avoiding the source of fire.
No matter what, he had to find that man.
Bai Junluo braved all kinds of hardships and finally reached the empty deck at the front of the cruise ship.
When he saw the tragic scene in front of him, his sapphire eyes widened unconsciously, horror etched on his face.
At the same time, Bo Sijue, who was located at the front of the deck, was half-bent over the plywood. His ascetic and dignified face was full of stern expressions, and he appeared as scary as a demon from hell.
Next to him, He Zheng frowned, troubled.
“Mr. Bo, the other party is obviously well prepared. They actually used explosives that are prohibited in international waters. I’m afraid we will lose this time.”
After the man listened to his words, a sharp cold light flashed through his obsidian-black pupils, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.
Then he looked serious and began to gradually make arrangements for the men beside him.
“Gather all the firepower of the entire cruise ship here. No matter what, we must kill them before they get close to the cruise ship.”
Everyone’s breathing became rapid, and the atmosphere gradually grew tense.
At that moment, Bai Junluo, who was not far away, finally found Bo Sijue in the crowd.
The next moment, he strode excitedly and ran toward the man, unaware that the danger in the distance was about to land in front of him.
“Bo Sijue…”
When the man on the deck heard that familiar voice, he turned his head and looked back, only to see that petite figure running toward him. His face immediately turned cold.
Damn it, didn’t he asked Bo Zhijin to look after him? How could the boy still run out? Each one of them was useless.
Bo Sijue stood up suddenly and ran in the direction of the young man, feeling extremely worried.
Obviously, when he faced danger just moments ago, he didn’t feel the slightest fear.
But for some reason, the moment he saw that familiar figure, his heart suddenly panicked.
The distance between them gradually narrowed, and a giant object fell from the sky, about to land near Bai Junluo.
Bo Sijue’s dark pupils suddenly shrank, and he pushed Bai Junluo forward fiercely, positioning himself in the explosion area of the bomb.
Boom…
A violent explosion sounded, and in an instant, the entire cruise ship tilted into the sea.
In the bottomless water, humans could not breathe normally.
Bai Junluo revealed his mermaid form, opened his eyes, and searched the sea carefully. He finally found the sinking Bo Sijue not far away.
He quickly swung his fish tail and swam to the man’s side, hugging his waist to prevent him from sinking further.
The man’s face was pale, and red blood oozed from his forehead. It was clear he was seriously injured and had fallen into a coma.
Bai Junluo held a pearl tear that he had just shed in his hand and carefully fed it into the man’s mouth.
He remembered his father telling him that if people on land wanted to go to the deep sea, they must drink the tears of a mermaid to breathe normally in the sea.
Seeing the man’s face gradually soften, Bai Junluo breathed a sigh of relief, but the man was too seriously injured. He had to send him ashore quickly; otherwise, he would die.
But if that happened, all those people would perish, including He Zheng and Bo Zhijin, whom he knew well…
Bai Junluo turned his gaze forward and looked at the people sinking. In that moment, he felt a heartbreaking pain torturing him, making him feel miserable.
He was so useless; he couldn’t do anything now.
Bai Junluo lowered his head, tears streaming heavily from his eyes, helplessly holding the man in place.
At that moment, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.
It was many years ago, in the Crystal Palace of the Mermaid Tribe, when his little daddy, the King of the Deep Sea, took him, who was only five years old, to a group of fiery red corals and gave him a music score.
“Luoluo, if you encounter danger in the sea in the future, you can sing this song. It is the mermaid clan’s hymn, which can only be sung by the king and his heirs. It can summon other fish in the sea to come and help you.”
“Really? That’s so good; Luoluo wants to learn it.”
“Okay, I’ll teach Luoluo.”
“Uh-huh.”
He chanted several times after his daddy but never attracted any fish.
“Daddy, why is it useless for Luoluo to sing?”
The man leaned down and rubbed his head, answering him gently.
“Because Luoluo is not attentive enough. Only when other schools of fish feel your sincerity will they come to help you.”
“Oh, that’s it! Then Daddy, what is sincerity?”
“It’s up to Luoluo to find out for himself.”
.
After the recollection ended, Bai Junluo looked at the tragic scene in front of him, his sapphire-like pupils filled with determination.
Although he had tried many times before, nothing had worked.
But in this critical situation, he wanted to give it a try no matter what.
Bai Junluo hugged the unconscious Bo Sijue and emerged from the water with a fierce tail swing. Then he raised his head and let out a sharp, piercing sound like a ghost in an empty valley.
The sound seemed to have the power to penetrate the entire sea, causing ripples to appear on the surface.
‘Deity of the Ocean, if you truly recognized me, please hear my voice this time and come to help me.’
