Chapter 18 It’s My Duty to Protect You

This was the first time Jiang Li had seen beastmen fight since she came to Mingyue. She didn’t expect their explosiveness and destructive power to be so strong. The sea churned with whirlpools, reaching the surface. Wherever they went, everything was in chaos. The surrounding corals were shattered, fish and shrimp were killed by the shockwaves, and their residence was constantly shaking due to the burst of spiritual power from the two…

The pufferfish that came with Jun Changxi was also hiding in a safe place, just like Jiang Li, to avoid being seriously injured. Both of them were fighting fiercely, their eyes red with anger. Just when Jiang Li thought the battle would continue for a while, Jun Yue Lan used himself as bait and seized an opportunity. As Jun Changxi attacked, he dodged to the side, quickly picking up the trident and stabbing it forward. Jun Changxi, who was caught off guard, was naturally hit by the stab. Blood immediately flowed out, Jun Changxi winced in pain, gasping for breath.

He was about to struggle when Jun Yue Lan increased his strength, the trident directly pierced through his shoulder. Blood sprayed everywhere; he was already in so much pain that his facial features were contorted. “Jun Changxi, you’ve lost!” Jun Yue Lan’s voice became cold and stern. But hearing this, Jun Changxi just sneered. “Lost? How could I, Jun Changxi, lose?”

 He slowly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with countless cold light and unwillingness. “How could I lose to someone like you! Jun Yue Lan, I won’t lose!” Jun Changxi roared like a beast, his blood-red eyes became even hotter. He used all his strength, raised his right hand, and wanted to attack Jun Yue Lan by surprise. Fortunately, Jun Yue Lan reacted quickly, directly pulling out the trident from his shoulder and quickly retreating, thus dodging the attack.

 But Jun Changxi had already used all his strength, he slowly fell to the ground, covering the wound that was continuously bleeding, panting heavily. He was willing to take advantage of him when he was unprepared, but he didn’t expect to be dodged. Damn it, was he really going to lose? Jun Changxi’s heart was full of unwillingness, he was really unwilling to lose to someone like this!

 “Prince Changxi!” At the critical moment, the pufferfish appeared, and beside him was a squid. The pufferfish seized the opportunity and quickly spat a mouthful of venom towards Jun Yue Lan, which was agilely dodged by Jun Yue Lan.

The pufferfish knew that its ability was weak, and spitting venom was just a distraction. The squid beside him took this opportunity to quickly spray a large amount of black ink, surrounding them. The black ink directly affected Jun Yue Lan’s vision, making him unable to see their figures in front of him. The pufferfish and the squid took this opportunity to quickly rescue the injured Jun Changxi. After they left, the black ink gradually dissipated, clearing the vision.

Jun Yue Lan looked at the pool of blood on the ground, silently put away the trident in his hand, and his crimson eyes gradually returned to sky blue. He didn’t think about chasing after them. He just wanted to drive away the person who hurt Jiang Li. “Sister, where are you?”

 Jun Yue Lan looked around anxiously and fearfully. Hearing the voice, Jiang Li quickly walked out from behind the coral. “Jun Yue Lan, I’m here!” Jun Yue Lan immediately locked onto Jiang Li’s location, following the sound, and quickly floated over to check her condition. “Sister, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Jiang Li shook her head, “I’m fine…”

 Before she could finish, Jun Yue Lan hugged her tightly. “Sister, you scared me to death, I was so afraid you would get hurt.” His voice was hoarse and trembling, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his clear eyes. Jun Yue Lan, who was originally hunting, felt the uneasiness of the merman pearl, so he knew that Jiang Li was in danger, and he rushed back quickly.

He came back just in time, Jiang Li was not injured. Jun Yue Lan’s concern was not fake, on the contrary, it caught Jiang Li off guard. She had never received such care from a man before, she didn’t know what to do. She was speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, Jun Yue Lan, who was always carefree, didn’t care about this. Instead, he changed the subject and blamed himself. “I’m really useless, not only can’t I protect my sister, I didn’t even bring back any food.” His appearance of being wronged and pitiful was very similar to the big yellow dog at the neighbor’s grandma’s house in modern times.

His watery eyes looked straight into her heart, making her feel extremely cute! “It’s okay, Jun Yue Lan. Whether you caught food or not is not important.” Jiang Li raised her hand and hugged Jun Yue Lan back, and softly said, “Thank you.”

 “Huh?” These three sudden words made Jun Yue Lan stiffen, he slightly opened his mouth, his expression was dazed for a moment. He heard Jiang Li continue, “Jun Yue Lan, thank you for saving me.” He gradually came to his senses, his eyes lowered slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Sister…” protecting you is what I should do. Although he thought so in his heart, Jun Yue Lan couldn’t be serious for more than three seconds. He straightened up, his expression excited. “Sister, since you want to thank me, why not marry me!

After you give birth, I will announce it to the merman clan…” Before he could finish, he was slapped by Jiang Li. “Shut up, I take back what I just said!” “Sister, how can you do this to me…” Jun Yue Lan rubbed his slapped face, making a “ whimpering ” expression, like a wronged and bullied little wife. “I was serious… why did my sister reject me.” Afraid of being affected by his face, Jiang Li quickly turned her back, not looking at him.

“No reason, if you say that again, I’ll punch you away!” “No~” Jun Yue Lan rolled on the ground again, continuing to use his previous coquettish and cute routine. Jiang Li looked at his appearance, and then remembered his handsome and fierce appearance when he was fighting Jun Changxi just now.

She couldn’t imagine that it was the same person! His personality was a bit too jumpy! “Jun Yue Lan, I have something to ask you.” Hearing Jiang Li talking to him so seriously, Jun Yue Lan quickly retracted his coquettishness, got up and sat up straight. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

“How did you know I was in danger?” This question was already expected by Jun Yue Lan, he knew that Jiang Li would ask sooner or later. “Didn’t I say that my merman pearl is in my sister’s body. So if you’re in danger, I can feel it.” So that’s how it is.

 “Then what’s the relationship between Jun Changxi and you? Is he really your brother?” Jun Yue Lan was speechless, his expression froze slightly. After being silent for a while, he nodded lightly. “Yeah, he’s my half-brother. I’ve always had a bad relationship with him, well… I should say, he and his mother have always disliked me.”
