Who Touched My Tail!

7.14 – What was he doing, standing there foolishly

Knowing that Xue Ling had woken up, everyone in the Duke's Palace took turns to visit. Yan Qingjun and the Duchess stayed in his room for the longest time, and both of them had a long talk with Xue Ling, telling him that although the deep-sea merfolk and natural merfolk were different, and he could transform a pair of legs, he still should not go out and run around wildly. He was so naïve – everyone would be worried if something happened to him.

Xue Ling appeased them one after another, and began to feel that his plan of pretending to be silly and sweet might not be such a good idea.

After seeing Yan Qingjun off, Yan Chuhuan entered his room, having just come back from work.

It was dinner time, and Yan Chuhuan did not have any intention of talking to him for a long time. He just looked at him for a good while before saying, "Sure enough, you've grown up."

Xue Ling's face showed how speechless he was. "Eldest brother..."

Yan Chuhuan's face was full of smiles. "Enough, I know that you've been admonished several times today. Your elder brother won't bother you much. Only, I wanted to let you know that His Highness the Prince wants so see you."

Xue Ling had also guessed that this would happen. Although Lan had not mentioned it, many strong powerhouses had arrived in the capital during this period, and it was enough to make His Highness suspicious of his identity. Once he became suspicious, it would not be difficult to guess his importance to the deep-sea merfolk. "Did His Highness the Prince and Lan meet?"

"Yes."

"All right." Xue Ling shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since His Highness has made an appointment, I don't have any reason to refuse. Could I trouble eldest brother to arrange it?"

Yan Chuhuan rubbed his head and said softly, "No matter who you are, you will still be the youngest son of the Yan family. As long as you are willing to come back, father and I will protect you."

It was rare for him to be in a world where he was not alone, so Xue Ling cherished this seemingly warm family relationship. "What is eldest brother saying? I never said I planned to leave."

"That's even better." Yan Chuhuan's gaze was gentle as he stroked his head again. "Come downstairs for dinner. Although you don't intend to leave, there are still people who insist on wanting to take you away."

"Then eldest brother should try and make people stay~ won't it be fine if they all become part of our family?" Thanks to Lou Cen's suggestion, Xue Ling didn't mind matching Yan Chuhuan with Lan.

Yan Chuhuan just smiled and did not reply.

This world made Xue Ling feel more warm and happy than the previous worlds. Although the malignant tumour that was the research laboratory existed, after Xue Ling and the Prince had a long talk, with the help of His Highness', the Duke's, and Lou Cen's forces alongside the deep-sea merfolk, they cleaned up the traditional aristocratic faction and thoroughly destroyed the institution several years earlier than in the original plot. A large number of people were also able to escape the fate of being transformed against their will. The great turbulence caused by the destruction of the research laboratory shook the entire Empire.

Many people could clearly see the new era that the Empire was about to usher in, and began to fall in line one after another out of fear that they would also be thoroughly cleaned up before it was all over.
