Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 382 The Bride of the Sea God (41)

He wanted to wait until everything was settled, then decorate this place as their home, and live here with her forever.

“Nolan, listen to me, we can’t be so selfish,” Yan Zhen said. “My sister has already sent out a provocative signal. If we let it go, the humans and the merfolk will only end up hurting each other. In the end, no one will benefit. Send me back, and I have a way to stop this fierce battle.”

Nolan shook his head: "No."

Nolan!

"No!" Nolan's attitude was firm.

"..." Yan Zhen's patience ran out, and she raised her hand and slapped him on the head.

Nolan was stunned by the slap and instinctively covered his head with his hands, looking at her in astonishment.

Yan Zhen pointed at him and warned, "Either you send me back now, or I'll go back to the island and find some poisonous plants to chew on raw. If I get poisoned, you'll have to send me back to the human world for treatment. You choose one."

Nolan: "..."

As the man and the fish were locked in a stalemate, a large black head silently surfaced beside the raft—Rasin had quietly returned.

Yan Zhen caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned to ask with concern, "Rasin, are you alright?"

Rasin shook his head slightly.

Yan Zhen reached out and touched its head: "Sorry, I made you get beaten up."

Speaking of this, Racine looked at Nolan and made a strange sound in his throat.

Although Yan Zhen didn't understand what was being said, she subconsciously felt it wasn't a compliment.

Sure enough, Nolan, who was already in a bad mood, was instantly enraged. He grabbed the bamboo pole that Yan Zhen used as a paddle and lashed it at its big head: "Get lost!"

Racine sank into the sea to dodge the attack, then quickly surfaced with saliva in his mouth and cheekily sprayed it at Nolan.

Nolan flew into a rage, straightened up, and used a bamboo pole to poke Racine's large head into the water.

Racine nimbly dodged and weaved beneath the surface of the sea, splashing water at Nolan with his tail fin when he got far away.

Nolan refused to leave the raft. The bamboo pole had a limited range of attack. After being provoked several times, he became so angry that his face turned ashen and he threw the bamboo pole into the sea. He then sat on the raft and burst into tears.

Yan Zhen: "..."

Racine: "..."

Nolan cried his heart out, large tears overflowing from his eyes and turning into pearls, dripping onto the raft.

Even though it was a fish he had raised for several months, Yan Zhen couldn't bear to see him crying like that.

But she knew why he was crying.

Now is not the time to compromise.

Yan Zhen hardened her heart and sat motionless on the raft, watching him cry.

On the contrary, Racine seemed to think that she was the one who made Nolan cry, and swam around the raft.

Yan Zhen could see unease and guilt in its dark, unremarkable head.

Nolan cried to himself for more than ten minutes, his sobs gradually subsiding until they stopped.

“I don’t want to be separated from you,” Nolan said. “If I send you back, we’ll have to part ways.”

Yan Zhen said, "It's just a temporary separation. Once I've resolved things peacefully, I'll bring you back to shore, and we can live together like before."

These words made Nolan waver, and he hesitated: "But your sister won't agree."

“I’m all grown up now. I can make my own decisions and don’t need her permission.”

Nolan remained silent for a long time before saying, "You won't lie to me anymore, right?"

Yan Zhen nodded: "Yes, I won't lie to you anymore."

“Then swear,” Nolan said. “If you lie to me, may I die a horrible death.”

Yan Zhen: "..."

“Tell me!” Nolan urged. “If you lie, I will lose all my scales and never be able to return to the deep sea. I will die in the human world, which I hate the most.”

Yan Zhen met his resolute gaze and said with a forced smile, "Fine... I swear, if I'm lying to you, then you will... die a horrible death."

Having received this promise, which was made at the risk of his life, Nolan finally relented: "I will send you back to Shengjing."

Just as Yan Zhen was about to ask how to get back, Nolan suddenly reached out and struck her on the back of the neck.

Yan Zhen felt dizzy and fell, but Nolan caught her. The last thing she saw was Racine's silly head tilting to the side, giving her a puzzled look.

-

When Yan Zhen woke up again, he opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the villa on Changming Road.

She lay on the bed in the master bedroom, where the floor-to-ceiling curtains were drawn tightly, making the room dimly lit.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Yan Zhen finally realized what had happened.

She sat up immediately, her first instinct being to look at the digital clock on the bedside table.

It was 8 p.m., and three days had passed since Nolan rescued her.

In other words, it took Nolan a day and a night to take her halfway around the world, she spent a day and a night on that unknown island, and another day and a night to get back to Shengjing.

Yan Zhen rubbed his forehead, his temples throbbing with pain, feeling as if the events of the past three days had been a dream.

It took her a few minutes to come to her senses. She threw off the covers, got out of bed, tiptoed to the window, pulled the curtains open a crack, and peeked inside.

No one was home for three days, and the two deciduous sycamore trees in the yard had scattered yellow leaves all over the ground.

Yan Zhen quickly reviewed the current situation in his mind.

Nolan's quiet return of her seems to have gone unnoticed by anyone in the Si family.

In other words, Si Lan was unaware of this.

Now that Si Lan is in the open while she and Nolan are in the shadows, she has much more room to maneuver.

Since roundabout methods were not working, she had no choice but to be more ruthless—she planned to seize power, replace Si Lan, and use her position as the head of the Si family to stop this infighting.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen went back to the dressing room and took out a set of black clothes to change into.

She had just changed her pants when the door to her room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Yan Zhen quickly turned his head, and Nolan walked in carrying a glass of water.

Upon seeing him, Yan Zhen was taken aback: "What are you still doing here?"

The mermaids' plan has been exposed, and the mermaids on the shore are all in danger. Shouldn't Nolan have returned to the ocean the moment he sent her back?

He's still staying on the Si family's territory? Does he have a death wish?

Nolan understood her implication and said, "I'm not afraid of them."

"Don't let your guard down." Yan Zhen walked over, took the water glass from Nolan's hand, and pushed him to walk out. "I know your sound waves are powerful, but humans aren't pushovers either. Go back to the sea right now."

Si Lan is a very smart woman. After witnessing Nolan's power in the fire escape, she would definitely take precautions in advance, using weapons that can withstand sound waves to prevent Nolan from making a comeback.

The shore is humanity's home ground, and even if Nolan is incredibly powerful, he still risks being captured here.

Nolan refused to leave: "If I leave, how are you going to complete such a dangerous plan on your own?"

“You can’t help me here, and I’ll have to worry about your safety,” Yan Zhen said. “Listen to me, go back to the sea first, and I’ll come find you after I’ve sorted things out.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed a few drops of blood on the sleeve of Nolan's hoodie.

She immediately grabbed his arm: "Where's the blood? Are you hurt?"
