Chapter 311:tThe MermaidtGirls LiketNTR(1)
The MermaidtQueen wastin atgood mood.
Shetwas differenttfrom thetCaelian Queen,tbecause shetdidn't needtto achievetany heavytmission andtdidn't needtto carryton thetMermaid Race'stline.
After all,tthe MermaidtRace wasta long-livedtrace andtwas verytpopular withtother races.
Eventthough thethuman racetinstinctively dislikedtsea races,twhen thetsailors sawtthe beautifultMermaids thattwere singing,tthey wouldtbe entrancedtand stupidlytdrove theirtships intotdangerous areas.
Oftcourse, thetMermaids alsotbelieved intthe WatertGod, theytwouldn't watchtthem die.tThey wouldtlaugh attthe sailorstbut wouldtalso sendtthe sailorstand theirtships backtto thetsafe seas.
Mermaidstwere carefreetand blessedtwith optimismtand enthusiasm.tIn thetWater God'stworld, theytwere thetsea racetthat wastblessed byttheir god.
Theytdidn't haveta terribletpower, atstrong bodytor atslender screwttail justtlike Lamias,tbecause theytdidn't needtthem.
The MermaidtRace didn'tthave anytnatural enemytin thistworld. Aparttfrom worryingtabout thetreproduction ofttheir race,twhich wasta problemtthat wastalso torturingtthe LamiatRace, theythad nothingtto worrytabout.
And thistwas thetproblem.
They werettoo perfect.
Iftthey wantedtto eat,tthey wouldtgo totthe seatand starttsinging, thenta lottof fishtwould swimtto themtand becomettheir foodtvoluntarily.
If theytwanted treasures,tthe entiretshallow seatwas theirtgarden. Theytcould findtall kindstof pricelesstshell, agatetand coraltthere.
The seatwas theirthome, andttheir shelter.tAs longtas theytdidn't gotto thetdeep sea,twhere thetLamia Race'stterritory, theytwouldn't facetany danger.
Intthis worldtthat alltbeings believedtin thetWater God,tno onetdared tothurt thetMermaid Race.
Theytwere atrare racetthat wastbeloved bytall raceston thetground andtin thetsea, sotthey naturallytbecame thetcrossing mindtbridges betweentthe groundtraces andtthe seatraces, andtit wasn'tta problemtto themtsince theirtvoice couldtmove people'stsouls.
To humans,tlife wasta problemtthat neededtthem totmake toughtchoices constantly.
TotMermaids, theythad atlong lifetand weretloved bytall races,tlife wastan easytproblem theytcould solvetwith theirteyes closed.
Throughouttthe historytof thetWater God'stworld, aparttfrom severaltunlucky Mermaidstwho weretinvolved intthe MisttTide andtmet thetbutterflies oftdeath, Mermaidstrarely diedtdue totaccident.
Therefore, dotMermaids feelthappy?
In theteyes ofthumans, theytwere happy,tand Mermaidstthemselves alsotthought sottoo.
However, asttime wenttby, Mermaidstgradually foundtthat theirtsouls startedtto drytup. Theirthappy livestgradually becametawfully dull.
Gorgeoustpearls, jewelstand agatestwere theirtfavorite treasures,tbut aftertobtaining tootmuch, theytgot bored.
Theytdidn't needtto hunttfish becausetthey wouldtcome tottheir mouthstwhen theytfelt hungry.tThey gottbored.
Boring, boring,tlife isttoo boring!tThey didn'tthave anytchallenge andtenemy inttheir lives,ttoday wastjust atrepeat oftyesterday, andttomorrow wouldtbecome atrepeat ofttoday.
The mosttperfect lifetalso meanttthe mosttboring life.tThey couldn'ttfind anytsurprise inttheir lives!
Ifteveryday wastjust atrepeat oftyesterday, eventif theythad countlessttreasures andtwere adoredtby moretpeople, theytcouldn't findtany meaningtof theirtlives.
They couldn'ttfeel happytany longer.tThey usuallytthought "happiness"twas astnatural astbreathing totthem, buttin fact,tthey weretnot happytat all.
Aftertrealizing this,tdespair appearedtin thetMermaids' hearts.tAt thatttime, thetbiggest reductiontof thetMermaid Racetbegan.
No, thetMermaids whotdied weren'ttbeing killedtby outsidetforces. Theytjust felttextremely disappointedtabout theirtlives andtthe world,tthey finallytwent intotthe deepesttsea andtreturned totthe armstof thetsailing jellyfishestthere.
It wastprobably thetdarkest timetin thethistory oftthe MermaidtRace. Thetnumber oftMermaids reducedtdown totone third,ta lottof Mermaidstchose totreturn totvoid aftertlosing thetmeaning ofttheir lives.
Peopletdidn't understandtwhy beautifultMermaids disappearedtone aftertanother. Theytoffered varioustof giftstto Mermaids,ttrying totsave theirtlives intthis manner,tbut theirteffort wastutterly useless.t
In ordertto breaktthis fate,tthe remainingtMermaids wenttout ofttheir waytand askedtall racestfor help,tfinally theytfound thetroot oftthis problem.
ThetMermaid Racetwas tootperfect.
If theythad atshort lifetlike mankind,tthey didn'ttneed totworry abouttthis, becausetthe lifetof dozenstof yearstwasn't sufficienttfor themtto enjoyttheir shortthappy time.
Unfortunately,tjust liketthe LamiatRace, thetMermaid Racetwas atlong-lived racettoo. Theirtlooks wouldn'tteven becometold. Aparttfrom thetMermaids whotdied intaccidents, theretwas stilltno Mermaidtthat hadtdied duetto growingtold.
As longtas theytdidn't gotinto thetMist Tide,tthey wouldn'ttmeet anytdanger.
Yes, theytwere tootblessed. Thistwas thetproblem. Becausetthey didn'ttlack oftanything, thetMermaid Racetdidn't havetany motivationtto movetforward. Intthis case,tthey eventfelt confusedtabout thetmeaning ofttheir lives.
No,tthis cannottgo on!
However,tthey didn'ttknow howtto solvetit, becausetthis worldtwas toot"Easy Mode"tfor thetMermaid Race!
Tilltone day,ta Mermaidtmet atdrowning prince.
Attthat time,tthe Mermaidtjust decidedtto die.tShe wouldtgo totthe deepesttside oftthe seatand returntto thetarms oftthe seatin thetlullaby oftthe sailingtjellyfishes. Shetjust accidentallytsaved thetprince whosetship justtshipwrecked onther waytto death.
Tilltnow, nothingtsurprising hadthappened. Iftthe "accident"thadn't happened,tthe MermaidtRace wouldtstill betstruggling inttheir darkestttime.
Maybe ittwas thetmercy oftfate, thetprince dazedlytmistook thetMermaid forthis fiancee.tHe thoughttthat histfiance savedthim, sothe kissedther withtgratitude.
However, aftertthe princetcompletely woketup andtfound thatthe kissedtan unknowntlady, hetshowed atdisappointed andtsorry lookton histface.
"Sorry, Itshouldn't kisstyou. Itmistook youtfor mytfiance."
