It seems he really is more suited to life at sea.
Having spent some time in the ocean, his spirits seemed to have improved considerably compared to when he was living with her.
Her heart was both relieved and aching!
Xiang Yimo lowered his head and kissed Zhong Lingling's lips, but she reflexively drew back her head.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yimo asked.
Zhong Lingling lowered her head.
She remembered Ji Wuyuan telling her that there was a library in the E Country Imperial Palace, with a book that contained records of mermaid romances.
Thinking of the content that Ji Wuyuan described from the book, Zhong Lingling was reluctant to get close to Xiang Yimo again.
"I read in a book that every mermaid has a life-saving inner core within them, is that true?" Zhong Lingling asked.
Xiang Yimo nodded.
"If that inner core remains, would you be immortal like the lighthouse keeper Moom, never ageing or dying?" Zhong Lingling asked again.
