"I'm going to South Sea Merfolk City. You will escort me there." Su Yu, despite her tears, hadn't forgotten her objective and spoke between sobs.
Xi Wan, who had no intention of going to South Sea Merfolk City, frowned and instinctively started to refuse. "No—"
But the words on the tip of his tongue somehow twisted. "I have no choice in the matter. Fine. I'll escort you."
Xi Wan: "..."
His face darkened as he said in a low voice, "I can take you to South Sea Merfolk City, but I have a condition. The moment you arrive safely in Merfolk City, you must release your control over me!"
Su Yu blinked and agreed, "No problem."
'It's up to me when I release him, anyway. By then, Wei and his people should have caught up. I'll just have them deal with Xi Wan.'
'Taking down Beast Traders is everyone's... oh, no, every *beast's* responsibility.'
'Once I get to South Sea Merfolk City, I can also ask the City Lord there for help. I'll have him rescue the females Xi Wan has captured.'
