The most favored maid of the North Sea Dragon King, Tunqi, attempted suicide. Although she survived, she fell into a deep slumber that no one could awaken her from.
As soon as this news spread, the entire Dragon Palace erupted in chaos.
Under the leadership of King Ao Zhan, a group of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, along with maids and attendants, gathered around the maid's room, pacing anxiously. They rushed back and forth in a frenzy, creating a scene that left Venerable Dongting, who had hurried over upon hearing the news, feeling dizzy.
"Everyone stop! Find a way!" Ao Zhan suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly.
All the followers immediately stood at attention as if they had heard an urgent call to assemble, standing straight in a colorful line that stretched like a dragon. The end of the line turned around a corner, extending beyond sight.
Ao Zhan glanced at them one by one, and as he did so, the heads of the long line bowed down one after another. Venerable Dongting nearly burst out laughing at the sight but managed to hold it in.
Seeing that Ao Zhan was on the verge of losing his temper, a trembling voice suddenly came from afar: "I-I have an idea."
"Speak!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, clearly excited.
A Little Shrimp Soldier timidly emerged from around the corner and scurried up to Ao Zhan. Trembling, he said, "My distant cousin's great-aunt's grandmother's second aunt once told a story about a long time ago when there was an unfortunate princess named Cinderella who choked on an apple and fell into a deep sleep, known as Sleeping Beauty. Later, a fairy riding a white horse came and kissed her, awakening her so that she could live happily ever after with the fairy."
"…"
The room fell silent as everyone exchanged glances.
The Little Shrimp Soldier shivered and added, "This story is called The Little Mermaid."
Yao Qin almost didn't survive the anger; she truly overestimated his memory.
Ao Zhan pondered for a moment, then casually waved his sleeve and said, "Go fetch me a white horse."
Lying on the bed, Yao Qin frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The Little Shrimp Soldier hurriedly said, "Actually, it’s fine without a white horse."
Yao Qin's brows relaxed again.
Ao Zhan walked to the bedside and quietly gazed at Yao Qin's sleeping face for a while before slowly leaning down… He felt his breath becoming a bit heavy, while her heartbeat began to quicken noticeably. The closer he got to her, the faster her heart raced, and the louder it became, which filled Ao Zhan with wild joy.
Their noses touched, lips brushed together, their breaths mingling—some fresh, some sweet.
Yao Qin's breath was erratic as she calculated how to maneuver the piece stuck in her throat into her mouth before spitting it out at the right moment. Just then, Ao Zhan suddenly straightened up, giving her the opportunity she needed.
Frowning deeply, he stared at Yao Qin, who appeared to be asleep but was secretly maneuvering her piece. Heartbroken, he turned away and provocatively said to Venerable Dongting, who had been ignored by everyone like a transparent person, "You give it a try."
Venerable Dongting, who had been itching for a chance to jump in, leaped forward with lightning speed.
Yao Qin thought to herself, "Not good," quickly waking up and preparing to spit out the piece. However, just as she opened her eyes, Beautiful Uncle Venerable Dongting's mouth was right there.
Venerable Dongting exclaimed excitedly, "Awake? You're awake!"
Ao Zhan stared in disbelief, his usually expressionless face now a complex mix of emotions. He turned and strode away with purpose.
Yao Qin sat up, spitting out a game piece, and shouted, "Wait, don’t go!"
Ao Zhan returned, but only to grab the Jade Spittoon that had been set aside during their kiss. He hurried off, the wind at his back.
"Ao Zhan!" Yao Qin felt an urge to bang her head against the wall. She had only wanted to dispel his thoughts of packing her off in marriage, but it seemed the performance had gone too far.
Without a word, Ao Zhan rushed out, ignoring her calls as if they were nothing.
He had thought that as long as she woke up, he would be willing to kiss her; he would even gladly kiss Xi Hai Long Tai Zi if it meant she would awaken. He had even prepared for all the dragons of the Four Seas to come and kiss her once.
But when she was actually awakened by someone else’s kiss, his heart swelled with an unexpected bitterness.
When Venerable Dongting approached her, a thought flashed through his mind: "If I can't wake you with my kiss, then no one else shall." In that moment, he would have preferred for her to remain asleep forever, so she would never leave his side.
Meanwhile, Yao Qin watched Ao Zhan walk away. She pushed past the lovestruck Venerable Dongting and shot a fierce glare at Little Shrimp Soldier before hastily chasing after him.
Little Shrimp Soldier shrank back, silently thinking: This isn’t my fault! I said what I was supposed to say! Don’t forget about the twenty universal Dragon Palace coins you promised me!
