My Sassy ‘Crown Princess’

There was a long shriek, and Mo Fei, struggling with dizziness, pulled the creature up.

A round creature landed on the planks of the boat.

Lou Yu watched with great interest the little sea monster that landed on the deck. The little sea monster was like a ball, so round, with two long ears above the head.

The little sea monster looked at Lou Yu and Mo Fei, suddenly broke into tears.

The cry was very like the ghost-like scream they had heard before.

“All right, don’t cry.” The little sea monster’s cry really gave Mo Fei a headache.

Mo Yi was full of curiosity to look at the little sea monster, he could hardly imagine that the creepy sound actually was made by such a lovely creature.

The little sea monster lay on the deck, crying helplessly.

Mo Fei rubbed his forehead with a headache and asked patiently, “Why are you making that kind of ghost-like noise?”

The little sea monster stopped crying and asked in some confusion, “What ghost-like noise?”

Mo Fei explained to the little sea monster, ghost-like scream is some kind of awful and harsh sound that makes one want to die.

Mo Fei’s words made the little sea monster shriek on and on, stretched out his little paws, trying to scratch Mo Fei’s face.

Having communicated for a long time, Mo Fei finally got something he needed.

Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and asked, “What did the little thing say?”

“He said that he was not crying but practicing singing, and they’d be holding a grand musical event for the sea monsters. The one who wins the contest may get the princess’ favor.” Explained Mo Fei, head tilted.

Lou Yu took a deep breath and said, “So, is that singing?”

Mo Fei nodded. “Yes!”

“He calls that singing?” Said Lou Yu darkly.

Mo Fei said helplessly, “Different races, aesthetic standards are also different.”

“Are we unlucky enough to catch the singing contest of the sea monster race?” Lou Yu held his forehead.

Mo Fei shook his head. “It’s not like what you think. They hold it every seven days, and it’s only two days since the last one.”

Lou Yu’s blue veins on his forehead stood out, after a moment’s silence, he couldn’t help it and said, “The sea monster race’s life is so cozy.”

The little sea monster looked at Lou Yu cockily, making some babbling sound.

Mo Fei glanced at the little sea monster and then turned to Lou Yu with a twisted face. “This guy said that they are born for singing, and it is their lifelong mission to make the most beautiful song in the world.”

Lou Yu took a deep breath. Rumor has it that those who ever came to the Black Fog Sea all went mad. And those people kept saying, “ghosts! There are ghosts! Ghosts everywhere! They are coming! They are coming!”

So, were they scared out of their wits by a bunch of little sea monsters who are determined to create the most beautiful song? The truth is always so cruel!

Lou Yu listened to the noise outside, “So those guys outside keep screaming and shouting only wanting to get the princess’ favor?”

The little sea monster nodded, “Yes!”

Mo Fei crossed his arms and asked with great interest, “What does your princess look like? Why all those sea monster are so crazy for her?”

The little sea monster said shyly, “Our sea monster princess…makes the fish sink and wild geese fall, obscure the moon and make flowers blush, exceedingly beautiful…”

Mo Fei winked. Those sea monsters sing like ghost screaming. What kind of beauty would their princess be?

“So, how about she compares with you?” Mo Fei asked curiously.

The little sea monster’s eyes were flickering, and he said shyly, “Almost the same level.”

Lou Yu felt surprised, “What? Where is your shame? How dare you compare yourself with the princess?”

The little sea monster shrieked, saying that actually she is the princess.”

Mo Fei was full of astonishment. “Are you the sea monster princess?”

The small sea monster nodded proudly and said yes.

“How many princesses are there in your race?” asked Lou Yu out of curiosity.

The little monster thought a bit and said, “More than one hundred, perhaps there are more than two hundred.”

Mo Fei, “…”

Mo Fei touched his chin. He had been thinking that they were so lucky to happen to catch a sea monster princess. So sea monster princesses are everywhere. Not valuable at all!
