save the bachelors

Chapter 4523 [A Good Show]

"Save me~" At this moment, the mermaid in the glass box spoke.

"Oh my God, she can actually talk?" Gibbs said in surprise.

Elizabeth was also surprised. She thought that although mermaids were beautiful, they should not be able to speak like cats and dogs.

"I am the princess of the Mermaid Kingdom. Let me go and I will reward you." The mermaid spoke again.

"You don't need to give us any benefits, we will save you." Xiang Nan stepped forward and said, "Since you are intelligent and can speak, I believe you are also the child of the goddess, then our status is equal, you are also born free and should not be imprisoned."

"Captain, don't let her go. Mermaids are cruel and bloody. They often eat people. They will drag sailors into the deep sea and eat them until only bones are left." Gibbs saw Xiang Nan wanted to let her go and quickly stopped him. "We can take her to New Orleans, or Boston, London, or Paris. She will definitely sell for a good price."

"Yeah, don't release it, don't release it~" the crew members all stopped him.

"Get out of the way. I'm the captain and I said let go." Xiang Nan insisted.

Elizabeth also nodded, agreeing with Xiang Nan's idea, "Yes, we should let her go, not imprison her."

If the mermaid had no intelligence and was just a pet like a cat or a dog, it would be nice to keep her for viewing. But since she has intelligence and can speak, it would be too cruel to imprison her.

"Captain!" Seeing that Xiang Nan was determined to do what he wanted, several crew members began to rebel and became restless.

After all, good wine attracts people, and money attracts thieves. A mermaid can be sold for a lot of money, so they all want to take her away and sell her instead of releasing her back into the sea.

"How dare you! Do you also want to be exiled?" Xiang Nan said, stroking the sword of Kottles.

"Since the captain has made the decision, we can only obey." Gibbs said quickly upon seeing this.

When the crew saw Xiang Nan's threatening words and First Mate Gibbs was on his side, and thought of the pirates who had just mysteriously disappeared, they suddenly didn't have the courage to resist anymore.

"Carry her onto the deck." Xiang Nan immediately ordered.

The crew had no choice but to obey and carry the glass box onto the deck.

"Go, mermaid princess, return to your kingdom and the embrace of your loved ones." Xiang Nan raised his hand, and the glass box immediately tilted over, and the mermaid fell into the sea.

"I will repay you." The mermaid princess fell into the water, then stuck her head out and shouted loudly, then jumped into the deep sea.

……

"It's such a shame. If it were sold to Europe, it would fetch at least £10,000."

"Not only that, fifty thousand pounds is possible."

"We can take her on tour and we'll definitely make a lot of ticket sales."

Upon seeing this, the crew members said with regret that the golden coins that were about to be in their hands were gone just like that, which was such a pity.

Even Gibbs felt that Xiang Nan was a little too kind. "Captain, the mermaid's words are not credible. You really shouldn't have let her go."

"She should be released. Everyone is born free and equal. She should not be imprisoned and enslaved." Elizabeth said.

"You're right." Xiang Nan nodded.

As he was speaking, a group of mermaids suddenly emerged from the sea, "Kind man, did you save our princess?" "I wouldn't say I saved her, I just let her out." Xiang Nan said modestly, waving his hand.

"Thank you, this is our gift to repay you." As they said this, the mermaids all raised their gifts.

There were huge and beautiful corals, large fluorescent pearls, giant clams as big as wheels, uncut gemstones, and some gold and silver coins from shipwrecks...

The crew members were all stunned and drooling. They didn't expect these mermaids to be so generous and have so many treasures.

The corals, pearls, giant clams, and gems alone were worth more than 50,000 pounds, not to mention the gold and silver coins. In short, Xiang Nan did the right thing by releasing the mermaid princess.

"Mermaid, please take the gifts back. I don't ask for anything in return." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

Hearing him say this, the crew members' eyes suddenly popped out. Is Xiang Nan crazy if he doesn't want so much money?
"Really? These treasures can be exchanged for a lot of money in your world." said a mermaid.

"No, we don't ask for anything in return." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"That's right, we don't save people just for the sake of reward." Elizabeth also waved her hand.

"Oh my God, oh my God, we met two crazy people." The crew members were helpless. They didn't even want the money that was handed to them. They were really crazy.

“Well, if you say so,” the mermaid nodded, and then they all dived into the water again. With a flick of their long tails, they were gone.

"Captain, are you really crazy? You won't even eat the meat that's right in front of you?" Several crew members asked angrily.

They can also have a share of the money, because according to the rules of navigation, in addition to a fixed salary, the crew members can also get a bonus if they make money.

Although they were not as good as the captain, first mate, second mate, etc., they could still make a small fortune. But Xiang Nan didn't want any of them, which really drove them crazy.

……

"Don't expect anything in return when you do a favor. Otherwise it's not a favor but a transaction." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Yes, we are doing charity, not doing business, so we naturally cannot expect any reward." Elizabeth also nodded.

As she was speaking, the mermaid princess who had just dived reappeared with two cups in her hands. "I am touched that you don't want any gifts, but I must repay you. Here are two cups of water. Drink them. That will be my way of repaying you."

Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to take the cup up, and then he and Elizabeth each took a cup and drank the water, and then returned the cup to the mermaid princess.

"Now I can tell you that these two cups of water are actually the fountain of life, and the fountain of youth that you humans have been searching for." The mermaid princess smiled, "Now you all have eternal youth and immortality, and this is my best reward for you."

With that, the mermaid princess took the cup and returned to the deep sea.

“…” Elizabeth, Gibbs, and even all the crew members were stunned.

Unexpectedly, the two glasses of water presented by the mermaid princess were so precious that they were actually the fountain of eternal youth and life.

The most precious thing for a person is life. One breath can be used for a thousand things, but once it dies, everything ends. No matter if one is an emperor, a general, or an ordinary person, everyone desires immortality.

However, the Fountain of Youth was only heard of in name only and never seen. Everyone thought it was just a legend, but no one expected it to actually exist.

"Is this really the fountain of youth?" Elizabeth was a little skeptical.

"Oh my God, ma'am, your face..." At this time, Gibbs exclaimed that even Elizabeth's face was becoming younger and younger.
