Yokai Office

Shen Xi was confused by these few words.

Facing Zong Ci, he blinked his eyes and even opened his mouth slightly, obviously unable to react.

Seeing him like this, Zong Ci felt that he was so cute. He reached out and hugged him, and let him sit on the desk.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Shen Xi finally had a reaction, hooked Zong Ci's neck, and shook his body, "Is Chao Yang the identity of the second prince of the mermaid clan, or you?" Tell me that!"

"How come it's not the same now?" Shen Xi was full of curiosity and anxiety.

Since Shen Xi was sitting on the desk, he was nodding taller than Zong Ci at the moment.Zong Ci raised his head and kissed his lips, "Don't worry, I'll tell you."

"En." Shen Xi'an settled down.

Seeing this, Zong Ci said, "When I checked at first, I only found out the identity of the second prince Chaoyang. Do you still remember that when you were in the underground cave, you asked Uncle Fang to check his body?"

Shen Xi thought about it carefully, and there was indeed such a thing.

At that time, he was worried about Le Chaoyang's physical condition, and the others felt that Le Chaoyang's status was special, so he asked Bi Fang to investigate.

"Well, what then?" Shen Xi nodded and continued to ask.

Zong Ci continued, "At that time, Uncle Fang became suspicious."

"Suspicious? Why?"

"The meridians in each monster race are different, and each race has their specific meridian trends..." Zong Ci's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke slowly, "The meridians in Le Chaoyang's body are completely different from those of ordinary mermaids. "

Shen Xi was suspicious when he heard the words.He didn't say anything more, and continued to listen quietly.

"Uncle Fang was afraid that he would make a mistake, so after he brought Le Chaoyang back to the bureau, he asked others to investigate as well."

"The results of it?"

Zongci said the answer calmly, "Le Chaoyang is not a mermaid, his body meridians... are more inclined to ordinary people, or he was originally an ordinary person."

Shen Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is it possible?"

Zong Ci reached out and patted his forehead with the same gentle force as before, "Listen to me to continue."

"Oh."

"The leaders of the mermaid clan in the past, when they accepted the baptism of enthronement, the ocean that stored ancient spiritual power would give them a substitute spirit."

It was the first time Shen Xi heard this word, and couldn't help asking, "For Ling?"

"To put it simply, it is a substitute. The past substitute spirits have the same physique as the previous leaders, and they can even sense each other. If the leader is hurt, the substitute spirit will empathize with him. When necessary, the substitute spirit can sacrifice himself, In place of the chief."

Something suddenly occurred to Shen Xi's mind, and his face gradually became heavy.

After dinner last night, he saw Le Chaoyang suddenly clutching his heart and feeling uncomfortable, and at the same time... Le Jingchuan had the same reaction, even worse than Le Chaoyang.

The leader of the mermaid tribe, the substitute spirit; has the same physique; empathizes...

"What do you mean, Le Chaoyang is actually the current leader of the mermaid clan, that is, Le Jingchuan's substitute?"

"It should be like this." Zong Ci nodded, and said again, "After the Dragon Clan was exterminated, the leaders of the Yuren Clan have become the Haijun of the East Lihai. Le Jingchuan has only been on the throne for more than 100 years, and the Yuren Clan has a second prince. The news about Le Chaoyang only came out during this period of time."

"The second prince has it, but Le Jingchuan's substitute spirit has remained silent. Do you think this possibility is great?"

These few words were enough for Shen Xi to understand.He thought for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case. Then it's okay, I saw them just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xi stopped.

Thinking of the scene he just saw, Shen Xi blushed a little.

So sorry!

Seeing his reaction, Zong Ci couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to peek at other people's intimacy?"

Shen Xi stretched out her hand and hurriedly covered his mouth.He looked sideways at the office door, and when he saw it was closed, he muttered, "I really didn't mean it, so don't say it."

Zong Ci meant to tease him, but his eyes were replaced by watery tenderness.He rubbed the tip of Shen Xi's nose, parted his thin lips slightly, and coaxed, "Then you find a way to seal my mouth?"

Shen Xi looked at his handsome and profound facial features, and felt that he was almost seduced away.

"Sixi?"

Shen Xi swallowed, muttered and cursed secretly, "You did it on purpose."

"Well, I deliberately seduce you." Zongci pursed his lips, his eyes lingering on his face, neck and even lower.

Shen Xi felt hot all over from his scorching gaze, "Don't look at it."

In order to hide his nervousness, he simply leaned over and kissed Zong Ci's lips, and stuck out his tongue to outline the outline of his lips.

Zong Ci's eyes darkened immediately, he stretched out his hand to grab the back of Shen Xi's head, and the other hand grabbed Shen Xi's waist, and directly brought him close to him.

The tongue easily pried open Shen Xi's lips and teeth, taking the lead passively, plundering everything from him forcefully.

Everything exudes a dangerous and powerful charming flavor.

Shen Xi was very familiar with this kind of kiss.

"Woo..." Without any resistance, Shen Xi tightly wrapped Zong Ci's arms.

An ambiguous sound of water came from the mouths of the two.

Strong throbbing and numbness rose up, making Shen Xi's whole body go limp.

He only felt that his body suddenly flew into the air, and when he came back to his senses again, he had already been pressed down on the sofa by Zong Ci.

"Wait, wait a minute, uh..." Shen Xi's eyes were blurred, and he half pushed and half put his hands on Zong Ci's body.

Zong Ci didn't listen to Shen Xi's wishes, and withdrew his hand from his head, across the side of his face and down to his neck.

Just as he was about to lower his head and continue, a knock on the door interrupted him.

Zong Ci stopped his movements, his eyes flashed with displeasure.

"Knock, knock." There was another knock on the door.

Shen Xi regained his composure, hurriedly pushed Zong Ci away, and said with a voice like fine lines, "Stop making trouble."

Zong Ci stretched out his hand to wipe away the gleam of water from Shen Xi's lips, then got up and walked over.

Shen Xi remembered what almost happened just now, her cheeks were flushed with heat.

***

When Zongci opened the door, he saw Le Jingchuan standing at the door.The two looked at each other, and Le Jingchuan pursed his lips, "I'm sorry, it seems to have ruined your good deed?"

"It's good that Mr. Hai knows." Zong Ci didn't deny it either.

Le Jingchuan laughed softly, and then said seriously, "I'm going back to East Lihai first, this time I'm coming to Jindu, thank you for your help."

"Dongli Maritime has a big problem, and the bureau will send people to help as soon as possible," Zong Ci said.

Le Jingchuan nodded.He didn't know what he thought of, and hesitation flashed in his blue eyes.

Zong Ci guessed what he was thinking, and said proactively, "Don't worry, Le Chaoyang is by my side, nothing will happen."

"In that case, thank you, sir." Le Jingchuan heaved a sigh of relief.

This time I came to Jindu, the first is to find Le Chaoyang, and the second is to report to the Monster Bureau.

Now that Le Chaoyang is staying in the office, and Zongci and Shen Xi are reliable people, Le Jingchuan no longer has the scruples and worries he had when he came here.

"The affairs of Donglihai are urgent, so I will take my leave first."

Zong Ci didn't say much, "Go slowly."

"Ah."

***

Shen Xi heard the conversation outside and knew that it was Le Jingchuan.He was afraid that the strangeness on his face would be seen by outsiders, so he didn't dare to get up and go.

Not long after, Zong Ci turned around and walked back.

"Haijun is gone?"

"Hmm." Sitting on the sofa, Zong Ci squeezed Shen Xi's soft palm, raised it up and kissed the back of his hand, and silently said, "...disappointing."

Shen Xi came to his senses and immediately stood up from the sofa.

"Then what..." He struggled to find the words, "I'll go see Chaoyang!"

After saying that, he ran out.

Zong Ci looked at the back of his lover who fled in despair, and sighed helplessly.

***

Shen Xiben just found an excuse to go downstairs.

Unexpectedly, when he got downstairs, he saw Le Chaoyang sitting on his seat in a state of disbelief.

Even if Shen Xi walked to his side, he didn't notice it.

"Chaoyang?"

Shen Xi reached out and pushed his shoulder.

"Huh?" Le Chaoyang suddenly came back to his senses, looked up and saw Shen Xi, a little embarrassed, "Xixi, are you back?"

"Walk outside with me? Take a break?" Shen Xi suggested with a smile.

Le Chaoyang was stunned for half a second, "Outside?"

"It's not good to keep some things in your heart." Shen Xi could probably guess what Le Chaoyang was thinking, and continued, "Tell me about it?"

Le Chaoyang pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Shen Xi asked Liu Huo to help watch the office, and after explaining, he went out with Le Chaoyang.

The two found a coffee shop and sat down in a private box.

It's not the end of get off work time yet, and there are no other customers in the store except them.

Le Chaoyang was slightly on guard.

Shen Xi didn't speak in a hurry, and waited for him quietly.

"Xixi." Le Chaoyang was silent for a long time, "I'm not the second prince of the mermaid clan."

Shen Xi nodded, and replied earnestly, "It's fine that you are Chaoyang whom I know."

Le Chaoyang didn't expect Shen Xi to answer like this, he was surprised for a few seconds, and then showed a relieved smile, "Yeah."

"The mermaids all have different eye colors, such as Jingchuan..." Le Chaoyang paused and changed his words, "For example, my brother's pupil color, I am not a mermaid, nor other monsters. A small island, and I'm just an ordinary person on the island."

"Then, do the people on your island look as good-looking as you?" Shen Xi put his hand on the table and asked curiously.

Seeing Shen Xi's attitude, Le Chaoyang knew that he was helping him relax, so he couldn't help but smile.

"That year, I went out to sea with my uncle. As a result, there was a sudden storm on the calm sea. The fishing boat failed to catch the catastrophe, and it was capsized on the sea in an instant. When I woke up, I was already in the middle of the sea. gone."

"Later, I found out that the new leader of the mermaid tribe ascended the throne that day. That's why the sudden storm was triggered."

Shen Xi spoke at the right time, "The new leader is Mr. Jing Chuan Hai?"

"Yeah." Le Chaoyang kept stirring the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, "After an accident at sea, he was the one who saved me. I was in a coma for a long time, and when I woke up again, I was already a Half human, half shark alien race."

"At the beginning, I was very scared and kept shrinking in the room."

The original Le Chaoyang was just an ordinary boy.

Even though I have heard many legends about the sea since I was a child, I still can't resist the fear of seeing alien races with my own eyes.What's more, at that time, he had already become an outlier in his self-cognition.

He didn't dare to eat the food that the sharks ate, so he went hungry for several days.

At that time, Le Chaoyang had just turned into a half-merman, his body was weak, and he couldn't bear such a situation at all.

It was at that time that he met Le Jingchuan for the first time.

Recalling what happened that day, Le Chaoyang finally had some warmth on his face, "He told me that when he rescued me, I was already on the verge of death. So as a last resort, he asked the elders of the clan to use He used the forbidden technique and turned me into a mermaid, just to save my life."

Humans and mermaids are almost the same.

The forbidden technique worked, pulling Le Chaoyang back from the death line.

"He told me that my uncle who was traveling with me was rescued by his subordinates and returned to the island without incident. My family thought I was dead and held a sea burial for me."

Le Chaoyang thought of his family many years ago, and smiled bitterly, "Besides, I became like that, and I have no spiritual power, so I can't go back at all."

I can't go home...

When Shen Xi heard this, he couldn't help feeling sorry for Le Chaoyang, "You will become the second prince of the mermaid tribe, and this has something to do with it?"

"Hmm. Maybe he felt guilty, so after I got used to my new body, he made an exception and raised my identity."

At that time, Le Jingchuan, who had become the new Haijun, naturally had the strength to do such a thing.

In fact, Le Chaoyang can't blame him at all.After all, the turbulent waves of enthronement and baptism are usually just a moment.It can only be said that the fishing boat was out of luck and happened to hit the top of the wave.

What's more, Le Jingchuan was saving people the moment the incident happened.

"A character like Haijun, were you afraid of him at first?"

Although they had only met a few times, Shen Xi could feel that Le Jingchuan's character was worse than Zong Ci's.

When Shen Xi first met Zong Ci, he was also intimidated by the other party's character and aura.

"It's a little bit, he is serious with everyone." Le Chaoyang recalled, "But he is really good to me."

At first, Le Jingchuan felt guilty, so he paid special attention to Le Chaoyang's situation.

He heard that Le Chaoyang couldn't get used to the food of the mermaid tribe, and would be born in person to find food from ordinary people.

Later, Le Jingchuan got to know Le Chaoyang's personality and personality while getting along, and was gradually attracted to him.

Le Chaoyang said softly, "In an unfamiliar environment, it is easy to become dependent on those who care about you. Moreover, my mother is also very kind to me."

Thinking of that gentle woman, his eyes showed complexity.

Shen Xi noticed this, and cautiously probed, "The matter between you and Jingchuan Haijun, she..."

Le Chaoyang was taken aback, then smiled helplessly, "You already know?"

"I, I saw it by accident." Shen Xi murmured, and after she finished speaking, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, some things can't be hidden." Le Chaoyang had already figured this out.Even if the other party doesn't mention it, he will tell it.

"Xixi, do you know how to replace spirits?"

Shen Xi nodded truthfully, "Zong Ci mentioned something to me."

"I am his substitute." Le Chaoyang sighed, "With this layer of identity, I will follow him every time he patrols the sea."

This is the duty of the substitute spirit, and when necessary, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

"Some time ago, the seabed was turbulent. When he and I went to check the situation, we were ambushed by several other sea tribes."

Since ancient times, there has been a struggle for power and profit.

The seabed turmoil is the best time to plot chaos.

At that time, Le Jingchuan had just completed a sea sacrifice to calm down the turmoil on the seabed.The spiritual power was already weak and hadn't recovered yet.As a result, he was suddenly attacked again, and there was no time to react.

"My duty was to protect him, but in the end...he stood in front of me stubbornly."

Although the rescue of the Yuren tribe came in time, Kele Jingchuan was still severely injured, but Le Chaoyang was safe and sound.

"After returning to the clan, several elders took their anger out on me. Moreover, there are frequent incidents on the bottom of the sea, and even the sealing array in the deep sea is unstable."

Le Jingchuan was injured and comatose, unable to perform the sea festival.If the seal formation breaks, the consequences will be disastrous.

"So, several elders agreed that they wanted to sacrifice me as a sacrifice."
