At that moment, Meng Yijue was stunned, and only two sentences floated in his empty mind.
One sentence is "If you come out to mess around, you always have to pay back."
The other sentence is "It's not that we don't report, the time has not come"...
His face suddenly turned pale.
"Two... how is it possible!" Meng Yijue felt breathless just thinking about the possibility.Just one can barely bear it, if there is another one... then it is impossible to eat it!
He was about to escape, but was blocked in his way.
"Master, this time, I won't let you escape again!"
The two cubs were sharpening their knives, obviously premeditated.I saw that they each took out a small box, held it in their hands and opened it, which contained different styles of things that looked like toys.
Meng Yijue took a closer look. Although he didn't recognize what those were at first glance, he saw the charming (scary?) smiles on the faces of the two Ling Yuan, and then carefully looked at those shapes. After thinking about it, he also guessed eight .Nine is not far from ten.After brushing his back, cold sweat immediately dripped down eeriely.
"Master, don't be afraid." The other Lingyuan's tone was gentle, but his eyes were terrified, "With these, Master will not be hurt."
Meng Yijue had nowhere to escape, and was easily captured.Looking at the things in Ling Yuan's hands, he always felt that they didn't look like the original things in the cultivation world, so he couldn't help asking: "Where did you get these?"
Ling Yuan smiled, but spit out a fact that horrified him.
"In Master's silver bracelet, there are indeed many good things worth trying..."
Meng Yijue looked at his wrist subconsciously, and then remembered that he took off the silver bracelet and gave it to Ling Yuan these days, so that Ling Yuan could use it freely.
But he gave the bracelet to Ling Yuan for him to use it for chores or to buy some necessities. Unexpectedly, after taking it away, this bastard fiddled with new uses, and even used his points to buy these... these unscrupulous things Here comes the stuff!
"Master, these are not unscrupulous things." Hearing Meng Yijue's reprimand, Ling Yuan only looked at him innocently with water eyes, and said seriously, "With them, the master can be treated in the process. Keep it light and happy, don't get hurt."
Meng Yijue stared fiercely at the silver bracelet on the bedside table, gritted his teeth and said, "System! You're called eating inside and out, not doing business... Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you do this kind of business?"
Yin Bracelet remained motionless, pretending to be dead with a guilty conscience.
As a book-transmitting system, the silver bracelet is instinctively subordinate to the protagonist, unable to resist the protagonist's request.What's more, Lingyuan paid the points in a regular manner when shopping, and everything was in line with the rules of the mall's transactions, so the silver bracelet took the money and handled the business as a matter of course, and then kept his mouth shut and pretended nothing happened.
This set of procedures was completed in one go, and Meng Yijue almost admired its proficiency.
However, it turns out that the quality of the supplies sold in the system mall is really not picky - Meng Yijue thought with tears in his arms being hugged by two Lingyuan one after the other.
In this case, without the help of those things, it would be impossible for him to contain it smoothly while remaining uninjured.Everything today was very enjoyable, Meng Yijue fell asleep directly after finishing his fatigue, and even continued the previous reality, dreaming a sweet dream.
After finishing their work, the two Ling Yuan methodically used the house cleaning function of the silver bracelet to tidy up the bedroom.Afterwards, they lay on the side of the sleeping Master, one on the left and one on the right, chatting with each other in the way of heart-to-heart sound transmission.
"Master is really great."
"That's natural."
The two recalled the sweetness just now at the same time, and still feel that they still have more to say.
"Master is good anywhere. It's just... at present, Master is not very active and always very shy."
"Well, I feel it too. Master will always show the expression of being bullied, making me feel like an evil hungry wolf."
"You don't need to feel it, probably Master thinks so."
"So, is there any way to make Master take the initiative and try to face us more calmly?"
The two stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Suddenly, the ontology's eyes lit up.
"The Quicksand Ying Yuyi I found in the Yuren Clan... It's time to use it."
However, due to the entanglement of affairs, Lingyuan did not implement her plan immediately as she wished.
The Demon Realm that just changed hands was in constant turmoil, and the remnants of the Demon Emperor were ruthless, constantly intimidating or inciting some tribes to rebel with him, causing trouble in the north.
For the next two months, Ling Yuan had to be busy gathering troops to suppress the turmoil.As for other peaceful areas in the Demon Realm, the plans for improvement and transformation have not stopped.
The farming strategy he previously implemented in the nine southwestern counties was very effective. Not only did the local residents have a relatively sufficient source of food, but with strict laws and strict management, the friction and fights between the tribes were also significantly reduced. .
Considering that this method is effective, with the help of Master's advice and suggestions, Ling Yuan began to promote the planting method to other areas in the Demon Territory.
In just a few months, all places in the Demon Realm—whether it is mountains and hills, deserts, Gobi deserts, or glaciers and snowfields—has started planting business in a hurry. In the divided land, we worked hard to fill our stomachs.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and the climate in the Demon Realm began to heat up.After the south was completely settled, Ling Yuan took some time to take Master to see the sea in the Demon Realm, escape the heat and enjoy the cool weather, and take a vacation.
Meng Yijue packed his bags and set off from the magic palace in a small carriage pulled by flying horses. After traveling all day, he finally arrived at Xianfeng Town, a small town near the sea in the south, in the evening.
Xianfeng Town, called a small town, is actually a village with a large population.
The town is located on a huge beach, and there are dry and hard stones and sand everywhere on the ground.The carriage was walking on it, shaking slightly, and the wheels made a crackling sound.
Meng Yijue opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
Compared to the remote and poor Dune Village, this small town is richer. Most of the houses in the town are made of stone or shells. The houses are not high and only have two floors at most.
In addition, Meng Yijue also noticed that among all kinds of houses, there are many strangely carved stone statues.
At first glance, there was nothing interesting about it, but after careful inspection, he found that some of the stone statues looked like huge sea monsters in ancient legends, with bulging eyes and twisting tentacles, which looked a little weird.
He thought, maybe these weird statues are some kind of sea god worshiped by the residents of this seaside town.
After walking through the stone huts in the town for about a quarter of an hour, Meng Yijue smelled an increasingly strong smell of sea.The air was filled with the salty smell of the sea, and even the wind was salty——only then did he know why this seaside town got its name.
The carriage stopped.Meng Yijue got up, and as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw Ling Yuan wearing a simple and thin summer dress and a small straw hat on his head, standing not far away with a smile, and opened his arms to the master.
"Master, you have worked hard along the way."
Behind him stood Chi Shalong, holding a small lamp in his claws.Seeing Meng Yijue get out of the car, it was also very excited, smiling from ear to ear: "I've been waiting for a long time, the dinner party is about to start, come to the house quickly."
The lizard walked in front with a lantern, and Meng Yijue followed closely behind, holding Ling Yuan's hand, and walked towards a stone house by the sea.
This stone house is the tallest building in Xianfeng Town, with a height of three and a half floors.
Ling Yuan told Meng Yijue that this largest house was originally the place where the leader of the Sea Clan lived, but this leader has special habits, preferring to sleep under the beach instead of living in the house.So this stone house has been vacant all year round.He has been living here when he was handling affairs at the southern border for nearly a month.
The door of the stone house was wide open, and the interior was brightly lit.
Meng Yijue caught a glimpse of a dark thing at the door of the stone house. He thought it was also a stone statue. When he got closer, the thing suddenly moved, and a human voice came out: "Devil Lord, you are here!"
Lingyuan nodded and introduced Meng Yijue to it: "Lord Bao, this is my master." Then he said to Meng Yijue: "This is Lord Bao, the leader of the Xianfeng Sea Monster Clan."
Meng Yijue took a closer look, and the black "thing" turned out to be a seal.It has a large body, more than half the height of a person standing upright.
Seeing them coming, "Bao Ye" patted his body twice with his short hands to show his welcome, and said with a smile, "Mr. Meng, it's a pleasure to meet you. My wife has prepared a sumptuous dinner. Just waiting for the two of you to come and have dinner."
Meng Yijue bowed his hand in return, feeling incredible in his heart.
He has heard many stories about monsters since he was a child, and he has also seen many monster races with his own eyes.But the monsters in his usual impression are snake monsters, wolf monsters and fox monsters, and this is the first time he has seen seal monsters.
Seeing Lord Bao's swaying chubby body leading them into the house, he couldn't help thinking, since this seal demon was honored as "Lord Bao" by Ling Yuan, he might also be an old demon with a lot of experience.
The inside of the room is bright and majestic, with furniture made of stone; a circle of dried fish is hung on the roof, and the big stone table in the middle of the room is already filled with all kinds of seafood.
This dinner was hosted by Ling Yuan and the local sea people. There was no special cooking method, and there were two kinds of soup and fresh food.
The dishes are authentic, with almost no condiments. Meng Yijue tasted sashimi and seafood soup boiled in coconut one by one, and the taste of the sea filled his lips and teeth.
While they were eating, three furry seal cubs crawled into the stone house and moved towards Meng Yijue.
Different from adult seals with slippery skin, these cubs are covered with thick white fur, which look like balls of hair, so cute.Meng Yijue saw it, and couldn't help feeling a bit of itching, picked up the small fish and hooked his fingers at the seal balls.
Seeing the food, the little ones squirmed towards him.
Meng Yijue hugged the soft seal balls and gently stroked their fur.
Seeing him having fun, Lord Leopard, who was sitting on the other side of the table eating small fish, was also very happy, and babbled about the story of their family living by the sea.
Meng Yijue asked about the stone statues, and when the seal heard this, his expression became serious: "Those stone statues are carved with the sea gods in the sea. We sea monsters rely on the sea to eat the sea, and the sea god is happy, so we can eat enough. If the sea god Unhappy and angry, not only will we have nothing to eat, but a terrible storm will rush ashore and destroy everything in the town. Therefore, the demon clan in the town sacrifices to the sea god every year and throws piles of gold into the sea. Silver jewelry..."
Lord Bao wrinkled his face as he spoke, looking quite sad: "In two months, it will be the Sea God Festival again, but we have been raising fish and vegetables by the seaside in the town according to the devil's request for the past six months, and there is nowhere I can go, let alone find treasure. Oh, what can I do..."
Ling Yuan said: "In order to sacrifice to the sea god, you raid the territory of the Jin clan every year and snatch gold, silver and jewels from their nests. Since I have issued an order to prohibit all tribes in the Demon Realm from fighting, you Sea-monster clan will certainly not exception."
Master Bao sighed, "We have no other choice. Who wants to take the risk of dying and go to fight in other clans? But the sea monster clan must live on the sea, and we cannot survive without the sea; To live safely by the sea, we must obey the laws of the Sea God, otherwise we will suffer disaster!"
He looked at Ling Yuan complicatedly, "Devil Lord, I admit that we are selfish, but if we don't snatch the gold and silver from the gold-seeking beasts, our tribe will die in the end! As the patriarch, how can I watch myself What's more, we only rob the Jin family once a year, and the things we rob are enough to worship the sea god, but not enough to starve the gold hunters to death. The original form, to All three of us are the best…”
Hearing this, Meng Yijue fell into silence.
He could tell that Lord Bao was taking the opportunity of inviting them to dinner to vomit his bitterness, or he was asking them for help.
The Sea Monster Clan did not produce any treasures themselves, and most of the gold and silver sacrificed to the Sea God in the past were looted from other tribes.But since Lingyuan ordered the whole Demon Territory to stop the war and concentrate on production, the Sea Monster Clan was under pressure and could no longer launch a war against the Gold Seeker Clan to rob them of their treasures like before.
Judging from the fact that the Sea-Monster Clan has adhered to the tradition of worshiping the gods for so many years, this "Sea God" is very terrifying, and they cannot bear the consequences of angering the Sea God.Seeing that the time for offering sacrifices to the gods is approaching and the treasures are not available at hand, Lord Bao, who is the patriarch of the Kraken, is naturally very distressed.
Ling Yuan remained silent and silently took a sip of coconut juice.
The order prohibiting war was personally issued by him. Today, he is lenient to the sea monster tribe. Tomorrow, other tribes may use various excuses to provoke war against other tribes. When the time comes, there will be chaos everywhere in the Demon Realm. A blank sheet of paper.
As the master of a domain, Ling Yuan values fairness, and it is impossible to harm the interests of the Gold Seekers for the benefit of the Sea Monster Clan.However, these problems that the Kraken tribe is currently facing need to be solved urgently.
In the past, there was a cycle of "the gold hunters were robbed by the sea monsters, the sea monsters paid tribute to the sea gods, and the sea gods protected the sea monsters from being disturbed" among the sea gods, sea monsters, and gold hunters. Under this delicate balance, The three parties have coexisted stumblingly for thousands of years, and the two races have also achieved continuation.
Right now, Lingyuan's policy has forcefully terminated the link of "the gold hunters being robbed by the sea-monster", which will inevitably affect the two downstream links; the cycle will lose its balance, which will bring crisis to the sea-monster.
"I will take care of all of this." At the end, Ling Yuan said solemnly, "Lord Bao, I promise you and the Sea-Monster Clan that I will fulfill the responsibility of the Demon Lord and protect the entire Sea-Monster Clan."
Master Bao smiled wryly, "I'm sorry."
In the evening, Ling Yuan took Master to the beach for a walk.
The summer in the Demon Realm is very hot, but the night by the seaside is exceptionally cool.
With the gentle sea breeze blowing and listening to the sound of crashing waves, one's mood becomes very comfortable.
Meng Yijue recalled the previous situation where the seal complained, and couldn't help sighing: "Lingyuan, you have become the master of this demon realm, and you have many problems to consider. It is indeed too hard."
"Yes." Ling Yuan smiled, "The Demon Territory is very large, even larger than the territory of the Human World. There are countless tribes living in it, and there are all kinds of conflicts. Although I promote planting And the method of breeding, trying to make each of their tribes full of food, but as you can see, although food and clothing are the most common problem, there are also many conflicts in the Demon Realm that cannot be resolved only by growing food. "
Meng Yijue nodded.
Just by expanding food production, it is far from enough to completely transform the Demon Realm.
Everything in Demon Realm is very primitive, there is no currency in circulation, no mature economy and trade, and no special educational places.The whole society is in a nascent state, chaotic and backward.
Things like gold, silver and jewelry that are very valuable in the human world are worthless to the sea monsters—there is no so-called commercial trade in the demon realm. They can't exchange gold for food, they only give it to the sea god , in order to get the pity of the other party, so that I can live in peace by the sea.
"Speaking of which, the delicacies by the sea are really good." Meng Yijue thought, "If these delicious seafood can be transported to the human world for sale, the Sea Monster Clan might be able to make a lot of money by taking advantage of this, and there is no need to ask for gold. The clan robbed the gold."
"It's a good idea." Ling Yuan nodded, and then turned her gaze to the sea.
After walking a few miles along the coast, Meng Yijue saw a stone statue standing among the reefs on the shore, which was obviously also the god of the sea.He recalled the stone statues he had seen before, and found that although they were all called "Sea Gods", they were very different in appearance.
Perhaps the sea monsters who sculpted these stone statues have never seen the whole picture of this "Sea God", and only completed these stone carvings based on their own knowledge and imagination.
Meng Yijue looked at the stone and couldn't help being curious: "Lingyuan, do you think there is really a sea god in this sea?"
"There should really be a thing called 'Sea God' here. As for whether it is really a god, it's hard to say. According to Lord Bao, the Sea God will come to the shore of the shallow water every year to count the treasures they throw into the sea. If the amount is enough, it will take the things and go away satisfied; if it is too small, it will be furious, setting off a huge wave, and submerging the entire Xianfeng Town."
Ling Yuan said indifferently, "That's why the Krakens built houses made of stones on the shore. In this way, once the town is destroyed, after collecting enough treasures and handing them over to the Sea God, the Sea God's anger subsides, leading the sea to recede, The sea monsters will come back again, clean up the stone house, and live in it again."
It seems that the "Sea God" is not a nihilistic god, but a real thing that exists.Meng Yijue understood the anxiety of the Siren Clan a little more in his heart.
The Sea Monster Clan and the Gold Seeker Clan could have lived in peace.But the existence of the "Sea God" made the two races feel uneasy.
Combining Lord Bao's description, Meng Yijue guessed that this "Sea God" might be some kind of giant sea monster in the deep sea, and even had a very high IQ.With its great strength, it asks for treasures from the Kraken clan living on the shore, and if it doesn't like it, it will wreak havoc in the sea.
Meng Yijue rolled his eyes, "Lingyuan, since that's the case, can you let the sea monsters exchange some treasures with what the gold hunters need? Bartering is better than fighting and robbing."
"That's what I thought too." Ling Yuan said, "However, I have been to the residence of the gold hunters before, and found that they just eat the powder on the surface of the ore for a living, and they are not very interested in other things. I'm afraid there's nothing here that can be exchanged for their treasure."
The matter of the Kraken clan is indeed a difficult problem.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm a water demon, and water is my territory. From the beginning to the end, I never thought of compromising with the 'Sea God'." Seeing Meng Yijue's worried face, Ling Yuan gently touched his lips. Fasi'er, "Don't listen to what the seal said. With my water monster around, no 'Sea God' can overthrow the sky! This guy has been bullying the weak for thousands of years, and I won't sit idly by and let him continue to oppress the sea monsters." .If the negotiation fails, I will personally resolve it and drive it out forever."
Hearing this, Meng Yijue also laughed.
With Ling Yuan's character, he will not succumb to the threat of an evil monster—he is the master of the Demon Realm, the most powerful monster in the entire Demon Realm today, and he is afraid of a second-rate sea monster making trouble?
As for the survival and development of the Siren Clan, they can take a long-term view and plan well.
"Master, it's rare for you to come out to play, let's put these troublesome things aside and enjoy the vacation." Ling Yuan took his hand actively, "Tomorrow we will go fishing and shrimping at sea, it will be fun , I’m still waiting to drink Master’s seafood soup.”
Thinking of tomorrow's journey, Meng Yijue also felt a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
Although the entertainment for the seals tonight is sumptuous, the cooking techniques are really mediocre.If he catches delicious seafood, he will definitely show his skills and make them into a feast of delicious seafood.
The next day, Meng Yijue ate breakfast pastries made of coconuts, and followed Ling Yuan to the beach.
"By the way, Ling Yuan, where is your split body now? I heard that he will also come to the beach this time, but why didn't I see his shadow?"
Ling Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Master will see you later."
However, they walked all the way to the coast, but they didn't see another Lingyuan appearing.
Just when Meng Yijue was puzzled, a string of big bubbles suddenly floated into the sky in the deep sea ahead, each of which was as big as a person.
He thought he was in a daze for a moment, and hurriedly approached to take a closer look - he saw a giant crystal round water ball floating in the sea area, which was as big as a kayak, blowing a string of bubbles into the sky Bubble, making a gurgling sound.
Meng Yijue was surprised, "That's the water ball formed by the split body? This, is this too big?"
"The water demon absorbs water and can expand many times." Ling Yuan laughed, "Today, it will take us to surf and fish."
Meng Yijue was amazed.He took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked carefully across the shallow water to the beach in front of the giant water ball.
When I got closer, I could see it more clearly. The water ball in front of my eyes was in the shape of a very full water drop. It looked round and bright, like a small crystal island floating on the water.
Meng Yijue stretched out his finger and poked lightly, the dumpling flicked softly, his body was full of resilience.He carefully climbed onto Shui Tuanzi's back, and Ling Yuan immediately jumped up.
The water dumpling was carrying two people, but it was still floating steadily in the water.The body flexibly retracted and bounced, and immediately swam quickly in the water, heading straight for the depths of the sea.
Meng Yijue is like riding on a cute "jelly boat", bouncing up and down with the waves.Some dolphins were also attracted by the salty sea breeze, jumping joyfully around the "jelly boat".
Ling Yuan took off her coat, lightly jumped into the water, and swam in the sea to her heart's content.
For water monsters, swimming in water is even more comfortable than walking on the ground.The young man plunged into the deep sea with a single plunge, and soon surfaced, holding a very beautiful colorful conch in his hand.
"Master, look, does this look good?"
The boy's jewel-like light blue eyes looked at Meng Yijue with sparkle.His black hair was soaked by the sea water, and it was a little messy on his forehead. Crystal drops of water dripped from it and slowly slid along his slender body. He looked fit, handsome and powerful.
Perhaps, such a high-spirited young man deserves to be called "Sea God"...
Looking at his tender eyes, Meng Yijue thought quietly.
On this day, accompanied by Ling Yuan, Meng Yijue had a great time.He learned how to catch big lobsters, sea crabs, all kinds of sea fish, and even a squid; Ling Yuan also caught some fat shellfish from the bottom of the sea.
They cooked heartily on the top of the "jelly boat", golden grilled fish, crispy shrimp balls, garlic scallops, honey sauce abalone, crab roe tofu, fried squid rings... all kinds of delicious dishes are served in turn, and the stomach is full full.
As night fell, the happy day came to an end temporarily.Shui Tuanzi, who undertook the task of going out to sea for a day, has fallen asleep at this moment, drifting with the waves in the very center of the sea.
Lingyuan and Meng Yijue lay side by side on the soft backs of the dumpling, looking at the round moon in the sky.
Looking around, there is an endless sea on all sides, and there is not a trace of land in sight.Seagulls flying in the sky during the day also return to their nests at this time.
There is silence between the sea and the sky, only the continuous whispering sound of the waves can be heard.
It seems that there is only one pair of people left in the whole world, an isolated island.
"Master, it's very quiet here, just like our own world, no one will disturb you."
Hearing Ling Yuan's whisper, Meng Yijue agreed from the bottom of his heart, "Yes, it seems to be far away from everything..." He gently embraced the young man's shoulder, "Ling Yuan, I am really happy today."
Ling Yuan smiled, and pressed the water ball boat she was sitting on.
"Master, what do you think of this bed?"
"Boat? You mean this enlarged dumpling?"
Meng Yijue didn't realize it for a while, and only heard Lingyuan say it again seriously, "This, bed, how about it? It's very soft and elastic, and it won't fall apart no matter how you roll it."
Meng Yijue suddenly came back to his senses, and was shocked: "What, you want to be here?"
Although there is no one else here, it is in the wild, and it is still at sea!
He subconsciously wants to hide, but now there is a vast sea on all sides, there is nowhere to hide!
Looking at the charming smile on the young man's face, Meng Yijue broke out in cold sweat.
——Now, you really are on a thief ship!
One sentence is "If you come out to mess around, you always have to pay back."
The other sentence is "It's not that we don't report, the time has not come"...
His face suddenly turned pale.
"Two... how is it possible!" Meng Yijue felt breathless just thinking about the possibility.Just one can barely bear it, if there is another one... then it is impossible to eat it!
He was about to escape, but was blocked in his way.
"Master, this time, I won't let you escape again!"
The two cubs were sharpening their knives, obviously premeditated.I saw that they each took out a small box, held it in their hands and opened it, which contained different styles of things that looked like toys.
Meng Yijue took a closer look. Although he didn't recognize what those were at first glance, he saw the charming (scary?) smiles on the faces of the two Ling Yuan, and then carefully looked at those shapes. After thinking about it, he also guessed eight .Nine is not far from ten.After brushing his back, cold sweat immediately dripped down eeriely.
"Master, don't be afraid." The other Lingyuan's tone was gentle, but his eyes were terrified, "With these, Master will not be hurt."
Meng Yijue had nowhere to escape, and was easily captured.Looking at the things in Ling Yuan's hands, he always felt that they didn't look like the original things in the cultivation world, so he couldn't help asking: "Where did you get these?"
Ling Yuan smiled, but spit out a fact that horrified him.
"In Master's silver bracelet, there are indeed many good things worth trying..."
Meng Yijue looked at his wrist subconsciously, and then remembered that he took off the silver bracelet and gave it to Ling Yuan these days, so that Ling Yuan could use it freely.
But he gave the bracelet to Ling Yuan for him to use it for chores or to buy some necessities. Unexpectedly, after taking it away, this bastard fiddled with new uses, and even used his points to buy these... these unscrupulous things Here comes the stuff!
"Master, these are not unscrupulous things." Hearing Meng Yijue's reprimand, Ling Yuan only looked at him innocently with water eyes, and said seriously, "With them, the master can be treated in the process. Keep it light and happy, don't get hurt."
Meng Yijue stared fiercely at the silver bracelet on the bedside table, gritted his teeth and said, "System! You're called eating inside and out, not doing business... Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you do this kind of business?"
Yin Bracelet remained motionless, pretending to be dead with a guilty conscience.
As a book-transmitting system, the silver bracelet is instinctively subordinate to the protagonist, unable to resist the protagonist's request.What's more, Lingyuan paid the points in a regular manner when shopping, and everything was in line with the rules of the mall's transactions, so the silver bracelet took the money and handled the business as a matter of course, and then kept his mouth shut and pretended nothing happened.
This set of procedures was completed in one go, and Meng Yijue almost admired its proficiency.
However, it turns out that the quality of the supplies sold in the system mall is really not picky - Meng Yijue thought with tears in his arms being hugged by two Lingyuan one after the other.
In this case, without the help of those things, it would be impossible for him to contain it smoothly while remaining uninjured.Everything today was very enjoyable, Meng Yijue fell asleep directly after finishing his fatigue, and even continued the previous reality, dreaming a sweet dream.
After finishing their work, the two Ling Yuan methodically used the house cleaning function of the silver bracelet to tidy up the bedroom.Afterwards, they lay on the side of the sleeping Master, one on the left and one on the right, chatting with each other in the way of heart-to-heart sound transmission.
"Master is really great."
"That's natural."
The two recalled the sweetness just now at the same time, and still feel that they still have more to say.
"Master is good anywhere. It's just... at present, Master is not very active and always very shy."
"Well, I feel it too. Master will always show the expression of being bullied, making me feel like an evil hungry wolf."
"You don't need to feel it, probably Master thinks so."
"So, is there any way to make Master take the initiative and try to face us more calmly?"
The two stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Suddenly, the ontology's eyes lit up.
"The Quicksand Ying Yuyi I found in the Yuren Clan... It's time to use it."
However, due to the entanglement of affairs, Lingyuan did not implement her plan immediately as she wished.

Meng Yijue packed his bags and set off from the magic palace in a small carriage pulled by flying horses. After traveling all day, he finally arrived at Xianfeng Town, a small town near the sea in the south, in the evening.
Xianfeng Town, called a small town, is actually a village with a large population.

"Master, you have worked hard along the way."
Behind him stood Chi Shalong, holding a small lamp in his claws.Seeing Meng Yijue get out of the car, it was also very excited, smiling from ear to ear: "I've been waiting for a long time, the dinner party is about to start, come to the house quickly."
The lizard walked in front with a lantern, and Meng Yijue followed closely behind, holding Ling Yuan's hand, and walked towards a stone house by the sea.
This stone house is the tallest building in Xianfeng Town, with a height of three and a half floors.
Ling Yuan told Meng Yijue that this largest house was originally the place where the leader of the Sea Clan lived, but this leader has special habits, preferring to sleep under the beach instead of living in the house.So this stone house has been vacant all year round.He has been living here when he was handling affairs at the southern border for nearly a month.
The door of the stone house was wide open, and the interior was brightly lit.
Meng Yijue caught a glimpse of a dark thing at the door of the stone house. He thought it was also a stone statue. When he got closer, the thing suddenly moved, and a human voice came out: "Devil Lord, you are here!"
Lingyuan nodded and introduced Meng Yijue to it: "Lord Bao, this is my master." Then he said to Meng Yijue: "This is Lord Bao, the leader of the Xianfeng Sea Monster Clan."
Meng Yijue took a closer look, and the black "thing" turned out to be a seal.It has a large body, more than half the height of a person standing upright.
Seeing them coming, "Bao Ye" patted his body twice with his short hands to show his welcome, and said with a smile, "Mr. Meng, it's a pleasure to meet you. My wife has prepared a sumptuous dinner. Just waiting for the two of you to come and have dinner."
Meng Yijue bowed his hand in return, feeling incredible in his heart.
He has heard many stories about monsters since he was a child, and he has also seen many monster races with his own eyes.But the monsters in his usual impression are snake monsters, wolf monsters and fox monsters, and this is the first time he has seen seal monsters.
Seeing Lord Bao's swaying chubby body leading them into the house, he couldn't help thinking, since this seal demon was honored as "Lord Bao" by Ling Yuan, he might also be an old demon with a lot of experience.
The inside of the room is bright and majestic, with furniture made of stone; a circle of dried fish is hung on the roof, and the big stone table in the middle of the room is already filled with all kinds of seafood.
This dinner was hosted by Ling Yuan and the local sea people. There was no special cooking method, and there were two kinds of soup and fresh food.
The dishes are authentic, with almost no condiments. Meng Yijue tasted sashimi and seafood soup boiled in coconut one by one, and the taste of the sea filled his lips and teeth.
While they were eating, three furry seal cubs crawled into the stone house and moved towards Meng Yijue.
Different from adult seals with slippery skin, these cubs are covered with thick white fur, which look like balls of hair, so cute.Meng Yijue saw it, and couldn't help feeling a bit of itching, picked up the small fish and hooked his fingers at the seal balls.
Seeing the food, the little ones squirmed towards him.
Meng Yijue hugged the soft seal balls and gently stroked their fur.
Seeing him having fun, Lord Leopard, who was sitting on the other side of the table eating small fish, was also very happy, and babbled about the story of their family living by the sea.
Meng Yijue asked about the stone statues, and when the seal heard this, his expression became serious: "Those stone statues are carved with the sea gods in the sea. We sea monsters rely on the sea to eat the sea, and the sea god is happy, so we can eat enough. If the sea god Unhappy and angry, not only will we have nothing to eat, but a terrible storm will rush ashore and destroy everything in the town. Therefore, the demon clan in the town sacrifices to the sea god every year and throws piles of gold into the sea. Silver jewelry..."
Lord Bao wrinkled his face as he spoke, looking quite sad: "In two months, it will be the Sea God Festival again, but we have been raising fish and vegetables by the seaside in the town according to the devil's request for the past six months, and there is nowhere I can go, let alone find treasure. Oh, what can I do..."
Ling Yuan said: "In order to sacrifice to the sea god, you raid the territory of the Jin clan every year and snatch gold, silver and jewels from their nests. Since I have issued an order to prohibit all tribes in the Demon Realm from fighting, you Sea-monster clan will certainly not exception."
Master Bao sighed, "We have no other choice. Who wants to take the risk of dying and go to fight in other clans? But the sea monster clan must live on the sea, and we cannot survive without the sea; To live safely by the sea, we must obey the laws of the Sea God, otherwise we will suffer disaster!"
He looked at Ling Yuan complicatedly, "Devil Lord, I admit that we are selfish, but if we don't snatch the gold and silver from the gold-seeking beasts, our tribe will die in the end! As the patriarch, how can I watch myself What's more, we only rob the Jin family once a year, and the things we rob are enough to worship the sea god, but not enough to starve the gold hunters to death. The original form, to All three of us are the best…”
Hearing this, Meng Yijue fell into silence.
He could tell that Lord Bao was taking the opportunity of inviting them to dinner to vomit his bitterness, or he was asking them for help.
The Sea Monster Clan did not produce any treasures themselves, and most of the gold and silver sacrificed to the Sea God in the past were looted from other tribes.But since Lingyuan ordered the whole Demon Territory to stop the war and concentrate on production, the Sea Monster Clan was under pressure and could no longer launch a war against the Gold Seeker Clan to rob them of their treasures like before.
Judging from the fact that the Sea-Monster Clan has adhered to the tradition of worshiping the gods for so many years, this "Sea God" is very terrifying, and they cannot bear the consequences of angering the Sea God.Seeing that the time for offering sacrifices to the gods is approaching and the treasures are not available at hand, Lord Bao, who is the patriarch of the Kraken, is naturally very distressed.
Ling Yuan remained silent and silently took a sip of coconut juice.
The order prohibiting war was personally issued by him. Today, he is lenient to the sea monster tribe. Tomorrow, other tribes may use various excuses to provoke war against other tribes. When the time comes, there will be chaos everywhere in the Demon Realm. A blank sheet of paper.
As the master of a domain, Ling Yuan values fairness, and it is impossible to harm the interests of the Gold Seekers for the benefit of the Sea Monster Clan.However, these problems that the Kraken tribe is currently facing need to be solved urgently.
In the past, there was a cycle of "the gold hunters were robbed by the sea monsters, the sea monsters paid tribute to the sea gods, and the sea gods protected the sea monsters from being disturbed" among the sea gods, sea monsters, and gold hunters. Under this delicate balance, The three parties have coexisted stumblingly for thousands of years, and the two races have also achieved continuation.
Right now, Lingyuan's policy has forcefully terminated the link of "the gold hunters being robbed by the sea-monster", which will inevitably affect the two downstream links; the cycle will lose its balance, which will bring crisis to the sea-monster.
"I will take care of all of this." At the end, Ling Yuan said solemnly, "Lord Bao, I promise you and the Sea-Monster Clan that I will fulfill the responsibility of the Demon Lord and protect the entire Sea-Monster Clan."
Master Bao smiled wryly, "I'm sorry."
In the evening, Ling Yuan took Master to the beach for a walk.
The summer in the Demon Realm is very hot, but the night by the seaside is exceptionally cool.
With the gentle sea breeze blowing and listening to the sound of crashing waves, one's mood becomes very comfortable.
Meng Yijue recalled the previous situation where the seal complained, and couldn't help sighing: "Lingyuan, you have become the master of this demon realm, and you have many problems to consider. It is indeed too hard."
"Yes." Ling Yuan smiled, "The Demon Territory is very large, even larger than the territory of the Human World. There are countless tribes living in it, and there are all kinds of conflicts. Although I promote planting And the method of breeding, trying to make each of their tribes full of food, but as you can see, although food and clothing are the most common problem, there are also many conflicts in the Demon Realm that cannot be resolved only by growing food. "
Meng Yijue nodded.
Just by expanding food production, it is far from enough to completely transform the Demon Realm.
Everything in Demon Realm is very primitive, there is no currency in circulation, no mature economy and trade, and no special educational places.The whole society is in a nascent state, chaotic and backward.
Things like gold, silver and jewelry that are very valuable in the human world are worthless to the sea monsters—there is no so-called commercial trade in the demon realm. They can't exchange gold for food, they only give it to the sea god , in order to get the pity of the other party, so that I can live in peace by the sea.
"Speaking of which, the delicacies by the sea are really good." Meng Yijue thought, "If these delicious seafood can be transported to the human world for sale, the Sea Monster Clan might be able to make a lot of money by taking advantage of this, and there is no need to ask for gold. The clan robbed the gold."
"It's a good idea." Ling Yuan nodded, and then turned her gaze to the sea.
After walking a few miles along the coast, Meng Yijue saw a stone statue standing among the reefs on the shore, which was obviously also the god of the sea.He recalled the stone statues he had seen before, and found that although they were all called "Sea Gods", they were very different in appearance.
Perhaps the sea monsters who sculpted these stone statues have never seen the whole picture of this "Sea God", and only completed these stone carvings based on their own knowledge and imagination.
Meng Yijue looked at the stone and couldn't help being curious: "Lingyuan, do you think there is really a sea god in this sea?"
"There should really be a thing called 'Sea God' here. As for whether it is really a god, it's hard to say. According to Lord Bao, the Sea God will come to the shore of the shallow water every year to count the treasures they throw into the sea. If the amount is enough, it will take the things and go away satisfied; if it is too small, it will be furious, setting off a huge wave, and submerging the entire Xianfeng Town."
Ling Yuan said indifferently, "That's why the Krakens built houses made of stones on the shore. In this way, once the town is destroyed, after collecting enough treasures and handing them over to the Sea God, the Sea God's anger subsides, leading the sea to recede, The sea monsters will come back again, clean up the stone house, and live in it again."
It seems that the "Sea God" is not a nihilistic god, but a real thing that exists.Meng Yijue understood the anxiety of the Siren Clan a little more in his heart.
The Sea Monster Clan and the Gold Seeker Clan could have lived in peace.But the existence of the "Sea God" made the two races feel uneasy.
Combining Lord Bao's description, Meng Yijue guessed that this "Sea God" might be some kind of giant sea monster in the deep sea, and even had a very high IQ.With its great strength, it asks for treasures from the Kraken clan living on the shore, and if it doesn't like it, it will wreak havoc in the sea.
Meng Yijue rolled his eyes, "Lingyuan, since that's the case, can you let the sea monsters exchange some treasures with what the gold hunters need? Bartering is better than fighting and robbing."
"That's what I thought too." Ling Yuan said, "However, I have been to the residence of the gold hunters before, and found that they just eat the powder on the surface of the ore for a living, and they are not very interested in other things. I'm afraid there's nothing here that can be exchanged for their treasure."
The matter of the Kraken clan is indeed a difficult problem.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm a water demon, and water is my territory. From the beginning to the end, I never thought of compromising with the 'Sea God'." Seeing Meng Yijue's worried face, Ling Yuan gently touched his lips. Fasi'er, "Don't listen to what the seal said. With my water monster around, no 'Sea God' can overthrow the sky! This guy has been bullying the weak for thousands of years, and I won't sit idly by and let him continue to oppress the sea monsters." .If the negotiation fails, I will personally resolve it and drive it out forever."
Hearing this, Meng Yijue also laughed.
With Ling Yuan's character, he will not succumb to the threat of an evil monster—he is the master of the Demon Realm, the most powerful monster in the entire Demon Realm today, and he is afraid of a second-rate sea monster making trouble?
As for the survival and development of the Siren Clan, they can take a long-term view and plan well.
"Master, it's rare for you to come out to play, let's put these troublesome things aside and enjoy the vacation." Ling Yuan took his hand actively, "Tomorrow we will go fishing and shrimping at sea, it will be fun , I’m still waiting to drink Master’s seafood soup.”
Thinking of tomorrow's journey, Meng Yijue also felt a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
Although the entertainment for the seals tonight is sumptuous, the cooking techniques are really mediocre.If he catches delicious seafood, he will definitely show his skills and make them into a feast of delicious seafood.
The next day, Meng Yijue ate breakfast pastries made of coconuts, and followed Ling Yuan to the beach.
"By the way, Ling Yuan, where is your split body now? I heard that he will also come to the beach this time, but why didn't I see his shadow?"
Ling Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Master will see you later."
However, they walked all the way to the coast, but they didn't see another Lingyuan appearing.
Just when Meng Yijue was puzzled, a string of big bubbles suddenly floated into the sky in the deep sea ahead, each of which was as big as a person.
He thought he was in a daze for a moment, and hurriedly approached to take a closer look - he saw a giant crystal round water ball floating in the sea area, which was as big as a kayak, blowing a string of bubbles into the sky Bubble, making a gurgling sound.
Meng Yijue was surprised, "That's the water ball formed by the split body? This, is this too big?"
"The water demon absorbs water and can expand many times." Ling Yuan laughed, "Today, it will take us to surf and fish."
Meng Yijue was amazed.He took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked carefully across the shallow water to the beach in front of the giant water ball.
When I got closer, I could see it more clearly. The water ball in front of my eyes was in the shape of a very full water drop. It looked round and bright, like a small crystal island floating on the water.
Meng Yijue stretched out his finger and poked lightly, the dumpling flicked softly, his body was full of resilience.He carefully climbed onto Shui Tuanzi's back, and Ling Yuan immediately jumped up.
The water dumpling was carrying two people, but it was still floating steadily in the water.The body flexibly retracted and bounced, and immediately swam quickly in the water, heading straight for the depths of the sea.
Meng Yijue is like riding on a cute "jelly boat", bouncing up and down with the waves.Some dolphins were also attracted by the salty sea breeze, jumping joyfully around the "jelly boat".
Ling Yuan took off her coat, lightly jumped into the water, and swam in the sea to her heart's content.
For water monsters, swimming in water is even more comfortable than walking on the ground.The young man plunged into the deep sea with a single plunge, and soon surfaced, holding a very beautiful colorful conch in his hand.
"Master, look, does this look good?"
The boy's jewel-like light blue eyes looked at Meng Yijue with sparkle.His black hair was soaked by the sea water, and it was a little messy on his forehead. Crystal drops of water dripped from it and slowly slid along his slender body. He looked fit, handsome and powerful.
Perhaps, such a high-spirited young man deserves to be called "Sea God"...
Looking at his tender eyes, Meng Yijue thought quietly.
On this day, accompanied by Ling Yuan, Meng Yijue had a great time.He learned how to catch big lobsters, sea crabs, all kinds of sea fish, and even a squid; Ling Yuan also caught some fat shellfish from the bottom of the sea.
They cooked heartily on the top of the "jelly boat", golden grilled fish, crispy shrimp balls, garlic scallops, honey sauce abalone, crab roe tofu, fried squid rings... all kinds of delicious dishes are served in turn, and the stomach is full full.
As night fell, the happy day came to an end temporarily.Shui Tuanzi, who undertook the task of going out to sea for a day, has fallen asleep at this moment, drifting with the waves in the very center of the sea.
Lingyuan and Meng Yijue lay side by side on the soft backs of the dumpling, looking at the round moon in the sky.
Looking around, there is an endless sea on all sides, and there is not a trace of land in sight.Seagulls flying in the sky during the day also return to their nests at this time.
There is silence between the sea and the sky, only the continuous whispering sound of the waves can be heard.
It seems that there is only one pair of people left in the whole world, an isolated island.
"Master, it's very quiet here, just like our own world, no one will disturb you."
Hearing Ling Yuan's whisper, Meng Yijue agreed from the bottom of his heart, "Yes, it seems to be far away from everything..." He gently embraced the young man's shoulder, "Ling Yuan, I am really happy today."
Ling Yuan smiled, and pressed the water ball boat she was sitting on.
"Master, what do you think of this bed?"
"Boat? You mean this enlarged dumpling?"
Meng Yijue didn't realize it for a while, and only heard Lingyuan say it again seriously, "This, bed, how about it? It's very soft and elastic, and it won't fall apart no matter how you roll it."
Meng Yijue suddenly came back to his senses, and was shocked: "What, you want to be here?"
Although there is no one else here, it is in the wild, and it is still at sea!
He subconsciously wants to hide, but now there is a vast sea on all sides, there is nowhere to hide!
Looking at the charming smile on the young man's face, Meng Yijue broke out in cold sweat.
——Now, you really are on a thief ship!
