Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【The Awakening of the Mermaid Patriarch】

The next day, Mu Qiu was woken up by Chu Qingtian—the way of waking up, um, was a bit fiery.

The whole person's waist is sore and his back hurts, and his anger when he wakes up is worse than before.Mu Qiu suddenly slapped Chu Qingtian's face, and muttered angrily: "Go away... I don't want to get up, and I don't want to eat..."

Chu Qingtian's voice was full of smiles, "Qiuqiu, if you agree with me driving the person outside the door away, it doesn't matter even if you sleep all day."

Mu Qiu regained consciousness, "Who?"

Chu Qingtian looked at him with regret.

"The Snow Lotus King is here?" Mu Qiu sat up suddenly, looking forward to it.

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, feeling sour in his heart, "Are you refreshed?"

Mu Qiu didn't realize the danger, but asked happily, "Is it him? He came so soon?"

With a low curse, Chu Qingtian pushed the beaming guide onto the bed and kissed him hard for a while.

But Mu Qiu didn't cooperate, kept dodging, and said with disgust: "Stop making trouble, I have to wash up and go see the guests!"

This made Chu Qingtian even more annoyed, his slightly thin lips moved to the guide's neck, and sucked mercilessly.

The needle-like pain spread, and Mu Qiu couldn't help crying out, "It hurts~"

Only then did Chu Qingtian pull back his strength, looking at the bright red marks on the guide's neck, he was satisfied and distressed at the same time.

Mu Qiu ran to the cloakroom, changed several clothes one after another, and finally gave up - unless he was wrapped in a big scarf, he couldn't cover it at all.

Chu Qingtian leaned on the door frame with his hands folded, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Satisfied now?" Mu Qiu glanced at him, then returned to the red mark in the mirror, suddenly realized something.

"I said..." Mu Qiu couldn't believe it, "You can't be...jealous, right?"

Chu Qingtian still had no expression on his face, and his tone was eccentric, "Should I not be jealous?"

Mu Qiu understood in seconds.

He suppressed the constant smile in his heart, took the initiative to approach the sentinel, and generously offered his soft lips.

It wasn't until Mu Qiu kissed the sour sentinel submissively that he smiled in satisfaction, "Is it better?"

The energetic sentry circled the man in his arms and said hoarsely, "It's not enough..."

The handsome guide smiled helplessly and proudly.

-

After a while, the two came out of the room.

In the living room on the first floor, besides Aubrey and Lin Qing, there were also the leader Snow Lotus and a young sentinel.

The leader of Xuelian was standing by the window, looking at the layers of flowers and trees in the small courtyard, when he looked up, he saw Mu Qiu coming down the winding stairs, the red mark on his neck was very conspicuous.

He wore an ordinary cotton T-shirt against his white skin, which looked very age-reducing.

The accompanying sentry paid a military salute in a panic, then quickly lowered their heads and stammered: "Report, report to the captain, the person has been delivered safely!"

Chu Qingtian gave a "hmm" and gave Lin Qing a wink, it was convenient for him to take him down and resettle him.

The leader Xuelian still had that cold and noble attitude, except for the slight fluctuation in the eyes when he saw Mu Qiu, the rest of the time he didn't even blink his eyes.

"It's not bad here." Although he said this, the meaning of "not bad" could not be heard in his flat and cold voice.

Mu Qiu smiled, and took the initiative to hug him.

The leader of Xuelian frowned slightly, with obvious dislike on his face, "Smell of a sentinel."

Mu Qiu smiled, and continued the topic just now: "I don't know if the Xuelian tribe can adapt to the climate here. If possible, it would be good to move here--Chu Qingtian said that the fairy star is the largest plant star in the entire galaxy, Every green plant here is protected by the Federal Environment Act."

The leader of Xuelian nodded, didn't say yes or no, and asked instead: "Where is Xiaoxuelian?"

Mu Qiu turned to look at Chu Qingtian.

Chu Qingtian actually didn't want to talk, but he met the guide's wet eyes and was finally defeated, "I was taken to the morning market early in the morning by my grandmother."

"Then you should be back soon—have you had breakfast?" The latter sentence was addressed to the leader Xuelian.

"It's 10:35 am federal time, it's past breakfast time, and plants don't need to eat." The leader of the snow lotus said lightly.

Mu Qiu smiled shyly, "Then...have a cup of tea—plants should be able to drink tea, right?"

Snow Lotus King nodded, then pointed to a half-open room upstairs and asked, "What's behind that door?"

Mu Qiu glanced at it in surprise, "Which one? The one I just walked out of?"

"The one next to it."

Mu Qiu remembered that there seemed to be the blue shell of the mermaid patriarch.

The leader Xuelian didn't wait for his answer, and went straight up the stairs.

"Eh?" Mu Qiu was about to catch up, but was stopped by Chu Qingtian.

Chu Qingtian's expression was a bit dignified, "He seems to have sensed something... Maybe someone is going to wake up, is it a guide?" He said, looking at Aubrey.

Aubrey grabbed the struggling little black cat and shook his head violently, "Boss, you know, I have never felt anything about a guide!"

"You are the only sentinel who is not combined here!" Chu Qingtian glared at him angrily.

Aubrey pouted aggrievedly, grabbed the spirit body and drew circles aside.

Lin Qing suddenly ran in from the outside and looked at Chu Qingtian in a panic, "Boss, I suddenly have a strange feeling..."

Chu Qingtian nodded, affirming his guess, "I feel it too."

Lin Qing opened his eyes wide and stammered: "Really, really? There is a guide to wake up! Will, will it be... the deputy team?"

Lu Xun had just stepped into the living room, and by coincidence, when he heard this sentence, Simon who was next to him burst out laughing.

Lu Xun's face turned dark, and he strode forward, grabbed Lin Qing's wrist, and threw it over his shoulder, and the black-haired, black-eyed sentinel lay flat on the ground.

"I want to wake up, huh?" Lu Xun looked at him condescendingly, "Do you think I'm a ten-year-old kid?"

"No, no, deputy team, I was wrong..." Lin Qing wished to go back in time, Lu Xun didn't hear that sentence.

Not only did Elsa not defend her own sentinel, but she put her hands on her hips and trembled with laughter.

Lin Qing suddenly felt that life was gloomy.

Next to him, Aubrey laughed "hehe" very unkindly-it feels great to watch others get beaten!However, most of the time, he is the one who gets beaten up!

Well, speaking of which, isn't the deputy team always not paying attention to these things?Why are you suddenly angry?

Mu Qiu looked at Simon's eyes intertwined with surprise and admiration, and understood in seconds.

Hehe, man!

-

Upstairs, a sudden gushing of majestic spiritual power interrupted the excitement downstairs.

Everyone raised their heads and looked over there in surprise.

The sentries instinctively set up a mental screen to protect the guide.

The impact of mental power was fleeting, and the next moment, it was completely enveloped by another strange mental wave.

Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian in surprise, "Is it... the leader Xuelian?"

Chu Qingtian nodded. He was very familiar with the spiritual power of the leader Xuelian. If it weren't for this spiritual barrier at Feixuexing, they might not be able to stand here safely today.

"Qiuqiu, is the mermaid patriarch awakened?" Elsa sat next to Lin Qing, talking to Mu Qiu through several people.

Mu Qiu nodded, "I think so...the previous mental power probably belonged to Lan Wei, and I entered his spiritual domain when I was treating his wounds."

"What a powerful talent!" Elsa praised sincerely.

Mu Qiu nodded. The spiritual domain of the mermaid patriarch is a sea, which seems to contain infinite power, broad and deep.

The scene inside the door was completely blocked by the barrier set up by the snow lotus leader, and the people outside had no way of knowing.

Just now, although the mental wave sent by the mermaid patriarch was only for a moment, it was enough for the unbound sentinels within a hundred miles to perceive it.

Chu Qingtian led a few people to stand around the small courtyard, ready to deal with special situations at any time.

From sunset, to sunrise, to sunset, for two whole days, the small courtyard was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

Mu Qiu and Chu Qingtian took the children and moved to the guest room downstairs, because they couldn't get close to that bedroom at all.

Mu Qiu is fine, the spirit wave of the guide is not aggressive, but the sentries are miserable, they will be attacked mercilessly if they get close to the edge of the barrier.

Aubrey didn't believe in evil, so he had to try.As a result, as soon as he stretched out a hand, his whole body was bounced up with an "ooo", and his strong body flew out of the window like a large sandbag, crushing and demolishing the opposite leaf plum in front of the window.

Elsa laughed, poked her head out of the window, and joked, "Aubrey, crushing a plant—you're breaking the law!"

The human-shaped sandbag clumsily put the broken branch back, and frantically pretended to be intact, "No, it's not broken, you read it wrong."

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, the mental barrier of the upstairs room was suddenly withdrawn, and the next moment, the leader of Snow Lotus in white clothes appeared on the stairs holding a blue mermaid - wearing a white robe that was too wide - with snow-white long hair. Hair a little messy.

"I can walk by myself..." the blue-haired and blue-tailed mermaid protested softly.

The leader of Xuelian didn't change his pace, and replied unhurriedly: "You can't swim on the floor, and you can't swim on the stairs."

Reflexively, Mu Qiu took out the luxury version of the mermaid walker from Space Newry, which was specially reserved by Dean Cole for Lan Wei, and then, seeing the clear and cold gaze of the leader of Shang Xuelian, quickly took it back.

However, Blue Tail has seen it.

"Son of God, what is that?" The blue mermaid who had obviously grown up looked at Mu Qiu eagerly.His voice is ethereal and clear, as if it smells like the sea—a frequency that humans can hear.

Hearing his address to Mu Qiu, the leader of Xuelian was obviously taken aback, looked at Mu Qiu thoughtfully, and quickly returned to his original state.

"Mermaid walker." Mu Qiu said honestly.

"Mermaid... walker?" Blue Tail asked expectantly with bright eyes, "Is it for me?"

Mu Qiu gave Leader Xuelian a helpless look, took out the mermaid walker again, and put it on the floor, "President Cole gave it to you, and they also have Green Tail and Golden Tail."

This kind of mermaid walker is tailor-made by the Academy of Sciences according to the height and weight of each mermaid and the bending degree of the tail. It is similar to the balance car in the ancient earth era. It can flexibly change the travel by leaning forward, backward, and left and right. The route and speed can even complete various actions such as jumping, climbing, going up and down stairs, and levitating.

In this way, mermaids are perfectly adapted to life on land, just like ordinary people.

The leader of Xuelian didn't even look at it, and sat directly on the wooden chair next to him, the blue Yingying mermaid was still held in his arms.

Blue Tail watched helplessly, looking pitiful.

The leader Xuelian's extended fingers caressed his back, as if he didn't notice his desire, and didn't care about the people in the room.

The others have long been stunned by the appearance of these two people, and have not reacted for a long time.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Mu Qiu touched the sentinel beside him, thinking he should say something.

At this time, little radish ran over with a kick, and pulled the walker to Lanwei's feet.

"Thank you." Blue Tail said kindly.

Little Luobo grinned, stretched out his small hand, and secretly touched the smooth and beautiful tail of the fish exposed outside the robe.

Leader Xuelian looked down at him.

The little guy raised his face and smiled flatteringly.

The leader Xuelian looked away, as if he didn't intend to care about it.

The little guy breathed a sigh of relief, looked greedily at the beautiful fish tail, and ran back to Mu Qiu with a smile on his face.

Blue Tail's eyes followed the little guy's movements, and inadvertently found the little white fish sitting on the pumpkin's arm, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Leader Snow Lotus was aroused by the mermaid's movements, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Blue Tail's eyes widened, and his overly slender fingers tremblingly pointed at the little mermaid, "That's, that's..."

Xiao Bai sucked his fingers, and looked at him curiously with his big watery eyes.

"You can't eat your fingers, Xiaobai is not good!" Pumpkin said with a straight face on purpose.

Little Baiyu quickly took out his wet fingers, hid them behind his back, and said softly, "Xiaobai, be good!"

Only then did Pumpkin nodded in vain on the little guy's forehead in satisfaction, "It won't be allowed in the future."

The little guy nodded quickly.

The two palm-sized little mermaids look especially petite in the golden arms of the pumpkin, and of course they are also extremely cute.

The blue mermaid couldn't take his eyes off it.

It was only then that Mu Qiu noticed his appearance—it seemed that it was different from before.

If the former juvenile mermaid was beautiful and indistinguishable between male and female, the adult mermaid has an ethereal and graceful demeanor.

The baby fat on the cheeks disappeared, replaced by a clearer outline, the corners of the eyes and brows are also more slender, slightly raised, and the round nose is slightly childish, but it also adds a bit of delicacy, especially the mouth, which is light pink and the corners of the mouth It rises naturally, and when it opens slowly, the voice in the throat is like the most beautiful music, which is fascinating.

"So...beautiful!" Elsa rested her chin, her big blue eyes filled with admiration.

Mu Qiu also nodded hurriedly. He touched Simon's arm, but his eyes didn't move away from the mermaid. "It's like walking out of a cartoon, isn't it?"

Simon nodded honestly, "It's even better than cartoons, probably no cartoonist can draw such charm!"

The three guides exchanged thoughts with each other, completely disregarding the fact that the client and his own man were by his side, and their faces turned black.

However, the mermaid who was praised by them didn't pay attention to this side, but was engrossed in looking at the little white fish nestled in the pumpkin's arms and acting coquettishly.

Pumpkin noticed Blue Tail's gaze and gave him a naive smile.

But Xiaobai felt threatened, and when Pumpkin wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his pointed nails and waved maliciously at Blue Tail.

Blue Tail opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking a little bewildered.

Little White Fish thought he was frightened, so he grinned triumphantly and smiled happily.

Mu Qiu saw this scene completely in his eyes, and rubbed his temples with a headache, "I really don't know who Xiaobai learned his temperament from - he is the youngest next year, but he has the most eyes."

"If you have more eyes, you won't be bullied. When you grow up and marry, it will be someone else's headache." Chu Qingtian comforted with a smile.

However, Mu Qiu was not comforted.

At this time, Blue Tail finally couldn't help but speak, "Son of God..."

"You probably already guessed it, he is the white egg in the colorful shell." Mu Qiu really couldn't bear to keep it secret, and told the story of Xiao Bai's birth in detail.

In addition, there is also the experience of everyone after they came out of the seabed, including the current situation of Luwei and others. Of course, Mu Qiu deliberately concealed the part of the underwater adventure.

Lanwei's expression kept changing with Mu Qiu's narration, sometimes nervous, sometimes rejoicing, sometimes surprised, and finally, it was all attributed to deep gratitude.

"Son of God, I don't even know how to thank you... Mom said before she left that someone would come to rescue us, but we waited for a long time but we didn't get it..." He trembled his lips, and the crystal tears rolled in his eyes. The appearance that cannot be lost is enough to arouse the pity in the hearts of all men and women.

Mu Qiu patted his hand and said with a smile, "It's all over. Also, call me 'Mu Qiu', 'Qiu Qiu' is also fine, Shenzi... sounds a bit awkward."

The leader of Xuelian looked at Mu Qiu in surprise, "You don't know what this title means?"

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Could it be...do you have any explanation?"

Leader Xuelian frowned rarely, obviously not wanting to say more.

Although he was puzzled, Mu Qiu didn't ask any more questions—he thought to himself, maybe he should find a time to have a simple talk with Chief Xuelian.

Lanwei nodded obediently, and called out happily, "Qiuqiu."

Mu Qiu responded with a smile.

Blue Tail's long eyelashes blinked, and two round and moist teardrops finally fell down and hit the wooden floor, making a tinkling sound.

Tears, which were originally transparent, gradually turned into plump and solid pearls the moment they came into contact with the air.The big pearl rolled to Mu Qiu's feet, and he subconsciously picked it up.

"Huh? Can mermaid tears really turn into pearls?" But Green Tail and the others didn't!

Blue Tail also seemed very surprised, and said a little helplessly: "I, I don't know, it wasn't like this before..."

The leader of Snow Lotus didn't look surprised at all. He stroked the long blue hair of the mermaid, and said calmly: "Blue Tail is not an ordinary mermaid, but a royal family among the mermaids. The coming-of-age ceremony has completely awakened his dormant blood. Tears are not uncommon."

"Royal family? Why don't I know?" Blue Tail was obviously surprised, "And... what is the coming-of-age ceremony?"

The leader of Xuelian raised the corners of his lips like never before, leaned close to the ear of the mermaid, and murmured in a voice that everyone could hear: "The coming-of-age ceremony of the royal family is union..."

Such blunt words did not make Blue Tail feel any embarrassment.Instead, he happily wagged his tail and looked at the leader Xuelian with admiration, "You are very powerful."

The leader of Snow Lotus nodded solemnly, "That's natural."

The onlookers were stunned - they didn't understand the logic of non-human beings.

-

The leader of Xuelian carefully checked Xiao Xuelian's condition, and reiterated the previous statement - Xiao Xuelian's evolution direction is opposite to that of other Xuelian people.

"Perhaps, he is not the real Xuelian." The leader of Xuelian said lightly.

Mu Qiu was taken aback, "It's not a real snow lotus... what do you mean?"

"His body is a snow lotus, but his soul is not." The leader of the snow lotus said calmly, remembering the scene of the little snow lotus when he was born, "The blood lineage of the snow lotus family is different from that of human beings, and there is no need for male and female mating—every snow lotus plant is born in the life cycle. At the end, it will pass its own breath to another snow lotus - the snow lotus with the breath of the tribe will grow into a snow lotus, and the one without life is just an ordinary flower, no different from other plants.

"Little snow lotus was originally an ordinary snow lotus, and no one from the clan instilled life into him. However, one day suddenly, he grew a body - able to run, jump, soak in hot springs, and be with me. Talk—something no other snow lotus person can do in their lifetime."

At the end of the hearing, Mu Qiu finally understood the meaning of the leader Xuelian, "You mean, there is a...human soul in Xuewa's body?"

The leader Xuelian nodded, stared at Mu Qiu with deep eyes, and said slowly: "This is not surprising, is it?"

At that moment, Mu Qiu saw a clear message from those eyes that seemed to be able to see everything - he knew!He knows his origins!

The leader of Xuelian raised his eyebrows, patted Mu Qiu's stiff shoulder affectionately, and said with a slight smile in his voice, "Why are you so scared? I found out the first time I saw you...you don't know?"

Mu Qiu has a sad face - you never said that, okay?

Such an expression obviously pleased Chief Xuelian. He leaned over, kissed Mu Qiu's forehead, and said: "Practice what I taught you last time, it will be of great use."

The ability to communicate with plants?Mu Qiu blushed - he had been slack for a long time.

In order to hide his guilty conscience, Mu Qiu exaggeratedly rubbed the position where he was kissed, and said with disgust: "You are all mermaids, why don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

"That's a partner, you are a child." Leader Xuelian said seriously.

Mu Qiu stretched out his arms blankly.

The leader of Xuelian showed a helpless look, and embraced him lovingly.

Chu Qingtian stood at the corner with a faint smile on his lips.
