On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids

The black shadow turned around in the water gracefully and comfortably, and when the elders were about to jump out of their nervous hearts, finally a mysterious light flashed, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the elders.

"Tao, Taotie..." This is the well-informed Fourth Elder.Obviously, once the original body of the uninvited guest was called out, not only the elders of the mermaid tribe, but also the sea tribe who came one after another involuntarily put on a vigilant posture against the enemy.

"Xuan..." Lanxi was about to step forward, but the second elder, who used to be timid, covered her mouth, and the old man tightly dragged the little highness to the safe area behind the large army.

Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come.What is the reason for this powerful monster that can only be found in legends to come to the East China Sea suddenly?

The Great Elder glanced at this scene, heaved a sigh of relief, took up the responsibility, stood up and asked, "I wonder what orders you have come here?" His tone was polite and alienated.

As the saying goes, well water does not interfere with river water. Since the decline of the original land, the East China Sea has not received such a "guest" for hundreds of years.I saw the venerable standing in front of me not far away, with a natural expression, as if the other party was not surrounded by a group of sea clans.

The Fourth Elder Lan Ding observed more carefully. His eyes fell on the visitor's sleeves, and his pupils shrank suddenly—the other's clothes were clean, and even though they were in the bottom of the sea, they still did not touch any water.

Is it because of carrying water-proof beads, or is it a domain supported entirely by spiritual power?But no matter which one it is, it should not be underestimated.

Landing has already increased the opponent's danger level by two levels during such a short scrutiny.

"Looking for someone." Xuan Mo, who was surrounded by a group of sea clan, said lightly.

"Who do you want to find?" the Great Elder asked.

...Lancey who was covering her mouth and hiding behind her: "...uh, uh uh..."

Xuan Mo was silent for a while, and took out a bright red gift box with the word "Fu" from the mustard space and handed it to the First Elder. In the latter's surprised eyes, he said lightly: "I came to find you."

Lancey: "..."

The Great Elder's eyes moved down and stopped at the objects in the hands of the visitor, his head was a little knotted.If he didn't guess wrong, what the other party mentioned was... health care products given to the elderly at home during the Chinese New Year?

The reason why he knew so clearly was because he occasionally heard seafarers discussing what to give home during the Chinese New Year—melatonin was still popular in those years.

"Hello." Xuan Mo said at this time, "This is my first visit, please forgive me if I disturb you."

No one answered.The Great Elder, who is known for his wisdom, was also a little confused at the moment, and the atmosphere was silent, revealing a bit of untimely embarrassment, only the sound of Lanxi wanting to break free.

——What the hell is Xuan Mo doing!

In the end, it was the third elder who broke the silence with a word. He detected some clues from the imprint of a powerful monster on Lan Xi, and asked tentatively, "You are the little highness...?"

Xuan Mo: "Yes."

The third elder took a breath, but he hadn't finished speaking: "Princess?"

Xuan Mo: "..."

The alarm was lifted, and all the Hai people who wanted to watch the excitement were all driven away, along with the onlookers, and Lan Xi, who was hesitant to speak.

I know that there is a conversation about myself not far away, but I can't hear it anyway. This feeling is really bad!

——After being discovered and kicked out for the third time, Lancey finally stopped eavesdropping.

Swimming slowly and depressed, Lanxi suddenly found someone calling his name around him. Turning his head, he saw that it was his former friends, Clam Pearl Xiaozhu, Seahorse Wayne, and Hairtail Ani, these three The guy was hiding in the coral, showing his face and secretly saying hello to Lancey.

"Hey Xiaoxi, long time no see."

"...We know a good place where we can hear the elders talk, do you want to come?"

"Come on!" Lancey said without hesitation.

The place the three little friends pointed to was an empty cave under the coral bushes.The cave is not deep, and the opening is not big, the top is covered by seaweed and coral, and the place is remote and few people come, so the four guys just sneaked in the seaweed, deliberately reducing the sense of presence to a minimum.

——This is the basic skill they developed when they were naughty and avoided adults.

What's more, the person talking at the moment didn't have the mind to deliberately probe around with his spiritual sense, so Lanxi managed to catch the intermittent voice for a while.

"Your Highness, he is still... a child, you..."

"We can't accept... Princess..."

"We mermaids...don't regret..."

——It was the elders who were arguing, and they really were talking about themselves!It was strange that there was no Xuan Mo's voice.

Is it really because there is something important that Xuan Mo is looking for the Great Elder?Or, is it a mission sent by the association?Lanxi's body crawled motionlessly among the sea sand and algae, but her thoughts disappeared like a stray dog ​​with prolapsed anus.

No, not a mission, they were discussing him.

Time seems to pass very slowly.

The quarrels among the elders went from flat to intense, and then they seemed to be tired, and then slowly returned to flat.Just when the friends were about to fall asleep, Lanxi's ears caught a clear and faint voice, it was Xuan Mo!

"I... swear by the primordial spirit..."

Yuanshen swears?Is there anything that can make Xuan Mo swear by the primordial spirit?The oath of a demon is different from that of a human being. After taking an oath, it means signing a contract with Tiandao, and the breach of the contract will definitely be punished accordingly.

As the top-level oath, the Yuanshen oath represents the implication that can be imagined.

"Come out." Annie said softly.

The four little guys sneaked back.

When the elder found Lanxi, Lanxi was pretending to talk about human life with his friends, the iron boxes that can be seen everywhere on the road, the tall buildings like clouds, and the subway that shuttles underground like an earth dragon...

Perhaps because of the support from the audience, Lanxi became more and more excited as he talked about the mobile phone. When talking about the mobile phone, he also took the initiative to show his Yali 8s.

The Great Elder watched Lanxi quietly from a distance, and he could even see his stunned and sad feeling caused by the damage of his mobile phone.

...Compared to the seabed, his little Highness seems to be more suitable for human society.

Thinking of the conversation with Taotie just now, the Great Elder sighed inaudibly, that's all, let them solve the matter of the cubs by themselves.

"Grandpa..." Seeing this, Lanxi, who had been secretly paying attention to her surroundings, couldn't help but stop.

Great Elder: "Go back in a few days."

"what?"

"I heard from Xuan Mo that your final exam is coming soon."

Lancey: "..." What the hell!

---

The world is changing so fast that Lancey finds it hard to adapt.

Xuan Mo left after that conversation, without giving Lan Xi a chance to inquire about the content of the conversation at all, but the "Melatonin" he left behind was taken away by the elders.

Lanxi couldn't help clicking her tongue, and she became even more curious.

……In the end what happened?What exactly did Xuan Mo do to change the elders' impression of him?You know, when Xuan Mo first arrived, the attitude of the elders towards him was different from what it is now.

Because of that primordial oath?

The curiosity in my heart was about to overflow, but this time, even the second grandfather, who is usually the most talkative, kept the content of the conversation secret to the end.In the end, I was so entangled by Lanxi that I had no choice but to say a word to prevaricate: "Xuan Mo is very good..."

"Since you like it, go after it."

?

He really likes Xuan Mo and plans to pursue it... But why does it sound a bit strange for such words to come from the mouth of his elders?

And, if he remembers correctly, the purpose of his going home this time is to solve his physical problems, right?

... Is it really necessary to first achieve the great harmony of the body, and then pursue the unity of the soul?

Cough, it sounds like... good?

On the fourth day in the East China Sea, the Great Elder began to drive people away unceremoniously.As a parent, as long as he thinks of his child skipping school and staying at home, and is annoying to find out the news, the elder will feel a little upset when he sees him.

Lancey: "... Grandpa, you were not like this before."

It's coming again, it seems that since the last time, everyone around me has become wrong.Xuan Mo must have said something to the grandpa, the old grandpas didn't care whether he attended class or not.

The Great Elder took a deep breath, and suppressed the sudden urge to beat someone up in his heart, "Aren't you coming back this time to solve the trouble?"

"Yes." Lancy nodded.

"Your fourth grandfather has already found a solution for you."

"What?" Lancey's eyes lit up.

The Great Elder glanced at him, and slowly uttered four words: "...Desensitization therapy."

---

The next day, the elders sent Lanxi to the vicinity of the floating island, watching his back, they were speechless for a long time.

"Are we doing the right thing?" Even though the agreement has been reached, at this moment, the Great Elder still couldn't help but doubt.

"What's wrong? Your Highness likes that Taotie, and Taotie also likes your Highness. In order to dispel our worries, Taotie even swears by the primordial spirit, Boss, what are you worried about?" The third elder has always been so direct.

The second elder nodded in agreement.

The great elder let out a sigh of relief.

Only the fourth elder lowered his head and frowned, as if he was thinking about something important.

"... Fourth, fourth?" The third elder shouted displeased.

"what?"

"You have a problem with what I said?"

The fourth elder hesitated and asked: "No, I was just thinking, what is Taotie thinking?"

The other three mermaids were slightly stunned. That's right, why did Taotie deliberately tell them not to reveal the content of the conversation to His Highness, and to keep the oath of the primordial spirit secret? The title of "desensitization therapy"?

After a while, the Second Elder asked uncertainly, "Probably... young people's interest?"

These old fish don't understand.

The third elder rolled his eyes and said sharply: "Fart, you obviously want to take advantage of our little Highness."

——It’s still cheaper to deliver it to your door!

---

Returning to City S, Lan Xi stood in front of Xuanmo's door, hesitating without knocking.

Not long ago, he just got a new mobile phone from his assistant Zhao Xiaotao, and borrowed Du Niang to understand the so-called "desensitization therapy".

... He is not stupid. Combined with many previous clues, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind that he couldn't believe: Xuan Mo couldn't be... like him, right?

It was the only explanation he could think of.

Click.

The door was opened from the inside, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Lanxi.

...Don't be cowardly, just do it.

As soon as the mermaid gritted her teeth, a carp pounced on it.Unexpectedly, the other party subconsciously withdrew his body, and Lan Xi's face... happened to hit the other party's embarrassing position...

A familiar electric current swept through.

Damn, so hard.
