Picked up a deep sea lord

Luo Ling sank into the water, only revealing a pair of dark eyes, with a little resentment.

Ye Jian patted his head, and the little mermaid buried himself in the bathtub, refusing to show his head.

Ye Jian: "Do you want breakfast?"

A second later, Luo Ling emerged from the bottom of the water with a gurgle, blinking her eyes lightly, as innocent as if nothing had happened: "Yes."

Before Ye Jian could speak, he consciously shrank a little bit, and then a little bit smaller, just enough to be hugged by Ye Jian.

Ye Jian smiled and petted the little mermaid, went outside the bathroom to take back the blanket that had been hanging by the window to dry overnight, and took out a roll of clean bandages - he bought them specially when he came back yesterday.

The snow-white bandage was wrapped around Luo Ling's fish tail several times, gently covering the pale pink flesh exposed due to the loss of scales, and a beautiful bow was tied at the remaining end.

Luo Ling nestled in Ye Jian's arms, patting the blanket with her translucent tail fin, obviously liking the knot Ye Jian tied for him.

In this way, the wound will not rub against the blanket easily, and it will not hurt.

In fact, after being picked up by Ye Jian, his injury has improved a lot.Unlike the past, when the scales were forcibly peeled off by the sharp claws of the clansmen, the blood flow continued, and it was soaked in the dirty stagnant lake, the pain was excruciating...

Luo Ling's eyes darkened, and she quietly buried her face in Ye Jian's shoulder.

His expression was gloomy, but when he looked up at Ye Jian again, he had that obedient look again.

He leaned over and rubbed Ye Jian's face lightly.

Ye Jian's eyes were soft, and she walked out the door holding the little mermaid.

He planned to go to Area C to solve the problem of the pass.

If they don't have a pass, they won't even be able to enter the b-level city afterwards, let alone search for the lake of dusk.

On the first floor of the hotel, the shop owner yawned idly, following Luo Ling in Ye Jian's arms, "You mermaid..."

Ye Jian: "I won't sell it."

The store owner paused: "Is this your pet?"

Ye Jian: "It's not a pet, it's a small fish I raise."

The shop owner added a little curiosity and looked at Luo Ling repeatedly.It seemed to be strange that there was something special about the mermaid who was obviously just a pet, so that this young man could cherish it so much.

Luo Ling's eyes were cold, and he looked back without saying a word.

The shop owner shuddered inexplicably, and quickly turned his head away, not daring to say anything more.

Ye Jian didn't understand, so she looked down at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling raised her face innocently and blinked at him.

Ye Jian thought to herself: How cute.

Walking out of the hotel, he held Luo Ling in his arms and stopped in front of the alley that branched off to the left and right, lost in thought.

Luo Ling whispered, "Go to the left."

Ye Jian: "...Oh."

The market in the morning was still very lively. A hot pot was set up at the stall closest to the alley. The stall owner was a middle-aged woman, her hands were covered with flour, and she deftly filled pieces of dough with meat with her ten fingers and kneaded it into a round shape. , thrown into a steaming soup pot.

The hot soup is tumbling, and the meat is fragrant.A little mermaid who has never seen the world is suddenly a little greedy.

Ye Jian: "Excuse me, what is this?"

Stall owner: "Wonton, would you like a bowl?"

Ye Jian: "Two bowls, thank you."

The stall owner noticed that the boy in Ye Jian's arms leaked a black fish tail from under the blanket, and without saying anything, he took out two disposable plastic bowls.

Wontons are very cheap, only one coin per bowl.The round wontons are rolled into the bowl with the hot soup, sprinkled with a little green onion, and the black peppercorns float on the white soup, rising and falling with the wontons.

Luo Ling held the bowl and took a sip of hot soup first.The delicious and slightly spicy hot soup dispelled the morning chill, and both he and Ye Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is a fish in the deep sea called barracuda." Luo Ling bit off a wonton, and the smell of meat filled his mouth. He narrowed his eyes contentedly, "That fish also has a special spicy taste, and it's as delicious as wonton."

Ye Jian: "Barracuda? What a cute name."

Luo Ling immediately said: "It's not cute, that kind of fish is ugly, only the meat is delicious... When Ye Jian and I return to the sea, I will catch Ye Jian to eat."

Ye Jian remembered what the little mermaid said earlier about catching fish by herself, so she couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Luo Ling raised her head: "?"

"Hurry up and eat the wontons," Ye Jian said solemnly, "It's getting cold."

After a bowl of wontons, the whole person is warm.Luo Ling touched her stomach, feeling very satisfied.

He has not eaten meat for a long time.

Although he is a little mermaid, he needs to eat more meat to grow up quickly.But meat in human cities seems to be very expensive, so he is satisfied once or twice once in a while.

Ye Jian got up to pay, and asked the stall owner by the way, "How can I get to Area C?"

"Area C? It's half an hour away from here, but if you take the bus, it's only 10 minutes away."

——Ten minutes later, Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and sat on the "bus" that the stall owner called.

In Ye Jian's eyes, it was a long and rectangular iron shell with two rows of cold iron seats inside. The body was suspended on the ground and operated by a "magnetic force" that Ye Jian had never heard of.

There was some bumps on the bus, Luo Ling didn't like this feeling very much, and leaned his forehead on Ye Jian's shoulder without saying a word.

Ye Jian stroked the little mermaid: "We'll live in another place when the matter of the pass is settled."

Luo Ling raised his head: "Why?"

Ye Jian: "You don't like that shop owner, do you?"

Luo Ling didn't say a word for a few seconds, then shook his head: "But, it's very cheap there, as long as ten coins a day, we can stay for many days."

Now he can't help Ye Jian, so he can only reduce Ye Jian's burden as much as possible.

"Money is not a problem," Ye Jian said, "If we have a pass, we can go out and make money."

Luo Ling: "Well...forget it, I think it's pretty good there."

"Besides, people here regard me as a commodity, even if I change places, it doesn't make any difference."

He said it softly, but not particularly lost or sad.

Because he is weak, he is treated as a commodity.If he is strong enough, those people dare not despise him at all.

Although it will be some time before he becomes stronger, fortunately, he met Ye Jian.

Ye Jian is different from others.

Luo Ling looked at the person in front of him without blinking.

Ye Jian would never treat him as a commodity. Ye Jian was not those humans who despised him, nor were they those of the same race who hunted him down cruelly.

In this world, only Ye Jian was good to him, and only Ye Jian would be by his side.

Ye Jian would not abandon him.

Ye Jian found the little mermaid in her arms looking at her, suddenly became happy, and even shook her tail at her.

He raised his hand and poked Luo Ling's face lightly.

Luo Ling puffed up her cheeks.

The corner of Ye Jian's mouth raised slightly, and he poked it again.

Luo Ling grabbed his hand and looked at him eagerly.

Ye Jian smiled slightly, and said, "However, I still hope to change to a better market."

"In this case, I can still buy meat for you."

Compared with the bread he ate last night, he found that Luo Ling still preferred the meat-filled wontons.

Luo Ling said that he can eat fish, maybe this little mermaid wants to eat meat.

To verify her guess, Ye Jian asked, "Do you like meat?"

Luo Ling: "Well... I don't really like it either."

He was a little embarrassed, but also glad that Ye Jian could remember his preferences, and shook Ye Jian's hand: "What does Ye Jian like?"

"Me?" Ye Jian thought for a while, "I don't think I have anything I particularly like."

He lost his memory and wandered around this human city. Although he had come into contact with many things, except for the little mermaid in front of him, nothing left a particularly deep impression on him.

Luo Ling let out an "oh", her face remained unchanged, and she quietly hugged Ye Jian's hand tightly.

-

The bus stopped on the side of the road, Ye Jian got off the bus with Luo Ling in his arms, and came to area C.

Area c is the area where the explorer team is stationed. Although it is not clear what the explorer team is, Ye Jian can tell that the people here are different from other areas in terms of clothing and mental outlook.

In other words, some of them are like ordinary people, and some are not.

Luo Ling looked around curiously, while Ye Jian walked quietly on the side of the street, not in a hurry to ask someone.

After all, he was an outsider and brought a little mermaid with him, so he was bound to attract attention—as expected, after a while, someone stopped him.

"I haven't seen you before, new face?"

The one who spoke was a short man with probing and vigilant eyes.At the same time, eyes were cast from several places behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Jian: "I want to join the explorer team here."

"The explorer team is not so easy to join." The man sneered with disdain, "Besides, you don't look like a watcher."

Ye Jian said calmly, "You don't look like either."

His words were not a test, but an affirmation.Because he can be sure that the man in front of him is just an ordinary person and has no special ability.

The man was silent for a few seconds, then turned around: "Follow me."

Luo Ling tugged at the corner of Ye Jian's clothes.

Ye Jian said softly, "It's okay, let's go."

The thin man led them across the street to a house.

The door of the room is open, and the furnishings inside are very simple, a table and a chair.

A muscular, dark-skinned man sat on a chair, and several others stood behind him without saying a word.

The thin man walked over first, and said to the man sitting on the chair, "Olgo, that's him."

Orr nodded, and the thin man stood aside.

Luo Ling didn't expect that there were so many people in the room, and she seemed to be waiting for them, so she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian's face was calm, and her eyes were always indifferent.

Luo Ling immediately relaxed and nestled in Ye Jian's arms with peace of mind.

The atmosphere in the room was silent, and no one spoke, as if deliberately exerting pressure.

Ye Jian didn't care much, she quietly observed the people in front of her.

He could guess that there should be a special force in area c, and the two outsiders, he and Luo Ling, received special attention as soon as they entered here.

At this time, in this room, except for Orr who was sitting, everyone else was carrying weapons, either daggers or guns.

They are very confident that as long as the young man in front of him does something that offends them, they will let him understand what the price of offense is.

Of course, since he has already stepped into this room, this person will not be able to get out unharmed without paying anything.

Luo Ling's eyes were slightly cold. He sensed the malice of these people, and just as he was about to look back, Ye Jian raised her hand and patted him on the back comfortingly.

It was just a very simple movement. However, at the moment when Ye Jian raised his hand, his eyes suddenly darkened, as if the ink had condensed in the cold night.

The invisible black silk thread wandered from his fingers, spreading wantonly, like the shadow of the death scythe, quietly covering everyone in the room without them noticing.

The people in the room were still ignorant, but Luo Ling blinked.

The black silk threads are intertwined and intertwined, like soft and dense spider silk covering the people in the house. The sharp threads can easily cut through the flesh, but when they are about to touch the weapons on those people, they miss it and cannot touch them directly.

Ye Jian was not surprised.

When he met Mo Sen and Chen Rao before, he found that he couldn't manipulate this artificial device.The body structure of human beings is also different from that of alien beasts. The body of alien beasts is full of black silk threads that can be connected and controlled by him, while human beings are just normal flesh and bones, which are also not subject to his manipulation.

However, that doesn't mean he can't kill this group of people.

Ye Jian didn't do anything directly, but turned her gaze to Orr who was sitting on the chair: "You are the only watcher here."

The others in the room are ordinary people.

But Orr gave him a different feeling, or in other words, Orr was different from the people he met before.

This is a kind of intuition, a keen sense of aliens for the weak cubs of their own kind.

Orr still didn't know that the life and death of all of them had fallen into Ye Jian's hands. Hearing what the other said, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He is indeed the Watcher, but why can this man see it?

Being able to recognize his identity at a glance, could it be that the person in front of him is also a watcher, and stronger than him? !

Al was a little uneasy immediately, but he managed to calm down again when he remembered that his little brother was still by his side.

"It seems that you are indeed a watcher."

Auer was still calm when he said this, but the younger brothers behind him showed shock or fear that couldn't be concealed.

They didn't expect Ye Jian to be a watcher at such a young age!

What is the status of the watchman, they even wanted to give him a little color just now... It's really desperate!

Orr asked again: "Are you from the Divine Court, or the Forbidden Land?"

Ye Jian didn't answer.

His expression remained unchanged, but Orr, who was already bluffing, suddenly grabbed the armrest of the chair.

Not good, his emotions and anger are invisible, and he can't see through his thoughts at all...Damn it, this son's palace is extremely deep and unfathomable, and he looks like a boss at first glance!

At this moment, Orr panicked a little.

In fact, Ye Jian, who was "extremely deep and unfathomable", thought to herself: I don't understand what he said... Forget it, let's just keep silent.

He had guessed before that the watchman had special abilities, so he had a high status on the side of ordinary people.That's why he took the initiative to mention the watcher and brought the topic to this aspect.

As for "Sacred Court" and "Forbidden Land"... Although he had heard of it twice before, he had only been in this city for two days and hadn't had a chance to understand it, so he couldn't answer it at all.

Luo Ling looked up, and he found that Ye Jian's seemingly cold expression seemed familiar?

Luo Ling suddenly wanted to laugh, but in the next second her face was very indifferent and she held back.

"So what if it's a watchman?"

At this moment, a younger brother beside Orr spoke.

"We are the strongest explorer team in this city, not just any level of watcher can join!"

"You know, Olgo has teamed up with someone to hunt down a D-level beast! Can you do it?"

D-level alien beast?

Ye Jian calculated subconsciously.

White spar, two hundred to three hundred coins... not too strong.

pat.

He lightly threw a spar.

"I hunted it."

Al jumped up in surprise.

He could see clearly that what Ye Jian casually threw was a blue spar!

The blue spar represents a C-level alien beast, not to mention that this spar is plump, extremely dark, and of high quality. It is obviously the strongest among the C-level alien beasts!

In other words, in front of him is a c-level... no, could it be a b-level watcher? !

Auer was terrified, and the little brother next to him was also terrified. He was so terrified that he picked up the stool behind Auer and placed it gently behind Ye Jian.

Orr: "..."

Al coughed dryly: "Please sit down."

Ye Jian: "This is your stool, don't you want to sit?"

"No, no, no," Orr looked around. "My butt hurts after sitting for a long time. I'll be fine if I stand up."

While speaking, he kept peeking at the blue spar lying on the table from the corner of his eye.

Such a piece of blue spar was thrown casually by such a young man, so light and fluffy, it seems to be worthless at all...

Probably because Orr's eyes were too hot, Ye Jian silently reached out and took back the blue spar.

He was afraid of losing it.

Orr: Ah, it really is a boss, even the action of taking back the spar is so careless and amazing.

"So, do you want to join us?"

Ye Jian: "Well, can I?"

"Of course no problem, I'm more than happy!"

A powerful b-level watchman was going to join their explorer team, which was beyond his imagination for Orr.

However, he soon showed a troubled expression again.

"That's right, this kind of thing... I can't decide."

"A week ago, our captain took the team's main force out of the city, and he probably won't be able to return until the day after tomorrow. And all the affairs of our team can only be counted if she says..."

Orr's voice became lower and lower, but Ye Jian understood: "It's okay, I can come back the day after tomorrow."

He wasn't worried that Orr would lie to him, because this group of people was here and couldn't go anywhere else.

Orr quickly agreed, seeing Ye Jian turned around and was about to leave, he held back for a few seconds and said cautiously: "May I ask, why do you want to join us?"

Ye Jian didn't intend to hide it: "I need a pass."

"Passport?" Orr was startled, and immediately thought of something, "Yes, you can get a pass after joining the explorer team for three months... But can't you buy this kind of thing directly? No need to waste time."

Ye Jian, who was about to leave, stopped immediately: "Can I buy it?"

Luo Ling also raised her ear fins.

Al nodded.

"Then," Ye Jian said, "how much is it?"

"It's very cheap," Al said, thinking that the man in front of him is a bigwig and must have a lot of money, "only [-]."

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian: "Goodbye."

After Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and left, the people in the room looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

A few minutes later, Ol Huo turned around.

"Hurry up and invite Sister Gu back to the city, tell her that the team is in danger, come back quickly!"

.

On the way back, Luo Ling somehow started to wink his eyes.

Ye Jian casually lowered her head, and saw that the little mermaid was trying to wink, with a very strange expression.

"?"

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling's soft face: "What are you doing?"

"I want to cry myself." Luo Ling looked at him innocently, "Ye Jian don't worry about me."

Ye Jian was even more surprised: "Why are you crying?"

"If I cry, I will shed tears, and the tears will turn into pearls." Luo Ling said a fact that shocked Ye Jian in a very casual tone, "Pearls are very valuable."

Ye Jian was shocked for three seconds: "But, we're not really short of money, are we?"

"What's missing," Luo Ling said seriously, "That pass costs [-] yuan. If Ye Jian can buy it, there's no need to waste time joining the explorer team."

Obviously, this little mermaid was greatly stimulated by Orr's words of "very cheap" and "only [-]".

Seeing what Ye Jian wanted to say, he quickly added: "Brother, don't worry about me, let me try it myself."

Ye Jian: Great.

He didn't speak any more, but let the stubborn little mermaid continue to try.

However, Luo Ling worked hard for a long time, squeezed her eyes sorely, but she couldn't see any tears, she couldn't help but drooped her ear fins in frustration: "Okay, I can't cry."

"I can only cry when I encounter difficult things."

In fact, even if he was betrayed by his clansmen and was on the verge of death, he never shed a single tear.

The pearls condensed by the mermaid's tears are extremely precious, but it is difficult for mermaids to shed tears. Their life is extremely long, and perhaps until the end of their lives, they will not shed a single tear.

Ye Jian pinched Luo Ling's frustrated face: "It's okay."

"When I join the explorer team, I can go out of the city to get crystals and sell them to make money."

"Besides, I don't want you to recall the past and the things that made you sad because of this reason." Ye Jian said, "I hope you can be happier."

After hearing this, Luo Ling shook her head slightly: "I haven't thought about the past."

"After meeting Ye Jian, the previous things will never make me sad again." The little mermaid said seriously, her dark eyes reflected Ye Jian's appearance, focused and persistent, "Because of Ye Jian I'm here, so I'm not afraid of anything."

Ye Jian looked at him, smiled slightly after a few seconds, and stroked the little mermaid's head.

Luo Ling lowered her eyes and gently rubbed Ye Jian's palm very obediently.

He likes the warmth of this person's palm.

Ye Jian: "So, what were you thinking just now?"

Luo Ling: "Well...I'm thinking about some things that I'd still be sad about if they happened."

"For example, Ye Jian won't buy me candied haws."

Ye Jian was silent.

"For another example, when I was eating candied haws, the outer layer of my favorite sugar coating fell off, and I didn't eat it."

Luo Ling looked serious.

"Also, half of the candied haws fell to the ground...the candied haws are of different sizes, the bottom one is always the smallest..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Jian cover her mouth, and a muffled laugh flowed out from between her fingers.

Luo Ling: "?"

"Why is Ye Jian laughing at me?" Luo Ling said aggrievedly, "This is obviously a very sad thing."

Ye Jian was serious: "I didn't laugh at you, so don't talk nonsense."

Then she turned her face away and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Luo Ling: "???"

Ye Jianming kept laughing!Never stopped!

So angry!

Luo Ling grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes and refused to let go, without saying a word, flicking the fish's tail back and forth sullenly.

Ye Jian was still laughing.

still laughing.

"..."

Luo Ling stared at him faintly, and suddenly said, "I'm going to sing!"

Ye Jian: "!"

Ye Jian's smile faded instantly, her expression serious: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"You sing very well, but let's go home now."

Luo Ling: "..."
