Picked up a deep sea lord

The mermaid's unbelievable gaze rested on Ye Jian for several seconds, and she said tremblingly, "You...can you really hear me?"

Ye Jian: "I still heard you scolding me."

Mermaid: "!"

"No! Absolutely not!" The mermaid shook her head again and again, "How dare I scold you? You are so kind and beautiful. I have no reason to scold you. You must have heard it wrong."

"But... just now I used the language of our mermaid clan." He whispered, "Only mermaids can understand. Are you also a mermaid?"

Ye Jian wondered why the mermaid's voice suddenly became strange, and said, "No, I don't know how to blow bubbles."

Mermaid: "Ah, neither will Your Highness."

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling's eyes were dim.

Mermaid: "I'm sorry I'm sorry woo woo woo woo!"

Ye Jian: Well, his little fish is fierce.

He lowered his head and poked Luo Ling lightly.

Luo Ling took Ye Jian's hand and shook it lightly twice.

"However," Ye Jian said, "Why can I understand your language?"

Luo Ling: "Well... Maybe it's because Ye Jian is so powerful! That's why I understand!"

Ye Jian: Well, this little mermaid doesn't know either.

"Get out of here first," he said, "Is your injury okay? Do you need someone to treat you?"

The second half of the sentence was said to the mermaid. He shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, but human medicine has no effect on me. As long as I soak it in water, my wound will gradually heal."

"Just before that, can you please untie this for me?"

His tail flicked weakly, and the tail fin that had been curled up stretched out.

Ye Jian had noticed that his tail fin had been curling up all the time, and thought it was because of pain, but now she realized that it was to cover something.

The merman's pale blue tail fin was pierced by a sharp torture-like clasp that looked like an ugly scar.

"This doesn't hurt," the mermaid explained to Ye Jian's eyes, "but after I buckle it, my tail can no longer be turned into a leg."

Ye Jian nodded silently, bent down, and with a little force, broke the lock.

The mermaid breathed a sigh of relief, and then swung its tail again.

Nothing happened.

Mermaid: "Huh?"

"You are still too weak now," Luo Ling said, "I can't melt your legs for the time being."

The mermaid listened blankly: "Then...then...can anyone carry me back?"

Ye Jian: "I—"

Before the words fell, Luo Ling immediately grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes.

"Brother is not allowed to hold other fish," he whispered, "you can ask the people here to send us back."

Ye Jian thought about it, and finally asked Su Xi to send them back to the hotel.

In the hotel, the mermaid soaked in the steaming hot tub, and finally regained some vitality on her pale face.

Soon he found that the bathtub was big enough to fit three of himself, so he cheerfully extended an invitation to Luo Ling: "Your Highness! Come in, too!"

Luo Ling nestled in Ye Jian's arms: "No."

Mermaid: Huh?But soaking in water is very comfortable, right?There is nothing more comfortable than this!

Luo Ling flicked her fish tail and hugged Ye Jian's arm.

The name of this blue-tailed mermaid is Nomi. According to him, he was accidentally washed ashore by waves when he left the deep sea a few days ago, and encountered a team of watchmen. Because he was defeated, he was captured and sold.

"Fortunately, I met His Highness and Mr. Ye," Nomi said with emotion, "it must be the guidance of heaven that made me so lucky."

Luo Ling: "Mermaid clan, how are you doing now?"

"..."

The smile on Nomi's face froze, and she paused for a few seconds before speaking again.

"After you left, Sauron took power alone and expelled many people who disagreed with him."

Nomi no longer used the mermaid's language, but had a normal and authentic accent.

"I felt that it was no longer my hometown, so I took the initiative to leave."

Luo Ling: "Sauron?"

He seemed to be remembering something from the past, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his dark eyes.

Nomi nodded: "Yes, he is already the great elder of the clan, but many people don't accept him. They, like me, hope that you can—"

Luo Ling said lightly: "There's no need to say any more."

Nomi closed her mouth when she heard the words, and after a while, her voice choked slightly: "However, it is already the biggest surprise for us that you are still alive."

Ye Jian lowered her eyes.

The reunion of old people and touching on the past can indeed make people sad sometimes.

Nomi's sobs were faint, but Luo Ling just stayed quietly in his arms, with the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line of indifference.

Ye Jian suddenly felt that this little mermaid had become a little strange and a little too cold.

Or... is this Luo Ling's original appearance?

"Ah, I almost forgot to ask."

Nomi raised her head, her eyes were wet, but no tears fell—unless the grief was extreme, mermaids would hardly shed tears no matter how sad they were, this was their nature.

"Is your injury okay? If you can't heal all the time, then..."

Luo Ling's eyes were slightly cold, and he spit out a word.

Ye Jian tilted her head.

He couldn't understand Luo Ling's vocabulary just now, it seemed to be more obscure than ordinary mermaid language.

But Nomi could clearly understand, and even secretly glanced at Ye Jian, buried herself in the bathtub, and said nothing.

So Ye Jian knew that Luo Ling didn't want him to hear it.

why?

What did Nomi want to say about Nilin just now?

Ye Jian's heart was full of emotions, she didn't speak, but reached out to poke Luo Ling's face.

Luo Ling gently took his hand, and the ear fins softly pressed against the back of the hand, rubbing it a few times.

Ye Jian stared at him without saying a word.

Luo Ling blinked at Ye Jian, then obediently put his palm on the side of her face, and continued to rub.

Ye Jian: Hmm... I'm starting to pretend to be innocent.

He still didn't say anything, his face sullen.

Luo Ling began to wag his tail lightly at him, grabbing the hem of his clothes and shaking it back and forth.

Nomi in the bathtub opened her eyes in disbelief, and slowly sank into the bathtub, pretending not to see this scene.

In the end, Ye Jian couldn't get the answer she wanted from Luo Ling.

The little mermaid tried to hide it from him.

He was thoughtful.

Well, maybe have to get the answer elsewhere.

Ye Jian raised her eyes and turned to the bathtub.

Nomi in the bathtub is pretending to be a transparent person: "Gudu——"

Luo Ling turned her head abruptly: "Don't spit bubbles."

Nomi: "Huh?"

"The bubbles you spit out don't look good," Luo Ling said blankly, "I don't want to see them."

Nomi: "???"

What a joke!He is the No.1 bubble blowing contest in the clan!The ten-year champion!

But, but...

Nuomi still kept silent when she met Luo Ling's dark eyes.

"Huh," Ye Jian said, "He can't spit bubbles either?"

Luo Ling nodded immediately.

One mermaid is like this, and so are two mermaids. Ye Jian couldn't help but doubt: "Can't even mermaids know how to blow bubbles?"

Luo Ling flicked the fish tail at him: "Yes, yes."

Ye Jian didn't quite believe it, so she looked at Nomi again.

Luo Ling also cast her gaze.

Nomi: "..."

Nomi: "Yes... yes, we mermaids are not good at blowing bubbles. Among so many people, His Highness blows the best bubbles, haha!"

Ye Jian was shocked.

How could there be such a fish!

"Ye Jian."

Luo Ling hugged his arm.

"I will practice hard, and I will definitely be able to spit out beautiful bubbles." The little mermaid said softly, "So Ye Jian just needs to look at me as a fish."

Ye Jian: "Mmm... that's great."

In fact, he didn't really want to see other fish spit bubbles.

After all, other fish are not as cute and beautiful as this little fish.

The night was getting dark, and it was already late when the three of them came back. Ye Jian asked Nomi to rest first, lowered her head and said to Luo Ling, "Do you want to soak in the bathtub?"

"No," Luo Ling said without hesitation, "I want to sleep with my brother."

His voice was sweet, and Nomi next to him opened his eyes again.

Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and stood up, said goodnight to Nomi, and closed the bathroom door.

Not long after, Luo Ling leaned against Ye Jian's arms on the big soft bed, with half of his face buried in his chest, sleeping soundly.

Ye Jian opened her eyes, but there was no trace of sleepiness in her black eyes.

He looked down at Luo Ling, and found that the little mermaid was still grabbing the corner of his clothes with one hand, and raised his finger slightly, trying to move that hand away.

Luo Ling moaned and chirped in her sleep, unwilling to do so.

Ye Jian immediately touched Luo Ling.

Luo Ling stopped moaning and chirping, but she was still reluctant to let go.

... After spending half a day, Ye Jian finally freed the corner of her clothes from Luo Ling's hands, and covered the little mermaid with a quilt, wrapping him into a soft ball.

Luo Ling huddled under the quilt, frowning slightly, reaching out as if trying to grab something, but couldn't touch anything.

Ye Jian thought to herself: I'll be back soon.

Immediately, he got out of bed without a sound and walked to the bathroom.

In the bathtub, Nomi floated up from the bottom of the water, showing her shiny teeth: "I knew you would come to me."

Ye Jian said softly, "Can I ask him about his childhood?"

Nomi: "Okay, as long as you want to hear, I will tell you."

"Then," Ye Jian dragged a small stool and sat down by the bathtub, "tell me what you know."

Nomi thought for a while: "Then let's start from the beginning."

"The mermaid family will have a grand ceremony every ten years to pray to the gods. Before that, the gods never responded to us—until the ceremony more than 60 years ago, His Highness was born from the altar, which was descended from the gods Bless."

God's blessing?

Ye Jian said, "Are there really gods in this world?"

"Of course!" Nomi said excitedly, "Otherwise, how could His Highness come to our clan? Although he was just an egg at the time, he was a very unusual egg!"

Ye Jian: I know, because this little fish egg is dark and ugly, not quite like a beautiful little mermaid.

"You keep talking."

"Your Highness is different from other mermaids. Ordinary mermaids are ignorant and ignorant in their eggs. They have to sleep for 20 years before they can break their shells. Your Highness has been in the eggs for 50 years, but he has his own consciousness. He can not only perceive us, but also understand us." say."

Ye Jian couldn't help but wonder: Could Luo Ling in the egg be a small black fish, trying to get out of the egg shell every day?

"On the day the shell was broken, the bottom of the sea shook, as if the end was approaching—so from that moment on, we knew that His Highness would possess extraordinary power when he became an adult."

Ye Jian: "You all knew he would be very powerful, but someone still betrayed him."

Nomi: "Yes... yes, Your Highness's strength is a blessing to us, but to some people with ulterior motives, it is a sting in the eye."

"The old faction headed by Sauron occupies the center of power in the clan, and the mermaid clan is declining day by day under their control. The powerful warriors cannot be reused, and the weak clansmen are constantly being captured by land people. They ignore it, and even want to Move the mermaid family away from their homeland and hide in deeper sea areas, so as to escape from humans and continue to sit back and relax.”

"This is a group of people who are terrified after seeing His Highness's strength, thinking that His Highness will not be controlled by them in the future and will take away their power... So they have planned for several years, just to kill His Highness when he is still weak. "

Ye Jian frowned: "His nilin—"

Nomi whispered: "Your Highness's inverse scales were peeled off by them."

He took a sneak peek at Ye Jian, saw that the other person's eyes were frozen like ice, he lowered his head, and said nothing more.

"...There is one thing, I hope you can tell me." Ye Jian's voice was low and deep, "I lost Ni Lin, and the wound has not healed for a long time—what will happen?"

Nomi was a little dazed, glanced outside the bathroom door, and shook his head after a second.

"I don't know, that's why I asked His Highness just now." His voice was even lower, "A normal mermaid would die if they lost their reverse scales, but His Highness is still alive...To be honest, I was also shocked."

"Perhaps because he is a blessing from the gods, losing Ni Lin will not make him die, but will make him weaker than usual, that's all."

That's all?

Ye Jian was still a little skeptical: "Then why didn't he allow you to continue talking just now?"

Nomi said: "Well...Actually, His Highness's character is like this."

"When he was in the clan, every time he was accidentally injured, he liked to hide it by himself, and didn't want others to care about his wound."

"You may not believe it, but His Highness was very withdrawn at that time. Because of his status, we were all a little afraid of him, and we didn't dare to approach him... So he was always cold, he didn't like to laugh, and he didn't like to talk."

Ye Jian was silent.

A cold little fish.

It's different from when he just picked it up.

"Your Highness never got close to others at that time. We thought he didn't have the emotions of ordinary people at first. I didn't realize that we were wrong until I saw His Highness today." Nomi said, "In front of you, is he right? The same, so you must be special to him."

"So, can I ask you a question?"

Ye Jian: "Just tell me."

Nomi took a breath and said in a very low voice:

"When His Highness is about to reach adulthood...can you leave him?"
