Picked up a deep sea lord

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

Ye Jian listened to this sentence quietly, without saying a word.

Nomi looked at him, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately added: "I didn't ask you not to meet His Highness, it's just that during that time, you'd better not stay by his side."

He carefully watched Ye Jian's expression, and quickly explained: "You saved me and Your Highness, you are good-looking, rich, and rich...Well, I think you are a good person, and His Highness will definitely be happy if you stay by your side. It will get better and better."

Ye Jian: "Then, why did you say that?"

Nomi sighed softly: "Because of the awakening period."

"His Highness was still young when he left the clan. No one has ever told him about this kind of thing, and you probably don't know about it—the awakening period of mermaids is often the most dangerous period for them."

"At that time, the power of the mermaids began to awaken. Because they could not control this power, most of them would become irritable and irritable, and even lose their minds. Like strange beasts, they would pursue bloodthirsty instincts."

"Therefore, all mermaids who are about to enter the awakening period will be arranged in the family altar, where a deep-sea pearl containing divine power is inlaid, which can calm their emotions and keep them calm—until the awakening period is passed smoothly."

Ye Jian frowned slightly: "In other words, without that pearl, this little fish's awakening period would be very difficult."

Nomi: "Yes... In fact, you can survive with your own willpower. Your Highness can definitely do it, but the process is long and painful. More importantly, Your Highness is far stronger than anyone else. Once you lose control, then He will also become more dangerous than anyone else."

"That's why I suggest that you leave His Highness when he is about to reach adulthood. It is best to put him in a water-filled and closed place, and let him alone—"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Jian shook her head slightly: "I will not leave him."

"I promised that I would accompany him through the entire awakening period."

Nomi was taken aback: "But at that time, we couldn't help His Highness at all. If he really lost consciousness and attacked you—"

"It's okay," Ye Jian said, "I will protect myself."

Nuomi opened her eyes wide, feeling that she couldn't understand: "But, but... Your Highness is very strong."

Ye Jian: "Do you think I'm weak?"

Nomi stared at him for a few seconds, and said seriously: "Human beings are fragile, as fragile as glass. And you are very good-looking, beautiful glass."

Speaking of this, he muttered in a low voice: "Except for the watchman, the watchman is a monster with a dark heart and not good-looking."

Ye Jian was silent.

Nomi quickly said again: "I don't want you to be injured, because if you are injured, His Highness will definitely be sad."

Ye Jian met his blue eyes and smiled slightly: "Thank you, I know you care about me."

"But I still don't listen to you."

Nomi: "..."

why!

"No reason," Ye Jian's voice was calm and gentle as if hearing Nomi's heart, "Since I promised him, I won't miss the appointment."

The awakening period is painful and difficult, that little fish would groan in pain even after being sprinkled with medicine powder, if he is not around during the awakening period, he must be very sad.

He didn't want to leave Luo Ling alone when he was helpless, he didn't want Luo Ling to bear all this alone, and he didn't want to make this little fish sad.

This is a delicate and coquettish little fish.

It is also a sensitive and fragile little fish who needs his company and needs him to stay by his side.

"Anyway, thanks for telling me this."

Ye Jian got up.

"It's late, rest early."

Nomi: "..."

Nuomi wanted to spit bubbles in depression, but when she thought of Ye Jian in front of her, she immediately shut up.

Hold back, hold back.

Otherwise, he will be assassinated by His Highness.

When Ye Jian returned to the bed without a sound, Luo Ling was still lying quietly under the quilt, curled up into a small ball.

Ye Jian quietly pulled up a corner of the quilt, lay on the bed, tilted her head——

Facing a pair of eyes deeper than the night.

Ye Jian: "..."

Oh.

Oops.

When did this little fish wake up?

Luo Ling grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, without saying a word, motionless, his dark eyes quietly reflected his appearance.

Ye Jian looked serious: "I'm a little hungry, so I went outside to find something to eat."

"—Did it wake you up?"

"..."

Luo Ling still didn't speak, until a few seconds later, when Ye Jian prodded the little mermaid with some guilt, he gently grabbed Ye Jian's hand, lowered his head, and put his forehead between Ye Jian's fingers.

Luo Ling whispered: "Brother...do you like him very much?"

Ye Jian had a hunch that if she dared to nod, Nomi would turn into a dried fish tomorrow.

"I don't like it," Ye Jian said, "I just went to ask something."

Luo Ling's voice could not hear any emotional ups and downs: "Brother can also ask me."

"Then," Ye Jian said softly, "If I ask you about Ni Lin, will you answer me?"

Luo Ling was silent.

"Look," Ye Jian thought, she really is a stubborn fish, "You don't want to tell me, just like when Nomi asked you just now, you don't want to mention it in front of me .”

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling's cold eyes loosened, and she became a little more cautious.

Ye Jian watched him quietly.

"I... don't want Ye Jian to worry." After a while, Luo Ling's voice was like a mosquito, "I'm afraid that Ye Jian will find it troublesome if she listens too much."

Ye Jian paused slightly.

Just for this reason?

Because he was afraid of trouble, so he stopped Nomi's inquiry and refused to tell him?

Seeing that Ye Jian didn't quite believe it, Luo Ling quickly added: "Well... always mentioning this will make me feel very useless."

After speaking, the little mermaid lowered her head sullenly, a little sad.

"..."

Ye Jian didn't know what to say for a while, she was speechless for a few seconds, and then sighed softly: "In your eyes, I must be very bad."

Luo Ling: "!"

Luo Ling grabbed Ye Jian's hand: "No! Ye Jian is the best!"

Ye Jian: "Then why are you always afraid of this or that? Or do you think I'm fierce and always bully you?"

Luo Ling bowed her head obediently: "Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I will definitely not do this in the future."

After he finished speaking, his soft face pressed against the back of Ye Jian's hand, and he rubbed it silently.

At the same time, he peeked at Ye Jian with anxious little eyes.

Ye Jian: Well, I'm pretending to be pitiful again.

Luo Ling stole another glance at him.

Ye Jian: ... Well, it's kind of cute.

Ye Jian weighed the quilt corners for Luo Ling, and said, "Don't worry so much, the little fish who always think too much...will become a little fish with sauerkraut."

Luo Ling: "!"

Although he didn't know the connection between the two, he nodded obediently in order not to become a pickled fish.

Ye Jian: "We will set off tomorrow and continue to look for the Lake of Dusk."

As long as that water source is found, Luo Ling's reverse scale can be restored.At that time, all problems will be solved.

Luo Ling nodded obediently again, seeing that Ye Jian completely believed in herself, she breathed a sigh of relief calmly.

He didn't let Ye Jian notice what he had just done.

Ye Jian patted him on the head: "I heard that you were cold when you were young and didn't like talking to people?"

Luo Ling was a little dazed, and said: "Because... because I don't know how to communicate with people."

Before the shell broke, he could still hear some very gentle words, knowing that he was born with expectations.

But after the shell was broken, those people still surrounded him, but their eyes became fearful and cautious, as if he was some kind of superior but frightening existence.

As time passed, he didn't know what expression to show.In other words, he is used to being expressionless, and no one cares about it anyway.

Sometimes he even feels that no one likes him.

Seeing the loss of the little mermaid, Ye Jian touched his head and said softly, "It's okay, actually there are many people who care about you, such as Nomi and me."

"And you are so cute. I remember when I first picked you up, you were a soft little fish, so cute."

Luo Ling looked at Ye Jian after hearing the words, and said softly after a few seconds: "Because Ye Jian is special."

When he saw Ye Jian for the first time, he felt that Ye Jian was different from everyone else. There was a special attraction to this stranger, which made him want to get closer.

Hmm... Although he couldn't help biting Ye Jian because he was too weak, he still instinctively wanted to get close to this person.

Luo Ling began to wag his tail lightly at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian stroked his hand for a moment, thoughtful.

Meeting for the first time... He also felt that this little fish was special, which made him stay subconsciously.

However, this little mermaid lived in the sea before, so they should have never seen it.

——For some reason, Ye Jian suddenly wanted to retrieve her memory and fill in the forgotten blank.

He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly at Luo Ling: "Can you stay with me until the day when I regain my memory?"

Luo Ling nodded immediately, and then muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't matter how long Ye Jian stays with you, as long as Ye Jian doesn't leave me."

Ye Jian: "I won't leave you, little docile fish."

Luo Ling: "Then..."

He shook the corner of Ye Jian's clothes: "It's so cold."

Ye Jian stretched out her hand upon hearing this, and the little mermaid immediately got into his arms and narrowed her eyes.

So warm.

Ye Jian wrapped the quilt around Luo Ling again, and said softly, "Sleep, I won't leave again tonight."

Luo Ling pressed his forehead against his shoulder, sniffed the familiar and pleasant smell, and closed his eyes contentedly.

That night, Luo Ling had a dream for some reason.

He dreamed that he was a small fish, swimming around in unfamiliar waters, aimless, not knowing where he was going.

It was pitch black all around, and the water was icy cold, which made the little fish shiver a little.

Suddenly, a ray of light pierced through the pitch-black waters. Before the little fish could react, his body suddenly lightened and fell into a warm palm.

It was gently held up by a slender hand.

Qingyue's pleasant laughter fell from the top of her head, and Xiaoyu was stunned for a few seconds, only to feel warm... a little comfortable.

So she circled in that person's palm and rubbed his fingertips with her small head.

Then Luo Ling woke up.

The first image that opened his eyes was Ye Jian's peaceful sleeping face.

Luo Ling was a little happy at once.

Ye Jian felt the little mermaid in her arms moving, and opened her eyes: "Good morning."

Luo Ling: "Good morning!"

Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and got up, and wanted to walk to the bathroom, halfway: "What is this?"

He stopped.

Luo Ling looked up in confusion, Ye Jian raised her hand, gently brushed away Luo Ling's black hair, and picked a strand from the inside.

White.

White that doesn't fit with black hair.

Ye Jian was shocked.

Luo Ling: "What's the matter?"

He can't see anything.

"……and many more."

Ye Jian quickly walked into the bathroom.Nomi in the bathtub just woke up and came out of the bathtub: "Good morning, Your Highness, Mr. Ye—"

Ye Jian cut to the chase: "Will all of you mermaids grow gray hair when they grow up?"

Nomi was stunned: "What white hair? There has never been a mermaid with white hair in our family."

"However, I heard that when humans grow old, they will grow gray hair."

Ye Jian was even more shocked.

Luo Ling: "What's the matter?"

He is in a hurry!

Ye Jian met his eyes and was silent for a second: "I have one thing to say, don't be afraid."

Luo Ling: "?"

"After all, you are a 59-year-old little mermaid. It may be normal for this kind of thing to happen." Ye Jian looked serious, "So don't be too sad."

Luo Ling opened her eyes slightly: "What?"

Ye Jian continued, he felt as if he was going to die tomorrow and become a small fish!

"you are like……"

Ye Jian hesitated, trying to choose the most comforting words.

"Falling before old age."

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling: "???"
