Picked up a deep sea lord

A small ball on the bed moved and twisted vigorously.

A moment later, Luo Ling popped a head from inside, raising his dark eyes.

Ye Jian pulled up the quilt to cover this little head.

The little ball on the bed started to wriggle around again, trying very hard to get another little head out.

Ye Jian pulled the quilt and covered it.

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling's muffled voice came from under the quilt: "The tail hurts."

Ye Jian: "!"

He immediately let go, and took the little mermaid out of the quilt: "Where does it hurt? Did you accidentally rub the wound?"

What responded to him was Luo Ling's innocent eyes: "It doesn't hurt now."

Ye Jian was silent.

Lift the quilt again.

Luo Ling hugged his arm and refused to let go, and said eagerly: "Brother, don't push me back, I just don't ask."

Ye Jian: "I really don't want to ask."

Luo Ling nodded obediently.

Well, as long as you don't ask, you are a good fish.

Ye Jian gave Luo Ling's slightly messy hair, and said, "Do you want to soak in water?"

Luo Ling had a miserable night yesterday, but he refused to go into the bathtub anyway, he was afraid that this little mermaid was really short of water.

Luo Ling quickly replied: "Yes."

Ye Jian carried him into the bathroom, and Nomi in the bathtub looked surprised: "Your Highness! Are you recovered?"

Luo Ling nodded and sank into the bathtub. Nuomi immediately shrank to the side, making room for him.

Ye Jian: There are two mermaids, one big and one small, both raised by him.

A little sense of accomplishment.

Then he heard the little mermaid he raised said to the adult mermaid he picked up: "Where did you buy the medicine my brother gave me yesterday?"

Ye Jian: "?"

Nomi: "Ah this."

He stole a glance at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian was expressionless.

Nuomi peeked at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling's eyes were cold.

Nomi was in a dilemma, his brain spinning rapidly.

Offending His Highness, there must be no good fruit to eat... But if he offends Mr. Ye, then he is tantamount to offending two people, and there is no good fruit to eat!

Nomi made a decision at the moment, her heart swayed, and her eyes closed.

He whispered, "I don't know."

Luo Ling raised her eyebrows: "You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!" Nuomi didn't dare to meet his dark eyes, "At that time, you didn't want to soak in the water, so Mr. Ye put you on the bed, and I only heard the sound of the door opening and closing. ...well, and then there is no after."

Luo Ling didn't speak, but looked back at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian said confidently, "Look, I didn't lie to you."

Luo Ling was silent for a second, lowered his head listlessly, and reached out to Ye Jian.

Ye Jian: "Stop soaking?"

Luo Ling: "I want my brother to hug me."

Nomi opened her eyes wide, while Ye Jian took the fluffy blanket and fished the little mermaid out of the bathtub.

Luo Ling curled up in Ye Jian's arms, flicking her tail unhappy.

Ye Jian stretched out his hand: "Pinch the tip of the tail."

Luo Ling obediently unfolded her beautiful translucent tail fin and let him touch it.

Nomi opened his eyes wide again, very grateful that he had just given the correct answer.

"elder brother."

Luo Ling suddenly called Ye Jian.

Ye Jian: "Huh?"

Luo Ling whispered: "I won't drink the medicine next time."

"That medicine is bitter, astringent, and unpalatable," he said. "It also stings my tongue. It makes me feel uncomfortable after drinking it."

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian sullenly said, "It's fine if there is medicine for you to drink, and you can choose this or that."

Luo Ling: "I don't want it, I don't want it, anyway, that medicine is really bad."

He looked disgusted.

Ye Jian: Picky fish!

He bent his index finger and tapped Luo Ling's head lightly.

Luo Ling hugged his hand, and said after a few seconds: "Then, brother won't give me a drink next time, right?"

Ye Jian thought to herself that she wouldn't be fooled by you, but she still had no expression on her face and said, "No."

Luo Ling was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Ye Jian's next sentence: "I'll drink milk for you next time."

Luo Ling: "?"

"You are a little mermaid, drinking milk can grow your body." Ye Jian remained expressionless, "So drink more, so that you can grow faster."

Luo Ling: "???"

Luo Ling hugged Ye Jian's hand tightly, with a pitiful expression.

Ye Jian has a heart of stone and remains unmoved.

Just when Luo Ling was about to say something pitifully, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Luo Ling's eyes were alert: "Who is it?"

Ye Jian said flatly: "At the auction, there are people who want to find us."

Last night, he contacted Susie and learned that the person who was looking for them was indeed the man in the left box at the auction, and also the person in charge of the city - Tang Bucheng.

Tang Bucheng is a B-level watchman. As the master of a city, he came alone without a bodyguard.

When he saw Ye Jian, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but this emotion was well hidden, and it just passed by in a flash.

Luo Ling lowered her face slightly.

"Mr. Ye, what happened before was out of helplessness, so it's very offensive." Tang Bucheng said in a neutral manner, "I hope you don't mind."

Ye Jian: "I mind."

Tang Bucheng paused for a second, and said, "Then, I apologize to you."

"What's the use of apologizing!"

Nomi's voice came from the bathroom.

"What's going on with the closure of the city! Are you as exaggerated!"

Tang Bucheng's gaze shifted to the bathroom without a trace, and then fell on Luo Ling who was in Ye Jian's arms.

"Mr. Ye has many mermaids."

"Indeed," Ye Jian said, "I won't give you any."

Tang Bucheng: "If I'm willing to pay a lot of money—"

"I'm not short of money," Ye Jian said coldly, "You haven't explained the closure of the city yet."

Tang Bucheng said "sorry" again, and began to explain: "This city is located inland, and there are very few mermaids, but I need them because—"

He paused again: "My brother's life depends on the mermaid."

Luo Ling's eyes were slightly cold: "What do you mean?"

Tang Bucheng met his gaze, his expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of surprise in his heart.

This underage mermaid...has eyes that are more dangerous than that of a strange beast.

"Fifty years ago, my younger brother was attacked by a strange beast outside the city. Although he escaped by chance, he was also polluted."

Tang Bucheng said slowly.

"Generally speaking, people who are polluted either die or awaken as a watchman. My brother didn't wake up, but he didn't die because of the pollution. Instead, he lay on the bed like a vegetable until today."

"I have tried many methods to wake him up, but none of them worked. His body is getting weaker day by day, and now he is reaching his limit."

"Wait," Ye Jian caught a word, "You don't look 50 years old."

Tang Bucheng: "Actually, I am 80 years old this year."

Luo Ling and Ye Jian: "?"

Tang Bucheng: "The watchman is a polluted person, different from ordinary people, and will not age easily. My brother was polluted and did not die, so he also has a physique similar to the watchman."

Ye Jian's expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts drifted slightly.

The Watcher doesn't look old, if he's really human, if he's really a Watcher... how old is he now?

...he couldn't really be bigger than this 59-year-old little mermaid, could he?

Ye Jian immediately put an end to this thought, and said, "But your brother is still a human being, so what does he have to do with a mermaid?"

Tang Bucheng said: "The thing is like this."

"Three months ago, a doctor friend of mine found the body of a mermaid by the sea. The mermaid had just died. Unfortunately, my friend was unable to save him."

"However, because of the rarity of mermaids, my friend extracted a piece of mermaid blood and buried him by the sea. When I returned here two weeks ago, my friend took the mermaid blood with the mentality of giving it a try. into my brother's body."

"A miracle happened, and my brother's vital signs showed signs of improvement. This has never happened in the past 50 years."

When Tang Bucheng said this, his steady expression implied excitement.

"Mermaids are alien beasts, and alien beasts are born from pollution. My brother is also polluted. Perhaps it is because of this that the blood of mermaids containing pollution can work on my brother—so for the past two weeks, I have been searching Mermaid."

Ye Jian: "Obviously, you didn't find it."

Tang Bucheng nodded: "As I said just now, our city is close to the inland, and mermaids are very rare, so they basically don't appear here. The first mermaid I saw in the past two weeks was at Mr. Ye, you are here."

"I won't hurt the lives of these two mermaids, I just want their blood." His tone was sincere, "I don't know if Mr. Ye can—"

Ye Jian: "I refuse."

Tang Bucheng: "I am willing to pay 1000 million! Mr. Ye, please think about it, my brother is dying, and I really need your help!"

Ye Jian: "If your brother always needs mermaid blood, will my mermaid stay here and provide him with blood?"

Tang Bucheng hesitated for a moment: "This—"

Ye Jian looked into Tang Bucheng's eyes, and said again: "Mermaids are not immortal, they will also be injured and weak. At that time, will you stop for them?"

Tang Bucheng pondered: "I will provide them with the best medical equipment and guarantee their—"

Ye Jian interrupted without hesitation: "So, you will not stop. Between my mermaid and your brother, you will put the latter's safety first, and if necessary, you can even let my mermaid do it for you. My brother sacrificed."

"No, Mr. Ye, trust me!" Tang Bucheng said, "No matter what happens, I will never do anything to harm the lives of these two mermaids!"

"Of course you won't. Before you get a new mermaid, my mermaid is a prop to keep your brother alive. You won't kill them, but they will become your blood collection tools."

Ye Jian's eyes were cold and she did not back down.

"If you were so kind, you wouldn't have closed the city to trap us here in the first place."

"So, I don't trust you. Your brother is very important to you, and my mermaid is very important to me. We have nothing to talk about."

From the moment Tang Bucheng hesitated, Ye Jian knew that she would never agree to this person.

Once he agrees, his little mermaid will have a disastrous end. This person will take unlimited blood in the name of saving his younger brother, lose his personality and dignity, and become a blood-supplying machine.

Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling tightly. This little fish was small and had a cold body temperature.

Not long ago, Luo Ling lost Nilin and has never recovered.The wound flares up from time to time, and yesterday I was so painful that I lost consciousness...

How could he be willing to let this little fish get hurt again because of a stranger, and even lose his freedom?

Luo Ling raised her head, looked at Ye Jian's eyes as cold as a knife, and lowered her head without saying a word, her forehead resting on his shoulder.

Tang Bucheng murmured: "Is there really no room for negotiation..."

"You can stop me and take my mermaid from my hand." Ye Jian's fingertips moved slightly, and a faint black thread wrapped around her fingers, "Do it."

At this moment, Tang Bucheng felt his whole body was piercingly cold, and the air seemed to be instantly frozen.

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally took a step back: "Mr. Ye is right, my request is too presumptuous to embarrass you. If that's the case, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"I will lift the lockdown immediately, and you can leave with your mermaid. But before you leave... Could you please go to my place and see my brother?"

The city official's eyes were humble, even with a bit of pleading.

"It doesn't matter if you don't change your mind, I just hope you can take a look at my brother. Maybe a powerful and well-informed watcher like you can find out the crux of his problem."

Obviously, like Susie, he thought Ye Jian was an A-level watcher.

This is why he never took tougher measures.

Tang Bucheng bowed his head deeply, keeping his posture to the lowest.Ye Jian looked calm, and did not give an immediate answer: "I will think about it."

Tang Bucheng exhaled heavily: "Okay."

He didn't mention the mermaid again, bowed his head respectfully to say goodbye, and turned to leave.

Luo Ling shook Ye Jian's hand.

Ye Jian met the little mermaid's dark eyes and rubbed his head.

"Don't be afraid, I won't sell you." Ye Jian said, "Even if I only draw a tube of blood from your body, I don't agree."

The little mermaid was still very weak, and even a single tube of blood might make his wound worse.

"But," Luo Ling said in a low voice, "he just said that 1000 million can be offered."

"It's only 1000 million, so little." Ye Jian was very wealthy, "I'll earn it back after a few trips to the nest."

Luo Ling: "Then, what if someone offers 2000 million, 3000 million, or more?"

"Not even [-] million," Ye Jian said, "You are the little mermaid I picked up, so I won't sell it."

After all, this little mermaid is cute and soft.If he sells it, he will never be able to pick it up again.

The corner of Luo Ling's mouth slightly raised: "In other words, I am priceless with my brother."

Ye Jian nodded without hesitation.

A small flower bloomed in Luo Ling's heart, and she rubbed against Ye Jian's arms.

Rubbing and rubbing, the little mermaid thought of something and looked up: "Brother, is he going to agree to his request later?"

Ye Jian: "I don't trust him. I will check what he said again."

In fact, he cared a little about Tang Bucheng's younger brother.

Alien beasts are born from pollution sources, and they themselves carry pollution.Most of the polluted people will die in pain, only a small number can survive, and a very small number of people can awaken as watchmen.

However, no one has ever remained in a state of sleep for so many years after being polluted.

If what Tang Bucheng said is true, then his younger brother is a special "polluter".

Ye Jian always pays more attention to pollution.Although he didn't know why, he usually subconsciously inquired about pollution-related news.

For example, about the origin of the big pollution many years ago, about the place where the pollution was born—somewhere, he always felt that this information involved himself.

However, there is very little useful information on the Internet related to large pollution, and it is difficult for him to find out something.

"If what Tang Bucheng said is correct, I will go and have a look." Ye Jian said, "His younger brother is a person related to pollution. Maybe I can find traces of 'pollution' from this person."

Luo Ling nodded. Although he didn't like having other people around Ye Jian, since Ye Jian wanted to go, he would go together.

"However," Luo Ling quickly thought of something, and said again, "What if this person is cheating and ambushing us?"

Ye Jian: "Don't worry, he can't beat me."

Tang Bucheng is afraid of him, this is something he discovered when they met just now.

Moreover, he also learned about the strength of Tang Bucheng's watchman team from Susie. There are three B-level watchmen, and the remaining seven C-level watchmen--compared to the A-level nest, it is still not enough.

Ye Jian said to Luo Ling again: "And aren't you still here? You are amazing!"

Luo Ling was a little happy when Ye Jian praised her.

"I will protect Ye Jian!" he said, "It's good for Ye Jian to hide behind me then!"

Ye Jian laughed softly: "Okay."

Luo Ling lay on his shoulders.

Ye Jian stared at the little hair on the little fish's head, and secretly reached out to pick up the little yellow duck on the bed.

Luo Ling immediately looked up.

Ye Jian silently put it down.

Look what I'm doing, I'm not going to do anything.

"..."

Luo Ling narrowed her eyes slightly: "Brother."

Ye Jian: "Huh?"

Luo Ling pointed to the little yellow duck on the bed: "What if someone offered [-] to buy it?"

Ye Jian fell silent.

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling shook Ye Jian's hand again: "Brother!"

Ye Jian: "Hmm..."

Under Luo Ling's resentful eyes, he hesitated a little and said: "Sell it if you sell it..."

After speaking, he sighed lightly.

So sad.

so sad.

Luo Ling: "..."

So angry!

He hates little yellow ducks!
