Picked up a deep sea lord

In a strange and dark space, there is no skylight, not even a trace of temperature.

The chill pierced into the bone marrow, and the blood almost froze—but the coldness of the body was far less than the tingling of the heart.

Luo Ling looked around, her dark eyes were frozen like frost, but there was also a trace of confusion.

What about Ye Jian?Where is Ye Jian?

Why is he alone here?It was cold all around, as if...he was abandoned in this strange place.

Once this thought surfaced, it was as if a hole had been opened in the heart, and dark silt gushed out from it.

Luo Ling lowered his head. At this moment, he just felt that he couldn't bear the cold all over his body.

Didn't Ye Jian say that she would be with him forever?

Didn't you promise him that you wouldn't leave him alone?

Why did you leave, why did you abandon him, why couldn't you just stay by his side obediently...

Luo Ling silently clenched her five fingers, and there was no trace of luster in her dark eyes.

In the depths of those eyes, there is a faint blood surge.

-

Ye Jian found that something was wrong with Luo Ling in her arms.

Just now, this little mermaid seemed to be in a nightmare, moving uncomfortably in his arms, no matter how much he comforted her, she couldn't calm down.

He also tried to wake Luo Ling up, but it didn't work.Luo Ling in her sleep could not hear his voice at all, nor would she respond to him.

Nomi said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, Your Highness may just be trapped in an illusion."

"This is a normal situation during the awakening period. The emergence of power will also produce illusions, trapping mermaids during the awakening period like demons, and they can only break through from the inside by themselves."

Ye Jian's expression did not relax at all: "What's in the illusion?"

Nomi: "Every mermaid's fantasy is different, but they will all see what they are most afraid of."

"Of course, with you here, I don't think His Highness should be afraid!"

As soon as the words fell, Luo Ling in Ye Jian's arms twitched, and her cold hands tightly grasped Ye Jian's wrist.

His strength was great, the phalanges protruded, and his fingers almost sank into the flesh. Ye Jian's wrist immediately turned white - Nuomi saw it and couldn't help but gasp.

However, Ye Jian's expression remained unchanged, and she let Luo Ling grab her, and patted Luo Ling's back with the other hand, comforting the little fish gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Luo Ling still didn't hear him, and even held on tighter.

Nomi couldn't stand it anymore: "Mr. Ye, I'll help you—"

Ye Jian shook her head: "No need."

He moved his fingers slightly, and a strand of black thread cut through his fingertips, and a little blood oozed out.

Ye Jian's hand fell to Luo Ling's mouth, Luo Ling was still unconscious, but visibly stiffened, and subconsciously turned his face away to avoid his fingers.

Ye Jian: Well, I don't want to drink blood.

He had no choice but to gently pinch the little mermaid's face and put his fingers into his mouth.

Nomi: Gudoo.

Ye Jian looked up.

"...cough! I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, you don't need to worry about me." Nomi turned her face away in embarrassment, "I didn't mean it, the main reason is that you smell really good..."

Ye Jian: "?"

Nomi: "It's blood! Your blood!"

He rubbed his nose: "I don't know why, I have smelled the blood of other humans or beasts before, but the blood of all of them is not as fragrant as yours, it is like a piece of grilled fish, sprinkled with pepper ..."

He was still a little hungry as he spoke.

Ye Jian was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

At this moment, Luo Ling suddenly nibbled at him.

Take another bite.

Ye Jian: "?"

I drank blood for you, why are you still gnawing on me!

... the little mermaid doesn't think she's eating grilled fish sprinkled with pepper, does she?

——As soon as this idea fell into place, Luo Ling took another bite of Ye Jian.

Ye Jian: "..."

The third time!

Ye Jian tried her best to raise the hand that Luo Ling had grasped by the wrist, and poked Luo Ling's face.

His strength was very light, but at this moment, Luo Ling suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head.

Ye Jian met Luo Ling's dark eyes, and was just about to be happy that the little mermaid regained consciousness, but in the next second, his vision spun, and the back of his head hit the cold cushion.

Nomi exclaimed: "Mr. Ye!"

The driver in the front row also quickly stepped on the brakes and turned around: "What's wrong?"

Ye Jian: "It's okay."

At this moment, he collapsed on the seat, with a pair of cold hands pressed against his slender neck.

Luo Ling pressed on Ye Jian, strangled his neck, lowered his head, and looked down at him condescendingly.

The skin on the neck was tingling, and it was difficult to breathe. Ye Jian raised her face slightly.

Luo Ling's eyes were as cold as frost, dark and dull, like an inorganic stagnant pool, faintly reflecting his appearance.

"Mr. Ye be careful!" Nomi next to him was very nervous, "His Royal Highness is attacking you!"

Ye Jian said softly, "Don't scare him."

He looked at Luo Ling, and raised his hand after a while.

A warm palm fell on the top of his head, Luo Ling paused, and a gleam of light flashed across his deep eyes.

Ye Jian touched his head.

Luo Ling remained motionless.

Ye Jian touched his head again, buried her five fingers in the cold hair, and pressed gently.

Nomi next to him didn't dare to vent his anger, thinking what's the use of this?His Highness is obviously out of control. Don't talk about touching his head at this time, even if ten strange beasts come, they may not be able to drag His Highness back in this state...

Then he saw Luo Ling slowly, slowly lowering his head... rubbing against Ye Jian's palm.

Nomi: "?!"

Really useful!

As expected of Mr. Ye!

As if waking up from a long slumber, Luo Ling's eyes glowed, and the first scene that caught his eyes was his hands grabbing Ye Jian's neck.

"..."

The little mermaid froze immediately.

The tension between the neck disappeared, and Ye Jian noticed Luo Ling's expression, stood up, and wrapped the dull little mermaid in a small blanket.

Luo Ling remained motionless.

Ye Jian shook him: "What's the matter? Are you still dizzy?"

Luo Ling didn't say anything, but stared closely at Ye Jian's neck - there was a faint red mark on the white neck, which was pinched out by him.

He pinched it out.

Luo Ling bowed her head stiffly again.

On Ye Jian's left wrist, there was a deep red handprint.

Luo Ling: "..."

The little mermaid bit her lip, and her tail drooped limply, looking sad to death.

Ye Jian: Oops.

If he had known, he would have secretly pulled up his sleeves.

Ye Jian was about to say something to coax the little mermaid, but Luo Ling spoke first, his voice was very soft, as if he had lost all his strength: "Ye Jian..."

Ye Jian immediately said, "I'm fine."

Luo Ling obviously didn't believe it, and was even more sad. He didn't dare to speak. He raised his hand to grab the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, but shrank back timidly.

Ye Jian had never seen this little mermaid before, so she immediately felt a little distressed, hugged Luo Ling, and covered his cold hand with her palm: "I don't hurt, really. You don't have much strength, if I feel bad, it's completely Can push you away."

Luo Ling was weak: "But, I still hurt Ye Jian."

In the past, when he was hugged by Ye Jian, he would take the initiative to move into Ye Jian's arms.But now, the little mermaid was so stiff that she didn't dare to touch Ye Jian at all.

It was as if Ye Jian was some kind of fragile porcelain.

Ye Jian hugged him tightly: "No, it's not even a wound."

He raised his left hand again, and waved it casually in front of Luo Ling's eyes: "Look, the traces are almost gone."

This is not a lie. In just a few seconds, the red marks on Ye Jian's white wrists disappeared, and even the pinch marks on his neck faded away.

Luo Ling seemed very worried that Ye Jian would shake his hand like this, and hugged his wrist without saying a word, but didn't dare to use force, fearing that he would withdraw it.

"I didn't mean to... sorry."

The little mermaid said in frustration, rubbing Ye Jian's wrist with her soft face, as if it would relieve some pain for him.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that Ye Jian wasn't by my side, it was dark and cold, and I was the only one."

"That dream was very real, so real that I really thought that Ye Jian didn't want me anymore, so I couldn't control myself..."

"It doesn't matter, dream and reality are opposite." Ye Jian patted his head with a smile, "I won't abandon you, I still have to wait for you to become a mermaid, spit bubbles for me."

But to become a mermaid, you have to go through the awakening period.

This was the first day of the awakening period, and he attacked Ye Jian, almost hurting Ye Jian...

The more Luo Ling thought about it, the more listless he became. Obviously, hurting Ye Jian was more unbearable for him than being hurt himself.

Ye Jian had a pretty smile, and her arms were warm, but, but...

Luo Ling took a breath, lowered his eyes, and took his gaze away from Ye Jian: "Brother, put me in the fish tank."

"I want to spend the awakening period alone without being disturbed by others."

Ye Jian: Hey, the tail is so sad that it hangs on the ground.

He didn't speak, but bent down and pinched the tip of Luo Ling's fish tail, and lifted the tail lightly.

Luo Ling was silent, shrank the fish's tail into the blanket, and tried hard to get into the fish tank on the side.

Ye Jian immediately dragged the little fish back.

Luo Ling: "Brother——"

Ye Jian bent her index finger and tapped Luo Ling's head lightly.

Luo Ling: "?"

"No ba ba," Ye Jian said with a blank expression on his face, "Don't ba ba touch your tail again."

Luo Ling: "!"

Luo Ling tried to hug her own tail.

"However, if I stay with my brother, I still won't be able to control myself." He wanted to try harder, "By then I will definitely hurt my brother—"

Ye Jian: "No way, you're not very smart after all."

Luo Ling: "?"

"Don't think about things until you're an adult," Ye Jian said with a blank expression again, "Go obediently and go through the awakening period."

Before Luo Ling could say anything, he said again: "Are you still dizzy now?"

Luo Ling: "...a little bit."

"Then," Ye Jian spread her hands, "Do you want me to hug you, or Nomi to hug you?"

Nomi: "?!"

Luo Ling glanced at the fish tank on the side: "I want to go—"

Ye Jian: "There is no fish tank. The fish tank is for Nomi. Underage fish are not allowed to soak in the fish tank."

Luo Ling: "..."

In the end, Luo Ling still lay on Ye Jian's shoulder without saying a word, with a slightly aggrieved expression on her face.

After a while, he silently lowered his head again, buried his cold face into Ye Jian's warm shoulder socket, sniffed his pleasant breath, and raised his ear fins slightly.

Warm.

Kind of comfortable.

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling's ear fins: "Are you in a good mood?"

Luo Ling's beautiful ear fins immediately drooped limply again.

In a bad mood, sad.

Ye Jian laughed lightly.

As the night deepened, the watchman team temporarily stopped, started a fire to cook, and prepared to take a short rest before setting off.

After waking up, Luo Ling did not fall asleep again.His condition seems to be a little better than before, but he is still dizzy and has little energy.

Moreover, he seemed to be in conflict with himself, he was not very willing to talk, and even refused to eat.

"No, why don't you eat?" Nomi said worriedly, "The awakening period is very exhausting. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to eat, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

Luo Ling didn't say anything.

Ye Jian looked down at him, then suddenly let go, and put the little mermaid into the fish tank next to her.

Luo Ling was startled for a moment, looking at Ye Jian's back who left silently, his eyes dimmed.

However, he didn't say anything, but buried himself in the fish tank silently, and curled up alone.

Ye Jian didn't go very far, and went back after a while, still didn't say a word, just bent down to fish out the cold little fish in the fish tank, and carried it out of the car.

Luo Ling whispered: "I don't eat."

He is angry.

Not angry with Ye Jian, but angry with himself.Angry that he lost control and did that to Ye Jian.

Throughout the day today, his mood was clouded with a thick haze, he was out of his mind and absent-minded.

Ye Jian didn't force it, and said gently: "Okay, if you don't want to eat, don't eat, but I have to eat."

Then he took out a glistening rosy, plump candied haws - I bought it specially when I was out of town.

Luo Ling was taken aback.

Ye Jian brought over another plate of braised fish sprinkled with chopped green onions and with a rich sauce.

Luo Ling was silent.

Ye Jian brought another bowl of crispy fried chicken drumsticks dipped in chili powder.

Luo Ling was dazed.

Ye Jian brought another pot of boiled beef overflowing with spicy aroma and boiling red oil.

Luo Ling opened her eyes slightly.

Finally, a thick, white and delicious fish soup was placed on the table, and Luo Ling's eyes froze for a moment.

"Okay, I'm going to eat." Ye Jian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Watch me eat."

Luo Ling: "..."
