Picked up a deep sea lord

A mermaid with light blue short hair swims around the reef, raising its fan-shaped tail fin from time to time, showing off like a peacock spreading its tail.

"Look, my tail is very long! The scales are shiny, so pretty!"

"If you're my wife, I'll touch your tail!"

Ye Jian: "No."

The mermaid named Maca was shocked: "Why?"

"Your tail doesn't look good," Ye Jian said blankly, "I don't want to touch the fish's tail either."

Maca: "Then... do you like pearls? I have many beautiful pearls at home."

Ye Jian: "No."

He remembered that someone said that they would pick pearls for him.

So he doesn't want the mermaid's pearl.

Maca suddenly felt worried, floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

"Why won't you be my wife?" He sighed, "I haven't had my first wife yet."

"The first one?" Ye Jian's thoughts wandered, and she subconsciously asked, "Can a mermaid marry many wives?"

Maca immediately shook her head: "No, if you promise me, then you will be my only wife."

"—In the past, a powerful mermaid could marry many wives." He explained, "However, after taking power, His Majesty issued a series of decrees, one of which is that mermaids must be monogamous, and they cannot find a second wife unless they get divorced. Wife."

His Majesty.

Ye Jian thought to herself.

This title should refer to the new king of the mermaid.

He didn't speak, and Maca said with a little expectation: "So you ask me so much, are you going to promise me?"

Ye Jian: "No."

Maca: "Tsk."

"I'm a very strong mermaid!" He suddenly said fiercely, "If you don't agree, I'll drag you back into the sea!"

Ye Jian: "Yes."

Maca: "?!"

"Didn't you go back to the sea?" Ye Jian leaned slightly, "I'll go back with you."

Maca: "..."

The joy in Maca's eyes faded, and he became a little indifferent: "Did you approach me on purpose?"

Ye Jian: "What?"

Maca: "You deliberately seduced me with your beauty, trying to gain my favor, so you can sneak into our mermaid clan!"

"It's abominable, I almost fell for it. Humans really have ulterior motives and tricks!"

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian found that the mermaid didn't seem very smart: "Then you go."

Maca: "Wow, you're still playing hard to get! I won't leave! Don't even think about getting what you want!"

Ye Jian shook her head helplessly: "That's not what I mean, I just want to go to the sea..."

Before the words fell, Maca interrupted: "What are you doing in the sea!"

Ye Jian paused.

Yeah, what are you doing in the sea?

Could it be that there, could he find the person he wanted to see?

"..."

After a brief silence, Ye Jian said softly: "I want... to meet your king."

The Mermaid King is the master of the deep sea, and the only mermaid he has ever heard and known.

It seems that he can only find the other party.

Maca: "...Huh?"

He was obviously shocked by Ye Jian's answer, and he spoke again after a few seconds: "You...do you want to be His Majesty's wife?"

Ye Jian: "?"

Ye Jian: "Why do you only have this in your mind?"

Maca: "Otherwise, you are a human being, why would you want to see him?"

For some reason, his hostility towards Ye Jian suddenly dissipated, and he began to comfort him patiently.

"Actually, there are many human beings like you who, after hearing His Majesty's reputation, fell in love with him, and ran to the beach to see him." Maca said, "You are so much prettier than them, there is no need to just focus on Your Majesty. There are other options."

"—Besides, Your Majesty is very fierce and scary. None of those who wanted to see him succeeded, so it's better for you to be my wife."

After listening silently, Ye Jian said, "I don't like him, and I don't like you either."

Maca: "Then why do you want to see him!"

Ye Jian pressed her forehead lightly: "I want to fight with him, is that okay?"

"Then you will definitely not be able to defeat His Majesty. He is very strong and is the strongest existence in the sea."

Another sound came with the wind, the waves beat, and a green-haired mermaid floated out of the sea.

Maca: "Basha? Why did you come to the beach today!"

Basha swam over without saying a word, and peeked at the candied haws in a small bag next to Ye Jian.

Another sneak peek.

Ye Jian lifted the small bag: "Want to eat?"

Basha: "!"

Basha: "Thank you, that's very kind of you!"

He gnawed on candied haws.

Maca: "I want to eat too..."

Ye Jian looked at the last candied haws in the small bag, thought about it, and handed it to him.

So the two mermaids surrounded the reef, click, click.

Basha: "He is so good-looking and a nice person. Do you like him?"

Maca: "Yes, yes, I want to take him back to be my wife."

Basha: "I'm afraid this won't work. His Majesty suddenly got angry late last night, which was very scary. The atmosphere in the royal city is not very good now. If this human being is discovered, both you and him will suffer."

Maca was shocked: "Why is Your Majesty angry?"

Basha: "I don't know, my father didn't dare to ask, but he told me to be careful when I came back, and don't run around."

Maca fell into deep thought: "It's okay, I can hide him secretly at home, no one will know!"

"—After getting along for a while, maybe he will still fall in love with me for a long time and agree to be my wife!"

Ye Jian: "No way."

Maca: "???"

Basha: "???"

The two mermaids looked up in shock and stared at Ye Jian in disbelief.

"Can you hear us?!"

What responded to them was Ye Jian's puzzled eyes: "Otherwise, you would have said it in front of me."

It's kind of like no one else.

The two mermaids were even more shocked, Basha said: "Impossible! We just used the mermaid language, only our clansmen can hear it!"

Ye Jian blinked.

No wonder just now he felt that the voices of the two mermaids suddenly became strange, as if they were not made by the vocal cords.

The sea breeze whipped up the waves, and Basha stared closely at Ye Jian, wondering if this young man... has mermaid blood in him?

But he is so good-looking, and he can understand mermaid language, the possibility of being a mermaid is indeed very high.

Basha thought about it and said, "Who are your parents?"

Ye Jian shook her head without saying a word.

Basha: Are both parents dead?What a pity.

...maybe really a half-mermaid.

He turned to Maca and said, "Since he wants to go to the sea, let's take him with him."

Maca: "Yes, yes - give me your hand."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to Ye Jian, and he stretched out his hand as he said.

Maca bit her finger, blood spilled out, and tapped Ye Jian's fingertips lightly.

Subtle heat flows along the fingers to the whole body, Ye Jian's vision flickers slightly, the sky spins, and he falls into the sea.

thump.

The sea water is coming from all directions, but it is not cold, but warm.

Soon, Ye Jian found that he was not in direct contact with the sea water, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped by an invisible transparent membrane, separating the sea water, allowing him to walk safely on flat ground.

"This statute of limitations is only for one day," Maca said, "You remember to come to me before it ends."

The feeling of floating freely in the sea like a mermaid is quite interesting, Ye Jian slightly bent her eyes: "Thank you."

Maca froze.

pretty.

It looks good when you smile.

Basha stroked his chin: "I heard that His Majesty likes black-haired beauties very much."

"Nonsense!" Maca said, "When did you see His Majesty touch someone else? Don't talk about people, he doesn't even touch fish."

"Master Nomi still talked to us in private, hoping to add a few silver-haired little mermaids to the clan. As a result, this word fell into His Majesty's ears by accident... Haha, I remember that during that time, Lord Nomi's head I dare not lift it, shrinking like a quail."

Nomi?

With a thought in her mind, Ye Jian cast her gaze involuntarily: "Who is he?"

Maca: "Master Nomi? He is the second elder of our clan, very powerful!"

"However, although he is very powerful, he still doesn't have a wife, hahaha!"

Basha: "Your Majesty doesn't have a wife either, do you dare to say that in front of him?"

Maca's smile froze.

Colorful small fish jumped over the shiny coral group, circling around Ye Jian, and some of them lightly rubbed against his fingertips.

Basha: "This sea likes you very much."

Only mermaids and their loved ones will be favored by the sea.

For a moment, Basha's eyes fell on Ye Jian with kindness, as if in front of him was a mermaid cub who had been away from home for many years.

Ye Jian always felt that his eyes were strange, but he knew that these two mermaids were kind and good mermaids, which were different from the cruel image of the mermaids in the rumors.

At this moment, Basha said again: "Have you heard the description of our mermaid clan while you are on land?"

Ye Jianlue pondered for a while: "I heard that humans who approach the deep sea will be regarded as an offense to the mermaid king, and there will be no return."

Maca opened his eyes wide: "Slander! They slander out of thin air!"

"The deep sea is so big, who would care about a small human being! If it wasn't for them wanting to sneak into the mermaid territory without saying hello, we wouldn't be willing to talk to them."

Maca grumbled angrily.

"Of course, there are still some human beings with ulterior motives who are unwilling to leave our territory after being warned, and have been sneaking around... Then don't blame us for not giving good fruit!"

"I see." Ye Jian blinked slightly, "You seem to have been misunderstood."

"It seems that human beings are afraid of us," Basha was satisfied. "It's really good news."

The sea water gradually obscured the skylight, but under the deep sea, a bright light bloomed.

The crystal-like palaces are scattered like pearls in the deep sea, and the bright lights stretch for thousands of miles, with no end in sight.

Basha: "The mermaid clan controls all sea areas, and this is our royal city."

Maca: "Shh, let's sneak in."

They walked around the front of the royal city and came to a hidden corner at the back.

grunt.

When approaching a certain sideline of this glorious city that never sleeps, the sea water suddenly receded and was separated by an invisible barrier. The huge barrier enveloped the entire capital, supporting a world under the sea.

Maca and Basha fell to the ground, their fishtails turned into human legs, and their bodies were covered with light veils.

Maca said to Ye Jian: "You wait here, I'll be right back."

He ran out in a hurry, and came back a few minutes later with a cloak for Ye Jian to put on.

"Although you want to see His Majesty, your human identity cannot be revealed right now." Maca said seriously, "So I can only let you temporarily pretend to be my attendant and stay with me first."

Ye Jian said thank you lightly, expressing that she understood.

The cloak fell down like a veil, and the wide hood covered Ye Jian's face, only revealing a few strands of black hair hanging between the pale skin, and the curvy and thin jawline.

Maca's eyes straightened: "So you really can't be my wife?"

Ye Jian: "No, you can't."

Maca: "Oh."

A few people came out of the corner quietly, the streets were neatly spread out, exquisite buildings lined up on both sides, shops and restaurants were all there - this glazed capital under the sea was unexpectedly full of life.

Mermaids are everywhere on the bustling streets, some swim around with their fish tails swinging, and some walk on two legs.Ye Jian hid in the crowd and said softly, "This is like a human city."

Basha: "Because Your Majesty stayed in a human city when he was young, the new royal city will be rebuilt accordingly."

"Maybe, he misses that time very much."

Maca whispered: "I don't think there is anything to miss. It's all because of that bastard Sauron, who forced the young His Majesty to degenerate into a human city. He was still underage at the time, and he was alone. He must have suffered a lot. .”

Ye Jian turned her head to look at him, while Basha hesitated and said, "But... I heard from Lord Nomi that His Majesty was not alone at that time."

Maca: "What? Wait, let's talk about this when we get home! I think I saw someone coming!"

When talking about the mermaid king in Wangcheng, the voices of both of them were very low, full of awe.

As luck would have it, they still get extra attention.

"Maka, Basha?"

At the end of the street, a blue-haired mermaid wearing a blue robe and a gloomy face came slowly.

"Why, your duty today ended so early?"

Maca: "Master Nomi!"

Basha: "...Master Nomi."

The two of them bowed slightly, and took a step forward tacitly, blocking Ye Jian.

Nomi's voice was cold: "Going out shopping with an attendant? You are negligent of your duty... Wait, why have I never seen this attendant before?"

Maca was startled, and immediately said: "He's new here! He came from the West Sea!"

Nomi didn't speak, her sharp eyes glanced over Maka and Basha, and focused on Ye Jian, without saying a word.

Ye Jian lowered her head calmly, her face hidden under the hood.

Maca couldn't hold back and took another step forward: "Master Nomi—"

Nomi: "Don't talk."

He stared straight at Ye Jian without moving his eyes.

"—You let this servant speak for himself, and tell me who he is."
