Picked up a deep sea lord

Luo Ling was stunned for a second, realizing that Ye Jian was teasing him.

He felt a little wronged.

Ye Jian seemed to like watching fish spit bubbles very much. Although he was not good at it and the bubbles he spit out were ugly, but...he thought his singing was very nice!

After that day, Ye Jian never let him sing again.

Luo Ling lay on Ye Jian's shoulder, gnawing candied haws with a sullen face.

Now his mind is full of bubbles and singing, and he has long forgotten what he was worried about just now.

Ye Jian smiled and stroked the little mermaid before walking forward.

He knew that the little mermaid he had picked up had no sense of security, which was understandable, after all, not long ago, Luo Ling was abandoned by his tribe and almost died outside.

People who have experienced betrayal are always sensitive and suspicious, worrying about gains and losses.

However, Ye Jian never thought of leaving Luo Ling behind. It was not out of pity or sympathy, but because he had promised Luo Ling—since he had promised, he would not break his promise.

Besides...

Ye Jian quietly looked at Luo Ling in her arms.

He lost his memory and had nowhere to go.

Without Luo Ling, without this little mermaid, he would be alone.

The night wind was getting colder, and the chill seeped in through the thin blanket, Luo Ling silently shrank into Ye Jian's arms, and buried her face in his chest.

"Are we going to that area c?"

Ye Jian: "It's too late, let's go back first."

After he finished speaking, he held the corner of the blanket for Luo Ling.

There is only one main road from District D to the previous market, which is easy to remember.

The hotel where the two lived is also very obvious at the entrance of the market, which is easy to remember.

However, behind the entrance is a narrow alley with seven turns and eight turns. Only through the alley can you reach the deepest hotel.

Ye Jian has walked this road twice today, so she is very confident.He felt that although the route was complicated, he had already mastered it by heart.

Five minutes later, he stood in front of two forks in the road: "Um... take the left?"

Luo Ling: "It's on the right."

Ye Jian walked to the right expressionlessly.

On the first floor of the hotel, the owner of the shop was dozing off behind the counter.Ye Jian walked around silently and stepped on the rusty iron stairs.

wow.

In the bathroom of the room, the beautiful ink-colored fish tail sank into the water, and then came out again, splashing like pearls, and covered with glass-like translucent tail fins.

Ye Jian rested her chin and watched a little mermaid circling in the bathtub.

He found that Luo Ling seemed to prefer to soak in the water rather than being outside with him - every time this happened, the little mermaid would obviously be much happier.

When he returns to the sea one day, this little mermaid will sink into the sea happily and swim away without looking back.

Ye Jian got up.

Luo Ling thought he was going to leave, so she stopped circling immediately and moved her head to the bathtub: "Has Ye Jian rested yet?"

"Well," Ye Jian said, "However, I want to take a shower first."

Luo Ling lowered his head, his fish tail almost filled the entire bathtub, but he still shrank back, trying hard to make room.

Seeing this, Ye Jian chuckled, "I won't steal your nest."

He has observed that the shower on the wall can discharge water, and it should also be used for bathing.

After Ye Jian studied how to use the shower, she turned around and found that Luo Ling was still staring at her.

One person and one fish looked at each other for a few seconds, and Ye Jian raised his hand.

Swish.

The curtain around the bathtub was drawn.

Luo Ling was slightly taken aback, his sight was blocked by the curtain, and he couldn't see Ye Jian, which made the little mermaid a little uneasy.

Fortunately, not long after, he heard the sound of splashing water, and knew that Ye Jian was still here and did not abandon him.

The curling hot air diffused in the bathroom, making it warm.Luo Ling was wrapped in the heat, and yawned a little, feeling a little sleepy.

In the wilderness before, every time he was sleepy, he would sleep in Ye Jian's arms.

Ye Jian's embrace was very warm and comfortable.But he is a mermaid after all, and only by staying in the water can he fully recover his energy.

Moreover, when soaked in clean water, the wound on the fish tail is not so painful.

Luo Ling squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and slowly bit by bit.He was very sleepy now, but he still wanted to wait until Ye Jian said goodnight to her.

After a while, the curtain was pulled open, and Ye Jian stood by the bathtub, her wet black hair drooping, and her cold eyes and eyebrows were moistened by the dense water vapor.

Hearing the sound, Luo Ling raised her head, buried herself in the bathtub again, and spit out a string of bubbles at Ye Jian.

A string of grotesquely shaped bubbles resembling squashed mud balls.

A second later, Luo Ling probably felt that the string of bubbles was not very attractive, so he shook his head and disturbed the water.

Ye Jian raised her eyes slightly: "Good night."

Luo Ling said softly, "Good night."

Ye Jian walked out of the bathroom and gently turned off the lights.

The pale moonlight covered the windows with light gauze, Luo Ling nestled in the bathtub, her slender fish tail stretched out, and the tip of the translucent tail fin emerged from the water, resting on the edge of the bathtub.

Under the moonlight, the delicate scales on the black fish's tail were neatly arranged, glowing with a jewel-like luster.It's just that the biggest scale is missing, revealing pale pink flesh and blood. The wound has not healed for a long time, and it is slightly whitish from the blisters.

Luo Ling buried him in the bathtub. Although the bathtub was not big, it was just big enough to accommodate him. There were no beautiful corals, pearls, or soft seaweed underneath.

But he felt extremely at ease.

Because he knew that Ye Jian was next to him in the room separated by a wall.

The little mermaid spit out a bubble gently, and closed her eyes peacefully.

.

After waking up from the wilderness, Ye Jian rarely closed her eyes.

But now, although the bed in the hotel was not comfortable enough, it could still allow him to sleep peacefully.Ye Jian's eyelashes drooped slightly, letting her thoughts sink into the boundless night.

He had a dream.

In the dream, there is a towering ancient tree, the branches of the ancient tree are covered with leaf-like spars, shining brightly, as if the twinkling stars and the Milky Way are woven into the brocade and fall down the tree crown.

Under the shadow of the old trees, there is a lake as bright as a mirror.

The lake water is clear and free from dust, reflecting the shimmering leaves of ancient trees, as well as the sun and moon hanging high in the sky.

Ye Jian pressed her forehead lightly.

He has seen such a scene.

When he first met Luo Ling, a similar scene appeared in front of his eyes, and it seemed to be a corner of his memory.

But at this moment, he still couldn't think of anything.

The breeze blew across the lake, causing waves to rise in the lake. Ye Jian's reflection was shattered, and his familiar face condensed into another strange face.

Ye Jian and his own shadow looked at each other for a few seconds, vaguely feeling that there was something hidden under the lake, peeping at him through his reflection.

So he leaned over and lightly touched the surface of the lake with his pale fingers—

A cold, slender, bloodless hand reached out from the lake, and suddenly grabbed Ye Jian's wrist.

The temperature between the wrists was bone-chilling, and dark shadows emerged from the bottom of the water, as if some kind of terrifying monster hidden underwater.Before Ye Jian could react, the shadow had already emerged from the bottom of the water, splashing pearl-like water.

wow-

Ye Jian: "..."

Frost and snow-like silver hair spread wantonly on the water surface, black fishtails cut ripples, a pair of cold red eyes opened, and the dark abyss hidden in the bottom of the eyes locked Ye Jian like a falcon.

This is a mermaid.

A mermaid much bigger than Luo Ling.

Judging from the appearance, this mermaid is an adult, with silver hair and red pupils. Although he has a handsome appearance, he is sullen and pale, like a sharp knife quenched by poison, cold and sharp.

This is a powerful and dangerous mermaid, just looking at it is enough to make people tremble with fear.

However, Ye Jian was expressionless at the moment: "You splashed on me."

His black hair was slightly damp, and the slender eyelashes were dotted with crystal drops of water.

When the mermaid surfaced just now, Ye Jian, who was the closest to the lake and couldn't dodge by his wrist, was splashed with water because of his excessive movement.

Mermaid with silver hair and red eyes: "..."

He and Ye Jian looked at each other for a few seconds, probably realizing that he seemed to have done something wrong, and suddenly buried them in the water, blinking innocently at Ye Jian.

He is obviously gloomy and cold, but he is inexplicably skilled in doing this action, without any sense of disobedience.

Also... a little cute.

Just as Ye Jian was about to say something, the silver-haired and red-eyed mermaid submerged in the water again, its black fish tail swayed obediently a few times, and gently spit out a bubble.

Bubbles slowly emerged from the bottom of the water, twisting with the water patterns.

Ye Jian thought to herself: It's a bit ugly.

Then he woke up without warning.

……

It was getting light outside the window, Ye Jian sat up from the bed, and pressed her forehead with her pale fingers.

He has a headache.

Just like when he just woke up from the wilderness, his brain seemed to be pierced by a sharp weapon, and his temples were in pain like tearing.

However, since he met Luo Ling, he obviously never had a headache again.

Ye Jian pursed her lips into a straight line, silently enduring the pain.A few seconds later, he heard the sound of water in the bathroom, got up and walked over there.

In the bathtub filled with water, a little mermaid nestled into a ball, its tail fin flapping the water surface, sleeping very restlessly.

However, his expression was very peaceful, as if he had a good dream.

Ye Jian silently squatted by the bathtub, gently stroking the little mermaid.

Luo Ling's tail fin slapped the water, making her even more joyful.

"..."

Ye Jian discovered that if Luo Ling had legs, he would love to kick the quilt very much.

Moreover, with just this simple touch, his head suddenly stopped hurting.

Ye Jian was not surprised by this, the contact with Luo Ling could suppress his headache, this was something he realized when they first met.

He also wondered if this was the special ability of the mermaid clan, but Luo Ling was also confused, saying that they did not have this ability.

At that time, Ye Jian realized that this was probably a special connection between him and Luo Ling.

It's just that he can't figure out what this connection is, just like he doesn't understand why he loses his memory and why he gets headaches for no reason.

Who is he... who is he?

Ye Jian was thoughtful.

grunt.

A bubble emerged from the bottom of the water, and the little mermaid in the bathtub slowly raised its head and rubbed its eyes.

When Luo Ling woke up, she was very happy to find Ye Jian by her side.

"Ye Jian!" He pressed his cold face against Ye Jian's hand that was hanging by the bathtub, and rubbed it lightly, "I dreamed about that lake, and I remembered its name!"

Ye Jian: "Is that the water source we are looking for?"

Luo Ling nodded: "It's called the Lake of Twilight."

Just now, in his dream, he saw a lake under an ancient tree, located at the junction of the sea and the land, connecting dusk and day - it is the legendary lake that can heal all wounds according to the rumors of their mermaid clan.

Luo Ling didn't know why he had this dream, but when the dream was over, the name of this lake suddenly popped up in his mind, which was the Lake of Twilight.

"Lake of Dusk... The S-level city we are going to is called Dusk Court. The names of these two places are very similar." Ye Jian said, "Maybe there is really a clue we are looking for in that city."

Luo Ling nodded, agreeing with Ye Jian's point of view.

As long as he finds the Lake of Twilight, his reverse scale can grow back, so...

Luo Ling was lying on the side of the bathtub, her eyes were bent, and the fish's tail flicked back and forth uncontrollably, splashing fine water.

Ye Jian: It's a little cute.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the lively tail of this little mermaid.

Luo Ling immediately shrank into the water, only showing a pair of dark eyes, looking at him innocently.

Ye Jian blinked.

Luo Ling's action was very similar to the mermaid in the dream.

But that mermaid's appearance was obviously different from Luo Ling's, it should be two fish.

Ye Jian: "Actually, I also dreamed of a lake just now, and there was a mermaid in the lake."

Luo Ling suddenly surfaced, her translucent ear fins stood up.

Ye Jian continued to recall: "That mermaid has silver hair and ruby ​​eyes...but his fish tail is black like yours."

After hearing this, Luo Ling tilted her head and glanced at her black hair. For some reason, she made her face sullen.

"Our family has never had a mermaid with silver hair and red eyes."

He muttered under his breath.

"And there are very few black hairs, only me."

What he implied was that he was also a special and unique mermaid.

No worse than that mermaid with silver hair and red eyes!

Ye Jian: "So that's how it is."

"However, I dreamed that the mermaid was pretty pretty."

The silver-haired and red-eyed mermaid was obviously an adult, with neither a fish head nor hairy legs... Well, although the bubbles it spit out were as ugly as Luo Ling.

Luo Ling: "!"

Luo Ling couldn't hear Ye Jian complimenting other fish in front of him. As a very territorial little mermaid, he immediately hugged Ye Jian's arm and refused to let go.

"Brother is not allowed to praise others," Luo Ling raised her face aggrievedly, and lightly rubbed Ye Jian's arm, "I will also become very good-looking when I grow up, definitely better than that weird mermaid."

"So, brother just needs to look at me alone."

The last sentence is light and soft, like coquetry, but also has a vague possessiveness.

Ye Jian blinked. Every time the little mermaid called his brother, he had his own tricks.

However, it is a soft and careful machine that bursts like a bubble. Not only is it not annoying, it is also quite cute.

Luo Ling stared at Ye Jian unblinkingly with her dark eyes, still persistently waiting for his response.

"You don't need to compare yourself with others," Ye Jian said with a smile, "You are a beautiful little mermaid now, the most beautiful little mermaid I have ever seen."

Although he had only seen such a little mermaid, Luo Ling was still very happy. He liked Ye Jian's compliments on him.

So she buried herself in the bathtub, and gently spit out a bubble at Ye Jian.

A strangely shaped bubble.

Ye Jian: "Ah, Ugly Bubble."

Luo Ling: "..."

There is an extra puffy little mermaid in the bathtub.
