The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

Beside the swimming pool in the glass room in the backyard, Arnold, who had just cleaned the pool wall and put in a pool of fresh water, looked at the sparkling water surface, feeling inexplicably restless in his heart.

Speaking of which, when he had the mermaid blood, he could soak in water almost every day.

And now.

After careful calculation, he hadn't soaked in water for more than half a year at least.

It's okay if there are no conditions or unexpected, but now that there are conditions, when thinking of this, Anol feels that his skin is so dry that he can't bear it.

Fortunately, most of the chores to be done now are done.

Arnold thought for a while, and couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his legs and went to the locker room. He took off his clothes, wrapped himself in a towel, and got into the water happily.

In the swimming pool, Arnold's slender and straight legs turned into a shark's tail with pale golden scales in an instant.

At the same time, his short black hair turned into long golden hair of pale gold.

Even his dark eyes turned pale gold.

The ears turned into delicate and gorgeous light golden fan-fin ears with hidden ferocity.

A pair of hard and sharp light golden fish fins with spines of different lengths emerged from the elbows and the side of the waist.

The fan-shaped tail fin that gradually changes from gold to light gold is very wide and looks very gorgeous.

Anol, who instantly transformed into a mermaid, subconsciously took a deep breath before diving into the water.

Perhaps it was because this swimming pool was not built for humans, so it was built very large, and the deepest part of the water in the middle was five meters deep.

I am ashamed to say that although Arnold has lived as a mermaid for nearly 4000 years, he has never swam in such a large and deep water.

In the beastman world, he has traveled almost every inch of land there, but he has never gone deep into rivers, lakes and seas.

Every time I soak in water, I taste it in a long stone basin like a bathtub.

This is the first time he has dived into water as deep as five meters, and it is also the first time he has felt the negligible water pressure in the water.

And this kind of oppressive feeling in deep water does not cause him any discomfort, on the contrary, it makes him feel physically and mentally comfortable for no reason, and he really wants to continue diving deeper.

Unfortunately, further down is the bottom of the pool.

At best, Arnold could only lie quietly on the bottom of the water in the middle of the pool, chatting for comfort.

After realizing that he seemed to lack common sense about his mermaid nature, it was only then that Arnold remembered to read the instruction manual of the mermaid blood awakening potion in detail.

That explanatory book, together with the explanatory book for the elven bloodline awakening potion, had been received by him in a corner without knowing it.

Arnold searched for a long time in the star ring space before finally finding them.

The commentary has its own waterproof function, so Arnold simply lay down on the bottom of the water and took it out, unfolding it carefully one by one.

Arnold's comprehension ability is not bad, and he understood it after just reading it once.

According to the commentary, in simple terms, no matter which bloodline is awakened, it will inherit the innate ability of that race.

The elves' racial innate ability is to drive the power of nature, and they generally have a high affinity for plants.

So Anor, who has awakened the blood of the elves, should do the same.

Merman's racial innate ability is to weave water into yarn and weep tears into beads.

So Anor, who has awakened the blood of the merman, should do the same.

Anol looked at these eight characters carefully, and once again realized what it means to be empty-handed.

He had heard similar anecdotes before in the low-tech world and the ancient martial world, but never took them seriously.

After all, he has been a mermaid for nearly 4000 years, but he really didn't know that he once had the ability to weave water into yarn and weep tears into beads.

Although he was only half an orc at that time, he still couldn't help feeling that he seemed to have missed a hundred million, as if he was a mermaid.

If he had known this earlier, why would he have worked so hard to teach people to spin and weave cloth in order to put on clothes.

It's better to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Arnold, who was feeling bored, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then saw a series of fist-sized bubbles forming quickly, floating in a row towards the surface of the water.

Oh, it turns out that I can spit out such big and so many bubbles in the water.

Arnold looked at the string of bubbles, thinking quite calmly.

Lying at the bottom of the water with nothing to do, Arnold inevitably wondered whether he could really weave yarn with water and cry pearls with his eyes.

However, in other words, weaving water into yarn, how to weave.

Just thinking like this in his heart, his hands seemed to have their own consciousness, and they started to move spontaneously.

But after a few breaths, a piece of transparent tulle the size of a palm appeared in Arnold's hands.

Looking at this piece of legendary crocodile yarn, Arnold felt inexplicably that if he could weave water into yarn in the deep sea, then the crocodile yarn he wove would definitely be lighter and thinner than this piece, and it would also have the miraculous effect of being invulnerable to water, fire and weapons. .

After putting away this piece of silk, Arnold decided to test whether he could really cry tears.

It just so happens that there is still an unopened tube of the tearjerker mustard I bought from the super-level system.

Although it has been stored in the Star Ring space for an unknown number of years, fortunately, the things in the space will not expire or deteriorate.

Anol immediately rummaged through the tube of mustard and squeezed some into his mouth.

After taking a mouthful of mustard, tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

With blurred vision, he vaguely saw someone swimming towards him from above.

After finishing lunch, Pei Yan saw that he hadn't returned, so she came to look for him, but only saw a pair of slippers and a bath towel on the bank of the swimming pool, and there was no one in the water.

Seeing this, Pei Yan was terrified and thought he was drowning, so she jumped into the swimming pool to save him.

However, when he swam to the bottom of the pool and saw his current form clearly, Pei Yan suddenly realized that he had misunderstood.

It is naturally impossible for a shark to drown.

As soon as Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw pale golden teardrops rolling out of Arnold's eyes.

The panic immediately turned into distress, Pei Yan hurriedly swam to him, opened his mouth to ask him what's wrong, but only a series of bubbles protruded, and he almost choked on the water.

When Anol, whose eyes were blurred with tears, came to his senses, Pei Yan hastily pulled him to the surface of the water, coughing non-stop and asked in a panic: "Arnold, cough, cough, what's wrong with you? Cough cough !Are you ok?"

After coming out of the water, the teardrops flowing from Arnold's eyes fell down his cheeks and turned into pale golden pearls, which fell into the water with a thud.

Anol thought calmly: Oh, so I can really cry.

While supporting Pei Yan's arm, he shook his head and replied: "I'm fine, A Yan, don't panic, I just did an experiment, it's really fine."

After Pei Yan got over the discomfort, he stopped coughing.

Seeing that he really didn't seem to be in trouble, he was relieved.

At this time, the taste of mustard in Arnold's mouth finally faded.

He looked at Pei Yan, who was still in shock, and said annoyedly, "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"It's good that you're fine." Pei Yan took a long breath, held his wrist behind his back, and swam to the shore.

Anol followed him obediently without struggling.

The further you swim to the shore, the shallower the water becomes.

After swimming to the shore, the water in the pool was already so shallow that it barely reached the waist of the two of them.

It wasn't until Pei Yan stepped on the bottom of the pool down-to-earth that the sense of panic in his heart slowly faded away.

For the convenience of standing, Arnold has quietly changed from the mermaid form back to the human form.

Pei Yan turned around and saw that he had changed his appearance, and still pulled him into his arms without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

Suddenly, Anol heard Pei Yan muffled in his ear: "You know what, I was very scared just now. I was afraid to see you lying quietly at the bottom of the water, and even more afraid that I would not be able to save you even if I have the power to save you." you."

Hearing the sound, Anol came back to his senses, raised his hand to hug him back, patted his back lightly, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid, Ayan, I'm here."

Pei Yan tightened her arms, hugged him even tighter, and then whispered in his ear: "I just realized that I like you more than I thought."

Arnold seemed to hear the sound of fireworks exploding in a trance, and then he heard Pei Yan whispering in his ear: "Arnold, do you like me?"

Hearing this, Arnold couldn't help sighing back: "I like it!"

Pei Yan couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, and then asked him: "So, Anol, would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?"

Anol replied without hesitation: "Yes. Ayan, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you."

Pei Yan hugged him tightly, and said softly, "Arnold, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."

Anol couldn't help sighing in a low voice when he heard the words: "Why am I not?"

Pei Yan was overjoyed, loosened his arms a little, lowered his head and kissed him lightly between the eyebrows.

Afterwards, Pei Yan was a bit aggressive and said: "I heard that the alliance has introduced a new marriage law in recent years, and same-sex couples and couples of different races can also register for marriage. I have calculated that today is a good day for marriage. Arnold, let's finish our meal Just go and register your marriage, okay?"

Anol shook his head and said, "Not good."

Pei Yan's expression froze slightly.

Anol didn't wait for the disappointment to appear in his eyes, and then said immediately: "It's better to get married sooner rather than later, let's go now. There is no rush to eat, you can eat when you come back, it won't waste much time."

Hearing this, Pei Yan instantly turned the disappointment in his heart into surprise, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily, and he laughed.

Both of them have a vigorous personality, and when they said they wanted to register their marriage, they went to the marriage registration office without any delay.

Then, just half an hour later, the relationship between the two changed dramatically.

On the way back, Arnold stopped by to buy expensive candies.

In the afternoon, when Wu Leyang ate the wedding candy for the two of them, he was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes when he smiled.

At dusk, Lang Yun, who came back from get off work, heard about this and made a special trip to present them with a wedding gift—two pink peaches.

Wu Leyang also came to make up the congratulatory gifts.

Arnold entertained them with a big meal cooked by Pei Yan as a return gift.

This night, the two of them spent together in the master bedroom on the second floor, which was Arnold's bedroom.

The next day, Anol, who was extremely tired, slept until midnight before waking up.

Pei Yan personally brought the nutritious porridge that had been boiled for a long time to him.

Arnold looked at the tips of his red ears, and couldn't help but laugh.

He is the one who eats people up, and he is also the one who is ashamed when he thinks about it now.

This reflex arc is really unusually long.
