Road to Peace

Seeing that Lan Suyuan was obviously in a bad mood, Yang Shen stood up involuntarily. When he thought of Xie Er just now, he felt a little guilty for some reason, although they obviously did everything.

But before he could figure out how to answer Lan Suyuan's question, he saw the fish tail with a beautiful color like moonlight sweeping past his eyes, then swam past him, and swam behind him.

It turned out that he didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, Yang Shen calmly breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know why he was inexplicably guilty, it might be because Lan Suyuan's expression just now was so ugly.

Although the Lord Shark Emperor seldom had any expressions of joy and joy, at least he never had such obvious anger and worry. Most of the time, he just let his perfect facial features stay in their original state. There is little change in the position.

This expression now... is something wrong with the shark race?

The room is so big, but there is only one more person, but the atmosphere of the whole dormitory has become a bit oppressive and dull, as if some invisible thing has occupied the entire huge space, and the crowded people are a bit oppressive.

Yang Shen sat stiffly on his seat, on the table in front of him were the dishes sent by Lan Suyuan, and on the other side were "baubles" sent by Lan Suyuan. The stupid crab, who was too scared to move, lay down there and pretended to be a rock.

And the person who sent these was standing alone at the moment, his brows were tightly frowned, he didn't know what to think about, his eyes fell on one place aimlessly, as if he wanted to see through something.

"What's the matter?" Although Yang Shen knew that he was probably not qualified to inquire about the internal affairs of the mermaid tribe, he couldn't help asking. It might not be a trivial matter to embarrass this almost omnipotent Lord Lanhuang. .

Hearing the sound, Lan Suyuan seemed to have just realized that there are other people in his dormitory, and immediately withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look in Yang Shen's direction, and then his gaze fell on the obvious people on the table. The dishes were not touched.

"Why didn't you eat the food that was delivered? Didn't suit your appetite?" Without answering Yang Shen's question, he quickly recovered the expression on his face just now, and asked the person opposite him in a deep voice.

Shaking his head, Yang Shen smiled, "It's not that it doesn't suit my appetite. In the afternoon... I met my friends and I didn't have time to eat."

Lan Suyuan nodded, without fussing, but Yang Shen added, "Have you eaten?"

He glanced at Yang Shen in surprise, "No."

"Why don't we go together?"

The young king glanced at the man with a rather sincere expression. There was no flaw at all. How could he invite him to eat leftovers so generously and naturally?

... Even though the food was dispensable to him, Lan Suyuan finally walked to the table, and sat down with Changwei rolled up the chair.

The two sat opposite each other, silently picked up their respective tableware and began to share the leftovers. The so-called "undersea style meal" is not bluffing, even though it is left hanging on the table, at least for Yang Shen The feeling of speaking is still quite wonderful.

After all, there are all kinds of wonderful species in the deep sea that can be used as ingredients, and the finished products are naturally even more strange.

In contrast, today's land is scarce on the earth, and the number of species of terrestrial animals and plants has been reduced to a handful, and the prosperity of the past has never returned.

"Yang Shen." Just when Yang Shen was feeling overwhelmed, he suddenly heard his own name poured into his ears, raised his head and bumped into Lan Suyuan's eyes that seemed to be able to absorb people's souls, and could only subconsciously answer: "Ah ?”

Lan Suyuan was not so much talking to Yang Shen, but more like he was talking to himself. For some reason, he said: "Human beings are so fragile that they almost break when touched. In the past so many years, how did you use absolute Standing at the top of the planet's food chain?"

Yang Shen, a human being who was so fragile that he could break at the touch of a finger, was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Shark Emperor suddenly wanted to ask such a question today.

To be honest, he has never experienced the most prosperous era of human civilization. He was born a slave, and even those free people who were born in Utopia also don't know how to answer this question.

After all, even the glorious historical records have long been lost in the doomsday flood, and what remains is only the ancient legends that have been passed down orally and lost in human memory, which are as far away as myths and can only be looked up to.

But even if there are only legends left, maybe all the people who are suppressed now have longed for their glorious past.

"They are very smart." Yang Shen whispered.

"Ok?"

"You asked me why human beings are so fragile but can become the top of the food chain. I don't know the reasons for others, but I think it's probably because they can think and have desires."

Thinking keeps them asking questions and then solving them, desire keeps them creating and then solving them.

So it develops, it conquers, and it has a footstep that no one can stop. It develops rapidly and moves forward indomitably.

"That's all?" Lan Suyuan twitched the corner of his mouth after hearing Yang Shen's answer. This time it was Yang Shen's turn to be surprised. Although this answer was only his own understanding, Lan Suyuan didn't seem to agree.

Seeing the obvious doubt in Yang Shen's emerald green eyes, Lan Suyuan stretched out his hand and stroked his brow, "Then human beings now also think and have desires, why can't they occupy this planet again—don't look at it like that Look at me, Yang Shen, it is not the mermaids who have dealt the most fatal blow to human beings."

He only moved his chopsticks a few times and didn't eat much. He continued: "My family is not the owner of this world, and we are powerless in the face of many things."

Yang Shen always felt that there seemed to be something in Lan Suyuan's words, but he couldn't figure out what he said for a while, but it was obvious that it probably had something to do with the things that made him angry and worried before.

Lan Suyuan swam to Yang Shen's side, raised his face, "Do you know the feeling of powerlessness?" After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and twitched his lips, "I asked too much, you were forced to marry When you come here, you must understand what it means to be powerless."

silence.

One is that I didn't intend to get an answer, and the other is that I really don't know how to answer.

It's really moody, Yang Shen thought, Master Yuhuang's mood is more mysterious than the traces of deep sea storms, and... don't look like a serious and taciturn person when he is high above, in fact, he still talks a lot.

Depending on the situation, it was obvious that he didn't plan to eat such a romantic meal anymore, and Yang Shen naturally couldn't continue eating in front of Lan Suyuan, so he stood up and cleaned up the table as a matter of habit. Lan Suyuan gave him a look with such skillful movements.

"I touched your hand." He said suddenly, and Yang Shen almost coughed, how could this man say such ambiguous words in such a serious manner!

Lan Suyuan, who didn't pay attention to Yang Shen's strange eyes at all, remained the same, "Although you are very useless, but your fingers are smooth and your palms are soft, you don't seem like someone who can do rough work so skillfully."

I swear to the gods of the Nine Heavens, if I didn't add the last sentence, Yang Shen would think that Lan Suyuan was stating his feelings after molesting him.

And now?

Still a little weird.

It would be even more strange to put things down again, Yang Shen simply kept on doing nothing, packed everything up and let the merman outside the door take it away, and also put the pearls and gems that Lan Suyuan gave him to play with into the cabinet by the way.

He guessed that although these things are priceless treasures on land, in the deep sea full of rare treasures, they are probably not much different from the stones on the roadside, at most they are more beautiful stones, so he didn't plan to hide them. How strict.

But the Shark Bead Necklace around his neck was the most important thing, and he couldn't leave his body for even a moment.

Human beings live under such a high water pressure, if they don't have shark beads to protect them, they may be crushed into a pulp before they suffocate and drown.

Lan Suyuan was right, the human body is really too fragile, especially in this kind of place.

Unknowingly, he thought of the warning from the man who was full of hostility to him when the group of humans came, and the story, and his heart sank.

The mermaids... are so cruel by nature, they can't resist the attraction of blood and lose their minds in the face of their loved ones, just like a race that only exists for killing, peace is simply a luxury for them.

Last night, the Shaman King actually said that he doesn't like killing people—maybe it's because he doesn't like killing people, but he can't help killing people?

Ordinarily, such a tragic lesson from the past could indeed give him enough warning, but Yang Shen faintly felt that it was not very credible. Could it be that, as they and Xie Er said, he was dazzled by the appearance of the Shark Emperor?A blinding leaf can't see Mount Tai?

No, no, he knows himself too well, it must not be the reason, there must be something wrong with the logic, his subconscious sensed that flaw, but he has not been able to capture it yet.

Lan Suyuan was on the side, watching Yang Shen noncommittally and did not answer him. He just bustled around and cleaned up the dishes and the house. The smooth movements during this period naturally did not require any thinking, so he He seemed to be thinking about something else by the way.

Although he really wanted to see what humans had to do to keep this obvious fake here, he found this little fake not so annoying.

He's pretty smart, but he doesn't have the feeling of scheming, and sometimes he's a little dazed; the eyes he looks at the merman are not as full of resentment and bitterness as ordinary humans, and of course they are not flattering, but they are firm enough not to panic like a prisoner.

And the way he looked at him every time, really, where did he seem to see it?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something strangely colored on Yang Shen's head swaying away from him. Lan Suyuan swam close with a crash, raised his head and touched his head.

Yang Shen was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he felt something was taken away from his head without realizing it. Only then did he remember that there seemed to be a crab lying on top of his head.

There was a black shadow with five pairs of pincers swaying in front of his eyes. Yang Shen subconsciously stretched out his hand, and he actually caught the crab.

There was a sharp tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, and the big crab was pinched in his palm. Although it did not bite people as those sharks said, it still scratched the "fragile human being" because of its sharp shell.

Lan Suyuan probably didn't expect Yang Shen to react so quickly to snatch it. In fact, he didn't plan to do anything after seeing what it was, but now, Lan Suyuan and Yang Shen looked at each other, and the crab hung innocently. middle.

"Hiss—" Yang Shen gasped, this thing is really sharp, the palm must be bleeding, I don't know if the wound is serious or not.

……and many more.

Blood?

A drop of red blood fell through the water-proof barrier separated by shark beads and fell into the rippling sea water, winding out a long red trace.

The smell of blood permeates.

Yang Shen couldn't help but change his face, and immediately remembered the story that person told, the story of a mermaid who went crazy because he smelled the smell of human blood, and tore his lover into pieces with his own hands.

Even so, there is no commendable emotional bond between him and Lan Suyuan, even if there is, it is only his one-way, he believes that Lan Suyuan has absolutely no special feelings for him.

Subconsciously raised his head to look at Lan Suyuan's expression, Yang Shen's complexion turned slightly pale, if this Shark Emperor went mad, there would be no room for him to escape!

And the other party's eyes seemed to have really changed.

Lan Suyuan stretched out his hand and threw the crab onto one side of the table, and the culprit who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster rolled around several times on the coral table. The battle between a human and a merman is imminent.

Yang Shen clenched his fist desperately, took a step back, but this small step was quickly forced by Lan Suyuan, the king with astonishing strength grabbed Yang Shen's wrist, and he could almost imagine everything that would happen afterwards.

Yang Shen, who never wanted to die like this, didn't know where his strength and impulse came from. When he realized that he was forced to have nowhere to escape, he raised his leg and kicked the opponent desperately!

It's a pity that this kick has exhausted all of Yang Shen's strength, but the speed, strength, angle, etc., etc., are not enough in the eyes of the King of Sharks. He was not affected by the slightest impact and successfully caught Yang Shen .

Yang Shen's mind went blank, "Lan Suyuan! Be sober!"

Then he felt that the five fingers that were tightly held on the palm of his injured hand were ruthlessly and forcefully separated one by one, and then...then something soft and moist passed across it.

Huh?

When Yang Shen opened his eyes, he saw Lan Suyuan pursed his lips, and impatiently circling his wrist, said, "Why be sober? It's not a serious injury, just apply some medicine and bandage it. It looks like you're going to die, are you humans so fragile?"

Ignoring the obvious sarcasm in the other party's words, Yang Shen looked at his wound that was still bleeding, then at Lan Suyuan who was completely normal, and blurted out: "Are you not crazy?"

Not even you.

He felt that Lan Suyuan's eyes now clearly indicated that he was the lunatic, and Yang Shen finally caught the wrong logic in his subconscious.

There are so many human slaves on the bottom of the sea, and there are always times when they are accidentally injured. He has never heard of a human being torn apart by a ferocious mermaid because of injury and bleeding.

This was a very easy thing to think of, but a series of recent incidents followed one after another, overloading his mind, and the other party's warning was too confusing in that situation at that time, so he didn't react for a while.

After all, the reason for the other party's warning is too obvious, so let him not be confused by Lan Huang's beauty and forget who he is. Although he is not confused by the beauty and knows who he is more clearly, but he does have a violation of the rules for Lan Suyuan The mind is also true, it is inevitable to think more about this aspect and ignore the details.

Then there was the stupid performance just now.

In Lan Suyuan's eyes, he must have looked like a real psycho just now, but... what was that soft and wet thing in his palm just now?

He involuntarily looked at Lan Suyuan's lips, probably noticing his gaze, the man said casually: "Just taste it, I heard it will stop the bleeding."

Gulululupa.

The crab that rolled faintly on the table finally fell to the ground along the current.
