Chapter 58 [Jiaozhu] I will remember the Queen's name

The reason why his master Xu Yingli accepted him as his disciple was because he presented the mermaid pearl from the former West Sea Mermaid King.

The former King of the Mermaids of the West Sea was the mortal enemy of his master. He presented the Mermaid Pearl to him, and Xu Yingli promised him a request, any request, no matter if it was wealth and glory, or anything else, as long as it was something that Xu Yingli could do, he would agree to it.

Chen Lian's request was very simple, which was to become a disciple of the leader of the Cang Qiong Sect.

The former Mermaid King of the West Sea died a tragic death, and he didn't know who killed him. When he heard that Xu Yingli wanted to kill the Mermaid King, he set off for the West Sea. When he arrived, he happened to see the dead Mermaid King.

Chen Lian had his back to A Jiang. He vaguely remembered that the previous mermaid king did not have such a beautiful tail and ears, and even his appearance was not good. He thought that he had nothing to do with A Jiang.

As I was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind me, "Master, I'm done."

Shen Lian turned around, then sat up again, "What do you call yourself?"

"Master, I'm done packing."

Hearing this, Shen Lian closed his eyes in satisfaction. He lay down again and pulled up the quilt. "You sleep on the floor. There is another quilt in the cabinet."

A Jiang didn't say anything, but silently took the quilt and did as he was told.

He curled up on the ground, licking the wounds on his body, but he couldn't reach the wound on his back, so he dipped his fingers in the saliva in his mouth and smeared it on his back little by little.

It is well known that mermaid saliva can help wounds heal quickly.

Perhaps because Ah Jiang was making too much noise, Chen Lian asked impatiently, "What are you doing smacking your lips?"

A Jiang remained silent and motionless. He had not slept all night. He was thinking again about how to send a message to his tribe. He would be away for a while. He was worried that his tribe would think he was dead and would be leaderless and bullied by other races.

Chen Lian also did not sleep all night. For some reason, he had a premonition that the mermaid pearl he took from the previous king that day would bring him great trouble in the future.

He wondered if A Jiang, knowing he'd taken the mermaid pearl, had assumed he'd killed the previous king. Otherwise, why would he stay with him? Was it because he'd helped him get rid of the dragon? Yet, even when he abused him, he remained silent, as if he absolutely had to stay with him.

Chen Lian hugged himself, clenching his fists. He thought, if A Jiang had any thoughts of betraying him, he would send him to hell with his own hands.

It is good to keep a good dog around, but those dogs that pretend to be good on the surface but are really unknown behind the scenes are the ones you should never keep.

As the sky gradually brightened, Chen Lian sat up and saw A Jiang curled up on the footstool, having transformed back into a mermaid.

"..." He raised his foot and kicked, and A Jiang rolled and crawled back into human form and stood up.

"Owner."

Seeing his expression, Chen Lian didn't say anything. He called his disciples together and explained what happened last night. He had dealt with the dragon and introduced A Jiang's identity - his servant.

Then he left amid the warm cheers of the villagers.

Chen Lian brought A Jiang back to the Jingling Water Pavilion of the Cang Qiong Sect and met Yu Jinlan on the way.

"Master, you're back so soon." Yu Jinlan trotted over to Chen Lian, "Eh? This is..."

"My new servant." After saying this, he led A Jiang into the house without waiting for Jin Lan to speak again.

He didn't like this disciple. Not only was he talkative, but he also liked to get close to him all the time, which was very annoying. If the elders hadn't accepted a disciple on his behalf, he was afraid he would never accept a disciple in his life.

Taking in disciples would only affect the speed of his cultivation.

He had actually wanted to find an opportunity to kill Yu Jinlan for a long time, but he also thought that having an apprentice would be nice, at least those annoying old men would stop making such noises.

Chen Lian led A Jiang through the corridor of the Jingling Waterside Pavilion and arrived at his residence. He pushed open the door. The interior was simply furnished, but it exuded a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

"You'll live here from now on." Chen Lian pointed to a simple bed in the corner where the previous servants had slept. "From now on, you and I will live under the same roof. Don't talk unless there's something important to say."

A Jiang blinked, looked at Chen Lian, and nodded to show that he understood. He was very happy now. Everything was ready. He had already sent the conch shell back to the tribe to inform them that he was fine and had met his future queen. He would bring her back to them one day.

Chen Lian didn't notice the joy in A Jiang's eyes. He was just lost in his own thoughts. He was wondering what A Jiang had been doing when he left for a while.

Asking too much seemed deliberate. If Ajahn wanted to do anything that was not in his favor, he would strike him down without mercy.

He had not been in the house for long when he received a report from a disciple that a goddess descended from the sky ten years ago and founded a sect - Yinyou Valley, and also cultivated spirit beads.

The Linghong Martial Arts Competition will be held soon. It is said that the newly established Yinyou Valley has already accepted many disciples, but they are not familiar with the introductory techniques. Although they cannot participate in the competition this time, the goddess will bring her outstanding disciples to observe.

The martial arts competition watched by the goddess can be said to be held in a very grand manner.

"Master, here is the list of names of those who can participate in the competition this time." The disciple lowered his head and presented the booklet with both hands.

Chen Lian took the booklet and scanned the list one by one. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

"Master, what's wrong with this?"

"Just do it according to this." Chen Lian threw the booklet to the disciple.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the list, he just thought that if he could obtain the spiritual pearl cultivated by the goddess, it would definitely help him increase his strength greatly.

But he didn't know how advanced the goddess was. Although he had been practicing for more than ten years, the goddess had only been practicing for a few years. But she was a goddess, born with divine power.

If he could possess divine power, he would be able to ascend to heaven.

Chen Lian's thoughts drifted far away. He imagined that if he could obtain the spirit pearl, or even master divine power, he would no longer be an ordinary cultivator, but an existence that could live as long as the heaven and earth and compete with the sun and the moon for glory.

There is no one in this world who can match him. Even if the entire cultivation world attacks him, he will not feel any pressure.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a sound of someone falling into the water outside the house. Shen Lian went out to check and saw that A Jiang had turned back into a mermaid and was playing in the water.

Ajiang's tail drew graceful arcs in the water, and his silver scales sparkled in the moonlight, as if he were an elf in the water.

He rolled and jumped in the water, splashing crystal water from time to time. His movements were light and graceful, like dancing, and each movement was full of power and beauty.

Chen Lian was stunned for a moment, then became displeased. Ah Jiang actually dared to play in the water in public. Didn't he take his master seriously?

He was about to cast a spell to pull Ajiang out of the water and give him a good scolding, but Ajiang suddenly dived into the water, and then jumped into the air from the distant water surface.

Ajaan's tail traced a shining trail through the air before diving back into the water.

When he saw Ajahn again, Ajahn had already swam to him and looked at him with wet eyes blinking.

"Master, do you think I look good?"

A Jiang admitted that he was seducing Shen Lian.

In the West Sea, he was the object of courtship for many mermaids. Even male mermaids volunteered to transform into female mermaids, but he rejected them all. He didn't like them and had no feelings for them.

When he saw Chen Lian at the beach, the feeling was completely different. Chen Lian held his heart, and they were heart to heart.

A Jiang confidently showed off his tail in front of Shen Lian. He thought that as expected, Shen Lian would be fascinated by him.

Chen Lian looked at A Jiang quietly, his eyes piercing, his thoughts unpredictable. A Jiang's tail was indeed beautiful, so stunningly beautiful it was impossible to look away, but he said something that contradicted his thoughts, "What are you doing? You've killed all my water lilies!"

Chen Lian pointed at the overturned water lilies, unable to find a single good one.

“I cultivated this with great difficulty!”

Ah Jiang knew he had made a mistake and quickly put on an attitude of admitting his fault. He lowered his head and squeezed out a small pearl, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again..."

"If you are in heat and want to find a mate, I can help you find a mermaid." Chen Lian could tell at a glance that A Jiang was looking for a mate. For some reason, he didn't feel angry or happy when he saw A Jiang like this.

His heart was very calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

This sentence made A Jiang feel like he was in an ice cave. He couldn't understand why Shen Lian was not attracted to him when he showed his most beautiful and handsome side to her. Instead, she wanted to find a mermaid for him.

Is it that he is not good enough?

"I don't dare anymore, I won't..."

A Jiang was frustrated because he was facing obstacles everywhere, so he decided to use force tonight!

Under the dark moon and strong wind, Chen Lian went to take a shower. He lay on Shen Lian's bed, wrapped himself in the quilt to cover his breath, waiting for Shen Lian's arrival.

After a while, the door was slowly pushed open and Chen Lian came back. A Jiang looked at Chen Lian through the gap.

When Shen Lian walked into the room, he saw the quilt that had been folded on the bed was now wrapped into a ball.

Usually no disciples came back to his room because they were all afraid of him. They had heard that Chen Lian liked to be sadistic and cruel, so they didn't dare to get close to him for fear of being killed by accident.

So, he immediately guessed that it was Ajahn.

Chen Lian didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

He strode forward and was about to pull the quilt off when suddenly another hand reached out from the darkness, pulled him over, and pressed him under it.

"Chen Lian, Ah Lian, I asked them your name, but they didn't dare tell me. I kept asking." Ah Jiang stroked Chen Lian's face. "So your name is Chen Lian. I will always remember it, my queen..."

Chen Lian widened his eyes and looked at A Jiang in disbelief. A Jiang actually had the same thoughts about him as those people. He thought A Jiang was different and was an indestructible cockroach. He thought A Jiang knew that he was the one who took the mermaid pearl from the previous king and suspected that he had killed the previous king.

I didn’t expect that there is such a thought!!
