Chapter 70

◎The merman couple quarreled again! (Second update)◎

Opening a demon school is much simpler than a kindergarten. Now with the support from the human world, the location is not a problem. We just need to recruit teachers. Moreover, the big demons are easier to control than the small demons, so there will be no unexpected situations.

This matter was temporarily settled.

But... the chairman of this demon committee is still a problem.

Lian Jiu thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

After all the demon gods had dispersed, she sat there looking at the sea, thinking about her future path.

Si Lan walked up to her without her noticing, sat down and said, "If you don't want to, you can refuse."

"Huh?" Lian Jiu turned around, looking puzzled. "They all really want me to go, but you're asking me to refuse. Aren't you afraid they'll say you're a loner?"

"They don't dare."

Lian Jiu chuckled, this is the benefit of having strong fighting power.

Si Lan said, "Even if you refuse, they won't say anything."

Lian Jiu nodded. "At first, I wanted to refuse. I was afraid I couldn't handle this responsibility. But after thinking it over, it seems there's no one in the demon world right now who's more suitable than me."

"Suitability is one thing, willingness is another; they should not be confused."

Lian Jiu asked him curiously, "What will you do if I don't want to?"

"There will always be a demon god to take over," Si Lan said, "whether it's good or bad, it's just a matter of time."

This is indeed true. Even if it is ten years later, when the children have grown up and have a broader vision and more knowledge, they can go at any time.

Lian Jiu never thought that he was irreplaceable in the demon world, it was just a coincidence that he appeared at the right time.

She heard Si Lan say, "Don't force yourself."

In fact, hearing such words made Lian Jiu feel very warm in his heart: "I didn't force myself, and the other demon gods didn't force me to go before. This decision was made by me."

Si Lan's eyes darkened slightly: "Why?"

"You have no memories of your past and feel more ordinary than anyone else. Why would you make such a decision?"

Lian Jiu replied, "Because ordinary people want to move up."

This answer made Si Lan slightly stunned. It was a little different from what he expected. It was not the kind of great love for the common people.

"Whether I want to get a higher degree or a good salary, it's all for a better life," Lian Jiu said. "Now that everyone recognizes my ability, and I want to become an even greater person and do more, I need to reach this level. It's inevitable."

She smiled and asked, "There was no such opportunity before, but now that there is one, why not give it a try?"

"Every day I think about what Blue Whale said before he left," Lian Jiu said softly. "I still have many years left in this world. I need to have something to look forward to every day, so that this journey will be worthwhile. So I want to try to move forward and see how far I can go and how many little secrets I can discover before I turn eighty."

Si Lan had been listening to Blue Whale's words. He looked at Lian Jiu for a long moment and asked, "Is this what you were thinking?"

"Yeah." Lian Jiu nodded. "It's a bit strange actually. When I heard what it said, I felt very much like it."

It seems that I feel the same loneliness as it does, and like it, I still like the ups and downs of each day.

This feeling came inexplicably, and I couldn't find the reason no matter how hard I tried.

Si Lan understood that a long time ago she was like a blue whale from another dimension.

He appeared silently, and there was no one around. He could only play chess with himself.

She always walked around aimlessly alone, sometimes in the clouds, sometimes on the ground. When she was tired, she would take a rest, or look up or down to talk to the animals or passers-by she met.

No questions about names, past or future.

The last time I saw her, she was surrounded by a sea of ​​blood and corpses, staring blankly at the land she had passed by countless times.

Painful and relieved.

Relieved, she finally found the meaning of her existence, which was to heal this broken world. The pain was that she had reached the end and only then did she understand the reason for her existence.

Her blood flowed down drop by drop, washing away the dirty blood, and her flesh gradually became hollow, protecting the wounds of this world.

Everyone said that it was an ancient reclusive demon god who came into the world and sealed the demons.

Little did they know that one person had become the core of this seal.

It is said that saints are immortal and neither born nor destroyed.

Little did she know that she would be suppressed in the center of the formation for the rest of her lives, unable to reincarnate, which was equivalent to death.

Now that the demon world has reappeared and the demon god has awakened again, it is all because she protected the survival and lifeblood of the demon world.

The land of the demon world nourishes her soul and flesh, and the water of the demon world is the fusion of her blood.

That's why a creature with spiritual energy like the blue whale chose her at first sight.

Si Lan never denied his selfishness. He guarded this demon world in order to protect her most precious things. As long as he was there, no one could touch this place.

"Then let's go." Si Lan collected his thoughts and lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes. "You can go as far as you want."

Lian Jiu leaned in front of him: "I always feel that your next sentence will be, you will always be with me."

Si Lan had no choice but to look her in the eye. After a long moment, he gently opened his lips and said, "As long as you want."

It filled his dark pupils, and Lian Jiu was stunned for a moment.

"And me! And me!" Jiang An appeared out of nowhere, afraid that he would be left behind, "I will stay with you forever!"

Henshui also came to join in the fun. Although she couldn't hear what the saints she followed said like Bai Ze could, and had no idea what they were talking about, it didn't stop her from trying to improve her favorability in front of Director Lian Jiu. She flapped her big wings and flew over, "Godmother, godmother! And me too."

After being interrupted by them, the strange feeling in Lian Jiu's heart disappeared.

He suddenly laughed. These demon gods didn't care about anything and stood on his side unconditionally from beginning to end. They were indeed with him all the time.

"Okay." Lian Jiu nodded, "Then let's go forward together and see how far we can go."

The conversation between the two was interrupted, and for the first time Si Lan was not angry.

He silently watched Lian Jiu being surrounded by these two childish things. Compared to when she could only play chess with him, he hoped that there would be more people around her to talk to.

Of course, it would be nice if she could always see me.

Si Lan found that his condition was becoming more and more complicated. He always knew very well what he wanted to do and what he was thinking.

Now, every time I face Lian Jiu, it always seems like there is a layer of fog between us, and I can’t figure it out.

No matter how I treat her, it seems like I can't achieve the goal I want.

But isn't it enough for me to just want her to be well?

It seems that Qilin’s analysis is not quite correct.

Lord Si Lan fell into deep thought again.

-

The next day, the certification for the Nanyushan Scientific Research Station arrived.

At the same time, Nanyushan Monster Kindergarten officially opened.

Netizens were still immersed in the joy of seeing the new cubs, and then they saw a familiar scene: the national-level sign was placed under the sign of the Monster Kindergarten.

[Am I dazzled? Is this a rescue station or a scientific research station?]

Just because it provides an environment for whale falls, does that mean it's a scientific research station? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?

What does "providing the environment" mean? Do you know how long this study will last?

[As soon as your fingers touch the keyboard, you can type anything, right? Can you use your brain a little when surfing the Internet?]

[Can you please stop arguing? You're disturbing me while I'm watching my cub.]

In the camera, a boat slowly approached from the sea. The boat was full of children, and none of them was wearing a life jacket.

Before netizens had time to question it, they saw a familiar line of words floating across the live broadcast page again:

"Nanyushan's exclusive lifestyle is strictly prohibited for other parents and children to follow."

Netizens: “…”

What does it mean to predict your prediction?

That's it.

Children from ordinary families also need to learn to stay away from deep water and open flames.

When you go to the monster kindergarten, you can either spit fire or play hide-and-seek and catch fish in the water.

You are really amazing.

It seems that all dangers are no longer dangers to you, but have become fun in your spare time.

I always see kindergartens recruiting teachers, but never students.

Winter is almost here, and school is only starting at this time. This kindergarten is probably the only one that's special.

Is there any other kindergarten opening soon? My child is about to start school. Is it possible to take him there for some upbringing?

[Forget it. This kindergarten seems to be open only to residents of the mountain. There are no children from outside.]

[Didn't Wang Shanqing bring two children with her before?]

[That was a special case. Is it possible to save two children in one place?]

After discussion, netizens found that neither working in a kindergarten nor sending their children to kindergarten would meet the requirements.

This is the first time so many people are eager to study in a place that has not been developed at all.

Everyone wants to go to the city, but in Monster Kindergarten, everyone wants to go to the countryside.

Since the kindergarten teachers at Nanyu Mountain were all recruited from the human world, they were all very skilled in teaching. As for the childcare workers, most of them were Nanyu Mountain's own big monsters, who took care of the little monsters. These big monsters were more experienced, so Lian Jiu didn't have to worry too much.

Moreover, the children in Nanyu Mountain have been watching the live broadcast of the kindergarten in Fuyu Mountain for a long time and basically know the procedures of going to school.

Although there are not as many little monsters as in Fuyu Mountain, and there are only a few after the classes are divided, every child is well-behaved and honest.

only……

Most of them were holding a small basin of water.

[??? The same style as Li Paopao?]

Is this a trend? Carrying a basin of water to school?

[So cute, hahahaha.]

[No, is this also some kind of merchandise? When did it go on sale?]

[Every monster kindergarten has a different species, right? You guys are really consistent. I saw a lobster monster with its tentacles constantly moving around, disturbing the other kids.]

[Put the surrounding links quickly, don’t force me to beg you. ]

In fact, the main reason is that most of the monsters in Nanyu Mountain live in the sea. Except for those in the mangroves, on the mountains, and some monster cubs, as well as some older cubs who can control themselves, all others still need sea water.

So they simply followed the example of Li Paopao in the live broadcast and came to school carrying a small basin of water.

I didn’t expect there would be another effect. There are actually a lot of people online who want the same basin.

Lian Jiu never expected that a small basin made casually by monsters would be so popular. Nowadays, netizens like really weird things.

But making a basin is much simpler than making the surrounding area. Since you like it, just make it first!

There are many trees on Fuyu Mountain. Let me release the link to the small wooden basin first and make some money!

The indoor classes in the morning went smoothly, after all, they were not much different from those in Fuyushan.

However, the first outdoor class in the afternoon was a bit difficult to control.

Lian Jiu takes the cubs for volleyball lessons on the beach.

All of a sudden the diversity of species was on display.

When the little turtle jumped up, the other children had already hit the ball several times. The little crab got anxious and ran sideways, unable to aim at the ball at all.

There are also sharks that jump up from time to time, put their feet together, and use them as little tails to swing their tails and play ball.

He didn't even use his hands.

The little monsters are not used to using their hands yet.

[This is an acrobatic kindergarten, right? That little shark monster move just now was so impressive! Who could do that?!]

[Is this really a kid? Maybe he's some professional volleyball player who's been reborn.]

[I'm so happy! This little turtle can never reach the ball.]

Whenever I go outside, I always see something fun happening at the Monster Kindergarten.

The little turtle was upset because he couldn't play with the ball: "Let's go to the sea and play!"

After several days of hard work, the little turtle was finally able to say five words in a row, which was a great improvement.

Upon hearing this, several white dolphins recovering from injuries at Nanyu Mountain jumped around in the water excitedly: "Come play in the sea! We want to play too!"

After a few days, the white dolphins realized that the people in the mountains were not human. Whenever they went into the water, these people would turn into other animals.

This is so weird, why can't they turn into human form?

But because of their curiosity about these monsters, they gradually adapted to living with them and became less socially anxious.

After all, these little monsters would sneak fish every day to give to them. They are really cute cubs.

As long as they get into the water, it becomes a paradise for these cubs, and their behavior is no longer restricted.

Although several human teachers received Si Lan's "special care" and can now go into the water freely within Nanyu Mountain, they are still a little worried considering that they are still broadcasting live.

Just go for a swim normally.

Don’t netizens really find it weird to go play in the sea?

What Lian Jiu is afraid of is that netizens don’t find it strange. Now that humans have begun to recognize and support the development of the demon world, it is equivalent to tacitly accepting the uniqueness of the demon world.

This is the time to show the uniqueness of the demon world.

"Go ahead." But Lian Jiu didn't go too far and just said, "You can only play in shallow water."

“Okay!”

The little monsters rushed into the water excitedly.

This time he really felt like a fish in water. The little turtle stood up and could hit the ball back with a spin of its shell, which made him very happy.

Netizens were silent.

While other children are still learning to swim, the children here are already playing sea volleyball in the water.

Even an adult like me doesn't dare to play sea volleyball. It's too fierce!

[Family members, haven't you noticed that the turtles have become much more normal since entering the water? Even the turtles are moving faster.]

[Even though they're turtle babies, they're not slow in the water.]

[Have you watched too many live streams and really thought they were little monsters? But they are human! This is the most outrageous part.]

What's wrong with monsters? Monsters are so cute. They don't harm people or take advantage of others.

[I'm now starting to wonder if this livestream has some special effects we're not aware of.]

[Could it be that all of this is a movie animation, just presented to us in a live broadcast format? ]

Don't make a fuss. We all live by the sea, and we've already said that this is a different way of raising children in different regions. So what if they're familiar with the water and play ball? They're not diving.

"That's right, I haven't seen those kids from Fuyu Mountain come here to dive. Every region has its own specialties and differences."

"I don't care. I just like the fact that these kids are little monsters. Some people still believe in light, so what's wrong with me believing in monsters?!"

There were many different opinions in the comments, but no one from Nanyushan answered.

What Lian Jiu wanted was for them to start to doubt. After all, there would always be someone who could find a suitable excuse for these special behaviors, and there would always be someone who would make bold guesses.

As long as these remarks become more and more common, like boiling a frog in warm water, the fact that children are all little monsters will become an unspoken fact, and no one will find it strange if they are made public again.

Just like those online rumors or news that no one has ever responded to, as more people talk about it, people become immune to it, and no one finds it novel or difficult to accept anymore. It's just a matter of time.

The little monsters got tired after playing for a while and began to lie down on the sea to rest.

There is no way. If I don’t take a break, I will turn into my original form. Teacher Jiujiu said that I should try not to turn into my original form, otherwise there will be many humans watching.

The little monsters in Fuyu Mountain haven't turned into their original forms, so they can't lose!

So they lay down and began to bask in the sun. In fact, on the other side covered by the sea water, their tails and claws moved together, thinking that no one could see them.

Lian Jiu, who could see everything clearly in the sea, said: "..."

Children may not understand the meaning of the sentence "The teacher can see clearly any little movements you make down there."

Forget it, let them be.

Several dolphins have large bodies and hold the cubs, making sure they don't unconsciously go into the sea when they fall asleep.

The picture is weird yet extremely harmonious.

Following the gathering of the forest animals from Fuyu Mountain, the marine creatures from Nanyu Mountain and the children can now live in harmony on the sea.

Netizens are just envious.

At the end of the day, the kindergarten's live broadcast ended, leaving only the experts still doing research in the sea.

Ji Luo was broadcasting the entire process live there, but now he was using the Fisheries Bureau's account.

Lian Jiu planned to go over and take a look after work, and to ask them to come back for dinner. Before he arrived, he saw a giant octopus swimming over with a dizzy expert wrapped around one of its feet.

"???" Lian Jiu was startled. "What happened?"

"The mermaid couple had a fight, and it turned everything upside down," the octopus said angrily. "It would have been fine if they had just been arguing, but they were so loud that they disturbed the experts."

The octopus spirit transformed into a human form and threw several experts and Ji Luo onto the beach.

Seeing that it didn't look anxious, I guess these people were fine.

Lian Jiu took out his phone and called Qilin and Bai Ze, who could save people, in the group chat, asking, "The mermaids quarreled, disturbed the experts, and fell into a coma. Are there any necessary connections between these three things?"

"It's so loud." The octopus spirit scratched his ears. "We've been wanting to complain to this couple for a long time. We live in the same apartment complex and they're always arguing in public. When they start arguing, the sound is so intense that not even the coral and mud can block it out. We'll have nightmares for days after hearing it once, and the sea isn't soundproof."

It seems that he is really troubled by it.

"We monsters are fine, but these humans are not. Hearing them quarreling will make us lose our minds." The octopus said, "Look, my mind is not clear anymore."

Just at this time Qilin and the others arrived.

As soon as he saw this scene, Lin Qi knew what had happened: "That couple again?"

Hiss, the quarrel between the mermaid couple is known to everyone.

The octopus spirit immediately complained: "Lord God, please take care of this. We need to rest tonight and go to work tomorrow."

Jiang An lowered her head to check on these people and found that they were just mentally disturbed. That was not a big deal. She could just feed them some of her own tranquility pills and they would be fine. She wouldn't need the medicinal materials from the medicine beasts. While feeding them, she asked curiously, "What couple?"

Henshui, who followed, said, "The mermaid has a unique voice and a marital relationship. We have received many complaints from other monsters."

Jiang An: "Can't we move farther away?"

Henshui was helpless: "The seabed they live in is just that one area. Even if we move to the farthest corner, their voices are still unique. The more excited they are, the louder they are."

At this time, several people lying on the beach slowly woke up.

Ji Luo's head was still buzzing. He pressed his head and sat up: "Director, am I crazy? I just heard someone rapping with Buddhist scriptures in the sea."

Lian Jiu: "...You might be too excited."

"Really!" Ji Luo couldn't describe the feeling, it was extremely contradictory.

The voice clearly sounded sacred, but the speed of the speech was like that of a rap, making his head pound.

Several experts shared the same sentiment: "So that's how young people describe it. We feel like it's like listening to a DJ version of the coolest ethnic music in the lab."

Lian Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh: "That's a good description. Don't do that next time. Hurry up and get some rest. The canteen is ready for dinner."

Several people stood up slowly, but Ji Luo suddenly remembered that his equipment was missing!

Still live streaming!!

It won’t fall into the sea again! ! !

The octopus was confused: "I just fished them out, I didn't pay attention to this."

"Let's go get it." Lian Jiu said, worried that these people would be harmed again by the two mermaids, "It's okay, nothing can be lost in our sea."

Ji Luo: "That's troublesome."

Henshui rolled up his sleeves and said, "Headmaster, you are very knowledgeable. You must teach these two a lesson this time. Why don't they listen to me?"

Lian Jiu was silent for a moment, then said very honestly, "It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs."

This is the live broadcast room of the Fisheries Bureau.

Netizens looked at the freezing screen and were reluctant to quit, but they couldn't stand the freezing.

The main reason was that I was concentrating on watching the experts conduct research on the blue whale's corpse.

Suddenly, I heard an extremely strange sound coming from the distance, crackling and unclear.

I clearly thought the voice was beautiful, but I couldn't help but frown, as if a picture of Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow appeared in my head...

But before everyone could listen carefully, they noticed that the camera started to shake.

The movements of several experts also slowed down, and one even fainted.

The camera appears to be falling when a giant octopus swims over and seems to sweep everyone away.

How can this be?!

Call the police immediately!!!

Someone is going to die!!!

What kind of creatures are living in this ocean? Not only are there blue whales this big, but there are also octopuses this big that eat people?!

Countless calls to the police were made at once.

Lin Qi and Hen Shui are responsible for handling special incidents in the demon world, but they are both in the water, so all the calls are transferred to Si Lan.

Si Lan, who was looking forward to going back to the mountains to eat after get off work, was forced to answer countless calls to the police, saying that the octopus in Nanyu Mountain was eating people.

Si Lan: “…”

He wants to eat people now.

As the guardian demon god of Nanyu Mountain, he naturally knew what had happened.

So I simply changed my ringtone to "The octopus didn't eat anyone, everyone is safe, and this matter is being resolved."

Originally, many people called because they were worried about the experts' comfort.

But when I heard the sound, it seemed something was not right.

So nice and familiar?

Why does he look so much like Mr. Si who is beside Principal Lian Jiu?

As long as the person is fine, it’s fine. However, some bored netizens actually recorded this incoming call reminder and posted it in the CP super topic: "My arrogant and cold son-in-law."

This is outrageous.

[He said why all the other words were so cold, but only the word "Lian Jiu" was so sweet?]

[I don't think I've ever heard Si Lan call Jiujiu's name in a live broadcast room. I didn't expect it to sound so nice.]

The more precious someone's name is, the more it will be hidden deep in our hearts and rarely spoken out loud.

[I really am. I can kill myself with sweetness just by picking up a little bit of candy.]

Other netizens have been waiting in the live broadcast room of Kadon without giving up, to see if there will be any further developments.

The deeper the device falls, the weaker the signal becomes. I hope there will be hope before there is no signal anymore.

After about ten minutes, when netizens had lost hope, a figure suddenly approached in the pause, and everyone perked up to look.

Finally, between pauses, I saw Lian Jiu's face.

grass?

She dives so deep in the ocean without any equipment???

The next second, Lian Jiu waved at the camera and the live broadcast room was closed.

Netizens are going crazy. They have waited for so long, but in vain!

If you have the guts, don't turn off the live broadcast!!!

At this time in the sea, after the live broadcast was turned off, Lian Jiu handed the equipment to Lin Qi. They, the demon gods, had their own space to store items, but he did not have one.

She looked up at the giant shadow of the blue whale, and before she had time to think about anything, she heard the voice that Ji Luo said.

The couple's voices were so nice to hear, but they cursed quite harshly, and were indeed reciting Buddhist sutras while rapping.

It's really reasonable.

Lian Jiu sighed: "Let's go and take a look."

Henshui brought the director to the place where the monsters lived in the sea. It was not much different from the ordinary seabed, except that the corals and shells here were many times larger, and the seabed was sparkling everywhere.

The big and small monsters who came back from get off work and school covered their ears and hid in the shells or sea sand where they lived, unable to bear the noise.

When they saw Lian Jiu coming, everyone felt like they had seen a savior.

Henshui asked, "What did you quarrel about today?"

A clam spirit poked its head out of its shell and said dejectedly, "Today at work, the Pixiu God gave out new phones to all the monsters and taught them how to use WeChat. She discovered that the name her husband had written on her was her full name!"

The merman's angry voice also came over: "I wasn't the first person you added, and you actually added my full name?! I saw people online saying that adding the full name means you don't care or like someone!"

Lien Jiu: "???"

At this time, Si Lan, who was very angry because the couple failed to have dinner on time, also rushed over.

I heard this before I even got angry.

He slammed on the brakes and didn't move forward.

But as soon as it appeared, the monsters around it obviously became quiet, and even the quarreling mermaid couple paused for a second strangely.

Lian Jiu turned around: "You're back?"

Si Lan: “Yeah.”

Still didn't come forward.

Lian Jiu said, "We are going to visit the mermaids' family, let's go together."

"You guys go first." Si Lan stood where he was. "I still have something to do."

So all the monsters saw that after Director Lian Jiu turned around, Lord Si Lan took out his cell phone, looking a little anxious, and didn't know what he was tapping on the screen.

But Si Lan didn’t know that he was looking at the modified number on his phone: AAAAAAA for a long time.

Only then did he follow with satisfaction.

The author has something to say:

Si Lan: You can’t use your full name. I’ve learned that. (One tip a day to prevent future arguments after marriage)

Don’t ask me why Yaoshen’s phone is not damaged by water now!

The reason for asking is because they are demon gods!!!
