Chapter 97 The Little Mermaid in the Dream
He buried his head and watched. If Si Tang was still awake at this moment, he would definitely kick him away.
After a moment, Fan Yi raised his head and pursed his lips. He then pulled out the crystal of the Lord God's staff from the space, and waves of faint ice-blue light enveloped Si Tang.
Si Tang felt a sense of peace in his sleep.
My body suddenly felt extraordinarily relaxed.
If she were awake at this moment, she would definitely be defeated.
It was obvious that Fan Yi could use the crystal fragments of the Lord God's magic weapon to heal her wounds, but he always resorted to such shameful methods.
Only then did Fan Yi climb onto the bed, holding Si Tang in his arms, letting her fall asleep in his arms.
This time, Si Tang had a strange dream.
(The following is the dream God’s perspective):
In the dream, she was the general's daughter, Jintang.
Today is the Lantern Festival. Her brother Jinchen is not at home, so Jintang sneaks out. The servants in the mansion soon discover her and search everywhere for her.
Jintang dodged the guards and unknowingly lost her way. As she walked, she unexpectedly came to a coast.
Suddenly, I saw lights like stars in the distance, and behind a reef, there was a crescent-shaped white light.
Jintang couldn't help but move closer, and finally reached the reef. She opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief.
On the rock surface outside the reef, a little mermaid was lying quietly.
He looked to be about five or six years old in human form, with his eyes closed, his silver hair cascading like moonlight, his snow-white eyelashes drooping quietly, his face childish and fair, tender complexion making one feel pity, his overly delicate features giving off a kind of androgynous beauty.
The sea breeze blew past, and her silver hair seemed to have fallen into the mortal world like a galaxy. Her lower body was a shimmering silver fish tail, its scales shimmering like a crescent moon in the moonlight. Her tail fin was as thin as a cicada's wing, trembling gently with the rise and fall of the tide, like a glass flower blooming in the water.
Jintang's fingertips trembled slightly and her face was dazed.
She took a step forward involuntarily, but the sound of sand rubbing against each other startled the sleeping little mermaid.
Fan Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils were as deep, blue and pure as the deep sea.
Fan Yi looked around the unfamiliar surroundings with caution. Suddenly, she noticed a strange creature approaching, frowning and looking in her direction.
The girl was petite and frail, staring at him in amazement. Her delicate face, though pale, was quite pretty, with a mole on the tip of her nose that made her look even more adorable.
Is this... a weak and lowly human being?
Fan Yi frowned and subconsciously wanted to change his fish tail back, but found that he seemed to be... not very good at controlling his tail.
At only three hundred years old, he still couldn't fully control his divine power of time travel and shapeshifting.
This made him feel terrible.
He was brought here simply by accidentally touching the artifact left behind by the God of Time when he perished, through a crack in time and space. His trident, his artifact, was also left where it came from.
Fan Yi angrily crouched on the reef, then rolled over onto his back, seemingly contemplating what to do. He glared coldly at the still-stupefied human for a moment, wondering if he should transform into a monster and scare her away.
The next moment, he heard her suddenly approach cautiously, calling him with curiosity and trepidation on her face.
"Baby......"
The girl's voice was pure and soft, and her almond-shaped eyes were pure and curious. They were filled with amazement, the natural fondness and enjoyment that comes from seeing something beautiful.
Fan Yi:?
He looked at her with a complicated expression as if he had seen something haunted.
This human looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was as thin as a chick, with a pale and sickly face. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left to live.
No matter what, he is three hundred years old, and he is actually called baby by a human kid?
"Baby Mermaid...are you okay?" she called him softly, the hem of her goose yellow skirt blown up by the sea breeze.
Just as Fan Yi was struggling with his conscience, he had missed the best time to intimidate.
Jintang had unknowingly lifted her skirt and squatted beside him, blinking her glassy eyes at his fishtail and exclaiming in amazement.
"Baby, your tail is so beautiful! It's even prettier than the mermaids described in my mother's storybook."
She reached out to touch it, but seemed to feel it was too offensive, so she withdrew her hand embarrassedly and put it in front of her body.
Fan Yi didn't know whether he should say that she was ignorant and fearless.
She seemed to have found a friend and kept chattering in his ear.
"Baby, are you lost?" Jintang began to worry when she saw that he was silent and motionless.
She glanced at the sea a few steps away and thought that he was extremely weak after leaving the water. Otherwise, why would he lie on the reef and not move except for turning over at the beginning?
Except for the pair of deep blue eyes that were unclear at first, he glanced at her.
She wants to come...it hurts, right? Ask her for help!
Thinking of this, Jintang immediately leaned over and wanted to hug him.
Fan Yi's hair stood on end, but he didn't know why he met those clear, glass-like eyes and paused for a moment.
He thought it was like the crystal in the temple, making one want to cut it off and keep it.
The malicious expression on his face didn't last for half a second before a sweet and soft embrace suddenly surrounded him.
Fan Yi froze.
The next second, he was picked up by the girl with great difficulty.
Her body temperature was different from his coldness, warm as the sunshine of early spring. She struggled to hold him and walked towards the beach. After a few steps, she was a little breathless, a drop of sweat sliding down her forehead, her face as white as jade.
He suddenly wasn't so anxious to scare her off.
Fan Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl with his sharp eyes for a long time.
He could not see the greed unique to humans in her eyes.
He remembered that in the 0003 world, he once encountered humans at sea. Those humans thought he was an ordinary mermaid and just wanted to catch him and sell him for a good price.
As for the ending...of course he overturned the boat and none of the people survived.
A faint fragrance suddenly hit him, interrupting his recollection. Fan Yi's nose twitched immediately. His eyes dimmed slightly as he found the culprit—the scent of her soul.
It was the first time Fan Yi had smelled such a delicious scent on a human. He had never eaten a human before, but the smell of her body whetted his appetite.
So sweet, I really want to eat it.
If it were possible, he really wanted to take her soul back to the temple and use it as an incense burner.
He licked the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Jintang looked down and saw his movements, her heart startled, mistakenly thinking that he was licking his lips out of thirst, and she became even more anxious.
According to the book my mother told me, mermaids cannot leave the water, otherwise they will die of thirst.
"Wuwu, baby mermaid, please don't die..." She sobbed, dragging Fan Yi and staggering towards the beach.
Just then, a tear rolled down his lips and was licked away by him.
Fan Yi was caught off guard and tasted her tears.
It's salty and astringent, a bit like sea water, but not quite.
It's scalding hot.
A hint of interest rose in his eyes.
She...is she trying to "release" him?
