Chapter 107 Heart of the Ocean 17
A team of soldiers arrived at the daily patrol site at noon.
The dark beach is rarely visited by people, and the soldiers have long been accustomed to it, making patrols more handy.
There is only a long row of footprints on the black beach, which gradually disappears with the rush of sea water.
The patrol captain stopped in front.
"What's wrong?" Someone asked behind him, but the captain did not respond, just staring straight at the beach in front.
Thinking that there was an accident in front, the soldiers behind tightened their electromagnetic rifles in their hands, slowly walked around the captain and looked forward.
- There is no accident on the beach, there is clearly a person lying there.
According to the regulations, if an abnormality is found in the patrol area, the superiors should be informed immediately and the person should be detained. However, several soldiers were stunned. For a moment, they did not move at all.
They originally thought that the person lying on the beach was a beautiful woman, until they walked closer and saw that it was a man.
But he was naked, his body was covered by layers of long seaweed-like hair, and he was curled up in the arms of another tall man, revealing only a beautiful and innocent face.
Both of them were naked, and the soldiers' first reaction was that they were...
but not like.
When they approached, the tall man held the handsome boy tightly in his arms like a vicious dog with its fur standing on end. His dark eyes stared at them vigilantly, and his arms were bulging with powerful arcs.
The boy in his arms never woke up from beginning to end.
Several soldiers had their Adam's apples rolling, and they had already revealed a bit of infatuation.
Yu Yu had just taken the medicine given by the system and passed out in a state of unconsciousness. Now being held from behind by Leviathan, she felt her whole body was hot. Her chin and nose were rubbed by Leviathan affectionately, leaving a red blush. The water marks on her face were wet, and her plump and tender lips were covered with a layer of water.
Someone tried to pull Yu Nu out of Leviathan's arms, but Leviathan let out a hoarse roar, bared its teeth and made unfriendly sounds towards the human in front of it.
This person doesn't look like a human at all, but a beast that has not been tamed yet.
The soldier, who was originally a little bit possessed, suddenly woke up, raised the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, pointed it at Leviathan threateningly, and prepared to make him raise his hands.
But Yu Nu in his arms suddenly moved slightly.
His hair was already dry and fluffy, and the spikes fell on the tender flesh in front of Yu Nu, rising and falling slightly with his increasingly disordered breathing.
Leviathan seemed to have sensed something, and eagerly rubbed against Yu Zhen's cheek, even brushing her lips several times.
The soldiers were stunned, and for a moment they could not figure out what the relationship between the two men was.
The tall man looked normal, but in fact he seemed to have a problem with his brain, like a madman. The person
in his arms was good-looking, but his hair was a little strange, and his facial features did not look like those of an Imperial. His skin was as white as cream, and he was so beautiful that he did not look like a human.
The soldiers were hesitating whether to separate the two by force, and then they looked into the eyes of Yu Zhen who had opened her eyes.
Yu Zhen felt her mind go blank, and her body was still sore due to the effect of the drugs, and her fingers had no strength at all.
Leviathan was so happy that he pushed open Yu Nu's mouth and sucked on the tip of his tongue loudly and heavily, with sparkling water glistening between his lips and teeth.
Yu Nu was awakened by the kiss, and her consciousness returned, and her face flushed.
Not caring about the few strange humans who appeared in front of him, Yu Nu hurriedly turned around and tried to push away the Leviathan that was imprisoning him, but he subconsciously forgot that they were both kissing each other, their bodies pressed tightly together, and it was easy to touch something that shouldn't be touched during the movement.
- What's worse is that Leviathan is very excited now, and even the little Leviathan is excited.
Yu Nu, who realized this, didn't dare to move at all.
The captain in the lead coughed a few times with a red face, "...Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Yu Nu didn't dare to move, her mind worked quickly and she made up a few lies to deal with it.
"This is my... uh, brother," Yu Nu added at last, "He has some problems with his brain, and he usually sticks to me."
The captain handed Yu Nu a long towel.
"So your ship encountered a shipwreck, and only the two of you survived?"
The captain felt sour and couldn't help sympathizing.
Yu Nu wrapped her body with a towel, and tried to stand up by holding on to the ground. As a result, her calves were sore and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Leviathan reacted quickly and caught her steadily.
The captain saw this scene and felt that Yu Nu was even more pitiful.
Most likely, her legs were injured during the shipwreck, and now she can't even stand up.
The captain wanted to pick her up, but Leviathan behind her beat him to it and held Yu Nu horizontally in his arms. His movements were smooth and flowing, as if he had done it many times before.
It was just that the things on her body were swinging with her movements, which was not very elegant.
The captain had no choice but to give Leviathan a towel.
The slender white calves swayed with Leviathan's movements, which made the team of soldiers behind blush all the way. The capture operation failed
.
Charlie originally wanted to use the remaining boat of mermaids as bait to lure Yu Nu out, but when he rushed to another cargo ship, he found that the cargo hold inside was already empty.
The Emperor of the Empire has been refusing the mermaid's mental treatment, which has led to his condition worsening. He often falls into a coma and is sickly even when he wakes up.
The headache has been tormenting the Emperor all the time.
No matter how the doctor persuaded the Emperor, he refused to accept the treatment of other mermaids. At most, he could only have the blue-tailed mermaid accompany him and say a few words to relieve his mental problems.
Therefore, finding the blue-tailed mermaid with black hair and black eyes has become the top priority of the Empire.
The news of the failure from the Crown Prince far away at sea was devastating in the palace and the cabinet. After an afternoon of urgent discussion, a new method was introduced to relieve the Emperor's condition.
——Since it is impossible to find the mermaids that His Majesty the Emperor requested, it is always possible to find humans with black hair and black eyes, right?
If a similar human being can be found and then let him "pretend" to be a merman, even if the emperor's mental illness cannot be cured, it can alleviate the emperor's pain to a certain extent.
The ministers hit it off and jointly issued a missing person notice with the House of Representatives.
However, as time went by, this missing person notice spread more and more widely on the Star Network, and people's discussions became more and more intense. For some reason, other different speculations gradually emerged.
More and more voices believe that this so-called "missing person notice" is actually His Majesty the Emperor looking for a queen according to his own aesthetics.
You must know that His Majesty has never had a partner so far, and even private peach scandals have never appeared, and the object of the scandal is unheard of.
His Majesty has let go of government affairs for many years. Perhaps it is because he is too bored that he suddenly wants to find love.
As soon as this speculation came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion on the Star Network. Countless men and women online fantasized about being favored by the emperor, and more were curious about what kind of person could make the emperor so reluctant to part with her.
In order to prevent someone from using special means to change their appearance, the missing person notice issued by the palace did not directly disclose the appearance characteristics, but gradually disclosed them at different times.
——"Have you seen the news released today? His Majesty actually likes black hair and black eyes!"
——"OMG... It feels like it's hard to find someone now. There must be very few people who meet the requirements..."
——"I think so too. In the last issue, I thought my best friend was quite suitable. Now that this condition is met..."
——"Curious, are there still humans with natural black hair and black eyes?"
——"No..."
It is said that in the Blue Star period, when humans had not yet conquered the universe, there were quite a few humans with black hair and black eyes, belonging to the Oriental race. However, as time went by, the genes of various races were combined and merged, and with the selection of technology, the common black hair and black eyes gradually disappeared, and now it has become a rare and extremely popular appearance.
Although beautiful men and women with black hair and black eyes can often be encountered on the street, the colors are basically acquired, and there is still a big gap compared to pure natural black.
The notice issued by the palace also specifically emphasized the requirement of "pure natural", which made the people of the empire feel more and more difficult.
Yu Xi, who was far away at the harbor, was undergoing a physical examination in a temporary room. The doctor asked her in shock: "Are your hair and eyes pure natural?"
Yu Xi was confused and nodded hesitantly.
The doctor jumped up excitedly, and the examination form in his hand rose and fell. "Then why don't you sign up to participate in His Majesty's selection of concubines!"
As he spoke, the doctor turned on the device and connected to the star network, allowing Yu Xi to see the requirements on the missing person notice.
Yu Xi read it carefully several times but still couldn't figure out that this was a notice for selecting a concubine. She hesitated for a long time and looked at the doctor blankly.
"What else could it be if not the selection of a queen?" The doctor smiled, looked at Yu Xi, and said with emotion, "With your conditions, it would be hard for His Majesty not to be tempted."
It was because of the doctor's words that Yu Xi finally raised the camera and uploaded her overexposed face to the registration website.
Of course, there was also a genetic test result attached, proving that her black hair and black eyes were purely natural.
While waiting for the news, Yu Xi also bought clothes and a wheelchair with Leviathan, and secretly released a mermaid in the trading market.
The mermaid recognized Yu Xi's identity, nodded excitedly, and vowed to bring Yu Xi's news to other mermaids in the ocean. Yu Xi was relieved.
A few days later, Yu Xi received an invitation from the palace.
Since there were too few people who fully met all the requirements, the ministers relaxed the requirements slightly in order to allow more people to come to the palace for the emperor to screen, so that candidates with black hair and black eyes could go to the palace to participate in the candidate ball.
When Yu Xi's information was obtained, there was a brief debate in the cabinet.
Because Yu Xi was the only candidate with pure black hair and black eyes, but on the other hand, his physical examination report showed that he was a disabled person.
But in the end, for the sake of safety, they still passed the information screening of Yu Xi.
The emperor's headaches became more and more frequent. Every mermaid that was similar to Yu Wei but completely different from her made the emperor uneasy, and his desire for Yu Wei became stronger.
So when the ministers first proposed to the emperor to hold a ball, the emperor was not very interested.
"Your Majesty, we have not been able to get any clues about the mermaids. What if we can't find them..."
Facing the emperor's cold eyes, the ministers shut their mouths embarrassedly.
In the end, they still failed to persuade His Majesty to attend the ball.
However, although the emperor did not attend the ball in person, the palace had already decided to record the appearance of each candidate in advance and show it to the emperor, so on the day the ball started, people still came and went, and there were servants at the door to check everyone's invitation letter one by one.
After many days of practice, Yu Xi was finally able to use her newly grown legs, but she would still fall easily without Leviathan's support.
However, unlike other candidates, Yu Xi took Leviathan and hid in the corridor after entering.
"System, system, is this inside the palace?"
System 08 scanned the area with its electronic eyes, [Yes, we have been in the atmosphere of the palace since we entered through the side door just now.]
Yu Xi nodded, and her originally serious face finally showed a little smile. She was about to say something when she heard System 08 continue: [But I just heard the servants' conversation. The emperor will not attend this ball. "
Yu Zhen exclaimed.
On the way to the palace, Yu Zhen had worked out a careful plan with System 08, which could be summed up in one sentence:
- Find the emperor, and then threaten him to sign a mermaid protection agreement.
Although it sounds very risky, System 08 will simulate a gun for Yu Zhen at that time, and Yu Zhen only needs to pretend to be an assassin and threaten the emperor with a fake gun.
"After all, Charlie is the crown prince," Yu Zhen said, "You see, Charlie is so old, and the emperor must be even older. Although I'm not a professional assassin... it should be easy to scare an old man, right? "
System 08 nodded seriously.
However, the protagonist of today's banquet, the emperor, would not show up, which disrupted all of Yu Zhen's plans.
Not only that, in order to collect the video of each candidate, the eunuchs of the palace also specially gathered every candidate together and held a small dinner in the middle of the ball.
The other candidates all raised their glasses of red wine gracefully along with the eunuch. Yu Nu looked around and stared at the red wine in her hand in embarrassment, her face wrinkled.
The eunuch had carefully studied the information of each candidate before, and was now paying close attention to Yu Nu. Seeing his unnatural expression, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Yu Nu's heart was alarmed, and she sat stiffly in her seat, afraid that her true identity would be discovered by humans, and her back was straight.
Facing the vague glances of everyone around her, Yu Nu had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the wine.
When the others left their seats in twos and threes and began to dance on the dance floor, Yu Nu was the only one sitting at the long table.
Leviathan beside him curiously came over to sniff the smell on Yu Nu.
Oh, it's different from usual.
It's also fragrant, but the fragrance is different.
Leviathan thought that Yu Nu's mouth smelled especially good after drinking the red water. He licked the corner of his mouth and came over to eat Yu Nu's mouth again.
But thinking that Yu Nu would get angry if his mouth was eaten, Leviathan held back.
System 08 sighed and felt that today's plan might not be completed. [Are you drunk?]
...Your alcohol tolerance is too small.
Yu Nu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, but her voice was very clear, "I... am not drunk?"
After saying that, Yu Nu felt a circle of butterflies dancing in front of her eyes, and she quickly shook her head to drive them away.
System 08: [...]
[Do you see the small door in front?] System 08 said, [You are drunk, go out and sober up. 】
The small door leads to the small garden. Most of the candidates in the banquet are still talking with the eunuchs to show their presence, and are not willing to run to the small garden to blow the cold winter wind at this critical moment.
Only Yu Zhen pushed the door and went out stupidly.
The winter wind was a bit cold, but Yu Zhen had just finished drinking, and now she only felt that her body was hot, her cheeks were flushed, and she obediently sat in the garden according to the instructions of System 08.
Leviathan stood obediently at the small door and watched to prevent others from coming.
[Are you sober now? ] The voice of the system was helpless.
Yu Zhen groaned, "I'm not drunk."
Her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, but she still said that she was not drunk.
Yu Xi was enjoying the breeze under the big tree over here. In the corner of the garden, the emperor was wearing a cloak and silently looking at the stars in the distance.
Every star that can be seen from the Emperor's Star is a planet he shot down when he was young.
But for the current emperor, the stars are within easy reach, but a little mermaid is really hard to find.
The attendant still held a thick hat in his hand, and couldn't help but worry when he saw the emperor's pale face, "Your Majesty, it's windy now, you still wear a hat?"
The emperor didn't answer, but frowned slightly to endure the pain that surged up, his expression unchanged.
"Or you can go in and take a look," the attendant was still persuading, "If your majesty doesn't want to see more, you can even avoid the wind inside."
The emperor was a little annoyed, and still didn't answer the attendant's words. He turned around and prepared to leave the garden alone.
But after turning around, through the overlapping shadows cast by the trees, the emperor saw the boy sitting by the flower bed and mumbling.
This is not...
The emperor narrowed his eyes and then stood still.
That... mermaid!
The emperor's head felt hot, and in an instant he felt that his headache had disappeared.
The hem of his clothes rustled in the cold wind, and the emperor strode forward and rushed in front of Yu Zhen in a few steps.
The emperor felt his heart pounding.
"You..."
Yu Zhen heard the system's reminder and noticed that there was a tall figure suddenly standing in front of her.
[He is the emperor. ]
The system's voice was very urgent.
Yu Zhen's eyes widened immediately.
The emperor looked at Yu Xi with disdainful eyes, and then the person who had haunted him countless times suddenly jumped up from the flowerbed, pointed at his nose and shouted in a very powerful voice:
"Don't move!"
