As the sharp question from the Spirit Eye fell, Agares couldn't find any words to refute it. He had broken his promise to cherish her and let her be unrestrained and carefree.
He did indeed draw his sword against her and physically assault her for the sake of others, knowing full well what she was afraid of, and even after she repeatedly reminded him, he still hurt her!
If it weren't for her strong willpower and physical strength, she would have been killed by him, and the children would have died too.
He knew he had no right to beg for her forgiveness, but... she was his wife, carrying his child, and he couldn't bring himself to give her up or abandon her.
Lingyan slightly raised his chin, taking in Agares's annoyance, regret, and self-reproach. His expression remained blank, but the sarcasm deepened: "Agares, you are known as the God of War, your military and combat abilities are second to none, but that doesn't prove your strength or your prowess. It's only because you were born in the Abel system; it doesn't prove anything else."
“You… should be grateful to live in the Abel Galaxy, you should be grateful that your master chose you to be his husband for a while, you should be grateful that you are the biological father of your little masters, otherwise, with you, 10 of you, 100 of you, your master could kill you as easily as playing around.”
"She faked her death and left, giving you plenty of face, drawing a line so that everyone could go their own way, and no one would interfere with anyone else. But you chased after her, replaced the robot in front of her, and even dared to yell at me!"
"Fine, Marshal Agares, you say she's your wife and she's carrying your child. Either you fight me now and we'll see if our master sides with me or you."
"Either you stop pretending and lay your cards on the table, and see if the master chooses me or you. If she helps you, if she chooses you, I will serve you as I would serve the master!"
Agares was suffering repeated defeats. He dared not gamble. He knew his little wife well. If he fought the Eye of the Spirit now, he would lose even the chance to stay by her side disguised as a robot.
Lingyan's voice softened, her eyelids lowered, there was no sarcasm, no mockery, her voice was like a clear spring, soothing the soul: "Since you're not going to take action, not to confront her, just do your job as a robot. You can still see her, and you can still see the children in her belly."
"Otherwise, Marshal Agares, you won't even be able to make a robot. You'll never see her again in this life, or even the next. Think about it carefully."
After saying that, Lingyan turned around and walked down the stairs without looking back.
Agares's lips twitched. As Jiang Si's husband, he had no right to say anything to her. It was he himself who pushed his wife and children far away with his own hands.
Jiang Dandan, who had come out to watch the commotion for no reason: "!!!!"
Tsk, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Look at Uncle Dog's behavior; Old Tea Tree defeated him in just a few words.
Sigh, this generation of uncles is really terrible, they've caused me so much worry.
Or maybe we should go smash him again.
Let him back down and get lost. Don't stop him from going down the path of the Sea Dragon King and never turning back, and don't stop him from going to the stars and the sea with his aunts and children.
Agares turned to the side and looked up at the upper deck of the ship.
Jiang Dandan dodged with a whoosh.
Dad.
That scared me to death!
Each of the 1201 companion spirits has its own room, but in order to absorb and cultivate, they entered their rooms from the deck and ended up sitting together in the third-floor lounge of the ship.
The reception room was covered with a thick carpet, and 1201 companion spirits sat cross-legged, handsome men and beautiful women, their bodies exuding a faint green spiritual energy.
Aying is the companion spirit of the Spirit Eye. He sensed it as soon as it appeared at the door. He silently got up, left the reception room, closed the door, and reached out to touch the Spirit Eye, his eyes filled with undisguised concern: "Spirit Eye, you seem to be feeling better. The water energy of the Merfolk is indeed useful to trees. I just absorbed some, so I'll give it to you too!"
The spirit eye grabbed his hand, displaying the gentle, unwavering demeanor of a tree standing still in the breeze and drizzle: "Ah Ying, are you a little fool? Why are you giving me what you've gone through so much trouble to absorb? It would be good for you and me too!"
Ah Ying smiled sheepishly: "Seeing that you look much better, I was so happy that I forgot all about it. No wonder I absorbed the energy of the Mermaid Pearl Water faster than usual today."
"I didn't understand it before, but now that I see that my spirit eye looks much better, I understand. When my tree and my spirit eye are healthy, I will become stronger, more powerful, and more beautiful!"
The spirit eye tightened its grip on his hand: "Yes, my companion spirit is the most beautiful."
Ah Ying blushed with embarrassment at being praised by her own tree.
Lingyan took his hand and led him away from the reception room to the empty deck, where they basked in the sun. Watching the waves and listening to the surf, she placed his hand on the golden conch shell bead on her wrist: "Aying, feel it!"
Ah Ying rested his hand on the golden conch shell, and an energy even more powerful than the water energy of the mermaids he absorbed was flowing through his palm.
His face went from calm to shock to disbelief. Then he raised his head, opened his eyes wide, looked at the Spirit Eye, and opened his mouth with uncontrollable joy: "Spirit Eye, the Mermaid Clan's treasure, the Conch Golden Pearl, can nourish your spiritual power and body, right?"
The spirit eye nodded slightly: "Yes, Master, you placed it here to nourish my spiritual power and body. You no longer need to worry about me. I will stay with you for a very long time."
The conch shell can nourish his body and his spirit, giving him a brief, temporary improvement in complexion, like a final burst of energy before death.
However, the spiritual energy and nourishing power within the Conch Pearl were simply insufficient to repair his already decaying body.
He was a tree, a tree whose leaves had withered and turned yellow, whose body had turned to jade, and whose inside had long been rotten and decayed.
Even with the most potent nourishing substances and the surging spiritual energy flowing into his body, he could not be rejuvenated and grow like a young tree, flourishing with lush foliage.
Aying was his companion spirit, the only color, the only bond, and the only support in his lonely years of waiting for his master.
Without his companionship and support, he would surely not live to see his master and would have chosen to end his own life in the endless, lonely years.
So... he was selfish. He didn't want Ah Ying to worry about him, to be anxious, and to die with him in the end. He hoped that Ah Ying would live, that she could still live even after leaving him, her "tree".
At this moment, Aying was happier than if she had drunk the morning dew, felt the wind of the rising sun, and felt the cold warmth of the sun. She jumped happily into Lingyan's arms, hooked her arms around his neck, and said in a cheerful voice that drowned out the waves of the sea: "Lingyan, I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so happy."
"My tree can live for another ten thousand years, and it can stay with me for another ten thousand years. I no longer have to worry about my tree dying. I no longer have to worry. Spirit Eye, I am so happy!"
Lingyan, acting like she was coaxing a child, gently cradled him in her hands and coaxed him softly, "Yes, I look good now and can stay with you for a long time, all thanks to Master. Without Master, I wouldn't look so good now. From now on..."
Before Lingyan could finish speaking, Aying happily interrupted him, saying, "From now on, I will treat my master even better, just like Lingyan treats his master."
The spirit eye smiled faintly: "Yes, you must be good to your master. Without your master, there would be neither me nor you. No matter what, you must be wholeheartedly good to your master, understand?"
He is a tree.
A tree whose days are numbered, a tree with an owner, it understands its owner, loves its owner, and has witnessed its owner's various activities in the laboratory.
He knew what his master liked and disliked.
He knew what she longed for beneath her seemingly carefree smile.
He wanted to arrange everything before he died.
All the ginkgo trees and all their companion spirits must be loyal to their masters, must never disobey them, and must protect them to the death. In this way, when their masters return to the ancient Earth of China in the Milky Way, no matter what they encounter, they will have someone to protect them.
Ah Ying smiled sweetly, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice: "I know, I know, without a master there would be no spiritual eye, no me, no other ginkgo trees with spiritual consciousness, no companion spirits!"
“Yes!” Spirit Eye bent down and put him on the ground, reaching out to rub his head, just like spoiling a child: “Alright, talk to the others again, go absorb some more of the Merfolk’s water energy, we’ll be at the Merfolk’s central city in an hour!”
Ah Ying gave a loud "Mmm," and in her joy, she didn't forget to hug Lingyan. When she left, she tossed her long hair, skipped and jumped, her whole body radiating happiness and joy.
Lingyan watched him until he was out of sight, then looked away, her smile fading, and she sighed softly. Once back on the ship, she would have to find a way to make Aying the companion spirit of his branching spirit, so that after he died, he could live a long, long life…
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and they arrived at the central city of the Merfolk's Bixu Star.
Bixu Star is a water-based planet, with oceans covering 95% of the entire planet and only 5% being land. It is rich in water resources, with water everywhere.
Therefore... the central city where the mermaids of Bixu Star live is built on water. The area is vast and the buildings are magnificent, making it look like a crystal palace on the water.
The foundation of the central city is made of transparent ore. Walking on the roads of the central city, you can see the water flowing below, and you can even see swimming mermaids.
Jiang Si donned a huge hat, sunglasses, a long beach dress, strappy sandals, and lipstick. With her waist-length curly hair flowing freely, she led the handsome men and beautiful women off the boat.
More than 1,000 handsome men and beautiful women of all shapes and sizes appeared at the entrance of the central city, causing a stir of whispers and discussions: "Which family of the mermaids are these? How come so many of them came at once? They are all so beautiful."
"Yeah, yeah, look at those legs, so white and straight. And the things she's wearing, the floral shirt, and the shorts. They look so ordinary, but those shorts alone cost 8800 yuan a pair!"
"Oh my, mermaids are really rich. Unlike us humans, we have to do manual labor to get paid. When mermaids are broke, they just pinch themselves and squeeze out a couple of tears, and that's money."
"Stop talking, stop talking! They're looking over here, looking over here! Hey, what's that? The captain of the Merfolk submarine, Fu Li? Look, look! Am I seeing things?"
"Are you seeing things? Are you seeing things? It really is Captain Fu Li! Look, look! Fu Li is walking up to that little mermaid! Wow, this little mermaid is something else!"
The little mermaid Jiang Si, who was misunderstood as not being simple, asked Fu Li as soon as he walked up to her, "Fu Li, have you found the person who calls me 'little darling' yet?"
Fu Li was respectful and polite: "I'm sorry, we haven't found him yet. However, I can pay for all your expenses for coming to Bixu Star until we find him."
Wow.
Fu Huanbaba is probably the elder king of the mermaid clan.
Before the fish even appeared, but only a golden conch shell appeared, someone already paid for it.
Keep in mind that there were over 1,000 people, not just one person.
Just drinking water costs several thousand Star Coins per person per cup.
What's more, there's accommodation, souvenirs, and other souvenirs, all of which cost Star Coins.
This whole thing could easily cost hundreds of millions.
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "Take your hand out!"
Although Fu Li didn't understand why she was asked to take out her hand, she was the owner of the Conch Golden Pearl, so she did as she was told and stretched out her hand towards Jiang Si.
Jiang Si reached into her own space and grabbed a handful of plant crystal cores, placing them in her palm.
Fu Li's pupils constricted; it was a Star Diamond Ore!
After Jiang Si finished placing the crystal core, she gathered her fingers together, her red lips slightly parted, ambiguous and deliberately misleading: "Fu Li, do you think I asked you to find him because I'm really short of money and need someone to pay the bill?"
"What are you thinking? You can't find him, and you're still paying for me? You only earn a few dollars a month. Are you going to cry and try to exchange the beads for money later?"
"Forget it, I brought people from my hometown here to broaden their horizons, not to spend your money. We have money, and there are plenty of rough diamonds back home. We can easily pick up some, you understand?"
Fu Li captured the keywords.
My hometown, Zuxing!
Star Diamond Rough Stone\\u003d Deep Sea Mermaid is not short of money, but is too rich to be fishy.
The missing high priest is on the ancestral planet!
The little fish in front of us... The High Priest and the deep-sea mermaid give birth to the little fish!
The little fish brought over 1,000 deep-sea mermaids from their ancestral planet to find mates.
Fu Li's heart trembled like a tidal wave, but his face remained calm. He lowered the hand holding the star diamond rough and said, "I understand, I understand, I understand perfectly. Then I won't bother you any longer. Have fun!"
Jiang Si nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
Fu Li, holding a handful of star diamond ore, quickly returned to the submarine. Her earpiece immediately rang: "Boss, boss, that little girl is Little Fish from the High Priest's family, right? And those 1,000-plus deep-sea mermaids following behind her are from the ancestral planet, aren't they!"
"Boss, boss, what did Little Fish give you? Everyone who sees it gets a share, so hurry up and take it out and distribute it!"
"Boss, say something! Hurry up and say it!"
Fu Li raised his hand with the quantum computer, tapped it a few times, and then opened his mouth, unable to hide the excitement in his voice, and said, "You're right. Our High Priest ran back to the ancestral star and had a baby with a deep-sea mermaid. The baby brought with him 1,000 people who are not human but mermaids. Genuine deep-sea mermaids came from the ancestral star."
"Most importantly, those 1,000-plus deep-sea mermaids are all single, and they deliberately came to the mermaid clan with the little fish to choose a partner."
"I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I've already asked for leave. I'm going to have a chance encounter with those deep-sea mermaids. I'm definitely going to find a partner among those 1,000-plus mermaids!"
