A few days later, Si Xu arranged for Lu Jiu to meet with the Elton family.
Si Xu accompanied Lu Jiu, and when they arrived, all the members of the Elton family were there.
They all looked at the two people who came in. The Elton family only took one look and then all their eyes fell on the long-haired young man.
The young man wore a black mask, had a slender figure, and smooth and straight black hair. Except for the wrong color of his pupils, his eyebrows and long hair were exactly the same as the mermaid announced by Country H.
The Elton family almost didn't need to confirm it anymore, this person was definitely the mermaid.
Old Elton was skinny, his cloudy eyes stared at Lu Jiu. He tried to stand up tremblingly, and the blond middle-aged man beside him hurriedly supported the old man and stood up.
Little Lei Lei, who was sitting on the sofa, was wearing a beautiful little skirt and little boots. She was very happy to see Lu Jiu, and jumped off the sofa and ran over.
Little Lei Lei lifted her little skirt and said shyly, "Lu, can you hug me?"
Lu Jiu: "..."
Lu Jiu looked at the other people in the Elton family.
Lottie picked up her sister who was pretending to be a lady from behind, "Now is not the time to fool around, you can be quiet."
Little Leilei disagreed with Lottie's statement, "I am not fooling around, I am showing closeness, we are a family."
When Little Leilei said this, her gem-like eyes stared at Lu Jiu, "Lu, do you want to be a family with us?"
Lu Jiu was asked.
The people of the Elton family seemed a little nervous when they saw Lu Jiu, and they had been restraining their emotions. The middle-aged
handsome man with blond hair handed the old man to the beautiful lady and took the initiative to walk over.
"Hello, I'm Ansel Elton, the head of the Elton family of this generation."
After Ansel introduced himself, he introduced the old man and the beautiful lady to Lu Jiu. The old man was Lawson Elton, and the lady was Ansel's wife Natia Limo.
Lu Jiu already knew Lottie and little Leila.
All the members of the Elton family were here, and they just wanted to confirm whether Lu Jiu was the blood of that child.
Lu Jiu introduced himself and Si Xu. He saw that the old man looked very weak and it was difficult for him to stand.
"Let's sit down and talk."
Both parties sat down, and the Elton family looked at Lu Jiu expectantly.
Old Elton spoke in a hoarse voice. Lu Jiu did not understand, but he could hear the caution and prudence in the old man's tone.
Ansel said, "My father wants to confirm whether you are a siren."
In silence, Lu Jiu had already let the system test them to see if they really had siren genes.
The system's test results showed that all the members of the Elton family present had siren genes. Even Ansel's wife Natia had siren genes, which surprised Lu Jiu. Did the Siren family digest this internally?
Lu Jiu looked at Si Xu, who nodded. He would support Lu Jiu's decision.
Rujiu said, "I am a siren."
Xiao Lailei said excitedly, "Is the siren in the photo really you? Your siren form is so beautiful."
Xiao Lailei touched her legs, and it was obvious that she had been fantasizing about her siren form for a long time.
Rujiu thanked Xiao Lailei for the compliment.
"That siren was indeed me. Now can you tell me why my mother is wandering outside?"
Ansel said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we want to confirm your identity with our own eyes. After all, what I want to say involves the secrets of our entire siren family." Ansel
took out a bottle of water and put it on the table.
Rujiu raised his eyebrows, "Sea water?"
Ansel's eyes brightened a little, "Yes."
According to the ancient books of the Siren Family, sirens in human form will only appear in siren form when they encounter sea water.
Since he has already acknowledged his identity, Rujiu doesn't mind confirming his identity in person.
Lu Jiu reached out to take the bottle, but Si Xu took it first. He twisted the bottle cap and poured some liquid on his hand. After confirming that it was just water, he handed it to Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu looked at him helplessly. Si Xu was worried that the liquid in the bottle would hurt him, so why wouldn't Lu Jiu worry about Si Xu getting hurt?
Lu Jiu took the bottle and put his right hand on the table. He took a breath and then poured the sea water on his right hand.
A piercing pain came over him. Lu Jiu tried hard to remain expressionless, but his micro-expressions still didn't escape Si Xu's eyes.
When his right hand met the sea water, it began to deform as if it was melted. The white and slender fingers quickly turned into webbed hands with slender bones and sharp fingertips. During the deformation process, they could almost hear the compression and extension of the bones.
The change was so great that this process would definitely not be easy.
Si Xu pursed his lips and stared at the webbed hand. After leaving the sea water, it quickly returned to the shape of a normal palm.
Si Xu swept the sea water on the table to the ground, worried that Lu Jiu would touch them again.
Lu Jiu slowly exhaled, "Can we talk now?"
Everyone in the Elton family came back to their senses from the shock.
Ansiel suppressed his excitement and glanced at Si Xu, "Can we talk to him alone?"
"No need." Lu Jiu held Si Xu's hand, "He is my partner."
Si Xu's gloomy mood slightly brightened, and the corners of his mouth rose.
Lu Jiu made their relationship public without hesitation, which was very useful to Si Xu.
The Elton family was shocked again.
Ansiel's eyes swept over their clasped hands, "If I remember correctly, you are only 20 years old this year."
Lu Jiu corrected him, "I will be 21 after the New Year."
Sobbing sounds suddenly sounded, and little Lei Lei looked at Lu Jiu and began to shed tears.
Rujiu: “???”
Little Laile threw herself into her brother’s arms, sobbing softly, “My boyfriend… is gone, wuwuwu…”
Rujiu: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Even a little kid wants to snatch his boyfriend?
Lottie coaxed her, "A lady shouldn't be so rude."
Little Leilei tried to restrain her sobs, and with red eyes she reached out for her mother to hold her.
Natia took little Leilei over, held her in her arms and coaxed her. Little Leilei stopped crying, and lay in her mother's arms listlessly, feeling very aggrieved.
Lu Jiu frowned, "I should be your brother, there is no possibility for us."
Little Leilei's tears that had just stopped began to flow again, "We are cousins, we can get married."
Lu Jiu had a headache. How could such a young child have so much adult logic? Could it be because of her strong siren genes?
According to the test results just now, among the Elton family, little Lailei has the most concentrated siren gene. She will most likely enter the awakening state when she grows up. Without sufficient magic energy, she will follow the old path of Si Xu.
Si Xu held Lu Jiu's hand tightly. Lu Jiu hurried to comfort the one beside him and interlocked his fingers with him.
Lu Jiu knew that little Lailei would not understand love. She was most likely to like or envy his siren form.
Lu Jiu said: "Lailei, you will become a cute little siren."
Little Lailei wiped her tears, "Really? Although we all have siren genes, no one can become a siren."
She really envied his siren form.
Lu Jiu said: "Times are different now. The radiation energy from the outside world is the energy we rely on for survival. When the energy is enough, you will become a little mermaid with golden hair and a small golden tail."
Little Lei Lei's wet eyes were wide open, full of expectation, and she stared at her legs again.
Lu Jiu was amused. It seemed that she really wanted to become a mermaid.
After being interrupted by Little Lei Lei, Ansel didn't know what to say, and told Lu Jiu about his mother's experience.
Ansel said: "Our sirens and the Haiga tribes have had the custom of intermarriage since ancient times."
Lu Jiu confirmed his guess that this matter was really related to the Haiga tribe.
"Several of our ancient clans have records that we came here because of a great disaster. This is not our original home and we do not belong here. The ancestors of several ancient clans have been trying to find a way to go back. The environment here is not suitable for us to survive. In order to survive, our ancestors tried their best to abandon our pure and strong bloodline and could only intermarry with humans, artificially diluting our bloodline time and time again."
This behavior continued for a long time. Among these ancient clans, any person with pure ancient bloodline would die young. Only those with thin ancient bloodline could survive. This allowed them to continue using the methods of their ancestors and intermarry with humans.
The power of several ancient tribes is getting weaker and weaker. If they continue like this, they will definitely be assimilated by this world, and no one will remember their origins and identities. The
later ancient tribesmen were unwilling to give up their original identities and began to find ways to save their increasingly thin bloodline. At this time, the Haijia tribe found the Shanghai Yao tribe, intending to restore intermarriage, purify the bloodline, and restore the powerful power that should belong to them. The
Haijia tribe found the Shanghai Yao tribe, in addition to wanting to purify the bloodline, they also wanted to get the magic crystals in the hands of the sea monsters. With the magic crystals, if there are offspring with pure blood, they can rely on the magic crystals to prolong their lifespan.
The Haijia tribe does not have magic crystals, or the magic crystals brought by the Haijia tribe have been used up, and they need magic crystals.
If the Sirens want to have a pure bloodline, they can only rely on luck, but the Seagar tribe can rely on magic crystal marrow to strengthen the ancient tribe genes and get powerful tribesmen, which is exactly what the Sirens do not have. After strengthening the ancient tribe genes, they need magic crystals to replenish energy so that they can continue to survive, so the Sirens and the Seagar tribes resumed intermarriage and helped each other.
Ansel said: "Intermarriage has been resumed for many generations. In my grandfather's generation, intermarriage between the two tribes continued. My aunt, your grandmother Weiner, fell in love with a handsome Asian before the Seagar tribe came to ask for her hand in marriage."
Lu Jiu's grandmother was a very thoughtful woman. She hated marriages without feelings. She did not want to be a tool for family marriages. She yearned for freedom and chose her own love. She refused to marry into the Seagar tribe.
But Weiner's father was a very mediocre head of the family. The Haijia tribe was getting stronger and stronger, and he didn't dare to offend them. Moreover, his ancestors had already resumed intermarriage. He didn't dare to break the rules, nor did he have the ability to break the rules. So under the coercion of the Haijia tribe, he married Weiner to Vanlunsi of the Haijia tribe.
Before the marriage, Weiner tried to escape many times but failed. Weiner's father threatened Weiner with the life of the Asian man. Weiner didn't want her lover to lose his life, so she had to marry into the Haijia family.
Weiner was heartbroken because she couldn't stay with her lover and her family didn't stand on her side.
Weiner and Vanlunsi's marriage was just a means to maintain the interests of the two families. They had no feelings for each other. Weiner didn't let Vanlunsi touch him, and Vanlunsi was not short of women around him. They lived in the same manor, but they didn't interfere with each other.
Two months later, Weiner learned that she was pregnant. She knew who the father of the child was, which gave her a glimmer of hope in her gloomy life. She told her father the news, hoping that with his help, she and Van Lance would divorce. Otherwise, the fact that she was pregnant with someone else's child would definitely anger the Hejia clan, and then the entire Siren family would be angered.
Weiner's father was very angry and was also afraid that the Hejia clan would know about this. He threatened Weiner again that if she let Van Lance know about this, the Siren family would indeed be angered, but the first to die would definitely be the Asian man and the child in her belly.
Weiner was really scared. She wanted to give birth to the child first before considering leaving the Haijia family. She used the excuse that Van Luns had too many mistresses, had a big quarrel with Van Luns, and moved out of the Haijia family manor in anger and went to live in her own manor.
Weiner secretly gave birth to the child there and carefully hid the child with a peasant woman for foster care. She wanted to contact her beloved and wanted to escape this place with him and the child. When
Weiner arrived at the agreed location, she only saw the hanging body of her lover.
Weiner thought that her father had betrayed her. She did not return to her own manor, did not contact the Siren family, and fled with her daughter overnight. She wandered around with her child, and no one knew where they went. Every time they got news about them, when people caught up, they had already moved to another place.
A few years later, Vanlens announced that he would accept the child as long as Weina came back.
The Siren family had endured the wrath of the Hejia family for many years and had long been dissatisfied with the Hejia family. Weina's lover was killed by Vanlens, but the blame was put on Weina's father, which led to Weina's estrangement from the Siren family. This made Weina's father angry and regretful. More than
ten years later, Vanlens finally caught Weina. Vanlens asked her where her child was. Weina knew very well that once her child was found, he would definitely not survive. Weina hated them to death. She hated the Hejia family and the Siren family. Vanlens killed Weina in an extremely cruel way.
After Weina's father learned the news, he fell ill and died soon after.
His sister died tragically, his father passed away due to illness, all of these were engraved in Lawson's heart. He hated the Seagar tribe, but he was powerless to fight against them. He had been silently enduring, waiting for the day when the Sirens would become stronger.
Lawson did not propose to the Seagar tribe. He secretly gave birth to a child with an ordinary woman, and that child was Ansel.
A few days after Ansel was born, his mother was killed in the bedroom, and the child escaped under the desperate protection of the tribe members.
Since the incident with Weiner, the Sirens have been persecuted by the Seagar tribe. Since the Sirens completely broke up with the Seagar tribe and stopped intermarriage, the Seagar tribe began to wantonly abduct the young descendants of the Sirens tribe, especially the Sirens women. The Seagar tribe abducted them and let them give birth to pure blood descendants for the Seagar tribe.
Not only the Elton family, a branch of the Sirens, but also the Limo family, a branch of the Sirens, were implicated and could hardly survive.
The Limo family came to the Elton family for help, and the two families reached an agreement and decided to marry and join forces to fight against the Seagar tribe.
Ansel married the daughter of the Limo family, Natia, and only then could he give birth to such excellent children as Lottie and Leilei. Both of them have high siren genes, and they have become the hope of the entire Sirens tribe.
The biggest hope of the two families now is to raise Lottie and Leilei to adulthood, especially Leilei, who has encountered danger many times and finally raised to this age.
Lawson has never given up looking for his sister's descendants, especially since it is still a girl. Lawson is particularly worried that she will be found by the Seagar tribe first.
Lawson's health was getting worse and worse. His only obsession was to find the child, otherwise he would not dare to die. He was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his sister after his death. He had been holding on until now, and he was exhausted.
Not long ago, they finally got accurate information that Weiner might have sent the child to Country Z. The Elton family then secretly applied for entry to find their relatives.
They did not expect that they did not find the child, but found her descendants.
Ansel said: "The Haiga tribe will not let go of any mermaid with pure blood. We are very worried about your situation. They will find you sooner or later. We hope you can be safe."
