Chapter 124: The Fragrance of the Handsome Guy
A Tang Dynasty poem says: "The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises with the tide."
The bright moon and the tide, the moonlight and the silver waves, all shine brightly, sharing the same color in the sky.
It would be a pity if there were no wine to accompany such stunning beauties.
Chu Liuxiang was half lying on the deck, with one hand supporting his head and the other hand on his bent knees, his eyes half closed, looking a little melancholy.
Just a few days ago, his friend suddenly turned out to be the murderer and committed suicide in front of him...
Seven Wonderful Monks, before that day, who would have linked him to the bloody murder?
He guessed many people, but never thought it would be Wuhua.
Chu Liuxiang was the only one on the boat. Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu and Song Tianer had gone out two days ago, saying they were going to buy some things for their daughters' households. They did not allow him to go with them and took away half of the wine on the boat when they left. They were afraid that Chu Liuxiang would drink too much and drown in the sea.
Of course, this is just a joke. Chu Liuxiang is an excellent swimmer, and there are few people in the world who can swim as well as him.
Drinking too much is harmful to the body. He is feeling upset right now, so it is better for him not to drink too much.
Chu Liuxiang was grateful for their thoughtfulness and specially left such a private environment for him.
He is not the kind of person who dwells on the past for a long time, but the incident happened suddenly, and even though many days have passed, he still can't recover from it.
Everyone says that the underworld is treacherous, and it is indeed treacherous. The person whom I consider to be my best friend has actually been using me all along, always thinking about how to kill me, and even killing my relatives for his own selfish desires...
To this day, Chu Liuxiang still feels horrified whenever he recalls the scene of that day.
The human heart... can it really be so unpredictable?
He wanted to drink again.
Rongrong and the others were right to take away half of the wine. Even if he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, how could he not get drunk in this situation?
Suddenly, the rippling light on the sea surface flashed, so dazzling that Chu Liuxiang, who was caught off guard, closed his eyes tightly, and his eyeballs felt like they were burning for an instant.
Blah.
He heard the sound of water being pushed aside.
Something has come to the surface of the sea...
Chu Liuxiang had just opened his eyes, but before he could see clearly what had broken through the surface of the sea, he heard a very weak voice.
The sound is as clear and crisp as the collision of gold and jade, as elegant as the fresh rain in the empty mountains, and as gentle as the sound of nature revolving around the beams. When you hear it, you will feel as if you are floating in a trance...
No!
Chu Liuxiang was startled. The voice just said -
"Help."
There was a sound of breaking water, and the man in blue, who was half lying on the deck just now, had already jumped into the sea, like a white shark in the waves, and went straight to the source of the sound.
…
It is true that one should not be too confident in what one says.
Just before, Tarona told Tianqi, who was full of admiration, that the crappy buff might not take effect, so he confidently brought Seth into the mission world, but the next moment, the damn crappy buff took effect!
After occupying the land as usual and knowing that there was still no world-class crisis in this mission world, she brought an SR vest card, [Dead Sea Mermaid], so she decided to land on the sea.
However, as soon as she entered the mission world, she encountered both luck and misfortune.
Fortunately, as soon as Tarona emerged from the sea, he saw the son of destiny of this world.
Unfortunately, that damn buff suddenly took effect at this moment, and half of her body suddenly fell into a complex mechanical failure and could not swim!
Mermaid! In the sea! Can't swim!
Big Witch: ...
Witch swears!
Yes, you heard it right, it was a mechanical failure.
[Dead Sea Mermaid] is a modified body.
The setting of "Dead Sea Mermaid" is the interstellar future. She comes from a planet where the ocean coverage rate exceeds 80%, and the intelligent life there is mermaid.
The mermaids originally lived happily and peacefully until a group of interstellar raiders invaded their planet.
The ten-year war completely destroyed the planet's ecological environment. The blue sea turned turbid, countless mermaid corpses sank in the trenches, and the tragic voices of the planet and life kept echoing in the empty ocean.
At this time, a surviving mermaid stood up.
Her name is Doris.
Decades ago, she had saved a man who claimed to be an interstellar traveler. The man gave her a communicator with a unique code that she could dial when she needed help.
However, he was unable to compete with the forces invading the planet, so he gave Doris two choices:
Take her and her family away, or transform yourself into the most powerful humanoid robot of this era.
Doris chose the latter.
A madman who was known as the most powerful transformation master in the whole universe took over her transformation. The weak mermaid welcomed this long pain with deep hatred for the invader, and allowed the transformer to cut her body and remove her organs with a mad smile.
She swore in a pool of blood that she would kill all invaders and use their blood and heads to commemorate her dead tribesmen!
When Doris woke up again on the transformation table, her eyes, which were once as blue as the ocean, had completely turned into inorganic metallic gray. Her appearance was still the same as before, but she knew that the only parts of her body that remained the same as before were her brain and heart.
Doris has no regrets.
Before this, she was just an ordinary mermaid.
After that, she became the "Dead Mermaid" who represented the god of death and reaped countless lives.
The ocean, which was gradually heading towards death, finally got its hope. Just as she had vowed, Doris killed all the invaders. Their blood flowed into the turbid sea. The lives that survived the war swallowed the bloody blood in big gulps, and hoarse cries came out of their throats that should have produced heavenly sounds.
The gentle and kind-hearted mermaids embarked on a tragic turning point in their fate. Under the leadership of their new leader Doris, they left their home planet which was about to enter a long recovery period and stepped into the vast sea of stars.
They took up arms and fought for countless lives and civilizations that had the same experiences as them. The gentle mermaids eventually became a fighting race that the world trembled with fear.
And their leader, [Dead Mermaid] Doris, is the agent of death in the world.
Wherever she passed, the Dead Sea sank and corpses were everywhere.
Do not cry out for mercy, for she has no mercy.
…
This transformed mermaid that struck fear into the hearts of invaders all over the world was actually unable to swim because of a debuff that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
Seriously?!
Tarona floated on the sea with dead eyes, looking as if she had lost all desire for life. At this moment, apart from the small treasury, she could not think of anything else in the world that was worth her lingering on.
Outside the world, Seth was about to press the virtual keyboard to sparks, but the victim, who had drawn some power from the small treasury, comforted him: "Don't press it, it's useless, just let it go, I can't drown anyway."
If it were Theseus, he wouldn't be so worried. It shows that he is still ignorant.
In just a few seconds, Tarona went from feeling hopeless to feeling okay.
[Dead Sea Mermaid] doesn't need to breathe and her body is light, so she can't sink. But the Son of Destiny has already swam over to save her.
Never mind. Even though the start is embarrassing, I still have the advantage, so I should just take it easy.
Blah.
Chu Liuxiang had already swam to her side.
Tarona closed his eyes and pretended to have fainted. The arms around his waist were very strong, and he swam towards the boat through the sea with ease, which showed that Chu Liuxiang was indeed a good swimmer.
I'm afraid that Ye Gucheng, who grew up by the sea, is not as good at swimming as him.
Chu Liuxiang, who is very good at drinking water, has his ears turned red.
The waist that his arms were wrapped around was as soft as water, and he was afraid that it would dissolve into the sea water if he exerted the slightest force. His sense of smell had clearly been used for a long time, but at this moment he vaguely smelled a fresh and subtle fragrance that penetrated deep into his nostrils.
This is a woman.
When he held her waist and lifted her up from the sea, he saw her face soaked by sea water.
beautiful.
This was the only word that popped into Xiang Shuai's mind.
He had gorgeous words and poems that had been passed down for thousands of years, but only this word appeared in his mind.
This is an extremely beautiful woman. Even the most gorgeous words and the most exaggerated poems cannot describe her beauty. The word "beauty" was naturally created for her.
Except for her, no one else in the world can bear the word "beauty".
How can there be such a beautiful person in the world?
If it were someone else, they would probably not even be able to swim at this moment.
Chu Liuxiang slowed down and swam back to the boat at a speed several times slower than when he came here. He held the unconscious beauty in one hand and grabbed the anchor chain of the boat with the other. It was not seen how much strength he exerted, but in a flash, he was back on the deck.
The beauty in his arms was as soft as boneless and her breath was as gentle as a floating silk thread. Chu Liuxiang stretched out his hand and touched her wrist as white as jade, and his slightly wrinkled brows relaxed.
Fortunately, although it is weak, it is not serious and I just need to take good care of myself.
He gently picked up the unconscious beauty and carried her into the passenger cabin of the ship.
There was a difference between men and women. Chu Liuxiang stood only half a finger away from her and used his underwear to help dry his clothes. Then he returned to his cabin, wrote the letter quickly, and rolled it into a small scroll as thick as a thumb. He took out the carrier pigeon he was feeding, stuffed it into the special letter tube on the pigeon's leg, opened the window and let it fly out.
He needs Rongrong and the others to come back.
However, Su Rongrong and the other two were in trouble at the moment. On the way back, they ran into a group of evildoers who were determined to fight them.
Their martial arts were not the martial arts of the Central Plains, but the styles of the desert. However, they were very varied, as if various styles were mixed together. Although they had no intention of killing, their intention was to trap them.
This made Song Tianer a little unsure for a moment, wondering whether she should take out the hidden weapon in her arms and catch them all in one fell swoop.
She was very upset. When she made this hidden weapon, she should have made one with a knockout drug. Now the poison that kills instantly upon impact is no longer useful.
After a long stalemate, a masked old man came up from behind the crowd. After saying a few polite words that were not pleasant to the ears, he handed a letter to the three people.
Su Rongrong answered the phone.
When she finished reading the letter, her expression suddenly changed and she looked at the old man with fierce eyes.
Li Hongxiu and Song Tianer, who had not seen the content of the letter, looked at each other. Although they were confused, they immediately stood on the same front with their sisters.
The old man laughed and waved his hand, and everyone made way for him: "Three ladies, please come in. My master would like to invite you three to be guests at home."
A carriage pulled by two horses appeared at the entrance of the alley with a clatter. The body of the carriage was clean and without any emblems.
Su Rongrong's face looked very unhappy. She clenched the letter in her hand, nodded to the two sisters, and took the lead to walk over.
Li Hongxiu and Song Tianer understood her look, looked around at everyone with a stern look, snorted coldly, and followed her.
Song Tianer thought that she should not have hesitated just now, and she should have directly used her fatal hidden weapon to kill all these people!
At the same time, she was filled with worry.
Since the master behind these people dared to use Chu Liuxiang to threaten them, he must have really posed a threat to Chu Liuxiang...
Chu Liuxiang, oh Chu Liuxiang, you must not fall into the hands of such a coward!
Seeing that all three people had boarded the carriage, the old man nodded and waved to the person next to him, motioning him to come over.
The man put away his curved knife and walked over respectfully.
The old man handed him a pearl and told him: "Be sure to deliver the pearl to Chu Liuxiang and tell him that my master invites him to his home and Miss Su and her friends have already gone there."
Only after the man with the pearls walked away did the old man let out a long sigh.
He didn't know whether the young master made the right move or not, but he knew... the young master had no other options.
