Chapter 118: Men and women should not touch each other
Bai Zhaoyan didn't answer but asked, "What are your names?"
At the same time, he called out to the system in his mind, "The location of the Purple Chen Pearl."
Xiyue thought that since she couldn't see him anyway, even if she did go ashore, she wouldn't be able to accurately find the location of the Mermaid Tribe again, so he didn't hide it. "This is the Mermaid Tribe. My name is Xiyue, and his name is Tongxu. We are both from the Mermaid Tribe."
[System: Right in front of you, one meter away. Hanging around Tong Xu's neck.]
Bai Zhaoyan nodded, "I see. My name is Bai Zhaoyan."
No wonder they speak so nicely.
"Bai Zhaoyan." Tong Xu repeated, praising sincerely, "Your name is very nice."
"Thank you." Bai Zhaoyan turned her head to face him, her smile not reaching her eyes.
How come her cheat is on Tong Xu? The system is cheating her again.
[System: I don't have it. The Purple Pearl originally fell into the South China Sea Trench, but was picked up by the Mermaid King as a treasure. It has been passed down through the generations. This is beyond my control.]
Tong Xu looked at her smile, leaned close to Xiyue's ear and whispered, "Uncle, let's not send her away. She's so small and cute. I want to keep her as a pet."
Bai Zhaoyan took in all his words, and the smile on her lips froze.
He is the pet, his whole family has ornamental fish.
Xiyue looked at Bai Zhaoyan, then at Tong Xu, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but she's a human being, not some little fish in the sea that can only blow bubbles. How can you just raise her like that?"
"Can you raise one?"
Tong Xu shook his head.
"Can you guarantee that I can keep her alive?"
Tong Xu still shook his head.
"That's right, send him away quickly. We are kind-hearted."
Tong Xu was a little gloomy, "Okay then."
He finally had the chance to see species other than the mermaids, and he was reluctant to leave.
When Bai Zhaoyan heard that she was about to be sent away, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly sobbed.
The two fish immediately fell silent and looked up at her, confused, "Why are you crying?"
Tong Xuyou stepped forward, holding Bai Zhaoyan's face and looking left and right. Bai Zhaoyan subconsciously tilted her head, even pretending to cry and unable to hold back her expression. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tong Xu touched the corner of her eye with his cool fingertips and called Xiyue to come over and see, "Uncle, it turns out that the tears of foreigners cannot turn into pearls."
Xiyue also came over and looked left and right. Bai Zhaoyan felt like a monkey in a zoo and quickly broke free from Tong Xu's hand. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Stay away from me."
I couldn't cry anymore after he interrupted me.
So annoying.
"Eh?" Tong Xu's hands were empty, and he noticed her furrowed brows and slightly red nose. He realized that she had been crying and must be very sad. He immediately sat down next to Bai Zhaoyan, "Why are you crying?"
He doesn't like to cry. Although tears can turn into pearls, crying means that something bad has happened.
Hearing the topic return, Bai Zhaoyan sniffed dryly and spoke, "You don't know, I was originally a member of the Tiger Tribe, but was persecuted and ended up blind and dying."
"I came to the South China Sea this time to find medicine that can save my life, otherwise I would be dying soon." After Bai Zhaoyan finished speaking, he covered his lips and coughed lightly twice, then spread out his hands to show the two fish. There was a trace of bright red blood on his palms.
Tong Xu and Xiyue had never experienced any intrigue and were unaware of the wickedness of human nature, so they became furious upon hearing this.
Tong Xu's hair stood on end, his chest heaving violently, and the corners of his eyes flushed red, as if he were the one blind and dying. "This is too much, too much. How could I do this to you?"
"Bai Zhaoyan, tell me what the medicine you want is called and where it is. I will ask all my friends in the mermaid tribe to help you find it. We will definitely find it soon!" The friends that Tong Xu mentioned were all underage members of the mermaid tribe, headed by him and Xiyue.
"Really?" Bai Zhaoyan rubbed his eyes, making them red and looking even more pitiful. "The pill I'm looking for is called Zichenzhu."
Tong Xu looked at Xiyue, "Uncle, have you heard of it?"
Xiyue shook his head, "No."
Bai Zhaoyan was waiting for Tong Xu to take the Zichen Pearl off his neck, but it turned out that he didn't seem to know the name of the pearl he was wearing.
"system?"
[System: It's strange that they know the name of Purple Chen Pearl.]
No one told them.
Bai Zhaoyan: “…”
What should I do now? The things are right in front of me. Should I just grab them and run?
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
As soon as she raised her hand, Tong Xu picked her up and swam out quickly holding her like a child.
"Hey!" Bai Zhaoyan lost her strength for a moment and supported his shoulders with both hands. "What are you doing! Don't you know that intimate contact between men and women is forbidden? Put me down!"
Tong Xu didn't listen. He put his arm around her waist and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'll take you to see my father and mother. They're very knowledgeable and will definitely know."
"Don't worry, now that I've met you, I won't leave you alone."
Bai Zhaoyan's comments: kind but also a middle-aged man, ignorant of the world but also naive.
She moved her hand slightly inward and touched a round pearl, then she touched each one and stopped at the one in the middle.
"Your father and mother can't save me."
Tong Xu paused, then heard her say, "But you can."
"Me?" Tong Xu stopped completely. "How can I save him?"
"Give me your necklace." Bai Zhaoyan lowered his voice intentionally, with a hint of temptation.
Tong Xu subconsciously raised her hand and touched her pearl necklace, "This one?"
“That’s not allowed.”
Bai Zhaoyan pursed her lips and patted his shoulder, "Put me down first."
Tong Xu obediently let go, and Bai Zhaoyan took the opportunity to pull off the necklace from his neck. The pearls immediately scattered and floated in the water.
Bai Zhaoyan tightly grasped the Purple Pearl in his hand and turned to flee, "System, show me the way."
Tong Xu blinked and was stunned for two seconds before reacting. He suddenly shouted to Xiyue who was slowly coming behind him: "Uncle, Bai Zhaoyan is a bad person. She lied to me and stole my things!"
He was both angry and furious. He really wanted to do his best to help Bai Zhaoyan, a foreigner, but she actually stole his things.
That's too much.
He is not a fish that is easy to bully.
Tong Xu has been wearing the necklace since he was born. Am told him not to lose it or give it away to anyone else. It can only be given to his future wife, and then to his baby, so that it can be passed down from generation to generation.
He must not lose the necklace.
Bai Zhaoyan swam upwards at the system's signal, fumbling to raise the Purple Chen Pearl before his eyes. "This is clearly my cheat, and now they want me to steal it. I'm sure they'll hate me to death."
She was like a successful thief, sneaking around all the way.
The Tiangang is reversed.
"You can just eat it directly, right?"
[System: Host, yes. But...]
"And yet?"
[System: Hmm, Tong Xu is catching up. 3, 2, 1.]
The system's words sounded like a death countdown. Bai Zhaoyan panicked and subconsciously dodged.
