Chapter 45 Performers (12) Jinjiang exclusive authorized first release,...
At the same time, live broadcast room.
"What a joyful scene this is. It smells so good and sizzles so well... Let's fight, let's fight..." This is a fun person.
"I'm really looking forward to what Annie will say——"
"I always feel like she can just kiss everyone and that's it. Aren't mermaids supposed to not marry each other? Why is she so attracted to mermaids? Oh, and the Fuji tribe that produces and sells their own products?"
“Ahhh, you guys should go and watch the paid video that Angel sent. It’s so astringent and I can’t stand it anymore. I’m really turned on.”
"Succubus, huh... totally..."
The angel went against Ling Xiao's expectations.
He, a contestant with average popularity and generally dull performance, has seen an unprecedented increase in discussion due to his kissing video with Annie. The video that was cut off from the live broadcast appeared on Starnet in another form, making people hate Tianqiong Technology for making money excessively, but at the same time they obediently paid money.
It seems to be a professional counterpart of Angel. This video only contains flirting and kissing, but it surpasses countless eye-catching content with large scale. The director's camerawork is extremely skillful, with entangled vines, embracing bodies, intertwined fingers, and her passionate inquiries that are half forced, half inducement.
Ling Xiao is not the only one who is mesmerized.
There are also countless audiences who are attracted by her scent and bewitched by her voice.
“Please, both of you, please go to the adult industry!” This was the comment with the most likes on the video. It was clearly a slice of a hunting game, but it topped the list in the adult area, with a shining hot search hanging on the page. The related search was actually——
Can humans and vine tribes have children?
It's really strange. If this kind of hot search was directed at the powerful and xenophobic mermaids or Zerg, they would definitely be furious. But the target is the Vine Tribe - a nomadic race that has been almost wiped out and even its home planet has disappeared. All that is left is surprise and expectation.
The angel sent the two of them a signing invitation to the adult area in a businesslike manner. It was not uncommon for hunters to give up their careers in the past, but once they went into the sea, they could never return to the shore. Killing and lust are interdependent and are not uncommon.
When Annie's communicator is back online, she will naturally receive the invitation.
But he hesitated for half a second before clicking send.
In the half second of data flow, the angel's processor calculated the scene that made her famous, calculated her ability to cooperate with many races in filming, and calculated the sensory stimulation and value of her trampling on non-intermarriage races...
The numbers representing money in his eyes kept increasing, while on the other side, he saw her whispering sweet nothings with that innocent and lovely face, calculating the subtle tremors of her vocal cords, and the warmth and fragrance of her voice.
It was just half a second of delay and thinking. The angel was handling a lot of tasks at the same time, and this was just an insignificant moment in his endless tasks.
He clicked send and continued to monitor the live broadcast.
-
Those violet eyes looked at her, without any hatred or disappointment, nor did they reveal any touching hurt. After his fleeting feeling of grievance, all that remained was a clear and peaceful state of mind.
It was so quiet and peaceful, like being out of the loop.
The two of them had been entangled so deeply, and his vine was still softly wrapped around her ankles. But Ling Xiao had already made plans for the worst and was ready to face sudden changes at any time.
The only lifelong partner of the Fuji clan is themselves. The more he entangled and climbed, the more he embraced and kissed, and allowed himself to be caressed, the more he understood the deep loneliness. It was like the roots of vines digging into the body of trees and dodder devouring each other's nutrients. Although they snuggled up to each other, they were still rivals in survival.
She who is kissing and hugging me at this moment will also become my enemy for others at some point.
A Ni looked down at Ling Xiao, but responded with Liu's words: "Are you worthy enough to be compared with the teacher?"
Those who questioned the injustice were sentenced to death.
But she didn't mind being more cruel, and said in a light tone: "I told you, you are just yourself, why do you always want to compare with him? You are used to getting praise and satisfying yourself in this kind of comparison, right? You have enjoyed too much happiness from comparison, and your value is realized step by step by belittling him. The honor and reputation that Lin doesn't care about at all are the demons in your heart that you can't let go of."
"I didn't! I..."
"You have." Ani interrupted him coldly. She didn't turn around to look at Liu's expression. Instead, she curled her lips and chuckled, "Fighting for his things, the love of the elders, the praise of the outside world, the title of heir, this is almost becoming the inertia of your survival. Now, you are falling all the way down along this inertia, and you regard my care as something you need to fight for on the way down."
Liu approached from a distance. His breath was unstable, his emotions fluctuated wildly, and he was almost out of control: "Even if I have it, even if you said it, so what! Shouldn't I fight for it? Shouldn't I get it? The law of survival in this world is to fight. You are a hunter, don't you understand?"
Ani was silent, and his will collapsed in this indifference. The corners of Liu's eyes were red, and his sharp nails pierced into his palms, with blood flowing to the base of his fingers: "You are still ignoring me. Why do you refuse to look at me every time, why can't you speak to me properly every time? ... Who were you thinking of when you took care of me, who were you thinking of when you let me rest by your side, and who was it because of you when you rescued me from the monster's belly?! Why do you give me charity out of pity for him?"
Ani asked: "Do you think that I would look at you more if Lin wasn't around?"
Liu paused, frozen in place as if the pause button had been pressed.
Under Ani's gaze, Ling Xiao, who was listening silently, had a slight ripple in his calm heart when he heard these words. His crisis alarm sounded, and he wanted to turn into a vine and slip away from the gap - but before he could move, Ani suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled Ling Xiao's body out of the narrow space blocked by debris and cages.
He was picked up and carried. Annie held his waist with one hand and grabbed his collar with the other, pressing him between the wall and her arm. Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly trembled, and her breath surged like a wave, approaching her ears in an instant, with hot breath and soft words.
She asked, "Where are you hiding? Brother Ling Xiao."
He was pinned against the wall and couldn't move. The tangled vines actually climbed upwards to please her. Ling Xiao was exposed to the sight of another man, and the tense atmosphere affected him, making him part of the storm.
His breathing was a little disordered, and he deviated from the angle to hide himself with Annie's body. Ling Xiao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he whispered: "I shouldn't be allowed to get involved here, Miss Annie."
"Ms. Annie..." she repeated, smiling, with a hint of sharpness, "What is our relationship? Companions, right? You have to face difficulties with me."
"us……"
"Or what you mean, Miss Ani." She imitated the other's serious and prudish voice, "We are lip friendship, pure kissing friendship. We are pure great friendship, which is really admirable."
Ling Xiao moved his lower lip, but swallowed what he was about to say. He had already felt the hostile, burning gaze of the merman, and Liu Hao recognized him immediately: "Teng Clan. Ling Xiao..."
Liu's experience is not deep, but he is the child of a noble merman. The Blue Dragon family, the Blue Sea Star, the brave and ferocious mermaids, every word made Ling Xiao feel difficult. He raised his hand to cover Ani's fingers that were clutching her collar, trying to make the scene less tense.
"It's me," he said, touching Ani's knuckles and making a small, flattering gesture. She stared at his hand for two seconds, then let go. Ling Xiao leaned against the wall to regain his balance, but Ani's breath was still around him, in all directions, with no escape.
Ling Xiao said with a stiff upper lip: "I can explain this matter. I have reached a cooperation with Miss Annie. She..."
"Enough!" Liu didn't want to listen. "This is the pure and innocent Teng Clan who only loves themselves. Do you have any shame? You are not a member of the 'Crown', but you can appear here unscathed and let your opponent protect you. She just... was looking at you?!"
Ling Xiao: “…”
He raised his eyes and saw Ani's light pink eyes. There was a slight curve on her lips, as if to say "Don't run away".
Escaping and protecting himself is Ling Xiao's survival instinct. He has no experience with this kind of weird conflict. Ling Xiao took a breath, avoided Ani's sight, and wanted to explain to Liu: "Calm down, I'm not the imaginary enemy you hate so much, nor am I your brother..."
This sentence angered the mermaid even more. Liu was young and full of energy. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "You were hiding down there and listening? What were you doing down there just now?"
Ani suddenly laughed. She leaned her head on Ling Xiao's shoulder, chuckled, and said viciously, "What are you doing down there? Brother Ling Xiao, are you going to tell him, tell the audience?"
Ling Xiao was speechless for a moment.
I swear to God, he did nothing. He was as quiet as moss in a crack. She is such a bad girl that she would tease even passing ants.
His silence was tantamount to tacit agreement, and Liu began to over-speculate about that empty picture. He couldn't contain his inner rage, and rushed over without any reason to destroy this "enemy" who shouldn't be here.
The sharp nails of the mermaid broke through the wind. Ling Xiao was imprisoned by Annie, unable to struggle. He could only subconsciously bury himself in her arms.
The expected slap did not fall.
After a few breaths, Ling Xiao raised his eyes and saw Ani grabbing Liu's wrist. The muscles in his arms tensed again, and his bones trembled tightly.
"You..." Liu looked at her, "We are the partners who are supposed to complete the performance tomorrow. You protect him and stop me?"
Ani gently let go of her hand and said, "If I were you, I would just pretend nothing happened and go back to prepare for the performance."
"Is what happened today so insignificant that we can just ignore it?" Liu was confused. "You treat him as a companion, a comrade-in-arms with him, and protect him. But what about me? What about the long training and day-and-night running-in we went through? What does that count for?"
"You're lucky." Ani said expressionlessly, "You met me. It's because of me that we were able to successfully complete the performance and spend the days and nights working together. Even if it was someone else, not you, partnering with me would still complete the performance and achieve excellent results."
She paused and said, "It's because I'm so good. I have the ability to take over the situation."
Liu's pupils trembled and he stared at her blankly. While he was stunned, Ling Xiao finally found an opportunity to escape. His body quickly turned into a vine and drilled out.
The green vines spread and rolled to the other side. Liu suddenly came to his senses and vented all his hatred on this inexplicably appearing vine clan. He chased after them for no reason and caught the vines. The mermaid caught up with Ling Xiao with full attack power, blocking his way out, forcing Ling Xiao back into human form and wrestling with him.
Ani did not stop him immediately, she wanted to see Ling Xiao's expression as he asked for help.
That quiet, aloof look, almost as if ready to draw a line at any time, did not suit him at all.
This cunning vine took the initiative to offer kisses and entanglement, assessing the situation and remaining very calm. Ani knew that he only believed in himself, and that was his nature, but she didn't like it, she wanted Ling Xiao's dependence.
I am your tree. Where else can you escape to except by my side?
Countless green vines swept down the debris in chaos, and the warehouse floor became a mess due to the fight between the two men. Liu was so angry that he really wanted to kill him. Ling Xiao is not good at head-on combat, he keeps dodging and retreating.
The huge metal cage that imprisoned the monster was making a constant noise as it was bumped against. Ling Xiao hid between several huge cages that were stacked one on top of the other, trying to get out from the gap, but Liu grabbed his shoulders and blocked him in front of him again. He had no time to dodge and was hit in the face by the mermaid's fist. His body crashed backwards into the cage, and the vines supported him and hung on the railing.
Ling Xiao raised his head and saw the hunter in front of him, murderous and furious. He took a mouthful of blood, swallowed it, and looked through Liu's shoulder at Ani.
Annie rested her chin on her hand, staring at him silently and intently.
Ling Xiao suddenly became flustered. He didn't know why he looked at her, as if she was responsible for him. But in reality, according to her logic, the two of them haven't really "known" each other.
The surging desire to kill overwhelmed everything. He drew the lightsaber from his waist, pressed the button, and raised his arm to swung it. Ling Xiao just turned his head to avoid it, and a thin vine was cut by the sword.
Cold sweat broke out on Ling Xiao's back, and he looked behind the other person again. She was watching him, her fingertips tapping lightly on the metal handle of the whip.
Amid the rush and confusion, he suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness.
The temperature on M359 is constant at 25 degrees Celsius; it is a place without autumn.
The flowers are not pollinated and no fruits are born.
The lightsaber was pulled out from the broken vine and swung across to cut his throat. Ling Xiao resisted and escaped, and the sword made a sizzling sound as it cut through the cage. The vines quickly bypassed the lightsaber, turned a corner and climbed upwards, and the stacked cages were tottering in this irrational fight.
Before Ling Xiao reached the highest point, the huge cage he was climbing on was completely shaken and suspended in the air. He fell down four or five meters above the ground.
The height was not too high for him, but he forgot that he had broken a vine tail, and the action of wrapping around the railing was like grabbing at nothing, so he lost his balance and fell down.
Boom!
The tallest cage in the warehouse collapsed, and as a result, many boxes of sundries and equipment also slid down and rolled like a snowy avalanche. Amid the sudden noise, Ling Xiao's mind went blank.
Countless things of different sizes rolled down behind him, and each heavy object was enough to crush him.
However, he fell into the embrace of a faint fragrance.
Ani caught him.
Just like when he fell into the factory, he was caught again, supported by her arms against the stems and leaves that were too weak to climb. Ling Xiao leaned on her shoulder and suddenly closed his eyes, ready to endure the pain of being hit by the collapsed objects.
But no. He turned around and his arms covered with biological armor blocked his back, wedging between the heavy cage and his back, creating a safe zone.
The stream chasing him was crushed under some unknown piece of debris. Ling Xiao came back to his senses, his mind was still blank. A Ni held his face in her hands: "Brother Ling Xiao..."
These four words seemed to flip a switch.
Ling Xiao looked at her suddenly, and before Ani could say anything, he suddenly, without any warning, started to shed tears clearly, one by one, as if they had broken off the string.
Cry, cry, cry…crying? ! Ani was stunned for a moment: "You...you, I, I...wait a minute, are you really crying?"
Ling Xiao turned his head away, took a breath, and wiped away his tears.
Annie was a little flustered. She hugged his waist while supporting the falling cage and the monster inside. She didn't know which one to pull out. She tilted her head and stared at the other person. Ling Xiao just wiped his tears, his Adam's apple rolling, without saying a word.
"I'm just kidding." Ani leaned closer to him, "I'm watching you."
She won't let Ling Xiao die.
Ling Xiao regained his calm expression and just looked at her, but his tears fell even more violently. Ani pressed her forehead against his and said, "Why don't you come over here? You're running away from me."
His lips trembled slightly and asked, "Will you protect me?"
Ani nodded.
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, and crystal tears fell clearly from his lavender eyes. He said, "You are not a tree."
Clang. Ani took a step back and threw the supported cage down. She freed her hands to hold Ling Xiao's back, pressed down his lips that were hiding his sobs, and kissed him lightly.
The vague and suppressed sob sound came from his throat and reached the tip of her tongue. Ani felt him coming around again, so she separated him slightly and asked, "Why does it have to be a tree?"
"…Because," he answered, looking at her, "it won't move."
"Ah?" Annie was stunned.
"I won't run away." Ling Xiao said, "I won't talk, I won't think I'm boring, and I won't abandon me."
Finally, he said, "It's not like you... suddenly decided to start bullying me."
Ani swallowed her saliva and wanted to say something. After thinking for a long time, she just said dryly, "I'm sorry."
Her reaction also stunned Ling Xiao. He was suddenly choked by something and started coughing with his head down. Ani stroked his back and his cough became weaker. He wrapped himself tighter without realizing it. The injured vine was dripping with bitter and astringent juice. The broken vine would grow out later, but Ling Xiao brought it closer and looked at her with red eyes.
Ani touched the vine and said, "I have a way to cure it."
"Kiss it," he said.
Annie didn't react, and the hand holding the broken vine felt slightly hot because of the strange atmosphere.
Ling Xiao said: "Then I will forgive you."
He had stopped crying and just stared at her expression motionlessly. When he said this, his ears felt like they were burning, but Ling Xiao looked so calm and composed, as if he was saying "The weather is very good today."
Ani just lifted the broken wound of the vine, she didn't mind kissing it, but when her lips got close, she suddenly felt something was wrong: "Hey, but a tree can't kiss you, right?"
Ling Xiao: “…”
Ani said: "Your needs cannot be met if you don't move."
The cunning Fuji felt hot all over, he couldn't stand being stared at by her like that, so he sealed her lips, cutting the questioning voice into a kiss.
The barrage was shocked when they saw this.
"Does anyone care about the life and death of the mermaids..." ip Hailanxing.
"What are you all thinking about? Why are so many people silent?"
"Contestant Ling Xiao wasn't like this before... I remember that he had typical characteristics of the Vine Clan. He only loved himself, was aloof and isolated, couldn't get along with anyone, and hated physical contact. He participated in missions like he was punching in for work."
"…Is what you said the same as what I saw…?"
"I feel like everything has changed since I met Nini baby. Oh my god, Annie is too honest. She said she would date after it was over and she really waited until it was over. I want to see you guys go in the sea now!"
"Wow, me too. I've watched that video many times. Can't you post something that paying users should watch? I'd be willing to carry a camera next to you."
At this moment, the director's perspective suddenly zoomed in, catching the live broadcast room off guard and seeing Annie's sparkling lips kissed by Ling Xiao, the details, the sound, the interlaced breathing, her fluttering eyelashes, and the faint marks on her lips. She held the broken vine and licked the slightly bitter juice on it.
Ling Xiao, who was leaning against her, trembled and went limp in her arms.
