Chapter 150: The Secret Between Huaijun and His Wife
With just one sentence, Ling Rui successfully focused everyone's attention on the extra necklace around Sheng Ran's neck.
Huai Jun didn't intend to hide it from them, and took the initiative to say: "My wife and I... held a marriage ceremony in the deep sea. It's an agreement between the two of us. We will officially register it when we get to the central city."
When he spoke, every word was filled with happiness, which made the beastly husbands jealous.
Huaijun then added, "This pearl necklace is our engagement gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Pei Xiaoxing's expression was a little complicated, but he still pretended to be calm: "That's good. It's a good thing that you have such a thought."
The pearls used in this necklace are of lustrous color, reflecting fine light in the sunlight, like a gentle glow, and it is obvious at first glance that they are of great value.
Considering Huaijun's identity as a mermaid, everyone can naturally guess where the pearls came from.
It is said that male beasts do not shed tears easily, but Huaijun can turn pearls into gifts for his wife after crying twice, which makes the beast husbands feel a little unbalanced.
Especially Ling Rui, who became even more jealous when he saw the smile in his wife's eyes and eyebrows.
Ravens have wings and can soar in the sky; although Zhu Jiuyin has no wings, he can still fly with his wife; Huai Jun has beautiful scales and tears; even Pei Xiaoxing's fur is softer and longer than his!
Ling Rui was almost regretting it to death.
Why is he just a lion with a simple mind and strong limbs?
And he grew up among cats, which is not cool at all!
Compared with these beastly husbands, he has no advantage at all, it is not fair at all.
How can I grab my wife's attention?
While he was still sulking, Zhu Jiuyin had already rushed over and hugged Sheng Ran's arm.
"Wife, I see you took so long to go to hold the marriage ceremony. I waited for you for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Looking at the necklace, he felt a little dissatisfied: "Wife, when we return to the end of the chapter, I will take you to pick frost flowers and snowdrops, which are more beautiful than pearls!"
Pei Xiaoxing's gaze fell on Huai Jun's chest - the scales there were not smooth and there were obvious signs of looseness.
That is the heart-protecting scale of the mermaid clan. It has always been well protected and there is no possibility of it being touched by anyone.
How could it suddenly become loose?
Looking closely, although it was covered with a faint green light, the traces of the wound could still be seen.
He frowned and stepped forward: "Did your heart-protecting scale move today?"
Huai Jun was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to see it, and nodded: "The rules of the deep sea, the promise to the wife, must use the heart-protecting scales and heart blood."
After these words were spoken, the beastly husbands around were even more shocked.
I thought this string of pearls was made of Huaijun's tears, but I didn't expect it also contained his blood.
"Do you... know what you're doing?" Pei Xiaoxing looked at him with a complicated expression, his voice deeper. "The heart-protecting scales are a life-saving device for mermaids. How dangerous is it to take them off?"
Yun Ling also came over. Although she didn't say anything, she reached out and touched Huai Jun's chest, the temperature of her fingertips a little tentative.
He looked at the missing scale, frowning deeply. "Don't try to show off your bravery in the future. If you die in danger without the heart-protecting scale, who will protect you?"
Knowing Yun Ling's sharp tongue, Huai Jun still cared about him, so he gently waved his hand, "It's okay."
Sheng Ran pulled Pei Xiaoxing's hand, patted Yun Ling's arm, and waved her hand, signaling them to stop talking.
Seeing her actions, everyone realized something was wrong.
"Wife..." Pei Xiaoxing had a bad guess in his mind. He asked nervously, "Why haven't you spoken yet?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Sheng Ran, full of worry.
Huai Jun's tone was tinged with self-blame, "On the way back, we accidentally entered the misty forest. My wife was frightened and temporarily unable to speak."
Although Huaijun was given many instructions before setting off, he never expected that something would go wrong on the way.
"It was my negligence this time. I didn't take good care of my wife." Huai Jun lowered his head, looking as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded.
"You--!" Ling Rui was so angry when he heard the news.
He looked at Huaijun angrily, obviously dissatisfied, but he couldn't say a harsh word.
Sheng Ran used her thin body to block Huai Jun from being blamed.
Her bright and clear eyes seemed to be able to speak. She looked around anxiously at the beastly husbands around her, wanting to explain a few words.
In the end, he just placed his hand on Huaijun's Adam's apple and gently stroked it twice with his fingertips.
Huai Jun couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly grabbed his wife's hand to stop her unconscious teasing behavior, then cleared his throat and said.
"However, in a critical moment, I suddenly awakened my second superpower, which is the power of sound. From now on, on land, I will be able to protect my wife and will not let this happen again."
After saying that, he even demonstrated it by softly reciting a few syllables towards a stone by the river.
Light blue sound waves surged out instantly, and the stone cracked with a "crack".
"Wow! Your sound ability is amazing!" Zhu Jiuyin's eyes widened in amazement. "In all my years, this is the first time I've seen an orc with sound abilities!"
Ling Rui was also stunned and couldn't help but admire: "I thought you were only powerful in the water, but I didn't expect you to be so strong on land!"
No wonder Ling Rui always felt a strange and powerful energy when the two came back.
It turned out to be Huaijun’s second superpower that had just awakened.
Pei Xiaoxing nodded: "With the sound ability, we will have an extra layer of protection when dealing with danger in the future."
Yun Ling stood aside in silence, but was actually still angry at Huai Jun for not protecting his master.
But when he saw Sheng Ran's smiling eyes and the look of happiness for Huai Jun, he just pursed his lips.
"It can be considered a blessing in disguise." He reluctantly offered a congratulatory greeting, then added a more serious tone, "What about the master's voice? It finally recovered, and now it's in this state again."
Huai Jun quickly took off the pottery jar on his body: "This is the spiritual spring water we found from the deep sea. My wife and I specially collected a jar to take with us on the road."
"It can restore life to my wife who was nearly withered, and it will probably heal my master's throat as well."
When you open the lid of the pottery jar, you can indeed feel abundant spiritual power being released from it.
Everyone felt relieved. Ling Rui urged anxiously, "What are you waiting for? Let your wife take it."
As soon as she mentioned drinking the spiritual spring, Sheng Ran suddenly covered her lips, leaving only a pair of clear eyes blinking as she looked over.
Huai Jun couldn't help but chuckle a few times, paused meaningfully for a moment, then looked at Sheng Ran and said, "It seems that my wife doesn't want to drink for the time being, so don't embarrass her."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Jiuyin felt that there was a little secret between the two of them. What was there that he hadn't told them?
Huai Jun shook his head, keeping it a secret: "Just drink it, the effect is better than nothing."
"I have to use my water ability."
Pei Xiaoxing was also aroused by his curiosity and asked impatiently: "How can I borrow your help?"
Huaijun looked around at the people around him, the curve of his mouth was a little hard to suppress, still keeping the secret——
"It's better for everyone not to know."
