Inner Demons - Blue Night
And at this moment.
Beneath the cliffs of Taihang Mountains.
The illusory world of Taixu.
Bai Xiyao was lost here. After walking several times, she still returned to the starting point.
And there was no sign of Lan Ye and the others.
A shimmering lake appeared before her eyes. The water was crystal clear, and a layer of light mist, as ethereal as a veil, covered the surface of the lake.
Bai Xiyao stopped and stared at the lake. A thought came to her mind: Maybe Lan Ye and the others fell into it.
Looking at the lake in front of her, she wanted to go down and take a look.
So Bai Xiyao jumped in.
The icy cold water instantly enveloped her, and she couldn't help but shiver. The light around her grew dimmer, and only a few faint lights could be seen flickering in the water.
Sure enough, when she swam to the bottom of the lake, the scene before her shocked her.
There is a hidden world at the bottom of the lake, like a forgotten ancient world.
And there is no water at the bottom of the lake, just like the ground in the picture, it is oxygen.
To be precise, it's like a parallel world.
She walked down and looked ahead, where she saw five forks in the road.
strangeness.
Which of these five forks in the road should she take?
At this time, the system spoke.
"Master, these six forks in the road lead to the spiritual seas of Lan Ye, Shen Yuan, Mo Lin, Qiu Ze, Yin Jiu, and Chong Shen, respectively. Please make sure you don't make the wrong choice."
Hearing this, Bai Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Lan Ye and the others were here.
She took out her marriage bracelet and walked to each intersection in turn. Sure enough, except for one intersection where there was no light, the other intersections all emitted lights.
She walked towards one of them.
As she walked, she found that the intersection gradually turned into an ocean.
It seems that it should be Lan Ye’s spiritual sea.
Bai Xiyao walked in, and sure enough, as she walked, she saw a mermaid in its juvenile form crying.
This mermaid should be Lan Ye’s childhood.
She stepped forward and spoke, "Lan Ye."
The little mermaid turned to look at her, wary. "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"Of course I know. I'm your future wife. Tell me why you're crying. Maybe I can help you."
Bai Xiyao reached out and touched his head.
She seemed to be able to communicate with the blue night of that old time and space.
"Are you my future wife?"
The little mermaid Lan Ye's cute eyes suddenly became watery, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Yes. I have traveled across time and space to see you. You can call me sister." Bai Xiyao touched his head and had to say that Lan Ye was really cute when he was a child.
The little mermaid seemed to believe it a little, and her tears were aggrieved.
"My queen mother died. My father married a new queen mother. He no longer loves me."
Hearing this, Bai Xiyao was stunned.
She didn't know that Lan Ye had such a background.
At that time, she only knew that Lan Ye gave up his royal status and came to the land for her.
As for what happened to him in the mermaid tribe under the sea, she really didn't know.
This seems to be Lan Ye's spiritual sea, and his obsession is his childhood.
"It's okay, and I love you."
Bai Xiyao held him in her arms and said, "No matter what happens, you must love yourself, okay? No one in this world will love yourself more than you do."
The little mermaid nodded, as if thinking about something.
"Sister, can you take me away? I'm not happy here."
The little mermaid hung her head.
"What if I'm a bad guy? Aren't you afraid I'll eat you?"
Bai Xiyao reached out and poked his little head.
The little mermaid suddenly slipped out and looked at her.
"Didn't you say you were my future wife? Are you a bad person?"
"Of course I'm not. But someone else might be. Remember, you can't easily trust others with knowledge, right?"
The little mermaid's confused mind seemed to be a little confused.
At this time, a shrimp soldier came from a distance.
"Prince. Why are you here? The Mermaid King is looking for you."
After saying that, he took Xiao Lan Ye away.
He turned his head to look at her and spoke in a cute voice, "Sister, will you come to see me again?"
Bai Xiyao nodded, "Yes."
Soon, the scene before my eyes disappeared.
Then, we saw Lan Ye’s growth process.
Ever since the Mermaid King married a new queen and had a new child, he has neglected Lan Ye.
Although Lan Ye was still a prince in name and possessed a noble status, in reality, his status in the palace had plummeted.
The servants were no longer as respectful to him as before, and those who once flattered him now turned their attention to the new queen and her children.
Everyone agrees that the child born by the new queen will be the future heir.
Lan Ye began to vent his anger through rebellious behavior. He often got into fights and caused trouble, just to attract his father's attention and express his dissatisfaction.
However, in the eyes of the Mermaid King, all this shows that this heir is unqualified.
Bai Xiyao saw that Lan Ye, who had already grown up, started to hold a wine glass and drink alone while sitting at the entrance of the palace.
"My father really doesn't love me anymore. I've been abandoned by everyone."
He gulped down the wine, the spicy liquid running down his throat.
Until one day, the Mermaid King summoned Lan Ye to his palace.
"Lan Ye, you are not young anymore. It's time to consider your family and the kingdom."
"I have arranged a marriage for you. You will marry Prime Minister Turtle's daughter."
Lan Ye suddenly felt a surge of anger. "I don't want to! Why should I marry a woman I've never even met?"
The Mermaid King's face darkened. He slammed the armrest of his throne and shouted, "How dare you! This is for the good of the kingdom. You can't act as you please!"
Lan Ye clenched his fists tightly and retorted angrily, "You've never considered my feelings! You only have eyes for the new queen and her child. Who am I? I'm just a tool for marriage!"
The Mermaid King was so angry at Lan Ye's words that he trembled all over. He stood up and slapped Lan Ye in the face.
"Rebellious son! If you don't agree to the marriage, get out of here. I don't have a son like you!"
Lan Ye completely gave up.
"I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Lan Ye turned around and rushed out of the palace.
It felt like a thousand-year-old piece of ice was pressing on my chest, and even breathing was painful.
In a trance, he didn't even notice the giant steel ship breaking through the waves.
"Bang!"
The moment the severe pain exploded, his consciousness sank into darkness.
At that time, Bai Xiyao, who was still the original owner, happened to be playing at the beach.
The sea breeze playfully lifted the hem of her goose-yellow skirt, revealing her slender ankles. Suddenly, she stepped on something soft.
"Ah!" She screamed and jumped away, only to find a handsome man lying on the beach.
His long silver-blue hair spread on the beach, his skin was whiter than snow, his face was handsome, and he looked extremely good.
It was the first time that Bai Xiyao had seen such a handsome man. She squatted down and sniffed his breath.
"Still alive. Probably drowned."
She stepped hard on his chest.
"Puff—" Sea water gushed out of his mouth.
After a period of regular pressing, Lan Ye suddenly started coughing violently. The moment he opened his eyes, he met a pair of clear eyes.
Lan Ye stared at the human girl in a daze.
The sunlight penetrated her black hair, making it look like it was coated with a layer of furry gold. There was still fine sand on the tip of her nose, and her eyes were curved, like a kind angel.
It’s really beautiful.
"Thank you for saving me." His voice was hoarse, "Can you... take me in?
He never wanted to go back to that dirty underwater palace.
