"Well, you are so nice to me."
Lan Ji responded sweetly and left Wang's arms. Wang clenched his hands and only felt sea water. He felt a little sorry because he hadn't hugged her enough.
"Come in."
As she spoke, a group of colorful mermaids came in, holding hands. The mermaids' tails, which should have been as radiant as Lan Ji's, were now covered with scars, and the scales were bald in some places.
An elderly fish with gray hair, but still with a few strands of blonde hair visible, asked tremblingly, "Lan Ji, where are you?"
The mermaid was now blind and terrified.
Lan Ji quickly held the old mermaid and said, "Don't worry, mother, you'll be able to see it soon."
She looked at the king hopefully, and the king understood and spit out the mermaid pearl, giving them the ability to see.
The mermaid gradually began to see the scene clearly. When she saw the king with sharp fins, she was startled and shouted, "Monster!"
The scene instantly became chaotic. The mermaids had suffered so much in the seabed over the years that the slightest abnormality could make them panic.
Lan Ji quickly tried to calm them down, and it took a long time for them to calm down: "He's not a monster! He's in my camp."
Hearing that this monster was from Lan Ji's camp, he felt relieved. No matter how powerful he was, since he was Lan Ji's man, he couldn't cause any trouble.
Lan Ji breathed a sigh of relief and went to check on her tribesmen. When she saw that they could only see with their eyes but the wounds on their bodies had not disappeared, her face looked a little grim.
"Why didn't you heal their injuries as well?" She was able to heal fatal injuries before, let alone such superficial injuries. This mermaid was too inconsiderate.
The king, who had given everyone the ability to see, looked a little pale, and was stunned when he heard Lan Ji's almost questioning tone.
The atmosphere froze for two seconds before Lan Ji realized that the king's expression was not right. She quickly explained: "No, I'm not blaming you. You must have been careless and neglected it. You didn't deliberately not treat my people, right?"
The mermaid next to him couldn't stand it any longer. He didn't understand why the king didn't tell the queen about the dangers of using the mermaid pearl. If the queen knew, she would definitely not let the king be embarrassed like this again: "Queen, the king's mermaid pearl cannot be used so casually!"
Lan Ji was a little unhappy. She could show weakness to the king, but she was a female after all. When did it become the turn of an ordinary mermaid to say irresponsible things? She swam directly to the mermaid and slapped him hard: "How can you treat my people so casually!"
The merman just tilted his face to the side after being hit. The female's strength was insignificant to them, and he was just a little dazed.
Although the mermaids worship the strongest mermaid as their king, in fact they are more like family. The king has never beaten him, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the queen today.
Wang's face also looked very unhappy. If the person she hit was him, it wouldn't matter, but she couldn't hit other mermaids.
Wang saw that she was going to continue hitting him, so he held Lan Ji's wrist with a stern face and said, "That's enough!"
She felt pain in her wrist and was a little unbelievable: "You treat me like this for him?"
Wang looked helpless. He gently grasped her wrist and tried to hold her in his arms, but was pushed away: "Lanlan, no one in our mermaid tribe has the right to hit others."
Lan Ji's muscles twitched. "You mermaids? Oh, that's right! You are the same clan, what am I?"
She is a female, but she is living under someone else's roof and is treated as inferior. Why?
"Let's go!"
Lan Ji was about to take the mermaids away as she spoke. The old, weak, and sick members of the mermaids looked at the cave with nostalgia and whispered to Lan Ji, "Let's go. We're going out to drift again."
Lan Ji was not an impulsive person. She gave the mermaid a look, and the mermaid understood instantly and immediately said, "Since the king despises us, we should not cause trouble for him. Let's go."
A group of mermaids were about to leave in a grand manner, but were blocked by the twisted black water at the door.
The king's deep voice sounded behind him: "I will save you, don't leave."
"King!" the mermaids shouted worriedly.
Wang gave them a soothing look and said, "No need to say more. You can go out first."
The mermaid knew what was going to happen and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he flicked his tail and left the cave.
Lan Ji was very proud and threw herself into the king's arms, at least praising him.
Wang smiled reluctantly: "You should go out first." He didn't want Lan Ji to see his miserable appearance later.
After Lan Ji left, Wang took out the mermaid pearl, whose light had dimmed a little, and gave it to the old, weak and sick to treat them. As the light of the mermaid pearl overflowed, the shiny scales on Wang's body slowly dimmed, and then quickly fell off, revealing the fragile skin underneath.
After the treatment was completed, the mermaid looked at her intact body in surprise. The power of the mermaid pearl was truly magical. If they had the mermaid pearl, they would never have to fear the monsters in the sea again. When she looked at the throne again, the king was no longer there.
Tu Ling and the others watched the whole process, and some mermaids even cursed with contempt, even though the targets were their own people. They were taught by their parents to be kind, just, and loving since childhood, and they were disgusted by the fact that their own people from thousands of years ago could act so forcefully.
Of course, there are different opinions. Some mermaids believe that since mermaids have this ability, they should naturally try their best to do it, not to mention that they are the queen's clan.
After the king disappeared, the cave no longer had the relaxed and happy atmosphere it once had. Everyone felt a little depressed and sat lifelessly on the strange plants on the cave wall, with their four-meter-long tails hanging down naturally. Lan Ji and Lan Xi were playing on the stone bed at the bottom of the cave, and the white mermaid next to them was looking at them lovingly. Inadvertently, Lan Xi looked up and saw countless slender and terrifying tails growing out of the stone wall in the gray and misty cave, floating strangely with the water flow. He was so scared that he burst into tears immediately.
The white mermaid hugged Lan Xi in her arms with heartache, and looked at the mermaids above with disgust: "They look so disgusting." They were long and thin, like sea worms.
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play anymore, let's go back."
Looking at the three mermaids leaving together at the bottom of the sea, the female was sacred and beautiful, and the male was noble and handsome, they were really a perfect match, but the mermaids felt sorry for their king. In order to heal her people, he became like that. Their king also loved beauty, but now his appearance was ruined, and the queen couldn't keep him. It has only been a few days, and the queen has been entangled with other mermaids. The prince who has been hiding aside is also very lonely at this moment. He has always known that his mother queen doesn't like him very much, and his mother likes his sister more.
Tu Ling patted Lan Jiao's shoulder with some sympathy: "It's better not to have a mother like this."
