"It's our Xiaoxi. Come, let father see you. Wow, Xiaoxi seems to have grown taller." Wang rubbed his face against Lanxi's face, feeling indescribably satisfied.
But there were some tiny scales on his face, which scratched Lan Xi a little painfully. However, for the sake of what would happen later, he did not say anything. Instead, he rubbed it and said, "Father Wang, Xixi misses you so much."
The king was somewhat touched, thinking that cubs were indeed the cutest: "Father wants to take a rest too."
After playing for a while, the big and the small one suddenly started crying.
Wang quickly asked her what was wrong.
"My prince showed me his mermaid pearl today. It's so beautiful, like a glowing pearl, but I don't have one. I also want a mermaid pearl." Mermaids are beautiful in appearance, and their little cubs are even more irresistible.
But Lan Xi is a mermaid, how can she have a mermaid pearl? Unless she forms a partner with a mermaid, she can share the mermaid pearl with her partner. In fact, the mermaid pearl he has now is shared with Lan Ji, but Lan Ji didn't ask for it, so he didn't mention it.
Wang gently wiped Lan Xi's tears, only to discover they had already condensed into pearls. Was this a mermaid's gift? Seeing the beautiful pearls in his palm, this was his first time seeing them, and he couldn't help but sigh, mermaids are truly beautiful and wondrous creatures. "Xiao Xi, you want mermaid pearls? When you grow up, I'll find you a mermaid mate, and then you'll have mermaid pearls."
Lan Xi puffed up her cheeks like an angry little pufferfish: "No, I want it now. Father, can you let me play with yours? I'll give it back to you after I'm done." After saying that, she coquettishly hugged Wang's arm.
"Please, Father Wang~."
Wang originally wanted to tell him that the mermaid’s mermaid pearls cannot be taken out and played with casually, but when he saw Lan Xi’s cute appearance, he no longer cared about that. It was just a cub, so what would be wrong with letting her play with it?
"Okay~," Wang caressed Lan Xi's soft head lovingly and took out the mermaid pearl from her body. "Here, it's for you. Now you have a mermaid pearl too."
Lan Xi snatched the mermaid pearl and looked at its dazzling light. Sure enough, her mother had not lied to her! She pretended to be careless and walked away from Wang Yuan. At this time, Lan Ji came in.
She looked tired and her eyes were full of resentment: "Wang, do you want to stay like this with me forever?"
Wang was stunned by what she said. What happened to them?
Lan Ji continued to move closer to the king, then leaned into the king's arms like a little bird, with her hand on the king's chest.
The king's scales were newly grown and very tender. When she touched him like this, his whole body became soft.
Seeing Lan Ji take the initiative to reconcile with him, he was relieved. The status of females is noble. If Lan Lan likes him to call her female master, then he will call her that: "Female... uh——"
Wang painfully pushed Lan Ji away from his arms, and looked down at his chest in disbelief. There was a sharp stone stuck in the place where Lan Ji had just touched.
The stone was polished to a smooth and shiny surface, and it was obvious that it was carefully prepared for him.
The wound that could have healed itself was still bleeding because of the loss of the Mermaid Pearl. Considering Lan Xi's behavior today, he felt it was a bit ridiculous. He looked at Lan Xi who was holding the Mermaid Pearl in his arms in fear, and begged: "Xiao Xi, can you return the Mermaid Pearl to father?" Even if Lan Ji treated him like this, Lan Xi would definitely not do so. But when he saw Lan Xi subconsciously take a step back, the last hope was extinguished.
A group of mermaids rushed in, all holding weapons in their hands. The nails of the mermaids who didn't hold weapons had become very long and sharp. Seeing the king lying in a pool of blood, they rushed up and frantically tore every part of the king apart.
The mermaids outside discovered that something was wrong with the mermaids and rushed in. However, before they could see what was going on, they were hit on the head by the mermaids, pressed to the ground, and the mermaid pearls in their stomachs were forcibly dug out. Various intestines and livers were thrown into the air, and the blood dyed the entire cave red.
The mermaids rushed out again with bloodshot eyes, and before the mermaids could react, they brutally killed them. Then they reached into their abdomens with their bare hands, grabbed the most precious things of each mermaid and threw them into the air, and finally sank them to the bottom of the sea.
The usually peaceful cave is now staging a horrific massacre. The beautiful mermaid's face is hideous, and glowing shark beads are piled up at the bottom of the cave. The gloomy cave becomes brighter, and the light shines through the blood, blooming into transparent red flowers.
Outside the cave.
"Prince, that's about it." The mermaid looked around warily. Mermaids have limited vision during the day. Although they are naturally close to marine life, they cannot guarantee that they are safe in the daytime environment.
The prince looked at the misty sea gem in front of him and could only judge its position by the light spots on the edge of the sea gem. The flowers were not given away last time, it must be because the sea gem he picked at night was not beautiful anymore, so this time he came to pick it during the day.
At this moment, a blood-soaked merman swam over with his last bit of strength and fell beside the reef. He couldn't see, but he could feel the prince's presence nearby and shouted, "Prince, run!"
The cry was so sharp and miserable that the young prince was startled and all the sea gems in his hands fell to the ground. The patrolling mermaid found him by the source of the sound.
"What's wrong with you?" The mermaids trembled in panic as they touched the blood of their tribesmen.
"Where's the prince?"
The prince swam over quickly and asked: "What happened!"
The mermaid did not speak, but took out the mermaid pearl from her body and crushed it. The mermaid pearl turned into starlight and flowed into the minds of several mermaids.
This is the unique function of the mermaid pearls of the mermaid clan. After being crushed, one can provide one's own memories to others.
The scenes in the palace appeared before his eyes. When all the memories came back to him, the mermaid said "Run" and then died.
Veins bulged on the foreheads of several people, and their mermaid ears trembled violently. That was a manifestation of the mermaids' extreme anger and grief. If the prince was not still here, they would definitely go back for revenge, even if they would die there.
But looking at the young prince, several people painfully picked up the prince and the merman's body, glanced in the direction of the cave, and said resolutely: "Let's go!"
The next memory is that Lan Ji has been sending people to hunt down the prince and kill all the remaining mermaids.
Fortunately, the mermaids hid well and raised the prince, who became the new Mermaid King. They also had a certain ability to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would not have been almost extinct a hundred years ago.
Tu Ling couldn't describe her feelings. She had long guessed the grudge between the mermaids and the merpeople, but she didn't expect the truth to be so tragic.
The mermaids felt even more upset at this time. The education they received since childhood was completely contrary to what their ancestors did.
Their ancestors were selfish, greedy, cruel and vicious.
They even saw in their memories their father and mother biting off the mermaid's tail with ferocious faces, and they looked completely different from the familiar people in their memories.
Lan Jiao raised his hand and focused his eyes. The scene in front of him changed and they were back in the cave.
