"Siren, you are so vicious! You actually showed us this!" The mermaid finally understood why the Siren had brought them here thousands of years ago. She wanted to attack them mentally, right?
Lan Jiao's eyebrows twitched in anger at these idiotic mermaids. Who on earth was this mental attack targeting? With a single raise of his hand, he sucked in the mermaid that screamed the loudest, snapping its neck.
Tu Ling didn't react to the fact that he had suddenly killed someone. The mermaids only then remembered that this was the territory of the mermaids, and they all looked at him warily.
Lan Jiao was not satisfied after killing one and wanted to continue killing. As soon as he raised his hand, Tu Ling threw him to the ground over his shoulder.
She had just discovered that she could actually touch him.
Lan Jiao lay on the ground, staring blankly at the azure sea above his head, unable to react.
"You hit me?"
Tu Ling looked worried: "I said, I will kill you."
"Just because of these mermaids?" Lan Jiao's eyes were red.
Tu Ling didn't want to explain: "I owed them, I protected them."
"Why are you protecting them! You!" Lan Jiao wanted to say something, but then gave up and said in a wronged tone: "Okay, wait until you see what's next, and see if you still want to protect them!"
After the ceremony, the king and Lan Ji looked very happy.
During the Sunshine Day, the two of them personally went to the shore to exchange fresh water and salt crystals with the orcs on land. The orcs on land were very grateful and sang praises of their love and deeds everywhere.
Later, the prince was born, also a pitch-black merman. He inherited his mother's appearance, and his tail fin was much softer than the queen's, making him seem unrealistically beautiful.
Tu Ling looked at the prince, then glanced at Lan Jiao beside him with a strange expression, her eyes clearly saying, "This is you."
The other mermaids, including Lance, also looked over. The tail fins of mermaids are all hard. Among the mermaids, only one mermaid has a special tail fin, and that is the Mermaid King, whom they call the Siren.
Lan Jiao's subconscious evasive look made Tu Ling more certain of her guess.
So Lan Jiao is the child of the Mermaid Queen Mother and the previous Mermaid King?
She tugged at Lance: "The Siren is your uncle?"
"What uncle?"
I forgot, the mermaids can't understand my uncle, but Lan Jiao can.
"I don't want to be a mermaid's uncle." Lan Jiao was very disgusted. Whose nephew would compete with his uncle for his wife? Humph!
The mermaids took the prince around every day. Although they couldn't see clearly during the day, they could still feel the warmth of the sun.
It would be great if they could be so happy all their lives, but everyone knows that is impossible, otherwise the mermaids would not be in the situation where they are almost wiped out today.
What happened between the mermaids and mermen thousands of years ago?
One day, the two were kissing and chatting again.
"King, actually I have people. We didn't have a fixed residence in the sea before, and were often attacked by wild beasts. Many of our people died." As she spoke, Lan Ji shed tears of grief.
Wang was heartbroken when he saw Lan Ji crying. He hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be sad. I will always be with you from now on."
Lan Ji was moved and hugged Wang's slender waist back, and put her face on Wang's chest affectionately: "You are so good to me."
She continued, "But I met my people the other day. They're still wandering outside. Can I bring them here to live?"
Wang thought for a moment and said, "Of course they can, but there's no light here, and they probably won't be used to it."
Lan Ji said in a sweet voice: "Why don't you give them your shark pearls?"
Before the king could refuse, the mermaid next to him spoke up: "How can that be! Not everyone can use the king's mermaid pearls!"
Lan Ji's eyes instantly turned cold, but she was nestled in the king's arms, unseen by anyone else. She gritted her teeth, exhaled secretly, and gently rose from the king's arms, looking apologetically at the mermaid next to her: "It's my fault. We mermaids are indeed not worthy of using the king's things. The king gave them to me because he knew I was dying. The king has been so good to me, I really shouldn't ask for anything more."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Wang with attachment: "Forget it then. Since I have chosen Wang, I have to give up something. I can't have everything good."
But it was such a cruel thing that she couldn't live with her own people. A line of tears slid down her beautiful face.
Seeing his lover in such pain, Wang imagined the scene of his people leaving him, which was indeed heartbreaking.
The king embraced Lan Ji and said, "Don't cry. Your people are naturally my people. Bring them here."
"But..." Lan Ji looked at the mermaid next to her hesitantly, obviously afraid of offending him.
The king waved his hand and sent the merman away: "It's okay, go ahead."
"Um!"
Lan Ji walked to the cave entrance and looked back with gratitude.
But after leaving the cave, there was no trace of sadness or gratitude.
The king sat on the throne made of coral and stroked his belly. A faint light flashed, which was the light of the mermaid pearl.
The mermaid pearls of the mermaid tribe have incredible energy. In the mermaid's body, they are the source of the mermaid's life. The mermaid can voluntarily take them out and give them to others to use, giving them mermaid abilities, such as seeing at night, breathing underwater, healing wounds and prolonging life.
But every time it is used, it will cause irreversible damage to the owner of the mermaid pearl. He had previously used the mermaid pearl to heal Lan Ji, and his life span had been reduced by a hundred years, and even his strength was weakened a lot.
If he gave the Lan Ji people more abilities, he didn't know how much damage his body would suffer, so later he only planned to allow them to see things, which shouldn't cause too much damage.
The merman who was sent away from the door actually never left. After Lan Ji left, he appeared at the door again: "King."
"explain."
"If you must give them abilities, why not use mermaids from other species? When you treated the queen before, if the mermaid pearls from other species had no healing effect, we would never have allowed you to use them to save the queen. Now, you just want to give the queen's people the ability to see, so let us do it."
The king simply waved his hand and said, "My queen, I will naturally give her people abilities. You are so weak, you should raise them on your own."
He wasn't being bravado. He truly believed this. As the Mermaid King, he was the strongest of the Mermaids. Due to his bloodline, he was born with a long lifespan and supreme power. Ordinary Mermaids only lived for a few hundred years, barely enough for him to save a few people. His abilities and lifespan meant he could barely live in the sun.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Ji rushed in happily, with a string of bubbles behind her, and hugged Wang tightly.
The king was so delighted by the hug that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Your tribesmen are here?"
