The flames swept out, burning the mermaid and Heishui. The mermaid still had no reaction, and Tu Ling didn't expect it to have any effect on him. Her real purpose was to see if the fire could dry up Heishui and let her down.
Tu Ling's eyes were always on her chest, and her flames were about to collide with the mermaid's black water!
However, he didn't expect that the moment the flame and black water came into contact, it didn't produce smoke, but instead merged with each other. There was water in the fire, fire in the water, and a faint white mist came out.
Then Tu Ling and Jiao Ren's expressions began to look unnatural, as if something was wrong with their bodies?
Ever since her fire and water met, she felt as if she were being caressed by water. Feeling tingling, she looked up at the mermaid and noticed that his expression wasn't right either, and he was almost completely red.
The merman felt like his body was on fire, and a certain part of his body was throbbing with pain. He knelt on the ground, his expression, which had never changed, now cracked, and his eyes were bloodshot: "What did you do to me, huh~"
Tu Ling gritted her teeth, trying not to make any strange noises. She didn't even know what she had done, but she had to pretend to have done something: "Do you think you're the only one with superpowers? I have them too. I can make you suffer this torture forever, unless you let me go."
The merman exhaled a breath of hot air and lay on the ground resignedly: "You actually betrayed the mermaid clan. You even dared to attack me. Why?" He didn't understand. The mermaids had done such a thing to them, but the mermaid descendants would actually betray them and join the mermaids.
Tu Ling: "It was you who tied me up first."
"That's the punishment for you getting close to the mermaids!" The mermaid's eyes became more and more blurred, and his head felt dizzy.
Tu Ling sarcastically said, "I have no grudge against the mermaids. No matter how close I am to them, you have no right to say anything. Besides, Lance told me that you mermaids have been abusing and killing mermaids for years, otherwise you wouldn't be hunted by them."
"I tortured and killed them?" The merman laughed self-deprecatingly: "Is that what they told you?"
The merman laughed miserably a few times: "Where on earth did you grow up, merman? You don't even know the hatred between mermaids and merpeople, but you believe their lies."
"So what is the truth?" In fact, Tu Ling has always felt that the mermaids are a little strange, such as the queen's abnormal attitude towards mermaids, the pearl that can turn people into mermaids when eaten, and her inexplicable sympathy for this mermaid. But she is not from the sea, and she knows nothing about their past.
The merman closed his eyes in pain and didn't want to say more: "Forget it, I won't tell you. I don't want another merman like me. It's good for me not to know anything. Now there are only you and me left in the merman tribe. Let's stay here together and depend on each other."
"What do you mean? Why should I guard this hole with you?" Tu Ling gritted her teeth, refusing to let her go, nor to tell her the truth. Besides, what's the point of guarding this hole?
The mermaid didn't say anything, but just groaned in silence as she was tortured by Tu Ling's flames. Tu Ling was also in great pain. It seemed that the mermaid was determined to lock her up. Even though it was so painful, he still refused to take back the black water. Tu Ling had no choice but to give in. She couldn't stand it anymore and took back the fire.
After the flame was retracted, the feeling on his body also disappeared. Tu Ling's legs became weak and his head leaned back weakly. However, the mermaid felt a little unsatisfied. Although the feeling just now was very painful, he had a secret sense of pleasure. He had been guarding here for a thousand years, and he was already tired of the day-to-day life. The novel feeling just now was unprecedented.
The two of them stayed in the cave in silence for the entire day.
"Gu~"
In the quiet cave, someone's stomach growled: "I'm hungry. You've locked me up here, at least I have to find something to eat."
Tu Ling leaned his head on his right arm, looking weak.
"Hold on, we'll eat tomorrow night." The mermaid was still lying on the ground in the same position as yesterday, motionless.
"Why can we only eat tomorrow night? Can't we eat tonight?" Tu Ling couldn't understand why someone would procrastinate on something like eating.
"I don't want to go tonight."
"Aren't you hungry?" Tu Ling felt like she was starving to death.
"I'm hungry, but it's okay as long as I'm alive. Don't move around. The more you move, the hungrier you'll get." After the mermaid said this, he immediately turned back into a wooden man.
Tu Ling: .....Is this the reason why you lay motionless for a whole day and night!
At night, Tu Ling was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. She could only talk to the mermaid to try to distract her attention: "Don't you have a name?"
"My name is Wang." The mermaid said with his eyes closed.
Tu Ling shook her head: "No, that's not your name. How about I give you a new one? How about Lazy Bug?"
"I'm a shark, not a bug."
"So what do you mean by lazy sleep?"
The mermaid thought for a while and said, "Well, it's up to you." From then on, he was called Lazy Sleeper.
Tu Ling chuckled: "Sleep in, sleep in, hahahaha, little lazy sleep."
The merman noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Who is lazy and who is sleeping?"
Tu Ling straightened her expression. "Oh, it's the 'Lan' of waves, the 'Jiao' of the mermaid." She continued, "The meaning of this name comes from a poem: 'The waves flutter their scales to avoid the rainbow flags, the mermaid's tears become pearls, reflecting the bright sunlight.'"
"Lan Jiao."
Lan Jiao repeated his name: "What does it mean?"
"It means that the mermaids and the sea can live together naturally and peacefully." Of course, this was said by Tu Ling.
"Lan Jiao opened her long eyelashes and looked at the low stone wall in confusion. With his fate, how could he possibly live in peace and harmony? He only wanted to fight to the death, and the fight would never end.
"I'm going to find something to eat."
"Didn't you say you'd eat it tonight?"
Lan Jiao was already in a state of hesitation. After hearing what Tu Ling said, he immediately came back to his senses: "Then let's eat tomorrow night. We won't starve to death."
"No, don't worry!" Tu Ling almost wanted to slap herself: "If you don't go, I'm really going to starve to death."
But Lan Jiao had already laid down, he didn't want to waste any energy.
On the second night, Tu Ling was already feeling dizzy from hunger, and Lan Jiao finally went out to look for food.
"That's great..." Tu Ling was thankful. If he had delayed any longer, she would have starved to death.
Lan Jiao hunts very quickly. Tu Ling looked at his palm expectantly. It seemed that there were two fish of unknown species, and they were quite large in size.
Lan Jiao waved his hand and threw one of the fish out, and Heishui immediately caught it and put it to Tu Ling's mouth.
A question mark crossed Tu Ling's mind. Just eat it raw like that? She looked at Lan Jiao, who had already started eating. Seeing the flying scales, the drifting blood, and even the internal organs being eaten by Lan Jiao, she felt nauseous just by looking at it. She moved closer to the fish in front of her and smelled it. Ugh, it was indeed fishy.
