I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

This was the first time that such a big turmoil occurred during the departure.

The fishes that used to play with the little dumpling were now running around in panic because they were frightened.

In the turbid water area, a timid bighead carp rushed towards the little dumpling in panic and was about to hit the barrier.

At the critical moment, Xiaotuanzi removed the barrier in time, thus avoiding a bloody scene.

However, he was knocked over by the water flow caused by the bighead carp.

After rolling a few times in the seaweed, the little ball was caught steadily by a pair of big hands.

He tilted his head back curiously and looked at the owner of the hand, what he saw was an almost transparent figure.

Blinking his eyes uncertainly, the little dumpling came to his senses and suddenly exclaimed "Ah".

It’s the strange shadow I saw before!

After recognizing the other person, he just flicked his tail and jumped out of the other person's hand.

Just at this moment the figure let go.

Little Dumpling stared at him intently, and asked in a baby voice with a little caution, "Who are you?"

Shadow didn't answer, but moved closer to him and reached out to touch his head.

Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly covered her head and dodged vigilantly.

But you can see that the other party is standing there lost, like a poor puppy abandoned by its owner.

The little girl hesitated for a while, then swam back on her own initiative.

"Only Father can touch Yan'er's head, but... today I can make an exception. Here, I'll let you touch it."

As he said this, he put down his hands and stretched his head over.

Shadow was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked his hair, as if it were a priceless treasure.

The little dumpling squinted his eyes comfortably and rubbed himself subconsciously in the broad palm.

For some reason, the shadow gave him a very close feeling, a feeling different from that of anyone else.

"Are you human?"

"Why do you look different from everyone else?"

"Father doesn't allow humans to come to the Eternal Sea. How did you get in?"

Perhaps because Mao felt comfortable with the quilt, the little boy became less wary of him and asked him several questions in a row.

However, Shadow remained silent. Little Dumpling looked at him in confusion, then put his little hand on his neck.

Curiously asked: "You can't speak?"

Shadow grabbed his hand and held it, looking into his eyes intently, as if trying to find something in those innocent eyes.

The little boy tilted his head, and suddenly he had an idea. He broke free from Shadow's hand and took a small conch from his neck.

Hand it to the other person: "Here you go!"

"This is a conch shell. Press here to make a sound."

After saying that, he demonstrated it himself.

Shadow followed his example and touched the tip of the conch, and the conch immediately emitted a low sound wave.

The talking conch is a communication tool used by mermaids. It can be used to ask for help from companions in times of crisis. Generally, adult mermaids will give this conch to their young.

The little boy learned it after just one teaching, and wagged his tail happily.

Shadow looked at him lovingly, and was happy when suddenly his expression became serious, as if in pain.

Almost at the same time, the seaquake struck again, this time more violently than before. The shaking water waves made the distant sea "boil".

Shadow grabbed hold of the little ball and swam upstream with all his might, avoiding the oncoming undercurrent.

After a while, the man and the fish surfaced.

It was the first time for the little girl to experience such turmoil, and she was frightened and at a loss.

At this time, a huge whirlpool formed on the sea not far away. Little Tuanzi stared at the whirlpool in a daze and cried, "Father... Sister Hongqiao..."

The joy is gone, leaving only panic.

The little dumpling came to his senses and didn't care about anything else, he dived into the water.

However, as soon as he moved, a pair of large hands grabbed him under the arms and pulled him out of the water.

"Let me go! I want to find my father!"

The little girl struggled hard, her big eyes filled with tears and she was about to cry.

But the next second, he suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

In an instant, a refreshing cool fragrance lingered at his nose, and his panicked mood miraculously calmed down.

At the same time, countless fragmented images flashed through his mind like lightning.

Who, who?

Why do I feel so relieved...

Little Dumpling felt like he was bathing in the sun, warm and secure. With such deep attachment, his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

"Who are you?

Before he could finish his words, he fell into a deep sleep.

Shadow looked deeply at the sleeping face in his arms, and gently stroked his eyes, eyebrows, and cheeks as if he were a treasure that had been lost and found again...

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Hongqiao's voice came from the direction of the main hall.

When Hongqiao came over, she saw only Little Tuanzi lying alone on the grass.

The shadow disappeared again, leaving only a sigh floating gently in the breeze.

-

Two days later, in the polar region.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys."

"Don't worry, as long as we are here, we will definitely not let the cracks affect the Eye of Eternity."

Bai Heng put away the scepter. His face turned pale due to excessive consumption.

At this time, a red eyeball flapped its wings and swam in front of him.

Bai Heng spread out his palms, and his eyes fell obediently into his palms.

Then the voice of Gui Fang came from inside: "The mermaid egg is fine, and the outside world has not been affected yet."

Bai Heng put his eyeballs into his sleeves and then left the Jiyu.

After a while, in the main hall.

"I heard that the elders are quite concerned about the formation of the cracks?"

"Ah."

"This time I think everyone's worries are justified. After all, Tix isn't dead yet, and we can't be sure whether the intruder is a friend or foe. If..."

Guifang hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was self-evident.

However, Bai Heng was extremely sure: "It can't be wrong."

As he spoke, his eyes wandered a little, and his thoughts returned to the conversation he had with Ming Xiu not long ago.

-

"What you meant is that you are unable to resist this force, not that you are powerless to stop it. Could it be..." Bai Heng looked at Ming Xiu sharply.

There was no one else around at this time, so Ming Xiu no longer concealed it: "You are right."

This sentence caused waves in Bai Heng's heart. As the guardian of the Eternal Sea, the only one who could make Ming Xiu irresistible was... his master - the legendary Sea God.

-

Bai Heng collected his thoughts, closed the book in his hand, and looked thoughtful.

Gui Fang understood something when he saw this, so he stopped asking questions. At this time, his eyes fell on the book on the table.

Looking at the big words "Silent Abyss" engraved on the sheepskin cover with spiritual fire, Gui Fang was overwhelmed with emotions and felt quite touched.

"Now everything is ready, have you really thought it through?" he said.

But as soon as he said this, he felt that it was an unnecessary question.

On that day, Bai Heng gambled his own flesh and blood, and the entire destiny of the mermaid clan, to create a place of departure within the seal. He made a great determination.

The purpose is to separate the consciousness of the mermaid egg and send it to another world.

The ten years he spent away from home were earned with everything he had. Now time flies, and it is time to say goodbye.

With a faint sigh, Gui Fang asked, "When are you going to tell Yan'er?"

Bai Heng did not answer, but he, who was usually calm, could not help but show a sense of loss on his face.
