It wasn't until Uncle Nolan took them back to his residence that Xia Ya barely recovered.

While Haines and Nolan were not paying attention, he raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, trying to remove the still slightly hot temperature.

"Haines, take Shea to the room to rest first." Nolan walked into the kitchen skillfully, "There are still some ingredients at home, I will call you when it is ready."

Haynes responded, and when he was about to take Xia upstairs, Nolan stopped them again: "There was an empty room upstairs, but I put a lot of sundries in that room before, too Messy, and not much clean bedding."

Xia quickly said: "It's okay, I can sleep on the sofa in the living room."

"How can I let you sleep on the sofa!" Nolan refused without thinking, and he smiled and looked at Xi Ya, whose face was still flushed, "Xia, do you mind sleeping with Haines these few days? Is it a squeeze in a room? Haines is sleeping well, so he shouldn't disturb you."

Hearing this, Xi Ya was stunned for a moment, only felt that the blood all over his body seemed to find the right direction, and began to rush into his head again.

He wanted to refuse, but Nolan didn't give him any chance at all, while firmly believing that Shea should not be allowed to sleep on the sofa, he asked him curiously: "Shia, don't you want to share a room with Haines? Could it be that you despise him?"

"I, I didn't mean that!" Shea hurriedly waved her hands, and secretly looked at Haines out of the corner of her eyes. After seeing that his expression had not changed, and he seemed not to listen to Uncle Nolan's guess, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Ya smiled wryly and thought in his heart, why did he dislike Haines, he was simply afraid that Haines would dislike him!

Thinking of the experience of sleeping with Haines on the spaceship not long ago, Shia wished she could shrink into the cracks in the ground.

I don't know if Haines slept well that night...

While thinking wildly, Shia unknowingly followed Haines' footsteps into his room.

Seeing that Shea seemed a little distracted, Haines had a rare thought of teasing, "What's the matter? You are so absent-minded, could it be that you really said the same thing as uncle said," he paused, lowering his voice as if sad, "dislike me?"

"Of course not!" Shea regained her senses and hurriedly explained, but when he looked up at Haines, he immediately noticed the undisguised teasing on the other's face.

He froze for a moment, and immediately realized that Haines was teasing him.

Shia couldn't laugh or cry, "You know it's not, Haines." He sighed, "I'm just worried that you won't sleep well, after all, last time..."

He paused, really embarrassed to say it.

The next second, Haines' big hand covered his head again, and rubbed it vigorously, "Okay, don't think so much, if you really don't want to, we have time to tidy up the empty room now, the bedding The bed set can be ordered directly online, and it can be delivered within an hour."

Shia was so rubbed that he narrowed his eyes subconsciously. Hearing Haines's proposal, he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Don't bother, I didn't say I didn't want to share a room with you..."

His voice was getting smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible in the end.

Haines chuckled, and stopped his teasing behavior in good time.

The kid is still very young now, it is really cute to tease him once in a while, but if the teasing is overdone, let alone Xi Ya can't stand it, he can't help it before he can't bear it.

Haines withdrew his hand from Shea's soft hair, and began to tidy up the not-so-messy room.

Seeing this, Shia breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's because he has received a lot of information in the past two days, but Xia gradually developed a little resistance, and he basically calmed down after a while.

Seeing that Haines was still tidying up the room, Shia stepped forward to help, but Haines pushed him to the side of the bed, pressed his shoulders and let him sit down, "Don't move, I'll just do it, I need to clean it up Not many places."

Hearing this, Xia was still a little unwilling to give up, and wanted to secretly cast a few cleaning spells to help Haines relieve stress, but his attention was quickly attracted by a small photo frame beside the bed.

There were traces of spells on the photo frame, and it was obviously well maintained by someone, but it was not the small and delicate photo frame that attracted Xia's attention, but the people in the photo.

It was a mermaid girl who looked very similar to Haines, especially her sea blue eyes, which were exactly the same as those of Haines and Nolan.

"This is..." Xia subconsciously moved closer, although he had guessed the girl's identity in his heart, he still murmured subconsciously.

Hearing his voice, Haines turned his head and saw Xia staring at the photo frame. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's my mother."

Sure enough, Shia thought.

"You really look like her." Shea said with a smile, but when she turned her head, she saw the nostalgia on Haines's face, as well as a trace of undetectable sadness.

He kept his voice down, pressed down and continued to ask Haines about his mother.

With such an expression on her face, this beautiful mermaid lady must have encountered an accident.

This was the first time that Shia saw a sad expression on Haines' face. Although it was very shallow, Shia still regretted bringing up this topic to Haines.

He turned his head, trying to find another topic to draw Haines' attention to other places, but before he could think of a suitable topic, Nolan's voice came from downstairs.

"Haines! Shia! Come to eat!!!"

Shea instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Uncle Nolan several times in her heart.

After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted for a while to digest the food, and then went back to the room early to rest.

That night, after Xia fell asleep, Haines embraced Xia in his arms as he did on the spaceship that day.

However, considering that after dawn, they still have to go to the cliff on the bottom of the sea, Shea may need to work hard to find the abnormality under the cliff, so before Shea woke up, he secretly loosened the arm around Shea, and carefully released the person. Back to the side.

When Shia woke up, she found that she had finally returned to normal this time, and she didn't hold Haines like an octopus like last time.

He glanced at Haines who was half an arm away from him, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to sleep a little hot last night, but now he woke up without that feeling.

Shia frowned slightly, illusion...?

But he didn't struggle for long, and soon got up and started preparing for the next thing.

Regarding the major matters of the Mermaid Clan, Chief Stephens was very active and came to Nolan's residence in person, and led the three of them to the place where the cliff on the seabed was.

True to its name, the seabed cliff is a crack on the seabed hundreds of meters wide, and the bottom is where the cliff is located.

Patriarch Stephens gave a few instructions on what to pay attention to when going down, and jumped into the cliff first, followed by Nolan, followed by Haines who hugged Shia again.

The first time was raw and the second time was familiar. This time, Xi Ya didn't panic like the first time, and even started to observe the situation around her.

Although the seabed cliff is at the bottom of the deep sea, it is not dark, on the contrary, it becomes brighter as it goes down.When Haines brought him to the ground, he finally knew the reason.

Under the cliff grows a special plant that exudes radiance, and the radiance they radiate illuminates the entire world under the cliff.

Xi Ya saw that the tombstones stood among these plants, like patron saints, with a shocking majesty.

"These tombstones are all outstanding contributors to the mermaid clan since ancient times." Stephens crossed his hands in front of his chest and performed the highest etiquette of the mermaid clan in the direction of the tombstones. The respect in it is self-evident.

Haines and Nolan were the same as him, and Shia also imitated their movements and made the same salute.

The space under the ground is much larger than the crack above, and Shia can't see the end at a glance.Among the few people present, apart from him, Nolan could also feel the breath of foul air, so the four of them divided into two groups and started looking for traces of foul air in different directions.

The breath of the bottom of the sea is very unique. If the dirty air is mixed in it, it will be very clear, so it didn't take long for him to discover the direction from which the dirty air came from.

Xia's pointed ears moved, and she raised her hand and pointed in one direction: "Over there!"

His voice was not low, and Nolan and Stephens in the other direction heard it too. The two immediately gave up their direction and followed Shea's footsteps.

Xi Ya's sensing range for foul air is very wide. They ran at the fastest speed for several minutes before seeing Xi Ya gradually stop, and finally stopped beside a wasteland.

He squatted down, touched the seemingly unremarkable piece of land, and said softly: "The breath here is the strongest, it should be below here."

Stephens had no doubts about him: "There are no other tombstones of seniors nearby, so just dig."

The spells of the few people were not weak, and it didn't take long for them to dig a hole nearly three meters deep in that small piece of wasteland.

The filthy air became more and more intense, and Xia sharply saw a small piece of black, which was obviously not soil, protruding from the corner.

After a while, the unknown object finally revealed its full view.

It was a pitch-black coffin, and after Xia dispersed the filthy air that lingered on it a little, everyone discovered that there were traces of spells on the coffin, but they had just been covered by the filthy air, so they didn't notice it.

Xia took a deep breath, put her hands on the gap of the coffin lid, and nodded to them: "I'm ready."

Hearing this, with a little force on the palm of Stephens' palm, he easily opened a crack of the seemingly heavy coffin lid.

The filthy air was indeed a bit stronger than before, and the green light on Xi Ya's palm also lit up, blocking this particularly strong filthy air in front of everyone in time, and quickly cleaned it up.

The coffin lid was completely overturned by Stephens. Shea looked into the coffin solemnly. There was a slender person lying in the coffin. However, when Shea saw the man's face clearly, her expression changed drastically.

"This, this is—?!"
