[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer

Cong Yi took Shen Ling and Celia, who had turned into human forms, to his residence in the school.

It was late at night, Shen Ling put Celia to sleep and walked into Cong Yi's office as agreed.

Cong Yi is checking books at his desk. As the principal of a basic school, he has many trivial but important tasks to do every day.

From the appearance, Cong Yisheng is handsome and romantic, and his pair of upturned red phoenix eyes will reveal a charming charm unintentionally.However, anyone who knows Cong Yi knows that he is a meticulous educator, and almost all of his life is dedicated to the basic school on the planet D14.

Seeing Shen Ling come in, Cong Yi pointed to the sofa covered in sky blue flannel in the room, and said, "Please sit down."

Shen Ling nodded and sat down, Cong Yi got up and made a cup of coffee for Shen Ling.

"Thank you." Shen Ling took the coffee, and he noticed that Cong Yi was wearing a green emerald ring on his left ring finger. This ring looked familiar, but Shen Ling couldn't remember when he saw it.

He sincerely thanked: "If it wasn't for you ten years ago, I think I might have died. In the past ten years, thanks to you and Bai Youling for taking care of Celia for me."

Ten years ago, Shen Ling fell asleep in a spaceship that was about to explode. When he woke up, he found himself placed in a glass tank filled with viscous liquid. There was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, as if something was struggling to Get out of his body.

He screamed in the glass tank in pain, the high-frequency sound waves shattered the glass tank into glass shards all over the floor, and the viscous blue liquid also spilled all over the floor.

Someone picked him up, put him on a push chair, and he was taken to the operating table.

The bright white light awakened his painful memories, and he struggled desperately to stand up, and Cong Yi standing in front of him calmed his uneasiness.

It was a very miraculous power, from his words, eyes and expressions revealed a reassuring energy, that energy could easily extinguish the spark of irritability in people's hearts.

He fell silent, and soon after, with a baby cry, his daughter was born.

The doctor carried the child in front of Cong Yi, and Cong Yi hugged the child and approached him.

"It's a girl, have you figured out what her name is?"

……

Recalling the memory, Shen Ling picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Celia is a very cute child." Cong Yi said with a smile, "Every time I see her, I can think of my mentor, your mother." He paused for a moment and continued, "Ten years ago, I I dreamed of the teacher, and the teacher asked me to save her child, and Bai Youling sent you to me a few days later. I think it is the teacher who is protecting you in the dark."

Shen Ling had already heard about the relationship between Cong Yi and his mother from Celia. After the Mecha Contest, almost everyone in the New Galaxy Empire knew that he was Elena's son, so he was not surprised that Cong Yi knew that he was the son of Irina. His identity, he just wondered, he was rescued again, could it be because of his mother whom he had never met?

Where is his mother, and why does she keep rescuing him from crisis over and over again?

He hesitated to say his question: "You...do you know where she is?"

Cong Yi stared at Shen Ling in silence for a long time.

He didn't answer Shen Ling's question directly, but talked about the past. "Ronan and I were brought up on this planet by Teacher Lin and Teacher Lin. They are like my parents to me. The teacher taught me to use soul power and led me to subdue my natal soul beast." Cong Yi looked down at his thigh, and there appeared out of nowhere a little cat fox in the form of a snow-white soul body. The cat fox mischievously licked his front paws, then jumped up and turned around, screaming "meow" at Cong Yi I rubbed my stomach twice.

Cong Yi hugged the cat fox and walked to the window. He opened the heavy curtains, opened the window, and let the cool breeze in.

Outside the window, the two dusty stone-brick buildings of the basic school look like two elderly people who have gone through hardships but are still holding on under the night.

"The founder of this school is the teacher. The teacher found many children with soul power talents in the letter D galaxy. Unfortunately, these children do not live long, and they are often dying when they reach the ability to obtain the soul beast of their own destiny. At first, the teacher just wanted to protect these children. She chose planet D14, which is a ghost planet, but the environment is more suitable for human habitation, and brought a large number of her men and medical personnel to set up schools, hospitals, Giving those poor children of the Alphabet D galaxy a place to live longer."

"Later, this place grew bigger and bigger, and gradually turned into a small town... The teacher spent too much effort in this place, and she also successfully cultivated a large number of soul beast masters. It can be said that she gave The galaxy of the letter D brings new hope." Speaking of his teacher, Cong Yi's eyes burst out with reverence and longing.

"Do you know? You were actually born on this planet. On the day you were born, everyone in the town was looking forward to your arrival, because the banquet held for your birth lasted all day and night. But because of my You made a mistake and made you an orphan." Cong Yi turned around and gave Shen Ling a guilty look.

Although Shen Ling was surprised by Cong Yi's words, he would not blame him.He doesn't want to know what happened back then, some things are in the past, and now he just wants to find his parents.

"Teacher and Teacher Lin left this planet to find you, and no one has seen them since. I have searched for them for more than 30 years. Although I have obtained some information about their whereabouts, there is still no way to confirm them."

"what do you mean?"

"I know where they are, but I have no way of knowing if they are actually there because that place is not accessible to everyone."

"Where is the place you mentioned? Is it related to the Mermaid?"

"The place I'm talking about is the land of the mermaids. It is rumored that the mermaids have the ability to travel through time and space. If the mermaids really have such magical power as in the rumors. In order to find you, the teacher who is a mermaid will definitely go there. Of course, my clues are not limited to these, but those are not important."

"I will definitely go to the mermaid land, but I'm afraid I can't go in alone." Shen Ling looked at his hand and curled his fingers weakly.

After waking up, he found that his body was empty, and he couldn't feel any soul power.

At first he was saddened by the loss of his powers, but he was relieved when he saw Celia.

If the price for both himself and his daughter to survive the catastrophe was his own strength, he would never hesitate to exchange it.

It's just that Fenghuang has not responded, which makes Shen Ling very worried.He asked Hui, and Hui didn't know about Phoenix's situation, but said that he believed that Phoenix must be fine, because Fenghuang is Shen Ling's natal soul beast, and if something happened to Fenghuang, it was impossible for him not to respond, and Shen Ling felt relieved a little. .

"I won't let you go alone, and Bai Youling and I will go together. But before that, I must tell you an ancient legend about the mermaid tribe." Cong Yi sat back opposite Shen Ling, intentionally or unconsciously The right hand caressed the jade ring on the ring finger of the left hand. "It is said that the purpose of the Mermaids coming to this galaxy is to find the True Dragons and give birth to the Son of God with them."

He smiled, "But the legend is just a legend, I just suggest that you invite someone to go with you."

Shen Ling understood what Cong Yi meant.

Even if Cong Yi didn't say it, he would go to Ludwig. He had been looking forward to the moment when he met Ludwig since he woke up.

A few days later, Cong Yi prepared everything needed for Shen Ling to leave.

Celia has never left the planet D14. She has long been curious about other planets, but she is reluctant to part with this place, and also the principal and White Ghost who brought her up.

After saying goodbye to the principal and classmates, Celia followed Shen Ling on the spaceship.As soon as she boarded the spaceship, she moved a small stool and stood at the porthole to look out.

Uncle K, Sister S and Xia didn't come to see her off. She didn't know if it made them angry because she was leaving.

She was very disturbed and sad, and kept staring out of the porthole with red eyes.

Suddenly she saw three Frisbees chasing behind their spaceship, she burst into tears and laughed, and shouted at the Frisbees: "Uncle K, Sister S, Xiao Xia—"

The Frisbee flew crosswise, and the specially prepared jets drew an "X" curve in the air, which was her initials.

Shen Ling didn't know when he stood beside Celia, and he said to her: "Look, they are saying goodbye to you."

"Will we ever come back?" Celia asked.

Shen Ling rubbed Celia's head and didn't answer her.He has already seen that this place is not an ordinary place. Although Cong Yi said that this town was built by his mother, he knows that Cong Yi must be hiding something.

I'm afraid it's easy for them to leave this place, but it's not easy for them to come back again.

Three days later, Shen Ling brought Celia to Camilla.

The sapphire necklace he wore around his neck was once taken away when he was captured by Nicholas' group ten years ago, but for some reason, when he woke up ten years later, Cong Yi gave him the necklace , and said that when Bai Ghost brought him over, he wore a necklace around his neck.

Inside the necklace were all of Shen Ling's property, as well as the emerald dragon pendant necklace that Ludwig gave him back then. He put the necklace on Celia and hid it in her little clothes.

When they arrived in Camilla, Shen Ling first took Celia to College Street to find Granny Maria.But the door of the mother-in-law's candy store was closed tightly, and the signboard was covered with a layer of dust, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time.After asking the shop owners around, Shen Ling found out that her mother-in-law closed the shop ten years ago, and she didn't know where she went.

Shen Ling guessed that it was the time when he disappeared ten years ago, and her mother-in-law was hit hard, so she closed the store.

The mother-in-law has already gone through the grief of losing her son and daughter-in-law, and the loss of her grandson again could break her down.The thought of her mother-in-law being so old made Shen Ling feel uncomfortable.

Shen Ling took Celia to Longbao, but the guards drove them away when they saw their shabby clothes.

He had no choice but to go to the Electronic Commerce City to buy a new brain, and he bought one for Celia by the way. He bought the cheapest one himself, but he bought the most expensive brain for Celia without hesitation. down.

The only contact number he could remember was Ludwig's, so he sent a video call to Ludwig, but the words "the user does not exist" popped up on the virtual screen of the brain.

Shen Ling thought that when he arrived in Camilla, he would naturally be able to contact his mother-in-law and Ludwig, but the facts disappointed him.

It was getting late, so Shen Ling had no choice but to rent a small house in the city and live in it with Celia.

The house was not big, very old, and smelled of tide. Celia, who had been running around with her father for a day, was not in a good mood, but Shen Ling used his little cake to make Celia feel better.

After eating, Shen Ling used his brain to inquire about Ludwig's information.

The frequency of the word "Ludwig" in the entertainment section has decreased significantly over the past few years, but its frequency in the military section has increased sharply.

The author of the military section described Ludwig as a "crazy mad dragon", and believed that Ludwig was the most feared true dragon of the Pendragon family after Arthur the Great.

"Since the death of my most respected grandfather and fiancee, Ludwig has been silent for five years, and when he reappeared five years later, he became a crazy dragon on the battlefield... In just five years, he climbed from an ordinary soldier As for the position of colonel, although during the war, the military rank was raised very quickly, but Ludwig is definitely a legend, as if people can see the heroic appearance of Arthur the Great... As long as there is a battlefield where he appears, it must be the enemy's Nightmare...Abyssian Star Wars, Ludwig led his fleet to wipe out more than [-] enemies...Interstellar pirates hijacked commercial spaceships, Ludwig followed the clues, and finally took the entire interstellar pirate nest away..."

Looking at the Ludwig whom he didn't know between the lines, Shen Ling's heart ached as if a piece of flesh had been severely gouged out.

He didn't dare to imagine that Ludwig, who was gentle, with a bright smile, like a perfect prince, would turn into a bloodthirsty and ruthless demon.

Shen Ling searched for some recent information about Ludwig, and probably knew that he was not in Camilla now, but on a small agricultural planet [-] miles away from the main planet of Camilla to quell chaos.

He had to decide to settle down with Celia first, wait for Ludwig to come back, and then find a way to find him.

------

Shen Ling didn't have much savings, and Celia was still a student and couldn't stay at home often, so Shen Ling had to help her arrange a school first.

Cong Yi had already made Celia's background seamless and put it into the household registration information of Cosmos.com, and the school's investigation of Celia's information absolutely did not reveal any problems.

Shen Ling carefully selected a noble school with very expensive tuition fees for Celia, and Celia went to the school as a transfer student on the day the formalities were completed.

After setting up Celia, Shen Ling also found a job as a pastry chef in a five-star hotel in the city center - Imperial Crown Hotel.

The work is tiring and busy, but fortunately, Shen Ling is very good at making desserts. In just one month, he became the most popular pastry chef in the hotel. Many guests who have tasted his desserts asked to meet him and meet him face to face Thanks.

The outstanding newcomers naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the hotel's old chefs.

Xia Li has worked at the Imperial Crown Hotel for five years, and she is well-deserved in charge of desserts.

Most of the guests at the Imperial Crown Hotel are high-ranking officials and nobles, and because of her outstanding craftsmanship, Xia Li is quite famous among these high-ranking officials and nobles.But today, another old customer of hers called to thank Shen Ling for tasting Shen Ling's dessert.

Xia Li originally disdained the fact that Shen Ling snatched her customer away, but when she knew that today's customer was Mr. Sidney, she was so angry that her facial features were distorted.

Mr. Sidney is quite well-known in Camilla, a city where there are many children of high-ranking officials and aristocrats. He has a prominent background, is handsome and elegant, but he is 37 years old this year. Until now, his relationship is still empty. In other words, Mr. Sidney is a typical diamond kingpin.

Mr. Sidney is basically not picky, and his only hobby is to enjoy food.He once said that he doesn't have too many demands on his other half, he just hopes that she can cook delicious food so that he can enjoy the infinite joy of taste every day.

Charlie accepted Sidney's thanks for the first time three years ago, and was deeply fascinated by his mature man's demeanor.Since then, she has made unremitting efforts to make food that satisfies Mr. Sidney. In the past three years, Mr. Sidney ordered her desserts almost every time he came to the Imperial Crown Hotel. Gradually, they became friends.

At least Charlie thought Sidney considered her a friend.

But this time Sydney didn't order her dessert, but the new kid's.

Xia Li was so angry that she smashed the already made cake into a ball of mud. The assistants beside her felt her anger and whispered to each other, but they didn't dare to approach.

Coming out of the high-end box, Shen Ling was greatly relieved.

He didn't understand why this kind of high-end hotel still has so many fake things. It's tiring enough to make snacks every day, and you still have to be called by guests to thank you.Compared with making pastries, Shen Ling is more afraid of dealing with these so-called nobles, they always talk in the same way.After he entered the box, he was not good at words, and every time he opened his mouth, he could reap the embarrassing effect of the silence.

If it wasn't for making money, he really didn't want to work in this kind of place.Compared with this place, Shen Ling prefers a cozy little shop like Granny Maria's candy shop.

But he is a single man with a young daughter, living in such a big city, he needs money no matter where he is.Although the job at the Imperial Crown Hotel was tiring, it was the highest paying job he could find that suited him.

Back in the back kitchen, Shen Ling felt the oppressive low pressure.During the time of work, he got along with the people in the back kitchen in a lukewarm manner.

Because he had to rush home to accompany Celia every day, and he didn't have the idea of ​​cooking in this hotel, so he never participated in the kitchen's party.He felt that he only needed to do his own job well, and he didn't bother with interpersonal communication.

He walked to his place, glanced at the menu, and was about to start making the next dessert.

Because of Shen Ling's good craftsmanship, the manager arranged for him two assistants.One of the assistants leaned over to Shen Ling and told him to be careful with Xia Li, and then hurried away to stir the egg whites.

Shen Ling glanced at Xia Li, just in time to meet Xia Li's resentful gaze.

Xia Li is a straightforward person with a simple mind, whoever she hates and who she likes is written on her face.

Shen Ling knows Xia Li's personality well, and has also tasted the desserts made by Xia Li herself. Xia Li's craftsmanship is much better than his, but he has learned secret techniques from his mother-in-law, which is why he was able to get this position in the hotel.

Probably because of the sympathy between the pastry chefs, Shen Ling respected Xia Li very much from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know how he offended her.

In the next two months, Shen Ling discovered that a guest named Sidney seemed to like to call him over, and several times gave hints that he wanted to meet Shen Ling alone outside the hotel.

Every time, Shen Ling would decisively reject his kindness, but this guest took the trouble, as if he was about to cling to Shen Ling. He would come to the Empire Crown Hotel for dinner six days out of seven days a week, and would treat Shen Ling every time. Call him over, even invite him to dinner.

Shen Ling was annoyed by the harassment, and originally planned to hand in her resignation and leave.But at this time, Celia told him that she wanted to participate in the school's mecha training, which required a lot of money. Shen Ling turned around and tore up her resignation letter and threw it into the trash can.

After returning to Camilla, Shen Ling was very stingy with his food and clothing.But when it comes to treating his precious daughter Celia, he is much more generous.

Shen Ling himself is a hidden lolicon, and he has always been very guilty of Celia, so when he gets along with his daughter, unconsciously, he wants to dedicate all the best things to her.

The school must be the best, the clothes must be the most beautiful, and the food must be carefully prepared by him. Anyway, as long as it is what Celia wants, Shen Ling will try his best to satisfy her.

It's just that Shen Ling didn't expect that he didn't plan to resign, but the hotel was going to fire him.

The elderly manager euphemistically expressed that because Shen Ling offended someone, he hoped that he could leave the hotel on his own, but the hotel would compensate him with three months' salary.

Three months' salary just solved Shen Ling's urgent need, so Shen Ling naturally readily agreed.

On the last day of working in the hotel, the assistant quietly told Shen Ling.The reason he was dismissed was that Xia Li liked Sidney, and after Shen Ling came to the hotel, Sidney never ordered Xia Li's desserts again, so she tried every means to drive Shen Ling away.

Shen Ling remembered that Mr. Sidney's favorite desserts were fresh strawberry tart and cheesecake. He wrote his experience in making these two desserts on a small card and put it on Xiali's workbench.

However, not long after he left, a tall man in a black suit and a beautiful lady came to the hotel together.

In the high-end box, Ludwig cut a piece of thick chocolate cake gentlemanly, put it on a plate and handed it to Mia. Mia smiled coquettishly and joked with him: "Your Highness likes sweets very much."

The words were just a joke, but the love in Mia's eyes was real.

"Desserts can bring people a good mood. Every time I eat sweets, I will think of..." Ludwig cut a piece for himself, and after taking the first bite, his movements froze.

He put down the fork tremblingly, and asked the guards who followed him to bring the pastry chef who made the cake.

A short time later, the hotel manager came over to apologize.

"The pastry chef resigned today?"

"Yes, Your Highness, unfortunately, today is his last day of work."

Ludwig glanced at the cake on the table.

The person he loved has passed away. Even if the taste is the same, it cannot be made by the same person. What exactly do you want to pursue?

-----

Shen Ling didn't expect that after he resigned, Sidney still found him perseveringly.

Shen Ling, who was going to rest for two weeks before looking for a job, picked up Celia by himself these days, but every time he went to the gate of the basic school, he could see Sidney's over-the-top Lei Chi brand A88 suspension car.

This is the most expensive suspension car developed by Lei Chi this year. The configuration inside the car is all top-notch. Most importantly, the appearance of this car is also very eye-catching.With a pure white body and beautiful lines, no matter from which angle you look at it, this high-end suspension car screams to everyone, "I'm expensive." Three words.

Sidney got off the suspension car and walked to Shen Ling's side with graceful steps.

"Xiao Ling, are you free today?" He deliberately lowered his tone, making his voice sound gentle and magnetic.

Sidney's appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by. Shen Ling didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so he said to Sidney with a bit of a headache: "Sir, you really make it difficult for me to do this. As I said, I already have a lover."

When dealing with feelings, Shen Ling has always been consistent.

It's not the person he likes, he will never procrastinate, and rejects each other very simply every time.

But Sidney didn't care, and finally found someone who could make his heart-warming dishes, and the other person looked so young and handsome, he would never give up easily.

"But as far as I know, you are a single father now." In fact, Sidney didn't believe that Celia was Shen Ling's child, because Shen Ling looked like a teenage student.

He thought that Shen Ling repeatedly used the reasons that he had a lover and had a ten-year-old daughter to prevaricate himself, but it was just a refusal.

After all, an outstanding and rich single king like him, no matter where he is, is always the object of pursuit by boys and girls.

Having had enough of being chased and praised these years, Sidney didn't believe that he couldn't win the handsome boy in front of him with his own charm.

"Sorry, I really..."

Celia's crisp "Dad" interrupted Shen Ling, and Shen Ling quickly walked up to him, holding Celia's hand.When he walked to Sidney, Shen Ling said to him: "I want to leave with my daughter first, and we appreciate your kindness."

"Wait." Sidney grabbed the arm of Shen Ling who was about to leave, "I want to invite you and little Celia to have dinner at the newly opened Lafia restaurant. I don't know if you would like to show your face." He Squatting down, trying to attack Celia first, "It is said that the children's meal in the restaurant also comes with a princess doll."

"I don't like princess dolls." Celia tilted her head and said, "It's too motherly."

Sidney was a little embarrassed, Shen Ling pushed Celia behind, and refused to say: "Don't bother, my daughter is not used to eating outside."

Shen Ling picked up Celia, turned around and was about to leave, but Sidney stopped him again: "There will be a ball in the palace in two days, if you want, can I invite you to join me?"

The palace ball is a big move that Sidney has prepared. He believes that absolutely no commoner can withstand the temptation of the palace ball, let alone a young man like Shen Ling.

In the dreams of boys and girls, court balls are full of infinitely charming colors.

The aristocrats in luxurious evening gowns danced on the dance floor, the well-dressed aristocratic young ladies were as beautiful as a group of flowers and butterflies, and the elegant gentlemen added a special style to the ball.

Not to mention seeing the legendary real dragon, His Royal Highness Ludwig.

Sure enough, Shen Ling turned around and asked, "What dance?"

Sidney smiled knowingly. "May I invite you to the ball where Queen Gehera chooses a concubine for His Royal Highness Ludwig?"

"Choose a concubine?"

"His Royal Highness is nearly thirty years old. Although for orcs, 30 years old is still a boy. But His Highness is the biggest candidate for the next crown prince. It's time to choose a concubine."

Sidney didn't notice Shen Ling's getting darker and darker, but enthusiastically introduced Ludwig to him. Ludwig was a legend among his peers. "Your Highness is an affectionate person. He has always loved his dead fiancée deeply. But it has been ten years. I really hope that a gentle woman can heal the wound in his heart."

To heal the wounds in your heart?Gentle woman?

Shen Ling clenched her fists angrily.

Okay, looking for a gentle woman to heal your wounds?Yes, as long as he still has that life!

As Sidney talked, he felt that he had described Ludwig too perfectly. In order to dissuade Shen Ling from wanting to get close to Ludwig, he mentioned that this time Queen Gehera was Ludwig. Selected concubine candidates.

Needless to say, the daughters of those powerful officials, since they were young, they were golden branches and jade leaves, and they were more delicate than flowers.There are also several teenagers, one of whom is more handsome than the other, and they are willing to become Ludwig's wife because they admire Ludwig.

But these are not the point, the point is Mia, the daughter of a star general who has risen in recent years. Not only does she look on par with Queen Gehela, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the empire, she is also an excellent mecha The mechanic and Ludwig had been in battle for five years, and the two had a very deep relationship. It is very likely that this ball is her and Ludwig's engagement dinner.

The volcano of anger and jealousy in Shen Ling's heart has erupted in full force. In order to suppress Shen Ling's anger, Hui has been persuading him, "Ludwig is not that kind of person, you have to trust him."

Shen Ling knew that he should trust Ludwig, but when he heard what Sidney said that Ludwig and that beautiful mechanic lived and died for five years, his trust was shaken.

For a long time, the fact that Ludwig fell in love with him because of his physique attracted Ludwig was the biggest knot in Shen Ling's heart.Now Ludwig has a mechanic who has been with him for five years. If Ludwig has no feelings for her, Shen Ling can't believe it.

"I'll go." Shen Ling said to Sidney, "Thank you for inviting me, I will definitely attend."

He wanted to see who Ludwig was planning to choose as his princess.
