Breeding of Mermaids

Hong Yan is a radical adventurist, and he has passed on his thoughts on this aspect to his younger brother.

It has been a long time since their mermaid tribe was expelled to the current settlement. Such a long time is enough for ordinary mermaids to reproduce for three or four generations. They don't have such deep feelings. Most of them are content with the status quo, and are not willing to make great sacrifices in exchange for returning to their hometown, which seems dispensable to them.

Therefore, the mermaid clan is divided into conservatives, radicals and neutrals.

Conservative mermaids always have so many reasons to support themselves to stick to the status quo and are unwilling to go out of the current resting place; radicals want to go out of this place no matter what, and return to the former settlements; and neutrals, The faction with the fewest numbers, they don't talk about this issue.

Hongyan has walked out of the mermaid tribe's current settlement many times since he was able to transform. He has traveled to most places in the Spirit World Continent. After seeing the vastness of the world outside, he is even more determined to lead his tribe out of this small place. However, even if he is a prince, even if his father and king support his view, his appeal is still limited, or he will not be able to reach the moment when he is cornered. Always so much.

Hongyan is very powerless about this, but he has no good way to solve this problem.

With his decisive personality, he would rather return to the old land even after the mermaid tribe sacrificed a lot. He always believed that nothing could be broken and nothing could be built. In this water area, although they live quietly without being disturbed, one day they will perish , You must go out to survive in the end, and develop and pass on with dignity and strength.

Therefore, Hongyan really didn't take the matter of him stealing the red jade crystal too seriously, because he himself didn't pay much attention to things like the red jade crystal. He felt that only the miser wanted to guard a Only a baby would care so much about this kind of stuff.He thought, as long as he has the strength, as long as he can go back, he can have as many of these things as he wants in the future.

Hongyan has a vast world in his heart, so he is not afraid of his father's next wrath and punishment.

Hongyan took He Xi into his father's bedroom. Since his father met him in the bedroom instead of in the front palace, Hongyan knew that his father didn't intend to resolutely deal with him, and he was probably willing to let him go. One horse.

To meet him in the front palace is to interrogate him as a mermaid king, but to meet him in the bedroom is to educate him as a father.

He Xi was held in Hong Yan's arms and walked very fast in the palace. He could hardly see the surrounding scenery clearly. In fact, there was nothing to see. There were almost only black and white palaces. There were various patterns inlaid with crystals, and there were very few attendants in the palace. Even so, it did not lessen He Xi's awe of this place.

When Hongyan put him down, He Xi still hesitated, and asked Hongyan in a low voice, "Already here?"

Hong Yan nodded, and asked the servant to report, and after getting a response, he took He Xi into the bedroom.

He Xi was curious about this pure land palace. In his mind, the mermaid palace should be built underwater like the Dragon King's crystal palace, with pearls, corals, and all kinds of beautiful aquatic plants. no.

When he entered the dormitory, he smelled a faint fragrance, which was the fragrance of lotus, and the fragrance of lotus floating in the cold air also brought a cold feeling, but it made He Xi relax a little, because this fragrance was his familiar smell.

He Xi was looking at the several red lotuses planted in the beautiful big vat next to the pillars of the sleeping hall, when the red lotus gently pulled him, he quickly calmed down and put on a solemn look, preparing to pay homage to the king of the mermaid clan.

He had just adjusted his expression, but he didn't expect that a tall person suddenly appeared in front of him, and he took a step back in fright. If it wasn't for Hong Yan holding his hand, he would probably fall backwards.

He raised his head in a daze to look at the person in front of him, and saw that he was dressed in a crimson red robe, and his hair was also reddish and slightly black, and it fell down long. When he met his face, He Xi seemed to be frozen The ground couldn't move anymore, and it seemed that the cold air was radiating from the inside of the body, so that the whole body was frozen in an instant, as cold as if frozen in ice.

He didn't know how to describe the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, but he was indeed afraid of him, it was the fear born from the bottom of his heart, which instantly overwhelmed him and made him unable to move.

Hong Yan immediately reacted, quickly blocked He Xi behind her, and then looked at the humanity in front of her, "Father, it's all the child's fault, I did everything, he is just a human being, very fragile , can't stand the hurt, if you touch him, he will die."

Hong Jian put his eyes on his son, his face was expressionless, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, seeing Hong Yan clenched his hands tightly, he said, "Is he the human being that Xiao said?"

Hong Yan said, "That's him."

Hong Jian pointed at He Xi, "He's wrapped in clothes, I can't see clearly how attractive he is, making you willing to steal the ruby ​​crystals from the clan for him."

Hong Jian withdrew his spiritual pressure, and He Xi's body was able to move a little bit, but when faced with Hong Jian's question, he couldn't say anything. In fact, he had asked himself, what kind of charm could make Hong Yan fall in love with him? No matter how I think about it, I can't think of an answer, and when I ask Hongyan, Hongyan only says that it's just because he is him.

Hong Yan then tore off the cloth scarf covering He Xi's face, but still let him put on the cloak hat, and explained to Hong Jian respectfully, "Human beings are very afraid of the cold, father, please allow him to wear the cloak."

Hong Jian said, "Don't talk about human beings being so fragile, I'm not ignorant of what they are like."

As he spoke, he glanced at He Xi again, then turned around, walked back to the couch and sat down, and said, "I really can't see anything outstanding, but the red lotus seal of the red jade crystal is there It's pretty clear."

Hongyan didn't know whether her father was angry or not, so she didn't dare to act rashly, she just answered him, "He is the partner I recognize, others can't see his goodness, as long as I can see it."

He Xi was a little surprised that Hongyan said such a thing in front of his father, but judging from his father's appearance, it seemed that he didn't care about what he said.

Hong Jian waved his hand indifferently to Hong Yan, and said, "I see that you brought this human being to me, you are confident, and you think I will spare you. For a red jade crystal, I really didn't You want your son to be punished by the clansmen, but you acted recklessly, abandoned your responsibilities, stole the red jade crystal, injured the clansman, and brought humans back to the clan. Now, you can either take the ruby ​​crystal out of this human body and return it, and I will act as if nothing happened; or, you can let this human keep this ruby ​​crystal, after all, he has already used this ruby ​​crystal. If the breath of human beings is lost, the clansmen will find problems when they use it again in the future. However, we have to send him away and not let him appear in the clan again. You will also be punished by going to the Purgatory Spring for this king. If you do not complete the 24 guardian formations in the clan If you are not allowed to come out, you will make up for your mistakes."

Hong Jian's words did not fluctuate, as if there was no emotion in them, but Hong Yan knew that the more his father was like this, it showed that he was really angry, and what he said just now could not be changed.

The ranks of the Mermaid Clan are not as strict as those of other Spirit Clans. When Hong Yan saw his father who was the Mermaid King, he never knelt down and even talked to him in the same way as his peers. But now, he is facing Hong Jian Kneeling, He Xi saw him kneeling, and knelt beside him. In fact, he has been nervous and dazed since he saw the Mermaid King.

Hongyan held He Xi's hand, looked at his father and said, "Father, you know that I must choose the second option. I am willing to go to Purgatory Spring to be punished, but you have to ask me to arrange for him to be sent away. Others send him away." I don't worry about him leaving."

Hongjian looked at Hongyan, then glanced at He Xi, who had almost no sense of presence next to Hongyan, and said, "In the human world, there are always so many stories that we have bewitched human beings. In my opinion, there have always been only Humans are bewitching mermaids. You are all so worthless, you are just a human, and in the blink of an eye, he should go from life to death, so what else do you like?"

Hongyan just knelt there, even put her head on the floor.

Seeing Hongyan like this, He Xi felt extremely sad, and couldn't help but tears filled his eyes. There were puddles of water in his eyes, as if tears would come out in the blink of an eye, but he restrained the urge to cry, and his voice was Choking, looking at Hongyan who was knocking on the ground with his head beside him, he said, "Hongyan, thank you for your affection for me. No matter where I go, I will be waiting for you."

Hong Jian looked at He Xi's deep affection for Hong Yan, but he didn't really care about it, but he knew that mermaids were born like this, and when they identified a partner, they always fell in love with each other, so he didn't blame him. The son had real affection for the human being.

Hong Jian finally sighed, and said to his son who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, "You can send this human being away before accepting punishment."

Hong Yan thanked his father and was about to take He Xi away.

He Xi took one last look at Hong Jian, bowed to him, and followed Hong Yan away.

He Xi actually didn't know what punishment Hongyan was going to suffer, but he knew it must not be an ordinary punishment. On the way Hongyan took him out, he asked Hongyan what would happen to him. Hongyan didn't explain, just said , "It's nothing, I'll see you off first."
