cannon fodder attack

Xiomi put the weapon on the back of his waist, and he took two steps forward cautiously, carefully observing the mermaid's every move. Seeing that the other party showed no signs of avoiding it, he continued to move forward slowly.

Until the water submerged from the calf to the waist, Xiomi was only one meter away from the mermaid.

Behind him, everyone was staring at this scene intently, with tension in their eyes.

This is a purebred mermaid!They don't see each other in a hundred years, but now there is one in front of their eyes!

These people are too cautious. In order not to let them think too much, Xi Ye had to wait for the protagonist Shou to take the initiative to approach him.

Siomi kept a safe distance for a mermaid: "You..." But she stopped after saying a word.

He didn't know how to speak properly.

He was afraid of scaring the mermaid, after all, according to his observation, the mermaids in the empire were all delicate and delicate.

Seeing them like this, Xi Ye understood the general idea.

However, the deep-sea mermaids are different from the half-breed mermaids that are protected in the empire. With their strong fighting power, they can be regarded as the overlord in the deep sea. At least these human beings have no problem with each of their paws.

Xi Ye thought for a while, and walked around the protagonist twice.

This is a friendly signal from the mermaid.

Xiomi pursed her lips, and stretched out her hand towards the mermaid hesitantly.

Xi Ye glanced at his palm, raised his hand and shook it directly.

The huge fish tail was wrapped around the straight legs, one arm was wrapped around the young man's neck, and the mermaid was tightly attached to the young man's chest.

Siomi's eyes widened in surprise, her body was slightly stiff, and she didn't dare to move.

The tip of his nose was filled with the wet sea smell of the opponent's body.

Xi Ye leaned closer to the ear of the young man in his arms, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said lazily in his tone: "You saved me."

It turns out that mermaids living in the deep sea can also talk.

The mermaid is most favored by the heavens, not only has a unique appearance, but also has a beautiful voice.

Siomi was still holding the mermaid's hand in one hand, and the other was held stiffly in the air, not knowing where to put it.

In the empire, although he would abide by the law and give priority to protecting mermaids, he hadn't participated in the meeting for mermaids to choose guardians for a long time.

He thought it was because he didn't like creatures that were so delicate that they would break when touched, but if it was the mermaid in front of him, he thought, he didn't feel disgusted at all.

Xiomi, who has always been calm and unhurried, said with difficulty: "No...you saved us first, we just repay you."

After saying this, Siomi felt annoyed for a moment.

He has been in the army for a long time, and in order to control the soldiers under his command, he has long formed a cold and rigid style. Now, when facing the mermaid, even though he has tried his best to be gentle, his words are still very stiff.

Xi Ye frowned slightly.

Tsk, that's not the point he wants to say.

Xiomi always paid attention to his expression, seeing his sudden frown, her heartbeat subconsciously missed for a moment.

Xi Ye lowered his eyes, since he is the only one who can't come to the mountain, then he can only go to the mountain.

He squeezed people tighter again: "I'm curious about your human world, can I follow you?"

Originally, Xiomi thought that she was accidentally hated by the mermaid, but when she heard the mermaid said that she wanted to follow them, she was stunned for a while.

Although he thought about bringing this precious purebred mermaid back to the empire, he hesitated when he thought about whether the other party had grown up in the deep sea since he was a child, and if he left his hometown, he would not adapt.

Xiomi asked hesitantly, "Will your people be worried about you?"

Xi Ye looked up at him in surprise, then leaned back lazily: "No."

Siomi wanted to say something more, but couldn't, so he said, "Our rescue team will have to wait another hour or two."

Xi Ye said "Oh": "Have you agreed to bring me with you?"

Siomi nodded.

After a few minutes, he said with a little embarrassment: "But, can you let go first?"

Xi Ye paused, "Oh", then let go of his hands and tail as if nothing had happened, and fell into the water.

Max had a strange expression on his face. When he saw his general came back, especially when he saw the red tip of his ear, he couldn't help but coughed slightly, and approached him and asked, "General, what are you talking about? That mermaid is still here. To you so..." Max racked his brains for an adjective, "Intimate?"

Siomi said with a blank expression: "Don't ask more questions than you shouldn't ask."

"..."

Max muttered a few words in a low voice, and then couldn't help but said: "Then, shall we take him back?"

He found that the beautiful blue-tailed mermaid didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Siomi pursed her lower lip and nodded: "Yeah."

"Really?!" Max yelled out in surprise, but Xiomi glanced at him, and then quickly restrained his expression.

Xi Ye was soaking in the sea, too lazy to listen to what the humans on the shore were talking about, he yawned, and plunged into the water the next moment.

There was no mermaid figure on the sea surface, Xiomi immediately took a step forward, and then came back to realize that the other party might be bored.

By the time the rescue team arrived, Xi Ye had already woken up from a nap.

After Xiomi boarded the battleship, he mentioned a few things about Xi Ye to the leader, and under the excited expression of the other party, he turned and looked at the calm sea.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar blue figure.

Xi Ye glanced at the battleship, and rejected the proposal to go up together: "I will follow you."

Xiomi hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Okay."

In consideration of the mermaid, the speed of the battleship is not very fast, and Xi Ye can keep up without swimming at all.

Xiomi stood behind the battleship, her eyes closely following the mermaid whose tail stuck out from time to time.

Xi Ye naturally noticed his gaze, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

What's wrong with the protagonist, why keep staring at him.

The battleship sailed for two hours, and finally saw the ferry vaguely.

Xi Ye flicked his tail and exhaled.

After swimming for so long, his tail is almost numb.

With the leadership of senior officers, Xi Ye entered the Mordot Empire smoothly.

As expected, his arrival has caused a sensation in the entire empire in just half a day, and the whole country knows it.

Not only the people of the empire are very curious about the purebred mermaid that has not been seen for hundreds of years, but even those mixed-race mermaids want to see Xi Ye's appearance.

Although Xi Ye has reached the age to choose a guardian, since he has just arrived, the government has no plans to force him. On the contrary, they arranged for Xi Ye an environment that is especially suitable for mermaids, and tried their best to make him feel The warmth of family.

In the huge swimming pool, Xi Ye leaned against the white stone bricks, basked in the sun with his eyes closed, with a comfortable face, and his light blue fish tail immersed in the water.

There are plates on the side, and there are all kinds of fresh fruits on the plates.

Xi Ye casually took a fruit and took a bite.

This life is really depraved, and the only shortcoming is probably that it is too boring.

Suddenly, a head emerged from the water.

The little face with baby fat showed a cute smile, making the owner look silly.

This is a petite mermaid.

He swam to Xi Ye's side and softly shouted: "Brother Xi Ye, I'm here to play with you."

Xi Ye pinched his face and put away his coercion so as not to scare the other party.

Because purebred mermaids have natural blood pressure on mixed mermaids.

After Xi Ye finished pinching, he realized that he had rubbed the juice on the opponent's face. He was silent for two seconds, and pushed the little mermaid into the water.

Cheng Cheng shook his head in a daze, and after shaking off the water on his face, he asked Xi Ye suspiciously: "Brother Xi Ye, are you playing a game with me?"

Xi Ye responded without any guilt: "Yes, I like you so I play with you."

Cheng Cheng was so happy that she dimpled when she heard the words: "Cheng Cheng also likes brother Xi Ye!"

Xi Ye looked at his innocent appearance, and there was some complexity in his eyes.

In the original plot, Orange also became the subject of Noel Chad's experiment.

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly.

Xi Ye raised his chin towards Chengcheng, and Chengcheng pouted aggrievedly.

He hasn't stayed with his brother for a while yet, and he doesn't want to leave.

But in the end, he swam to the underwater channel.

After Cheng Cheng left, Xi Ye said, "Come in."

The person who knocked on the door was a high-level government official, and his appearance made people feel very friendly.

The middle-aged man carefully kept a distance from the mermaid in the pool, but with a smile on his face, he said gently: "I know you used to live in the deep sea, we are honored that you can come to land, in the empire Mermaids have to choose a guardian they like when they reach the specified age, you can choose if you want, of course, we are not forcing you, if you don't want to, this is your home all the time."

Xi Ye tapped the stone brick lightly with his fingertips, but did not reply for a while.

If he doesn't choose a guardian this time, Cheng Cheng will be the next mermaid who has reached the legal age, and the other party will choose Noel Chad at the meeting.

Thinking of this, Xi Ye curled his lips: "Okay, I am willing to choose a guardian."

The man smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

The door was closed again, Xi Ye narrowed his eyes.

Noel Chad, the youngest scientist...

Xi Ye sneered, flicked his tail, and the splashed water fell on the stone steps like raindrops.

……

This meeting can be said to be the most competitive one.

After all, there is only one purebred mermaid in the entire empire.

At the meeting, Xiomi's appearance surprised everyone else.

Anyone could participate, but Xiomi was the least likely, after all, he was notoriously distant and indifferent to merfolk.

Otherwise, with his status, he would have already had a mermaid of his own.

So now, is this admiral also interested in the precious purebred mermaid?

On the back side of the right row of chairs, sat a young man in a white coat, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a pen pinned to his chest.

When Xi Ye came in, he noticed him at first sight.

Noel Chad.

Xi Ye said the name silently in his heart, and raised his lips.

The handsome appearance of the mermaid made everyone present stop breathing.

This mermaid is different from the delicate mermaids in the empire. His arms and fish tail look full of strength, with a powerful aura, like a king.

But everyone could see that the other party didn't seem to have much interest in this meeting.

Xiomi couldn't help tensing up since the mermaid came in, but the other party didn't look at him, which made him a little disappointed.

After handing over the mermaid to the empire, it was difficult for him to see the other side again. Hearing that the other party planned to choose a guardian, he came here without thinking.

The high-level executive acted as the host of this meeting last time. He looked around the crowd present and paused for a second each on Xiomi and Noel.

"Old rules, you all introduce yourself."

The introduction link is to let the mermaids better understand the information of these contestants who want to run as guardians.

If one of them is selected, then there will be a one-month period of getting along with each other. If they get along well, the relationship can be confirmed. If there is a conflict in getting along, the mermaid can choose another guardian.

That sounds like a lot of perks to the merfolk.

Except for the self-introductions of the protagonist Shou and Noel Chad, the rest of the introductions to Xi Ye are basically from the left ear to the right ear.

Xi Ye didn't know why Slag Gong didn't come, but the protagonist Shou still attended the meeting.

Xiomi's introduction was very serious. As a soldier, he is not only full of sense of responsibility, allowing people to put down their guard, but also has a handsome appearance and a strong temperament. He is the first choice for the guardian of the imperial mermaid.

Many people speculated that this purebred mermaid should choose Theo Mi Lia, and they felt more or less regretful in their hearts.

however……

"I choose this Professor Noel to be my guardian."
