In the center of a resplendent palace, there is a gorgeous and extravagant pool made of white jade.The pond covers a large area, and under the dense water vapor, one can barely see from one end of the pond to the other.

Around the pool are filled with indescribable delicacies, brocade clothes, jewelry, gold and silver.

The place is brightly lit, but it is extremely mysterious. It is listed as a forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, but even the slaves with the lowest status know how much the people living in this palace are loved by the king.

"Whoa..."

In response to the sound, water splashes rose from the center of the pool, and then, a boy with an unusual appearance appeared from under the water.

The young man had a pair of stunning golden glazed eyes and a head of smooth, light blue seaweed-like long hair. His eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and his appearance was beautiful. Under the long hair were fat-like jade muscles and a well-defined collarbone.

Half-hidden under the long hair rippling with water, it is beautiful and gorgeous.

It is said that his appearance is different from ordinary people, but it is better to say that he is beautiful and different from ordinary people.

The young man looked around, a moment of confusion flashed in his soul-stirring eyes, and then he tentatively swam out from the center of the pool.

When I got closer, I realized that what was swimming in the water was not a leg, but a fish tail!

This boy is not a mortal, but a mermaid!

According to legend, it is a mysterious and beautiful creature that lives on the bottom of the East China Sea.

Holding the jade bi with one hand, the young man looked curiously at the items by the pool, and when he saw the plates of fragrant food, he tilted his head and smiled.The sea-blue fish tail slaps the water surface, and the colorful and gorgeous fish scales are shining brightly under the illumination of the warm-colored wall lamps.

He leaned out a little, reaching out to grab the food on the shore, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, the mermaid's natural instinct made him evacuate subconsciously, and quickly hid in the center of the pool.

It was a man.

The man gently pushed open the carved mahogany door, dressed in flowing white clothes, and came in with something in his hand. The mermaid boy sank in the water, staring at him intently with his golden eyes.

The man walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the tiny ripples in the middle of the water that hadn't dissipated, curled his lips into a silent chuckle, then squatted down, opened the wooden box, and brought out the contents and placed them one by one beside the pool.

The young man looked at the plump, attractively colored fruits on the plate, and his tail fin at the bottom of the water moved slightly.

The man seemed to be unaware that there were other living beings in this palace, he just picked up the fruit and opened his mouth to send it in.

Through the water waves, the young man seemed to be able to see that the round purple-red fruit would be bitten in the man's mouth in the next second, and then burst into sweet and moist juice.

After hesitating several times, he couldn't help but swim forward slowly.

He poked his head out, stared at the fruit on the man's fingertips, and asked after a long time, "The one you ate...is it delicious?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was as clear and melodious as an orchid in an empty valley, and like a gurgling stream after the ice and snow melted in spring.

The man withdrew his arm, handed the small fruit on his fingertips to the boy, and looked at him with a smile.

"Why don't you try it yourself?"

Hearing this, the young man shifted his gaze from the man's fingertips to his face. The man has black hair and black eyes. He is just an ordinary human being, but he is as good-looking as his clansmen, especially the pair of slightly raised peach blossoms. Eyes, looking at a person intently, appear gentle and affectionate.

With such eyes, the boy had no reason to have a good impression of him, so he stretched out his hand to take the fruit, and put it in his mouth without the slightest doubt.

The sharp teeth pierced the thin coat of the fruit. The sweetness was slightly sour, and the incomparably fragrant juice filled the mouth in an instant. The taste of the fruit was as wonderful as he had imagined.

It's just... why does this taste seem familiar?

The young man tilted his head, confusion flashed in his golden eyes, but before he had time to think about it, another fruit appeared in front of his eyes.

The man handed it directly to his mouth and said, "Little mermaid, come on, open your mouth."

The voice was gentle and clear, with some indulgence in it that seemed to be able to seduce people's hearts.

The young man froze for a moment, opened his mouth subconsciously, and obediently swallowed the fruit and the man's fingertips.

The mermaid family lived in the deep sea all year round, and their body temperature was lower than that of humans. The wet and cool touch of the fingertips made the man stunned.

But soon the little mermaid let go, and before he let go, he licked away the juice flowing from the man's fingertips with the tip of his pink and tender tongue, and his pair of extremely pure glazed eyes were filled with the aftertaste of enjoying the sweetness.

Even after reminiscing, he looked at the man eagerly, wanting to have another one.

He didn't notice the eyes of the man in front of him at all, it was already rolling darkly.

The little mermaid is harmless to humans and animals, without the slightest defense...it makes people want to do bad things.

The man unhurriedly picked up the whole plate of fruit and held it up in front of him: "Little mermaid, tell me your name, these are all yours."

"My name?" The boy was taken aback.

"Name..." The young man muttered these two words, his pupils suddenly lost focus, and seemed to be trying to remember, but his mind was empty.

It's like forgetting something important.

The man stroked his long hair and said softly, "Don't worry, think slowly."

This sentence seemed to have magical power, instantly soothing the chaotic mood of the mermaid, and then as if something was torn apart, some images suddenly flashed in the boy's mind.

Intermittent, coherent, incoherent.

The boy finally remembered what his name was.

"Father said... when I was born, there was a vision on the bottom of the sea. I was surrounded by a dazzling white light when I was a newborn cub. The light illuminated the bottom of the sea like the day in the world. From a distance, it was like the night sky. The brightest planetesimals in the vast galaxy gathered and collided together, burning with an incomparably dazzling light...then fell into the deep sea."

"Xing Ran." The young man grinned, showing a pair of sharp and small teeth, remembering his name, with a little joy in his tone.

"My name is Xing Ran."

"Xing Ran..." The man repeated the name, then rolled his eyes, and passed the fruit plate to the little mermaid as promised, "Little mermaid, your name is not bad."

"Where's your name?" the little mermaid asked with fruit stuffed in her mouth, not forgetting to look up at the man.

"Me?" The man curled his lips into a smile, looked into Xing Ran's eyes and said, "Li Jue, my name is Li Jue."
