Picked up a deep sea lord

A little mermaid with black hair and red eyes nestled in Ye Jian's arms, obedient, cute and cute.

While Ye Jian wasn't paying attention, he secretly rubbed him with the tail of a fish.

Ye Jian: Tail flick again!Unscrupulous Pisces!

Ye Jian patted Luo Ling on the head, looked at his dangling pointed tail, and murmured, "Speaking of which, do you want to wrap you up with a small cloak?"

Humans on land are very afraid of mermaids. If he just carried Luo Ling out like this, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Luo Ling immediately shook her head when she heard the words: "I don't want a small cloak, the cloak will block my sight, I still want to see my brother."

Ye Jian: "Then, take a small quilt to wrap you up?"

Luo Ling nodded, thinking of something again, his eyes lit up: "I'll take my brother over there!"

He showed Ye Jian the way and brought Ye Jian to a small palace.

The palace was uninhabited, but it was still as clean as new.Ye Jian pushed the door open and walked in, only to find that the place was empty except for a box with a few odd things in it.

He took them out one by one.

A snow-white blanket that looked a bit old, but still fluffy, soft and clean.

One black and one white, two bracelet-like things.

A roll of bandages.

A little yellow duck.

Ye Jian: "What is this?"

He picked up the small blanket, shook it, and put it on Luo Ling.

The blanket hangs down smoothly, but it's just not long enough, and a little bit of the tip of the tail will leak out.

Ye Jian: "It seems a bit short."

Luo Ling: "Not short."

After speaking, he became a little smaller.

Make it smaller again.

The fluffy blanket just wrapped the little mermaid and perfectly covered the little tail.

Ye Jian: It's so cute to grow bigger and smaller!

He smiled and said, "If you turn back into a mermaid, this blanket can also serve as a handsome cape for you."

Luo Ling's expression was a little disgusted immediately, and he murmured to Ye Jian: "I think this is very good."

Ye Jian: Great.

There were big pockets on both sides of the blanket. Ye Jian planned to put the rest of the things into the pockets, and said while tidying up, "Is this what you brought back from land?"

Luo Ling nodded: "My brother gave these to me, I kept them very well, none of them were broken!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his face, full of anticipation.

To boast!

Ye Jian was slightly taken aback.

It turned out that the little mermaid still kept what he left five years ago.

... I don't know how Luo Ling felt when he stayed alone in this cold room and looked through these things all these years.

Ye Jian felt a little guilty in her heart, and she showed a gentle smile when she met Luo Ling's expectant eyes: "I praise you, everything is as good as new, it's great!"

Luo Ling happily pressed her forehead against him.

Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling tightly, and picked up a white bracelet: "What is this?"

Luo Ling: "It's a communication bracelet, something that humans use to communicate."

Ye Jian remembered that Chen Rao and the others he met before also had this kind of bracelet, and he had seen how they used it.

So he picked up the black one and put it on Luo Ling's wrist, and tapped the white bracelet lightly.

With a "beep", the communication bracelet lit up a small light screen in this room isolated from sea water.

Ye Jian was shocked: "It still works!"

He raised his hand and swiped a few times between the light screens, and clicked on the first thing called address book.

There is only one name in the address book, and there is a small asterisk next to it, which means special attention.

Ye Jian: "I only have you in my address book."

Luo Ling looked at him: "That's right, there is only my brother in my address book."

As he spoke, he opened his black bracelet, and in the address book, there was also a little star next to the only name.

Ye Jian: "That's great."

He put on the communication bracelet, and his eyes fell on the white bandage.

Ye Jian: You can use this to wrap around the wound of this little fish, so as not to be bumped by him when he walks in his arms.

He picked up a bandage, and although he hadn't used it before, he tore off one very skillfully, and gently wrapped it around Luo Ling's fish tail and the wound that had lost its reverse scale.

Ye Jian: "Does it hurt?"

Luo Ling shook his head.

Ye Jian then wrapped it around a few times with confidence, and tied a beautiful bow at the end.

Luo Ling stared fixedly at the bow on the fish's tail. A few seconds later, she happily buried herself in Ye Jian's arms and rubbed back and forth, the tip of her tail swaying rapidly.

Ye Jian: Little happy fish.

The last thing left in the box was a slightly shriveled rubber duck.

Ye Jian: "This is quite cute."

After speaking, I reached out to take it.

Snapped.

Luo Ling suddenly leaned over and held his wrist.

Ye Jian cast a puzzled look at him: "What's the matter?"

"You can't touch this!"

Luo Ling looked serious.

"This is a mechanism on the bottom of the sea. If you touch it, the sea will flow backwards and the sea will be destroyed!"

Ye Jian: "???"

so scary? !

Ye Jian just felt incredible: "Really?"

Luo Ling nodded heavily.

"Then..." Ye Jian lowered her head, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was just a little yellow duck that was thrown here casually, "Why do you put such an important thing here?"

Luo Ling was silent for a few seconds: "Because there is the strictest barrier in the entire royal city, no one can step in except my brother and me, and no one can open this box."

Ye Jian was stunned when she heard that: "Really?"

Luo Ling: "Really."

Then, taking advantage of Ye Jian's unpreparedness, he quickly closed the box.

thump.

The little yellow duck was sealed with a heavy cover, and Luo Ling also let out a long sigh of relief.

"Now, it has been sealed again."

The little mermaid said seriously.

"Brother, let's get out of here quickly."

Ye Jian: "..."

It looks scary!

But what's wrong!

Ye Jian picked up Luo Ling, hesitated, and walked out slowly.

The palace gate was closed, Luo Ling was wrapped in a small blanket, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

That little yellow duck is not cute, ugly, not as good as him at all!

If it wasn't for what Ye Jian left him, he would definitely throw it away!

Ye Jian looked down at him at this moment.

Luo Ling's smile subsided instantly, and she put on a serious face: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"No," Ye Jian said without changing her tone, "Didn't you just say that the box was full of things I gave you?"

"In this case, how can it become a mechanism that can destroy the sea?"

It's all because of what the little mermaid said just now was so scary, which caused him to ignore this point.

Luo Ling was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and said, "Because..."

"I miss my brother very much, and I think about others when I see things, so I made it into such an institution."

Ye Jian: "?"

Is that how you miss me?

Ye Jian raised her brows slightly, and Luo Ling said again at this moment: "Brother, let's go quickly, it's getting late."

Then he shook Ye Jian's hand.

She looked at him with soft and cute eyes, without blinking.

Ye Jian: ...cute little fish.

Alright, what you say is what you say.

Although he felt a little strange, he still carried Luo Ling and left here without looking at the little yellow duck again.

Luo Ling quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

They swam to the top of the sea, and not long after, the Huanghuang King City fell below, shining like a thousand miles of stars and the Milky Way.

Ye Jian: It's so pretty.

It won't be long before they'll be back.

The brilliance of the royal city gradually faded under the sea, Ye Jian poked the little mermaid in his arms: "I really have to go, spit some bubbles and see."

Luo Ling grumbled.

Strings of small bubbles floating in the sea, kind of... oddly shaped.

Ye Jian was silent.

Is it because I haven't spit bubbles for a few days?Why is it even uglier.

Luo Ling was also silent, and after a few seconds, he gurgled again.

A crooked, barely heart-shaped bubble floated out.

Crack, broken in a second.

One man and one fish were silent again.

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Ye Jian looked at the angry little mermaid in front of her, and patted his head with a suppressed smile: "It's okay, maybe it's just that I haven't practiced for too long."

Luo Ling was a little reconciled, made a sullen face, and gurgled again.

Another ugly bubble.

even uglier.

Luo Ling: "!"

why!

Didn't he just not practice for a few days and just think about how to hug Ye Jian!

The little mermaid became even angrier immediately, and flicked its tail in displeasure.

He hates bubbling!Fish shouldn't spit bubbles!

...But Ye Jian likes it.

……

Let him practice again.

In just a few seconds, Luo Ling's mood was ups and downs, and finally put her soft face on Ye Jian's shoulder, muttering: "When I get to land, I will definitely blow beautiful bubbles for my brother!"

Ye Jian smiled: "Just look good, not ugly."

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling: "Know... know..."

Ye Jian turned her head away, her shoulders trembling slightly.

The two swam up all the way, the blue sky looming through the clear water, Ye Jian gently stretched out his hand, touching the surface of the sea where the light was falling.

At this moment, his eyes shook slightly, and a picture suddenly flashed.

Under the blood-red sky, an ancient tree that was as black as a curtain of death rose from the ground, its branches were bare, its bark was raised and protruding, and a human face with strangely bright red lips and abnormally white skin emerged. .

In the next second, it was as if a thunderbolt descended from the sky, splitting the ancient tree. The rough bark was split into several inches, the branches were burned, and the human face screamed silently. This ugly and strange ancient tree was also uprooted. , collapsed.

The dead old trees slowly sank into the mud, but clear water seeped out from under the mud, and the flawless water overflowed upwards, turning into a lake in a blink of an eye.The surface of the lake is like an inverted mirror, reflecting the clear blue sky.

The picture was fixed at this moment, and Ye Jian came back to her senses, as if she had experienced a big dream, and her eyes were still a little dazed.

What were those... just now?

His thoughts only paused for a second, and suddenly became clear.

That is the Lake of Twilight.

The location of the legendary lake they were looking for had already appeared.

Ye Jian lowered her head again, and there was a deep deep sea below, and the royal city of the mermaid clan had long been hidden under the waves, without a trace.

However, across the dark sea area, the altar dotted with pearls from the deep sea seemed to appear in Ye Jian's vision again. On the altar, the statues of gods stood quietly.

"Ye Jian?"

Luo Ling's voice rang close to her ears, and Ye Jian turned her head away.

Luo Ling's eyes were heavy, and she stared at him closely.

From his perspective, Ye Jian just paused for a second, that's all.

But he still sensed that something was wrong at that second, and grabbed Ye Jian's hand tightly.

Ye Jian met the little mermaid's eyes and smiled reassuringly: "I'm fine."

"Just now, the gods seem to have told me the location of the Twilight Lake."

He told Luo Ling what he saw.

After hearing this, Luo Ling was silent for a few seconds, and said, "In other words, only when that strange tree is destroyed can the Lake of Dusk reappear in the world."

Ye Jian: "It should be like this."

In the cave where he wakes up, there is a beautiful ancient tree covered with crystals, shining brightly, like the condensation of light.

But just now, the pitch-black ancient tree that appeared in his eyes was deformed and strange, exuding an ominous atmosphere, like a collection of mud.

Between the two, is there any connection?

Is it one, or is it opposite?

Ye Jian made several guesses in his heart, and said, "Anyway, let's go to land first and look for clues."

Luo Ling nodded: "Okay."

Although he couldn't figure out the answer for the time being, as long as he was with Ye Jian, he would feel at ease.

Ye Jian pulled Luo Ling's blanket to cover the bottom point of the fish's tail.

The little mermaid huddled in the furry blanket like a little ball.

Ye Jian walked a few steps, looked down at him, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Little fish ball, if I sprinkle some salt, I can take one bite at a time."

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling raised her face innocently: "I'll give it to my brother, so will my brother eat it for me?"

Ye Jian: "Not at all."

After finishing speaking, he quickly added: "You can't eat people, and you can't be bad fish."

Luo Ling obediently: "Oh—"

At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart: It's not the kind of "eating".

It's that kind!

The waves rolled up the snow-white foam and fell on the golden sand.A pale and beautiful young man hugged a beautiful little boy, followed the waves silently, and set foot on the land.

The sun was shining warmly on her body, and Luo Ling nestled softly in Ye Jian's arms, narrowing her eyes comfortably.

After walking a few steps, he heard Ye Jian say "Oh!" "Oops."

Luo Ling raised her face: "What's the matter?"

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling's face: "Did we bring any money?"

He remembered that they came out with nothing but the contents of the suitcase.

But in human cities, it costs money.

Luo Ling seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said, "Yes."

Then he raised his hand casually, and pulled out a few shiny gold coins from his body as if by magic.

"To brother!"

Ye Jian: Hey, it's the same as last time, so amazing!

Ye Jian took the gold coins in surprise, hugged Luo Ling, looked left and right: "Where did you conjure it? It's amazing!"

Luo Ling flicked the fish's tail a little triumphantly, and said, "I'm already very good."

Then he flipped his hand again, and there was a handful of red sea fruits in his palm.

"Give it to brother again!"

Ye Jian: "!"

Magical fish!

Quickly pick it up and shake it.

Shake again.

Luo Ling: "?"

"Little fish, little fish," Ye Jian said solemnly, "I want a hundred beautiful bubbles, give them to me quickly."

Then shake again.

Luo Ling: "..."
