Changsheng comforted him with an unclear tone: "This is not a difficult thing."
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. In the final analysis, a mermaid is just a fish that looks very similar to a human being."
"Cats love to eat fish, birds eat fish, and humans also eat fish. It's nothing more than the law of the jungle, natural selection, and survival of the fittest."
"You just need to take her back to the palace, cut open her chest, and take out her heart..."
"Your mother needs this medicine primer. The ordinary mermaid's heart is not enough to cure her illness. Only this snow-white deep sea mermaid, only her heart can."
"Your kind-hearted Prince, the life of a fish or the life of a human being, which is more important, you have your own decision in your heart, right?"
Ji Yuan felt chilled all over in the warm evening wind. He glanced at the brightly lit garden in the distance, and his mother's painful wail seemed to be ringing in his ears.
He took one last look at the bright moon in the night sky and jumped down lightly, as if he was eager to escape from something.
In the cold night wind, the melodious ballad echoed in his mind, and the sweet voice hummed the ancient melody, as if it came from heaven.
And he wants to drag this beautiful life into hell...
The wizard in black looked up at the moon, chanted something in a low voice, and disappeared on the glazed tiles of the palace in the blink of an eye, like a black sigh that struck directly at sin.
——
A few days later, Ji Yuan successfully brought Bai He back.
In the past few days, he had been squatting and guarding day after day, but he didn't know that after Bai He sneaked out last time, he came home too late and was caught by his mother. In order not to be stopped by his mother when he went out next time, Bai He went out of his way to behave well.
It went on for a few days, but I never sneaked out to play.
On this day, Bai He met this human again and was completely attracted by the food in his hand.
However, how can a meat bun satisfy Bai He's appetite?
In order to eat more meat buns, Bai He followed the young man to Liuli Yuehe.
Why does mother always not let Bai He go out? If Bai He could be like other mermaids, not so conspicuous and not so easy to deceive, there would be no problem for her to go out freely. But the bad thing is that she is too conspicuous, and
Too easy to deceive——
Of course, this does not mean that her mind is too simple.
But on the other hand, just show her something that interests her, such as——
Delicious food!
As long as he brings out delicious food to tempt her, Bai He's brain will shut down, and she can't help but follow the food with the alluring aroma.
When she was put into the water tank, she had a vague premonition.
Humans don't want to capture her and do some bad things, right?
Well, looking at the empty rice bowls floating on the water, Bai He knocked on the water tank above his head to indicate how they should deliver food to him.
Sure enough, after a while, a bowl full of delicious food was delivered.
Bai He ate happily.
Hmm, this one is probably still very small. Bai He was eating and thinking, what bad things can he do if he catches her? She is a mermaid, and she has no kidneys to give to humans! What can humans do if they catch her?
She was carried to a splendid palace. In the center of the palace was a huge pool. The pool was scattered with colorful corals, and each coral was inlaid with a fist-sized luminous pearl.
Bai He jumped into the big swimming pool from the water tank. With a sweep of his tail, he swept these dazzling night pearls to the edge.
She is a mermaid, not a human. Even if there is no light, she can see everything in front of her clearly. After all, she lives in the deep sea where light cannot penetrate.
Ji Yuan squatted by the pool, and Bai He swam over and rubbed his outstretched hand very naturally. Humans seemed to like touching their heads very much. Whenever Bai He took the initiative to stretch his head over to touch him, his expression was abnormal.
of gentle pleasure.
He won't pretend to be indifferent like other times.
"I..." Ji Yuan looked into her eyes tenderly, but hesitated to speak.
Bai He learned the human smile. At this time, a smile appeared on his jade-like face, and he said in human language: "Go early and come back early!"
Bai He is used to it. Ji Yuan will always disappear for a period of time and then come back safe and sound. Maybe fragile humans can't be like mermaids who can't sleep for three days and still be energetic, right?
Although Bai He has never seen Ji Yuan sleepy, let alone what he did.
Ji Yuan looked at her complicatedly, and there was still a soft and silky touch in his palm, a touch unique to the sea.
Bai He suddenly discovered that the tips of the young man's curly black hair were glowing with a few rays of silver light. When he looked carefully, it was gone again. It seemed to be just her illusion.
The young man didn't say anything. He became more and more silent day by day. Human emotions are always very complicated. Bai He didn't feel surprised by this.
After the young man left, she lay down at the bottom of the pool.
——
What happened was that one night, Bai He successfully left the Silver Kingdom.
The witch waiting at the golden bay was wearing the iconic silver-gray robe of the sea next door, with a smile on her face: "My beautiful friend, have you got the thing?"
Bai He cleared her throat, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her voice was unreasonably charming: "Thanks to you, Sea Witch, I have got what I want."
"Excuse me, I'm very curious, what does this person's heart feel like?"
"Just so-so." Bai He replied.
"That's a fresh half-demon heart," the witch covered her red lips and giggled.
"You didn't tell me that the person who almost ruined my good fortune was your brother." Bai He said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey! -" The witch's voice was incomprehensible, "What kind of brother is he? He and I are not born from the same mother. The brother whose heart you ate is the same mother as him. But don't
Tell me, I have helped you so much, but you want to abandon me and marry him?"
Bai He shook his head and sighed: "You know, from beginning to end, I only want what I deserve."
As they talked, the two came to the island in the golden bay, and relaxed on the high rocks with their tails exposed.
The witch cast a wink at Bai He charmingly: "Ah~ Such a booming ambition. I'm really afraid that you will choose to become a male when you grow up... I don't want to fence with you."
Bai He's eyes widened: "How is this possible? I worked so hard to get this heart, isn't it just to get the power I deserve with my truest appearance? Otherwise, why would I harm others?
"
"Ah! Then I can safely court you as a male. Can you give priority to my invitation?"
"Well, this is it." Bai He blinked.
In the waves, a sailboat approached, and Bai He raised his upper body warily.
The young man on the boat looked at her sadly, covering his chest with his right hand, but deep red blood flowed out from the gap, mixed with blue blood.
As we all know, mermaids are blue-blooded creatures.
"Bai He..." The young man's voice was gentle and affectionate, as if calling his beloved lover.
Bai He frowned and looked at him, interrupting him: "From the beginning, everything was fake."
"...I don't believe it." A sad cloud appeared in the young man's dark eyes.
Bai He looked at him indifferently: "I know who you are, I know you are the half-fish, half-human son of my aunt and the human king."
"Due to the flaws in the power I inherited, I was born with a stutter. If I want to compete for the position of leader, I must have the full power of my bloodline."
"Unlike other mermaid families, my aunt and my mother are twins. Each of them divided half of the power of the older generation. What I am missing is the half of the power that my aunt divided. I need the child she gave birth to.
The power of the mermaid."
"Originally, I thought that the thing was in the child she gave birth to and the mermaid leader next door. I didn't expect that this child didn't inherit half of the power but was still ridiculously strong. There was no room for me to develop in him.
."
"Fortunately, your mother eloped with a human and gave birth to you."
"I need your...power."
"It is stored in the heart of the mermaid, that is, your heart."
