Chapter 17: Accepting the Trial

Yu Gu was wearing a tight cloak and clothes, and in addition to a pair of eyes that could not see his body clearly, Shark Tian Tian also mistook him for a former craftsman.

"You're alone today, what about your master?" asked the shark Tiantian innocently.

"The master is not here today. The fish intestine calmed down and answered the mermaid princess's question.

"Then I'm sorry for you, my father accidentally broke the armrest of the coral chair before, and that's it. The shark pointed to a coral chair every day, and the armrest of the coral chair fell to the ground. The fish intestine has not yet figured out how to take the mermaid princess out, so he has to pretend to repair the furniture first. Yu Gu didn't dare to show his face in the town, and kept covering his face in the chair. But he didn't know how to repair the craft, and he kept tinkering there, and when he saw the fish intestines clumsy, the shark let out a hearty laugh every day, and this laughter also touched his heart even more. Such a simple girl, with no power to restrain the chicken, if she stays with a behemoth like Pan, her life may be at stake. Yu Gu does have his own plans, but he doesn't want to involve innocent people in his plan.

He still decided to tell the truth to the shark every day.

Yu Gu put down the tools in his hand, walked in front of Shark Tiantian, took off his mask in front of her, and took off his cloak. Shark Tiantian was also surprised when she saw that she was not a familiar person in front of her, and then instinctively wanted to shout, but after the fish intestine made a "shhhh

"Who are you?" asked the shark Tiantian.

"Hello princess, first time we met, my name is fish intestine, I'm not here to harm you. ”

"Fish intestines? is your name? Looks like you're from the Jiao clan. ”

"Actually, I am a descendant of humans and Jiao. ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen Jiao and human children. Is there something wrong with you sneaking in to see me like that?"

The fish intestine was silent for a while, and finally told the shark every day what happened, and the shark Tiantian was first angry after hearing it, saying that Jiaoren's dead nature did not change, and then understood what the fish intestine did, after all, in her eyes, the fish intestine was just a child. She won't hold him accountable, as for Yu Gu wanting to take her to the abyss, in fact, Shark Tiantian didn't resent this matter, because she hadn't left this castle for a long time. She spends her birthday in this castle every year, and the Mermaid King's protection of her sometimes seems more like a bondage.

"You said you wanted to take me out, is that true?"

"Yes, according to Ao Chong, Pan will be bewitched by the beautiful mermaid so that I will have a chance to touch Dragon Ball. That's why I got here, but I really didn't want to take you away in any violent way. ”

"Actually, I want to go out too. If there were no special circumstances, I wouldn't have been able to leave here, would I? If I went out quietly and then came back quietly, my father would not blame me, and you are a Jiaoren, and no matter how angry my father is, he will not dare to touch Jiaoren. ”

"The princess means that she promised to go out with me?"

"Okay, just make a friend and go out and have fun. ”

"This can't be regarded as child's play, I've never seen that sea beast, if it's an extremely ferocious beast, I'm afraid it will hurt you. ”

"Will you protect me, then?"

Hearing this, many memories were shuttling in his mind, and he suddenly asked, "Does the princess hate humans?"

"Anyway, I can't say that I hate it, after all, I don't have any contact with humans. However, the races of the sea hate the creatures on land, feeling that they are inferior and cannot breathe in the water. ”

"Then what does the princess think of the demons like?"

"Demons, listen to my father and grandfather, the demons seem to be our enemies, and they have fought with the demons before, and many mermaids have died. It shouldn't be a good kind. ”

"The princess regards me as a friend when we meet in Pingshui, and Yu Gu also regards the princess as a friend, and I will definitely protect your safety. And the princess is the second friend I made. ”

"And who was your first friend?"

"It's a demon. As soon as the shark heard that the fish intestine had made friends with the demon clan, his face suddenly changed, and then the fish intestine told him not to worry and let him continue.

"At first, my mother fled from the deep sea, and it was not easy for a human to survive from the deep sea to the land, and my mother died after giving birth to me. I live with a group of humans, and that group of humans have long known that I am a descendant of the Jiao clan, they don't mind my identity, and spent more than ten years happily with me, and then I knew my background and wanted to seek revenge on the Jiaoren. That's when I met a demon. He is from the Demon Sea Clan, he looks like a shark, and he actually has a kind heart under his stern appearance, so he promised me to help me find Jiaoren to get justice, and at that time, Yu Gu regarded him as a big brother and a best friend. It's a pity that it backfired, and on the way back to the mainland from Laiguo, he was taken back to Qianlong by Ao Guang, the third prince of the Jiao clan, and I also learned about my father there, that is, the murderer of my mother, Jiaowang Ao Gang. Although Ao Guang took me back to the Jiaoren world and made me adapt to the environment here, I could see that he had ulterior motives, and he wanted to use me just like Ao Chong. So, princess, I want to tell you that the character of a person cannot be known from mere impressions and the mouths of others, but must be experienced by oneself. Since the princess believes me, I will take you out, and then return to Zhao. ”

Fish intestines and sharks talk in the room every day about how to get out of the castle safely.

Twenty guards were still guarding the castle at the gate, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and the shark Tian Tian struggled to shout outside: "Come on, there are assassins!" The guards who heard the call for help immediately opened the door, and after opening the door, the shark Tian Tian threw himself into the guard's arms. Shark Tian Tian cried and said, "That craftsman is an assassin just now, he is inside, you go in quickly, lock the door, and don't let the assassin escape." ”

The guard looked inside the house and saw the man in the cloak standing in the corner. Twenty guards rushed into the house at once, closing the door to prevent the Assassins from escaping. When the guard entered the house, he found the Assassin standing in the corner of the wall without making a move, and the guard shouted to him: "Bold Assassin, dare to assassinate the mermaid princess, and capture him without restraint!" The guard waited for the Assassin's reply, only to find the Assassin standing motionless. One of the guards stepped forward cautiously and ripped open the other's clothes with his spear. No one appeared when the clothes were removed, but a hanger supported the cloak, making it look like a person was standing. The guard looked back and thought something was wrong, and was about to open the door, only to find that the door could not be opened no matter how hard he tried. When the door was closed, the shark and fish intestines outside had already locked the door with a key. Shark Tiantian and Yu Gut who successfully locked the guards in the castle snickered, this was the first time that Shark Tiantian did such a naughty thing, which made her feel very happy. Locked in the door, the guards kept shouting to the shark Tiantian, telling her to open the door and never go out. Shark Tiantian also understood the difficulties of these guards, and said to them: "This princess just wants to go out and have fun, and I will come back to open the door when I have fun." You've been guarding the door and you've been working hard, but I have a lot of desserts in my room, so you should relax. The shark left the princess's mansion with the fish intestines every day, and let the guards keep knocking on the door.

Hearing no sound outside the door, it seems that the princess has really left. One of the guards asked the chief of the guard, "What should we do, sir, if we let the king know that we are not optimistic about the princess, we will not end well, right?"

The head of the guard was also helpless, and he couldn't imagine that their twenty big men were actually tricked by a girl. He said to the warriors beside him: "Anyway, if the king knows about it, it will be death, it is better to be a full ghost, we will let go of eating, and when we are full, we will go on the road." I tell you, these desserts are all tributes from the royal family, and they are all unblessed in this life, and it is worth dying if you can eat a royal dessert once. The other guards had no better idea, for the castle was already impregnable, and they agreed to the guard's proposal, and everyone gathered around the table to eat the princess's snacks.

The sharks had already walked out of the palace under the leadership of the fish intestines, but it was not easy for them to get out of the guards guarding the enchantment of the Sinking Fish Country. Yu Gu thought of the method that Man Zhouzi had mentioned to him before, he bought a shell that could hold the princess in the bazaar, let the princess get into the shell, and then pretended to buy the shell to bring back to the Hidden Dragon Kingdom. Outside the barrier, the guards stopped him. The guard asked, "Hello, dare to ask what's in the shell?"

The fish intestine replied: "It's just a special product of the mermaid country, bring it back to the Jiaoren country to enjoy." ”

"Then I bother you to open it and let us take a look, although Jiaoren is a guest of our country, but according to the rules of the mermaid country, all items in and out must be inspected. ”

The fish intestines are a little difficult, after all, if the other party sees the mermaid princess in the shell after opening it, they will definitely not be able to get out. The fish intestine had to say: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient." ”

"Isn't it just a specialty, what's inconvenient. The guards were about to make a move when they saw that the fish intestines were reluctant to open the shell, when the shell opened, and a hand came out of it, startling the two guards.

"Is your specialty a living person?" the guard aimed his weapon at the fish intestines, and the fish intestines were in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "You don't know, isn't the best specialty of the mermaid country the beautiful mermaid?" In fact, I have long had feelings for a woman in the mermaid country, but the other party's parents didn't allow it, so I thought about taking her to elope to the Qianlong country and be a pair of happy mandarin ducks. Concealing the two is just afraid that the other party's parents will know, so they come up and arrest the lover back, and the lovers can't be together from then on. ”

The guard was discerning whether the fish intestines were lying or not, and he shouted to the man in the shell, "Girl in the shell, is this Jiaoren telling the truth?" The guard understood why there was a woman in the shell. Shark Tiantian knew that mermaids could not go abroad without permission, and she thought of a way to get the guards to let them pass.

The shark retracted his hand into the shell every day, and then took out two pearls from the shell to give to the guards. The guard took the pearl, and it was crystal clear, and even shone brightly.

"The glowing pearl is the pearl of the night, big brother! Aren't you about to get married, the woman's family has always said that you are a soldier without a house, and they look down on you, and this one can make you raise your eyebrows!" one of the guards immediately saw the value of the pearl and said to the other hesitant guard.

"Shut up, if you let them know, we won't be killed. ”

The fish intestine immediately saw the stitches and said: "Don't worry about the two of you, I live in the Qianlong Kingdom, and I have something to do with the third prince Ao Guang, but if anyone is embarrassed by the two of you, I will ask the third prince to let you get out of the way." It's not easy for you to be a guard, today is also a rare time for me and my lover to get together, I heard my brother just said that you are about to get married, I think you also know the pain of people who are happy with each other can't be together, right? The fish intestines were so good that they reached the hearts of the guards, and the guards finally stuffed the pearls into their clothes and let them pass.

After leaving the confines of the Sinking Fish Country, the fish intestines open the shells and let the sharks come out of it every day. As soon as the shark came out every day, she laughed heartily, and the fish intestines were puzzled, so she asked her why she was laughing.

"Hahaha, it's really funny, look at your age is only a little over ten years old, I'm a round older than you, you just cheekily said that I am your lover, it's so funny. Hahaha. ”

"Hey, this is all a helpless move, Princess Gao Pan said those nonsense words, don't mind the princess. ”

"Of course I mind, I'm a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, how can I be called a lover casually. When you grow up, you must marry me. ”

"The princess will stop making jokes about fish intestines. ”

"I'm not kidding. Instead of asking me to marry a beast like Ao Chong, it's better to be with you, only you really understand me, and you will take me out if I want to come out. The shark looked at the vast sea every day, and there was a trace of melancholy in his heart, "After the mermaid dies, its body will float to the bottom of the sea and be eaten by the fish." My father said that mermaids were born from the sea and would return to the sea when they died. My mother died in the depths of the sea......"

Looking at the shark Tiantian who missed his mother, Yu Gu also missed his mother in his heart, and his mother had no grave, and sank into the sea after giving birth to him. Such a kind girl, he really couldn't bear to bring her to the vicious Pan, he said to the shark Tiantian: "You go, go back after a lap." ”

"What's the matter, don't you need me?"

"I don't want to use you, I think I still have to rely on my own strength to achieve my goals, Pan is a fierce beast, I don't necessarily have the strength to protect you, your father will also worry about you, or go back?"

"No, how can you be a man of your word without believing it. You helped me get out of that dull place, and I will naturally repay you. I'll tell you, I'm in the castle every day, and the mermaid general comes to train me, so that I can defend myself next time I encounter gangsters. Ordinary sea beasts can't help me. And, I want to stay with you a little longer, okay?" Looking at the shark Tiantian's clear eyes, as if there was an elf begging him, Yu Gu could only agree to rush to the place where the shark was with the shark.

As soon as he approached the shark, the shark noticed that someone was approaching him. He raised his head from his slumber and watched the fish intestines and sharks swim towards him every day.

"I haven't seen you, why do you have Ao Gang's blood on your body?"

"Lord Shark, I am the youngest son of the Jiao King, and you may not have seen me before. ”

"What's the matter with me?"

"Lord Hui, in fact, my father was seriously ill a few days ago, unable to speak, unable to move his limbs, and unable to decide the heir of the Neptune Halberd, so our brothers decided to come to you to undergo the trial to decide who can become the successor of the Neptune Halberd. ”

"Ao Gang, kid, has it come to this point? It's really useless, wouldn't it be so much if you choose an heir early. Well, since you are his son, you have the right to come to the trial, but this mermaid beside you ......"

Yu Gu didn't know how to explain the identity of the shark Tiantian for a while, the shark Tiantian was still immersed in the majesty of the shark at the beginning, as soon as her identity was mentioned, she immediately said: "I am his daughter-in-law!" As soon as these words came out, even the fish intestine himself was stunned, thinking that you should communicate with yourself before talking nonsense, isn't it impossible for you to say that you are too young, it seems that you enjoy it very much.

After listening to this, the shark smiled and said: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to bring my family with me, it doesn't matter, even if you are a descendant of hard work, you may not be able to come back alive." Let me tell you, Pan has been guarding the Dragon Balls in the abyss for more than a hundred years, and he is very bored now, and if he sees you, he will definitely eat you half to death. Don't think that the descendants of the hard work think that trials are very casual. After saying that, the shark swam up, "Follow me, I'll take you there." ”

The two of them swam behind the shark and came all the way to the abyss under the sea.

At the bottom of the sea, more than a dozen stone pillars appeared, and in the middle of the stone pillars, a stone platform was placed on a stone bead that glowed with blue light, and that jewel was the Dragon Ball.

"As long as you can touch the Dragon Balls, you will pass the trial. After the shark finished speaking, he left, and the fish intestine and the shark looked at the bright orb every day, and behind them was the black who couldn't see the five fingers.

Shark Tiantian felt a little scared at this time, and unconsciously held the hand of the fish intestine. Feeling that the shark was scared every day, Yu Gu comforted: "Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do." Let's go little by little, and you have to hide behind me, no matter what danger happens. The shark nodded, and the two of them slowly swam towards the dragon balls, shuttling between the straight stone pillars. They hadn't swam far enough to notice that a stone pillar had moved on its own.

The trial is about to begin.
