In fact, in the earliest days, only Jiao people could survive in the water, and there were no mermaids and fish people in the sea at that time. Some of the Jiaoren who live in the water have found that the advantages of some sea creatures are better than those of Jiaoren, and in the simplest terms, Jiaoren is viviparous, and most of the fish are oviparous. Water is not like land, even if Jiao people can live in the sea, but their success rate of reproduction is very low, and the population has been growing slowly. After becoming a Jiaoren, motherhood also has no ability to breastfeed, and has been eating fish since birth. They have also gone from hot-blooded animals to cold-blooded creatures. In order to improve the survival rate, some Jiao people tried to develop into marine life, and they tried to combine with marine life, and gradually evolved into a group of races without feet and human body and fish tails, and this is the mermaid race. The merfolk have a strong ability to reproduce, but they have lost their power. Without legs, without combat effectiveness, without even being able to get out of the water. Jiaoren can survive even on land, while mermaids don't live for more than a day. The quality of the offspring that continues in this way is decreasing, even though the number is huge. The fish that lived together among the mermaids were affected by the breath of the mermaids, and when the Jiaoren evolved in the direction of the mermaids, those fish also changed. The fish began to grow human forms that could stand on two legs, and their hands could move, and only the faces still retained the original fish symbol. These fish-to-human species are called fish-people, and they not only possess all the characteristics of previous creatures, but they also grow in strength by leaps and bounds after becoming humanoids, and gradually begin to conquer the seas.

They are also evolved from Jiaoren, why is there such a big gap between the two? That's the wrong direction. Just as human beings can survive in troubled times and even in extremely harsh environments, and fish will die when they leave the water, human beings are already the highest point of biological development. When a fish acquires human abilities and naturally becomes powerful, and a person only wants to become a fish, by constantly reproducing offspring, becoming the bottom of the food chain, and naturally becoming the lowest animal. The only advantage of mermaids is that they were born very beautiful, and with this, they started a marriage with the Jiao tribe and were not wiped out by such a vicious race as the fishmen.

Jiaoren can freely enter and leave the Sinking Fish Country, and the king of the Sinking Fish Country is like a courtier of the Jiao King. However, the connection between the two countries has become scarce recently, and that is because the mermaid king only has one daughter, and he is really reluctant to marry his daughter to Jiaoren. Every woman who is married to the Jiao tribe is a bargaining chip for the interests of the country, they go to a foreign land, without the company of relatives, many mermaids have a very short lifespan, just like floating in the sea, they may only see the sunrise once in their lives, and they think that the world is only one day.

But the daughter still has to marry, and she must marry the mermaid, otherwise the mermaid king will give up the throne because he has no offspring. The current king of mermaids is a shark frame, and his father is a shark heng. Many of Shark Heng's children died in the Blue Sea Battle, and the female mermaids also married elsewhere, leaving him alone. Shark frame is timid by nature, and only gave birth to a daughter with his wife, so he is doubly cared for. King Jiaoren always hoped that he would marry his daughter to Ao Chong, and for the first time in his life, he did not agree to King Jiaoren's move, which caused King Jiaoren's dissatisfaction. Worried about losing the protection of the Jiao clan, the shark had to promise that if his daughter couldn't marry before the age of twenty-five, he would agree to the family affair. This is probably the last compromise that a father has made for the protection of his daughter.

On this day, the mermaid king shark frame was discussing politics in the court, and the ministers mentioned the candidate for the throne. Because the mermaid has no children under his knees and only has a daughter, if the shark marries into the Jiao clan every day, then the position of the mermaid king will change hands and be filled by a distant relative of the mermaid clan. And this year there is still a month to go until the princess's twenty-fifth birthday, and the life of a mermaid is only eighty years old, and at the age of twenty-four, many men will not look down on it. As soon as he talked about this, he didn't care about the throne, and now his wife died not long ago, leaving him alone and his daughter to rely on. In the struggle for kingship, no one will have mercy, people only hope that the merfolk can continue to survive in the ocean, and their survival is inseparable from strong alliances. When he objected to using his daughter to marry Jiaohe, the hearts of the ministers were no longer with him. Although everyone in the court is submissive to you, you know it and know that after you step down, they will no longer have such a kind attitude as they have today.

Shark Frame is tired, and he is ready to go to see his daughter.

The princess's mansion is different from ordinary coral buildings, and it is said that it is made of metal that does not rust. Just smelting metal in the sea, he sent people to collect all the colorful glazed stones in the ocean, and ignited a furnace that could make iron in the sea, so as to build such a strong castle. It can be seen that he protects his daughter. Why did the mermaid king protect her daughter so closely? In fact, it was mainly because seven years ago, his daughter had just turned seventeen years old, and Jiaoren Wang Ao Gang brought his eldest son Ao Chong over to propose marriage. That Ao Chong was really a scum, and when the Jiaoren King and the Mermaid King were communicating, he sneaked into the princess's room and tried to do something bad to the shark every day. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Shark Tiantian's innocence was preserved, but King Jiaoren disagreed, thinking that his son was just making love to his future wife in advance, and asked Shark Frame to agree to the marriage contract as soon as possible and choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married. This shameless move finally made the timid shark frame show what a father should look like in front of Ao Gang, and he directly drove Jiaoren out of the Sinking Fish Country. But the strength of the country is there, and when Ao just walked out of the country of Shenyu, he swore to him: "Without us, you are nothing." You are just fish roe that anyone in the ocean can eat, your beautiful skin is your only value, you just wait to be burned and robbed by the bandits of the fish-men, and then disappear to the bottom of the sea!"

The ministers have said to the mermaid king that if they rebel against the Jiaoren, they will soon lose protection, and the fishmen who have been coveting them will sweep in, and with the combat power of the mermaid, they are not a strong fishman opponent at all. Shark Frame also knew the consequences of his actions, he had to compromise, promised that if his daughter was not married before the age of twenty-five, he would marry his daughter to the Qianlong Kingdom, and at the same time he would abdicate, as compensation for the period, allow the Jiaoren's army to enter the country's waters, and at the same time, the Jiaoren can freely enter and leave the country. In order to ensure his daughter's personal safety and not to be infiltrated in the room last time, he ordered someone to build this barrier.

The castle's gates are made of heavy polychrome glazed stone, which is black, and the stone gates made from it can only be opened by twenty mermaids. The mermaid doorman opened the door for the mermaid king, and a girlish pink light appeared inside the dark castle.

"Father, is that you?" a sweet voice came, and in the room, a mermaid wearing pink clothes on the upper body and a blue and pink fishtail on the lower body was swimming towards the mermaid frame from the mirror, and that was the only daughter of the mermaid king, the mermaid Tiantian.

"Father, you are sad today, have you encountered anything unpleasant?"

The shark frame was taken by the woman to a coral chair, leaned down and sighed, and then frowned: "No matter what troubles I encounter, as long as I see my daughter grow up healthily, I will be happy." It's only that your mother left early, and if she could see you look slim like this, I guess she would be very happy. ”

The twenty-four-year-old princess has long understood that life is not as pure as it used to be. She said to the shark frame: "Actually, my daughter has known for a long time, and my daughter will be twenty-five years old in less than a month, and my father will marry me to Jiaoren at that time, so that the mermaid country can avoid a bloody storm." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! That Ao Chong is a beast! You actually used your hands and feet when you were fourteen years old, if it weren't for the son of Jiaowang, I would have skinned him and thrown it into the sea to feed the fish. Even if this king is a timid person in his life, there is no room for compromise in front of his family. I don't care about this throne, anyway, I've always lived under the faces of the fish man and the Jiaoren, so it's better to be open for a while. If he really dares to rob hard, it's a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the jade will be burned. ”

"Father, don't mess around! Once there is another war, the mermaid clan will be ruined again, and we are not Jiaoren's opponents, so don't treat the whole people as a child's play." ”

"Alas, I can't imagine that you have been in this airtight castle and still be so sensible. It's still my mermaid clan who is strong and strong, so why not be afraid of him. It's just that Jiaoren is in charge of the Sea King's Halberd, and he can command the shark and all things in the ocean to ......" Speaking of this, the shark frame angrily smashed the chair in his hand with his fist.

"It's better to resign yourself to fate, it's not my father's fault that the mermaid clan has fallen to this point, my father should not blame himself, when the time comes, my daughter will marry, and please don't be sad. As a royal daughter, she naturally has no regrets. The daughter heard that the shark was resting near the Sinking Fish Country recently, and her father still asked people to go over and treat them well, so as not to neglect the divine beast. ”

"Divine beast, I think this dragon belongs to the Jiaoren family, and he didn't take us mermaids in his eyes at all, otherwise why would he only listen to the Jiaoren's dispatch. At this point, an attendant slammed the door outside the door and shouted at the shark frame through the iron door.

"Great King, the envoy of the prince of the Jiao clan, Man Zhouzi, has entered the waters of our country, and he will arrive in the country in 2 hours. ”

"Is it the strategist of the beast, full of boats? The fish-man is not a good thing, it smells the same, what is he doing here? Is it because he knows that you are almost twenty-five years old, and came to me to ask for someone?"

"Father, after all, Man Zhouzi is the advisor of the prince of Jiaoren, and there must be something important to come as an envoy this time, my father should focus on national affairs, and I don't have to worry about my daughter's affairs. ”

"Alas," Shark took his daughter's hand and shook his head helplessly, "It's really hard for my child, I have never taken you out to see it in more than 20 years." Father promised you that on your birthday, my father will take you to play up and down the country, and then post the king list for you to find a husband who can grow old with you, and make up for the fact that I have not accompanied you well in the past few decades. ”

The father and daughter spent their last warm moments in the room, and the shark rubbed his shoulders for him every day. In the end, the shark frame wanted to meet the shark with the civil and military officials, and left the castle. When the heavy iron door closes, it seems to be an allegory of the state of this race: kindness and bravery are locked in the door, but outside the door is endless confusion.

The shark frame and the civil and military officials took dozens of carts of fish and shrimp and swam to the habitat of the shark. The shark is resting on a sea rock. The bubbles exhaled from his nose were surrounded by a large school of fish, sucking in the breath of the ocean that came out of the shark's nose. This breath can make them energetic, and it is precisely because of the breath of the water god that the fish was able to evolve into the fish-man at that time. The way the shark was sleeping, even the sea beasts that were several times larger than him did not dare to approach, that is, the king's aura at the top of the food chain shocked them. As for the tribute offered by the shark frame, the shark did not take a look, and raised one eyelid to look at it and closed it back, as if telling the mermaid king: "I can't look at these things of you." Seeing that the shark ignored them, the shark had no choice but to go back.

After swimming for two hours, Man Zhouzi and the fish intestines finally arrived at the Sinking Fish Country.

Before Man Zhouzi entered the city, he asked the guards outside the city about where the shark was, and the guard told him where it was, and the mermaid king had just returned from the shark not long ago. Hearing the return of the guards, Man Zhouzi smiled secretly in his heart: "The fishman went to stammer, not asking for hardship, the dragon looked down on the weak creature of the mermaid at all, and only the strong were worthy of talking to him." ”

Before going to the palace, Man Zhouzi began to instruct the fish intestines, and after entering the palace, he would discuss with the mermaid king about the marriage of the prince and the mermaid princess, and ask the fish intestines to pick up the mermaid princess Shark Tiantian, and then bring him to the shark, and use the blood of the king of Jiao on his body to accept the trial of the shark. After kidnapping the princess, this place is bound to be in chaos, and he will be entangled with the merfolk here to prevent them from affecting the fish intestines to regain the power of the Sea King from the shark. Man Zhouzi also joked with the fish intestines: "Don't be fooled by the beauty of the shark Tiantian, it is not for nothing that she is called the most beautiful woman in the water." I think that when the prince came here to propose marriage, because he couldn't hold back his spring heart, he took the initiative to make a crooked idea to the mermaid who was only fourteen years old. The mermaid king shark frame, who has always been submissive, lost his temper with King Jiao for the first time, and even wanted to kill the prince to vent his anger. It's a pity that he is still afraid of Jiaoren's strength, and finally promised King Jiao that if the mermaid king has not found an heir when the princess is twenty-five years old, he will let the princess marry the prince, and he will also abdicate. ”

"Are the mermaids you are talking about the people around you who have fish tails?"

"That's right, they don't live more than a day on the ground, and they're really a fragile species. Not much to say, there is the palace in front, and when I argue with the mermaid king, you look at my eyes, find the mermaid princess and bring it out. There are shops selling shells in this city, and those shells are just big enough for an adult mermaid, and I'll give you some money, and you can use the shells to take the mermaid princess out. I advise you not to grope her halfway, although she is almost twenty-five years old, not young, but in the future she will still be the prince's woman. ”

Yu Gu nodded, in fact, at his age, how could he have feelings for the opposite sex, and now he still thinks that human women are better-looking.

Entering the palace, the shark frame met Man Zhouzi. Man Zhouzi and the mermaid king discussed the marriage of the mermaid princess, saying that the date was approaching, so the mermaid king should make a decision as soon as possible. The mermaid loves her daughter very much, and has been avoiding the topic of Manzhouzi. Man Zhouzi gave the fish intestine in the corner a look during the conversation, and the fish intestine quietly left the palace to find the princess's place of residence in the palace.

After being questioned, he found the castle where the princess lived, but the guards outside the castle would not let him in, no matter what his identity was. At this time, two mermaids were about to enter the princess's room. They are craftsmen, and today when the mermaid king shark broke a chair in the princess's room, they went in to repair the chair. The fish intestines had an idea, knocked the two merfolk unconscious, dressed in their clothes, and covered their legs with a cloth and a toolbox to prevent the filling from being exposed.

He dressed as a craftsman, and sure enough, he walked to the gate of the princess's castle. Twenty guards helped him open the door, and just as he wanted to go in, one of the guards suddenly noticed that something was wrong and stopped Yu Gu: "Don't you usually come with your master, why are you the only one today?"

"The master is not feeling well today, and I have learned the same craft as the master, so I can come out alone. ”

"Then how do you wrap the lower half of your body in a cloth? The merfolk must expose the fish's tail, and lift the cloth for us to see. ”

At this time, the fish intestine was stunned, once the other party opened it, knowing that he was a Jiaoren would definitely cause chaos, and it would be difficult for him to enter the castle. The fish intestine wanted to fool the past: "The grass man's fish tail has been injured recently, and the wound is a little unbearable, and I am afraid that the princess will be disgusted by it, so I block it with a cloth." But the guards still didn't fully believe him, and were about to go up and lift his cloth, when the situation reached a very tense moment, and even cold sweat flowed from the forehead of the fish intestines. At this moment, the voice of the mermaid princess Shark Tiantian came from the room: "Don't be embarrassed by the big brother of the guard, they are just ordinary people, they can't stand your fright, let them in, I haven't met them once or twice, they are all good people." ”

"Alright then, you can go in, but you'll be out as soon as it's fixed. ”

I didn't expect that the upcoming crisis would be resolved like this. As soon as he entered, the guards closed the door again. As soon as he turned around, he saw the face of the shark Tiantian, and his brain was blank.

"Is this a mermaid? This is simply the most beautiful embodiment in the world. ”
