It seemed that he had seen through Lin Xi's thoughts, and the village chief Chailong said lightly: "Originally, we also wanted to confirm Miss Xia's identity before bringing someone over, but Miss Xia was targeted and in danger. ”

Lin Xi frowned, Ouyang had also said earlier that the behind-the-scenes boss of the auction was a hermit Guwu family, if they really wanted to kill Xia Baihe, would the people of this village be able to resist it?

Chasing Long smiled: "If Miss Xia is really the person we are looking for, then it is our bounden duty to protect her, as for the people of that family, they don't have the ability to come to us to make a mistake." ”

When he said this, he was full of confidence, and Lin Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Do you know which family wants to hunt down Bai He?"

When Chasing Long heard this, he just glanced at Lin Xi lightly, but he didn't answer, but instead locked his eyes on Xia Baihe's hand, and at this moment she had already taken out the jade pendant.

This jade pendant is the only clue she has to find her mother's whereabouts, so she has always worn it close to her body.

Chasing the dragon carefully took the jade pendant, holding it in both hands and observing it, with a pious and solemn face, as if what he was holding in his hand was not an ordinary jade pendant, but a sacred thing.

Chasing Long looked at the jade pendant carefully for a long time before returning the jade pendant to Xia Baihe, and then he got up from the seat and bowed directly to Xia Baihe: "The forty-ninth generation village chief of Longju Village pays a visit to the dragon girl!"

"Poof!" Hearing this, Lin Xi, who was drinking water, suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water, this scene was really a bit funny for him.

It seems that this person is really loyal enough to the princess of the dragon clan!

He had been guessing that the dragon princess might have been beautified by a woman who had helped their village chief through generations of legends, but now that the village chief was directly called Xia Baihe Dragon Girl, could it be that there was such a thing as a dragon in the world?

Xia Baihe was also frightened by the sudden attitude of chasing the dragon, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The village chief chased the dragon and didn't sell it, and told Lin Xi and Xia Baihe about another version of the dragon princess.

Legend has it that more than 500 years ago, when the small fishing village was still a small village that relied on fishing for a living, one year when the sea breeze was particularly strong, a seriously injured woman appeared in the village after the waves receded.

At that time, the folk customs were still very simple, the villagers took pity on her, so they took her back to the village, and under the care of the villagers, the woman was rescued, and then the woman followed the fishermen to fish and lived in the fishing village.

The small fishing village returned to its former calm, and it was thought that life would be calm forever, but that year there were more storms on the sea than in previous years, and the fishermen could not go out to sea to fish, and the clouds were bleak all day.

Just when the villagers were at a loss, the rescued woman said that there was a kraken, and took the initiative to ask Ying to get rid of the demon, and before leaving the village, she gave birth to a baby girl, and left a piece of jade pendant for the baby girl.

The woman went to the sea and never returned, but the sea has been calm ever since, and the villagers raised the baby girl in gratitude to her.

No one knows who the father of the baby girl is, but this does not prevent them from being grateful to the mother of the baby girl.

As for why the woman was called the princess of the dragon clan, firstly, because the carved patterns on the jade pendant left by the woman were very similar to the legendary Dragon Palace, and secondly, it was rumored that when the woman entered the sea, someone saw her body turn into a hundred-meter-long dragon.

After listening to the narration of the village chief of Chasing Dragon, Lin Xi and Xia Baihe looked at each other, this was the third version of the legend of the dragon princess they had heard, and there might be more, but Lin Xi felt that what Chasing Dragon said was more reliable.

At least this legend finally sounded less absurd, but Lin Xi still didn't believe in the sight of the last bit of incarnation into a dragon.

Chasing the dragon focused all his eyes on Xia Baihe, and said respectfully: "Miss Xia, we have been looking for you for decades, to be precise, we have been looking for the dragon girl for decades, after your mother disappeared, we have been looking for the descendants of the dragon girl, and we have finally found you." ”

"What are you looking for me, and how did my mother disappear?" Xia Baihe asked bluntly.

Listening to the tone of the chasing dragon, they didn't seem to be looking for specific people, but as long as they had the blood of the dragon girl.

Chasing the dragon was silent for a moment before sighing, "Miss Xia, I am sorry about the disappearance of the last dragon girl, that is, your mother. ”

"What's wrong with my mother?" Xia Baihe said nervously.

"The dragon girl's ability is getting weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and in the last dragon girl, she no longer has any extraordinary abilities, if it weren't for us not protecting the dragon girl, she wouldn't have been captured by those pirates. ”

After saying this, the expression on Chasing Long's face became more and more gloomy, as if he had thought of something that made him heartbroken.

Xia Baihe's face changed when he heard that his mother had been kidnapped by pirates, but Lin Xi noticed another meaning in Chasing the Dragon's words.

"What do you mean by the dragon girl's ability?" Lin Xi asked with a frown.

Listening to this meaning, could it be that the woman who was rescued by them in the legend is really a dragon princess, so her descendants have supernatural abilities?

Chasing the dragon glanced at him and said: "According to historical records, the children of the dragon princess are born to be able to speak, and can also predict the situation on the sea, and each subsequent generation of dragon girls has this ability, but because of the children born to them and humans, the power of the bloodline has been thinned, and the ability has gradually weakened, and the dragon girls of the previous generation have basically no ability." ”

Speaking of this, Chasing Dragon subconsciously looked at Xia Baihe: "Does Miss Xia feel that she has any special abilities?"

Xia Baihe shook his head and said, "Except that swimming is self-taught, I don't have any outstanding abilities since I was a child. ”

Chasing Dragon nodded, as if he had been prepared for this, and then he continued, "The reason why we are looking for you is to see if you have the ability to inherit the dragon maidens of the past generations. ”

"Sorry to disappoint you. Xia Baihe's face was complicated, she never thought that her life experience would be so legendary.

Chasing the dragon listened to Xia Baihe's words, shook his head and said, "No, we have expected this result, even if you have completely lost the ability of the dragon girl, you are still worthy of respect in our eyes." And for this reason, there is another important thing I would like to ask you for. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, since he knew Ge Xun's identity, he actually had some doubts about the other party's true purpose.

This is a utilitarian world, even if the ancestors of Xia Baihe really had merit to the people of the small fishing village hundreds of years ago, and now it has lasted for dozens of generations, the feelings should have been weak a long time ago.
