2. What? Want me to marry that dragon?
Ji Mo endured hunger for a night, and when the light came into the cave, he got up, ready to get himself something to eat, carrying the shark teeth that were dropped after being whipped by Liji yesterday, and swimming to the fishing area with his tail according to his memory, Ji Mo hid behind a black reef and lurked.
But he didn't find the shadow of the fish for a long time, Ji Mo was hungry and anxious, and couldn't help but flick his tail, swinging countless sand fragments on the bottom of the sea, and muddying a small area of water around him.
He followed the memories in his mind to come to this sea area to feed, but this place is too desolate: it is cold, there are no large coral reefs, and there is no lush seagrass, so the fish don't like to hang here, Ji Mo searched his memory again, and he finally knew:
The merfolk are accustomed to fishing not here at all, but on the edge of a vast coral reef island, with warm currents, abundant sunshine and an abundance of fish. The original owner was also fishing there before, but a few days ago, I don't know which mouthy gossip fish came out of the mouth, saying that Ji Mo was going to marry Lishu, who was about to become an adult!
These rumors made Lishu panic and made her sister Liji angry, and for several days she brought helpers to surround Ji Mo, who went to forage for food, Ji Mo tried to defend herself, but unsurprisingly failed, because no mermaid was willing to listen to his explanation, so he had no choice but to find this place to fish.
"Too much deception, oh no, too much deception!" Every time Ji Mo recalls a little, it is the scene of being bullied by other mermaids, which is really infuriating!
Just as he was hiding behind a rock and talking to himself, a shadow suddenly shrouded his head, and Ji Mo hurriedly looked up: Oops, a large school of tuna!
Ji Mo quickly cheered up, grabbed the shark's teeth and a rock and swam up quickly, the tuna swim all their lives, and if they stopped, they would suffocate to death, because they had to keep their mouths wide open at all times, allowing fresh water to rush through their gills for percussive breathing.
"Hey, stop!" Ji Mo swam with all his might, and he caught up with the last small piece of tuna, their swimming speed was very amazing, Ji Mo was anxious and simply shouted, but this was useless in the slightest!
Then he simply threw the stone and the shark teeth at the fish with both hands, wondering if he could try his luck and stun one.
It turned out to be the blessing of the sea god, and Ji Mo, who was following slowly, found a tuna that was swimming significantly slower, about half the size of his body, and he couldn't care about anything in ecstasy, so he flicked his tail and chased after it, and directly tied the fish - as long as he could stop swimming, it wouldn't be long before he would suffocate.
In order to successfully capture the prey and fill his stomach, Ji Mo didn't care how many cuts were made by the struggling prey, and clung to the small tuna, and finally he won.
"Haha~ I didn't expect my first fishing to be so successful!" Ji Mo was content to drag the loot and prepare to go home to feast, and before leaving, he didn't forget to retrieve the shark teeth that played a heavy role.
Back at the door of the house, Ji Mo couldn't wait to start, but when he faced this fresh tuna, he was stunned for a moment: there is no knife, do you hold it and gnaw it?
However, this thought only flashed, and Ji Mo subconsciously "brushed" the sharp nails that he had hidden before, skillfully cutting the prey, and stuffing it into his mouth into a wide slice.
"Hmm, it's delicious! The previous tuna sushi and yusheng were simply weak, where is this freshly slaughtered delicious ......" Ji Mo originally liked to eat tuna, and now that he is a mermaid, he will not resist eating sashimi, and he laughed more and more as he ate it.
After eating the small half of the fish, Ji Mo was finally full, he carefully put the remaining half of the fish into the house, and he swam around to eat, by the way, familiar with the structure and skills of his new body, as well as the surrounding environment.
The water here is grayish-blue, surrounded by huge, strangely shaped gray rocks, only the rare seagrass grows in the crevices, and even the sand and gravel underground are grayish-black, which is really oppressive for merfolk who love brightness and brilliance by nature.
In order to adapt to a new life and strive to become an excellent mermaid, Ji Mo worked hard to circle around the reef and perform difficult movements:
After swimming in the shape of an S-shape, he froze, then spun and ascended, and suddenly turned around and rushed to the bottom of the sea, and then made a sharp turn, and was very busy, until he had practiced a whole set of tricks of his own creation, and then he lay down on the sand to rest.
*****
At this time, in the holy land square of the mermaid clan, a large group of mermaids gathered, and the atmosphere was very solemn, all of them looked thoughtful and preoccupied.
Mermaid Armor: "Is this decision of the patriarch necessary?" Although the dragons are the rulers, we must attach ourselves to them, but ...... There's no need to get married, right? ”
Mermaid B: "That's right, first of all, we are not of the same race, besides, don't all the noble sons of the dragon clan marry noble dragon girls?" Can you see a mermaid? ”
Mermaid C: "Hmph, are you really a bunch of ignorant fish, and your mind is stuffed with sea sand?" Let me tell you, the patriarch is thinking about the sixth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, that is, the weak white dragon who has not been able to transform into an adult to this day, where will there be a noble dragon girl willing to marry him?! ”
“……”
The buzz in the square became louder and louder, and the mermaid patriarch holding the scepter on the high platform saw this, slammed the scepter, and commanded majestically: "Clansmen, be quiet! ”
The merfolk in the Shell Square were in awe of their patriarch, and slowly closed their mouths when they heard this.
The merfolk patriarch explained solemnly, "Tribesmen, I understand everyone's doubts. That's right, Ao Bai, the sixth son of the dragon king, is indeed not of the same race as us, and there is no precedent for marriage between the two races before - but I have already received definite news: the dragon kings of the three seas of the West Sea, the North Sea, and the South China Sea, as well as the river dragon kings of the eight major water systems on land, have all rejected the proposal of Ao Bai, the sixth son of the dragon, which shows that the possibility of Ao Bai marrying the dragon girl is basically gone, but the possibility of marrying with a foreign race is very great! Do you know, people? The Jiaolong clan has already offered a female to the dragon queen, if the dragon and the dragon clan are married, then the situation of our mermaid clan will be difficult, the clansmen, everyone must think carefully! ”
As soon as these words came out, the mermaids immediately exploded:
Mermaid: "What? How can you let the damn dragon climb the noble dragon clan? ”
Mermaid Chen: "Oh my sea god, don't let that terrible scene come true!" Yesterday I was singing on the reef and was actually laughed at by an ugly dragon passing by...... Do they know what it means to sing elegantly and beautifully? ”
“……”
In the end, all the mermaids unanimously begged their patriarch: Patriarch, please stop this marriage, our mermaids are obviously much more beautiful and friendly than Jiaolong!
The mermaid patriarch was satisfied, "Very good, the prosperity of the mermaid clan will always be inseparable from your support. So, did anyone voluntarily marry Ao Bai, the sixth son of the dragon? She must be our hero! ”
As soon as these words came out, the square slowly quieted down again, after all, agreeing is one thing, but if you really want to let yourself or your daughter marry, it will be difficult - although Ao Bai is a dragon, but after being an adult for so long, he can't even transform into a shape! I heard that the character is also very withdrawn and full of anger, and whoever marries it will be guilty......
After a long wait, the square was still quiet, and the patriarch sighed and said: "Tribesmen, glory and suffering will always coexist, so let's use the method of drawing lots, and the mermaid females of the right age will come up, whoever draws that great task will have to marry Ao Bai, and of course, she will always be our hero!" ”
The mermaids had no choice but to accept this decision, and soon, a clam was full of closed small shells, only one of which was engraved with the word "hero", and all the adult unmarried mermaids stepped forward tremblingly, and after picking and choosing for a long time, they left with a shell.
After the patriarch watched the mermaids finish choosing, he immediately announced: "Below, you can open the shell in your hand, if anyone finds the word "hero" engraved in it, then please come forward and accept everyone's blessings!" ”
After a nervous squirrel, from time to time you can hear the suppressed ecstasy of a mermaid: Ah, my shell is not engraved!
"Poseidon bless! Luckily, there are no words in my shell......"
"Hey...... Looks like I'm not going to be the hero of my clan......"
After a period of half-truth and half-truth, a terrible cry suddenly broke out in the corner: "No, I don't want to be a hero, what I like is Ji Miao, who is going to hold a ceremony next month." ”
The patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked someone to bring the lucky fish who had drawn the mission to the front, regardless of what she was shouting in her mouth, and happily announced: "It turns out that this lucky mermaid is Liji, come, people, let us congratulate her on her upcoming marriage to the noble dragon clan!" ”
Liki was so scared that she couldn't even wggle her tail, she fell to the ground and wept bitterly, tears fell down, and suddenly there was the sound of large beads and small beads falling on jade plates in the silent shell square.
"Patriarch, no, I don't want to, I can't be this hero, I already have a crush on my heart! Ji Miao, Ji Miao, help me! You must save me! Liki shouted frantically back.
Ji Miao swam forward with great regret, hugged Liji tightly, and begged: "Patriarch, I love Liji, please choose another mermaid to marry Ao Bai, please!" ”
At this time, Liji's parents and Ji Miao's parents also swam up, confirming that the children of the two families have indeed been dating for a long time and have a very deep relationship, on the other side, the loving fish fish hugged her head and cried, looking more affectionate than Jinjian, and the mermaid patriarch angrily reprimanded: "Liji has drawn the task, how can she regret it?" She doesn't want to marry, so who should she marry? ”
This is Liji suddenly raised her head and said firmly to the mermaids: "I am indeed not suitable to marry Ao Bai, but I know that there is a mermaid who is very suitable!" ”
"Oh, let's hear it." The patriarch was interested.
"It's Ji Mo! I have heard him say it more than once, he admires Ao Bai, the sixth son of the dragon, very much, because Ji Mo is black, and Ao Bai is white, Ji Mo feels that he and Ao Bai are a natural match, and Ji Miao is also present, you say yes? Ji Miao? ”
Ji Miao looked at Li Ji in surprise, a little unclear, just wanted to question but was immediately pinched by the fish in his heart, he looked at the other party's warning eyes, and immediately understood and echoed: "Uh, yes, Ji Mo did tell me that he admired Ao Bai, and once asked me very sadly, when will Ao Bai marry the dragon girl, he will definitely be sad at that time." ”
The patriarch was skeptical: "Really? But Ji Mo, Ji Mo is a male, how can he ...... But then again, if you really admire it, you really can't care about these things, at most let him eat the fruit transformation when the time comes. ”
Ji Mo's parents quietly discussed for a while, and then they both stepped forward and said: "Ji Mo can contribute to the prosperity of the clan, it is really his blessing, can marry the great dragon clan, or he has climbed high." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the mermaids immediately admired the pearls in their eyes, even the always calm patriarch was no exception, he sighed with emotion: "The great sea god is above, thank you for giving birth to children like Ji Yang and Lan, it is precisely because of such great parents that Ji Mo's sincere and resolute mermaid was born!" ”
Ji Mo's parents, Ji Yang and Lan were surrounded by the clansmen with a smile, enjoying the praise and admiration of the clansmen, and not forgetting to maintain their perfect and humble etiquette at all times.
So, Ji Mo, who was sleeping soundly in the cave, welcomed his parents and sisters, and brought him a blockbuster news:
"Ji Mo, you have good luck, you are about to marry the noble sixth son of the dragon Ao Bai!"
