92. The charm of the fruit, the sweet morning light

- Ji Mo, aren't you, aren't you a female mermaid?

The old priest hastily withdrew the palm of his hand that had rested on the mermaid's tail, his expression embarrassed, for he was sure that the merfolk had some of the characteristics of a male.

Although it was the first time he had seen the tail of a mermaid, after all, he was older, and his experience was different from that of ordinary females. No matter what kind of creature it is, male or female or something, cough cough~ But that's the same thing, if you see more, you will naturally understand.

"Uh~ Well...... Ji Mo touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly, flicked his tail slightly, looked at the roof and explained in a fluttering voice:

"Well...... Here's the thing...... Hmm~ You are really powerful, you can see the problem at a glance. I was originally a male mermaid, and after I became a partner with Ao Bai, cough cough~ In order to have a child and a happy family, I ate the fruit and became a female mermaid who can give birth to offspring......"

The crossing fish thought depressedly in his heart:

Hold a grass! It's so embarrassing to say this in person, what will the tower priest think of me when he finds out?

Tower's expression lit up instantly, he pondered for a long time, and only held back one sentence: "In this way, it turns out that you like Ao Bai so much, actually, you actually made this kind of sacrifice." ”

Hey~ It's not easy, no matter which race you put it in, it's not easy: in order to form a perfect family with the orcs you like, you'd rather sacrifice yourself to change your gender, alas~!

Ji Mo pulled his cheeks and laughed, the smile was quite stiff, and there were words of suffering in his heart.

"Hey~ Actually, it's nothing, I also like children, it's always a pity to have no children at home. Fortunately, our sea clan has a way to solve this regret, what is it to eat the fruit? I don't think it's a sacrifice. ”

Hmm~ If you don't have children at home, you will be very eager for it......

But

Oh, my God! I won't tell you if I'm killed, I don't know what the fruit I ate when I left the East China Sea was used for it! If I had known beforehand, frankly I wouldn't have eaten it like thatβ€”what are you kidding? Changing gender to have offspring?

But this has already happened, so none of the assumptions of YiqiΔ“ are valid.

There is a destiny in the dark, maybe Yue Lao tied the other end of the red thread that belongs to me to Ao Bai, so I will cross over, eat the fruit happily, and have today's companionship.

Ta's expression was very complicated, and he said lightly: "Ji Mo, you are really amazing. After saying this, the old priest's eyes were still shining strangely.

At first, the crossing fish still maintained a standard modest smile and looked at each other, but after a while, Ji Mo's heart was shocked, and he immediately asked tentatively: "Tower priest, do you want to ask about Heguo?" ”

Tut-tut~ I'll just say! This is the focus of technical talents!

The old priest immediately smiled and nodded like garlic.

Oh oh oh, that's good, finally found your weakness - the little white dragon outside the door almost laughed.

"Hmm...... We can't help in a short period of time," Ji Mo said regretfully, and didn't say anything at once, "I told you before, Ao Bai's hometown and I are in the distant deep sea, and it took a long, long time to swim to Sicily, and the fruit is only in the hands of the priests of our Sea Clan, which is very precious!" Generally, it is determined that two males who want to live together can only be divided by the patriarch to lead the past, but there are no more, so ......"

After finishing speaking, Ji Mo made a regretful gesture just right.

Ta was not discouraged, he was so excited that his hands were clenched tightly and trembled slightly, and he said, "It's just that there's no way in a short period of time, right?" You're always going to be home after that, right? Can you ...... then? Well? ”

It turns out that the orc tribes in this other world are currently showing the dilemma of more males and fewer females, mainly due to the low birth rate and high premature death rate. The sea tribes living in the deep sea can barely maintain their balance, but they still have a result, and the problem of gender imbalance will not rise to a fatal problem that threatens the reproduction and development of the race; But the terrestrial tribes are different, they live in dense forests, they are constantly threatened by lack of food, violent storms, wild beast attacks, blizzards and cold, and the number of females has become scarce to the point that the tribe is unstable.

As a respected old priest who was dedicated to the sake of the tribe, Ta's interest in Heguo completely surpassed that of pearls, pearls, and the tribe had saved a lot

But I have never seen a single of the legendary miraculous fruits!

Ji Mo nodded in understanding, "Ao Bai and I both have tribes and families far away, so it's impossible to say that we don't go home to see it, but we just moved to Sicily, and the child hasn't been born yet, when can we go back home...... I can't say for sure, but I hope you understand. ”

The old priest nodded hurriedly, "Yes, of course." Ji Mo, let's forget the pearl matter first, our tribe is not too short at the moment. If you want me to help you deliver the cubs, it's okay, although I haven't delivered a mermaid before, but the female gives birth to the cub and gives birth to a new life is probably the same, I have seen your gestational sac and birth canal, and it is not much different from the land female, I will do my best. ”

Finally got a positive promise, Ji Mo and Ao Bai outside the door breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Thank you, thank you, and honestly I'm very grateful to you." Ji Mo happily held his stomach and said gratefully.

"Don't thank you first, wait until the cub is born and the mother and child are safe, I will never accept thanks and thank you gifts before the matter is completed." Ta said bluntly that he didn't want to break his rules.

After a pause, he instructed: "Heguo, what I want after the deed is Heguo, the time is set by you, if you can, it is best to give me a plant, and by the way, introduce its planting." Well, heguo is a fruit, right? ”

Ji Mo tried to recall, tapping his head from time to time.

At this time, Ao Bai, who was waiting outside, pushed the door in time and walked in and answered on his behalf.

"Heguo is a kind of fruit, and we haven't seen what the plant looks like because we didn't care too much about it before."

The little white dragon has a new plan in his heart:

Hmm~ Now it seems that I really have to find a way to get some fruit transplanted to the Sicilian Sea, didn't the terrestrial orc tribe have it? But we were careless and didn't pay attention to this aspect at all.

"Well, Ao Bai knows more than I do." Ji Mo added, "I've only eaten one, probably, so big, red, woody with no moisture, faintly sweet." "Crossing the fish, he said and gestured, circled a small circle with his thumb and index finger and held it up to introduce.

Ta listened with unusually concern, engrossed, and excited as he blushed, as if he was chanting silently.

If there were pen and paper in this world, it is estimated that this old priest should be in a state of writing hard and taking notes at this time.

- Beast God! If the Sea Clan's Heguo really has the same effect on the terrestrial orcs, then the long-troubled problem of reproduction and growth of our beast tribe will be solved!

"That's right, Ji Mo, do you have any bad feelings after eating Heguo? Will it become weak? ”

The question was asked, but Ta had other considerations in his heart: as long as it wasn't fatal, a few side effects were fine, and the tribe would often give birth to some congenitally bad orc cubs...... Well, that's right, that's doable.

Every time he mentions that past, the little white dragon's expression is so happy and satisfied.

Ji Mo closed his mouth intimately and gave up the opportunity to speak to his dragon.

"In the first few days after eating synthetic fruit, I will be tired, lethargic, and have no energy, and I need to be taken care of. However, Ji Mohui was very fast, and he did not become weak after that, and the effect of the transformation was also very good, this should depend on the individual situation, and there were also males of the Sea Clan who ate the fruit and did not succeed in the transformation, or it was very difficult to conceive offspring. Ao Bai hugged his mermaid and introduced it very proudly.

The little white dragon's very silly smile made Ji Mo a little unable to look directly.

The old priest nodded frequently, "Well, I see, so Ji Mo is a relatively lucky mermaid." ”

"Well, a good mermaid like Ji Mo should be blessed by the god of the sea." Ao Bai said without modesty.

Ji Mo let out a breath and gently tugged at Ao Bai's silver hair, "Okay, okay, don't be so high-profile, I don't know how amazing my mermaid is." ”

The tower is now a hundred times more energetic, and his movements have become vigorous, he used an animal skin mattress to cover Ji Mo's fishtail, and advised: "Then you have a good rest, don't walk around on such a cold day." Hey, by the way, do you mermaids have to produce in the water? What can I do? I don't know how to dive......"

Ao Baiyan obeyed, and got busy with one order after another, and it was really heartbreaking for the birth of the first child.

Ji Mo was lying on the warm bed, holding his stomach and watching the little white dragon busy with peace of mind, and in a trance he still remembered that when they first met, the angry dragon pulled out the self hiding behind the bed, and said dissatisfiedly and curiously:

"It turned out to be a clownfish!"

Hahaha~ Ji Mo smiled happily and bent his eyes - now you are the clownfish's partner......

******

The Lake Chalet is designed with a living room, four bedrooms, a utility room and two observation decks.

Qingzhe lives in a room, Ji Mo and Ao Bai have one, Ao Yang also has one, and the rest is the one that was originally empty, but Xitu thought it was fun, and he originally tossed it, but now that the tower is here, Xitu naturally has to let it out, and there is no way who will make him a cub?

Xitu didn't want to live with Qing Zhe, because he would be trained from time to time, so he moved to Ao Yang's room, anyway, the big white dragon's room was just a decoration, and he had always been used to living at the bottom of the lake.

Rong Tuo was itchy when he saw it, so he simply lived with Xitu - everyone has a room, why don't I have one? Bullying the later dragons?

Now that the fruit is hanging, the tower can't be driven away with a stickβ€”and he stays with peace of mind and ambition, and the old priest is always looking forward to the scene of his successful use of the fruit to make the tribe's tomorrow better.

He spent his life striving to become the greatest priest of the tribe of beasts.

Based on the fact that Ji Mo is currently the only modified female that the old priest can come into contact with, and he has also successfully conceived cubs, this is simply a living real body!

Therefore, the crossing fish has been really afraid of the tower priest recently, and he feels that the other party's fanatical eyes are almost as if he wants to dissect himself every minute......

Oops~ Medical maniac

Fortunately, there is Ao Bai with him, if he lives alone with the tower priest, he will blow his hair and shake his tail at all times.

*****

Early this morning, Ji Mo was sleeping in the dark at home at the bottom of the lake, sleeping comfortably.

Ao Bai went out to look at the sky, and after pacing by the bed for a long time, he decisively began to shake his fish, "Ji Mo, Ji Mo, wake up, you should get up." ”

The merfolk rolled over rather dissatisfied, curled up and went back to sleep.

However, Ao Bai's heart has been scolded by the tower a little harder, and he no longer condones his partner who is lazy and tries to avoid breakfast.

"Ji Mo~ You should really wake up, I caught your favorite little green shrimp, do you want to eat it here or go up and roast it? Or do you want to drink soup? Ao Bai called out persistently.

The merfolk's fists began to clench and his chest heaved and deepened, indicating that his anger was slowly building up.

Looking at the deaf mermaid, the little white dragon helplessly knelt on one knee beside the bed, and after a while, he hugged the other party, stood up and walked outside.

Ji Mo finally broke out.

"Ahhh What do you want to do early in the morning? It's against you! Ao Bai! Put me back at once! Put, back, go!! Ji Mo waved his hand and flicked his tail slightly, so sleepy that he wanted to beat the dragon.

The little white dragon ruthlessly forced himself not to look or listen, and after carrying his partner to the table and sitting down, he began to peel the shrimp with his hands, and then stuffed it into the other party's mouth.

"Eat quickly, go up after eating, the tower priest said that he wants to see the child's condition."

Ji Mo slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were still out of focus, and he muttered angrily: "It's against you, why do you always argue with me to rest?" Why do you have to wake me up? Have you ever done this for dragons? You see, I've never slept with you......"

The little white dragon looked at his chattering and complaining partner, and couldn't help but lower his head and bite the other party's chin fiercely, and smiled and bent his eyes.

Ji Mo was very slow to react, he touched his chin, and he was still scolding angrily: "...... It's really against you, you never dared to do this to me before, is it because I've been talking too well lately? ”

Crossing the fish is in a stern reflection on himself, and he decides to find a way to re-establish his prestige in the family.

The little white dragon was holding a shrimp in his hand, and he had lost his temper completely.

After a long time, Ji Mo finally stood upright on his own strength, slowly swam around the table twice, and regained his normal appearance.

"Morning, Ao Bai, yo ho ~ little green shrimp? Did you go to Dark River early today to catch it? Ji Mo asked happily.

Ao Bai didn't get angry at all, "Well, didn't you say last time that this shrimp is the most delicious?" Do you want to eat it now? ”

"Oh, yes, but this kind of shrimp hides in the dark river in the cold season, and it's troublesome to catch it, don't go to the dark river next time, it's troublesome." Ji Mo admonished, and he lazily stretched his tail, neck and arms.

"It's okay, it's not too much trouble, the Dark River is very close to here." Ao Bai followed closely and asked expectantly again, "Then can you eat it now?" ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Mo flicked his tail, turned around and swam out of the house first, and said energetically: "There are a lot of people above, let's go up and eat, and it will be lively to chat while eating." Didn't you say that the tower priests were looking for me? ”

It's been a long time since I've lived with so many independent-minded, high-minded and talkative guys, and Crossing Fish cherishes this rare opportunity.

Ao Bai could only take the breakfast basket with him and chased after his mermaid.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the dive, there was a little episode.

"Oops~ The water is really cold." Ji Mo trembled and swam around, turned back to Ao Bai and said.

"It's snowing again today, so are you going to go up?" Ao Bai asked worriedly.

Ji Motou didn't look back and said, "Come on, why don't you go up?" Didn't you say that the tower priest wanted to show me today? I'm going late, and I'm going to be scolded again, alas~"

Ao Bai was happy, "The tower priest has been particularly concerned about you recently, I don't care if he is for the fruit or not, in short, I will repay him!" ”

"Yes," Ji Mo sighed and sang melancholy: "I'm a fish from the Sicilian Sea~~ How distressed I am before the child is born~~ It's not easy for Dad to love you......"

The little white dragon was particularly curious when he listened to the unfamiliar tune, and asked, "Ji Mo, is this the song of your mermaid clan?" It does sound special. "I really haven't heard you sing a song seriously.

"Hmm~" Ji Mo shut up and replied inscrutablely, and several black lines slid down his head.

After a few moments, they finally reached the steps of the hut.

"Oops~ I feel like I've really evolved." Ji Mo said, "Tell me, it's so cold and snowy, I just wear it and soak it in ice water and I don't freeze out of it?" Did you think my skin had become thicker? ”

Ao Bai supported him out of the water behind him and advised, "What skin has thickened?" How could the Sea Tribes be frozen to death so easily? There's nothing strange about that. You watch carefully at the dotted feet. ”

"I'm just curious, I didn't dare to imagine it before," Ji Mo grabbed the railing and walked up slowly, the steps and viewing platform in front of him were covered with a layer of snowflakes, "You say, why are our sea tribes so rough and thick and frost-resistant?" ”

Ao Bai carefully protected his partner from behind, not daring to relax, and explained helplessly: "Our sea clan survived in Beihai at the beginning, and we are born frost-resistant. It was only later that the dragons split and each wandered away from the North Sea, establishing a tribe based on the sea as the king. The clansmen have lived in the warm East China Sea for too long, and even they don't know that they still have such skills, alas~"

"Hey~! Why do I hear you as if I am saying that I am particularly ignorant? Ji Mo turned his head and squinted at the little white dragon.

Ahem~ Although it was indeed the first time he had heard such a statement.

Mouth beard! It's bad that there is no written record in this world, history relies on oral and oral traditions, but Ji Mo's mermaid clan doesn't care about this boring history of the origin of the race at all - however, if you want to talk about which dragon king is the most handsome, which dragon queen is the most beautiful, which mermaid has the best singing voice and the most graceful dancing, etc., the mermaid clan is estimated to be able to talk about it for a few days and nights.

At this time, Ji Mo had already climbed the steps and stood on the observation deck, and Ao Bai, who had long hands and feet, was still two levels behind.

"No, how dare I?" Ao Bai smiled gently and dotingly.

A beam of morning light slanted from the treetops of the jungle, enveloping the handsome figure of the little white dragon below, his eyes often a clear and soft blue sea when facing his companion; After staying on land for a long time and going out into the water often, the little white dragon's skin has turned a pale honey color.

This dragon has lost a lot of weight, his facial features are becoming more and more three-dimensional, his temperament is tough, and he has more and more of the demeanor of a king of the sea.

Recalling the scene when he plucked up his courage and left the East China Sea without hesitation, Ao Bai is still a very handsome and slender dragon, and he never talks less in front of his partner and rushes to do things, he is very shy.

Ji Mo's heart suddenly softened, and he turned around and hugged Ao Bai.

One stands on the observation deck and the other stands on the steps below, just at the right height.

"What's wrong? Well? Under the weather? Ao Bai hurriedly threw down the basket in his hand, stepped forward and hugged his partner, frowning and asking worriedly.

Ji Mo sniffed, and suddenly felt a little bit about the pearl, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he still had such an emotional side.

At this time, Ao Yang, who had already heard the movement but did not see his brother and husband come in, pushed the door out suspiciously and took a look, and saw the figure of the other party sweetly hugging in the morning light.

- Well, it's fine.

Ao Yangwaner silently closed the door again and retreated.

"Ji Mo, what's wrong with you? Go in and look at the Tower Priest? The little white dragon asked at a loss.

"Nothing, nothing." Ji Mo took a deep breath and slowly stood up straight with the other party's shoulders, "It's just that I suddenly want to hug you, you've been working hard lately." ”

"Hard for what?" The little white dragon asked suspiciously

Ji Mo smoothed his partner's silver hair with his hands, and scolded with a smile: "You stupid dragon! I've been unwell lately or when I'm in a bad mood, don't you get angry? ”

"Don't be angry, of course not angry, the child is something we all own, and we should have taken care of him together. Alright, let's go in, and the tower priest will talk about you later. Ao Bai urged with a sigh of relief.

Ji Mo let go of Ao Bai, nodded, and saw the breakfast basket out of the corner of his eye, and reminded: "Don't forget to take the little green shrimp and the little green shrimp." ”

"Well, I'll get it." Ao Bai looked back and saw that the basket of food was still thrown down the steps, he turned around and walked a few steps, bending down to carry the basket.

Ji Mo happily raised his feet and continued to walk forward, but unexpectedly, the snow layer on the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, and there was an unexpectedly thin layer of ice underneath
