The main hall of the new dragon palace is extremely luxurious and exquisite, and the chair in the center of the front is carved from a single piece of crystal, which is holy and crystalline, and the nobility is natural.

Ji Mo looked up, sitting side by side on the crystal chair and the dragon king and the dragon, their appearance was much older than when Ji Mo first saw him, and his eyes were even more anxious, no longer graceful and calm as before.

Ao Ze, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, was anxious, clutching the crystal handrail tightly, leaning forward slightly, and when he saw that the turtle steward had only brought in two figures, he immediately became anxious, and he said to the head: "Hmm? Didn't you say that you brought the little dragon back? What about the little dragon? ”

Following the customs of the locals, Ao Bai and Ji Mo wore simple robes and jade crowns, with long bodies and graceful demeanor. Ao Bai was neither humble nor arrogant, and first brought his partner forward to salute:

"Father, mother."

That's it, there are no more kneeling and submissions, and it is not a princely ceremony. The Dragon King and Queen Dragon didn't say anything, and even the old turtle butler, who had always been turtle-haired, was uncharacteristically silent.

Ji Mo said hello as he drew a gourd, and his heart was hung up by Ao Ze's anxious tone of asking his own Xiaolong as he entered the door-You care so much about Ao Yi? But the expression doesn't look like the one that teases Sun and prays for family fun.

No one paid special attention to Ji Mo, and Ji Mo didn't care, and quietly looked around: only the Dragon King Dragon Queen, the elderly turtle butler, and a few guard dragons.

Ao Ya, the Dragon Queen of the East China Sea, silently looked at the young son who had successfully transformed for a long time, and Ao Bai looked at each other calmly for a moment, and then politely looked away.

Ao Bai is tall and handsome, silver-haired and blue-eyed, sword-eyed and starry-eyed, graceful and generous, compared to when he left the Dragon Palace, he has really experienced too much, and he is already a deterrent Dragon King of the Sea.

"Hey, our Ao Bai...... It's finally transformed. Ao Ya, the queen of the dragon, was very excited, the corners of her mouth smiled up, but the tails of her eyes were red, and she beckoned again and again to let Ao Bai swim to her side.

This is the correct way to open the reunion of mother and son after a long absence, Ji Mo silently slandered.

Ao Bai watched his mother wave to him repeatedly, and that sad and joyful expression didn't seem fake? Although Ao Bai didn't know why his mother suddenly became so enthusiastic, he thought about it and took Ji Mo's hand and swam over.

After the dragon king Ao Ze shouted the first sentence, he also knew in his heart that he was a little out of shape, he raised his fist, coughed a few times in disguise, his back was straight, not angry but mighty, and he had the momentum of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the head of the four seas, and looked at his partner next to him with tears of laughter - but he was not satisfied with Ao Bai's appearance after transformation: silver hair and blue eyes? It doesn't look like the venerable East China Sea Golden Dragon at all, alas......

"Ao Bai, the queen mother has been waiting for this day for a long time, and I still think, I still think...... Woo~ It's okay, it's okay, Poseidon didn't give up on you! Ao Ya took her young son's hand, with a happy smile on her face, "I heard that you came back yesterday?" Why don't you come to see the queen mother right away? Yes? ”

Ao Bai calmly looked at her mother talking and laughing, feeling very strange and incomprehensible: why did she say this to me? Isn't it just because I can shapeshift? If I still can't transform when I come back this time, won't she see me?

The little white dragon remembered the bitterness that had never appeared before leaving the Dragon Palace to seal the sea, and his parents and brothers had never seen it, and his face became more and more invisible, and he stiffly clubbed in front of the crystal chair.

Ao Ya was wearing a gorgeous and complicated shark gauze robe, and her body was adorned with many precious gems, although she cried, she was still very modest-this is the feeling that the dragon queen gave Ji Mo: Huh? Her sadness seems just right? Hmm, maybe it's because of the cultivation of the family, and I don't want to lose my temper at all.

One of the husband and wife was inexplicable, and the other was thoughtful, allowing Ao Ya to speak passionately.

Yes, Ji Mo couldn't help but use the word 'speech' in his heart, because he felt that this word was the most appropriate.

“…… The queen mother heard that you brought a baby dragon with you this time? Is this true? Ao Ya finally asked, if she didn't ask again, the dragon king next to her couldn't help it.

So far, the Dragon King and Queen Dragon have ignored Ji Mo. In fact, the dragon king didn't know what the mermaid in front of him was called, and although the dragon queen was a little impressed, she didn't feel the need to greet her.

How can a mermaid be a dragon queen? Hum!

Ao Bai replied cautiously and vigilantly: "Yes." ”

"Then why didn't you bring it with you? Didn't I ask you to bring it here? Dragon King Ao Ze was quite dissatisfied with the geology. In his impression, the youngest son Ao Bai is not only extremely poor in talent and difficult to transform, but also silent, stubborn and stubborn, and has a very unpleasant personality.

Ji Mo also became expressionless, and he also didn't like the dragon king in front of him: Heh~ Reunited after a long absence, this is how you communicated with your own son? It's a bit excessive.

"Swimming from Sicily, it's too far for the young dragon, and Yi'er needs to adapt and rest, so I didn't bring it here." Ao Bai explained neither humbly nor arrogantly.

A smile rose at the corner of Ao Ya's mouth, and she asked repeatedly: "Yi'er?" It's called Ao Yi? So is he okay now? Oh, there are not even experienced old turtles in the old Dragon Palace, what does the little turtle who has just come out to do things know? You're so confused, you should have brought it here to take care of it! ”

Ji Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's named Ao Yi." Yi'er was born in the last cold season, she was too young, and it was really not easy to swim so far with us for the first time. Rest assured, the little turtle housekeeper over there takes good care of her. Ji Mo was helpless, thinking that if he didn't take the initiative to speak, he would probably be dumb today.

The dragon queen was stunned for a while, and together with the dragon king, she finally looked at the mermaid a few times, they looked at the mermaid who was generous and well-spoken, and for a long time, Ao Ya pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and reluctantly responded: "Is it?" But the little turtle is not as experienced as the old turtle, he is still tender, where do you understand! ”

Ao Bai watched his parents snub his partner, and he was already dissatisfied, and at this time, he heard his mother bluntly say that his partner 'didn't understand', and he immediately defended it:

"How could Ji Mo not understand? When I went to Fenghai, I only took him, after Yi'er was born, I was busy managing Fenghai every day, Yi'er was mostly taken care of by Ji Mo, what did he not understand? ”

Ao Bai's firm attitude, tough tone, and sharp words simply surprised his parents: this, is this Ao Bai? Is this still our taciturn young son?

"Yes, is that so?" Ao Yana said in a sneer, inevitably a little embarrassed.

Ji Mo secretly clenched his partner's hand and signaled the other party to calm down, he smiled and made a round: "Yi'er is our child, how we take care of him, we should take care of him." Ao Bai is really busy, he needs to deal with all the affairs in the sea, and there are groups of fierce sharks and poisons in the Sicilian Sea, how can he do it if he doesn't cheer up? Thanks to Ao Bai who never dared to relax for half a point, Yi'er was born and grew up safely. ”

Ji Mo's words were hidden in the mian, and there was obviously something in the words, which was his tentative meaning.

The dragon king didn't say anything else, but this kind of thing was understood as soon as he heard it, and he looked at the mermaid a few times again, frowning, his eyes were deep and faintly dissatisfied.

Ji Mo smiled politely, and he didn't look at each other for a long time, it was not appropriate to look directly at the elders, especially after he had just said those words.

The Dragon Queen is also not stupid, she also knows it, and looks at Ji Mo in surprise.

"You are the mermaid who was sent by the mermaid patriarch and is said to admire my son Ao Bai?" The Dragon King asked majestically.

Hearing such words again, Ji Mo still couldn't cry or laugh, and replied earnestly: "Yes, father, my name is Ji Mo." He thought to himself, since even his father and queen mother had shouted, he should simply introduce himself again, lest his name become 'mermaid' or 'that mermaid'.

After a few deep breaths, Ao Bai had already adjusted his feelings, and when he faced his parents again, his feelings would definitely fluctuate a lot.

"Hmph, the mermaid who dares to openly say that he admires the prince really has some ability!" The dragon king said with a smile, and he didn't know whether this was a compliment or a deprecation.

Ji Mo stopped his partner who wanted to speak, and said modestly: "Where and where, you have won the award, I really really admire Ao Bai." When I was still in the East China Sea, I heard that the six princes were brave and good at war, tolerant and generous, and they patrolled the sea with the guardian dragon every day, guarding the sea boundary of the East China Sea, so that we could live with peace of mind. At that time, I thought that if I could partner with such an excellent royal dragon, I would really die without regrets. ”

Ao Bai's eyes were shining, shining with affection, holding his partner's hand tightly, listening to Ji Mo continue.

“…… Later, with the blessing of the sea god, I got my wish! Ji Mo was frustrated and emotional, "Ao Bai took me to the Sicilian Sea, and I didn't worry about anything, because I believed in him." Today's qiē shows that I was indeed not wrong about the dragon in the first place! ”

It was another time to hide needles in the cotton, but he couldn't find the point that could attack or the mistake of picking the thorns, looking at Ji Mo's face with a respectful smile, the dragon king and the queen were a little angry.

Ao Bai let out a long sigh and said, "Ji Mo is my partner, he has suffered a lot with me, but he has never complained for half a sentence, and gave birth to our Yi'er." Father and Mother, I am very satisfied with the partner you have found for me! ”

The dragon king and queen looked at the young son silently, not sure whether the other party was telling the truth or the opposite, after all, there has never been a royal dragon in the ocean who has ever found a mermaid as a partner. Admittedly, they also tried to find a suitable female dragon for Ao Bai, but they were all politely rejected for various reasons. Looking at Ao Bai, the young son of the weak dragon who couldn't transform into a shape, the dragon king was angry, and he put it away, and the dragon queen was angry, so he simply accepted Ji Mo, who was pushed up by the mermaid patriarch.

This is how the two parties became partners, in fact, it can be said that it is crooked.

Ao Ya looked at Ji Mo with very complicated eyes, and couldn't help but think in her heart: Could it be that my son Ao Bai's destined partner is really a mermaid?

The dragon king also thought: did they really bring back a young dragon named Ao Yi? This shouldn't be wrong, it is said that the people in the old Dragon Palace have seen it with their own eyes. This mermaid is indeed not simple, articulate and clear-headed, and he still repeatedly uses words to test me and want me to speak?

"Really? If you like it, it's fine. The dragon queen said lightly.

Ji Mo kept smiling, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: You obviously understand, but you keep pretending to be stupid! Don't you worry about Ao Bai's safety when you hear that the poison of the fierce sharks in the Sicilian Sea is swarming and rampant? Well, even if you don't worry about Ao Bai, then Ao Yi is your grandchild, aren't you worried about your direct grandchildren?

"Thank you to the queen mother for taking the trouble to find a partner for me in the first place." Ao Bai said very earnestly.

Ao Ya looked at her young son again in disbelief, her hand clenched into a fist under the sleeve of her wide robe, and she didn't know what to say.

There was a brief eerie silence in the hall.

Ao Bai once again looked at the small door in front of him seemingly casually, and Ji Mo noticed his partner's inquiring gaze, and then glanced over there.

At the small entrance leading to the apse, there is a beautiful coral screen in front of it, and Ao Han, the prince of the East China Sea, and his companion Ao Xiang are nervously and anxiously listening to the conversation in the front hall.

*****

Listen, the front hall suddenly stopped moving.

“？” Ao Xiang had no master, his eyes were red and swollen, he looked at his partner pleadingly, and gently pushed Ao Han.

"Stop crying." Ao Han whispered and said soothingly, his eyes were blue and black, and he was also exhausted.

Their only son, Ao Feng, is already sick and dying.

Ao Xiang cried silently, like a drowning man grasping for driftwood, and repeatedly pushing his partner hard to force him to swim out.

"You—don't cry yet." Ao Han whispered to persuade, he was in a dilemma, the wolf was unbearable, and he pushed and pulled with his partner.

In this way, the movement was transmitted to the front hall.

Ji Mo looked at his nose and nose and heart, as if he had settled down, but what he was thinking about was the little dragon at home: Yi'er shouldn't be crying, right? It's been so long, it should have been coaxed by Rong Tuo and them, children, they are all forgetful, just coax it......

Of course, the dragon king and queen dragon also knew who was hiding behind, their expressions were unnatural, and there was a deep prayer in the eyes of the young son.

In the end, Ao Bai spoke, and he said loudly: "Since Brother Wang and sister-in-law are here, why don't you come out to meet?" Could it be that the way I look after my transformation scared you? ”

The pushing and muttering in the back suddenly stopped.

A moment later, Ao Han and Ao Xiang both swam out.

Ji Mo raised his eyes and greeted him calmly with his gaze: That is Ao Bai's eldest brother and the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea? Well, it looks like the Dragon King; Is the crying red eye next to him swollen into walnuts the crown princess? It seems that their child Ao Feng is indeed very sick, and his parents are about to collapse, alas......

While crossing the fish's face and thinking quickly, Ao Bai had already stepped forward with his partner to say hello.

"Brother Wang, sister-in-law Wang."

Ji Mo painted the gourd again and saluted, but this time he couldn't get out of the way because of an emergency.

When Ji Mo swam in front of him, Ao Xiang excitedly grabbed the mermaid's hand, choked up and said, "No need to be polite, your name is Ji Mo, right?" My name is Ao Xiang, and I didn't do well enough, when you and Ao Bai were partners before, I happened to take Xiaofeng back to Xihai, not in the Dragon Palace. Otherwise, we would have known each other for a long time. ”

Ji Mo was taken aback, he didn't expect that the dignified and weak sister-in-law Wang behaved so heroically, he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, because he felt that the other party was simply trying to eat milk, as if he was going to pinch his hand off.

"Oh, it's okay, Wang, sister-in-law, it's still too late for us to know each other." Ji Mo complained bitterly, he didn't like the intimate contact from strangers at all, and he was simply not the slightest bit defenseless.

Ao Bai quickly came to the rescue, he forcefully withdrew his partner's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang is too worried, Ji Mo won't mind that." ”

"Let's all come and talk." The Dragon King spoke majestically, "Ao Bai...... It's a rare joy to bring his companion Drake back with you, you are brothers, and you should get together more. The Dragon King turned a corner when he spoke, and he barely picked up Ji Mo.

Ao Han looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression, he looked at Ao Bai's human form, and he was still happy for his brother's successful transformation: if anyone maintains the beast form of a young dragon for the rest of his life, it will definitely be a nightmare, and he can't raise his head to be a dragon at all.

But what made Ao Han feel uneasy was that Ao Bai actually looked so calm, not at all like before, looking at him with adoring and longing eyes.

After a while, they all sat down, the dragon king and the queen were still sitting upright, Ji Mo Aobai and Ao Han Aoxiang were sitting on both sides, and there was some food on the table in front of them.

Ji Mo felt funny when he saw it: Hey~ The Dragon Palace here is really like that, and our Sicilian Sea looks much easier and simpler.

"Why don't you see Xiaofeng? I haven't seen him in a long time, and I don't know if he remembers me. Ao Bai asked with a smile, not wanting to go around in circles anymore.

Ji Mo immediately became energetic, and said in his heart: Hmm, here, this is the beginning.

As soon as these words came out, Ao Xiang on the other side whimpered and cried, her voice was extremely hoarse, and it seemed that she was crying too much. "Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng he, he woo woo...... O god of the sea, my little Feng he, he...... Woo woo woo ......" Ao Xiang couldn't finish a sentence at all, crying so much that he couldn't breathe.

Ao Han immediately hugged his partner gently, couldn't help whispering comfort, and let out a long sigh.

"Sister-in-law Wang, what's wrong? Could it be Xiao Feng's ......? Ao Bai was relieved and asked worriedly, but he already had his own young dragon, and as a father, he must always be vigilant, because Ao Yi has not yet been able to protect himself.

Seeing this, the dragon king's straight back finally fell down, supporting the armrest and frowning.

Ji Mo saw it and was still very sympathetic: birth, old age, sickness and death have been hardships and disasters in the world since ancient times.

"You're far away in Sicily, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it." At the critical moment, it was actually the dragon queen who opened her mouth, "Xiaofeng...... He's sick, he's been sick for a long time. Alas, the priests tried their best, but to no avail, it was all waste! Later, I went to invite the high priest of my mother's family, Xihai, to come over, but he didn't know that he had no choice! Alas, alas, alas~" The dragon queen lamented again and again, and finally revealed her true feelings, and did not hold it again.

But Ji Mo's heartstrings tightened even more, because he was keenly aware that after the Dragon Queen finished saying that, there was obviously something unfinished, but she didn't say it, but looked at Ji Mo scrutinically.

- The Dragon Queen is assessing? What to assess?

Ao Bai expressed his regret and concern at the right time, "How can this be? Before I left, wasn't Xiaofeng still very lively and healthy? Why did you suddenly get so sick? ”

The little white dragon silently stretched out his hand and held the mermaid's tightly, and the husband and wife were waiting for it.

Ji Mo was furious by the dragon queen, and he said carefully: "The ocean is so big, find a way to invite a few more priests, there will always be priests who have a way." ”

The crossing fish originally thought that his words were stable enough to find out what to do, but who knew that Ao Xiang actually pounced again.

Yes, the royal female dragon of the West Sea pounced on Ji Mo again, Ao Bai's heart was on fire, and it was not good to kick the princess's sister-in-law out, so he could only hug Ji Mo and quickly avoid it.

Ao Xiang pounced, her eyes flashed with a crazy light, and Ji Mo was almost panicked when she saw it.

"Ji Mo, Ji Mo, listen to me." Ao Xiang nervously held his head in both hands and trembled, but his voice was unusually soft.

Ao Han hugged his partner tightly and cast an apologetic glance at his brother.

"What is this?" The Dragon King was furious and said angrily, "Is there anything you can't sit and say well? Xiao Feng grew up watching Ao Bai, would he be unwilling to help? ”

Ji Mo's face cooled down with his heart, if he couldn't hear the voice-over again, he wouldn't be Ji Mo.

"Father's words are strange." Ao Bai's face was even more ugly, and he said bluntly: "I did watch Xiaofeng grow up, within the scope of my ability, of course I am willing to help, but if it is beyond my ability, then I can't!" ”

The dragon king sat crookedly, his expression complicated and changing, and finally leaned back and stopped talking.

"Ji Mo, Ji Mo, you listen to me, you listen to me!" Ao Xiang was crazy, and his voice was fast: "Ji Mo, we found the high priest of the West Sea to treat Xiao Feng, although the high priest failed to cure Xiao Feng, he proposed a way. The high priest gave me a secret medicine, and now there is only a medicine guide, I heard that you also have a little dragon, his name is Ao Yi, right? The high priest said that as long as he obtained the heart protection blood of the young dragon with the same vein shortly after birth, Xiao Feng might be saved! Xiaofeng can be saved! Ao Xiang roared, his muscles bulging, and he only shouted at Ji Mo and a mermaid.

Ao Xiang has the sensitivity of being a female, and she can already judge through guò's eavesdropping at the beginning: Ji Mo is very respected and loved by Ao Bai, and his status in the family is definitely not low; He's just a weak mermaid, so he should be a good breakthrough - as for Ao Bai? She didn't even think about it, she didn't dare.

"What do you say? Heart-to-heart? Ao Bai's face turned pale, and he asked sharply.

"Yes, the heart blood, the young dragon's heart blood, Ao Yi must be suitable! Uncover the baby dragon's heart scales and pierce the heart with a crystal poke to obtain heart blood. That's what the High Priest said, as long as you help, as long as you are willing to help, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! I am eternally grateful to you! Ao Xiang roared hoarsely, and finally, she fell in front of Ji Mo crying, holding Ji Mo's fish tail with both hands.

"A lifetime of gratitude? Forever grateful? Ji Mo trembled with anger, and then laughed in disbelief with anger, he yelled, "What do I want your gratitude for?" Can your gratitude be compared to Yi'er? It's ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”

Ao Bai didn't say a word
