The small border country near the northern part of the West Sea is called Zhaosheng Kingdom, although it is small, but because it is close to the sea, it has extremely prosperous maritime trade, rich resources, and peace and security. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And the most prosperous city in the Zhaosheng Kingdom is the capital Jing'an.

Due to the geographical advantages, some fishermen living at sea have also started to work as human traffickers. It is not a strange thing that there are mermen in the West Sea in the Zhaosheng Kingdom, and those traffickers sell the mermen they catch in the sea as a treasure on the black market. The merman woman is born beautiful, and the tears she sheds are all gems, so the price of the merman has become sky-high. Moreover, the merman is really rare, so only the princes and nobles of the Zhaosheng Kingdom can really buy the next merman.

And the place where the woman's memory began came from Jing'an in this Zhao Holy Country.

On this day, the sun is rising, and Chaoyang Lane, the largest black market in Jing'an City, is very lively, and what catches your ears is the noisy traffic in the alley. In addition to the sky-high mermaids in the black market, there are countless slaves of all kinds. The fate of slaves is really different from that of the merman, and their existence as the lowest people is really rich and poor, and human life is cheap, but that's it.

She, Qingli, is the protagonist of today's auction.

She still remembered that she had just sneaked out of the Ice Fountain Palace to play, but she didn't want to be caught by fishing nets. She was only eight years old, and she hadn't learned any spells yet, so no matter how she tried to break free from the net, she was helpless.

Qingli trembled and looked at many people who were different from herself looking at her with strange eyes, and after a long time, the leader of the traffickers shouted loudly: "This merman girl was just salvaged this morning, and she looks extremely watery, and she will definitely be a beauty who will captivate the country and the city when she grows up!" Start now, everyone hurry up and quote! The old rule, the one with the highest price wins! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people below chirped.

A few big men with deep pockets began to compete.

"One thousand taels!"

"Five thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels!"

……

"One hundred thousand taels...... Gold! ”

Suddenly, the voice of an extremely clear young man resounded throughout the alley, and everyone looked back, even Qingli, who had been tied and trapped in the bucket, was attracted by his voice and poked his little head out curiously.

It was a young man in brocade who was surrounded by many people, with a graceful bearing. The sun is warm, reflecting on the dark yellow wide-sleeved robe, the young man is thin and thin, his face is as bright as the moon, and he is as handsome as he sees all over his body.

Qingli had also seen many handsome mermaid men, but just by looking at this young man, he felt that everything in the world had lost its color. She didn't know that there were men in the world who were comparable to the women of their merman race. It's just that his expression is cold, with a maturity that does not match his age, and his low eyebrows are rebellious and extravagant.

It was the first time for Shang Lian to set foot in this kind of place where human traffickers gathered, as the son of the prime minister, there was never a shortage of servants around him, but most of them were clumsy, and there was never a one who was agreeable, so today he wanted to personally remove and choose a slave he wanted.

He had heard of the merman since he was a child, and they all said that the merman woman was weird and demonic, and her spells were superb.

On this day, he had this plan.

Therefore, although he came to Chaoyang Lane early, he just wandered around casually and did not make any moves. Until, a trafficker came with a bucket containing a mermaid girl and began to call for an auction. Without even thinking about it, he shouted the price.

Shicai just glanced at the bucket from a distance, and when he walked in, he couldn't help frowning slightly, it was actually a thin and weak young female mermaid. Her hands were tightly tied behind her with ropes, and under her was a vermilion fishtail, which shook gently in the water, and the fishtail spread out like a veil in an instant, like a manzhu sawa blooming in the moonlight, blooming like fire.

Although she was restrained, she still couldn't hide the stubbornness and unwillingness in her eyes, and the eyes that looked closely at him were complicated, but she was not afraid.

Her appearance is not true to what everyone said, even in such an embarrassing situation, she still can't hide her beauty. She wore a long pink dress embroidered with delicate peony flowers, a gold lock around her waist, silver bells on her wrists, her long hair falling like a waterfall, her facial features were bright and eye-catching, and her small chin was slightly raised.

Shang Lian pursed his lips again, seeing that her appearance was by no means an ordinary merman, he couldn't help but look down on her condescendingly. He looked at her playfully for a week before he slowly spoke, "My name is Shang Lian, what's your name?" ”

Qingli felt the inexplicable provocation of this young man, so she straightened her waist, looked directly at him without humility or arrogance, and said calmly, "My name is Qingli, and I am the princess of the merman." When you see this princess, how can you not kneel! ”

"Are you a mermaid princess?" He looked at her closely, making eye contact with her. There was such a clear look in the girl's eyes...... Suddenly, his heart shuddered, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

"Of course I'm the princess of the merman, but today I was caught by you humans, so I want to kill or chop up, whatever you want." Although Qingli was young, the unwilling humiliation and eloquent words in her eyes made Shang Lian feel amused for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he just looked at her with a smile.

Qingli was blinded by his look, she has been instilled with the idea that human beings are bad people since she was a child, and now this young man has been staring at her like this, she can't calm down, and her tears don't know when they fell, but she still bit her lip tightly, and said: "The queen mother said that you humans are all bad people, so if you have any tricks, hurry up!" ”

Shang Lian smiled again, stepped forward in two steps, and lifted her jaw with a white hand, "It's you, come with me." But...... I'm a bad person. ”

He snapped his fingers with his right hand, and the old slave behind him immediately stepped forward, holding a bowl of black decoction medicine in his hand, pinching Qingli's mouth and pouring the entire bowl of medicine.

"You...... What did you give me a drink? Qingli suddenly became scared.

Shang Lian showed a nonchalant smile, and his voice was extremely weak: "From now on, you can follow me Shang Lian." Qingli ...... Forget your past, your princess, your country...... You just have to remember my name, Shang Lian. ”

She stared at the young man in front of her in front of her, wanting to say something, but she could only murmur two words: "Shang Lian...... Shanglian ......"

It was the twelfth year of Zhaosheng, and it was the first time Shang Lian and Qingli met.

He is the prime minister's son surrounded by everyone, and she is the mermaid princess who is about to forget everything.

All this is just the beginning of the story. (To be continued.) )
