Atractylodes was brought to an altar, which was built entirely of a black stone from the bottom of the sea, carved with many intricate patterns, and was magnificent and gorgeous. On the altar, an old mermaid dressed in a moonlight gauze looked at him. The scene is fantastic, like a CG picture of a Western fantasy game. It's just that in the aesthetics of Baizhu, it's quite funny - the gauze is very beautiful, whether it is a beautiful woman or a beautiful man, it is not worthy of an old man.

Huberley was on the sidelines, still looking at him with that waveless look.

Atractylodes swims up to the altar.

――On the way, Baizhu thought about escaping, but it was clear that he couldn't run away.

There was a huge crystal ball on the altar, like a witch in a fairy tale, and the priest looked at Baizhu with a noble and detached gesture: "Cole Sly, put your hand on it." ”

Baizhu did so indifferently, and after a while, the sphere emitted a milky white light, which became more and more intense, and Baizhu opened his eyes in surprise for a while.

The priest nodded with satisfaction: "It's him." And he said, "Lord Kuka, please put your hand on it as well." ”

Baizhu wanted to withdraw his hand, and the sacrificial eyes glared: "Don't move!" ”

Huberley's hand was covered, and in the cool water, even though the heat of the mermaid's skin was incomparable to that of humans, a faint warmth was still transmitted. Baizhu was a little uncomfortable.

Huberley looked at Baizhu's hand covered by his big palm, and his heart suddenly softened for a moment. The hands were smaller than his own, whiter than his own, slender and white—at first glance they were the hands of a pampered man, like a woman.

If Baizhu knew that Huberley thought of him like this, he would definitely explode!

Baizhu itself was not pampered and grew up, he has endured hardships since he was a child, and he has been cooking and doing housework by himself when he grows up, Bai Qi is his parasite, parasite! Although the hands are white and tender, I don't know how many calluses I have; The body that Baizhu crossed over - Cole Sly, was lost in the war since he was a child, and was raised by this for a while and that for a while, it can be said that he grew up eating a hundred family meals, what is the white and tender hand of this kind of person? It's just that it's good to be raw, plus the mermaid's skin is tough and not easy to calloon, but it's still different from a woman's hand. But Huberley leads the troops all the year round, and whoever has a tender hand compared to him can pinch out the water.

On the crystal ball, the two hands overlapped, and after a while, the milky white light faded, and a trace of golden light was transmitted through, more and more, and finally the top of the altar was golden.

"The next sacrifice," the old priest said with some excitement, "Lord Golden Kuka, please be sure to finish the marriage as much as possible." ”

"Huh? Does gold represent anything? Baizhu asked.

The old priest didn't even look at him, and said to Huberley, "Lord Kuka, I will ask Your Majesty to get married early, if you can, you can do it first," and smiled at Huberley vaguely, "for the sake of the mermaid's future." ”

"So what does gold represent?" Baizhu asked curiously. Huberley looked at him silently, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes still had no warmth, and then bowed to the priest and took Baizhu away.

Atractylodes is very unhappy. He had been trapped in this house for a long time.

Outside, Hubley's guards were guarding, and he couldn't escape.

It's strange that merfolk also build houses to live in, and although their houses are decorated with shells and coral, they are generally not much different from human ones. There was a bed, a large shell, and inside it was piled with shiny soft sea sand, and most of the merfolk slept on the bed; There are mirrors, which I don't know from which shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, are collected to tidy up their own appearance. The houses are built of trees from the bottom of the sea, sturdy and with a peculiar mermaid aesthetic, and in some places dotted with starfish and pearls, fantastical and wonderful.

But Baizhu didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all.

He was trapped.

Trapped in dreams, trapped at the bottom of the sea. It occurred to him that maybe it would be a good thing to die immediately in his dream, because if he didn't die, he didn't know how many more years he would have to live here.

It's just that he's really not sure, will he really go back if he commits suicide?

The sun's rays are not felt at the bottom of the sea, but there is a difference between day and night. The merfolk have their own set of timekeeping methods, and strictly speaking, they are not much different from human schedules. And around the mermaid's dwelling, there are many night pearls, which are their sun and their starry sky. The brightest one, in the most central building of Atlantis, was now slowly covered by a heavy veil of silk.

The glow of the ocean floor dimmed.

Huberley walked into the room, Baizhu heard the sound and looked over, the other party still had no expression, and when he came in, he turned around and closed the door.

Baizhu sat on the shell bed, looked at him, and said sincerely: "Dear." I feel like we need to talk. ”

"Didn't you just talk about it?" Huberley swam straight over, and Baizhu complained wildly in his heart:, you are talking about it, you knocked me out directly, okay! But he said sincerely: "Huberley, I really can't do it, can I talk about it?" Actually, my situation is quite special."

Huberley sat next to him, looking at him with starry eyes, full of pleading and begging to be let go. Huberley slowly lay down, then got up and wrapped his long arms, and Baizhu was caught off guard and fell down on the bed, leaning against the other's chest. Damn, didn't you say you're not a?! Who did you learn all this from!!

"Say it. What a special case. Huberley still spoke coldly.

Baizhu pushed awkwardly, but he couldn't move, and reflexively flicked his tail. "You let me go first. Don't you feel awkward about that? ”

"It's better to get used to it first." Hubelay spoke, "I haven't hugged anyone else, I'm afraid I won't be used to it." ”

Baizhu was a little speechless: "No, no, no, you let go of me first, let's talk first." ”

Huberley didn't let go: "That's it." I adapt to adapt. You said. ”

"Huh." Baizhu laughed dryly, was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, I'm not Cole Sly, can you let me go, I'm here to cross - that is, I'm not Cole Slye of this world, and I'm not a human fish, I'm a human being, hehe" Baizhu laughed dryly and was silent. I don't think anyone will believe me when I say it.

The other party didn't speak, Baizhu looked up, facing a pair of cold eyes

Baizhu silently lowered his head.

"I just went to meet His Majesty." Hubelay didn't say anything, "Your Majesty said, the wedding is early. ”

"Oh." Baizhu said.

"For the future of the mermaid, for the birth of the next priest. This is our mission engraved in our blood. After the next priest is born, if you want to leave, no one will stop you. ”

The point is that my brother doesn't want to marry you!

Baizhu was depressed, like a frosted eggplant, and the atmosphere was sluggish and silent.

There was silence for a long time.

Hubelay suddenly spoke: "Let's finish up." As he spoke, he curled his tail.
