51. Chapter 51
The black shadow gracefully and comfortably spun around in the water, and when the elders' nervous hearts were about to pop out, finally a light flashed, and a familiar figure appeared in front of the elders.
"Gluttony, gluttony......" These are the well-informed four elders. Obviously, as soon as the original body of the uninvited guest in front of him was broken, not only the elders of the mermaid clan, but also the sea clans who came one after another couldn't help but put on a vigilant posture against the enemy.
"Xuan ......" Lan Xi was about to step forward, but was covered by the second elder who was timid in the past, and the old mermaid tightly dragged the little highness to the safe area hiding behind the large army.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. What is the reason why this powerful demon beast that only has legends suddenly came to the East China Sea?
The Great Elder's eyes swept to this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, took up his responsibilities and stood up and asked, "I wonder what Your Excellency has ordered here?" The tone was polite and detached.
As the saying goes, well water does not interfere with river water, and since the decline of the primitive realm, the East China Sea has not welcomed such a "guest" for hundreds of years. I saw that the Venerable in front of him was standing not far away, with a natural expression, as if the other party was not surrounded by a group of sea clans at this moment.
The fourth elder Lan Ding observed more carefully, his eyes fell on the sleeve of the visitor, and his pupils contracted suddenlyβthe other party's clothes were clean, and although they were at the bottom of the sea at a depth of ten thousand feet, they still did not get a drop of water.
Is it because it is carrying a water-repellent bead, or is it a realm that is completely supported by spiritual power? But either way, it shouldn't be underestimated.
In such a short period of time, Lan Ding had already increased the danger of the other party by two levels.
"Find someone." Xuan Mo, who was surrounded by a group of sea clans, said lightly.
"Who are you looking for?" The Great Elder asked.
β¦β¦ Lanxi, who was covered and hid behind him: "...... Uh-huh, hmm-hmm......"
Xuan Mo was silent for a moment, took out a big red gift box with the word Fu on it from the mustard seed space and handed it to the Great Elder, in the latter's surprised eyes, he said lightly: "I came to find you." β
Lancey: "......"
The Great Elder's gaze moved downward, stopping at the object that the visitor was carrying, his head slightly knotted. If he didn't guess wrong, what the other party mentioned was ...... New Year's gift to the elderly at home...... Health?
The reason why he knew so clearly was because he occasionally listened to the seafarers discussing what to send home for the New Year--Brain platinum was still popular in those years.
"Hello." Xuan Mo spoke at this time, "It's the first time I've come to the door, please forgive me for the disturbance." β
No one answered. The Great Elder, who was known for his wisdom, was also a little confused at the moment, and the atmosphere was silent, revealing a bit of untimely embarrassment, leaving only the "whining" sound of Lan Xi wanting to break free.
- Mom|'s Xuanmo, what are you doing!
In the end, it was the third elder who broke the silence with a word, he sensed some clues from the mark on Lanxi's body that belonged to a powerful demon beast, and asked tentatively, "You are the ...... of Your Highness?" β
Xuanmo: "Yes." β
The third elder took a breath, and his words were not finished: "Princess? β
Xuanmo: "......"
The alarm was lifted, and the sea tribes who wanted to see the excitement around were all blown away, and those who were driven away along with the onlookers were also Lan Xi, who wanted to stop talking.
I know that there is a conversation about myself not far away, but I can't hear it anyway, this feeling is really bad!
- After being found and driven out for the third time, Lancey finally put out the idea of eavesdropping.
Swimming slowly and depressedly, Lanxi suddenly found that someone around him was shouting his name, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was his former friends, Mussel Zhu Xiaozhu, Seahorse Wayne, and Ani with the fish, these three guys were hiding in the coral bushes, revealing a face to secretly greet Lanxi.
"Hey, Konishi, long time no see."
ββ¦β¦ We know a good place to hear the elders talking, do you want to come? β
"Come!" Lancey didn't hesitate.
The place that the three friends were referring to was a cave vacated under the coral bushes. The cave is not deep, and the opening is not large, the top is blocked by seaweed and coral, and the place is remote and few people come, so the four guys just sneaked down in the seaweed, deliberately minimizing the sense of survival.
-- These are the basic skills that they have developed when they were naughty when they were young, in order to avoid adults.
Moreover, at this moment, the person talking to did not have the heart to deliberately use his divine sense to probe the surroundings, so for a while, Lancy also succeeded in capturing the intermittent sound.
"Your Highness, he's still ...... Child, you ......"
"We can't accept it...... The princess ......"
"We merfolk...... No regrets......"
- It's the elders arguing, and they're really talking about themselves! It's strange that there is no voice of Xuan Mo in it.
Xuan Mo was looking for the Great Elder, was it really because there was something important? Or is it a business trip sent by the association? Lanxi's body crawled motionless among the sand and algae, but her mind was like a wild dog with a prolapsed anus.
No, not the task, they are discussing him.
Time seems to pass very slowly.
The quarrels of the elders went from flat to intense, then as if they were tired, and slowly returned to flattening. Just when the friends were about to fall asleep, Lanxi's ears caught a faint voice, it was Xuanmo!
"I ...... Swear by the original god ......"
Genshin swears? Is there anything that can make Xuanmo swear by the original god? The oath of the demon is different from that of humans, and after taking the oath, it means signing a contract with the Heavenly Dao, and the breach of contract will definitely be punished accordingly.
As the top oath, the meaning of the Genshin Oath can be imagined.
"It's out." Ani whispered.
The four little ones snuck back.
By the time the Great Elder found Lanxi, Lanxi was pretending to talk to his friends about human life, and there were iron boxes everywhere on the road, high-rise buildings like clouds, and subways shuttling underground like dragons......
Perhaps it was the audience that cheered him, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and when it came to his mobile phone, he also took the initiative to take out his Yali 8S to demonstrate - of course, there was no signal at the bottom of the sea, and even the mobile phone could no longer be used because of the water.
The Great Elder looked at Lan Xi quietly from a distance, and even the little stunned and sad he felt because of the damage to his mobile phone.
β¦β¦ His little highness seems to be more suitable for human society than the bottom of the sea.
Thinking of the conversation with the gluttony just now, the eldest elder sighed weakly, that's it, let them solve the matter of the cubs themselves.
Seeing this, "Grandpa......" Lanxi, who had been secretly paying attention to his surroundings, couldn't help but stop.
Grand Elder: "I'll go back in a few days." β
"Huh?"
"Listen to Xuanmo, your final exam is coming soon."
Lancey: "What the hell ...... "whatever!"
γ»
The world is changing so fast that Lancey finds it a little difficult to adapt.
Xuan Mo left after that conversation, and he didn't give Lan Xi a chance to inquire about the content of the conversation, but the "brain platinums" he left behind were collected by the elders.
Lancey couldn't help but smack her tongue, adding a little curiosity to her heart.
β¦β¦ What's going on? What did Xuan Mo do that made the elders have a great change in their impression of him? You must know that when Xuan Mo first arrived, the elders' attitude towards him was not what it is now.
Because of that Genshin Oath?
The curiosity in his heart was about to overflow, but this time, even the second grandfather, who was the best talker on weekdays, kept the content of the conversation secret to the end. In the end, he was really entangled by Lanxi and had no choice, so he had to come up with a sentence to prevaricate: "Xuanmo is very good......"
"If you like it, go after it."
ο½ ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ ο½ο½ οΌ
He really likes Xuanmo, and he plans to pursue it...... But why does it sound strange that such words come out of the mouths of my own parents?
And, if he's not mistaken, this time he went home with the aim of solving physical problems, right?
β¦β¦ Is it really necessary to first achieve great harmony in the body and then pursue unity in the soul?
Ahem, that sounds like ...... Not bad?
On the fourth day of the East China Sea, the Great Elder began to unceremoniously drive people out. As a parent, as long as he thought of his child skipping class and staying at home, and trying to find out the news in every possible way, the Great Elder was a little upset when he saw him.
Lancy: "...... Grandpa, you weren't like this before. β
Here it is again, it seems that since the last time, everyone around me has become wrong. It must have been Xuan Mo who said something to the grandfather, so the previous grandfathers didn't care if he went to class or not.
The Great Elder took a deep breath and suppressed the sudden urge to beat people in his heart, "Didn't you come back this time just to solve the trouble?" β
"Yes." Lancey nodded.
"Your fourth grandfather has already helped you find a solution."
"What?" Lancey's eyes lit up.
The Great Elder glanced at him and slowly spit out four words: "...... Desensitization therapy. β
γ»
The next day, the elders sent Lanxi to the vicinity of the floating island, and looked at his distant back, and several people were speechless for a long time.
"Did we do the right thing?" Even if the agreement had been reached, at this moment, the Great Elder still couldn't help but be suspicious.
"What's wrong? His Royal Highness likes that glutton, and gluttony likes His Royal Highness. In order to dispel our concerns, Gluttony even swore by the original god, boss, what are you worried about? "The Three Elders have always been so direct.
The second elder nodded in agreement.
The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the four elders were left bowing their heads and frowning, as if they were thinking about some important issue.
ββ¦β¦ Fourth, fourth? The three elders shouted in displeasure.
"What?"
"Do you have a problem with what I'm saying?"
The fourth elder hesitated and asked, "No, I'm just thinking, what is gluttony thinking?" β
The other three mermaids were slightly stunned, yes, why did the gluttony deliberately tell them not to reveal the content of the conversation to His Royal Highness, and to keep the Yuanshen oath secret, and even after listening to the so-called "emotion without regrets", they came up with a name for "desensitization therapy"?
After a long while, the second elder asked uncertainly, "Probably...... What is the taste of young people? β
They old fish don't understand.
The third elder rolled his eyes and said sharply: "Fart, obviously you just want to take advantage of our little highness." β
ββIt's still cheaper to deliver it yourself!
γ»
Returning to S City, Lan Xi stood in front of Xuanmo Gate, hesitating and not knocking.
Not long ago, he just got a new mobile phone from his assistant Zhao Xiaotao, and borrowed Du Niang to understand the so-called "desensitization therapy".
β¦β¦ He is not stupid, combined with many previous clues, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart that he couldn't believe: Xuanmo will not be ...... Like him, right?
It was the only explanation he could think of.
Click.
The door was opened from the inside, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Lancey.
β¦β¦ Don't be cowardly, just do it.
The mermaid gritted its teeth, and a carp pounced on it. Who knew that the other party subconsciously withdrew his body, and Lanxi's face ...... happened to hit the other party in an awkward position......
Familiar currents swept in.
Damn, it's so β hard.
