Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Sea Lady (Memories of the Oriental Spirit, Part I)

The waters of the East China Sea are not as clean as those of the South China Sea, and not only that, but they are also a little dirty, with a deep blue color and even some blackness. With such water quality, large schools of fish do not come here, and only monsters such as mermaids live here. The East China Sea is said to be a burial ground for ships and mermaids, and the rough seas have taken many lives.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the water in the East China Sea was the purest, and the demise of a sea tribe caused the destruction of the spirit of the sea and brought disaster to the sea.

At this moment, Suweni was wearing a plain white gauze dress, slender and tall, standing on the reef by the East China Sea, the sea breeze blowing her long black and blue hair, and the corners of her skirt. As beautiful as the elves of the sea.

She looked at the dark sea, her eyes revealing an infinite sense of death.

"Mom." Young Dongfang Lie pulled his trouser legs, wading in the water in the shallow beach, clutching a hermit crab with teeth and claws in his hand, a cluster of flames rose, roasting the crab, he turned his head, and looked at his mother with a grin, a small wave hit him, almost overturning him.

In the era when the honorific title of "mother" was popular, Dongfang Lie was used to calling mother, if it was looked at in other people's children, it was a manifestation of no etiquette. But Suvani and her son never cared about that.

Su Weini shifted her gaze from the sea to Dongfang Lie, a faint smile appeared on her face, two small dimples immediately appeared, she slowly squatted down, and beckoned to Dongfang Lie, "Lie'er come here." ”

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Dongfang Lie stepped on the water, Suweni grabbed his arm, and he climbed up the reef.

"I'm looking after the house," Suweni whispered.

"Isn't home to the west? To the east is the sea. Dongfang Lie asked puzzled.

The sound of the waves was loud, and Suweni was silent for a long time before replying, "Lie'er, do you know why your grandfather, uncles, and uncles don't like me? ”

"I know," Dongfang Lie stared at his big bright eyes and said without thinking, "Grandpa said that his mother is a demon girl. ”

"Then do you know what a witch is?" Suvani said, wiping the mud spots from Dongfang Lie's face with her hands.

Dongfang Lie shook his head, but nodded again.

"You know what?" Suweni still had a smile on her face.

"Grandpa won't let me say it, he said...... Mother is a demon girl on the sea," Dongfang Lie sat beside her, "Mom, I don't understand much, so is this why you said that there is a home on the sea?" ”

"Your grandfather didn't lie to you, I am indeed a demon girl on the sea, but I am not from the human race, I am a member of the Bityas tribe, and the Bityas are also known as the 'sea people'." Suweni said.

Little Dongfang Lie looked up at his mother, "Bityas...... Is that why they don't like you? ”

"The Bityas clan was also a branch of the human race thousands of years ago, and the clansmen are also the descendants of Hong Jun, the founder of Bityas, Hong Jun Yashu, and the great-great-grandson of the ancient Xuan Emperor Hong Jun Dila; Now the founding emperor of the Hongjun Empire, the first generation of the Xuanhuang Emperor, Hongjun Dila, announced to the outside world that he is a descendant of the ancient Xuanhuang, in fact, the bloodline of their Hongjun family is not pure, but only a descendant of the surname of the ancient Hongjun, that is to say...... We, Bityas, are the orthodox Xuan Queens, Lie'er, I say so...... Do you understand? ”

After all, Dongfang Lie is still young, and it takes a lot of effort to understand, but he is also a smart child, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning, "Mom, I know." ”

"Hmm...... That's why they're against mom marrying your dad, which is ironic. Suweni also sat beside him, clasping her hands on her knees, looking at the sinking sea, "The Bityas clan only has two families, 'Su' and 'Yu', and my mother is the eldest daughter of the Su family. ”

"Mom, what about the rest of the Su clan?" Dongfang Lie asked curiously.

"The Su family is the only one with her mother, and the Yu family raised her mother, but ...... After your father and I left Bityas, the big island in the East China Sea where the clansmen lived was secretly attacked by mysterious forces, leaving only half of the surviving clansmen, and there was less and less news about them, and my mother also went back to look for them, but there was no one on the island anymore. Suvani bit her lip, as if recalling a brutal massacre, and although he had not seen how the Rain had escaped from the enemy's butcher's knife, he could imagine the cruelty.

"I will protect my mother, no matter what race my mother is, I only know that you are my mother." Dongfang Lie stood up and said.

Suweni also stood up, "I know that Lie'er feels most sorry for her mother, she is really a good son of her mother," she said, she turned her head to the gloomy sky, "But, someone else...... can't tolerate my mother staying in the Oriental family. ”

"Is Mommy leaving?"

"Mommy won't go."

"Mom is afraid that those people will bully you? If anyone dares to do anything unseemly to my mother, I will be the first to come out and defeat him, no matter who he is, even if he is a father...... I won't allow it either. ”

"What if Grandpa won't let you protect me?"

"Then I'll pull out his beard and make him obediently listen to me!"

"What if Emperor Xuan doesn't allow it?"

"Then I'll ......"

Su Weni took his hand, and the two began to walk back, "Lie'er, you have to remember that you are the only heir of the Dongfang family in the future, no matter whether you will have younger brothers and sisters in the future, after your father, the status of the head of the family must be you, so you must not do anything rebellious, you can't say what you said just now, if there is really a day when your mother is persecuted, don't hate your father, don't hate this family, and don't hate the avenue of the human race, because ...... Someday, you will understand that sometimes, parting is for a better reunion. ”

"Mom, I don't understand, what is called parting, and reunion. I just want my mom to be safe for the rest of my life. ”

"You'll understand when you're older."
