Chapter 059: Refusal

The palace looks resplendent on the outside, but on the inside it is quite simple, but it is very distinctive. Beaded curtains made of shells, dining tables and chairs made of conchs, and coral reefs made of various ornaments and supplies.

The dazzling light of the glass beads on the roof of the palace penetrates down, scattering stars, and decorating the interior with colorful colors like a fairy tale world.

Xiao Xiang'er's father is called Xiao Cheng, and he is the lord of the Liuli clan in the undersea city. They have been living on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and the water is excellent, and the abundance of marine products in the sea will soon become rich.

They keep a low profile, and the money they make is focused on the equipment used to build the underwater city. The sea is dangerous, the creatures are fierce, and natural disasters are constant, making it harder to survive than on land, so we know how strong walls are needed for shelters. That's why their homes are simple and functional, not luxurious.

"Where's my father?" Xiao Xiang'er asked the heart in the palace.

He said that Miss, your birthday is approaching, and the string of pearl necklaces promised to you has not been enough, and he heard that there are mussels on the bottom of the sea in the south, so he is in a hurry to fish. Let the young lady entertain the distinguished guests first, and then make amends when he comes back later. Xin'er is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her face is still childish.

Xiao Xiang'er smiled, in a good mood. She took Liluo and Si Yu to visit the interior of the palace with great interest. The layout inside is similar to that of the hollow characters, the rooms are on the edge, the middle is the hall, the study, the meeting hall, etc., and the kitchen is not located in the palace.

"My dad probably won't come back tonight, I'll take you to rest first, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Xiao Xiang'er saw that it was ten o'clock in the evening, so she arranged for them to stay first.

The underwater city is hidden deep under the sea all year round, and the sunlight is unreachable, and the city is lit with fish bones or luminous objects, and without clocks, it will be difficult to distinguish day and night. It is not easy for their family to live here for hundreds of years.

That night, they checked into the palace of the undersea city, Si Yu and Liluo's room was next to each other, and the two spent the night for the first time in this empty and closed, magical and strange place, both of them had a lot of thoughts and insomnia.

Early the next morning, Liluo had just fallen asleep in a daze when he was suddenly woken up by a noise. Obviously, I couldn't sleep, so I immediately got up and freshened up. When he was ready to go out, Si Yu was already waiting by the door. The two of them couldn't help but smile bitterly when they looked at each other, they barely slept last night, so they were not in good spirits today.

Si Yu thoughtfully brought her food and let her continue to sleep after eating, while he wanted to meet Xiaocheng and talk about Liulizhu. He knew that Liluo was not used to dealing with such a scene, and tried to avoid her attendance.

In the main hall, many people gathered together to talk about something enthusiastically, and from time to time bursts of laughter broke out, so lively. When Si Yu appeared, everyone immediately found out, so they stopped talking and looked at him one after another.

Among them, Xiao Cheng's appearance was quite eye-catching, he was standing in the middle of the main hall at the moment, dancing with his hands, and his energetic voice and rough and hearty laughter could be heard from a distance. He was a strong, tall man, with thick, slightly curly hair and a scruffy beard. It is in stark contrast to the petite and delicate Xiao Xiang'er beside her.

"Ahh

"Where, where, we came uninvited, and took the liberty of disturbing. Si Yu returned the salute humbly and gently.

A few people exchanged a few words of greeting, and introduced a few of them one by one, all of whom are the elite backbones of the undersea city. Si Yu also reported to his family and told him about the recent civil strife in Liuli Valley and the reappearance of the goddess. Xiaocheng expressed sadness over his father's death. At the same time, I am very sorry for not being able to do my part to turn the situation around.

"The woman who came with you last night was the new glass goddess?" he asked.

"Yes, our clan's mother-in-law has already tested the spiritual root, and there is no doubt that she is it. Si Yu told the truth.

"So this visit is for the glass beads?" Xiaocheng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Exactly. Si Yu also confessed.

Xiao Cheng paced slowly in the hall, as if thinking about the wording.

"Our Liuli clan was able to escape back then because of the prompting of the goddess. But in the past few hundred years, after we have settled down in each of our four veins, have we ever detected any breath of the goddess? We suspect that her soul has long since returned to chaos. ”

"Over the years, only we know how difficult our life is, how many twists and turns, how tormented, and how sad we are. The goddess brought us here and said that if we drop it, we will leave it to our own devices. Now, for the sake of the birth of a new goddess, it is not appropriate to take away the glass beads that we have been desperately guarding all our lives, right?"

"Although the goddess's grace is greater than the sky, but we have not been protected by the goddess for hundreds of years, nor have we received any more grace from her, why should we hand over the glass beads to the new goddess?"

The people of Xiaocheng are rough, and what they say is the first word, and every sentence is reasonable. "Although we have a new round of goddesses, we have not yet ascended to the throne, and everything is still unknown. Now that her cultivation is low, her spiritual power is weak, and she can only achieve positive results in the Year of the Monkey? Do we really want to put all our hopes on her?"

"Now that we are living a prosperous life, why bother to toss again? Isn't it better to live our life well?" Xiaocheng finally said lightly.

Si Yu frowned, quite disappreciative of Xiaocheng's remarks, and at the same time anxious that he had such a short-sighted opinion. "According to our mother-in-law's calculations, our Liuli clan is approaching in ten years, and we are not afraid that our Liuli clan and future generations will be extinct at that time?"

The people in the hall fell silent for a moment, they all calculated this prophecy, but they didn't want to believe it, after generations of hard work, their clan finally took a turn for the better, and they were about to be able to integrate into this society, and they really didn't want to fall short for various reasons.

"But I once swore at Xiang'er's mother's grave," Xiaocheng said with embarrassment. "In this life, I will give this glass bead as a dowry to my daughter. ”

Si Yu was a little angry when he heard this, the glass beads are sacred relics of the Liuli clan, but they are not personal items, how can they be used as gifts?

Xiaocheng looked at Si Yu carefully, only to see that he looked majestic and dignified, and then looked at his daughter, she had been staring at him secretly, with a dark look, and her heart moved slightly, and she had a plan.

"You are the son of Liuli Gu Si Jianghai, and my daughter is the daughter of Xiaocheng in the undersea city, how about our two families get married?" he suggested. In this way, he can fulfill his daughter's wish and fulfill the promise he made. Why not?

Xiao Xiang'er had been staying by his father's side, and when she heard this, she looked shy, and her heart was full of joy.

Si Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xiang'er, then lowered his head and refused indifferently. "Xiao Xiang'er is a good girl, I am a few years older than her, and I want to recognize her as my sister, I wonder if the Lord of Xiao City can fulfill it?"

Seeing that he refused without hesitation, Xiaocheng's face was not very good-looking. His daughter is as beautiful as a fairy, down-and-out and generous, and she is more than enough to match him Si Yu, she dares to refuse in person, embarrassing him in person, he doesn't want to go out of the underwater city.

The fire in Xiao Xiang'er's eyes dimmed. She knew that Si Yu already had a place in her heart, Liluo was such a personality and charming person, it was normal for him to like her, but she also had the right to pursue love, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would try to fight for it, wouldn't she?

Although Liluo was not at the scene, she also watched the whole process through the dream. When she heard Xiaocheng mercilessly point out that although she had the life of a goddess, she had not entered the divine position, saying that her cultivation was low and her spiritual power was weak, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. He's really hit the nail on the head, just stabbing you so blatantly that you have nowhere to hide.

She didn't blame them, when the former goddess was about to turn into chaos hundreds of years ago, she used the last trace of her divine sense to guide them, and there was nothing she could do after that. Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the four veins of the Liuli tribe have survived by their own efforts. has nothing to do with the former goddess, and she can't fight with her. What kind of face did she have to ask for the sacred relics of the original glass goddess?

Anyway, I'm lucky to have it, but I'm not killed. She doesn't force it. When Si Yu came to her with a helpless face, she was quite calm, but comforted him. "Why? so quickly lost your head and lost your confidence?"

"No, I'm just angry that they want to take the glass beads for themselves, they are sacred relics of the goddess, not personal belongings. He was still angry, unable to calm the anger in his heart.

"They've kept it for hundreds of years, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's theirs. Liluo was calm. "If it were me, and my ancestors had gone through so many trials and turns to protect something, I would not want to hand it over to someone who had not yet attained the climate. Pardonable. ”

Si Yu glared at her. "That's how you can see it?"

"What if you can't see it?

"Your cultivation progress is slow now, so you have improved by it, and if you can't get it, won't it stagnate your progress. He was anxious, but he couldn't help her, and he was annoyed about it.

"There is no way to be endless, I don't believe that without it, I can't enter the god throne yet. Liluo's expression was firm, with a rare determination.

Since they couldn't get the glass beads, they didn't stay longer, and then resigned to the people in Xiaocheng. Xiaocheng looked guilty, and he repeatedly apologized to Liluo, and he couldn't help him.

Liluo smiled indifferently and didn't care. "Lord Xiaocheng is serious, I understand your concerns very well, don't be embarrassed. ”

Xiaocheng still warmly retained, hoping that they could stay for a few more days, so that the people of the undersea city could admire the demeanor of the glass goddess. Si Yu was extremely angry when he heard this, but he was inconvenient to attack, and his face was cold.

Liluo raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, if it is convenient for the City Lord Xiao, can you take me to visit your Goddess Pavilion?"

Xiaocheng slapped his head, as if he had just remembered, and hurriedly said: "Indeed, it is really rude." ”

He hurriedly instructed his subordinates to hurry up and prepare melons, fruits and flowers, and go to the Goddess Pavilion to worship together.

Xiaocheng led them in the direction of the Goddess Pavilion, attracting many clansmen who came to see the excitement along the way. For hundreds of years, they have lived deep at the bottom of the sea, with little contact with the outside world, so they are quite curious.

I saw the handsome men and women, with exquisite facial features, clear eyebrows, elegant demeanor and extraordinary temperament. Such a pair of beauties is indeed rare.

The Shrine Pavilion of the Underwater City is located in a remote corner of a mountain stream, surrounded by weeds and moss. At first glance, it has not been taken care of for a long time.
