Chapter 3 Do You Want to Listen to Stories?

When the boss came back on the third day, he was full of murderous energy. Under the sleeves of the robe was stained with a blue liquid, with a faint aroma, this fragrance was very familiar, and there was the same aroma on the shark silk, but it was much lighter.

The brass bell on the door jingled seven times, and the boss opened his domain. A high platform suddenly appeared in the water-filled cavern. A bright light on the high platform shone directly on it, as if it was confined and fixed within the confines of the high platform. I looked up and followed the light, and there was a blue cave directly above the cave, and a blue moon hung above the hole.

The boss shook his sleeves and threw something on the high platform. A red dragon rushed out from the bottom of the pool, coiling and carefully catching a barely humanoid object that had fallen. The fragrance became stronger, and it was only then that I could smell what this fragrance wasโ€”merman blood, which was also used as a spice by the Terrans, called merman tears. It was a red Jiao I knew, usually very happy, and his temperament was so off the line that he didn't look like a dragon, but today he rarely didn't even sigh out of the dragon groan. Through the white moonlight on the high platform, I saw that the piece of flesh and blood on the dragon's body that was indistinguishable was vaguely a merman.

The face of the transformed red Jiao is ugly that I have never seen before. The red pupils under his fiery red eyebrows reflected the bloody merman in his arms. He carefully placed the merman on the high platform, as if he was holding a treasure that was hard to find in the world. I looked up at my boss, and his face was hard to hide his tiredness.

"Hualongtai can probably only hang her breath," after a long time, the boss suddenly said, "Her shark beads have been dug up." โ€

Ao Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with hope, and he looked up at the boss who was about to speak, as if the boss seemed to know what he was going to say, shook his head, and reached out to find the yellow rosewood box I saw before: "Her shark beads were sent to me, but there is no way to make them back." โ€

The box was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out, and the aqua blue beads lay peacefully on the red flannel, reflected in the eyes of Chijiao, that is, Ao Jiong, but it was like the last straw that crushed the camel, instantly extinguishing all hope.

"Blood... Blood shark beads, how dare they?! How dare you?! Ao Wei was a little hysterical, his long fiery red hair fluttering in the wind, and the whole dragon looked like crazy.

The boss shook his head and sighed, and was about to walk out when he was suddenly stopped by Ao Yan, and his pupils were full of pleading: "Save her, please, uncle, save her." โ€

The boss seemed to be surprised as if he had seen Ao Wei for the first time, and finally pointed to his chest, "Have you thought about it?" โ€

Ao Wei was stunned, his eyes followed the boss's fingers to his chest, and after a pause, he suddenly fell into ecstasy, "You... What do you mean..."

The boss nodded, with a hint of compassion in his eyes. Sitting cross-legged in the void, the last thing the boss said to me was to let me go out and watch the store. When I turned around, I heard a painful and long dragon moan coming from behind me, crying like a cry, and I wanted to cry with sadness.

It's a good day, and the summer sun shines through the open windows and spreads all over the boss's tea table. The twigs on the teacup resemble vines at the bottom of the water, swaying slightly in the sunlight.

When the proprietress of the peach blossom wine shop next door carried a jar of peach blossom brew into the door, I was dozing off, the sound of the wine jar knocking on the table was too loud, I was so shocked that I almost jumped up, a sycamore branch carried a jar of peach blossom brew and placed it on the table upright, the copper bell on the door jingled and rang, and the Luo skirt embroidered with peach blossoms in the inner room was gone.

When the boss came out of his domain, I didn't know how to explain it to him, but the boss glanced at the sycamore branch on the table, smiled knowingly, and sat down in front of the small table and slowly picked up the teacup, and I was driven into his domain again. He told me to go in and pack my things, and I guess it was probably to let me take care of the half-crippled merman inside. After all, the boss is always very tolerant of the mermaids.

There were two people lying on the dragon platform. I rubbed my eyes and looked at Ao Yan, who was too weak to stand up, there was no trace of blood on his unpumped face now, and there was even frost on his fiery red eyebrows. I sat cross-legged beside him, stretched out my hand to poke him, watched him barely open his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in an attempt to pull out a cheap smile that I was familiar with, I watched him work hard, and my heart was inexplicably sad.

"Don't laugh," I touched his head, "it's ugly." โ€

He turned his head with great effort, looked at the merman lying beside him, and slowly smiled with a smile in his eyes, his eyes full of emotions that I couldn't understand. I followed his gaze, it was a very beautiful merman, the light blue skin was so transparent that it was almost invisible, the fins on the ears were covered with colorful scales, the delicate eyebrows and eyes were stunning even among the mermen who were known for their beauty, the scales on the slender tail were exquisite, and the color of the tail fin was the color unique to the merman royal family. I looked at the faint cloud lines on her skin, and suddenly remembered that the merman who had come to exchange a soul revival pill with the boss before seemed to be this little girl.

"Do you want to hear a story?" The boss didn't know when he was standing behind me, still holding his teacup in his hand, and even in the domain, the mist still blocked his eyes.

I nodded, and I was afraid that the boss would not see that when I was about to say "yes", the boss had already started his story. The tone was flat, and I couldn't help but think that in fact, the boss just wanted to say something, and he didn't care if I wanted to hear it.

All stories seem to have a good beginning. Many years ago, in the South China Sea, Ao Yi, the dragon king of the East China Sea Dragon Clan, married the princess of the South China Sea Mermaid Clan, and the wedding was grand, and the four seas came to congratulate him. Soon after the marriage, the princess gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, the son was a dragon and the daughter was a merman. This merman is now the king of the shark people of the South China Sea, Ming Shu. The merman clan is actually not as important as other races in terms of racial bloodline, except for the royal clan, which must intermarry with the dragon clan of the four seas, the other clans live for love, and are recognized as a kind and elegant race.

Ming Shu recruited the eighth prince of the South China Sea Dragon Clan, and gave birth to Ming Can and Ming Miao, brothers and sisters as heirs, and the two brothers and sisters have been inseparable since childhood. I don't know when the relationship between brothers and sisters has changed, and the feelings of brother and sister falling in love with each other, which may not be tolerated in other ethnic groups, are actually nothing in the merman clan, but these two mermen are members of the royal family. So in the case of almost not being favored by everyone, Mingcan and Mingmiao fled. They fled from the Shark Clan, fled from the South China Sea, fled to land, and settled in Luoyang, Terran. At that time, Ming Miao was already six months pregnant, and the mermaid clan was pregnant for 12 months, and after a while, the wealthy merchant Ming family in Luoyang added a daughter, named Mingzhu, and raised to the age of thirteen was already a beauty in Luoyang, and in this year, the little girl finally learned the transformation technique, and could hide her tail and ears in front of anyone without revealing any flaws.
