At that time, Ti Zhen was still young, and he didn't know what his wife meant, and he didn't necessarily do it to listen to the jokes of his elders.

It wasn't until she gradually grew up and gradually became stronger, and when she saw Qingci again, she realized that she had been thinking about him in her heart, and a joke from the elders had sprouted in her young heart early.

But she also understands that Qing Ci is a little repulsive to her, probably because she saw the past he didn't want to look back on, and he also experienced it with him, Ti Zhen knew that he actually rejected women too, especially women who approached him with a purpose.

The reason why Ti Zhen was able to get close to Qing Ci was only because Qing Ci still remembered a little childhood friendship with her, because his mother had asked him to make a promise to protect Ti Zhen I with all his heart.

Qing Ci is very glad about this, fortunately, his mother understands him and does not force him to agree to marry Ti Zhen as his wife, otherwise he really doesn't know how to face his future life, he can't fall in love with Ti Zhen, and fall in love with this woman who has witnessed his real weak and incompetent appearance.

There is a gray area in everyone's heart, and those unbearable pasts can only be confided in willingly, just like a woman's body, which can only be touched by the man she loves willingly. If it is forcibly obtained, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it will only make people feel estranged after all.

"I know, I know, you'll leave as soon as you're healed. Still, I'm glad that you can think of me at this time than if you would rather die than come and see me. Ah Qi, you should also know that I won't force you to do anything, I'm glad you can come to see me once in a while!" Ti Zhen was still smiling, but the sapphire eyes once again swelled with a faint grievance.

Without waiting for Qing Ci to respond, a flash of water around Ti Zhen enveloped him in it, and then the figures of the two disappeared on the shore.

The next moment, under the guidance of Ti Zhen's mana, Qing Ci came to the palace deep in the secret sea of the South China Sea.

Walking through the corridor paved with multicolored coral, Ti Zhen took Qingci to a forbidden place in this palace. There were no guards outside the forbidden land, because no one in the secret sea area could walk through the forbidden periphery of the forbidden land except for Tizhen and those who had been allowed by Tizhen.

And this so-called prohibition looks like a thin layer of mist, through which you can see the forbidden land behind it, but the forbidden place looks like a giant conch.

Ti Zhen's long golden dress emitted a little golden light, and the golden light was refracted on the mist, and the prohibition was like a curtain of water lifted by invisible hands, making a way for visitors to enter it.

Ti Zhen took Qing Ci's hand and slowly walked into the inside of this "big conch", only to see four huge night pearls placed in the four corners of this spacious space, and there were some colorful algae gently swaying on the surrounding walls.

In the center of this wide conch house stand eight white dragon top beams, these eight pillars form a large circle, in this large circle there is also a circle surrounded by fan-shaped shells neatly surrounded by a circle of circular pools, in the pool there is a turquoise pool water constantly surging, like a spring.

The water of the pool is constantly surging, with a trace of mist, and there is a faint smell of ambergris in the mist. This ambergris incense is not the incense used by the imperial nobles in the human world, but a similar smell produced by the interweaving of the spiritual energy condensed by various undersea spiritual herbs.

"This Gathering Spirit Pool is the sacred pool of my clan, and I was only fortunate enough to enter it once when I succeeded to the throne of the King of the Golden Shark. Now in this world, only you and your father can come here as men. Ti Zhen said with some emotion.

"I'm not like him, don't compare me to him. At the mention of his father, Qingci's face couldn't help but sink.

Ti Zhen was speechless because of her momentary emotion, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, she naturally knew that Qing Ci had a lot of hatred for his father in her heart, but the blood was thicker than water, and after all, the special blood flowing in his body could not be cut off.

Besides, Ti Zhen knows some secrets that even Qingci's mother doesn't know, and now Qingci's mother is no longer in this world, he has been weak since he was a child, except for those brothers and sisters who he didn't get along with each other in old age, his closest relatives in this world are only his father.

If he could, Ti Zhen would rather Qing Ci not be so hostile to his father anymore, and the father and son would have a day when they could release their previous suspicions.

"Yes, yes, of course you are different from him, you are my favorite Ah Qi!" Ti Zhen put away his thoughts and smiled charmingly at Qing Ci.

"Ti Zhen, I know that the aura in this pool is not easy to come by, and once I enter it, I am afraid that the water in this pool will be no different from ordinary seawater in a hundred years. I can't promise you too much, but I will bear the safety of the merman clan, I hope ...... You don't blame me. Thinking that he had a request for someone and couldn't help but be angry, Qing Ci's heart was still very unhappy.

The location of this spiritual pool was accidentally discovered by the ancestors of the golden shark, and at that time this place was still an undersea volcano, but it was an extinct volcano that erupted once and was never active again.

However, the ancestors of the golden shark discovered a very magical power in this volcano, and under the nourishment of this power, all the creatures in the vicinity also possessed a very rare and abundant spirituality.

So the ancestor of the golden shark led his people to settle here, built a palace around the volcano, and cast a spiritual pond at the top of the crater of the extinct volcano under the sea.

Every once in a while, the Golden Shark King would send someone to collect the most abundant and best growing spiritual grass spiritual objects nearby, and the Golden Shark Holy Venerable, who had high mana in the clan, would lead the ten Venerables under his disciples to condense the spiritual use mana of those things, and then put them into the spiritual pool. Over time, the condensed spiritual energy and the water in the pool had a subtle effect, and the later gathering spirit pool was formed.

The water in this pool can not only quickly heal the injuries suffered by the body, but also speed up the increase of mana, which can be described as an excellent place to cultivate.

It's just that with the passage of time, the aura of this undersea volcano has been consumed too much compared to when the Golden Shark Ancestor discovered this place, and the spirit grass and spiritual objects are becoming less and less, so after each use, the time before the next time it can be used again is getting longer and longer.

Originally, this pool could also be opened every once in a while for the outstanding juniors of the clan to enter and cultivate, but when the aura became thinner, this gathering pool was only used for healing, and only the Golden Shark King had the right to decide who to let into it.

Now that Qing Ci is seriously injured, there is not much mana left in his body, if he is allowed to enter this spirit pool, it should not be a big problem to help him heal his injuries and recover his mana, but once he uses it, I am afraid that it will really take another hundred years for this spirit pool to recover the previous aura.

This is also the reason why Ah Leng was worried that he would owe her a favor when he heard that he was coming to Tizhen.

"Everything has been calm in my merman clan these years, and my deadline can't come so soon, and the water in this pool is of little use to us for the time being, so you can rest assured that you can go in!" Ti Zhen didn't want Qing Ci to have too many concerns, so he comforted him.

Qing Ci naturally understood that Ti Zhen was comforting him, if it wasn't a last resort, he was unwilling to ask her, not that he couldn't pull down his face and let go of his body, but that he couldn't afford to pay it back, because what he could give was not what she wanted.

Qing Ci glanced at Ti Zhen deeply, and said softly: "Ti Zhen, thank you." ”

With that, he slowly untied his clothes, wearing only a pair of obscene pants, and flew into the spirit pool.

As soon as Qing Ci's body entered the pool, the surging of the water in the pool became stronger, and soon it became like boiling water, and bubbles were constantly rolling.

The eight white dragon pillars on the periphery of the pool also burst out with a rich white light at this time, and the white light went all the way down the pillar, and when it flowed to the junction between the pillar and the ground, they swam towards the opposite pillar respectively.

At this time, if you look down from a high place, you can see that the white light connects the eight dragon pillars in a circle, and then carves a regular and strange rune on the ground with the spirit gathering pool as the center.

With the surging of the pool water and the flickering of white rune light, Qing Ci felt a strong and domineering scorching power envelop his whole body as soon as he entered the pool, penetrating into his body from every pore on the surface of his body, and then quickly flowing through his meridians and bones.

Under the invasion of this power, Qingci's skin quickly turned red, as if it had been boiled in boiling water. At the same time, the large and small blood holes on the surface of his body that had been pierced by the rhizomes of the Hundred-faced Thorns in the Nightmare Territory were also rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After about a stick of incense, all the large and small external injuries on Qing Ci's body had healed, and at this time, he felt the scorching power of the meridians flowing in his body gather together, and slammed towards his dantian with a stronger force than at the beginning.

Ti Zhen was guarding him, and when she saw him take off his clothes and reveal the large and small scars on his body, her heart ached fiercely. At this time, staring at his closed eyes and frowning slightly, Ti Zhen really wanted this ill-fated man to stop and rest, and join her in this secret sea area to govern the merman clan, and be the overlord of this side with peace of mind.

But she also knew that this man's footsteps would not stop for her, and from the moment she saw him again more than a thousand years ago, she saw it, and there was a bond in his heart that she did not understand.
