"So what? What do you want to say? ”

I told the mermaid about the prince's death because of her change of heart, and the greed of the king and queen, and the mermaid squinted at me coldly, and her beautiful face shuddered at this moment.

"You want to say that I killed him, right? So what? How do you think I got to be like this? It has both human legs and a mermaid's tail. The mermaid said, reaching out and touching the top half of the fish's tail where it was rotting, and I could clearly see that the scales had fallen from the place where she had touched, and a dark blue foam had been produced.

"Shortly after I was imprisoned, the tail of the fish that I had replaced with my legs reappeared, only this time it appeared out of thin air, the legs did not disappear, and I had both human legs and the tail of a mermaid. Then my tail began to rot, at first it just hurt all day long, it hurt and itched, every moment it seemed like someone was scraping my fish tail with thorns, but I couldn't see anything on the surface, plus I was imprisoned, and I could only endure the pain every moment. ”

The mermaid said, raising her hand to put the hand that had just touched the fish's tail in front of her eyes, I could vaguely see that her hand was stained with blue foamy liquid, she looked at the blue foam on the palm of her hand, and her voice was calm and distant, "Later, one day, a scale on the fish's tail fell off, revealing the skin under the fish's tail, and this foamy liquid mixed with my blood flowed out, and I was just haired, and the scale had already rotted under it. I went crazy to check all the painful spots, the scales were falling off at the slightest touch, and the top half of my fishtail was rotting inside. ”

"Imprisoned in such a place, my lover betrayed me again, and the pain kept going on and on and on like it was going to corrode my soul. At that time, I thought that I would die like this, and when this rot penetrated deep into the bone marrow, I would die like this. The mermaid smiled, as if sad and disdainful, I couldn't read it, "But, I can't die, the wounds on my body will heal automatically, so my fishtail is healing every moment, and rotting every moment, leaving me only with every moment of torment." ”

"Prince, he didn't betray you," I hesitated, but as soon as I said that, I began to regret my impulsiveness, fearing that I would irritate the mermaid who was emotionally trapped in memories.

"You know something!"

Sure enough, my words irritated the mermaid, and she suddenly turned her head to look in my direction, and with a wave of her hand, an arrow rushed out of the pool of blood and flew in our direction.

"Get out of the way!"

Fortunately, everyone was on guard, and when the water arrow appeared, the wolf fang was the first to react and shout a reminder, and at the same time suddenly picked me up and hid to the side. Although the wolf's tooth reacted quickly, after all, it brought me such a burden, and the water arrow narrowly brushed past me, and I clearly felt a strong wind. The water arrows that didn't hit the target hit the ground behind us with a "bang" sound, and I subconsciously looked back, and couldn't help but shrink my pupils - a big hole was punched in the ground.

I glanced at the mermaid with fear, and then at the pool of blood behind her—the water there could make enough arrows to pierce all of us through the heart.

"How do you think this mutation of legs and tails came about? Who do you think I'm suffering all this time for? The merfolk seemed to be enraged by my words, and screamed with a hideous expression, "It's because of him! It's all because of him! Because the one you didn't betray me in your mouth! ”

I didn't dare say anything more, I didn't dare to refute it, I could only watch the mermaid go crazy with vigilance, in case she attacked again. The ghost still didn't speak, it seemed to have vanished, and I didn't dare risk calling out to the ghost to try to communicate with him for fear of irritating the merfolk again.

Fortunately, the merfolk didn't seem to be ready to kill us so soon, and after she took a few deep breaths, the excitement on her face gradually subsided, and then she spoke again, "Even if he died of a curse caused by the blood I gave him, he deserved it!" Yes, yes, I had a change of heart, but what about him? Isn't it the same that doesn't love me anymore? ”

The mermaid sneered, her eyes cold, "We mermaids never get any natural diseases, only magic can leave traces on us." I thought about the problem of fish tail rot for many reasons, and finally I was determined, and it was because of the curse. ”

Curse? How is it a curse again?

I frowned, hesitated, but plucked up the courage to ask, "What curse?" ”

Fortunately, the question did not anger the merfolk, she did not get annoyed, but calmly replied, "I have a contract with the witch when I make a deal, and if I can't make the prince fall in love with me, or lose his love after he falls in love with me, I will become a bubble." ”

I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at her rotting fishtail into foam.

"But you haven't turned into a bubble now, how can you say that the prince betrayed you?"

The sudden female voice made me stunned, and I turned my head to look at it to confirm that the person who spoke was Fang Ruoxi, but I hadn't found it before, but now I feel that something is wrong. It's not so much that it's wrong, it's that it's normal now, and the way she makes me is the same as when I first saw her, what's going on?

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I'm protected by the sea, but that's okay, I'll be able to lift this damn curse in no time, just "The mermaid said, staring at me with a gaze that made me shudder, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, revealing a grim smile "Your heart." ”

"Me my heart?" I retorted in disbelief, "Why do I have anything to do with your curse?" ”

One by one, when I am a Tang monk? Can I live forever if I eat it? Just died a king who wanted to eat my heart, and this will come out with another mermaid who wants my heart? How can I be so unlucky that anything can be related to me? Everybody wants my heart?

"They are stupid to make you mistaken, and I am a mermaid favored by the sea, with a natural sense of magic, and I can feel that you are the prince I need to lift my curse." The mermaid tilted her head as she spoke, revealing a poppy-like smile, sweet and deadly, "I didn't need you, but I blame the dead prince, who betrayed me to make this curse take effect, and died so early that I couldn't lift it." Don't worry, just stick this dagger into your heart, it only takes one moment, and it won't hurt. ”

Only then did I realize that the mermaid had taken out a dagger from nowhere, and it was now in his hand, reflecting a terrifying cold light.

Okay, I know, I'm not a Tang monk but a prince, so I came to me one thing after another. I'm tired.

"Ask her when she was imprisoned and when the curse appeared."

I was thinking about how else I could make the merfolk give up my heart, when suddenly a ghostly voice rang in my ears. Hearing his voice one after another made me stunned, and then hesitated, unsure whether to do what he said.

"I didn't betray her, I want her to understand that." "I know her, she's a kind girl, and hatred has blinded her. And her hatred comes from my betrayal, I want her to understand that I didn't betray her, so that she won't hurt you, believe me, okay? ”

I hesitated to make a decision to believe him, after all, we are in danger now, and one wrong step may be lost. I pondered the two questions the ghost had asked me to ask the merfolk, and since he asked me to ask, it must have made sense, plus the clues I had gotten earlier

"Now that you know why I want your life, for the sake of what you have said to me, I'll give you one last chance." The mermaid's voice sounded again, and the expression on her face was like that of a cat looking at a mouse, "Let me kill you to lift the curse, and I will let your companion go, choose." ”

Forget it, a dead horse should be treated as a live horse doctor, in this situation, after seeing the power of the water arrow just now, even if I know that the wolf's ability is strong, I don't think he can avoid this kind of large-scale attack.

"When were you imprisoned, and when did the curse come about?" I asked, my voice trembling with nervousness.

"When? What do you think I'm going to change my mind about? The merfolk laughed disdainfully, but answered my question anyway, "On the seventh day after I fed the prince's blood, a curse appeared on him, and I was imprisoned, and after another seven days, my fishtail began to ache. Because I had just been imprisoned at that time, I was ridiculously worried about him, so I remember the days. ”

Is that really what I thought? I frowned, waiting for the ghost's answer.

"I died seven days after the curse appeared on my body, which means that when I died, the curse appeared on her body at the same time." The ghost said.

Really! Because there was a guess before, and now the ghost's words confirm my guess. So it seems that the mermaid and the prince are really there

"I didn't betray her, and I still love her." The ghost's voice was calm, as if it was just saying something very common, but it made my heart move, "The curse on her is not because I don't love her anymore, but because I'm dead and can't give her human love anymore." Can you show her the necklace you took off? She gave me this necklace, but my soul was preserved because of the necklace, and I still live in it. ”

I sighed, and for a moment I didn't know if I should comfort the ghost, but I don't think he needed to comfort him, after all, he loved her and was willing.

"The prince has never betrayed you, he has always loved you." This time I no longer have any scruples, and I no longer think about whether I will anger the mermaid, I want her to know the truth, "The curse on you is not because he no longer loves you, but because he died under the curse of your blood." ”

Seeing that the mermaid was angry again and wanted to open her mouth, I interrupted her before she could say anything, and continued, "Your curse is that if you lose your love, you will turn into a bubble, but you are still alive, not because of the favor of the ocean, but because even if you die, you still love you!" ”

I said, pulling out the necklace in my pocket and showing her, "Because of this necklace, he didn't die completely, he just became a ghost." Because he became a ghost and still loves you, so you didn't turn into a bubble when he died, the curse weakened and mutated, and you have survived until now! ”

I took a deep breath and told the deepest truth: "He has never betrayed your love, and should even say saved your life." It's you, you, who killed him and betrayed your love at the same time. ”
