The next morning, before it was fully dawn, Guan Qing went home to prepare for the evening feast, while I went to Lake M early in the morning.

M Lake used to be the place with the largest number of morning exercise people in City A, before I went I was a little worried that there were too many people, I couldn't talk to You Zhen well, but it is estimated that it was because of the previous dome thing, some people said that they saw a huge monster in the lake at night, and the thing that there were monsters in M Lake spread, and now there are almost no people who exercise in the morning, but there are really more monsters, and I met several guys who greeted me along the way.

"Morning, Lord Yeke!"

"Lord Yeke, this is the fish I just caught this morning!"

"Ah, isn't this Lord Yeke!"

"Come and see, Lord Ye Ke is here!"

......

The noisy noise along the way made me very helpless, it is better to have more people who exercise in the morning, at least they will not follow me.

"Lake M is really a paradise for youkai now...", I muttered to myself, walking around looking for traces of Yuzhen, but I didn't see her anywhere.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know, what do you look like?"

......

The team of youkai whispering behind me had grown to the point where I couldn't ignore them, and I stopped and turned to face them.

"Ahh ”

"Look at me telling you to be quiet, you're going to be noisy with him. ”

"Let's stay away and look at Lord Yeke. ”

.......

I sighed and asked, "Have any of you seen a merman around here?" ”

The little monsters were quiet all of a sudden, and they didn't speak for a long time.

"Did anyone see that?" I asked again, and the guys were a little strange.

"Wow, Lord Ye Ke is actually looking for a youkai!!"

"It's as reliable as the legend says!"

"Lord Yeke, will you come more often in the future?"

I wanted to find useful information in this group of gossip monsters, but they only cared about their own chatter, completely forgetting that I existed, I could only continue to look for myself, and looked around and it seemed that there were no other humans except me, so I could only call her by her name, and if the legendary human with demonic power knew the name of the monster, no matter how far away, as long as it called its name, it could hear it, but whether they were willing to come out to see you was their own business.

"You Zhen, are you here? I have something to tell you. I shouted, trying to block out the screams of the goblins behind me.

After shouting for a long time, I didn't see any trace of her, and I couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

"Lord Yeke, if you're talking about the short-lived merman, it's no longer here. However, there are very few youkai from the sea in this area, so I guess you're looking for that merman. "A deep voice suddenly appeared, and I followed the sound to see that it was a carp in a lake.

It was a jet-black carp, much larger than ordinary carp, showing its head on the surface of the water like a painting, and I crouched down and asked, "What do you mean by dying soon?"

"She turned her back on the rules of nature and turned into a human form, and the sea would punish her, and I smelled in her only dying youkai. The carp's mouth didn't move, but I could hear it.

"Punishment?"

"Of course, her life is given by the sea, without the protection of the sea water, she will gradually dry up and can't breathe, although I don't know how she became your human appearance, but in the three hundred years I have lived in the world, I have not seen any spells that can really turn a monster into a human, at most it is a temporary change in form, even if it is a temporary change, the price paid is very large, only a monster with a clear brain will do that kind of transaction. ”

I remembered what You Zhen said, "It's just an exchange for something," and I became more and more worried, "What deal?" I asked the carp.

"I don't know, I just know that there was a very powerful begonia monster who fell in love with a human being, took a potion from a wizard, and finally became a thing that is not a human demon or a demon, and that human didn't know its existence at all, and in the end it could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests to be lonely until it was old, and I heard that its exchange condition was to give up half of its demon power, and some time ago because the demon power was exhausted, it died. ”

“... Where was the last time you saw Youzhen?"

"Even if you find her, it's useless, she can't get the love of humans, not all humans are like you, humans only use youkai. The carp said.

"Tell me where you last saw her. I asked again.

The carp and I looked at each other for a long time, "Since you insist, then you go to Central Park, where should she be." "Her eyes are about to dry up from crying, and if you go now, you may see her one last time." ”

"Thank you!" M Lake is not far from Central Park, I hurriedly took a taxi, "Master, go to Central Park." ”

What did she run to do there? What did she exchange with the wizard? It was already completely dawn, there were more pedestrians and vehicles on the road, there were many office buildings near the central park, and the traffic jam was already starting to get there, and I was looking at the crowded traffic in front of me and worrying, and my mobile phone rang, it was clear.

"Hey, Ye Ke, I've agreed with grandma here, your name has been added to the invitation in the evening, Mida has also been adjusted from an ordinary guest to a VIP, and she will arrive early when the time comes, and there is a private lounge, we can go directly to the lounge to find him, how are you?" Guan Qing's voice was full of anxiety.

"I'm not going well here, things are a bit complicated, Youzhen is not in Lake M, the other youkai told me that she might be in Central Park, and I am on my way to Central Park. The car hadn't moved for five minutes, "just in the morning rush hour, stuck in traffic." ”

"Then I'll go to Central Park now. Guan Qing said, I can hear the sound of him closing the door quickly on the phone,

"Okay, let's talk. Hanging up the phone, I glanced at the traffic in front of me, "Master, I'll get off here, and I'll pay you on WeChat." ”

As soon as I got out of the car, I ran in the direction of Central Park.

The central park is in the center of city A, and after many transformations, it has become a fountain square, and there will be beautiful musical fountains in summer, but now it is winter, and the fountains are suspended from work, and there is not even a single water, why does You Zhen have to run to this kind of place?

The road was full of people rushing to work and school, I walked through them one by one, said sorry to several people, and accidentally stepped on the shoes of several people, and finally saw the building as a landmark next to the central park, where there will be a very beautiful night view at night, sure enough, as the carp said, I saw You Zhen sitting next to the fountain platform, still beautiful and still wearing a thin skirt.

"You Zhen, you—" I was about to speak, but was interrupted by an angry shout.

"Are you stupid! What are you doing here!" It was none other than Guan Qing, who had hurried in like me, riding on his bicycle, but sweating all over his head in the winter.

"Mr. Ye Ke, why are you here?" You Zhen obviously didn't expect the two of us to appear, she just wanted to ask me something, but when she saw Guan Qing swallowed back.

"Rest assured, he's not an outsider. I walked up to her, "I told him everything, he's my friend, you can rest assured." ”

"Mr. Yeck has also found a partner who can speak safely?" she was visibly happy, and her eyes brightened a little, "I'm so happy for you, if I can have a partner who can speak safely, I can share the story of me and Mida with them, but..."

"But interracial love is not favorable. Guan Qing got off the bicycle and wanted to take off his coat to put on You Zhen, but was blocked by her hand.

"Thank you, the mermaids are not afraid of the cold, compared to the lonely deep sea, the cold on the land is nothing. She raised her head and looked at Guan Qing and smiled shallowly, "You're right, interracial love is not only frowned upon, but also taboo, and will be punished by the sea. She was still smiling, as if she was saying something else, and her soft voice was faint.

Guan Qing and I didn't dare to ask what kind of punishment it was.

You Zhen looked at the two of us and said softly: "I, if I can't see Mida this time, I won't get his love, and if the merman who turns his back on the sea goes back like this, he won't be forgiven by the sea," she took my hand and Guan Qing's hand, and I felt that Guan Qing was obviously stunned, because this hand was too cold, "Actually, I know in my heart that Mida must not like me anymore, otherwise why wouldn't he have appeared for so long, but since I can't go back to the sea, it's better to see him again, just one side." ”

"Come with us, and I'll take you to him. Guan Qing said, "Tonight, you will be able to meet him." ”

You Zhen looked at Guan Qing incredulously, then at me, and seeing that I didn't deny it, her eyes turned red, "I didn't expect you to really find it... But I don't have anything to give back..."

I knew in my heart that her tears had dried up, "Don't think about the return, but what about after seeing Mida, what are you going to do?"

Guan Qing looked at me a little puzzled, "Ye Ke, didn't you promise her..."

Raising my hand to signal him not to speak, I kept looking at You Zhen, "Tell me, what are you going to do after meeting him." ”

The merman in front of him had a pale face, and said with a smile, "After seeing him, I can die without regrets." ”
