Chapter 72

"Dongchen, we are ready to return to Haicheng, what about you?" The adult Yuan Xi tilted his head, his long golden hair hanging down around his waist. When he spoke, the corners of his lips curled up, and his smile was as gentle as the warmth of winter.sunshine.

Yuan Xi became even more beautiful as an adult. Her profile vaguely resembled Long Hui's, but Long Hui's temperament was colder, while Yuan Xi looked sunny and warm.

The breeding season is coming, and these newly adult mermaids can't wait to rush back to Haicheng to participate in this year's "Blind Date Banquet."

Dongchen yawned sleepily. He slowly bit into the sea animal meat and blinked twice briskly. "Then I'll go back together too. I miss my brother."

He felt that he was not close to adulthood. He had already broken out of his shell three months later than Yuan Xi and the others, and he probably wouldn't be able to reach adulthood in a while.

Something happened in Haicheng a few days ago, and Lei Zhe called Han Zhan back.

Dongkui said with a smile: "Did Uncle Lei Zhe introduce him to a partner?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Suotu hit him on the head.

"Ouch!" Dongkui covered his head and turned to glare at Suotu, "Why did you hit me?"

Suotu raised the corners of his lips and said, "Idiot!"

"You're the idiot, big idiot!"

Even though he is an adult fish, when he gets into a fight, he is still as childish as an underage fish cub.

During the quarrel, Dongchen pursed her lips and retorted in a low voice, "No." My brother said that he was not looking for a partner.

Yuan Xi's golden eyes were shining, and the breeding period was coming. Recently, they clearly noticed that Han Zhan's eyes towards Dong Chen were becoming more and more undisguised, as if he was like a hungry beast, staring at its prey..

There were so many male mermaids who liked Dongchen that they could circle around Haicheng. They originally wanted to wait until Dongchen came of age before confessing to him.

However, he didn't expect that before Dongchen came of age, these "eyes on" mermaids would be eliminated by Han Zhan without leaving a trace.

In those days, the single male mermaids in the sea huddled together and cried, but their love rival was too strong. It was not that they didn't like Dongchen.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi laughed. Everyone could see Han Zhan's "wolf ambition", but Dong Chen still foolishly thought that they were brothers.

Oh, by the way, there is also Dong Kui, a weak-minded person.

After bidding farewell to Zuo Lun, a group of mermaids returned to Haicheng.

The warm wind blew slowly along the coast, and the coral groups that emerged from the water swayed in the wind, and another group of adult fish came to the sea.

There are twice as many adult mermaids in the sea this year than in previous years, totaling two to three hundred.When the single mermaids in the nearby sea heard about it, they couldn't help but be moved. They came all the way here, planning to find a strong partner and preferably breed a high-quality mermaid cub.

Not long after Han Zhan returned to Haicheng, he was entangled by several mermaids.

Mermaids are always enthusiastic, and as long as they catch their eye, they will boldly pursue them.

Han Zhan walked through the giant algae forest and saw a blue-tailed female mermaid approaching. He stepped back with a hint of impatience between his brows, "I have a partner."

The female mermaid said coquettishly, "You don't have the aura of other mermaids in your body, and you want to lie to me again. What's wrong with me? There is no female mermaid more powerful than me in your entire sea area."

The female mermaid came from the sea next door.

Their sea area planned to merge with the Yate sea area, so Lei Zhe hurriedly called Han Zhan back.They decided to use force to determine the outcome. Whoever wins will control the sea area.

This female mermaid was probably just coming of age and had never heard of Han Zhan's "great achievements" last year. If she knew that he had strangled the female mermaid who was pestering him to death, she would probably be too scared to pursue him anymore.

It wasn't until Han Zhan pissed off the female mermaid that Ai Rui swam up from behind.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." He sighed, "You can't even look down on such a beautiful mermaid?"

"If you like it, go for it." Han Zhan said coldly.

"No, I like those who are docile and cute." Ai Rui's mind twitched and he said, "For example, someone as cute as Little Dongcub..."

Before he could finish his words, Han Zhan slapped him in the face with his tail.

Ai Rui covered his bruised and swollen face and was swimming towards the shallow sea. By coincidence, he bumped into Dongchen and the others who had just returned. Ai Rui turned around and ran away.

Dongkui's sharp eyes suddenly spotted a certain black-tailed mermaid in front of him, and he waved happily and shouted: "Uncle Ari, we are back~"

Ai Rui's forehead twitched slightly, and he wanted to pretend not to hear it, but Dong Kui and the others had already swam over.

Yuan Xi saw that Ai Rui's face was slightly swollen and sighed: "Uncle Ai Rui, who did you fight with again?"

Ai Rui's mouth twitched, "Hey, it's not that bastard Han Zhan." He was so overbearing that he couldn't even make a joke.

While speaking, his peripheral vision glanced at Yuan Xi's face inadvertently, and suddenly he paused. He looked at Yuan Xi. As an adult, Yuan Xi had a face that was stunningly beautiful.

Ai Rui smiled casually and said, "Our little Yuanxi is also an adult, so we will find a partner this year."

Yuan Xi lowered his eyes slightly shyly, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle Ari, where is my brother?" Dongchen asked.

"Han Zhan..." Ariela said in a long voice, meaningfully, "I just saw him going to the coral reef on the coast with a female mermaid, probably looking for a mate."

Dongchen was stunned, but he immediately realized that Uncle Ari must be helping him. He smelled his brother's breath near Haicheng and was coming this way.

The next second, Dongchen fell into a cold embrace and smelled a familiar scent. He raised his face and shouted crisply: "Brother!"

"I'm back." Han Zhan lowered his head and glanced at Dongchen, "He's grown taller again."

"Brother, Uncle Ai Rui said that you went to the coral reef on the shore with the female mermaid!" Dongchen looked at Ai Rui with accusing eyes and said angrily.

Han Zhan glanced at the sneering Ari and said, "He lied to you. I have been busy these days and have no time to go to the coral reef."

Dongchen let out a small sigh of relief.

Ai Rui quickly ran away while Han Zhan had no time to pay attention to him.

Yuan Xi did not bother them, raised his hands and shouted: "We are going back first, and we will go to the sea to play with you tomorrow."

Han Zhan squinted his eyes and calmly covered the deep meaning in his eyes, "Are you going to play on the sea tomorrow?"

Dongchen said obediently: "Dongkui wants to find a partner, let's go over and have a look."

"Is it."

When going back, Dong Chen kept replaying Han Zhan's "Really?" in his mind. He quietly glanced at Han Zhan's expression and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

Confusion appeared in Dongchen's clear eyes, and he felt that his brother seemed to be in a bad mood.

Han Zhan put his big hand on Dongchen's head and rubbed his hair, "Don't think about it, have fun tomorrow." At the end of the sentence, Han Zhan said every word, and his tone was slightly serious.

"However." Han Zhan added, "You are not yet an adult, just take a look. You are not allowed to find a partner."

Dongchen looked at Han Zhan and said with a serious expression, "I don't want to find a partner."

"It's fine if you don't."

Swimming to Haicheng, Dongchen found many unknown mermaids coming to the city.

Last year, mermaids also came to the sea to find partners, but they only moved on the surface of the sea and rarely went into the sea. But this time, the mermaids in Sea City obviously came from other sea areas.

Han Zhan explained that some of the mermaids wanted to join their sea area, while others came to learn how to build a sea city.

"Oh." Dongchen nodded suddenly, so that's what happened.

With that said, they returned to Jiali's small round house.Jiali knew Dongchen would come back early in the morning and specially prepared a lot of food for him.

Jiali said: "Zizai came back just in time. In the next two days, mermaids from several sea areas will challenge us."

"why?"

Jia Li stuffed a piece of fin fish meat into Dongchen's mouth and said with a faint smile: "It's not because our sea city is well built that it makes us think about things we shouldn't." As he said this, Jia Li's eyes narrowed dangerously.

The Yate Sea has an advantageous geographical location, close to the mainland, and there are large coral reefs growing on the shore, which is very suitable for hatching little mermaids. Every year, countless mermaids come to spend their breeding period.Now that a sea city has been built here, it can withstand submarine storms. The mermaids in the nearby sea are jealous after all.

He even planned to capture this sea area without spending a single soldier, so he had the so-called challenge.

But this is good, it also saves Lei Zhe from thinking of excuses to deal with them.

Dongchen finished eating and was about to go back with Han Zhan, but Jiali grabbed him and said, "Zai Zai, please stay, your father Lei Zhe won't be back tonight."

Dongchen hadn't slept with his father for a long time. He said to Han Zhan, "Brother, I'll sleep with my father then. You can go back by yourself."

Han Zhan narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay."

Darkness quietly enveloped Haicheng, and the night pearls embedded in the walls glowed softly, making the room as bright as day.

Dongchen and Jiali were lying on the stone bed together.

"Zai Zai will be an adult soon." Jia Li opened the topic and spoke in a nonchalant way. In order to make Zai Zai stay, he took great pains to drive Lei Zhe out to sleep for one night.

Dongchen shook the fish's tail and said in a lazy voice, "Dad, I still feel like something is missing."

"Don't be anxious." Jia Li narrowed her eyes and smiled, "But when Zai Zai becomes an adult, he will have to find a partner. Does Zai Zai like male mermaids or female mermaids?"

Dongchen opened his eyes. He had never thought about this problem. It was probably because those ten years of human life were so impressive that he suddenly realized that he was a mermaid that could lay eggs.

"Dad, I don't want to find a partner yet." Dongchen buried his face on Jiali's shoulder.

Jia Li thought to herself, Silly Zaizai, if you are not an adult, Han Zhan might go crazy.He kept Zaizai tonight because he was afraid that Han Zhan wouldn't be able to hold it in anymore and would frighten his silly fish.

"If you don't want to find one, then I'll find one for Han Zhan." Jia Li said deliberately, "Han Zhan has been an adult for more than a year and should be looking for a partner. Please help me ask him what kind of mermaid he likes."

"Dad." Dongchen poked Jiali's hand unhappily, "Brother said he doesn't want a partner."

Jiali chuckled, "Is it because he doesn't want to look for it, or because you don't let him look for it?"

"Zai Zai, the more powerful a mermaid is, the more irritable and uncomfortable it will be during the breeding period. When you become an adult, you will understand."

Dongchen felt panicked, "But Uncle Ari is very powerful, and he has never found a partner."

Jiali silently complained about Ai Rui's weirdness. He cleared his voice and said, "You don't know that Ai Rui is actually very uncomfortable. He holds on to the stone every night."

"Why..." Halfway through the words, Dongchen suddenly understood, and his cheeks instantly turned red. He covered his face, revealing his watery eyes, with a greenish beauty at the corners.

Jiali raised her eyebrows, "Do you also want Han Zhan to hug the stone every night?"

"Dad, please stop talking." Dongchen buried his face and said in a low voice.

I don’t know if Jiali’s words had an effect. After falling asleep, Dongchen had a dream.
