Chapter 83

The affair lasted until dawn.

Han Zhan's eyes were warm, and he stared at the black-haired mermaid in his arms. His innocent face was red, revealing a bit of youthful beauty.

The fine strands of hair were stuck to his forehead, and the crown-shaped pattern was half hidden. Han Zhan raised his hand to brush away the strand of black hair and placed a kiss on his forehead.

Then, I picked him up and was about to swim into the house.Compiled by Yuxi team, please stay tuned.

At this time, there was a fierce noise not far away, and several green-tailed male mermaids were arguing.

"Is the king really dead? Could he be lying to us?"

"Qinglan said it. Let's go to Ruola's house now and ask him to find out!"

While arguing, one of the green-tailed mermaids swam up to Han Zhan and glared at Han Zhan, "Tell me clearly how the king died!"

Han Zhan glanced at them coldly and silently uttered two words, "Shut up!"

Feeling the fierce aura erupting from the opponent's body, the green-tailed mermaids were as quiet as ice.

Han Zhan turned around and swam into the house with Dongchen in his arms, and happened to face Ruola who had just gotten up. Ruola looked over expressionlessly.

Looking at each other, Han Zhan put Dongchen on the hammock and said softly, "Don't wake him up."

Ruola wrinkled her nose and whispered: "I know."

Dongchen, who was sleeping soundly, was unconscious and turned over to continue sleeping. Han Zhan rubbed his face with his fingers. He swam out until the mermaids outside waited impatiently, glanced at them lightly and said, "Come with me."

The green-tailed mermaids hesitated for a moment and followed Han Zhan.

After swimming a certain distance, Han Zhan stopped and turned around to look at them. His expression was cold, and a casual glance was full of intimidation.

The mermaid hurriedly asked: "How did you know that the king was dead?!"

"It's simple, I killed him."

The green-tailed mermaid blurted out, "This is impossible!"

Han Zhan didn't want to talk nonsense with them, "You have nothing else to ask?"

"Wait, how can you save us?" the green-tailed mermaid called to him.

They really don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore. They have no freedom, can't even control their mating, and are beaten and bullied all day long. They are worse than sharks.

Han Zhan studied their expressions, "You want me to save you?" He paused, "Do you think I will help you for no reason?"

The green-tailed mermaid became angry and said, "You!" As soon as he said one word, he was stopped by the mermaid next to him.

They knew they had no room for bargaining and exchanged glances with each other. The mermaid calmed down and said, "I know a secret about the king."

"Say." Han Zhan said with little interest.

The mermaid gritted her teeth and said, "I overheard something before. Nina was helping the king raise sea worms."

"I already know this, so it doesn't count."

The green-tailed mermaids scratched their heads and couldn't think of anything they could exchange with Han Zhan.

After a while, Han Zhan said, "I can take you back to Isbella."

Suddenly a surprise hit them, and the mermaids couldn't believe it, "Are you really willing to help us?"

"But you have to do one thing for me."

The mermaids quickly agreed, "Okay, as long as you help us escape, we are willing to do anything."

Han Zhan glanced at their faces, "But I don't believe your words. Who knows if you will be like Qingzhe."

Speaking of Qingzhe, hatred flashed in the eyes of the green-tailed mermaids. If Qingzhe hadn't lied to them, they would have escaped long ago, and how could they be beaten and scolded here.

"How can you trust us?"

"This is what I should ask you. I will stay in Donica for a while. You can come to me when you think about it."

Han Zhan narrowed his eyes. These green-tailed mermaids were from Isbella, and they should be able to gain Nina's trust easily.Han Zhan needs mermaids to sneak into Isbella and deliver the message for them. Currently, there is no better choice than them.

If you help them escape, you have to make sure they don't bite you back.

Han Zhan hasn't figured out how to solve this problem yet.

After sending away the green-tailed mermaids, Han Zhan walked around in the giant algae forest and caught two sea beasts.

Back at Ruola's house, Han Zhan threw a sea beast in front of Ruola.

Ruola was surprised, "Give it to me."

Han Zhan said softly, "Yeah", he handled the sea beast in his hand, tore a small piece off, put it in a palm-sized shell, and then woke up Dongchen.

"Brother." Feeling Han Zhan's cool breath, Dongchen opened his eyes and fell asleep again.

Han Zhan pinched Dongchen's fair and tender face, "Chenchen, didn't you say you wanted to go out to play?"

"Well, I won't go." Dongchen muttered.

"Then get up first and eat before going to bed." Han Zhan held a piece of meat and brought it to his lips, "Chenchen, open your mouth."

Dongchen opened his mouth, and a piece of meat was stuffed into his mouth. He chewed it slowly. After eating a piece of sea animal meat, he completely woke up.

Dongchen opened her blue eyes and said, "Brother, I want to tie my hair in braids and go out to play."

Han Zhan put down the shell bowl, picked up his black hair with his fingers, and awkwardly tied Dongchen's hair into a braid. He hadn't braided Dongchen's hair for a long time, so his movements inevitably became unfamiliar.

The braided hair hangs diagonally on his chest. His eyelashes are very long, revealing a bit of innocence in a blink of an eye. His eyes are clear, as if they contain the ocean. The corners of his lips are slightly raised, giving him a smile.

He smiled and said: "I also want a garland."

Han Zhan pinched the tip of his nose, knowing that he was deliberately tormenting him. When Dong Chen looked at him with a smile, Han Zhan felt so soft-hearted that he could never refuse any of his requests, even if it cost his life.

He went out to pick some sea flowers and came back, made a wreath and put it on Dongchen's head.

Dongchen raised his eyes rather childishly, "Brother, do I look good?"

"nice."

"Humph." Dongchen turned her head and ignored him, "Ruola, let's go out to play without him."

"Then let's go quickly, maybe we can catch Jimmy's fish." Ruola happily pulled Dongchen and swam away.

Han Zhan pressed his temples and stared at Dong Chen's back, his eyes full of endearment. He flicked his tail and followed them.

As soon as I caught up, I heard Dongchen ask curiously: "Who is Jimmy? Does she also sell fish?"

Ruola explained: "Jimmy is my mother's sister. She will go out to catch faceless fish tomorrow. If she can't finish it, she will take it out and exchange it with everyone. I went there late yesterday and all the fish were exchanged."

Dongchen thought this exchange was very novel, "What can I exchange with her?"

"Jimmy likes weird things, such as dragon teeth, beautiful sea flowers, etc. As long as she likes them, she is willing to trade them with you."

Soon they swam to the Mosasaurus skeleton, and at a glance they could see hundreds of mermaids gathered here, all coming to exchange things, including various foods, sharpened bones, teeth of unknown sea beasts, huge turtle shells, etc..

Moreover, almost all mermaids here are female mermaids, and there are no male mermaids or mermaids.

Fish skewered with seaweed were hung on the mosasaur's tailbone for anyone to choose from, while seven or eight female mermaids gathered around to make deals.

Ruola and Dongchen squeezed in, waved and shouted: "Jimmy, are there any more faceless fish?"

Jimmy is an old female mermaid with long brown hair that is slightly curly and tied back with seaweed. When she saw Ruola, she laughed heartily and said, "Ruola, you got up so early today. Don't worry, I have it."I left two for you."

Ruola complained: "I didn't eat the faceless fish yesterday. I went out to catch it myself and was almost eaten by the mosasaur."

"Yes, there are a lot of dragons in the sea area recently. You little mermaids should stop running out to play." Jimmy pointed at Dongchen, not hostile at all, "Did you bring him back?"

"They were the ones who saved me yesterday. Did that nasty guy Leah tell you that?" Ruola said.

Jimmy reminded her: "The breeding period is almost over. Your mother should be coming back. You can't leave them here anymore."

Ruola pouted, "I know."

Jimmy raised his head and said to Han Zhan: "You must be his partner. Watch out for your mermaid. Such a beautiful mermaid was taken back carefully."

Dongchen was confused, "But, I have a partner."

"It doesn't matter if you have a partner. We like cute mermaids the most." Jimmy said with a bit of teasing. If she hadn't been older, she would have wanted to snatch such a beautiful mermaid back and hide it.

Han Zhan held Dongchen's hand and glanced around with cold eyes, "No."

Jimmy took out the fish, and there was still a faceless fish. She grabbed the fish and stuffed it to Dongchen.

Dongchen hugged the fish and blinked, "But I have nothing to exchange with you."

"No, it's for you."

Dongchen smiled brightly, "Thank you, you are such a good fish."

Jimmy packed up his things and went back. Ruola took them to visit other mermaids. The mermaids sold a wide variety of things, including fish, shrimps, sharp teeth, and bones shaped like knives. They were all given away but not exchanged.

The winter morning was filled with satisfaction until the sun rose into the sky and the mermaids were ready to go back.

They also headed back home in the winter morning.

On the way back, I met Ruola’s friend and invited her to hang out.

Seeing Ruola's longing eyes, she was worried about Dongchen and the others, and a wave of wavering flashed across her face.

Dongchen asked her to go play, and he and Han Zhan knew the way back.

After Ruola left, Han Zhan asked: "Chenchen, do you know any way to make the mermaid obey?"

Hearing this, Dongchen suddenly asked vigilantly: "Who does brother want to obey?"

Han Zhan laughed, "It's not you."

He continued: "I want the merfolk to go to Isbella to check on the situation, but they might be disobedient."

Dongchen thought for a while, "Maybe, I can make them listen to you."

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we leave."

When they returned to Ruola's house, the female little mermaid from next door swam out and stared at them, "I must tell Sister Kati to drive you out."

Dongchen swam over and teased her, "Why do you hate us."

Leah's face was solemn, "You male mermaids are all bad guys." She said this and swam back with her tail wagging.

It seems that Leah doesn't hate them, but all male merfolk.

After Ruola came back, Dongchen asked her, "Why does Leah hate male mermaids?"

Ruola pursed her lips, “I heard Jimmy say that.”

"Lea's father was snatched back by her mother. Leah's mother liked him very much and wanted to partner with him. The male mermaid deceived her and killed her when she laid eggs and became weak.Kill her and run away.”

"After Leah broke out of her shell, she became a little mermaid without a father or a mother. It was very difficult to grow up, so Leah hated all male mermaids."

Although Lia's past was very regrettable, Dongchen couldn't understand, isn't it bad for two people to be in love?

"Since Leah's mother likes him, why not pursue him and win him back."

Ruola showed a sadness that did not suit her age, "Brother Dongchen, you don't understand, no male mermaid will like us."

Even if Ruola is not yet an adult, she knows that the mermaids outside are very repulsive to them, and even their mermaid father doesn't like them.

Little mermaids who have just hatched will naturally be close to their mermaid parents. Ruola remembers that the first time she saw her mermaid dad after hatching, she couldn't help but swim over and wanted her dad to hug her.

Ruola will never forget that moment when her mermaid father pushed her away with a look of disgust on his face.

At that time, she was naive and ignorant and didn't know why her father hated her.

But now she knows that her father was replaced by her mother. Maybe one day her father will kill her mother and escape.

Dongchen touched her head with gentle eyes, "No, Ruola, as long as you love him with all your heart, he will understand what you mean. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't like you, there are so many male mermaids, this mermaidIf I don’t like you, let’s find another mermaid, and slowly we will find the one who really likes you.”

"But it's wrong to snatch the mermaid back. Ruola can't imitate Leah's mother, you know?"

Ruola held her chin and thought carefully, "Okay, I believe brother Dongchen."
