Chapter 356 I Have You, the Little Mermaid, That’s Enough
Because of the white lie I told last time, there were no fishermen at Jinling Ferry during this period, and even the aunties and grandmas who came here to do laundry were nowhere to be seen.
Ning Changge was quite satisfied with this, otherwise he would have to go into the water and play with Mu Xinhai, and he would be the one who suffered.
At the ferry, Ning Changge sat on the small bench he had sat on yesterday. While transmitting a message to Mu Xinhai, he took out his lucky fishing rod, cast the line, and spun the line.
The fishing task has not been completed yet, so let’s fish for a while longer.
Soon, the float moved slightly. Ning Changge pulled it gently. He thought it was a fish in the river, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be Mu Xinhai.
“Oh my…”
"You've already sent me a message, why are you still trying to hook me up?"
Ning Changge heard the somewhat dissatisfied sound of the clamp, and smiled softly, explaining: "I didn't want to catch you, I just wanted to fish because my hands were itching."
Naturally, he couldn't tell anyone about the task that Dabao gave him.
"Also, you know there's no food on the hook, why are you still biting?"
As he spoke, Ning Changge untied the fishing line from Mu Xinhai and took back the fishing rod.
Mu Xinhai poked half of his head out of the water, staring at the fishing rod in Ning Changge's hand with his big, watery eyes, and said timidly:
"I don't want to bite it anymore, but your fishing rod is so tempting that I can't help but want to bite it. You should not use it to fish in the future. It's so scary."
Hearing this, Ning Changge couldn't help but look at the lucky fishing rod in his hand, feeling a little curious: "Although it's lucky, it doesn't have to be so lucky, right? Could it be that Wang Baoguo's ancestor met a great immortal cultivator?"
If it happens once or twice, it can be considered luck, but if you fall for it again and again, it can only be the work of an expert.
Ning Changge thought about it and decided to help Old Man Wang keep this lucky fishing rod for the time being. If a mortal possessed such a rare item, it would only bring disaster upon himself.
After putting it into the treasure book space, Ning Changge looked at Mu Xinhai, whose face was still filled with fear, and said softly, "Come here. I won't need it to lure you anymore."
Mu Xinhai swam to the ferry and said, "You are not allowed to fish for my people either."
Ning Changge said helplessly: "I have nothing to do so I went to the North Sea to fish, and besides..."
After a pause, Ning Changge reached out and touched Mu Xinhai's little head, smiling slightly: "It's enough for me to have you, a little mermaid."
They live in water all day long, but their hair doesn't feel wet at all. It is as soft and smooth as clouds. These aquatic monsters are truly magical.
Mu Xinhai's eyebrows curved when he heard it, and his tail waved happily, "You can't lie to me."
"a man of his words."
Ning Changge said with certainty.
Mu Xinhai's smile deepened, "I believe you! By the way, handsome human monk, I don't know your name yet, can you tell me your name?"
Ning Changge withdrew his hand that was touching Mei Shaoyu's head. He didn't want to touch it, but at that time he couldn't help but want to touch it.
Maybe it was a unique expression of a man when he made a promise, or maybe he hadn't touched a girl's head for a long time and his hands were already thirsty.
"Ning Changge."
"Ning, Chang, Ge." Mu Xinhai lowered his head slightly and chewed on these three words carefully, as if he was a child learning to read for the first time.
Suddenly, she raised her head, her big watery eyes blinking: "Then can I call you...Brother Ning?"
hiss--!
Ning Changge took a deep breath and looked at Mu Xinhai, who was even smaller than Little White Hair. He suddenly felt that this was too cruel.
If this happened in my hometown, the sentence would be more than three years in prison for being single and having no wife.
But unfortunately, strength is the most important thing in the Nine Realms.
Ning Changge smiled and said, "If you like the name Brother Ning, you can call me that."
At this moment, in Ning Changge's dantian, little Yanji was still sleeping in her little nest, and she didn't notice at all that his brother had a new lover.
"Of course I like it!" Mu Xinhai nodded vigorously, and then shared her childhood dream with Ning Changge:
"I've wanted a big brother since I was a kid, but unfortunately all of them are sisters. Although they are all very kind to me, I still want a Ning brother."
"profound--!"
Ning Changge felt as if his whole body was softened by the sound of Brother Ning, who was even more charming than Bai Xian'er. It seemed that he might have a wife in the future.
We’ll talk about the future later.
Ning Changge is now more curious about the sisters that Mu Xinhai mentioned. He has no other ideas and just wants to get to know these future big sisters in advance.
"You have an older sister. I heard you say yesterday that you were only in your juvenile form. Doesn't that mean you are the youngest in the family?"
"Yeah." Mu Xinhai chattered about the family situation, "I have four older sisters. They are all married and no longer in the clan. They come back to see me and grandma occasionally."
I didn't expect that all the sisters-in-law have become wives... Ning Changge suddenly didn't want to know them anymore, so he asked:
"Can you tell me about your grandma?"
Since Mu Xinhai's knowledge of Ancestor Chaoying all came from her grandmother, it is very likely that her grandmother also knows something about Ancestor Chaoying's knowledge of Huang Feiyan's whereabouts.
In fact, it was grandma who told Grandpa Chaoying.
Ning Changge guessed so.
"Grandma is the most powerful mermaid in the tribe."
Mu Xinhai's face was filled with respect. "She is also the chief priest of the tribe. She can predict yin and yang, the future, and marriage."
"In fact, our mermaid tribe does not have a high status in the North Sea, but it is precisely because of Grandma's existence that other aquatic tribes respect us very much."
Isn't this fortune-telling? I didn't expect that water monsters can also do this. It seems that no matter where they are, they want to know how their future will be.
Ning Changge sighed inwardly and continued listening.
"And the most important point is that grandma can choose someone to be the young master of destiny!"
Mu Xinhai said excitedly.
Ning Changge frowned slightly, "Shao Siming?"
Mu Xinhai explained excitedly, "He is my grandmother's future successor and the high priest's personal disciple."
Ning Changge asked curiously, "I see you look so excited, will being Shao Siming be of great benefit?"
“It’s so big!”
Mu Xinhai opened his arms exaggeratedly, and the girl's arms were shining brightly in the morning light.
"Not only can you use all the cultivation resources of the tribe for free, but you can also awaken extremely rare innate magical powers, which will make other water tribes envious!"
Hearing the words "innate magical power", Ning Changge suddenly asked, "The blessing of the mermaid?"
"Aye yeah?!!!"
Mu Xinhai slowly widened his eyes and looked at Ning Changge in disbelief, "No! Brother Ning, how do you know it's so deep?"
Her grandmother told her that only a few people in their mermaid tribe knew about this innate magical power, and outsiders had no idea about it at all.
But why when it came to Ning Changge, he not only knew it, but also told it word for word? It's so strange!
Could it be that he is really my biological brother who was left behind?
......
"Laicai, your master is really funny. He hasn't come back for such a long time. Look how hungry you are."
At the gate of the courtyard, Wang Cuihua was stroking Laicai's dog head while mumbling bad things to him.
Laicai buried his head in gnawing on the bones in the bowl. Considering that this woman gave him food every day, he could not blame her for criticizing her master.
After a while, Laicai had eaten most of the bones in the bowl. Suddenly, he stood up and ran towards the path Wang Cuihua came from, not even eating the bones.
While running, he shouted loudly: "Woof woof!"
"Hey, you haven't finished eating yet, you dead dog..."
Before Wang Cuihua finished her curse, an old voice of thanks suddenly came from behind her:
"Cuihua, thank you for helping me take care of Laicai these days."
Hearing the familiar old lady's voice, Wang Cuihua knew without looking back that Li Qiuxiang and that little disaster star had returned.
She didn't even take the bowl, and didn't even have the courage to look back. She hurried away, fearing that it would be contaminated by something unclean.
"Grandma Li, you're welcome. It's my duty. I just suddenly remembered that I have some things to do at home. I'm leaving now. Bye!"
Wang Cuihua ran away.
Li Qiuxiang, leaning on a crutch and with a slightly hunched back, walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard.
She looked at Wang Cuihua's running back, then looked at her granddaughter who kept her head down and didn't say anything, and consoled her:
"Aying, don't think too much. Remember what grandma told you on the mountain."
The silver-haired girl said nothing. She lowered her head, opened the gate and walked in.
Soon, she came out carrying a wooden basin.
The only difference from before she went in was that her head was no longer lowered, but there was a black veil on her head.
"Grandma, take off your clothes. You have been burning paper money for three days and three nights on the mountain. Your clothes are all covered with ashes. I will take them to the river to wash them."
