Chapter 322 The Mermaid's Betrayal
Ming Gongyao looked at his sister's silly look and he also laughed silly.
Seeing the brother and sister both dumbfounded, He Qianqian couldn't help laughing. She showed off proudly:
"Ari, these 8 little fish babies I gave birth to, aren't they cute?"
"Mm, so cute. Prettier and fatter than the other little fish cubs. The color is prettier too."
She put her hands into the fish tank, and her slender fingers like onions seemed to be playing the piano, creating regular ripples in the water.
Use the mermaid’s special way to communicate with the little fish.
The little fish came up to her affectionately and held her fingers tightly.
He stuck his head out of the water to look at her, then dived back into the water, blowing bubbles and making occasional "ah" sounds.
There was also a slight and ethereal sound.
The audio frequency is very low, and only orcs with high hearing abilities or mermaids can hear this sound.
The little fish also flapped their wings, creating ripples, and scrambled to let A'li touch them.
"Good boy! Let me guess, this little golden fish must be the seventh one."
"Xiao Qi, I'm your aunt."
She flicked waves in the water with her fingers again, communicating with Lao Qi using the mermaid's special water waves.
The sixth old man, Ming Xuanyang, instinctively slapped his golden fish tail in a certain rhythm, stirring up the water waves and interacting with A'li.
He Qianqian looked at this with envy.
Even though they were her own children, she, as a female mermaid, could not understand the special language or signals between mermaids.
Ming Gongyao once told her that the water waves produced by each mermaid are different.
Every mermaid knows the water waves of other mermaids, as accurately as fingerprints and smells.
Water waves can also be transmitted over long distances. The call and distress signal sent out by water waves can quickly summon tribesmen in the surrounding waters.
"Don't be impatient, let me guess. The one with silver hair, silver scales and a purple tail looks a lot like me when I was a child. It must be Xiaoliu Wanwan."
Xiao Wanwan nodded hurriedly, her big eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled, and she blew a few bubbles happily.
Ah Li gently touched her long hair:
"Wanwan, be good. Your aunt will love you from now on."
Then, A'li told the ranking and names of the little ones one by one.
He Qianqian only mentioned the ranking, appearance and names of the eight little fish cubs in the letter, but she didn't expect A'li to remember them so clearly.
Ming Gong Yao stood aside and put his arm around He Qianqian's waist. The two of them snuggled together and watched A'li and the little fish play together.
Little Fish's brothers and sisters are especially well-behaved at this moment.
They opened their big eyes silently, watching the interaction between the mermaids curiously and opening their mouths in surprise.
Ari can also blow mermaid bubbles and take full care of the baby fish, including feeding, excretion, changing water, cleaning, etc.
A'li will be a female beast in the future, and she is also capable of taking good care of the cubs.
The little fish was also happy to be taken care of by his aunt.
Ming Gong Yao smiled and let out a long sigh: "It's good that my sister is here, otherwise I would be dying of exhaustion."
He Qianqian hugged his waist tightly, with a distressed look on her face:
"Mermaid Daddy, please sit down and rest for a while. It will be a little later, so you can catch up on your sleep."
"Don't be busy yet, tell Ari about what happened recently."
The little fish baby pooped after eating and drinking, and fell asleep in the bubbles after playing tired.
They closed their eyes one by one, and their long eyelashes trembled slightly in the sparkling water, just like sleeping beauties.
It makes people hold their breath for fear of waking them up, and they can't help but want to take a few more glances.
Ahri also hugged her shoulders and kept staring at them while they were sleeping soundly.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ming Gong Yao:
"Brother, Qianqian is so thin, is she cursed by the mermaid?"
"Well, did you guess it?"
Ming Gong Yao didn't want to say too much in the letter and the conch, but she didn't expect that A Li guessed it herself.
A'li also sat at the dining table. Looking at the sumptuous food, she frowned slightly and had no appetite.
He Qianqian handed her the chopsticks and said, "My body was indeed damaged before and after the birth of the little fish cub, but I am much better now.
Ah Li, you have been traveling for such a long time, hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach."
Ah Li took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, but did not eat it.
She said seriously:
"Qianqian, if the curse is a mountain that we must climb over to protect the little fish, then we must climb over it.
The mermaid curse has existed for thousands of years and has harmed generations of people.
Because of the curse, the descendants died out. Now that the Blue Blood Family has finally had 8 more descendants, nothing can happen to them."
He Qianqian's firm statement:
“Yes, no matter how high the mountain is, I will climb over it.
You and your sister are the heirs of the Blue Blood Family. It is your mission to protect the mermaids and resist the curse.
We will do these two things together in the future."
He Qianqian thought of the last bone carving battle.
Minggong Yao was seriously injured, and the blood flowing from his back dyed his warm down clothes dark blue.
Someone cut off a piece of skin and red blood gushed out.
And the last time Ming Gongli used the fishbone knife to cut out the beast mark on his body, blue blood also flowed.
The situation was urgent as the life-and-death battle took place, and He Qianqian didn't have time to think about it carefully.
It turns out that this is what the Blue Blood Family means. The mermaid Ming Gongyao and his sister do not have red blood, but blue blood.
So the blood of those eight little fish, Yunyun and Wanwan, is also blue, right?
Ming Gong Yao asked, "Ari, you have lived with your grandma and grandpa for a few years. Have you ever heard them mention what happened a thousand years ago?"
Ah Li thought for a while and said: "Grandpa was not an eyewitness, they just heard it from their ancestors.
It is said that there was a lot of noise back then, but our ancestors, for some reason, were unwilling to talk about it.”
He Qianqian asked in surprise: "This concerns the future and fate of mermaids, why don't our ancestors want to say more?"
Ahri said: "I only heard that there is a lineage lurking among the mermaids, and they have always been traitors to the mermaids. The ancestors may also be afraid that the real secret will be heard by the traitors, and they will use it to bring more serious consequences."
Ming Gong Yao said: “During this period, I have also inquired a lot among the mermaids.
Not much news was received.
But there is one thing worth noting. It is said that thousands of years ago, mermaids and sirens fought for several decades.
Before the war, mermaids and sirens were married and should have gotten along well.
Later, for some reason, there was an unresolvable hatred of life and death, decades of conflict, and countless deaths and injuries. "
He Qianqian: "What happened next? Why haven't I heard any news about the Sirens? Where are they now? Sirens also have descendants, right?"
Shaking his head, Ming Gong Yao said:
"The main purpose of this trip to the South China Sea is to find the descendants of the mermaids. Maybe they are the ones who are behind this. At least I have explored the Dream Sea, the territory of the mermaids, and I have never seen the descendants of the mermaids.
Did the mermaids exterminate the siren clan? Or did they hide somewhere else and continue to do evil?"
Fan Fengying, who had been listening nearby, interrupted:
“From what I know, planting such a serious curse on a certain ethnic group will result in huge backlash.
Not everyone has the strength to withstand this kind of backlash.
The fact is: the mermaid curse is still effective, which means that the person who cast the curse is still resisting the backlash.
It also means that the person who planted the curse is still alive."
