Chapter 621: Mermaid Song on Moonlit Night
Chapter 621: Mermaid Song on Moonlit Night
Under the guidance of the two mermaids, Wen Rui and Kong Xuan followed them to the sea surface.
Coral City is a shallow sea city with a water depth of no more than fifty or sixty meters. The group quickly swam out of the water.
After the two mermaid girls came out of the water, a surging wave formed beneath them, lifting up their fish tails, allowing the two of them to speed across the water like surfing.
After emerging from the water, Kong Xuan switched directly from the underwater flight mode to the air mode, gliding close to the sea surface like a seagull.
Wen Rui jumped onto Kong Xuan's back and treated him as his mount without any hesitation.
Even though the bald eagle stared at him with murderous eyes, Wen Rui pretended not to see it. After all, there were not many opportunities to ride on a prehistoric big boss. It was a rare opportunity to experience it, so it was okay to take a little risk.
But to be on the safe side, he still used his divine sense to quietly send a message and explained: "I am now disguised as a monkey, and a third-level monkey. A little demon at this level can't fly at all. Just cooperate with me. You won't lose any meat if you are ridden."
I thought Kong Xuan would believe this nonsense, swallow his anger and let him ride all the way, but I didn't expect that his self-esteem was much stronger than I imagined. He shook his body and threw Wen Rui off, and he fell into the sea.
Instead, Li Liuer picked up the little monkey that fell into the water, and held Wen Rui in her arms as if she were a big doll, and rushed on the waves with him.
After gliding through the waves on the vast sea for a long time, with the help of moonlight and starlight, we could vaguely see a black shadow appearing on the sea level ahead, which looked like an island.
I guess that island is the place for sightseeing that Li Laner mentioned.
Soon they reached the island's coastline, a crescent-shaped beach between naturally formed rock walls, like a small harbor.
Behind the beach is the dense forest on the island. There are also several coconut trees growing on the beach. This small island looks like the perfect uninhabited island in many shipwreck survival movies.
At the junction of the beach and the dense forest, there is a man-made wooden house. It is called a wooden house, but in fact it is more like a pavilion, with only beams and a roof made of palm leaves, and no walls.
The mermaid girls came ashore, and their fish tails turned into feet, leading Wen Rui and Kong Xuan towards the small wooden pavilion.
Although it is night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The moonlight shines on the beach, and the general scenery can be vaguely seen.
"This is our secret vacation island for the two of us."
Li Laner smiled and explained, "We often come here to play during holidays. This island is far away from the shipping lanes, so no ships pass by. Undersea creatures rarely come to disturb us, so it's a very private and quiet place."
The demon race more or less has the talent of night vision, and the mermaids are a race with very good night vision. To them, the lighting environment of a moonlit night is no different from daytime.
Perhaps for this reason, they chose to bring their new friends on land to this small island for a visit at night.
"We built the house ourselves." Li Liuer boasted, "How is it? It's a good place, right? But it's not very sturdy. We have to repair it every year after the typhoon season, and it gets blown down every time."
This cabin is just like a shelter built by wilderness survivors. It is made of local materials and is quite simple, but it has everything it needs. There is a wooden table and a futon woven with coconut leaves in the cabin.
Walking into the wooden house, the two mermaid girls exuded some spiritual power, as if a switch had been turned on, and the dozens of night-shining pearls inlaid on the wooden roof and beams emitted a soft glow, instantly illuminating the wooden house and a large area near the wooden house. These night-shining pearls were round and large, and the brightness of the light was also very high, indicating that they were of excellent quality and were treasures that would only be inlaid in the Dragon Palace.
If these beads were to flow into the jewelry market on land, each one would probably be sold at a sky-high price. However, they were casually used as lighting tools and inlaid in extremely simple wooden sheds.
The mermaids are also experts in collecting pearls. They are born with the ability to sense precious pearls and can ignore water pressure and dive into the deep sea. The night pearls in the Dragon Palace were all collected by the mermaids who were once enslaved by the dragon clan.
After gaining their freedom, they would occasionally dive into the deep sea to collect pearls, but they no longer needed to present the pearls to the Dragon King as tribute and could use them however they wanted.
At first glance, Wen Rui wanted to remind that electric lamps are more cost-effective, but after thinking carefully, it is people's freedom to inlay luminous pearls, and it even makes sense.
I heard from Li Liuer that this place is hit by typhoons every year, and the electrical equipment will definitely be damaged by the typhoons after being installed. Since the two of them regard this place as a secret vacation island, they naturally don't want more people to know about it. They don't know how to install and repair generators, so they simply use expensive gems instead.
"Wow, what a great place. Fortunately, there are these beads for lighting. You know, my brother Eagle is a day demon. He has excellent eyesight during the day, but he is blind at night."
Wen Rui missed every opportunity to praise and also made a comment about Kong Xuan, but his criticism was reasonable. This is the physiological characteristic of the bald eagle. If it kills owls during the day, it will always be sought for revenge by the owls at night.
It was a beautiful moonlit night with beautiful island views. The climate was warm and the sea breeze was gentle, so the environment was first-class.
With the company of two stunning girls in swimsuits, Wen Rui couldn't help but feel greatly relaxed, and regained the peaceful state of mind he had when he and Junior Sister He took a rest in the mountains many years ago.
Just chatting under the night sky was already a real pleasure, but surprises were still waiting.
Li Laner said shyly: "No one disturbs us here, so Liuer and I often hide here and sing songs. Do you like listening to songs?"
"Of course I like it. We monkeys also like to sing. There is a poem to prove it: The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying non-stop, and the boat has passed through thousands of mountains..."
Wen Rui nodded hurriedly: "Brother Diao's eagle clan also likes to listen to and sing songs. Don't be fooled by his majestic appearance, he is actually a dead clamp, and his singing is more melodious than that of an oriole."
This statement was half true and half false. Kong Xuan was certainly not a clamp bird like the bald eagle, but among birds, except for crows, there was no bird that did not like singing.
During the courtship period, peacocks will also sing "Ah-oh" and "Ah-oh" loudly to attract the opposite sex.
Having found the point of fit again, Li Lan'er's cheeks flushed. She faced the sea and the starry sky, sat on the cushion with her knees bent, slightly opened her cherry lips, and sang the mermaid's song to the moon and the one she loved.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Kong Xuan, who had been indifferent, could not help but be moved. Her voice was so ethereal that it seemed to penetrate the abyss and reach the sky. It was more beautiful and gorgeous than the singing of any bird.
Wen Rui was also listening with great interest, he had long known that the singing of the mermaids was unique, enough to confuse the minds of mortals and induce mortal sailors to jump into the sea in pursuit, but he had never had the chance to hear it with his own ears.
There is a mermaid in Lishan, and that is Li Moshen. However, this girl has a bad temper and is a solitary mermaid. She looks depressed all day long and is in no mood to sing. There is no chance to hear her sing even a melody.
