Chapter 281 Xiao Liuzi's Identity
Lu Yuguan thought carefully: "Why does the plot seem so familiar?"
"By the way, isn't you a human? Why do you have a mermaid tail?"
Yu Xiaoliu asked curiously.
Lu Yuguan took a deep breath, his face haggard. "It's a long story... Do you know the Golden Harp?"
"I know," Yu Xiaoliu said, "That is the sacred artifact that every princess will inherit."
"My shark tail is made by the golden harp."
Lu Yuguan smiled bitterly.
"what?"
"The golden harp has this effect?"
Yu Xiaoliu was completely confused.
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You don't even know about the sacred weapon of your mermaid tribe?"
"Hey, this..." Yu Xiaoliu said embarrassedly, "Maybe I didn't listen carefully when I was in school..."
Lu Yuguan: “…”
It turns out to be a fish with nine leaks.
"Forget it, I'll figure out the fish tail issue myself," Lu Yuguan waved his hand and said, "Since we're old acquaintances, can you let me go?"
When Yu Xiaoliu heard Lu Yuguan's request, a trace of bitterness and helplessness flashed across his face.
"Sir, I also want to take you back to shore, but I really don't have the energy to do so."
"Don't underestimate me because I bear the title of the Mermaid King. I'm actually just a puppet."
"The true power of the mermaid tribe lies in the hands of the high priest."
Lu Yuguan frowned, "That old mermaid is so domineering, is there no one who can check and balance him?"
"No one knows how long the High Priest lived. It seems that his shadow appears every time a new Mermaid King takes office."
Yu Xiaoliu pondered.
After a night, the old mermaid came to the bedroom full of anticipation.
I thought I would see Lu Yuguan and Yu Xiaoliu looking exhausted, but I found that they were still keeping their distance and there was no sign of any connection at all.
The old mermaid's expression darkened instantly. "Mercury King... could it be that the new princess is not to your liking?"
Yu Xiaoliu quickly explained: "High Priest, we are actually over."
The old merman turned his head and glanced, and Lu Yuguan nodded frantically in response.
"You're truly a cub whose fur hasn't even fully grown," the old mermaid said hoarsely. "It takes at least five hours for my mermaid clan to fuse. I calculated the time, and it shouldn't be over yet."
"You... actually dared to conspire to deceive me?!"
How many?
Five hours?
I don’t even dare to sleep for ten hours!
Lu Yuguan was stunned.
Yu Xiaoliu was panicked. He was only in his twenties and had never experienced anything related to mermaids, so naturally he didn't know the ins and outs of this.
"Ahem... High Priest, actually I am gifted, it will be over soon."
Yu Xiaoliu said calmly.
Old mermaid: “…”
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Is this something the hell to be proud of?
Yu Xiaoliu was stunned and asked, "Why are you guys not talking?"
The old mermaid suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
After saying that, the old merman waved his hand, and the merman soldiers immediately surrounded them and took Lu Yuguan and Yu Xiaoliu to a secret room deep in the palace.
The secret room is surrounded by solid coral reefs and is airtight. There is only a small vent at the top, which lets in a faint light.
"Don't even think about leaving here until you complete your union and give birth to a new mermaid!"
The old mermaid's voice echoed in the secret room.
Lu Yuguan said to the vent, "Hey, I'm a male and can't have children!"
The old mermaid sneered, "I don't care. I'll give you two years. If you don't give birth to an offspring, I'll refine you alive into mermaid pearls!"
"Refine the Shark Pearl?" Yu Xiaoliu asked in confusion, "High Priest, isn't the Shark Pearl formed only when the Shark King voluntarily passes away?"
"Hahahahahahaha...boy, letting you be the Mermaid King is indeed the right choice!"
The old mermaid's sinister voice slowly came, "The mermaid pearl was exchanged for the souls of the royal family..."
"As long as the Shark King unites with his chosen mate and produces offspring, I can refine even more powerful Shark Pearls for my use."
Lu Yuguan was shocked: "So you pushed Yu Xiaoliu to the top just to refine the mermaid pearl!?"
"Hehehe..." said the old mermaid, "It seems that he is not stupid, but it is too late——"
"Wait a minute!" Yu Xiaoliu interrupted quickly, "High Priest, I... I'm not of royal blood, so I can't refine the Mermaid Pearl!"
"Oh?" The high priest stared at Xiaokou with his shark eyes. "Yu Xiaoliu, do you really think that I just randomly picked a shark to replace you?"
Yu Xiaoliu looked at the eye in disbelief.
The high priest's shark eyes glowed with a turbid green light in the darkness, and his bone staff slammed heavily on the coral ground.
"Why do you think I chose you?"
"That reverse scale on your waist is clearly a birthmark only found on royal heirs!"
Yu Xiaoliu trembled all over, and his fingers subconsciously touched his waist.
There was a crescent-shaped silver scale, glowing faintly in the dark room.
He grew up with his mother, who always said it was a mark of blessing from the sea god, but now it felt like burning a branding iron on his palms.
The high priest's scales flared with excitement. "I was just worried about the lack of people in the royal family, and your return just happened to be a huge surprise to me!"
Yu Xiaoliu still couldn't believe it, "I... am really a royal family?"
The old mermaid sneered, "Just follow my instructions and give birth to an heir, and I will ensure your survival!"
thump...
The soldiers left with the old merman, leaving only Lu Yuguan and Yu Xiaoliu in the secret room.
"Are you ok?"
Lu Yuguan asked with concern.
Yu Xiaoliu seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed to the ground in a daze.
Seeing this, Lu Yuguan moved to his side and patted his shoulder gently, "Sixth Son, don't panic."
Yu Xiaoliu's eyes were empty as he muttered to himself, "How could I be from the royal family... My mother never mentioned it to me..."
have to.
The second Li Chongjiu was born.
The corners of Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched. Seeing that Yu Xiaoliu had not yet come back to his senses, he simply sat down to the side and rested.
"Tong-chan."
【What are you doing? 】
"Will you chat with me for a while?"
【…】
"Anyway, idle is idle."
I'm very busy
"What are you busy with?" Lu Yuguan curled his lips. "What's the matter? Are you in love or getting married?"
【…】
"If you have a baby, let me know and I'll give the child a red envelope."
Lu Yuguan said dejectedly.
system:……
[Host, you are quite generous. You can still keep your composure even at this time.]
"What can we do?" Lu Yuguan looked at Yu Xiaoliu, "The child is sad, we can't disturb him."
"What's the difference between this and giving someone a spoonful of cornmeal while they're picking mud from between their toenails?"
【…】
[Host, your metaphor is really interesting]
The system said.
Lu Yuguan said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment."
[Host, taking advantage of this opportunity, why not try a few of those long-awaited ten-hit combos?]
The system bewitched.
Lu Yuguan slapped his head.
Eh?
Yup!
Who knows... maybe you'll draw a wonderful tool that can help you escape?
"Draw!" Lu Yuguan waved his little hand generously, "Let's draw sixty-six rounds for fun, for good luck!"
