As Xiao Ba's business expanded, more and more people came to visit. It is said that even the Mermaid King bought a bottle and drank it, hoping to take his family to the mainland for a vacation when he has time.

As more and more snow was sold, more and more mermaids went to the land to play. Finally, the chains on Lu Changning loosened. When three chains were untied, he tested the spiritual power in his body and was quite satisfied. He began to prepare to escape from prison.

I tried to use the strength in my body. Although most of it was restricted, it should be possible to leave this cave.

With the help of Xiao Ba, Lu Changning began to dig through the wall. The mermaids were wandering back and forth between land and sea, and the number of mermaids in the deep sea had strangely reached a balance. It was no longer possible to escape by selling blood. So now he could only pull these chains out of the rocks.

Fortunately, there are many large species in the ocean. With a slight push, the entire mountain collapsed. A black dragon with ten chains finally broke free from the shackles and was able to roam in the sea.

However, Lu Changning had no plans to confront the mermaids at this time. Not to mention that Lu Changning's physical recovery was very poor at this time, it was hard to say whether the mermaids had other secret methods to lock him up again.

Therefore, we have to stay out of the spotlight for now and decide on the next issue after everyone has forgotten about the collapse of the seabed.

At this time, the best place to go is the human world.

At least he had some strength left and could barely transform into a human form. After changing his clothes, Lu Changning fainted on the shore from exhaustion. Before he fainted, Lu Changning was still thinking vaguely, let it be, see who is destined to pick up this old dragon. When he wakes up, he will definitely spare no effort to rely on this family...

Sure enough, there are still unlucky people.

When he woke up again, he was already on a small bed, with a child about ten years old reading a book. When he saw the child wake up, he hurried over to check.

"Who are you and why did you faint on the beach?"

Lu Changning touched his head and used his acting skills to travel the three realms, looking in pain: "I don't know either. My head hurts so much. Who am I? Why am I here?"

"I found you on the beach." Seeing his painful look, the little boy couldn't bear to ask further: "Some time ago, a caravan encountered a storm. Did you fall from it?"

Lu Changning frowned and didn't know the answer to any question, as if he had lost his memory.

The little boy sighed: "Forget it, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are not a mermaid."

Lu Changning was a little confused as to why this ten-year-old boy had a grudge against mermaids. According to Xiao Ba's information, shouldn't humans welcome mermaids? "Do you hate mermaids?"

The little boy nodded. "My father and mother told me that mermaids are the most disgusting creatures in the world. They use their beauty to gain sympathy. You are also very beautiful, so are you a mermaid?"

Lu Changning shook his head firmly: "No, I'm not a merman, and I don't like them either." I am a dragon, a black dragon. How could a pitch-black dragon be a tacky merman?

The little boy's expression became much better when he heard Lu Changning say that. "Since you have lost your memory now, why don't you stay at my house and be my bodyguard? I don't even have one yet." Before leaving, he added, "Food is provided."

Lu Changning didn't care, as long as it wasn't under the sea, he was fine. And now he didn't have to worry about food and accommodation, it was indeed a good place to hide.

After following the little boy around for a few days, Lu Changning finally knew the boy's identity.

It turns out that he is also from a prominent background.

This is the Yu Kingdom, which was built by the sea and relied mainly on the sale of seafood and maritime cargo transportation. Therefore, the Yu Kingdom had the closest relationship with the mermaids. The second prince of the Yu Kingdom became the most beloved child of the emperor of the Yu Kingdom because he had a mermaid wife.

The poor eldest prince was a man of great talent and virtue, but because of his bad relationship with the mermaid, he was disliked by the emperor. This child was called Yunian, and he was the eldest prince's child.

It can be said that because of his father, this child had no status in the royal family. When he was ten years old, he just picked up a guard on the street. And this guard looked sick and looked like he was about to die. For this reason, Yunian was often ridiculed.

That's right, the guard being mocked is the Black Dragon who just escaped from prison. At this moment, he was leaning against a big tree to bask in the sun, while the little grandson he was guarding was still watering the seedlings. For a moment, it was unclear who was the master.

The life in the eldest prince's mansion was very simple. Not only were there very few maids and servants, but the little grandson of the emperor even had to grow his own vegetables to supplement the family income.

If it weren't for the so-called royal face, I'm afraid this child would carry vegetables and sell them on the street.

I stayed in this small courtyard for a while. The conditions were not good. I hadn't eaten anything for half a month. But it was quiet. For half a month, I didn't meet anyone except the eldest prince and his wife. I waited for a few more days, and finally, Xiao Hong came back.

"Lu Changning, no one in the underworld is willing to take on this kind of job, so just stay here with peace of mind. I will come to see you from time to time... eh..."

Xiao Hong fell silent while talking, and then she shouted: "Lu Changning, how did you escape from prison! That was a magic lock, a magic lock that no one can pry open, how did you pry it open?"

Lu Changning showed the chain wrapped around his arm and said casually: "I'll listen to you and tear down the mountain."

Xiao Hong coughed lightly: "See, this still depends on me."

It was night time now, and Yu Nian had already fallen asleep. Only Lu Changning was left in the yard. "Tell me about the remnant soul. Who did he enter?"

Xiao Hong: "Oh, this person has a very high status, Yu Nian, the son of the eldest prince of Yu State."

"Puff." Lu Changning spat out a mouthful of water: "How could it be such a coincidence that it happened to Yu Nian."

Xiao Hong: "Yes, it's on him. Did you see him?"

Lu Changning nodded: "It's not just as simple as meeting him. I was rescued by him. My current identity is Yu Nian's bodyguard."

"Ouch, you two are destined to be together. It's just right that I can protect him openly by his side. This child's fate is a bit tortuous."

The contents of the book entered Lu Changning's mind.

The book records that the second prince of the Yu Kingdom was deeply loved by the eighteenth princess of the Jiao people. The princess was so infatuated with him that she made a deal with a witch to give him legs in order to get him ashore. The two of them went through many tortures and finally got married. Because of this marriage, the relationship between the Jiao people and the Yu Kingdom reached a new level.

It was precisely because of this relationship that the eldest prince, who was competing with the second prince for the throne, was hated by the mermen. Under the instigation of Jiao Shiba, the eldest prince and his family completely lost the emperor's favor, and were eventually demoted to commoners, with a miserable end.

Lu Changning looked at the records and couldn't help but frowned: "Has the entanglement between mermaids and humans become so deep now? That will be difficult to deal with."

Xiao Hong still remembered the iron chain on his body: "Can you get out of this body now?"

"I tried, but couldn't get out. Looks like I have to untie all the chains before I can get out. It doesn't matter. There's still a lot of time. I'll slowly fight this group of fish."

Xiao Hong didn't care: "It's fine as long as there is a way to solve it now, it just takes a little more time. But how do you plan to fight this group of fish? They have a strong foundation."

Just as Lu Changning was about to speak, he felt the chains on his body tightening. He lifted his clothes with trembling hands and found that the chain on his wrist had embedded into his flesh. If it weren't for the dragon's hard body, it would have been strangled to death and bled.

Xiao Hong wondered: "What's going on?"

Lu Changning understood a little better: "Maybe they knew about my digging in the mountain, so they all rushed over to reinforce the seal. Some time ago, the Mermaid King brought his family to travel on land, and I took the opportunity to break the two chains, so I escaped from the deep sea."

"Given the current situation, I guess this old fish has returned to its old lair."

Xiao Hong reminded him, "In a while it will be the Emperor of Yu's birthday, and the story of Jiao Shiba giving birth to a child will begin. She will give birth to a female merman, and then his sisters will come to congratulate him. You can try to see if you can break off another one."

That's all.

Early the next morning, Lu Changning was awakened by Yunian who rushed into the room: "Guard Lu, get up quickly, today is the day to enter the palace. I begged my father for a long time before he agreed to let me go."

Lu Changning looked at the still dark sky outside and wondered, "Why do we have to go to the palace today?"

Yu Nian said, "Because today is Grandpa Huang's birthday, I have to go and wish him a happy birthday. Take a look at the gift I prepared."

As he spoke, Yunian took out a cage of not very fine workmanship, which contained a katydid, which was still chirping.

It turns out that the plot started so quickly.

"I spent several days looking for this katydid. It's amazing. I also learned how to weave the cage. Do you think Grandpa Huang will like it?"

Lu Changning touched his head and said nothing. He didn't know the emperor of Yu, but he knew that he didn't like the eldest prince's lineage. This child's gift... was full of sincerity. If he really gave it away, he would be sad.

"Grasshoppers are for children to play with. Your royal grandfather is an adult now, so he may not like this."

When Yu Nian heard this, his little head drooped, looking very disappointed: "What should I do? I don't have money. I can't buy what my grandfather likes."

Lu Changning reached out and touched the child's head, and like a magician, he took out a thumb-sized ruby ​​from behind his head: "Here, this is for you. Your grandfather will probably like it."

Xiao Yunian was stunned when he saw the thing in front of him: "Ruby! It's so big, Guard Lu, how did you get this thing?"

"This is a secret." In fact, this thing was dug out when he was digging a mountain under the sea. He had no place to put it, so he put it all away, thinking that it was hard currency and he could exchange it for some money after he got to land.

Yu Nian held the gem in his hands, his face full of surprise: "What an expensive secret."
