Mermaid Throne

Physical pain becomes more pronounced after the anesthesia wears off.

Tao Yiran woke up in pain from the darkness. When he opened his eyes, the completely unfamiliar environment made his body tense for a while. He didn't sit down slowly until he felt that what covered his body was not liquid but a soft quilt. He stood up, rubbed his eyes, and looked around.

This is a rather retro room with a simple and comfortable design.but no windows.

Tao Yiran got out of bed, took a look at his body in front of the mirror, found no obvious changes, and was relieved.

There was also a set of clothes on the bedside, which should have been left for him. He walked over to pick it up, but before he could wear it, the door was pushed open.

The uninvited guest was surprised to see Tao Yiran who was supposed to be lying on the bed awake, and was yelled at just as he was about to come over: "Get out! I want to get dressed!"

It was only then that he realized that the other party was not wearing clothes, so the uninvited guest had no choice but to back out embarrassingly.

She's even cuter when she's asleep.He leaned against the wall and thought, but the corners of his mouth raised upwards uncontrollably.

Tao Yiran turned his sleepy head while quickly getting dressed.

It was only then that he remembered that he seemed to be telling others to fuck off on someone else's territory, and he seemed to have seen that person's face somewhere...

He slammed the door open, and the long-haired boy leaning against the wall was surprised to see Tao Yiran who was also surprised, and immediately smiled: "How do you feel?"

Tao Yiran looked up, down, left, and right for a long time before making a guess about the almost changed mermaid in front of him. "Rong...xuan?"

If it weren't for the pair of eyes that didn't change much, he would never have thought that the young man in front of him would be that arrogant young master.

The mermaid boy in front of him looked not only arrogant, but also insanely beautiful.Even with waist-length hair, no one would mistake the person in front of him for a girl. This dazzling beauty gave him a completely different temperament from four years ago.

Like a sharpened knife, hidden in the scabbard, if you don't pay attention, you will be cut by the exposed edge.

Rong Xuan's hands moved, but after all he suppressed the urge to hug him tightly, he just tilted his head slightly, and said shyly and proudly, "I'm taller than you."

"How did you find me?" Is that mermaid related to Rong Xuan?

"The mermaid you rescued first asked for help from the mermaid guards, and there were my people there." Rong Xuan, who had become an adult, smiled a little proudly. I followed Miller, but I never thought I could find you."

"Where's the little mermaid?"

Speaking of the double-species mermaid of the Miller family, Rong Xuan's eyes darkened: "His surname is Miller, and I will never let him get close to you again."

"Miller?" Tao Yiran was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize: "Could it be a relative of that iceberg beauty?"

As soon as the title "Ice Mountain Beauty" came out, Rong Xuan immediately understood who he was referring to, and his face immediately turned ugly: "Did you meet him again?"

"No," the young man who was unaware of the change in air pressure explained calmly, "it's just that face is hard to forget."

Unexpectedly, what Ulaer left in his heart was beauty, and Rong Xuan didn't care to hide his childish mentality, and asked through gritted teeth, "Is it because I am prettier, or is he prettier?"

Tao Yiran quickly pushed his head away: "Don't get too close to your face, it makes me a little flustered." No matter how angelic that face was when I was young, it was still cute after all, and it would be a crime to seduce people when I grow up.Tao Yiran is also an ordinary person, it is still a bit difficult for Mei Se to maintain her composure.

What's more, he is not so familiar with this face.

Although the other party was resisting, this answer still appeased Rong Xuan, and the proud mermaid decisively took this sentence as a response to "I look better than myself".

"Where is this?" Tao Yiran didn't want to see that face that he wasn't used to at close range, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Our boat." When Rong Xuan said this, the smile on his face deepened, and he took his hand in turn, wanting to take him out to have a look.Tao Yiran was dragged away for two steps, suddenly felt something was wrong, and wanted to shake off, but seeing Rong Xuan turning his head in surprise, he was a little uncomfortable, and explained: "I used to pull you..."

The unfamiliar face, unfamiliar person, and unfamiliar position all made it impossible for him to quickly put his feelings for the little mermaid on this young man who was already taller than himself.

Rong Xuan stared at him for a while, then suddenly walked behind him, and let him pull her back: "Let's go."

The young man who was forced to grab the opponent's wrist stayed for a while, and subconsciously let go, but the opponent didn't take it back. The two stalemate for a while, and Tao Yiran turned his head and walked away with a little discomfort: "Fuck, how old is that?" Now, let's hold hands."

Rong Xuan followed behind unhurriedly, looking at his gradually reddened ears with a smile, only felt that four years hadn't changed this person much, it was really great.

When Tao Yiran boarded the deck, he realized that he was on a big ship.

The large wooden ship is similar to the one Ulaer was on, except that the bow of the ship does not have exquisite carvings that are almost magical, but the most ordinary decorations, and even the fleet logo on the flag is so ordinary that it can be seen everywhere.

"We are just ordinary merchant ships traveling between Asia and Europe. Although it appears to be an industry owned by the Rong family, it actually belongs to my caravan." Rong Xuan said.

"...You actually became a rich man." The little mermaid who cared about him at the beginning now owns a team of more than a dozen large merchant ships. The huge gap made him even more unfamiliar with the mermaid in front of him.

Seemingly understanding what he was thinking at the moment, Rong Xuan's eyes sank: "I have tasted what it is like to have no money, no power, and be slaughtered by others. Although I still have no power now, I can have money first. Confront the Miller family , if I don’t have enough capital, it’s impossible for me to stand up.” It’s even more impossible to save you.

He has been through a lot in the past four years.All those pains and despairs were finally suppressed in his heart and twisted into his strength to become stronger. There was no one who could jump off the stage to protect him, and he was the only one left who could support all the malice and conspiracy.Being deceived, betrayed, hurt, it doesn't matter, no matter how dark the time is, as long as you think of the temperature of that person's hands, and the tenderness when he covered himself with clothes, he can still open his eyes and move on.

He thought that only when he was strong enough to be fearless would he dare to get close to the human being who was seriously injured by him and wanted to flee, but this encounter still broke his fragile persistence.He almost forgot that this human being is actually not strong, the world is full of too many crises, even if he doesn't influence him, the crises will engulf this weak existence at any time.

Rong Xuan felt terrified at the thought of this person disappearing without a sound in a place he couldn't see.

The sight of that motionless in the sink was horrific.

I will never respond to myself again, I will not laugh heartlessly, I will not scold "Fuck" in anger, I will not jump down bravely and say "I am here", and finally become a puppet without any expression.

When he rescued this human being who was about to disappear, he was so thankful that he had become stronger.

Tao Yiran didn't know what the mermaid was thinking, he just thought he was poor and scared before, and smiled: "What you think is right, no one can stop you... The question is where are we going now?" It's the sea, and he doesn't know where he's going. Tao Yiran vaguely feels that if he doesn't get off the boat, maybe he really won't be able to get off.

"We're going to the Mediterranean Sea." Rong Xuan put his hands on his shoulders calmly, "This year's battle for the Mermaid Throne is about to begin."

Tao Yiran's eyes fell on that hand, and he raised his eyebrows to look at him. The other person seemed unconscious, Tao Yiran raised his hand and patted his head: "I'm older than you!"

Reluctantly withdrawing his hand, Rong Xuan curled his lips, thinking again that this person is indeed the cutest when he is asleep.

"I want to go back." Tao Yiran refused.

"You can't go," Rong Xuan refused at all, "You don't know what your body has become, do you?"

Hearing this sentence, Tao Yiran's body stiffened.

That's what I'm most afraid of hearing.He is still holding a little bit of luck, he is still an ordinary person, a complete human being, not like those mutated monsters that were discarded in the corner.

"What has become of me?" He asked with a chuckle, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Are I going to die soon?"

"Nonsense!" Rong Xuan's reaction was very excited, "I rescued you, and I will never let you die! We finally met again, why did you want to leave so soon? You even pulled me I don't even want to hand!"

Tao Yiran looked at him helplessly, and the childish desire for monopoly did not change: "But I am a human being, and I can't do anything at sea."

"This time, it's my turn to protect you," Rong Xuan looked at him firmly, "You don't need to do anything, as long as you stay with me, I will cure you and win the throne."

"And then?" Tao Yiran crossed his arms, "This is your future, what does it have to do with me?"

Rong Xuan was taken aback.

"This is the future that belongs to you, a purebred mermaid. With my company, you have power, and your revenge is successful. Yes, it's a beautiful idea, but what about me? I'm at sea, and I can only be a low-level human being." Tao Yiran made a wicked smile, and cruelly revealed the truth, "Don't get me wrong, I left you at the beginning not just because I was afraid that I would not be able to escape hunting with you. It is because our future depends on you finding a backer It was different from that moment on.”

"...You're talking nonsense." Rong Xuan retorted reluctantly, but his strength was quite weak.

"We are existences of different races, Rongxuan," Tao Yiran looked at him coldly, "I live on a continent with sunshine. Although it is not powerful, it is enough to protect myself. You can choose the land or the ocean, you My enemies are a hundred times stronger than me, and the power I am proud of is vulnerable to them. Why should I abandon my wandering but free life and choose the sea that will make me feel ashamed?"

"..." Rong Xuan lowered his eyes and couldn't answer.

"So I still have to go back. I'm very glad to meet you who are doing well." Tao Yiran stepped forward and touched his head. Just as he was about to walk out of the room beside him, he was grabbed by the arm.

"...At least until your body is completely cured, staying here is my thanks to you, isn't that okay?" Rong Xuan's eyes were a little red, and the hand holding him was trembling slightly, "Yes, you You are right, the sea is only dangerous for you, not helpful. It’s just that I need your company, and you also need my treatment. Your old injuries have not completely healed at all, and your transformed body will mutate at any time , can't this be the reason for you to stay?"

Tao Yiran looked back at him.

"I need you, I need you very much," the young man's voice was hoarse, and the feelings and fragility that had been suppressed for a long time were all exposed in front of this human being. "I have worked hard alone for four years, and I finally found you. Can I be with you again?" I?"

Only when his younger brother was alive, did he feel such straightforward dependence and trust.

"...Okay." The human youth finally let go of all his defenses and nodded slightly.
