The water god was demoted

In the Luoyue Palace in the East China Sea, Xin Cui, the Merman Queen, gently peeled off the white feather coat of the person in front of her with both hands, and praised her bare skin.

"As expected of Zhongyue, you did a great job. Your current skin is more delicate than Xian'e. Look at your facial features." Xincui took the bronze mirror and showed it to the people in front of her. "There are no scales in the way. It’s so beautiful. You can be happy and never have to pay attention to other people’s eyes, my little prince is the most beautiful.”

The little prince's eyes were gloomy: "Mother, Zhongyue is loyal to you and loves you deeply. If you do this, I'm sorry for him. I don't want this skin."

Xin Cui sneered: "As a mother, I should always set an example of loyalty and loyalty to you. I can't let him entangle me. If he is loyal, he shouldn't have any unreasonable thoughts. He is willing to die, and I didn't force him. "

The little prince shook his head, tears streaming down his face: "Mother... I have never felt inferior because of my skin. The mermaid royal family is tall and ugly. It can protect the family and deter foreigners. It was given to me by my parents. I have never complained. This symbolizes It is my responsibility. But now, people have human nature, we only have skins, I am disappointed again and again in such a group, I feel inferior because I am a mermaid prince! You let me down so much."

Xincui Liuye frowned, held back her anger, and smiled at the little prince: "It's just a piece of fur. Don't humans also make tiger skins for skirts and fox skins for collars? Yuehui, you grow up, you know You are rebellious, but let me tell you, put away your so-called human nature. Human nature is not as simple as you think. If you are thrown into the crowd, you will not even have bones left. The family protects you too well. You can't see how dirty the outside is, you only know that you are complaining about your own house!"

"Then you throw me out, are you willing to let me have those fiery eyes?" Yue Hui looked at his mother aggrievedly.

Xin Cui sighed, "I'm all for your own good," she turned and left suddenly: "Don't let Zhongyue die in vain. If you feel bad, just cry."

Yue Hui lowered his head, tears pattered onto the clean floor.The floor reflected an equally sad body, a delicate and unfamiliar body.

At the Longmen, Yu Ling and more than 100 mermaids practiced jumping in the cold wind, jumping out of the water over and over again, until exhausted.

Next, to practice water control, Yuling could only barely absorb a little water from the river to make a water polo. After a while, the water polo broke, and the water blatantly slipped through his fingers, making him unable to hold it.

The instructor blew the bone whistle, and all the mermaids could rest.

Yu Ling curled his tail and was about to make another water polo when he heard the little prince calling him.

"Yu Ling, take a rest. I brought you cuttlefish shreds and salt water octopus." Yue Hui took out two packages wrapped in dried kelp and shook them.

Seeing Yue Hui, Yu Ling was overjoyed, quickly got up, and hopped with the tip of her tail: "Little Prince, you haven't seen me for three months!"

Yue Hui: "I know you miss me, so happy."

The little prince returned every month, and before coming here, he used a new skin to hide his eyes, so that others could still see his scaly face and bad figure.He didn't know how to explain it to Yu Ling, he was ashamed of the skin he had obtained in this way.

Yu Ling sat on the rock, chewed the shredded cuttlefish, and said happily: "It's delicious, it's chewy, you can eat it too."

The two of you ate one and the other.

Yu Ling sniffed the dried kelp, it smelled fishy, ​​and licked it, it should be the smell of the sea, so he took a bite of the kelp: "Wow, this is also delicious! This is the grass in the sea, right?"

Yue Hui nodded: "Yes. There is a kind of grass in the sea called kelp. It is very wide and has a good taste."

Yu Ling licked her lips after eating: "It's much more delicious than the grass in the river. I'm in love with being a vegetarian."

The two of you chatted about the river and the sea, chatting until the Chinese New Year.

"Tomorrow is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the New Year in the world. We mermaids can also rest for a day, and the water god Bingbai will also come to visit us." Yu Ling's eyes lit up when he talked about Bingbai.

"Well, I know, I also brought you a New Year's gift." Yue Hui took out a white snail the size of a palm from his bosom. This white snail was large in white with dark green threads.Yue Hui had never seen such a big and beautiful textured snail, so he picked it up.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, thank you little prince." Yu Ling stroked the conch and listened to it, "The sound of the sea, isn't it? The little black dragon who went back to the dragon gate to show off said conch. Look at this blue one. The pattern is so beautiful, it matches me well..."

Yue Hui smiled and said nothing, I will not tell you that it is green...

"Conch, is it edible?" Yu Ling turned her head and asked.

"There are edible ones, but the one in your hand is called the weaving snail, also called the white snail. It is poisonous. After eating it, you will have vomiting and diarrhea, and your whole body will be numb. If you eat it, you will die." Yue Hui said seriously.

Yu Ling was shocked: "Are you okay? You can't just eat it, it will take three months..."

Yuehui laughed loudly: "Why are you jumping so hard? This is a shell I picked up on the beach. Generally, white snails don't grow very big. Most of them are the size of a fingernail, and some are as big as a fist. Such a big white shell, exquisite The screw thread is absolutely unique in the world.”

At this moment, a mermaid passing by, looking at the conch in Yu Ling's hand, whether it was intentional or not, said, "Yu Ling, such a big conch, the green patterns are so beautiful."

Yu Ling pouted: "Isn't this blue?"

Yue Hui froze for a moment, and said, "In my eyes, it is indeed green, and in your eyes, it is indeed cyan. I just think it is beautiful and rare, so I will give it to you. Green and cyan are equally beautiful."

"I know," Yu Ling hugged Yue Hui's shoulders, "I meant to tell them. The color of the things you give me doesn't matter, anyway, I can't tell them apart. The important thing is that they are just like you in this world. .I have something for you too."

Yu Ling took out a palm-sized stone from his waist, held it in both hands and gave it to Yue Hui: "River pebbles, red ones are rare. I carved it into a water snail, and I think I carved it quite like it." .”

"Wow, the red water snail has a shell on its back. You can carve this tentacles? It's so beautiful, thank you."

Afraid of breaking its "tentacles", Yue Hui carefully played with the slippery "water snail", grinning and showing her white teeth.

In fact, if this work is not called a water snail, Yuehui can say, wow, what a creative poop.

"You're welcome! Do you think we two want to go together? One big conch, one small water conch, haha."

At this time, a mermaid walked by with both legs, deliberately revealing the pearls on the ankles wearing red threads, Yu Ling's face changed.

Yue Hui looked at Yu Ling, then at the pearl, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Maybe it's because the gap between stones and pearls is too big, making Yu Ling feel uncomfortable?Or do other mermaids have legs and he doesn't?

Yu Ling lowered her head: "The clam spirit who quarreled with me failed to cross the tribulation and died. The meat was eaten, and twenty pearls were robbed."

Yue Hui patted Yu Ling on the shoulder: "Life and death have their own destiny, the dead are gone, and the living are mourning. He has you to remember."

Yu Ling smiled wryly: "Look at how good my life is. I don't need to cross the catastrophe and ascend. I have formal training from the Dragon Gate. As long as I jump over the Dragon Gate, I can transform into a dragon. If I transform into a dragon, I will have immortality. Overcoming tribulation and promotion, safe and stable for a lifetime."

Yue Hui touched Yu Ling's head, expressing comfort: "Happy New Year, throw away all worries."

Yu Ling smiled: "Happy New Year!"
