Chapter 450: The Growth God of the Sea and the Little Pearl (32)
Because of Marina's identity, Xuan Mo will not leave her alone.
He was a little puzzled when he saw how much concern little Pearl had for this matter.
But now the matter of the mermaid is more important.
According to his temper, as a holy envoy of the Temple of the Sea God, he not only left his post without permission, causing him to be seriously injured and stranded outside, but also ran to the land without permission and would have thrown her back to the bottom of the sea of Ivia to be punished.
But on second thought, if he had not been ejected from the Ivia Sea by the sealed force, he might not have met Little Pearl.
This result is even more difficult for him to accept now.
So he adopted a laissez-faire and ignoring attitude towards Marina.
I didn't expect that she was so stupid that she couldn't even hide her identity.
If she lowered the impression of the mermaids in Little Pearl's mind and hindered his progress in bringing Little Pearl back to the nest, he would definitely pull out her fish bones!
Xuan Mo's face was cold and his eyes were filled with chill.
After sensing Marina's location, Xuan Mo brought Ruan Guannan to her location.
Looking at the inconspicuous and even dilapidated residential building in front of him, Ruan Guannan was a little surprised.
This is an urban village under the jurisdiction of S City. The living environment and habits here are two extremes from the prosperous and luxurious S City, and it is far away from the city.
If Xuan Mo hadn't been there, Ruan Guannan would never have thought that Marina would come here.
No, it is also possible that he was brought here.
Ruan Guannan thought a lot along the way, and she found that her previous judgment was too arbitrary.
Because Marina likes Lin Yao, Ruan Guannan subconsciously thinks that Marina will use forbidden techniques for Lin Yao like in the original plot.
In the end, she was heartbroken because of Lin Yao's betrayal.
But she waited for such a long time, but there was no movement from Lin Yao, and Marina did not seem to have lost her mind because of love.
She thought it was not the right time.
But think about it from another perspective. What if the second male lead who betrayed Marina is someone else?
The relationship between Lin Yao and Marina doesn't seem like a sadomasochistic relationship.
A gentle and handsome face subconsciously appeared in Ruan Guannan's mind.
Take in Marina's brother!
Ruan Guannan's impression of this person still remains from three years ago.
When she and the Lin brothers and sisters were leaving Lin Yao's birthday party, they took a quick look at Marina as they sent her home.
At that time, Lin Yao was infatuated with Lin Mian and complained that the man was a scoundrel.
There was a subtle flash in Ruan Guannan's eyes. Could it be that Lin Yao was right?
Xuan Mo took her into the residential building.
The strange thing is that it's not going up, but down.
It was only when we reached the basement that we found the elevator that actually went down.
Before coming in, there was someone guarding the door to the basement.
But Ruan Guannan didn't need to take any action at all, Xuan Mo didn't take these people seriously at all.
As Xuan Mo violently dismantled everything along the way, the two of them successfully went down to the second underground floor.
At this time, in a secret laboratory on the second underground floor.
Jiang Xunzhi stood in front of the bed, looking down at the girl lying on the bed with a haggard face and sunken cheeks. His eyes were gentle and melancholy.
He reached out and brushed away the strands of hair on her cheek, leaned over and gave the girl a careful and gentle kiss on the forehead, his voice was very soft, but also very firm.
"Yier, wait a little longer, you will recover soon."
The girl's eyes were closed and her brows were frowned even in her sleep, as if she was in great pain.
Jiang Xunzhi stroked her several times with his fingertips but was unable to make her relax, with a look of deep heartache in his eyes.
When he stood up, the soft emotions that were exposed on the outside were instantly restrained, and his eyes were calm and deep.
He went to the next room and looked at the same woman.
It's just that one was on the hospital bed, and the other was tied to the laboratory table.
The girl on the experimental table surprisingly had a golden fish tail on her lower body.
Even though the man had been tied up, Jiang Xunzhi still habitually gave a gentle smile and walked to the experimental table.
The fake smile suddenly fell when he saw the extra mobile phone in the corner, and his face became expressionless.
He bent down to pick up the phone, shook his head slightly, and his voice was as doting as always.
"Reina, you are still causing your brother a lot of worry as always."
Until now, Marina still doesn't understand why her brother, who had doted on her for so many years, suddenly seemed like a different person.
But she no longer had the time to think too much because her identity was exposed!
She was filled with panic and fear, and her body couldn't help but shrink back, looking at Jiang Xunzhi with uncertainty.
"How...how did you know this?"
Jiang Xunzhi gently but firmly took her hand, unlocked her phone, and looked through the contents of her phone.
Hearing her words, Jiang Xunzhi's fingers paused, and then his eyes slowly moved to her face.
The girl's eyes were always pure and bright. When she looked at him, her eyebrows were always curved, full of trust and dependence on him as a brother.
But now, I am full of defense and vigilance.
Jiang Xunzhi felt a little depressed for no reason, and the gentle smile on his surface completely disappeared.
"Reina, we have lived together for more than ten years since the moment I brought you home."
Jiang Xunzhi reached out and gently touched the smooth fish tail, causing Marina's fins to tremble uncontrollably.
He sighed, "You are still too careless. Brother picked up your scales in the bathroom."
At first Jiang Xunzhi didn't take it seriously.
Because Marina has traveled frequently to the sea over the years.
He thought his sister liked the sea and liked to raise some small fish.
But one night, when he got up, he discovered that the golden scale he picked up was emitting a faint light.
He also realized that the fish scales were too large to be an ordinary small fish.
Coupled with the luster of the scales, Jiang Xunzhi began to feel a little confused.
He paid more attention to his sister.
Although she was usually very careful and vigilant, Jiang Xunzhi still accidentally saw her fish tail.
Jiang Xunzhi was extremely shocked. He never expected that there really were such species as mermaids in this world.
He subconsciously did not make it public, but he had been paying attention to this matter privately.
I accidentally saw an ancient story in a book about strange stories and exotic objects.
The story goes that thousands of years ago, humans and mermen coexisted in harmony and were revered as sacred by small countries that relied on the sea for their livelihood.
No one knows what happened later, but humans and mermaids have been plagued by conflicts and have been clearly divided ever since.
The most widely circulated one is that mermaids possess rare treasures and have a long life.
Its flesh and blood can prolong life and revive the dead.
Humans began to fish and slaughter them on a large scale, causing the mermaids to completely disappear in the long river of history.
But now it is mostly listened to as a strange story.
If Jiang Xunzhi had not seen it with his own eyes, he might have just laughed it off.
But now I can’t.
Looking at her long golden hair scattered around her body, Jiang Xunzhi reached out and picked up a strand, rubbing it gently on his fingertips.
Marina subconsciously tilted her head to the side, pulling her hair out of his fingers.
Jiang Xunzhi didn't care. He looked down along her cheek and saw her golden tail that was shining faintly under the light.
The hesitation in the depths of his eyes gradually faded away, and he said in a deep voice:
"Reina, Xinyi has been lying in bed for so many years, she is almost at her limit."
Thinking of Shen Xinyi lying in the next room, Jiang Xunzhi's eyebrows softened a lot, and he said softly:
"Xinyi and my brother grew up together. She is the person my brother has loved for many years."
"Don't you like your sister Xinyi very much? Reina doesn't want anything to happen to her, right?"
Jiang Xunzhi stared into Marina's eyes, his voice as gentle as the spring breeze and drizzle.
It wasn't intense, but it made Marina feel like there was a big hole in her heart, and she wanted to curl up in pain.
But her whole body was restrained and she couldn't even hug herself.
The corners of her eyes ached, and she looked at the man who had been with her for many years, and couldn't help but question him with some grievance,
"Brother, Sister Xinyi grew up with you, and I have been with you for more than ten years."
"You can't bear to see her suffer, so you have to use my life to make up for it?"
Marina wanted to cry, but her eyes were so dry that tears didn't come out easily.
She felt angry and painful inside, and couldn't believe that someone who truly loved her would treat her like this.
Jiang Xunzhi was stung by her eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Xunzhi suppressed the discomfort in his heart, his eyebrows and eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice:
"Reina, brother just needs some of your flesh and blood. Your life will not be endangered."
"When Yi'er gets better, I will double your compensation."
Ruan Guannan outside the door: ...
Xuan Mo: ...
Really, it sounds quite abstract.
