The Little Mermaid Fell for the Jiaoren 99

Chapter 99: Main Story Complete

A flying ship was hovering over the boundless sea. The sea breeze blew gently, creating ripples and waves.

The golden-haired, blue-tailed little merman leaped from the flying ship into the ocean.

The silver Jiaoren followed closely behind.

The blue-tail did not wait for the silver-tail behind him at all. Deng Xi flicked his tail, swam here and there, and did not say a single word to the little mute along the way.

Too much!

It was too much!

Although he was the one who had said he wanted to drink, although he was the one who had pestered the little mute for kisses and hugs after he was drunk, although he was the one who had promised the little mute that he would not cry no matter how much it hurt.

Although…

But, Deng Xi thought of how he had already woken up, but the little mute had not stopped. He had also had to sit in that mobility chair for three days before the pain went away.

If it weren’t for the fact that the little mute had said that he could take him back to the ocean to play for a few days, he would not have paid any attention to the silver-tail. Deng Xi flicked his still-sore tail fin and drilled into a long, narrow tunnel.

His translucent golden, butterfly-wing-like gills quietly perked up to sense the surging current behind him. Guessing that someone had been following him all along, he quietly curled the corners of his lips.

As Deng Xi passed through the tunnel, he would roll up the soft seaweed with his fingertips and stroke the beautiful coral on the reef. He even touched the stone wall with some novelty.

He clearly hadn’t been away from the ocean for long, but he suddenly felt that they seemed to have not seen each other for a long, long time.

So long that Deng Xi had almost forgotten the gentle scent of the ocean.

So long that the moment he had leaped into the sea, he had felt that the deep sea also seemed to be happy and cheerful for his arrival.

As a merman who had grown up here, Deng Xi could clearly distinguish between his own ocean and the ocean of the human world.

Deng Xi would occasionally see floating garbage fragments in the ocean of the human world. The seawater there was very heavy and stuffy, and the oxygen in it was not so sufficient.

But his ocean was different.

Although it was dangerous and mysterious, it was also clean and beautiful.

Deng Xi did not feel tired at all. He passed through patch after patch of sea area. It wasn’t until his tail fin could no longer move that he broke through the water.

After being illuminated by the sun, the surface of the sea became extremely warm.

The blue-tail extended his hands and placed a small shell on the surface of the sea, watching it rise and fall with the waves. After playing for a while, Deng Xi opened the shell.

A soft jellyfish tentacle poked out.

He and the little mute had not forgotten the little jellyfish. They had brought it back with them. To prevent it from being blown away by the waves in the ocean, the little jellyfish wrapped its tentacles around Deng Xi’s fingertip, and its jellyfish top rose and fell comfortably.

Deng Xi turned his head. “The little jellyfish is also very happy.”

The silver Jiaoren, who had been following the blue-tail, replied with a sound. He picked up the small shell that was about to be carried away by the waves on the surface of the sea and held it in his palm.

His soaked silver hair was draped behind him, and a few strands were stuck to his lean waist. Occasionally, when the current rose, the seawater would carry the silver hair to the other side.

He stood there quietly, simply holding the shell and looking at the distant sea, occasionally looking at Deng Xi with a focused gaze.

The blue-tail inexplicably felt that the silver Jiaoren seemed to be out of place with this ocean. Even though he was submerged in the sea, it seemed that he could never blend in.

Besides the small shell and Deng Xi that he had brought with him, the silver Jiaoren seemed to no longer have anything else.

“Little Mute?” Deng Xi swam a circle around the silver Jiaoren. Si Jisheng looked at him, and his blue eyes gently curved. “Let me take you somewhere.”

This place was not very far from there.

They didn’t know how long they had been swimming. Occasionally, when Deng Xi couldn’t swim anymore, he would stop at a reef on the surface of the sea to rest for a while, and then be led by the silver Jiaoren.

Following the merman’s guidance, Deng Xi successfully found that place. After passing through a coral reef tunnel surrounded by seaweed, a very deep canyon cliff suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Just a moment ago, under their fish tails was a sandy seabed.

The deep sea lacked light.

But this deep-sea abyss did not seem to be so dark. In the deep sea, it had a little brightness. Its superior geographical location was as if the species that had originally lived here was being favored by the ocean.

But at this moment, the entire canyon cliff was extremely quiet, exuding a dead and lifeless feeling. But when the colorful coral reefs and all kinds of seaweed were carried along by the seawater, the vitality was so close it was within reach.

Deng Xi held the little mute’s hand and flicked his tail fin to swim towards the depths below. The little merman had always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and would rarely take the initiative to swim to such an unknown and dark abyss.

The little jellyfish was flashing, illuminating the way for them.

Si Jisheng calmly observed his surroundings to prevent any dangerous creatures from appearing in the darkness.

But Deng Xi was not afraid at all. He familiarly swam to a stop in front of a cave on the cliff, drilled into a hidden tunnel, turned left and right, and entered a cave.

With a light flick of his tail fin, Deng Xi raised his hand and let the little jellyfish’s faint light illuminate the dark cave. What entered his eyes was an exquisite and beautiful large giant clam shell.

It was even much larger than the artificial giant clam shell they had customized in the human world.

It was even very difficult to open.

Seeing that Deng Xi had pushed it but had not been able to open it, Si Jisheng reached out and opened the shell lid with one hand, revealing the soft shell meat inside.

This was a living giant clam shell.

Its signs of life were so low that even the silver Jiaoren had not noticed.

Deng Xi extended his fingertip, picked up a broken little eggshell on the shell meat, and said softly, “Long time no see.” He touched the shell lid and looked at the silver Jiaoren beside him. “This is where I was born.”

“This! This is my eggshell!”

The little merman handed his eggshell fragment to the silver Jiaoren to see.

The last merman egg of the merman species was like a treasure, and had always been protected in this large giant clam shell. It had waited and waited, fulfilling its duty, and had finally waited for the crisp sound of the eggshell breaking inside the shell.

The golden-haired, blue-tailed merman cub had eaten more than half of his eggshell in this shell, leaving only a little bit.

The large giant clam shell had automatically opened its shell lid, letting the newborn merman cub go to the outside world.

Si Jisheng guessed, “This is the merman clan’s habitat.”

Deng Xi nodded his head. “Mmm!”

The blue-tail carefully placed his eggshell back into the large giant clam shell. As a good friend of the merman species, this large giant clam shell had already lived for hundreds of years. Its shell meat would not move, and was like a soft mattress, protecting the things that were placed in the shell.

Si Jisheng paused for a moment, then asked in return, “Why did you bring me here?”

Deng Xi thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head. “There’s no why.”

The little merman said seriously, “I want to introduce Little Mute to my good friend.” He touched the large giant clam shell and continued, “To see my eggshell, and to remember that this is my home.”

“In the future, it will also be Little Mute’s home in the ocean.”

Deng Xi said a little clumsily, “It might not be very good-looking, and there aren’t many fun and delicious things. It might not even have any new changes.” He curved his eyelids. “But it’s very, very important to me, so I also want Little Mute to like it.”

“No.” Si Jisheng lowered his voice. Deng Xi was stunned for a moment, then heard the silver Jiaoren say, word by word, “It’s very beautiful.”

Deng Xi asked in a daze, “Really?”

Si Jisheng: “Mmm.”

Deng Xi asked tentatively, “Then does Little Mute like it?”

The silver Jiaoren nodded again.

Deng Xi swam forward and held the silver Jiaoren’s hand again. “I also want to take Little Mute somewhere.”

They swam out of the cave.

The blue-tail led the silver Jiaoren to a deeper place. The bottom of the abyss was not a void, but gradually, there was a little fluorescence. It was patch after patch of coralline algae.

The coral grass emitted a starlight fluorescence in the cold and damp deep sea.

The layered sea anemones were so large they seemed to be able to envelop the entire fish of Deng Xi.

Deng Xi turned around. “This place is where I found it not long after I was born.” He said in a small voice, “It is our clan’s inheritance ground. Although, that inherited memory doesn’t seem to be very reliable.”

At least the part about how to get through his mating season, it hadn’t told him.

He led the silver Jiaoren’s hand to touch the coral grass that was growing on the sandy seabed, and the petal-like tentacles of the sea anemones.

The silver Jiaoren was not a merman, so he did not have any special feelings after touching them. But Deng Xi was inexplicably a little nervous.

When he saw the coral grass that was flowing with the seawater circle around the silver Jiaoren’s pale fingertips, his eyes lit up in an instant. When he touched the sea anemones, the layered tentacles slightly closed, and then relaxed and spread out.

Deng Xi’s eyes widened, and his clear blue eyes lit up. “They are saying, welcome.”

Si Jisheng was slightly stunned.

Deng Xi’s eyes curved. “They all like Little Mute very much.”

The merman’s inheritance had agreed for him to become mates with a male, and even a creature that was not of his own species.

A soft dimple appeared at the corner of Deng Xi’s lips.

The little mute was right. So what if he was the last merman? So what if he couldn’t have little fish babies? None of these were important.

What was important was that he liked it.

He liked it.

So the large giant clam shell also liked this visitor very much, so the inheritance ground had easily accepted the silver Jiaoren who had come for the first time.

They were all supporting Deng Xi’s decision.

It was as if even the ocean was saying, don’t be afraid, be a little braver.

Deng Xi cheered himself on in his heart. Since the little mute had been the first to say it, then this time, it would be his turn.

He could do it!

His translucent golden gills began to tremble. Deng Xi nervously let out a transparent bubble and suddenly hugged the silver Jiaoren in front of him tightly.

“I’ve searched a lot on the star network. I understood some, and I didn’t understand some. They said that before the wedding, you have to take the person you like home to meet your parents.” Deng Xi was incoherent and was almost stuttering. “But this is all I have left.”

No beautiful home, and no friendly elders.

But Deng Xi still wanted the little mute to be a part of all this.

Deng Xi said in a small voice, “Your trial period is over.” His blue eyes curved slightly. “I’m very satisfied with you, boyfriend.”

Si Jisheng’s hand, which was protecting Deng Xi’s back, slowly tightened, a little forcefully, and then, because he didn’t want to hurt Deng Xi, he restrained himself and relaxed. His voice was deep. “I’m honored.”

To have met you, I feel lucky.

The silver Jiaoren and the blue-tail were intertwined. Under their fish tails was a floating fluorescence. Si Jisheng’s kiss was very light, as if it were on a treasure that was extremely easy to break.

Because it was too precious, it was a touch and then gone.

A cry that pierced through the entire sea suddenly came from a very, very distant place at the bottom of the deep sea. It was as if it were calling for something, a little anxious, and it was ceaseless.

A huge, deep blue emerged from the surface of the sea, and then quickly sank back under the surface, shuttling through.

“It’s Big Whale!” The golden-haired, blue-tailed little merman realized and cheered in pleasant surprise, “Big Whale sensed our presence and came to find us!”

The silver Jiaoren’s cold silver eyes softened slightly. “Let’s go and find it.”

Deng Xi held the little mute’s hand tightly, and with the little jellyfish, he swam towards the surface of the sea.

At a certain moment, the whale’s call pierced through the entire sky, flew into the clouds, and then penetrated to the depths of the ocean.

The merman’s low call, which had not been heard in the ocean for a long time, sounded again.

It pierced through the sea and struck the heart.

It had become very beautiful.
